BEN JONSON ADVISES WRITERS
Tells Novices How to Achieve Good Style
Subscribe for the DAILY KANSAN
From the Christian Science Monitor,
Ben Jonson, dramatist wrote a small prose book called "Discus-
tion," which appears on Poetry and Eloquence, the style of which is very close and pure. In it he gives these directions for writing well:
"For a man to write well, there are three necessities: to read the best authors; observe the best speakers; and much exercise of his own style. In style to consider what ought to be written, and after what manner; he must first think, and exegitate his matter, then choose his words and examine the weight of either. The take care in placing and combining both matter and words; but the composition be more precise and to do this with pleasure and often. No matter how slow the style is at first, so it be labored and accurate; seek the best, and be not glad of the forward conceits, or first words that offer themselves to us, but judge of what we invent and order what we approve."

RUSSIAN STAMPS FOR ORPHANS
Government Sells Them to Raise Re Ref Money
From the New York Sun.
From the New York State The Imperial Russian Patriotic Society of Petrograd announced that the society has retained a temporary issue of panic postage stamps by the Soviet Government in order to help the urgent need of help for the families of Russian soldiers killed on the battle field.
These new stamps, are of values of 1, 3, 7, and 10 kopeks (a kopek is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ cent) and are much larger and of different design than the regular issues. The stamps are printed in two colors for every issue of ordinary postal stamps in carrying mail matter and are offered for sale at all Russian post offices at an increase of one kopeko over the face value of the stamp.

PLAYERS GET INDIFFERENT
Baseball Man Says Long Term Contracts Hurt the Game
From the New York Times.
John Montgomery earned the former Giant steward and until retired as the Federal League, stated yesterday that the one feature of modern baseball which was working more injury than any other feature was the long-term contract, which was, he asserted, response. For mediocre players who star last season, it was also established an atmosphere of indifference among the players who have been engaged for two or three seasons.
Baseball Players Need Inspiration
"Baseball," says Mr. Ward, "is a very distinct calling; it is entirely different than anything else. Essentially, it is play for the participants, and for a player to do his must have inspiration. It is inspiration and unbounded enthusiasm which enables a player to make some phenomaniac plays. If it were not for inspiration these star players would never become keyed up to unusual performances.
"Theforee, when a player gets long-term contract, say for three years, as many men received in the big league last season that he kept him up to playing his best. I do not mean to say that they quit, but with the future insured and with no incentive to work up their 'enthusiasm' the player plays well easily and is not measured up to the standard they are capable of."
Victress
"Madam," said the man in the street-car, "I know I ought to get up and give you my seat, but unfortunally I've recently joined the Sit Still
"That's all right, sir," replied the woman. "And you must excuse me for staring at you so hard: I am a member of the Stand and Stare Club." She proved herself so active and conscientious a member that the man began to look under her. Finally he arose and said: "Take my seat, madam; I guess I'll resign from my club and join yours." — Boston Transcript.
