Students Book Exchange Closes Until Next Fall
The book exchange has closed with a record sale of $450 worth of books. The management announces that the book exchange will be available next week.
Those in charge of the book exchange feel that the unprecedented demand for used books due to a sudden drop in their number has an unusual shortage of new books but to the stress of economic conditions which are continually forcing an ever increasing number of students to describe their expenses wherever possible.

Relics Are Being Collected For University War Exhibit
War relics are being collected and will be displayed for the benefit of the University by Handel T. Martin, curator in the department of paleontology, as soon as possible. The contributions have been made by K. U. men who gathered the relics from the battle fields, but many additional contributions are needed to complete the collection. Mr. Martin will be glad to receive the donations from who may desire to help make the K. U. collection best in the country.
Capt. Wint Smith of the 47th Intrusion, 4th Division, senior in the college recently turned over to Mr. Hampshire as captain. One of the interesting features of Mr. Smith's donation is a small rather plain looking flag. This flag is one of the three American, French and British flags under which King George received Generals Foch, Pershing and Admiral Meerbusch and Admirals Beaty and Venzi; Simenio of Greece and official representatives from each of the Allied nations, on July 19, 1919, the day on which England held her Victory Celebration. Mr. Smith climbed up the pole and got the American flag. The flag is mounted by eight officers and is intact except in few heavy crease spots.
There then is the French "Pollau" blanket which was made in 1880 and had been in the possession of the 18th Battalion Chasseus, 1st co., 4th division of the French Army since that time. The blanket is of heavy brown material with the date of its making and was produced in yellow cloth through the deep brown border. It has several holes burned into it.
There is a German Prismatic Compass of horse shoe shape which was taken from an officer commanding a cavalry brigade on September 26, 1918 and an English "Tommi" canteen which is covered with heavy brown felt which will hold about two quarts and weighs about three pounds with its 'leather hair'.
A German offensive grenade called "Potato Mater" because of its shape, is also in the collection. The Germans used them on their raids against the Allied trenches. The grenade contains 10.5 ounces of domestics and weighs about 7.2 pounds. It is a timed grenade which will explode 5.5 seconds after being thrown.
The French helmet has two rather large dents in it and is practically covered with a dried form of mud. It is fitted with a leather lining but its owner had relied it with paper, because the phosphorus granze which on exploding throws a shower of burning phosphorus. The grenade was used to smoke and burn out dugouts and contains 325 grams of red phosphorus.
There is a German gas mask which was taken at the mouth of the famous Crown Prince's Tunnel in the Champagne sector near Malnourc. The German to whom this mask belonged was too slow in adjusting it and was sitting upright when caught by a French gas shell.
About fifty other Germans were lying dead around the tunnel mouth when Captain Smith took the mask. The German's name "Thole" appears on the mask and there is a bayonet in the mask container.
The collection also contains a message carrying bomb which was designed by the French as a means of sending messages to the rear front when communication with the front line was cut off. The message was put in the "front" end of the bomb. On falling the bomb sends forth two small columns of smoke for about half an hour.
The German map which was found in a German major's room by Captain Smith is conclusive evidence that the officer knew long before war was delared the destinations in France and Germany, and the map is of the region about St. Die and Epinal and was taken at Adenan, Germany, in January 1918. The major had left for this particular sector at the outbreak of the war, the caretaker of the residence told Captain Smith. He was killed in the early hours of November 1918, overseeing maps among his belongings of this same vicinity.
Another map of Verdun, Monfaucon and the Argonne vicinity was taken from the pocket of a German aviator who was shot down by an American plane three kilometers northwest of Verdun, Sept. 19, 1918. The map is designed to show the forts that encircle Verdun.
Mr. Martin is making a collection of all such war relies and expects to receive many vanable contributions from many of the K. U. men who have served in the Indian Army may have a comprehensive collection of relies from the World War.
Discuss Fly Problem
The problem of fly prevention is now being discussed by the class in home nursing in the department of Home Economics. "March is the breeding time for flies," said Miss Jessie Cline. "During the winter the birds go to nest and die to hatch in March. Now is the best time to fight flies by getting rid of their breeding places. Manure piles should be removed and all decaying vegetable matter left from last year's garlands should be burned."
