SIX-DAY PLAN NECESSARY?
THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1918.
With the recommendation of the six-day week proposition by the Faculty War Council, a question which would revolutionize the University life may be brought before the Senate for immediate action. And this action should be immediate, although it should follow careful consideration. This possible means of shortening the term and aiding war work is too big a matter to be decided without careful thought.
It would undoubtedly mean a saving in money to students while at school and give them an opportunity to get out and start work. But on the other hand it would mean night laboratory work, longer hours at study, only one day of rest a week, and speeding up of all activities on the University campus.
It is certain to work hardships upon students or instructors who remain until the Summer Session to continue work. They would be idle for a whole month and might be forced to leave the University. To the student who has heavy library work, the slightest bit of slacking in work, would mean many sleepless nights. The working student who depends on Saturday to earn the money which enables him to go to school, would find that day taken away from him. He probably would have to leave the University.
It would release some skilled farm labor and a large amount of other labor that is unskilled that might be used on the farm. This seems to be the main reason for modifying the present system. For many students it might mean an earlier start on a vacation. As a war measure—and it should be considered on this basis—it should be weighed with utmost fairness, and if it is found necessary for the good of the nation it should be adopted.
With next semester barely a week away, immediate action is essential if the six-day plan is to work out better than the hastily arranged plan of compulsory exercise.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
It's the little things that count.
SCIENCE VINDICATED
We are at last getting the idea that the kitchen is important as a war laboratory, and that in it, our opportunities are numberless. The war has made domestic science sound reasonable even to our unbelieving grandmothers and obstreperous dads. Mary, may now come home from college, don her apron, and cheer up the old kitchen. She may make a cake and leave out the sugar, and instead of meeting derisive laughter from a
critical family, she will meet praise.
But Mary will serve other things besides cake. Her chief joy while home will be to show the folks how many tasty dishes can be prepared without occasioning a single frown from Mr. Hoover.
Let us continue the kitchen demonstrations such as are on this week. They should be continued. If everything as important as cakes made without sugar would always be taught in the University, fond parents of Kansas need never send their sons and daughters farther from home than Lawrence.
DID YOU DO THIS?
A story is told of a Hooverish housewife who had three food cards in her front window, five sheets of instructions pasted on the walls, clippings in her kitchen cabinet containing an announcement of all the United States Food Conservation, Preservation, Reservation, Enervation and Vexation Board. Every night, she read over all the newspaper clippings to know whether the next day was wheatless, meatless, catless, or treatless, then went to the grocer store, and bought vast quantities of caviare, crab meat, turkey, venison, and other foods.
Such a bill of fare almost caused a bankruptcy and so she decided to buy rice, corn meal, peas, beans, and lentils. After a fortnight, her husband remarked "Isn't it about time. we had a square meal again?" So all the clippings were thrown into the furnace, to help out the shortage of coal and a nice juicy beefsteak was enjoyed.
After all was much accomplished toward food conservation? This might illustrate some of our feeble efforts. While Hoovering in one thing, we are extravagant in another and in the long run, really waste more than could be saved by following the customary method.
MENTAL LAPSES

When Governor Head was in New Hampshire, Colonel Barrett, of the governor's staff died, and there was an unseemly scramble even when his body was awaiting burial with military honors. One candidate ventured to call onoun Governor Head.
"Governor," he asked, "do you think you would have any objections if I were to get in Colonel Barrett's place?"—
The answer came promptly: "No I don't think I have any objections, if the undortaker is willing"—Reedy's Mirror.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York tells this story on himself: "Not long ago a mother of one of my pupils came to me and said: 'Doctor, how could you speak to my little girl so cruelly? She came home in tears and never wants to go back.' What on earth did I say to her? I asked in astonishment. 'You told her if she didn't come offender you would throw her in the furnace,' the accusing mother asserted. I thought it over, much more than that. "What I really said was this: If you are not more regular in attendance I shall have to drop you from the register." —Reedy's Mirror.

things, the pleasures of my kind.
Those golden hours are safely gone.
But midnight gas must light the trail of hours to friendship burned.
The vaccinated arms may ache, but for a Hoover loke.
We'll trust to them and will not drink a sultant "coke."
But now when comes a day of rest, as still such days will come.
With quizzes passed and notebooks in,

Remains of no less than 152 Indian mounds have been located near the Chetek lakes in Barron County by C. E. Brown and R. H. Becker, who describe their findings in the latest Wisconsin Archaeologist. In the region covered by the investigators, which included Rice Lake, Lake Pokegema, Prairie Lake, Chetek River, 233 mounds were found—probably more than in any region of similar size in Northern Wisconsin.

The Harvard University Press in Randall Hall will be closed for the next four days, in accordance with the order closing industrial plants, and will also, be shut down every Monday for the ten specified weeks.
The decision in respect to suspending lectures on Mondays for ten successive weeks will be delayed until the exact terms of the Fuel Administrator's directions are known. In the meantime, every possible economy of heat is being made. Haldon Chapel, exhibition roms, and large lecture halls at the Germanic Museum, the Kidder wing, and the second story of the laboratory wing at the Gray Herbarium will be closed entirely.
The Fogg Art Museum will be closed Sunday, Robinson Hall will be closed Saturday and Sundays, the recitations on Saturday being transferred to other hours. The Widener Library will be closed entirely on Sundays. Heat in the student dormitories will be maintained for fewer hours during the day than heretofore, and will be cut off entirely at 9 p.m.

"I think we have at least located the blame for the coal situation," began the explanatory statesman. "I don't care anything about the blame just now," interrupted the ordinary citizen. "Haven't you located any coal?"—Washington Star.
