TURNER WATCHED RIPPLES
Dropped Pebbles All Day to See How Waves on Lake Looked
C. S. Monitor.
C. S. Monniar.
The story is told of Turner, the great English landscape painter, that when out with a company of his fellow students one day he spent the whole day sitting upon a rock and
throwing pebbles into a lake. When evening came his companions showed him the sketches they had made and taunted him with having done nothing. "I have done this, at least," he replied. "I am going to be more when pebbles are thrown into it." No artist in England could maint ripples as Turner painted them

POE ONLY AN ARTIST
W. C. Brownnell Says His Work Lacks Substance
C. S. Monitor.
In the very face of that opinion which would make Edgar Allan Poe one of the few if not the very greatest of American literary artists, one American critic, W. C. Brownell, comes fatly out with the following statement: "The truth is it is idle to create a great writer for Poe because whatever his merits as a literary artist his writings lack the elements not only of great, but of real, literature. They lack substance. Literature is more than an art. It is art in an extended sense of the term. Since it is the art that deals with fiction, it is the art par excellence, that is art plus something else—plus substance. Its interest is immensely narrowed when it can only be considered plastically—narrowed to the point of inanity, of insignificance. Poe was certainly an artist, but the fact that he was excused from consideration extremely restricted sense, of itself minimizes the literature he produced."

Tales Out o' School
Blair Hackney, business manager of the 1916 Jayhawker, is growing a mustache. A Kansan reporter saw him yesterday.
'Hi, Hack, he said, "are you growing one of those things, too?"
"Come on down to Lee's and I'll buy you a drink," responded the general annual man. "I set 'em up to everybody who recognizes it."
Louis La Coss, a former editor of the Kansan, and at present editor of "Tavern Talk," a hotel publication in Kansas City, was the guest of friends in Lawrence during the past week end.
That there is nothing so sad as a joke gone wrong, is the opinion of Charles Kietzman, sophomore engineer, living at 1247 Kentucky. Kietzman's sadness is tinged with peevishness. One of the men living at 1247 Kentucky street had a grievance against Vernon Bowersock, a junior for his high school a full grown Big Ben clock under Bowersock's bed, with the alarm set for 3 o'clock. When the infernal machine went off, Bowersock slept through the clatter. However, Charles Kietzman, the innocent room mate, was started from his peaceful slumbers by the racket, and around him was a box of matches and ten minutes in finding the clock, which by that time had gone off to sleep itself.
K. U's Champion Sleener
Booze Busenbark, president of Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic fraternity, spent the past week end in Kansas City, making arrangements for the fraternity's Founders' day banquet, which will be held at the Hotel Sexton on the evening of March 12. The Sour Owl detective says that he believes Booze had to borrow money from Harlan Thompson, an old K. U. man who is now writing feature stuff on the Star, to get home on.
W. B. Brown, superintendent of the department of journalism press, was trying to explain to a class of newspaper students just how it was that 72 points made an inch, accorded with standard printer's measurements.
"Gee!" exclaimed one of the embryonic editors, "a man would have to be a walking multiplication table in the back office, wouldn't he?"
The Sour Owl detective reports that the members of the Lawrence police force do not need vaccinating, so they catch anything, anyhow," he explains.
Helen's Opinion
Helen Harrington, junior College, thinks that Prof. H. F. Harrington, of the department of journalism, doesn't know how to treat a lady. This is how it came about. In journalism class the other day, Professor Harrington asked Miss Herbershgerow how she would go about it to get the news of a fire in a distant part of town, late at night, after the cars had quit running. "Volt," she replied, "I suppose I'd have to call a police officer and the thing, but personally, Mr. Harrington, I don't think that any editor who was a gentleman would make a girl go to a fire at such a time in the night."
Sam Fainchild and Cupid Haddock who were in school two years ago, were week-end visitors at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter house.

He is a charter member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at the University. Mr. and Mrs. Francis will live in Cherryville where Mr. Francis is in the automobile business.

Christianity is growth through service."
The meeting last night was primarily to suggest opportunities to the girls for practical means of service in the church and in the city. Rev. Stanton Olinger will apply the principle Christ in the church, "Go to church in an active, in a passive spirit," said Rev Olinger.
Work Here for Women
"Religion is not worth while unless expressed in service," declared Fred H. Rindge "There are many opportunities for service right here in Lawrence. There is a chance to girls to go to the factory girls during their noon hour. There is work to be done in teaching the Mexican women of the

"I can give opportunity for service to all college girls who truly wish it," said Miss Newschwanger, visiting nurse of the city. "We are trying to organize a mother's club to teach sanitation and proper care of children in high school. We too high death rate of Kansas. The mothers can't come unless there is someone to take care of the children at home. Why can't you girls do that? There is great need for kindergarten work, playground work, reading class, church classes. Fresh air classes must be formed for the prevention and cure of tuberculosis in Lawrentee. There is work for everyone."
Any woman who would like to engage in any of the social service work spoken of above may give her named and the sort of work she is most interested in to Miss Anne Gittie, secretary of the Y. W. C. A.
