K. U. WOMAN IS AUTHOR
Margaret Lynn Writes New Book Entitled "Free
Margaret Lynn, associate professor of English in the university, has written a new book to be published in April entitled "Free Soil."
It is the story of the Free Sail struggle in Kansas which culminated in the John Brown battle at Osawatomie. The personal story of a New England man, who was the subject of his friends is interwoven with the attack on Lawrence. The love affairs of two of this group furnishes a fine thread of interest throughout the story. Though many of the characters are fictional, there are historical and fictional elements. The men and women are sympathetically portrayed with the same touch of keen observation and understanding which has marked Miss Lymn's literary work for readers. It is also written of "A Steaplaughter of the Prairie," mother story of the frontier.
Miss Lynn received her B. S. from Tarkio college in 1899, and her A. M from the University of Nebraska in 1900. Since 1901 she has been instructed in the department of English Literature in the University of Kansas.
DR. BLACKMAR TALKS
Meeting
"The Garden of Eden" is Dean's Subject at Y. W.
The weekly meeting of the **Y. W. C.** a, held Tuesday at 4:30, was lead by Bessie Gilias. The special music consisted of a piano song by Miles Bilim and a vocal solo by Philip Darryk, who sat on the "Garden of Eden."
"The Garden of Eden," said Dr. Blackmar, "is a poem of the history of man. The voice of God has been calling to man ever since, and as we strung up from darkness and darkness, we still heard the voice calling.
"Every religion of earth has been born in fear, but Christ came into the world as a God of Love—not to win over men, but to win relations of human life."
“More and more we see the universal love of God, and more and more we realize that the love that Christ taught, is the greatest thing in the world, and evil will matter not, for love has given us faith.”
"The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. U. said Dr. Blackmar in conclusion, "have gone far to teach the Bible to our children because we need everyday life, and not in the literal way, in which the adult mind can not believe."

"For they're hangin' men and women For the wearin' of the green,"
Members of Professor Boynton's class in the Economic and Financial History of the United States say that the Professor is showing marked anti-Irish tendencies in the class.

Today is the anniversary of the birth of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. He was born in the year 387.
Many Myths Told of Saint Patrick
After attending several monasteries he finally came under the attention of Saint Germain and it was due to his influence that Saint Patrick was later promoted to the priesthood. But amid growing criticism, he turned to Ireland and one day he journeyed back and started his missionary work among his fellows.
On the popular legend relates that the saint and his followers found themselves on a mountain with no fire to cook breakfast or warm themselves. Saint Patrick had the men collect a pice of ice and smash sand, according to the second and then he breathed upon it, and the pice became a plum ant fire.
The shankrach is almost universally worn in the hat over all Ireland on St. Patrick's Day. The popular notion is that when St. Patrick was preaching the doctrines of the Trinity to the pargan Irish he use this plant bearer known on one stem as the symbol or illustration of the great mystery,
Every one associates the phenomena of smakeless Ireland with St. Patrick. According to the legend he drove the reptiles out of Ireland by beating on a drum which he beat with such fear that he knocked a hole in it thereby endangering the success of the miracle. An angel appearing mended the drum and the patched instrument was oong exhibited as the holy relic.
In the Galet Mountains situated between the counties of Cork and Tipperary there are seen lakes. In one which is called Lough Dove, it is said that St. Patrick, when banishing the snakes and toads from Ireland, chained a monster serpent telling him to remain there until Monday. The monster is named Ita-Monga, out in Irish. It is a long Monday patrick."

Vienna School Children Are Sick and Starving
Vienna, (By Mail, Delayed).—One hundred thousand school children in Vienna are underfed and diseased as a result of food shortage lack of fuel and heating. The report cording to a survey recently made here by the American Red Cross.
Crimine among the child population is on the increase hunger sometimes driving little boys to ghostly attempts at murder. The juvenile court is being overwhelmed with the criminality.
Business activity in Vienna has almost ceased. During the shopping daily addition of fresh cases of child hours the great Ring streets near the opera are deserted as compared with their appearance during the war or even during the early months after the armistice.
Advertising in the newspapers by business houses had dwindled down to insignificant proportions. To take one instance Vienna's leading paper recently carried only 27 advertisements, 17 of which were offers to buy jewellery, seven of skin disease specialists, one offer to buy old bottles, and two offering face powders for sale.
