Tales Out c' School
Mary McClure (with great display of new'y acquired knowledge): "D) you know, girls, that if a man gets a divorce from his wife here in Kansas, and then goes to Massachusetts, and he can be arrested for burglary?"
Calls Raymond Robins
The height of intelligent criticism has been reached. One girl declared yesterday that she did "like Ray Bannister." He said, "He don't" instead of "he doesn't."
Ernest Arnold, junior Engineer, who lives at 1247 Kentucky, was so excited Sunday afternoon by the passing of the Lawrence fire auto that he rushed into the street losing his house slippers on the way. When the "smoke" had cleared he found the new interior all laughing at him and decided duly dwelled upon him that there were holes as big as a dollar in his socks. "Darum 'em," he explained, as he disappeared into the house with a slipper in each hand.

Two horses which belong to the University have made themselves very unpopular with Zetha Hammer. Miss Hammer comes to her 1:30 class via the car tracks back of Blake Hall. The other day she was running up the rails and making excellent time when a vagrant puff of wind came alone and disturbed her book in the air. she waved her note back in the air to request noise, the horses who settled to the rail back of the Medical Building, caught sight of her contortion and started such a noise that Miss Hammer says it looked as though they were giving her the equine laugh.
Jo Berwick, the red-coated cheerleader of the University, used to room at the Babb house at 1334 Ohio, and the othe rday he determined to pay a visit to his former residence. Jo wandered down to the old house, entered and made his way to his former room, planning what to feel the men who were around him year. Much to his surprise his entrance was greeted by suppressed shriks and giggles—women are rooming at the Babb house this year.
Aw, Jo

Was Sure It Was There
Bess Ulrich, sophomore. College who is one of the members in the Kansan office, came up to the desk this week and in a very worried tone of voice, askd one of the editors, "Please, would it bother you too much to ask you to help me find the Q on my typewriter? I am sure it is there, but it has escaped me, and I can't find it anywhere."
Vera Blackburn is of the opinion that students in the University are butchers of the English language. Miss Blackburn was in Rowland's book store, the other being a teacher. Some four or five students were in front of her and she vows that each one said, "have you got—?"
This is a Real Drug Store P. L. Dyer, who withdrew from the School of Engineering at the end of last semester, is working in the Owl Drug Store at Winfield.

Martha Taylor, college, sorority
College, she stopped down to pet a puppy in Fraser Hall. The puppy was very loving. He snuggled against her contentedly, wiggling all over with gratitude for the attention paid him
Pretty soon he stuck out his soft pink
tongue and gently licked the hand
that was stroking him .
UNIVERSITY WOMEN ARE BUSY WITH Y. W. WORK
Support Missionary, Play Big Sister, Run Employment Bureau
The Young Women's Christian Association, with its active membership of 330 women, is an important factor in the religious life of many students filled more than in any other phase of University Life. The weekly Tuesday afternoon meetings, open to all, while primarily religious are always preceded by a period of time with the university, special attention being paid to getting acquainted with new and strange girls.
Supports Missionary in China
Besides the meetings purely religious work is done in the Haskell Bible classes, held every week, and taught by University women members of the Y. W. Bible study committee. Clubs have been formed to teach women how to organize classes and carry on work during the summer in country districts of North America such organiza- tion as the association at K. U. is now by voluntary subscription helping support a field secretary in China.
Big Sisters to Strangers
Miss Ann Gittins, general secretary of the Y. W., is at the head of a women's employment bureau, which obtains work for many who are putting themselves through college. To the Y. W. belongs credit for starting the Big Sister movement last fall at KU by which each freshman on campus the University has helped under the care of some upperclass woman who volunteers to try to be a real big sister to this little sister throughout the year.
This year the Y. M. and Y. W. have joined forces in giving each month a big joint party usually in the Gymnasium to which everybody is invited. Special stunts are planned, good refreshments provided and the parties have thus far proved to be a great success. Just now the Y. W. is planning its energies and planning of the management of which is entirely in its hands and the proceeds of which go to the association treasury.
BOYS OUTRANK GIRLS
Experiments Show That Male is 5 Per Cent More Efficient
Experts in psychology are watching with interest an experiment to determine the mental status of boys and girls of the same age at the Friends' select school, 140 North Sixteenth street. Philadelphia.
A test of general knowledge and observation, given without preparation, has just been completed, and shows that of 150 pupils of five this schools and four others there 5 per cent higher than the girls. The result is a duplicate of a similar test last year and shows the same ratio of failure of girls through the grades to the highest average, 81; the fact the highest average, 81, was scored by Margaret Stanyon, 2 per cent higher than the highest boy's average.
Education to Blame
It looks bad for the female of the species, yet leading psychologists lay the blame not on the sex, but the scheme of education, and assert a different method is needed to observe observation. Writer W principal of the school, adds that girls lack not intelligence, but interest in current events.
"Some of our best girl students failed," said Dr. Draviland. "Generally at this age, the girl is the best scholar from an academic point of view, but the boys read the newspapers more often."
Some Hard Questions
It was a stern test, and included such brain-racking questions as: What are emergency directions for a severed artery? Name some portant fact and the foot of Fritz Kreisler, and the foot and mouth dissection. The questions on which all scholars met their Waterloo were: Why does a stick float? When do farmers in Pennsylvania wheat? What did the difference between anthracite and bituminous coal? And how much is 0 divided by 1?
"No, no, puppy," said Martha, firm with withdrawal, said hands. You could out in front of him, but he cold pretty soon, and my hands would get all chapped."
Pi Gamma Sigma, honorary educational sorority, announces the following pledges: Medaline Ashton, Lawrence, junior College, and Vanetta B Hostord, Lawrence, junior College.
Earl Potter, A. B. '13, is visiting at the Pi Upallon house. Potter attended Columbia University during the fall semester.

MOTT TALKS ON WAR BEFORE RECORD CROWD
(Continued from page 1)
"Ambassador Page at London said to me, 'Mott, you will not find a selfish man in Europe.' It was true. There is a new Europe. The people of Holland have taken in many immigrants from Belgium. In some of the there are more fugitives than Dutch. Eight or nine thousand refugees are sent to England each day. The Protestant university of Cambridge is sharing its interest in the history of Louvain. The United States has not begun to do its share.
"The adverse effects, of course, are many. The strong European nations are being depleted. This war does not stop. Fighting goes on all the time. There have been more days of actual fighting already than in any other war of history. Officers, university men, students, the most in the land, are being downed by thousands. The good works of the world have been stopped. It would take an hour just to enumerate these movements that have suffered. This war is confusing the faith of superficial Christians everywhere. They do not distinguish between true Christianity and Eurocraticism, which are very different. The war has international unity, in religious matters. It contravenes the example, spirit, and principles of Jesus. But the favoring considerations of its effects far transcend its adverse effects."
WANTS SIMPLIFIED SPELLING
University of Minnesota Favora
Fewer Word Formations
The University of Minnesota has appointed a special committee of the senate to consider the advisability of adopting a system of simplifying through integration of the University, integrating official publications and classroom work. Resolutions have been submitted to the effect that such words as programme, medieval, centre, catalogue, et cetera, program, catalogue, et cetera, catalogue, similar steps have been taken.
Similar steps have been taken in Michigan and Colorado.
