The Daily, Kansas aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university than merely print the news by standing for the ideals the University stands for; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be tough and to be tough problems to wiser heads in all, to serve to the students of the University. MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1918 Have you a little SALVAGE BASKET in your home? TIME AND MORE TIME Day's too full, no time, no time—the Lord will bless a good work and take up its cause—but for finite folks there isn't a moment more to spare! Now it is hard enough to endure the spectacle of the world from even the perspective of heaven today,—let alone carry the additional burden of properly human activities for the good of human beings on a blood-soaked earth. The Lord's time is a long time; He has all eternity. But the sons—and daughters—of men have to do all that they are going to do in a mighty short time. They have no right to lay a time job on the labor schedule of heaven. They have no right to commit a personal responsibility for a day's work or any part thereof to the beneficiency of the Omnipotence. Omnipotence has other things to deal with. The works of men are the works of men and by men they must be done. The day is full on Oread way out in Kansas. Mortals think themselves oppressed with toil. Mortals should think less and toil more. There should not be more than one blast of the trumpet to call workers to a new task. Less important items of the day should be lopped off and readjustment should be made immediately. The horn should not be blown so long that its sound becomes monotonous, that ears become accustomed to its continuous wailing note. There was a call to surgical dressing work weeks and weeks ago. A handful answered it. It is still calling. The same loyal few are still answering. The rest are thinking of a hard, hard day, and trusting to the Doer of All Things Good and Right to take care of His own. It isn't that He won't or can't. Rather it is true that immortal hands don't ply needles and roll bandages, don't make compresses, don't stanch blood. The spirit is given that such things can be done just as the spirit is given that the agony these things relieve can be endured even to death. No one person in the world or in the United States or in Kansas or on Oread is telling the women of this university that they shall go to a place—such as Fraser Hall—at a specified time to do a specified duty—such as make surgical dressings. The story comes from over the sea from the articulate cry of American wounded coming and to come in the hospitals on the American front. Six hundred beds waiting for the mangled, broken men who have given almost more than life—six hundred beds have beside them in readiness only forty dressings of certain kinds that mean life and death. The hope for more is slendor. The need for more is too clear. The few people who were making dresses at the University of Kansas responded to the urgency and raised the number of compresses from 200 the first week to 500 in one day—last Friday alone. Who are doing the work? Uper classmen mostly, women who have to give most of their time to student activities this year, who naturally have far less spare time than freshmen sophomores. The work is swift. Half an hour's work will produce enough to make the time vitally worth while. House mothers are heading squads that come in intensive relays. Just a moment out of the day—another precious unit of time forced in—for old K. U. must make the 8,000 dressings set as a goal. There will always be room for another any time of the working day in the surgical dressings room over in Fraser Hall. Of course the day is crammed full already. But someone has written a thousand times that a day is a century long in France and that he who lives through it is a century tired. Let the demands multiply here. Strike off the new schedule with the needs of the new day. Put your own marching orders to yourself in due proportion to duties you lay upon yourself. And don't shift one to the charisty and pit of heaven. There's a dingy, mud-walled, dripping dugout behind a front-line trench. And it is not so far from the surgical dressings room in old Fraser Hall to that dressing station on the line. There is a place you know is yours,—a duty you must fulfill. THEY TOO MUST SERVE Attention of University women is called to another branch of the government service in which they may be useful. The bacteriology department has received a letter from the Surgeon-General's office through the Council of National Defense explaining the need for women of training in bacteriological work to act as military aids or laboratory technicians. This branch of the service is under direct military control. Women who are employed will serve in army hospitals in large cities, but not in camps. M. D. degrees are not required, but