TELL-TALE FIGURES
TUESDAY, JAN. 27, 1920
There is nothing like a final quiz to bring out the true standing of a prof—or a student, either.
A survey recently taken of the salaries of teachers in the public and high schools of Kansas City, Mo., shows very clearly the state of affairs in the teaching profession, and explains why so many good, brainy men and women who had risen to the upper circle as instructors in our universities and schools have now gone into the business and industrial worlds where they can make enough money to support themselves decently.
According to the Kansas City survey, the teaching profession is on the same level with the cardiobarriers and teammates, as far as the money goes, and that holdermakers, mechanics, brick-layers, painters and lainers, in fact almost the entire class of trained laborers, are better paid than the average teacher in the public and high schools of Kansas City.
The same thing is true all over the country. There is no poorer paid profession in existence than that of the teacher and men and women are now almost afraid to take up teaching as a profession for fear they will not be able to make a living.
Here on Mount Oread, the real significance of the problem is more than ever threat before our eyes, when every year the cream of the faculty talent rushes into the business world, where there is money to be had. K. U. has lost professors, and good ones, too, by the score because of poor salaries. It is only natural that if a person making a bare living in Lawrence can go out into the world and double or triple his salary right on the jump he will do it without hesitation.
TO INCREASE INTEREST
TO INCREASE INTEREST
Fraternity basketball has begun and the various Hash House leagues are also being formed. What is the meaning of these basketball games to the University of Kansas? To give the men who do not make the Varsity squads a chance to play is one of the purposes. To develop athletes for the University; to make full
useof the gym and its equipment that was put there for the students. But the principal reason is this: To create enthusiasm for basket ball and get all of the students interested in the game.
At present interest in the indoor game is like warm, but with more than 300 men playing the game every week, the students should pick up an active interest in the sport. It isn't because basketball is not a good game. It is as interesting and exciting as football, with all its thrills. As
those who saw the Missouri games. It is simply because the students react after the football season, and feel that the pop season is over until next fall.
The University of Kansas must do more than play football. It must also play basketball, baseball, and participate in track. And the only way to Put K. U. First in these various sports is to get out and support them. With interest coming in from the various fraternity games, Director Allen feels that the basketball game will come into its own. All the students need is to be enlightened.
"Given a fair chance, the framers and backers of the Industrial Court law believe it will work out."—Governor Allen.
CRASH OR ECONOMY?
The United States is rushing along a precipice. In a vague general way the public knows of the precipice ahead and of the abyss below, yet no thought has been taken to stop the terrific pace.
The utter disregard of the proper relation between value and price, the continual upward trend of prices the abnormal extension of credit; no conservative economist can believe it possible that these can long continue without bringing on a financial crisis or a panic.
Strict economy and the curtailment of credit are the brakes to be applied. History affords numerous examples of the depressing and disastrous results following just such financial expansions. Many a seemingly rational person will admit the truth of the above and then go immediately to his banker and borrow money to buy another car.
THE THREE-LEGGED PROPHET
The noji board is causing considerable disturbance in several eastern universities, particularly at Michigan and at Cornell, according to reports, and has resulted in several students being sent home to recuperate from nervous breakdown and more recently being placed in the "warmed" list, to be sent home for the least possible cause.
Outaij has not caused merely a small disturbance, confined to the limits of the Universities of Michigan and Cornell, or of Ann Arbor and Ithaca, either. Column editorials and considerable space in the news columns has been given to the disturbances caused, by this peculiar three-logged board, in the New York papers, the Times and the Tribune giving it particular mention.
It is a deplorable state of affairst when such a trinket as a oujja, manufactured out of wood (the kind does.n't make any difference to oujja) for commercial purposes, can cause such a shakeup in the student bodies of two of the largest universities in the country. It is evidently only the most rabid spiritualists who can place enough faith in the action and prophecies of oujja and the power of the board to connect one with the spirits to get "kicked out" of school.
Luckily, ouija has not yet caused any disturbances at the University of Kanas and it is to be hoped that the little three-legged trouble-maker will keep clear of Mount Oread.

