UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Worker For Red Cross Explains Manufacture Of Surgeons' Compress
Increased Number of Women Students Take Up New War Task
"What is a compress?" the ordinary student asked.
"A compress," answered the student who makes them "is made from a square of cheese cloth or surgeon's gauze, eighteen inches square, folded several times with the rough edges of the skin," and form it is eight inches long and four inches wide. Nurses and doctors use it in Red Cross hospitals to dress wounds."
Five hundred compresses were made by the forty-two women enrolled in the surgical dressings classes last week. Eighteen women were on Thursday, the largest number since the classes have been started.
For making compresses, or doing the other work which the workers in surgical dressings classes will do, a long-sleeved apron, or a short sleeved apron and cuff, a big handkerchief to cover the hair, and a six-inch ruler for measuring. At least an hour a week, several hours are better, are necessary.
The schedule on the door of Room 205, Fraser Hall is put there merely as a convenience for students and instructors. Women who wish to work do not need to sign up. Those who have signed are not limited to the hours for which they registered. All that is required for the classes is that they have the necessary uniform, wash their hair, wash their work. Room 205 is open from 3 to 6 o'clock Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday.

The Soldiers in Town.
To the young male members of the University who have joined to work
university who have not gone to war:
Those "Can't we postpone this date till next week" pleas over the telephone yesterday and the day before were caused by a general depletion of the nearby army camps over Saturday and Sunday and a quo vads to Lawrence.
In other words there were too blooming many soldier-fellows in town for decent competition with us common civilians. The All-University Bump Saturday night looked more like a military ball than it did what it was. The streets of Lawrence yesterday had the appearance of the company streets at Camp Funston on ladies' visiting day.
But where there is life there are dates and the soldiers are about all gone by this time and those four-for-ty misterantonio dates still hold good. Be thankful for something, of youth
Spring is here!—so are the new fabrics for Spring Suits.

Protecimate spurts of spontaneous conversational combustion speeded up sluggish digestions and pierced the beclouded zenith of the world's problematic horizon after lunch at the University club today. The Sage was still there at the head of the table, and the Prophet was ready to prophesy, but a newcomer within the esoteric circle set off so many intellectual bombs that one no had a real chance.

"Now I wonder," and again and again-"Now I wonder!" So he spoke. And th Sage gave Delphic word, and the Prophet said not a word.
"Verily," replied the Sage, "h who speaks thus today must be near er truth than he who spoke then," so quite, so quite," agreed the Prophet.
"I wonder what was meant when all she said last cold snap that it was the last one," quoth the Wonderer.
The intruder was promptly named the Wonderer.
"I wonder why things are thus, why—" the Wonderer had unconciously touched upon the universal enigma, always under taboo around the sacred board. Stern eyes were fixed upon him.
"Wonder if you will," the Sage laid down the law, "but keep your womenture onto yourself. Things are always have been and always will be."
"How about Kansas weather?" the Economist couldn't keep out another question.
"Oh, that is the one eternal exception," answered the Sage very solemnly. And no one gainsaid him, not even the new abashed Wonderer.