a thorough knowledge of laboratory technique is necessary. Here is an opportunity for the K. U. woman of science who has not made other plans for next winter to forsake the lavender tatting for Cousin Betty's handkerchief and do something worth while for Uncle Sam. This is a chance for genuine service; service which is just as essential to the ultimate success of our cause as the work of the aviator or the surgeon. The field of greatest efficiency for every woman lies within the scope of her training and ability. Think it over and file your application. LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT When the girl next to him thanked him for passing the plate at the club he started in thanking her for every little article that was passed to him. He thought thanks were "high brow stuff," but he appeared ungentlemanly in the eyes of those at the table. Pa and Mike were in a front-line trench which had been under continuous bombardment fifteen hours. Suddenly Mike jumped up, grabbed Pat and shouted above the shriek of the bursting shells: "So this is the little girl, eh??" Mark said to her as she displayed her children. "And this sturdy little urchin in the bib belongs, I suppose, to the contrary sex." Mark Twain, so the story goes, was walking on Hannibal Street when he met a woman with her youthful family. HE WAS SHOCK-PROOF "For heaven's sake, Pat, scare me! I've got the hiccoughs."—New York World. "Yassah," the woman replied; "yassah, dat's a girl, too."—Christian Register. ALWAYS CONTRARY "Why is Holland like Germany?" "Because it is a low, lieing country, dammed on all sides."—Ex. POET'S CORNER A MOTHER OF FRANCE The Countess, whose 'high' courage like a flame Spring from her race' her country and her name; The Cure to the quiet chateau came. Slow-footed, faltering, his spirit. Beneath the sombre message which he bore Who shabby black as some great honor wore. Hiding this sorrow that her brave heart tore in succoring the sick, the poor, the lame. Three times had Father Francois climbed the hill To bring death's tidings; and erect, dry-eyed. She met the last with strength unbroken still. "Why should I weep?" she asked with stately pride: "Mothers shall envy me the glorious chance That I have had so much to give for France!"—Charlotte Becker. Never let a bore bore you, bounce him instead. Hilltop Philosophy He: I've decided to enlist. He: I've decided to enlist. She: When did you flunk out? Rocky The sage says "something is wrong with the educational system that makes it more pleasant to read worthless modern stuff than Shakespeare and the Bible. Now is the time in the semester when the "educate me if you can" student sees only fair sailing ahead. The easiest time to work is when there is something harder we ought 'o be doing. Take care when you roast some one to see that it is not rare or too well done. "For one man who wishes to be uplifted there are a million who wish to be entertained." A student may be a regular Charlie Chaplin in spirit, but he should strictly obey the bone-dry, prohibition, and anti-saloon laws, and not let his spirits get the better of him while he is in the company of sober persons. The old codger who sent the famous telegram that reads like the conjugation of a Latin verb would have wagged a different tale had he been waylaid by an effusive, blue-eyed K. U. maid soliciting votes for "Our Kansas Girls" contest. In fact, his last clause would have read, "I was conquered." A student we know is like a person caught in a revolving door. He goes to class, listening to lecture after lecture. But when he winds around one side, he immediately comes back on the other. And the trouble is he doesn't get outside his orbit, either to the inside where his logical destination is, or to the outside by the door through which he came. Stalling—The art of making your hazy knowledge of a subject, appear like a master's decision; should be used discretely and with care; never in masterpieces, astronomy or abundance—The Tech Collegian. A Socialist—A man who has nothing and is willing to share it with the world.——The Tech Collegian. The only dance the school board will allow in the high school is the vaccination limp—The Echo. New York Sun—Well anyway, we don't believe many babies were named for Trotzky. The Pathfinder. Kaiser, Take Notice There is no peace saith the Lord, unto the wicked.—Isaiah 48:22—The pathfinder. "Washington threw a silver dollar across the Potomac." I know not why the sun does shine; I know not why I call the mine; I know not why the birdies sing; In fact, I know not anything! Ma: "You've been drinking, I can smell it on your breath." PROGRESS Kaiser, Take Notice Pa: "Not a drop. I've been eating rog legs. What you smell is the ops." "Wilson's got him beat. He throws them across the Atlantic." Irate Captain: Halt there! Irate Captain: Your horse's hind gs out of step with the fore legs. Yale Record.
