Home Service Class Is Doing Good Work
Dean F. W. Blackmar at Head of Work for Families of Schooling
Soldiers
The training in the home service section of the Red Cross conducted by Dean F. W. Blackmar, is gradually getting into practical work. The principle of this work is to care for the soldiers and sailors in the service.
The principal work at present is to give advice regarding allotment, allowance, and insurance. The law of October 6, 1917, is a practical agreement of the federal government to take care of the families of the men in service. The home service section assists the men and their families to obtain the benefits of these laws.
The section supplements the work of the federal government wherein it is needed, in providing for families in emergencies. There are thirty-two members of this class who will receive sufficient training to prepare them to take up the work in their jobs after they leave the University.
An office is maintained at 5 East 9th Street. The office hours are from 3 to 5 o'clock daily.

University Will Offer Special War Courses For Summer Session
Term Runs from June 3 to July 12 and July 15 to August 9
Special war courses with University credit will be offered in the summer session this year. Many of these are regular courses which will remain unchanged in name although they will be so modified as to include information concerning our present national situation. This is especially true of the courses especially designed for our area. We Relief and Home Service, Military Science, Origin of the Great, and Present-day Latin America.
It is also expected that non-credit courses in home economics will be offered to help in understanding the techniques to prepare workers to meet that situation.
The first term of summer session will begin June 4 and close July 12. The second term will begin July 15 and close August 9.
"Students desiring to shorten the normal four years of a college career and so enter sooner into their professional or business lift, should feel that the summer session is not a school separate and distinct from the regular 9-months course, but rather a continuation of it," said Dean F. J. Kelly, of the School of Education, this morning. "We are overseeing it to utilize the three summer months which they usually spend in pleasure and affords them a chance to prepare themselves sooner for work in which the nation needs them."

ALL THE SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES WILL HAVE MOST OF THEIR MEMBERS THERE
The snappiest "Midnight Frolic" ever given on Mount Oread is now being rehearsed for this very unusual dance. There is a cast of thirteen and a chorus of fifty-two— 99 99/100% girls!
Haley's six-piece orchestra, featuring "Doc" Bevensee on the violin and "Baron" Corti on the saxophone, will play for the dancing.
[A three course supper will be served during the Midnight Frolic. "Brick" will cater
—and that means good food!
[The course is 'Girl's Night Club']
The winners of the "Our Kansas Girls" Contest will be announced.
The programs will contain sixteen pages of "dope" on the party, including the choruses of all the "Midnight Frolic" songs. The decorations will be unique, and the lighting system a delight.
Some lucky couple will win ten dollars when the programs are given out during the Grand March.
There will be other unusual "stunt" numbers, including the famous "Carnival Dance." "Very Good Eddie," originally scheduled at the Bowersock for that evening, has been off the road for a tour of the military cantonments; so there will be no conflicting attractions.
Tickets are being sold by forty members of the promotion committee; or they may be purchased Friday at the check stand in Fraser Hall. Buy tickets early to avoid standing in line Friday night. Open to all K. U.

LONGER LIFE FOR MEN'S CLOTHES
NEGLECT, more often than wear, shortens the life of clothes . Treat a good suit considerately and see how it repays you in longer service . But first remember that care is wasted upon poor garments-that it can never supply the lack of all-wool fabrics and honest workmanship-qualityies which the Kirschbaum label absolutely guarantees $20 to $40
