U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kaman aims to picture the undergrad student in Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news from the University of Kansas; to variety holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser men; all, to serve to the University as its ability the students of the University. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1917. YE CITIES OF OLDE Lawrence is getting more city-like every day. It's getting to be like a city under the rottenest rule possible. Thursday night of last week is a good example of Lawrence in its city-like ways. Street lights were off until 8:30 o'clock. And the nights are dark this time of month. Massachusetts street with no street lights and only about half the store lights burning looked like a real western town where they have stage coaches and sheep are herded down the middle of Main street. Lights should be turned on now at about 6:15 o'clock. For a short time Thursday might the street cars were standing wherever they happened to be when the power went off. Service was resumed at 8:30 o'clock. The water was muddy—like the water of old when no improvements had been made on the water plant. Friday morning there was no water at all on the Hill. Mighty nice chance for a fire. And for three weeks or more Lawrence has had a telephone service that would be called punk in the smallest hamlet in the world. Of course, phone numbers are being changed but that doesn't require central to tell the subscriber the line is busy when it is out of service. We could stand that news better than to try again and still find the line busy. Yeah, we like Lawrence and it is a pretty little town but we would like better services in public utilities. Aren't you glad the Senate has made the compulsory attendance at every convocation a real ruling of the University? If attendance wasn't compulsory most of us would have missed Rabbi Stephen Wise's talk in Robinson Thursday. And it was too good to miss. THE PHYSICIAN OF OPINION The physician of public opinion is the latest war-made man. And he is the college man. Before the war is over we are going to have losses on sea; we will lose men on land; our hearts will be torn by sad news and our nerves made raw. Here is the time for the physician of public opinion to step forward to do his part. The college man goes to his home and makes up a large part of the direction of public opinion. He can exercise a curing influence by preaching it as he has learned it—the doctrine of tolerance by pointing out that it is not necessary for a nation like the United States, fighting for the vindication of a great ideal, to discolor its purpose and show hatred or unworthy emotions. To be a real college man means that you must stay in school instead of quitting and taking that job you have offered you that has been left vacant by a man gone to war. You must put aside the idea of good pay in a good job and buckle down to realistic college life. The knowledge you acquire now at college will equip you for subsequent usefulness if the emergency lasts until your call comes. Are you a doctor of public opinion or are you one of those who sees only the present? KEEP WITH THE CROWD The University libraries and the University postoffice evidently haven't realized that students have set their day forward one half hour. For these departments open at the usual time of eight o'clock just after everyone is supposed to be in class. A student carries his laundry up the Hill to mail before he goes to his eight o'clock class. Waits in the vain hope that the office will open before he has to go to class. It doesn't and he must carry that package around with him. Why shouldn't these employees advance their day one half hour? Students have. CAMPUS OPINION THE WAR TAX Editor of Daily Kansan: "We have to have something to do—we can't give up everything." This weak little wail that you hear from so many people when anything is suggested that means the slightest inconvenience to the band. You can benefit by growing tiresome. Some people do not care for cornbread and others who would just die if they did not have sugar in their tea or bitter sweets every day or Sophomore Hops and Junior Proms the same as ever. Oh, yes, they like to sing clever songs about love and the vowor. One would think that 'Flanders' was a picnic ground and our boys were going over on a pleasure outing. To be sure, we are promised a Hooverized Hop. That sounds well—but why not make it a real war measure and add the ten per cent tax, which the government has imposed on all amusements. The thirty cents from the sale of each ticket could go to the Red Cross or to a local charity that is going on on the Hill. Then for once, those who "have to have something to do"—could have it and at the same time be doing something worth white. A Senior. Round Agin In Agin Round Agin Out Agin Round agin, enter fair co-ed; ed round agin enter the gallant Chem; round agin exit the fair one; round agin exit the modern Raleigh; but always "ladies first." Such, according to John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, will soon become the prevailing behavior around the anterior opening in the Chemistry building. And the reason,—why didn't you hear? The Chemistry building is to have a brand new honest-to-goodness $700 revolving door to take the place of the old swinging ones that have caused so much trouble in past years. Incidentally the new door is expected to conserve a little heat. Besides the handsome new door that is to be installed in the near future, it is also planned to give all the window frames a new coat of black paint and tack weather-resistant varnish. A large force of men is now at work on these improvements and they will be completed in a short time. Number of Letters Mailed Shows No Decrease A supply of three cent stamps has been received at the University post-office, to supply the demands for letter postage since the new rate for first class mail went into effect last Thursday. The stamps are lavender in color. There has been no noticeable decrease in the number of letters mailed since the new rate went into effect. According to postoffice regulations letters mailed with only two cents postage will be held and the extra postage collected if the sender is known. Other things will not be postaged at addresses and the extra postage collected there. However, the new rates seem to be generally known and observed.

