BACK TO LIFE
THURSDAY, JAN. 8, 1920
Dormant for the last two or three years, the "K" Club is awakening from its lethargy. Casting aside the aptity which has been its chief characteristic for two years, it springs into prominence by the announcement that the "K" men of the University are to recognize the club and make it a factor in school activities. The first meeting was held last night.
Among the things which the club will sponsor are the Million Dollar Drive and the Loyalty Campaign. A student coaching system will also be taken up by the organization, which will, undoubtedly, result in better athletic teams representing the University.
There is no doubt but that the "K" Club will have the opportunity to, and will, do much good for the University. Its membership is composed of men who have earned their letter in at least one branch of athletics. They are men who have gone out on the athletic fields and given their best to their Alma Mater. Clean, true sportsmen, all of them, they underwent many privations, endured many hardships, that they might bring glory to their University.
With all these organizations working harmoniously with one aim in view—a bigger and better University —failure cannot come to any of their plans.
Not all the slipping on the Hill these days is due to the snow. Some students feel themselves going down hill in their grades, and it isn't far to Quiz Week at the bottom.
THE FASCINATOR
Do you remember that wool fascinator that your mother used to erudite insist that you wrap around your head and neck, hindering sight and hearing, and making you feel more or less like an unstable angora goat? It didn't make any difference whether you were a small girl or a small boy you wore the cold-preventing, life-saving fascinator, bitter opponent if the ever attacking pneumonia germ. You never had one on but that you spent most of the time wishing for the speedy return of the good old summer time.
But now they are among the most prominent decorative articles that we see. The fascinator has returned among us. We had wowed that when we reached the age of supposed accountability we would banish them forever from our wardrobe but we adopted it again with a fervor exelled only by our early hatred. True the wearing is confined entirely to the ladies, but nevertheless they are here in unpaused glory, and much longer.
And it is also true that the small girls who need to wear them have grown much more accordingly than the fascinators and are no longer made to疲劳 by their bulk. And nowadays they need not be, and are not, wrapped so securely with the knot in the back, out of all possible free reaching of the wearer. Perhaps that is the keynote of their popularity in the flaunting demonstration of how fascinators really should be worn by the erastry victims.
But be it as it may be, the fascinators are good looking, and while it is a fad along with the rest, it is as sensible a fad as has ever come under observation.
The basketball five made a good start Tuesday night. Why not help them win their second game tonight by everybody turning out to root for them?
FRENZIED STUDY
Gradually, with the approach of quiz week, bedtime is being postponed and society neglected in favor of unfinished note books, unwritten papers, and undigested text books. With the realization that the time for the blowing of the professional horn announcing University judgment week is rapidly approaching in fifty-minute periods, many students are deserting the usual pleasures, of a college education for freezed study.
Toward the close of each semester prospective Phi Beta Kappas, funking students, and near funkts attempt the same whirlwind finish. Common as the last minute rush is, it is not an indication of a healthy college life. Students who accomplish most of their semester's work in the next two weeks and receive a passing grade may glory in their temporary achievement, but the real accomplishment is steady consistent work throughout the semester.
THE HENNERY
Once upon a time there was a man. who bought some hens for a source of revenue. They were lovely low and he got a beautiful sheaf of wheat for their daily food and tied it to a tall pole where they could see how fine it was in the sunshine against the blue sky.
Some of the hens never looked up. Others saw it but did not know it was meant for them to eat. The birds of the air soon found it and gained strength to destroy the seed that was put in the ground to grow. And the winds came and blew the rest of it away.
The man sorrowed much because the hens laid no eggs, and also seemed about to die. Then he came to himself and secured some mixed food, though it did not look so pretty, and scattered it through the straw in the scratching-pen.
"It was not long until he had many eggs that were like pearls of great price, and he wondered why he had not thought of it at first.
Moral: Some things come to him who is willing to learn.

NEW CONDITIONS CREATE CALI FOR NEW COINS
A movement to revive the coinage of two- and three-cent pieces and to create other odd-size coins has grown to such proportions as to make legal currency. The present session of Congress, in the opinion of a number of financial editors, A New Jersey Congressman has introduced bills calling for two-cent and fifteen-cent coins. The National Association of Publishers has upended this legislation and has issued a statement saying that "newspaper publishers want a two-cent coin because two cents is now the standard price for newspapers."
theater men want a fifteen-cent cab because fifteen cents is rapidly becoming the standard price for picture-show admissions." The Fourth Estate, an organ of the newspaper business, calls for a two-and-a-half cent piece because it thinks it would be a great convenience in view of "the necessity for higher prices for newspapers to meet the demand for more paper, both with regard to the price of paper and increased wage-scales." Moreover, in view of present prices, The Fourth Estate believes that it might also be a saving to households, since there are "scores of small articles on which the price is deliberately planned to enable the toexact to a half-cent more than he could if the two-and-a-half-cent piece was coined. The Fourth Estate argues that the cost of living is largely responsible for the demand for new coins between a cent and a nickel. For instance:
"In scores of cities it costs seven or eight cents to ride on a street-car, where formerly—in fact, ever since the invention of street-cars—one could have the privilege of hanging out in front of the city's luxury taxes imposed at the last session of Congress are also largely responsible. Soft drinks, including wartax, now practically always cost odd amounts. Ordinary sodas and phosphates, which before the war cost a nickel, now are ten cents, with a one-cent war-tax. The soda usually costs fifteen cents, to which a two-cent tax must be added, and in many places the price is twenty cents, or twenty-five cents plus a tax. The chocolate bar, which formerly sold for a nickel, now is usually priced at seven cents. An evening at the movies costs an odd amount in dollars, or some other uneven figure."

THE BEST SELLER
"Loose tire?"
The American Bible Society reports the biggest year in history for the Bible. Last year 35,000,000 Bibles were sold and distributed in the United States, and this year's circulation was six million. A Bible can be bought for 25 cents. We know no better bargain. In its three or four thousandth year it is still the most popular book.

BOOKS AND READING
That the wife of a naturalist must be possessed of fortitude and poise is pleasantly indicated by many stories contained in the biography of Elizabeth Cary Agassiz (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, New York) in letters, narrative, science and history. "In a hurry to prepare for church, I ran to my cupboard for my boots," writes Mrs. Agassiz, "when I seized the tail of a good-sized snake which was squirring among the shoes. My feet were still sound asleep, that there was a serpent in my closet. 'Oh, yes,' he murmured sleepsily, 'I brought in several in my handkerchief last night. Probably they have escaped. I wonder where the others are?' His rose gambled with the snakes, its leisurely fashion, and expected his wife to adhere their beauty when they were assembled. At another time a young bear, held in durres in the cellar, arose and broke his chain and ascended to the dining room, which accompanied the dinner, who leaves, driving the dinner to him.
The year which Agassiz spent in Brazil in quest of marine and zoological specimens (1865-66) was full of pictureque events. He and his wife purchased the imperial family—a freedom by no means duplicated in their relations with less exalted Brazilians, among whom at that time a call was a discomfort of which warning must be given far ahead to enable the hostess to answer her request. The ordinary calls the frigid silence of the other seniors greatly distressed Mrs. Agassiz, for she found herself unable to sit calmly through the long speechless moments which they took as a matter of course. But the Emperor did not refuse to publish in manners and views—New York Evening Post.
