The Daily Kansas aim is to preserve the University of Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University represents. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
FRIADAY, MARCH 22, 1918
Have you a little SALVAGE BASKET in your home?
A STATE TOURNAMENT
Today more than 400 athletes both girls and boys from practically every first class high school in the state are in Lawrence as guests of the University of Kansas at the eleventh annual baketball tournament. They represent every section of Kansas. For many of them it will be their first visit to K. U, and Lawrence. University students—both Greek letter and non-Greek—should do their part in making this first impression a favorable one.
The tournament here today and Saturday is more than a basketball battle to decide the best team. It is a huge gathering where the western portion of the state meets the eastern and where just as remote sections meet in healthy athletic competition. Only one team in the boys' and girls' tournament can win yet each year the increasing number of teams enter the tourney. The active interest taken in the contest and the pleasant friendships and meetings which have resulted from coming into contact with strangers from their own state, should meet with every encouragement.
This gathering of high school athletes foreshadows the great meeting of these same athletes in the University in the years soon to come. These men are the coming athletes of the University of Kansas. It is a universal gathering of athletes who will later meet in university competition. It points out to the high school athlete the universality of K. U. in athletes and academic work. K. U. welcomes the high school basketball player.
BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS
Men in service have great need of good reading libraries. The war service administration recognizes this fact and is endeavoring to establish a library in every camp and trench and on board every vessel.
Officials at Spooner library are as sisting in this commendable service by providing a place of mobilization for books given from K. U. Every student and faculty member should be able to contribute several books to the cause.
As to the kind of books desire there is no limit. No matter what you give be assured it will be appreciated by the boys in khaki. Look over your books today and bring those which you are not using now in your classes to the University library.
Suggestions given out by the war administration for your giving are:
The war service administration hopes that for every book purchased at least five will be presented to the libraries. It has been done in Eng

land; it can be done here.
Mobilize your idle books
Give your favorite author; the novel that interested you last summer; the volume of poems with a meaning and a message for you.
Give the book that causes a pang at parting, like saying good-bye to an old friend. Ten chances to one, it will mean more to some soldier.
Give the book that is still alive but which you and your family have outgrown. It is the one which should be passed on to the camp libraries.
Give your latest war book; you will probably not read it again. The boy in khaki is waiting for it. Reading it will prepare him for conditions "over there."
Give books on technical subjects; there is an insistent call for works on acroplanes, automobiles, gas engines and engineering topics generally. Don't think the boys are interested only in fiction.
Write your names and a message on the fly leaf; it will make the bond seem closer.
Remember that he gives twice who gives quickly.
Hoover ought to be able to do something for Cussin' Tom Smith, who modestly admits that he has volunteered three times for service against Germany, but was rejected for overweight.
GROWING NEED FOR NURSES
As our casualty lists come in from France, increasing every day, 20, 30, 50, and on, the demand for American nurses to care for the wounded in French hospitals grows accordingly. At present 30,000 nurses will be wanted. Not that many are qualified. For this reason women who have had training as nurse's aids may be taken. The need for nurses in this country will also increase. The Red Cross course in first aid and the class in home nursing are being given to help meet this need.
University women who have enough spare time to take up either or both of these courses should do so, if for no personal reason, only because the need for nurses is so great. If in the future it should come to be impossible in many cases of illness to get a nurse then a practical knowledge of the care of the sick will be valuable. Both courses lead to Red Cross certificates.
There is room for more women in the first aid class—which was started Wednesday night. Watch for notice of the next meeting and stop an hour to attend it on your way to the library.
MENTAL LAPSES
Clewell, working in a warehouse, backed into an elevator shaft and fell down five stories with a load of boxes. Horror-strecken, the other employees rushed down the stairs, only to find himself unharmed out of the rubbish.
"Ess de boss mad?' he whispered, cautiously. "Tell 'im I had to come down for nails, anyway."—Breeze.
"Very good. Now change the sen ce to an imperative."
"The horse draws the cart," said Leonard.