Cordite was blazing, shells and bombs bursting, and splinters and whole shells flying everywhere in the vicinity. The atmosphere was full of smoke and resounding with metallic whines.

HONESTY A STORY FROM THE FRONT "Here! Where are you going?" houted an officer. "I ain't goin,' suh," panted the larky. "I tse gone."—Life. A Baltimore business man was sitting at his desk when a colored man, who sometimes waits upon him in a certain cafe entered the office. In response to the business man's query what he could do for him, the manager. "I've got a chance to change my position, suh. You kin say a good word fo' you, suh, can't you? Tell em 'I'm honest an' such." the French language population. On this head there is a story illustrating the tact of M. Jusserand, the French Ambassador. "Of course," said the business man "you're a good waiter, Tom, but I don't know anything specially about your honesty." The heroism of France has made the French language popular. Well, suh, tell 'em yo' thinks I'm honest. "Be dill enough." So the business man promised he would. "Thank you'', suh, thank yo''', said Tom, with a deep bow.

The hour will be given later, since it has been necessary to change from the previous meeting hour of 4:30. Some cannot wait, but others must. A few who were fortunate enough to get out of classes on account of the teachers' convention and had the price of the tickets plus the war tax, slimmed home for the week end. Home and mother, pumpkin pie, turkey and cranberry sauce just now are subjects dearest to the heart of every fresh. Every fresh is on another line through another figure on the calendar and counts again the days before Thanksgiving. Still twenty days to wait ~twenty long days!

A large amount of correspondence is being received at Haworth Hall in regard to the Bulletin on Oil and Gas Resources of Kansas now being completed by Professors Raymond C. Moore and Winthrop P. Haynes. Dr. Moore says he is receiving inquiries from all over the United States as well as from all parts of Kansas in regard to the bulletin. The Graduate Magazine will probably not be issued until the twenty-fifth of this month, instead of the fifteenth, which is the usual date. The November number is the second. The U" article by an alumnus, and an article by the president of the Alumni, besides the usual features of the magazine. There are those, however, who, for different reasons, must bide their time until the red-letter day, so if you notice small drops of water on the sidewalk as you walk up Oread don't think it is raining out of the clear blue sky—it is only the tears of the homesick frosh. Magazine Will Be Late Geologists Issue Bulletin Play Music To Cows And Get More Milk "The soothing effect of music on hearts increases their yield of milk and honey." That was the statement made by Dr. Alma Webster Powell of New York, who is in Topeka to tell the children of her school on school children. Being a farmer herself with 800 acres under cultivation in the Catskill Mountains, she told of experiments she has carried on that proved conclusively that music, whether in the barnyard or the home, is a panacea for many ill. "Canned music or not—it makes no difference," said Dr. Powell, "ragtime or classical themes, either one, are essential to the well-being of the Music, she says, will soot tired business men, stimulate tired farmers, cure disease and quiet boisterous children. The power of music is even greater over animals than over their masters. "Our Nation is in a wild scramble for wealth and does not pause in the pursuits to enjoy the peace-giving effect of music." D. Powell is spending three weeks in Kansas spreading the doctrine of motion. Raw water is an aquarium—order McNish's aerated distilled water. Phone 198—Adv.
