SUNDAY, MAY 11. 1924 115A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Official student paper of the University o Editor-in-Chief Helen Seot Associate Editor Frances Eileen Wright Sunday Editor Katheryn Stu Sport Editor Murrell Slosso Sunday Stag Mildred Jarrett Mont Clair Spear Merrill Shawson Eva Drumm Floyd McComb Helen Clute Houmann Manfred John Monfroemarre J1 Phones—K, U. 25 and 66 Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Louisville, Kansas The Daily Karen warns to picture the undergraduate life as more intense than usual. In order to make up for the news by standing for the college degree, she must be able to be calm; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be curious; to be more serious problems in other hands; to all serve to the best of her abilities and to help her build a solid foundation. MOTHER SUNDAY, MAY 11, 1924 Clarice will wash windows for Dad's day and Mother's day, but she declares she'll quit if they ever start a Little Brother's day. Thousands of poems and songs have been written and sung honoring Mother. Statesmen and men of high rank in all nations have made speeches praising Mother and telling what mothers mean in the world. Thousands of endearing words have attempted to describe Mother. But all these have failed to express the feeling held toward mothers—and why? Because the name Mother is self-affirmant and in itself carries all of the meaning the word has to individuals, to the nation and to the world. DUST OUT THE COBWEBS The following notice posted at a street corner in Girard needs no comment—"I have been instructed by Mayor Gait-skill to enforce the ordinance against chickens running in large and riding bicycles on the sidewalks—City Marshal." Another clean-up week has passed, and alleys, backyards and vacant lots have taken on a neater appearance. Each year this week is set aside, but the minds of people do not seem to be any cleaner. They still gossip and revel in scandal. They tell tales concerning the doings of their neighbors, some of which they know to be truth but most of which is suspect. 'Isn't it about time the nation had a clean-up week for the minds of its people and attempted to clear away some of the cob-webs of ancestor-worship and reverence for status quo, so that the brains of the people will have room to function and each person think for himself? Reformers of all kinds still clung to the time worn phrases, the citizens of the nation to old ideas of government, such as their great-grandfathers believed was the best thing for the country. Yes, Panity, it is true that convicts and students are the only ones, according to the Kanan style book, who cannot be called "Mr." A mother for whom Kansas boa- her head in reverence has died. The mother is Mrs. Mary A. White, whose son is William Allen White of Emperia. A KANSAS MOTHER She has given to Kansas and furthermore to the world a son whose energies and ability have been expanded for the advancement of his community; for the brotherhood of man. She has reared a son and has instituted in him the ideals of a real Kansan, a real American. Her work she has done well. Her life has been full of the best that a mother could desire—a worthy so of a good name. A Louisiana hangman wears a mask to conceal his identity. There's a good tip for profs who give murderous finals. Kansas today mourns a benicidion of gratefulness for such a wo man. Wits it a tribute to the 70-year-old man executed in Kentucky Friday that the electric chair was made to resemble an old-fashioned Grandfather's chair? We suppose the linetypes run merrily on while the Kansas editors hold their annual golf tournament. WHAT IS SHE TO DO? As Celia Cooney, the girl bandit, entered the gates of Auburn prison yesterday she advised the mothers of America to keep their girls out of the dance halls, and know where they are at night. She declared that these two things are all that are necessary to see a girl straight. In the same day, Miss Helen Gwynne, of Indianapolis, retiring president of the W. Y. C. A.'s national industrial assembly, told three thousand factory girls to "wear gaudy clothes, be aggressive, and catch your man." She declared that the "demure, submissive working girl does not get very far in factories or in matrimony." Now, what are the girls to do? Very few people are wholly content with their lot in life until they have a garage on it. INTERESTED? YES! INTERESTED? YES! Several colleges throughout the country have been holding "sacrifice weeks" in order to raise funds for the support of the international student relief work. In many instances the students have worked voluntarily in order to earn the money for their contributions. In one academy a full holiday was declared for this purpose, and in fashionable finishing schools the girls have engaged in a variety of occupations from shining shoes to making hats and painting pictures—all for the sake of students in other hands. Truly it can be said that such actions are elegant. When the leaders of this movement were trying to get the students to support the relief enterprise they did not stress the privation and suffering of students abroad, but rather the constructive achievements of the work, and its significance as the first wide-student co-operative undertaking. This would seem to be conclusive proof that students are interested in constructive internationalism, even though they do not designate it by that term. Yes, the students of American college are interested in international affairs. Youth is interested in the world—exclusively so. Precisely the rein lies the great opportunity for educators—to consolidate that intensive interest, and so ground it upon the bedrock of philosophical, political, economic, social and moral truth as to make it an invincible power in the development and promotion of international thought and action. It's a lonesome world for pawn brokers. Found in a Book "B.fore we can bring happiness to others, we first must be happy ourselves; nor will happiness abide within ourselves unless we confer it on others. If there be a smile upon our lips, those around us will soon smile too; and our happiness will become truer and deeper as we see that these others are happy. 'It is not seemingly that I, who willingly, have wrought sorrow to none, should permit myself to be sad,' said Marcus Aurelius in one of his honest passages. But we are not sadden ourselves, and learning to sadden others, if we refuse to accept all the happiness offered to man."—Maurice Materlinck. Waldo Bowman, e25, attended the Kansas-Washington baseball game in St. Louis last month, and spent the evening with some of the men. Bowman is working for a construction company of Chicago and at at acting as a mentor on a construction job in East Portland II. On Other Hills Martin E. *larvis*, 1923, was in Lawrence Wednesday and Thursday of this week. He had a case in the district court at *Topola* last week and stopped over in Lawrence to pay a short visit with some of his old friends. Jarvis is located at Winfield, practicing law. In a recent Ties Padlock writes of Hoff, a Seasanindian, as the greatest pole-vaulter in the history of the sport. The ability of this man, who now seems to have this event cinched in the Olympic games, deserves recognition. He has set a world's record in the vault Official Daily University Bulletin ALL UNIVERSITY 100.105.104 There will be a Student Honor conventon on Monday, May 12, at 10 morning.
