Homesick Barometer in Library Shows Plainly When Loneliness Is Greatest in Students' Minds
Year after year the stream of students from all corners of the state pour into the University of Kansas and all of them seem to suffer home schooling. The university's barometer of homeiness in Watson library that tells library attendees about how much the students are thinking of the people at home. From Watson library, Waverly, from Goodland to Oliphart, have visited weekly or semi-weekly papers come to Watson library each week. Not only the homeschick, but the curious and even the bluest student often take this into touch in touch with their home community.
It is through the efforts of John G. Sturs of the Municipal Reference bureau that the papers are available for distribution, and that the paper of the reference bureau it is necessary to keep in touch with the activities in hundreds of town in Kansas and the newspaper furnishes this means. Mr. Sturs requests that the papers sent first to the Library.

Baltimore, Md. May 31, 25—The expression, "As common as Smith Brown and Jones," is not based upon scientific investigation, but it is a close approach to the facts, according Howard F. Barker, of Riveride, Md.
The three most popular surmises of America are, Smith, Johnson, and Brown, according to Mr. Barker, who has worked for the agency's frequency of surrences.

The freshman use the papers the most, according to library attendants and especially during the first few weeks of school. In fact, the freshman will try to find his home paper the next day, but the library library attendant if the desired paper is not there. The freshman glances with懵意 with retention at the attender who admits, he does not know where the paper is or that he did not receive it. The year student gets to get a big kick out of reading in the weekly "Trumpet," or "Clarion" as the case may be, that "John Jones left this week to enroll in the University of Kansas." He asks of our vicinity and we trust—"
Certain cities show peculiarities of their own. The name Johnson leads in St. Louis and Minnesota, for instance, by virtue of being a favorite name among Scandinavian-Americans. Smith leads in New York City with
But it is not only the much talked of freshman who uses the home town papers. If you happen to be in the periodical room of Watson library some morning just watch the number of dignified upperclassmen who search remote corners for their home town paper. Even a senior can be caught reading and recounting in the Sweet Home Journal's "Gazoot" that "Miss Nelle Smith from K. U. visited home folks last week end."

There are more Smiths and Johnsons in the United States than there are people in Detroit, Mr. Brower's investigation showed. The Browns are so short of making a city the size of Boston. The Willimans total somewhat more, the Joneses somewhat less; than the population of Los Angeles; than the population of Manhattan of Pittsburgh; and the Dacota will fill San Francisco or Buffalo.
