ON ACQUIRING SIXTY MINUTES
When the soul shattering and sleep wrecking aural radiations from 90,000,000 family alarm clocks stir the quick and the drowsy on Sunday morning, April first, history is going to see its most colossal April Fool joke. For the hour is going to be seven, where before it was only six. Moreover, the joke will not be over even in all April, it will last to October. Time, the latest commodity to be Hoovered, will be saved to the extent of 90,000,000 hours a day.
Coming down to University realms this only means a sixty minute more intense application of grandfather's good old early-to-bedearly-to-rise bromide. We have always preached it; now we are going to practice it for an hour daily. Possibly it might be termed a military drill supplement, a moral drill.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
—and don't feel as if you should get honorable mention and your portrait in the patriot's gallery for doing it either. This is precisely a ticket buying procedure. Everyone must stand in line to get a ticket to Victory.
Take a good long nap during the Easter breathing space. You will need it. Don't forget to turn your watch up an hour on Saturday night so you can face Sunday.
It is the little things that count
He was a campus cutter. The grass meant so little to him. It was for his dainty feet to tread upon. The result—it was unexpected—an innocent cow path for studeh could not use the sidewalk.
THE QUESTION ANSWERED
This is one year in which the question of how we are to spend our Easter vacation has been answered with no conscious effort on our part. The usual list of house parties has been shortened until we wonder if that class of social function has become extinct. Nobody has asked us to be his Easter guest. We have asked nobody to go home with us.
Yes, there's a reason, not an excuse for a seeming oversight, but a real honest to goodness reason. Many of us are returning to homes in much smaller communities than Lawrence and where there is not the opportunity to get first hand war news and where the full import of war duty has not been sufficiently emphasized.
We have had the opportunity to attend Food Conservation lectures, Red Cross classes, and Military talks. Almost all of us have felt that at last there is an opportunity, not to do our bit, but to do our best. For this reason we have decided to forego Eastrt house parties and Easter guests and do war work in some of its many phases at home among the homefolk.
Have you a little SALVAGE BASKET in your home?
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
He promised his folks back home
that he would write back in two days.
He remembered two weeks later. It
was a little thing that he forgot to
do. But his folks remembered.
TIME WILL TELL
Time is the best adjustor of the nation's controversies. People of a warring nation are prone to criticize the acts and ideas of their leaders without due investigation because their mental balance is affected by the turmoil of events. Yet, some years later, when the war is over and true conditions are exposed, they will see their mistakes and praise that once abused leader for his wisdom and far-sightedness.
Lincoln, that leader and martyr of the Civil War—even HE was criticized while guiding the nation through its most trying period. But when civil strife ended, leaving the North victorious, then and only then did the nation, both North and South, know and understand the greatness of Lincoln.
So shall it be when this world war is over and people look back to the American fuel crisis. They will take into account the clogged condition of our transportation facilities, when one-third of railroad motive power had been sent to France. They will give credit to Garfield, the man who in a period of five or six weeks, by placing on the manufacturers what they termed a terrible hardship, actually dissolved this congestion of the railroads and placed the fuel where it was needed. They will honor the plain Administrator on whom this gigantic task was placed, for delivering the fuel at a cost much less than the price of a "practical" coal man would have exacted. It can never be said that Garfield allowed any man to profit from the fuel he administrated during the first year of the war.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT It was such a little thing, the sliding or pushing of a chair in front of him. But nobody in the room heard a thing that the professor was trying to say while the thoughtless student was exercising his tired legs.
Watch Fobs Aren't So New a Fad After All Old Japanese Had 'Em
Wore Them to Suspend Tobacco Case and Pocketbook or Vanity Box
It is a fact that the earliest known Japanese-made belts were useful as well as ornamental. The ingenious Oriental fastened a cord to his personally carried utensils for feeding and fighting, tied up to his belt on one end and attached a convenient, recognizable hunk of ivory or wood on the other, ready on notice, and secure against loss.
But the Japanese sculptor had no intention of going hungry. He turned his attention to the fob on the tobacco pouch and vanity box; under his hands the simple lump of wood or ivory became a thing of beauty, called Netsuke. He cut these ornaments from the bark of birds, insects, reptiles, people, and gods, with the utmost attention to details.
Then the law requiring the image of a deity to be set in up every Japanese home was abolished and the idol makers found themselves idle.
In our day, one can tell by the charm hanging listlessly on the gold watch chain stretched across the broad bay window of a stranger, whether he be be Mason, Eagle, Elk or Member of the Ancient Association of Amalganated Anthropologists. The old Oriental islander, upon meeting a man known by his netsuke in his belt, whether his patron divinity was Kwannon, Kongo-Satt'a or Fuko-Dio-Diu-Nioral.
Among the many specimens in the Thayer Collection is the "Five Tortoises." It is a perfect imitation of the Japanese turtles, a larger one forming the base with four smaller ones above it. The department of zoology has pronounced the "Five Tortoises" anatomically correct. Another specimen is a statuette of a man with a puffed fish in a basket. A little legend goes with it. The fish is poisonous unless properly prepared. The man is hungry but does not eat. It is disgusting it and consequently is in despair.
One thing, however, has remained in mystery down through the long centuries of the Netsuke's history. The use of this ancient bofen necessitated a customary punch and vanity box in plain sight, when every passer-by might see it.
How did our "honorably" friend evade the toils of the inveterate moocher? Could he tell his acquaintance that he had nothing to smoke, when there it hung in broad daylight? Or could the fair coed refuse to loan the nose-dauber at her belt?
