that German trench knife Dad took of a heine back in 1918, the last year of the big war. And see, his name is stuck on it, too."

Second Student—"Yes, and when Uncle Bill was a sophomore on the Hill, in the spring of 1920, he left this clip of dum-dum bullets for exhibition. He picked up some specimens of French and German glove, those over there in the big revolving glass case."
The University of Kansas has the beginning of an interesting "World War Collection" in the souvenirs now on hand in Dyche Museum. Two or three men who were in the University before the war were the donors of those gifts.
An exceptional opportunity to help our Alma Mater is given to former members of the A. E. F. Each veteran probably has one or more moments, picked up for the "folks at home." Surely there is no better way of preserving these prized souvenirs, which are now familiar sights to the home folks, than by intrusing them to the care of the University.
But to make a complete collection — enough of an exhibit to be instructive to the generations of peace times, who will follow the present students—more of the trophies must be donated to the University by the overseas veterans who have returned to school.
Relics contributed to the Museum will be carefully preserved and exhibited so that the generations to follow will have a complete picture history of the German war machine which Kannas men helped to conquer
Dig up that gas-mask, Mr. Student, and the vrench knife, the pipe from Cobblers, and the lace you bought in Alsace—and turn them in.
Many a good afternoon for work or play is lost while watching for the post-man.
UNDER A BUSHEL
A sophomore engineer, William W. Brehm of Hutchinson, has written the prize-winning senior play. In spite of the fact that it was Brehm's first literary attempt in his University career and the judgments he is an engineer, the judges decided his entry, "It's a Great Life", was the best of the four plays submitted.
No better instance could be desired to show that there are right here at K. U. many literary lights concealing themselves under the proverbial
bushel. In a group of four thousand persons, much more talent is certainly present than has made itself known to date. Whether through modesty or lack of confidence or sheer indifference, the greater proportion of those possessing ability to remain diamonds in the rough.
The tone of the University publications would be decidedly improved if those with ability would emerge from the gloomy recesses of the bushel measure. As conditions stand at present, practically the same few persons must work on all the literary productions of the Hill. The result is material of inferior quality must often be utilized, a few people have achieved undue notoriety and the publications tend to be no longer all-University enterprises.
The success of William W. Brehm, sophomore engineer, in the line of dramatics, should point the way to other students who have been husbanding their unused talent not wisely but entirely too well.
Mississippi has followed the lead expected in rejecting the suffrage amendment. Southern chivalry seems to be determined in its stand against giving the women the ballot.
"EYES THAT SEE NOT'
Do you know of any University student who has not seen Potter's Lake?
There may be a few students who will be surprised at anyone asking such seemingly simple questions as these, but most of them will have to admit that they have not done at least one of the six and there may be several who know of students in the University who have never seen Potter's Lake. Questions like those above are only a few of the dozen which could be asked about interesting and supposedly well known points on the campus. Students who have been on Mount Oread from one to four years would find that many or few of them possessed little significance for them—simply because those students were not sufficiently interested in enough different topics to make the effort to learn and observe outside of their own spheres of activity.
In suggestion, not altogether new idea, is to have a regular series of sight seeing tours around the campus and through the buildings, in order that all students might really become acquainted with their surroundings. If each new student was conducted on such a trip when he first enerved the University he could be better mat's to realize the opportunities open to him and could learn a great deal about the noteworthy things which are so
requently passed by with unseeing yes.

AS TO THE PUBLIC
To the Star: I have read quite a bit about the conditions between capital and labor and how the industrial conditions will affect us. Will the Star please state just what class of people is the public?
Every man who owns a thrift stamp or a Liberty bond or a mortgage, or who has money in the bank, or carries insurance, is to that extent a capita-
tional employer. Employers might be, whether by working with his hands or his brains, is a laborer.
When we speak of "capital," "labor" and "the public," we are using rough and to some extent misleading classifications. Most of us are capitalists, most of us are laborers, and most of us together constitute the public.

The firing off in production occasioned by strikes helps to lower the standard of living for the public, and the public comprises employers and employees, capital and labor—The Kansas City Star.
As for the public, we are all included. For convenience, the term is applied in labor disputes to those out-of-work workers. But in the long run even the parties to labor controversies are in the same boat with the others. They belong to the public. When the public interest they are affected along with the rest.

News of Alumni and Former Students
For many years there has been an incompicious procession of girls going through the streets of Lawrence. Starting from the University, they move on to give their "literary" work in the newspaper offices of the city. After a longer or shorter stay in the offices of their choice, they break ranks and pursue their individual paths to larger offices, or homes of their own.
One of them, Miss Alice Rohe, 96,
has become a newspaper woman of
nation-wide fame and international
experience.
When, as a very small child slender, to use a kindly word—and active, she darted inquisitively in and out of all the by-paths on the way from school and now she is writing for the United Press what she sees in the tragic streets of Vienna. Miss Robe has always had an understanding of the scientific psychology, aided by the scientific psychology of her college course has made her professional work of unusual value.
As a student she contributed to college publications and after graduation took her place in line of K. U. girls who have been society editors of the Lawrence papers. But the "entertained charmingly" and "spent the day in the city" items soon paled and she secured a position in Kansas City. One morning, acting upon a request from the guise of a starving seam-stress going to work, she took an early street-cur for the suburbs and fainted most realistically in front of a small grocery store. She was sent to the General Hospital, and found it, as she suspected, in a most deplorable state. A few days later she took the story to her newspaper and was enthusiastically received. But the city authorities, hearing of the matter upon the editor's paper the paper had no space for Miss Robe's story.
Then Denver claimed her for a season. Her ambitions by that time, however, were centered in New York and she secured her place on The World by means of a scoop. "The people were refused to be interviewed," Miss Roha was told that if she got an interview and a picture from this woman "I would mean a job for her. She not the story, a photograph, and the job. The photograph was a likeness of a cliché evidenced even did not lack visibility.
Until the climate and unremitting overwinter drove Miss Rheo wrist again, she was rapidly forging ahead in the city that had met all of her expectations. As soon as she felt herself re-establishing control over the Rocky Springs, she plucked went to work again on the Rocky Mountain News.
While she was still too ill to seek regular employment she read to one of the leading theatrical managers of the country the scenario of a play she directed induced the play in New York during the season—but some one else wrote it.
Last year Miss Rohs's sentence of banishment expired and she again makes her headquarters in New York.

A reader of the Journal asks a very interesting question. He writes, "Will you spare a few minutes to tell us why it is meant by 'a typical American'?"
If he had asked for the ideal American we could have pointed with confidence of not being widely disputed to Washington or to Lincoln.
WHAT IS A TYPICAL AMERICAN?
The typical American can hardly be described by naming any one figure in our national history.
He would have to have the money-making instincts of a millionaire; the generosity of a poor man; respect for the law as long as he thought the law just and a determination to annul a law which he thought unfair; a desire for equality of opportunity, but a recognition of the rights of accomplishment; charity for all and a helping hand for the suffering; a broad sense of liberty, but no indorsement of responsibility in the work, but unwilling to be a slave; a country and a profound affection for his family; a belief in God and a determination to sustain and support what he thinks is right.
Lincoln once told a story of a dream which he said he had. He seemed to be in a great assembly, which separated him from others and might pass. As he walked along he heard some one say: "He is a common looking fellow." "Friend," replied Lincoln in his dream, "the Lord says that he will die why is he made so many of them."
To our questioner the best answer is: As you go along the street pick out some "common looking" American. He will be as nearly typical as any can find. Maybe if he looks in the mirror he will not even have to go out to find him.—N. Y. Evening Journal.