Campus Opinion
I noticed a communication in the Kannan last week from Warren Pearson asking where $r_e$ money went which the students pay in to the college for information.
Editor Kansan:-
tion neatly and accurately compiled in the way of a budget for the 1920 Jayhawker. The budget is in the Jayhawker office at all times and available for the approval of any student or faculty member of the University. If Pearson were to request interested receipts will be shown for more than half of the expenditures of this year's book already. Edgar L. Hollis, Mgr.
HOW PRYAMIDS WERE BUILT
Much of mystery has always over-
lived the Great Pyramid — a structure
that was used to store food in a
serving basket when no machinery
is in a primitive archeon when no machinery
was available, must, it is asserted,
have been accomplished by the use of
mechanical powers now unknown.
The Pyramid of Cheops—the only one that remains of the famous seven wonders of the world—is the largest work of man's hands on the globe. The pyramid has fourteen acres and contains 85 million cubic feet of solid masonry.
But the mystery in relation to it has been swept away by recent scientific inquiry. In these days, helped by modern machinery, one-length as in a car can be duplicated in less than half the number of years.
The Great Pyramid is on the west bank of the Nile, across the river from Cairo. Ten miles further upstream, near the east bank, are the quarries of Turra, which yield to this day a fine white limestone highly suitable for building purposes. It was from the quarries that the herds were cut, to be there upon loaded on rafts and floated down the river.
Lacking better means the quarry-men got out the blocks by cutting deep grooves in the rock, inserting big wooden pegs at short intervals and pouring water upon the pugs, the swolling of which split the limestone in pieces that will not deft dealt with effectively by this means; with limestone it was easy.
The blocks weighed from ten to twenty tons apiece. On each of them projections, or "legs," were left for the attachment of ropes. Man-powered saws made big pieces of cut stone overland and the first thing necessary was to load the block upon a sled, with the help of rollers. Then it could be dragged along by hundreds of toilers who would hoist the blocks "boosted" from behind by levers.
Transported by this means to the river bank, the stone block was pulsed and pushed upon a raft, which floated it down the Nile ten miles to the place of debarkation. There it was hauled off the raft, loaded again up on a sled and conveyed, in the same as before, to the site of the pyramid.
It is believed likely the work of cutting and shaping the blocks was carried on while they were actually in transit by the workmen, who, perched upon them, could use their tools to excellent advantage, pecking with stone hammers, chopping with chisel of fire-hardened bronze, and giving a final polish, with smooth and sandy incidental to those operations they could get rid of enough weight to compensate for the extra load which they themselves made and a great deal of time was used.
It was a royal tomb in which Cheops himself was doubtless laid to rest. Of its chambers, below the level of the Nile, contains an empty sarcophagus which probably once held that monarch's mummy. But the chambers have been riffed repeatedly in centuries gone by.
It is estimated about thirty years were required to build the Great Pyramid.-Kansas City Star.
Black cats for luck—that is an old and equally modern superstition. And yet it is a somewhat personal superstition, too. for there are those who claim black cats have always foreseen the storm to take new work and a black cat should cross your path you will be lucky in your undertaking. The "meewing" of a black cat at midnight just as the clock strikes 12, is however, a very bad omen, and one which goes death—so the superstition goes.
BLACK CATS FOR LUCK
The cat must be really black, with no admixture of color, not even a angle hair. A woman who recently lost her hearing was blinded, mistreated, but he was perfectly black."
There seem to be no reason why, from time immemorial, black cats have been accounted lucky. In Egypt cats are known as "fairy cats," and Archaeologists frequently found them in tombs of kings and princes. Australians have a curious legend about cats. Mityaro, the moon, they say, was a native cat who loved cats and would sneak into houses since. To them a cat, black, gray, or white, prophiles only bad luck.

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
In Japan and China a black cat is regarded as an extremely dangerous demon, often possessing as many as two or three forked tails and having the ability to leap through air in an old woman. The Chinese believe a cat will leap in or walk over a corpse causing the cops to rise up at once. Any person passing through the room may be taken away by the corpse when in that state and would be immediately killed.
