MORE THAN FOR KNOWLEDGE
The University is not merely a found of knowledge which is dispensed to resident students or through the medium of the Extension Division to a few non-resident students. The skill and time of the faculty are applied to all the people of the state, to the development of the natural resources of the state, and to playing first aid to the injured butcher, baker, candlestick-maker, plumber and physician.
Forty-two different kinds of state service are done by the University. Professional and scientific investigations and reports as well as advisory service are available to the people of the state for the asking. For example official post mortems are made for murder cases.
High schools over the states receive material from the University. Kansas editors bring in their perplexing problems.
The scope of the University's usefulness is state-wide, for everyone from sixteen to sixty. The state service covers a very comprehensive field.
Although the energies of the faculty have been turned toward war to such an extent during the last few months, this valuable service has not been allowed to slump. War work must be done, but over and above that it is necessary that we approach normality as nearly as possible. Good internal conditions in the nation are in themselves a war measure.
ATHLETICS FOR WOMEN
Four basketball teams representing the four classes at the University of Kansas will complete a series of five games Thursday night with a final battle between the champion senior team and the sophomores. This gives every indication that women are coming to take a more and more active part in athletics and sports at the University of Kansas and at other colleges in the United States.
The women on these teams this year had much to do that to some might have seemed of more importance than playing basketball, but they set aside a certain amount of time each day and faithfully worked to perfect real teams. Many of them did not get credit in gymnasium for their work but did this for the love of the game and because they wished to see interest increase in athletics at the University. And the efforts of the basketball coach here should not go unnoticed.
That their efforts were not wasted is shown by the final result of the series played. True the seniors outclassed the other teams but this organization had been building up for the last four years and had remained practically intact during this whole period. But the closeness of the race
is shown by the fact that it took the game last week to decide whether the freshmen or juniors were to hold down third place. The sophomores were not sure of second place until almost the close of the season.
When the nation is calling for the best physical condition of all of its people, the work of the women in establishing athletics on a firmer basis at the University will meet with much approval throughout the state. It shows that the University woman in Kansas is keeping in the best sort of condition.
I AM A WAR-SAVINGS STAMP
I am a bit of paper with some green on my face and some glue on my back.
I would fight for freedom in the spirit of Washington whose image I bear at heart.
I am worthless without you. Allied with you my power is dynamic.
Allied with you I can put uniforms on American warriors, shelter them, feed them, float them to France, help them wheel mightly cannot into place, feed their weapons with bullets and shells, urge their steel-clad tanks through the impregnable lines of the enemy, soar over his defenses, destroy his bridges and munition works, sink his navies, overthrow his tyrants. I will free him as I free you and myself.
I will seal the death warrant of automatic butchery of men.
I will seal a Magna Charta of the world's organized peace. I am the precursor of an international league to enforce justice.
Take me. Place many more beside me. Keep me. By all odds, keep me until my work is done.
Apart from one another, you and I may drink the bitter draught of defeat.
You and I, united, will win.—Ex.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT

Your Daily Quiz
On University History
Question: If all the students on the campus some morning were suddenly to be thrown violently to the ground, would there be any scientific proof available that the Hill had been shaken by an earthquake?
Answer: The seismograph in the basement of Blake Hall records all earth tremors. The instrument was set up in 1909, as a part of the University weather service. It rests on a specially built pier which comes up on the building's foundation. The instrument is so sensitive to all quakes that a wagon of coal passing the building may cause it to register. It is valued at about $400.

POET'S CORNER
When things are looking murky and the fight is all up hill,
Just plug a little harder and do it with a will.
For a hill looks like a hummock; and a hummock like a plain.
To the man who plugs the harder when it's hard to make a gain.

After having covered more than 2,000 miles on a trip of inspection, the senior civil engineers at the University of Oklahoma returned to the university the first of the week. The party was made up of Prof. R. C Terrell, R. V. James and George L. Dolph. They left Norman January 28 and were gone seven days, during which the phases of their visits were visited. The men were very enthusiastic about their trip "back east", and came back with their knowledge of electrical engineering greatly increased.
The first place which the party visited was the Santa Fe shops at Topeka, Kansas. Here the various plants, including those for the construction and repairing of locomotives and cars, were inspected, as was the different types of machinery used in the shops. Lawrence, the home of Kansas University, was visited that afternoon. The University hydroelectric plant, the testing laboratories and the large 13 span bridge located near Lawrence, were inspected there.
Dean Felgar, of the College of Engineering, is in receipt of a communication from the Navy department stating that all students who are regularly enrolled in a technical course with the understanding that they will can enlist in the Naval Reserve, not be called except in case of a crisis. Any student of the Engineering School, who is desirous of exemption until the completion of his course, can enlist in the regular navy with the practical assurance that he will be able to finish his course.
Southwestern has one hundred and thirty six stars on its Service Flag. It will also have one gold star and five red stars on it.
The authorities of the St. Louis and Washington Universities have offered the government a site for a national hospital for reconstructing the soldiers disabled in the war. They have directed a careful survey of the various facilities of the city and of the institutions available for this purpose and sent them to the national government. Acknowledgment of the offer was received by wire messages from Gregas, surgeon-general of the army, and Mr. Bagnato, who whether the survey submitted is satisfactory or not. The government plans to establish a hospital of this sort, with a capacity of a thousand disabled but convalescent soldiers, in or adjacent to the larger cities.
The loyal co-operation of the business of this country with the government was illustrated a few days ago when the Scully Steel & Iron Company conducted the sixty men of the Northwestern University School of Commerce Ordnance Course over its extensive plant at South Ashland Avenue. The man had been receiving instructions in stores and this work at the University, and through the courtesy of the Scully Company were enabled to see the operation of stores principles as illustrations of their classroom work.
"I wish you'd sing of the new war songs, ma'ma. Me and my husband ain't been to a cabaret in Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald.
"My poor woman," said the settlement-worker, "what can I do to relieve your distress?"
Can you sing, ma'am?'
"Why—er—a little."
"Was your wife angry when you got home last night?"
"Well, you see, she neglected to take the flowers out of the pots before she threw them."—Philadelphia Ledger.
"Angry? Why, my boy, the dear woman pelted me with flowers!"
"But how did you get that black eye?"
"Ah," sighed Mrs. Jenkins; "we're never sure of anything in this world." "Yes, we are," replied her husband. "Whenever you are quiet for half a minute I am sure that you'll say something soon or burst, and I've never missed it yet."—Brooklyn Citizen.
