THAT EXTRA SLICE
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1918.
Do you know that if you eat more than one thick slice of bread at each meal or more than one muffin for breakfast that you are eating more food than the voluntary ration for American civilians permits? You are eating part of the amount which the Food Administration says is necessary to send to the Allies.
The voluntary rationals for the average American for one week are:
Three pounds of war bread, including oatmeal, cornmeal, and other wheat substitutes.
Three-fourths of a pound of sugar
Two and a half pounds of beef.
One-half pound of pork.
One-half pound of wheat flour to be used in sauces and gravies.
One-half pound of fats for cooking.
One-half pound of butter for the table.
One-half pound of fats for cooking. The Food Administration has not made food saving compulsory in this country. It is seeking to persuade the people of the United States of its necessity and so make compulsory rationing unnecessary.
Do you know how much food you eat in one week? Are you willing to figure out the amount and abide by the Hoover pledge which practically every University student signed last fall?
There is to be a convocation where the speaker is eloquent and the subject vital. What changes hath the war wrought!
REMEMBER THE TUSCANIA
"The bodies were brought to the burial place on one big motor truck, which was followed along the route several miles long by a squad of twenty-five khaki-clad American survivors and the village mourners. One of the villagers carried the Union Jack, while an American soldier had aloft the Stars and Stripes.
"At the grave side, the American soldiers sang 'The Star Spangled Banner,' followed by the natives singing 'God Save the King.' The usual military salute was then fired, ending the ceremony."
Such was the funeral ceremony of the Tuscania's dead. It was proper that these men should have been buried with military honors. There should be no misunderstanding of what the graves on the Scottish coast mean.
These men gave their lives for their country.
Let no one think to the contrary.
Let no one think of this, our first considerable loss, as a thing which awakened America to the fact of war.
Never, can we spafe lives for that purpose. There would be no honor in thus dying.
When we remember the Tuscania, let us thing that in the cold waters of the Irish Sea, American soldiers
died for the cause as nobly and as heroically, as they ever would have died in the trenches of Lorraine.
A student who was almost enrolled when the whistle closing a course blew, has decided that those back in Washington are amateurs when it comes to the real handling of red tape.
A SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY
All of the $11,000 subscribed to the Students' Friendship War Fund by students of the University during the campaign here was due February 1. $6,000 of that amount is yet unpaid
The Registrar believes a campaign for the collection of the pledges will have to be started soon. The money is badly needed to carry on war relief. This condition is a six thousand and dollar reflection upon the good faith of the student body. Students should not have to be campaigned and dunned to force payment of their voluntary pledges.
The pledges have not been paid for because students found their allowances, perhaps, were unexpectedly short. Some spent the money for other things. A few have merely forgotten the payment.
But in making that pledge the student took upon himself the serious responsibility of its fulfillment. He made himself responsible to the specified extent. He furnished a basis for the expectation of the fund collectors.
If the pledge is not paid the work of this nearly sacred cause is cut short just so much. The payment should be equally as free and voluntary as was the pledge. Simple honesty should make a campaign unnecessary.
HOOVER SAYS TO THE COLLEGE STUDENT
The vital problem of world food is not generally understood.
. . . . .
They are pains felt by our allies as well as by our foes. We must make this known to all our people, 'that all our people may understand the great and indispensable and immediate role they must play in this all-important part of the war situation.
You can impress on the people around you, and wherever you go, the fact that the critical phase of the world food problem is now, not the question of high or low prices, but the question of producing and saving and sending enough food to our allies to keep them alive and strong and steadfast in war.
You can understand it, and you can explain it. You can help us let the people of this country know that our allies depend absolutely on us to maintain their food supply.
But not all of you can now march to battle; not all of you should try to, but all who should not or can not, and all who are sticking to their work of making themselves fitter for their future service can still serve, and serve now. There is very much that you can do right now.
From every American college man the country expects the truest devotion, the truest patriotism and the highest service. And it will get it. You will give it.

Tommy (dictating letter to be sent to his wife): The nurses here are a very plain lot—
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
His hat was caught by the wind and blown for half a block. Another student finally grabbed it and walked back with it and handed the headgear to the owner. He gruffy snatched it and continued on his way. Both trivial things, but one made the little thing count and the other failed to do the little thing.
HE KNEW
Tommy: Never mind, nurse, put it down. It'll please her!—Ladies Home Journal.
Nurse: Oh, come! I say! That's not very polite to us.
"That confounded rooster next door woke me up with his crowing," said the husband with a yawn. "Not satisfied with that, he kept on crowing for half an hour."
MENTAL LAPSES
"Well," put in the wife, who knew what she was talking about, "to succeed in waking you up is worth crowing about." —Life
Beautiful Ernestine was sobbing as thought her heart would break.
MAYBE HE WINS
"What is it, dear?" asks the girl friend.
"W-why," she sobbed, "I t-told Jack, after he proposed, to go up and see papa."
"What of that?"
"Why, they started playing cards, and now he goes up to see papa every night."—Chicago Ledger.
BENEATH HIM
"But didn't Opportunity even knock at your door?"
"Probably."
"And you didn't answer it?"
The worried countenance of the bridegroom disturbed the best man. Tipteup up the aisle, he whispered:
"No," blurted out the unhappy Jock, "the ring's safe eno." But, mon, I've lost ma enthusiasm." —Southern Woman's Magazine.
“What's the matter, Jock? Hae ye lost the ring?”
"I? Of course not. What do you think the servants are for?"—Transcript.
Your Daily Quiz On University History
Question: Who set out the University iliae hedge?
Answer: Joseph Savage, a friend of Chancellor Marvin who owned a nursery farm south of Lawrence, offered the plants to Chancellor Marvin. At this time, the campus was quite barren. Chancellor Marvin was anxious to improve the campus, and one day accompanied by some students, he went to the Savage nursery. He brought the plants to the campus and planted the hedge.
CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will then not be used until you have completed the editor must know who is writing the communication as evidence of your writing. Communications are welcome.
To the Daily Kansan:
The companies in military drill at 4 o'clock have never been dismissed on time this semester. One night this week they were dismissed at 5 o'clock—ten minutes late. On every other night they have been held from fifteen to twenty minutes overtime.
Such conditions naturally make drill unpopular, and judging from conditions last semester, drill should be pular in order to succeed. Drill periods are regular Unierview periods; all classes should be dismissed promptly at ten minutes until the hour. This does not mean the companies should get a hard time at this time, but that they should be at the rvm and dismissed then.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this week by ordering their companies to double-time up the hill, the captains managed to get their men out of the gym at five minutes after five— fifteen minutes late.
If the student is to be compelled to take five hours military drill he certainly should be treated fairly by being dismissed on time.
Sidewalks can be uneven and only comparatively dangerous by daylight, but on lightless nights they can constitute a positive menace to public safety. A headline that ambiguously said Lawrence streets were unsafe at night would be a dreadful thing to publish, and lest civic pride be hurt I hope your valued paper never prints any such thing. But nocturnal pedestrian locomotion is so uncertain over two-inch abrupt granolithic precipices that a hope and a prayer do seem necessary.
Fair Play.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
I ruined a shoe. I skinned an ankel. I lost my equilibrium and my temper. And all on account of an unseen impediment in the assigned portion of the city throughfare for to walk upon. A little concrete neatly applied will eliminate many such obstructions in town. This is not complaint. Rather is this the expression of favorant lancing.
Yours truly,
The Daily Kansan—a daily letter home.
