THE SMITH FAMILY
FRIDAY, DEC. 12, 1919.
Poor Father Smith deserves our sympathy around the first of the month. Forty-three young Smiths are enrolled in the University. Twenty-seven of them are men.
A study of their Christian names will reveal the versatility of Father Smith. By a skillful manipulation of middle names and a choice selection of those that begin with X, Y, or Z he has avoided any serious duplication. Three times she has familiarized the Smith by prefixing a "William" and twice respectively, "Henry," and "Howard," but a third different name has added the necessary note of distinction.
Those forty-three Smiths are a hopeful sign in this day of lamentations for the large number of hyphenated Americans. With forty-three Smiths in the University of Kansas and hundreds of younger Smiths preparing to enter, we ought not to have any fear that our nation is being foreignized by a lot of people with more elaborate names than the Smiths.
P. Connor says the end of the world will not occur December 17. But don't feel too safe yet, Mr. Connor's statements have been disproved more than once.
THE SLIP ON SUGAR
THE SLIP ON SUGAR
Many people are like the Irishman who declared that his hind sight was a great deal better than his fore-sight. But with each cont'd advance he is necessarily much more expensive; millions of dollars more expensive, it is pretty hard to forgive the men who are responsible.
These men were supposed to understand their business, to know how to look ahead and size up world conditions. But we are now serenely told that "somebody's foot slipped." The Cuban output could have been purchased last summer for six cents a pound, and now we are likely to pay twenty to thirty cents a pound before the situation can possibly be stabilized.
Another slip on the part of the commission was in fixing the price without limiting the consumption which has increased at an unheard-of rate. Everybody has seemed obessed with the idea of making up to himself for the sugar deprivation so cheerfully endured under the war-restrictions. Mr Hoover suggests a plan for general rationing, and he thinks that the regulating the enormous demand for candy and soft drinks would send the speculators out of the market. But the Department of Justice has thrown up its hands in despair, and abandoned any attempt as sugar
control.
The best we can do is to "mush along." Everything considered, the snow is very soft and deep, but Kansas people, especially, are always very vanguard about the net crop. We can send a lot of mighty pleasant thought to the sugar planters. And meantime, suppose we cultivate a taste for sorghum.
Truth, they say may be stronger than fiction but there surely must be some mistake about the professor from the University of Wisconsin being found wandering around with $25,000 in his pockets.
THE LIBRARY CRIMINAL
Is the University being swept by a crime wave?
The numbers of overcalls, notebooks and other articles which have been reported taken from the library during the month just passed, 'indicates that something is radically wrong. It would seem that a course in ethics should be prescribed for some students to teach them "Thou shalt not covet——"
Coming at a time when the "Put K. U. First" movement is in its phase of development, this virulent practice takes on a greater significance. Nothing could harm the University more; nothing could give it a blacker eye. It gives rise to the belief that the students of K. U. are a set of thives and are no to be trusted.
It matters not that the evil wrought has been the work of but a few unthoughtful ones. Reflection is cast upon the University as a whole—and it is up to the great majority of horest, conscientious and trustworthy students to ferret out the offenders and see it to that proper punishment is meted out to them
Until such practices as these cease, the Loyalty Campaign cannot hope to succeed.
It is such a pleasure to hear that the magnazines are all to be published again. It is doubtful if the nation could have gotten along much longer without being told what particular tooth paste is in style just now.

Guide To Odd Gifts
Madeline is crazy about music, just any kind. She plays everything she can get her hands on. But the popular music is six months getting out to her town. If you would take her half a dozen of the latest song hits when you go home for vacation time, Madeline loves you. T.J. Eli Bell Music Company has quite a complete line of the latest song and dance music at prices from fifteen to thirty-five cents. Some of the latest music that Madeline would like is The Vamp, My Baby's Arms, Breeze, Swanee, Oh What a Pail was Mary, Nobody Knows and Nobody Seems to Care. Ive Got My Captain Working With You. I love playing of Playing Second Fiddle, You'd Be Surprised, I Used to Call Her Baby, and I Found the Nesting Place of the Bluebird.
Bessie is opposed to extravagance in any form, in anybody. She carries her belief so far in her own conduct that she 'earns' her keep from her father. She also never thinks of buying herself such a foolish article as a pair of Pulilan slippers, she could probably be induced to wear a gift pair on those numerous perforations of hers to the towns where she goes in search of food. She likes brown leather rulman slippers at last year's prices, $125 a pair.
Aunt Josephine was brought up to believe that Christmas gifts should be useful. There is no harm in their being beautiful as well. A painted jacket to wear when she goes motor- or when she wears that new suit that is so good looking she just simply must wear it even if it is scarcely worn. A little gift you friend for life. That would be cheap at half the price, which if you buy one with sleeves it is $3.75, without $2.25.
Jack's wife has always seemed a little strange and distant. A comfort dainty silk comfort knotted in pink or blue for the carriage or erib of the woman, you can reach her (to her, and to you, too) will warm her heart toward you immediately.
OLDEST SONG
What would you say if you were asked to name the oldest tune in the world? The Boston Herald thinks that it is the air sung commonly to "For He's a Jolly Good Follow," a bachchanian ditty.
Y. M. to Meet Thursday Afternoon
Con Hoffman will continue his discussion of his experiences in the war prison camps Thursday at 4:30 in Myers Hall. This is the second of a series of addresses which Mr. Hoffman is giving at the regular weekly meeting of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. Hoffman, and American prison camps during the war, and "knows his stuff", according to one of the men who heard him last week.
The air to which is sung the words "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," says the Herald, can be traced to distant Mediterranean countries. Its origin is lost in antiquity, but it is supposed to have been learned from ancient Babylonians by the Egyptians, who popularized it in Asia Minor Arabis still sing it.
Crusaders caught the tune from their Saracen enemies and sung it under the walls of Jerusalem. The air was ultimately carried into Europe, where it survived, in various forms among folk songs of different nations
In 1709, after their defeat at Malpaint, the 'Fench following a false rumor of the Duke of Marlborough's death of the Duke o' daa, heft afA Mansfield, the 'Halloween' plament, 'Mashbrook is Off to the War,' detailing the supposed death and burial of the English general and the ascension of his soul to heaven. The words were sung to the old popular tune 'Bring On the Lord.' The swing of the twenty-two verses.
The air is still popular in France as it is in England and America, but few of the doughty bobbies, tommies and pollinum humming in chorus can have suspected the varied history of the simple tune—The Musical Leader.
Like most topical songs, this one was of short-lived popularity, but in 1871 it suddenly echoed from one end to another. Marie Antonie gave birth to tion heir, and the baby prince, in accordance with French custom, was placed under the care of a robust peasant fosterer. The young princess royal charge to sleep with the old song of her village home. The girl mother began, almost unconsciously, to repute the simple refrain, and, to her surprise, the song became the crate of the day.

Under the microscope, one discovers in that statement the idea that the Kannas miners have a prescriptive right to the jobs which they have been hired for. The lawful for any one to do the work which they refuse to do, even though their refusal bring suffering ane death on the people of Kansas. There is something pathologically wrong in that statement, can harbor that dea.—Dallas News
THE KANSAS STRIKERS' STAND
Those young Kansans who have volunteered to dig coal are displaying the same quality of patriotism that they showed on the battlefields or France. If then they fought for their country and their homes, now they are working or them. Notwithstanding they thus earn gratitude and applause, they have been the objects of scorn and denunciation by the leader of the striking miners in Kansas, as well as the call that spended. He has, Alexander Howat, says, intensified the situation. "Nothing." Howat adds, "could have been done that would have made the miners more determined."
