UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
FIRST PROBLEM IS FOR NATION
"In Our Interests In Business Don't Forget Country," Sol Westerfeld
At the noon lunchroom at the Oread cafe today Sol Westef尔德, who spoke this morning on anti-trailing-stamp merchants of the importance of the present war crisis and of every man being "American First."
"It is a fine thing for you merchants to be able to meet and talk over your problems together, and hear men of national reputation on the ground. I know that said Mr. Westerfield, "but there is a more vital question facing every American citizen today than the welfare of his business. It is the welfare of the country. We are connected us with families, and has given us the opportunity to prosper."
"It should make no difference where a man's parents were born, or where the man himself was born, he should be loyal to the grand old country that has fostered him and his for so many years. A man cannot help but feel conflict, but all his sympathies should be swept aside when he considers the position of the United States in the present world crisis."
Mr. Westerfield is a naturalized American citizen, having immigrated tc this country from Germany in 1888. He speaks slightly broken English, but the sincerity of his remarks brings applause time and time again from the sixty merchants who attended the luncheon.
'TIS TRUE THE STORY HAS BEEN TOLD BEFORE A Failing of Mere Man.
"Yes, boys. I've sworn off on Old Lady Nicotine," said a K. U, student, as he swelled out his chest and straightened up an inch or two.
"About five minutes ago."
"Good! Good!" came a chorus from his companions. "When did you quit, old man?" continued one interested listener.
"Bobuh?" answered one of the boys.
"I'll bet you will be sucking that old pipe again before the end of the week."
"Not on your life. Tell you, feliows, it is a useless, lullish habit. A man who smokes is a spineless molly-coddle. Why does a man continue to make himself a walking nuisance to society by saturating his clothes and his breath with the odor of tobacco? For me, I'm tired of having every girl I talk to sniff as though I were the proprietor of a skunk farm."
"Since you have quit, you might as well grate your quitter of yours," you said. "And the men."
"Oh, I see!" returned the other man knownlv.
"Not on your life; if you want a pipe, go buy you one for two bits. I'm going to keep this pipe as a souvenir of all my foolishness."
Soon his room mate returned smoking a meerschaum that was flogging
This was about five-thirty o'clock in the afternoon. After dinner, the reformed man instead of taking his usual after-dinner smooch down beside a stack of tools to spend in the way it should be spent.
"Man, this old engine of mine is going like she had just had her fuses cleaned," he said as he exhaled dense tobacco fumes all about the studious man; "better steam up, boy, and be sociable."
"Aw, you go chase yourself," snarled his companion. "Can't you leave a fellow in peace when he is trying to live a decent life?"
"Gosh, you are grouchy!"
the boss. The man who had sworn off only frowned, and went on with his reading. He had, however, laid in a supply of gum, which he chewed like an eight-dollar a week stenographer for the remainder of the evening.
He retired early.
The next day, it seemed that every man he met offered him a smoke, but he stuck by his resolution with the Spartan. He spoke to him a few days, however, he had quarrels with two of his best friends; he was touchy and restless; he could not concentrate his mind upon anything. He took a long walk, ate supper, and returned to
When the fellows came in from supper, they found all the good resolutions going up in a cloud of smoke from a well-seasoned briar.
"Laugh, you idiots!" said the reformed man as his friends with broad grins gathered about him. "I did not intend to quit, anyway. I only wanted to hear you guys use. Besides, what's the use of living if you have to feel as I have felt for the last twenty-four hours?"
Lady: "Is this a camel's hair brush?"

New Clerk: "Naw; what do you think I am? Camels don't brush their hair."—Widow.

A leaky radiator in Room 102, Medic Building, caused a flood of water in the Kansan office directly below at 9:15 o'clock last night. Several students who had attended the meeting of the Associated Journalism students were in the Kansan office and rescued the typewriters and tables from the stream of hot water. The damage was not extensive.