"Leonard, give me a sentence and we'll see if we can change it to the imperative mood."
Grammatical Knowledge
When General Leonard Wood was a small boy he was called up in the grammar class. The teacher said:
He—He did! I'm the man—Lehigh Burt.
She-I wish the Lord had made me a man.
Hobby—I think Miss Van Slant is very magnetic.

POET'S CORNER
I wonder if in heaven's height
Our God don't turn away 'is Face
I don't care 'lose the crime may be;
'I olds no brief for kin or clan;
THE STRETCHER-BEARER
And as the war's red rim I trace, I wonder if in heaven's height
My stretcher is one scarlet stain,
and As T tries to scrape it clean,
it sinks.
For all I've 'card, for all I've seen;
Around me is the 'ellish night.
As man destroys his brother man;
when woman does, only know.
I 'ymns no 'ate; I only see
As man destroys his brother man;
waves no flag; I only know,
As 'ere beside the dead I wait,
in ojipiih 'darkness, far and near,
All night I've sought them weefal
A million 'earts' is weighed with woe
A million 'omes' is desolate.
In Grimpin' darkness, far and near.
Dawn shudders up and still I 'ear
The crimson chorus of the guns.
Look like a ball of blood the gun
'Angs o'er the scene of wrath and
wrong—
'Quick!  Stretcher-bearers: on the run!"
O Prince of Peace! 'Ow long, 'ow
They Said It All On Saturday Night
"Who gets me now, Bill," she said, and the first crash of the impanous traps crashed down his reply. He repeated it.
(From "The Rhymes of a Red Cross Man.")
Robert Service
Her nose lifted and wiggled off a spec of violet tale. "I told you I never would dance with that brute again," she added. "I will turtle doves, and there also be turtles."
"Mose Musty," he shouted, "and here he comes!"
"Should have told him program was full up. It is. I would dance with you all night till the dawn stars burn away!"
"But I couldn't help it, Susie. She asked for the trade and what could I do?"
"That sound great," he thrilled with it,—"but you know you can't choose your partners at these college dances. I've told you time and again that that man can swing a hundred votes for me. Elections are coming."
"Politics—I hate 'em," she almost strangled the words. A hairpin was dislodged and she jabbed it back into place behind her ear.
"It will be all over in two weeks, Susie, all over," he said with six precee clocks of his teeth. "Brace up, gir! here they are. Hello there Mose; howdy-do Miss Jennie. You've met Miss Simpson haven't you?"
Money saved saves day and night for you. Buy War-Savings Stamps!
"Not so much as I'd like to," rumble! Moses as he climbed for the prevalent soul harmony. Her ear-rings rattled under the thunder of his next outburst. "Ahn't his dance volcanic!" He looked up, the night's the just-rightest kind of a night we've had since—Oh, beg pardon! Did that hourt?
"No," she lied gracefully and with a reassuring smile. "You hardly jumped on it at all."
"Positive?" He was desperately doubling time to alleviate confusion.
"I never do that," said Susie with an honest-and-true, hope-to-die look of a faithful fawn. Then the traps stopped and somebody heard the piano. Bill came back to claim his own.
"Say, do you mean that," he said eagerly speedily up another notch.
other comparison.
"Ab-solutely!" she dutifully answered.
"You're an awfully good dancer."
"We survived," said Bill. "Well, we scout, how is everything? Been home for weeks."
"Naw," replied Bill, "not since Christmas. Think I'll go again in about two weeks — just before election."
"Oh!" Bill and Susie had a duet.
"Iyep, I'm going to keep out of this
band." Kind of tired of just having
political talk now. I want
the real kind like you."
"Thanks awfully, Mose," Bill's voice sounded as if it had been through a cream separator. "On with the dance!" This last was in a whisper.
A club in the colored school of Bloomington has been established by the Y. W. C. A. cabinet. At the weekly meetings, a talk tending toward the promotion of better living from a physical standpoint is given.
"One hundred votes, I think you said," pursed Susan as if she had some catnip. Only this time she was playing with a mouse.
