DO UNTO OTHERS
Every day increasing demands for clothing, hospital supplies, and food-stuffs are coming from Uncle Sam's boys overseas. Where hundreds of articles of clothing have been sent, we soon must send thousands. Where pounds of supplies and foodstuffs have been sent, we soon must send tons.
The Red Cross is the one volunteer organization which has proven itself big enough and broad enough to take up this work,to perform this service to our armies,our allies,our nation.
Perhaps you are not expecting to enter the national service soon. If not, then listen to the still small voice of mercy, take that dollar, and become a member of the Red Cross. Every lapel decorated means one less grave in France.
SPARE THE WORD
If German spies could only be convinced that old North College is of value to the United States, the University authorities might be relieved of the necessity of tearing it down
Camouflage and sign painting.
Bless those who do it! But the art is becoming a quack. For is there the classroom, alleged amusement column, high school paper, or freshman theme that doesn't employ camouflage in some far fetched or near sighted attempt at cleverness or French?
Geographically and pathetically, it has gone away over and beyond both “There” and “The Top.” “Somewhere” can no longer be distinguished for camouflage.
Of all the arts, camouflage—forgive the word—is today the most applied. It is applied to last year's hat, the complexion, landscapes and wheatless days. It is also used to a moderate extent on the west war front.
Time was when the word had just come over and was new. Retiring and moderately modest persons sa'd nothing, not knowing how it ought to be pronounced. But universal education for once put in well its time. At present progress, one may soon expect to hear the baby in the jam-pot or the pudle explain himself with lisping "camoflage."
No one, nothing seeks honest deciet any more. Whomever or whatnot would be disguised, or thinks he would, is a follower of the French school. Folks no longer masquerade; they camouflage. One must even suppose that the good people he meets are "angels in camouflage."
it will soon be time to establish a fund and society for the relief of the French in art—and out of it—University of Washington Daily.
A Christmas suggestion: Avoid that slump in class work just before the holidays and you will not feel bound to put those books in your suitcase when you go home.
ALIVE BUT DEAD
If they have discussed nothing else the various war relief campaigns have revealed the fact that all kinds of people populate Mt. Oread. Here is a person who will drag out his last dollar when solicited for the Friendship Fund, and there is one in whom the same soliciting arouses nothing but obstinacy. The one is moved b; appeal; the other becomes set in his unreasonableness.
In prosecuting the war, the nation is engaged in too big a job to make it profitable to deal individually with the type of person whose responsive nature can be discovered only after a laboratory analysis. Fortunately most of us are alike to the extent that we are not invulnerable to appeal. The American people have been preached to from the beginning of the war and have taken and heeded advice with a willingness that might seem improbable of a nation so firmly intrenched in the ideals of democracy.
In the end it will be realized that a successful war was made possible by citizens who became neither angry when preached to, nor stubborn when given advice; rather by citizens willing to live and learn. The fortune is ours that the unit of American nationality on the Hill is of this type.

Headline—“K. U. co-eds are returning to primeval nature.” Ladies, is this a war measure?
Even at that the Kaiser's faith in Praetorius tells him to expose himself to gun-fire.
Someone has reported that ants in Nicaragua are displaying knowledge of military tactics. Is this also to be ascribed to German propaganda?
The consoling fact in the announcement that the tallest man in K. U. has left out erudite company is that from the very nature of things we still have a tallest one left. Who is he now?
The Bureau of Internal Revenue announces that the number of millionaires in America has doubled since 1915. What we poor unts would like to know is how long is history of this sort going to repeat itself.
It is presumed that our faculty men have chosen military drill in preference to gym. The choice is wise, for, between a bunch of professors in track suits and a bunch in conservative chinchillas there are all to plainly revealed the truth of the assertion that "the clothes make the man."

The kindergarten had been studying the wind all week—its power, effects, etc.—until the subject had been pretty well exhausted. To stimulate interest, the kindergartner said, in her most enthusiastic manner:

The month of December has been remarkable so far for the cold and wind according to the weather statistics in Blake Hall. The temperature went down to 7.5 degrees below zero Friday, August 31, and fell by the department in twenty-five years. In 1892 the temperature went down to 9 below zero. Sunday morning the wind blew at a speed of thirty miles an hour for six hours.
