The effectiveness of the antitoxin can be determined only after it has been threw. Only then will the people of Nome know the probable fate of their city. That test will determine whether or not the long musk poison terrifies with its attentions and suffering has been in vain. To the reader, Northern tales seem often wiltly overdrawn. To an with our comfortable existence the story of privation and peril appears unreal and far removed from actual happening. But the Nome incident, with its tragic elements, almost mocks at a plain recital. Indeed, "truth is stranger than fiction." Westerday we saw two small gran- chool school misses sliding along in wide shots, flapping gullies. But they were unmanned for wearing hats. One professor, when a student requested his term grade, replied empathetically that he hadn't yet graded quite papers "banded in before Thanksgiving." With equal rights to all, why not allow his students to take first semester finals, "some time before Easter." THE WEALTH OF KANSAS It's a hard question to be decided nowadays. Did we have more fun samsung when we were kids, or in the present present silent alternation? The best is none too good for Kansas, the state that can proudly say, "Kansas grows the best wheat in the world," yet the most important crop of Kansas as Dr. Lindley has pointed out, is not its wheat—it is its meat. The best investment of the wealth of the state is in the education of its future citizens. The best in most things is not too expensive for the Kannan citizen. He lives in comfortable homes, wears good clothing, drives big automobile travel sometimes, and enjoys the best amusements that the middle west affords. When it comes to education, however, comparative figures based on the report of the Federal Bureau of Education indicate that the Kannan is content to satisfy himself with less than his neighbors. In eight较难 universities the average salary paid is from about nine to twenty-one per cent higher than at the University of Kansas. Or Mr. Oren are some professors notable in their fields of work and remarkable teachers of youth, but it is neither reasonable nor just to expect that they will remain when other universities offer more in the way of financial returns. To fill vacancies with the 'best' that Kansas wants for her youth is equally unreasonable to expect under present conditions. Revision of the salary budget is therefore one of the first things to be hoped for now because a university, no matter how well equipped as to plant and buildings, cannot give its best service unless it has a suitable faculty corps. Depression of business has made the state suffer, and the university with it. May prosperity of the state be reflected by n renewal of the advancement of the university. --fusion would be thrown into greater confusion by the thoughtless tangle of the students. Students could be more curried in their handling of books, in order that the confusion might not be increased. All these things might help. From the compilation of the K. U.

Though no one wants them, every one has them. It is their commonness which detracts from their popularity. Nothing is more unmanageable than a cold. It is not unusual enough to cause a severe cough that must be to an annoyable illness. It would be ridiculous to go to the hospital with "only a cold" and expect flowers and callers. In fact, it is impossible to be delightfully ill with a cold. One is sure to have a crimson rose, keeping eyes, and a crimson nail of which skin appears of an otherwise clean invulnerable. When one has a cold, he must be content to go around feeling like a combination of a chronic asthmatic, dyspneptic and rheumatic, and worse luck, he must expect neither sympathy nor consideration, for he has "only a cold." One who has many colds must frequently long for a respectable disease, one which the public considers worthy of nurses, flowers, fruits, cards, cailers, and such. Something like double pneumonia sounds sufficiently important and romantic. Think of the show of satisfaction one would feel when announcing to a caller in a week voice: "It is only double pneumonia." Such is the fortune, however, of a victim of colds. Discomfort, he suffers much; satisfaction, he knows little. Most disheartening of all is the fact that no one was ever known to die from "only a cold." CLOSED DOORS Something ought to be done about it. But what? Behind the closed doors of Watson library are thousands of book friend whose acquaintance the students will never make—thousands of books which the students will not recognize even virtually. Memories that could have been filled with rainy afternoons spent in a slow search among the stocks, and the diary of the one never to be forgotten friend, will be filled instead with remembrance of long lines waiting patiently for books, of frenzied search through a card index, and of a hasty speculation of what printed descriptions might imply. At present only graduate students are allowed behind the closed doors which shelter the books previously allowed to tuniers and seniors. Card indexes name the books that are behind the closed doors, but the feeling is—"I want to see the goods themselves. I want to handle and compare. I want to find just the article suited to me—and I can't get this through a printed description." Perhaps never again will students be so near an accumulation of book wealth. And yet, for all that it influences their daily lives, the doors might be looked as well as closed. References are given. The student duly asks and receives them by writing a letter or telephone-seeking and choosing his own reading—that in manifestly impossible. And what shall be done about it? The fault is not all the library's. Appropriations are needed to provide shelves on which to place books that now merely are stored. Money is required to pay for additional help that might serve to ally the confinement which now exists in the gandling of the books.

Meanwhile the student fingers the books piled on the clocking table, and ruminates sadly that a book in the book, with a finish in a card index. Boston University professors attented the game with Harvard less reason than compulsion. President L. H. Martin warned the faculty that the number would be taken, and that more would have their salaries decided.

BULLENE'S What Was "Robin Hood's Barn" NIGH on to a thousand years ago, wealthy wayfarers learned to choose some roundabout route into Nottingham, rather than the short cut that led straight through Sherwood forest. For the forest was "Robin Hood's barn"—and doughty Robin and his merry men were eager coin collectors. People who buy without regard to advertising nowadays journey at high cost in roundabout ways, to make their purchases where dollars are dubious. For the shrewd buyer of anything, in our times, sends his money to market the straight, sure way, guided by advertising. What is not advertised may be worth buying. But what is advertised simply must be beyond question. He would be a foolhardy merchant, or a reckless manufacturer, who dared publicity for anything questionable. All the risk these days is in going 'round Robin Hood's barn. Buying on the strength of the advertised promise is the way to buy with least risk of disappointment and greatest certainty of satisfaction. X MAKE USE OF THE ADVERTISEMENTS!
