KINGDOMS AND COAL.
FRIDAY, DEC. 5, 1919
The world is on one big hunt for coal. The stifle of the miners in the United States has brought this nation from a condition of plenty to one of scarcity and is now leading it rapidly to the brink of absolute famine. But cold homes, closed schools, closed industries, have brought us to here in America a taste only of a condition that is chronic in Europe
America clamors for coal during a general strike, but the condition is not beyond relief within a reasonable length of time. Not so in Europe. Central and Southern Europe are hungering, dying for coal, and there is no coal. The situation there has not even the promise of relief.
Germany has signed away to France many of her most valuable coal deposits. Much that she can still mine must go to Belgium and Italy under the terms of the same treaty. The new states in Southern Europe are to continue to want, as a result. Inherited animosities, racial prejudices, hatreds, suspensions and fears, do not beoget coal, and in Europe there are inherited animosities, hatreds, suspicious and fears. Machinery lies idle, production lags, men starve, while governments search in vain for the new staff of life.
The time may come when kings will give their kingdoms for coal, for in the absence of some such barter may be neither kingdoms nor coal.
JAZZLESS DAYS
Jazz is on the wane. France seri-
ously objects to it and it is losing its
popularity in America according to
musicians who favor a different kind
of music.
And what kind of a country will America be without its sympatico and butchered music? Imagine a Junior Prom where the dancers are swaying to the tune of "Old Black Joe" or some equally antiquated selection, each note a distinctive unit in itself. Grandmother's birthday party will be a lively affair compared with a jazzy Prom.
When jazz is eliminated from the musical scheme of things, orchestra players will find it necessary to take up gymnastics work again or some other form of exercise. No longer will they be able to take their walk on the piano or their shoulder exercise on a saxophone. Trombone players may still be excused from gym, but they should be required to blow all their notes in the same direction.
The absence of jazz will be hard on the authors of the latest hits which depend for their popularity on their jazzy setting in a group of rapid fire notes rather than for any meaning of the words. Mothers will
reconstruct the old favorites and the parlor fadist will spend an entertaining evening in the southeast corner while Daughter sings "Annie Laure" without interrupting the original tune.
Yes, jazz is a horrible perverted taste which needs immediate suppression before our taking and singing machines become converted and go on strisce against the artists who prefer their music unadulterated. It's getting into the blood and even our hearts start jazping when a pretty girl sends a smile our direction. In fact so prevalent is the habit that during the last week every student at K. U. has jazzed his way up and down the Hill and between classes.
THE VALUE OF GRIT
Slipping and sliding, three thousand students make their way over the snow and ice-covered sidewalks and up the hill. For every step forward there is a slippery loss and the feet refuse to track steadily forward. Then some kind-hearted person carries his outes through the front door and distributes them on, the tricky sidewalk. From then on, all who pass over that stretch of grit which he has deposited are able to move forward in a straight line without delay.
Some students are badly in need of a similar form of mental grit. Their minds refuse to work in a straight line. Instead they shift from thought to thought without definite direction like a pair of feet climbing Fourth Street over ice bricks. A little mental grit in the form of concentrated purpose would keep their minds from slipping.
SOCIETY FOR SLIPPERY SHOD
Provision should be made by students to dig a net work or construct an elevated, if snow shoes are not available, in case it really snows, for it is apparent that the sidewalks will not be cleaned.
Every walk on the campus is an elongated skating rink of varying smoothness and the person who has no spikes in his shoes or a can in his hand a apt to proceed at times in a manner very unbecoming to college students owing to the pull of gravity and the decreased friction between th bottom of his footwear and the ground. Besides being possibly uncomfortable such a precipitous decline may occasionally be violently embarrassing.
A Society for the Safety of Slipery Shod Students would be a useful addition to our already large group of unnecessary organizations.
THOSE LITTLE TRINGS
THOSE LITTLE THINGS
The honor system prevails in the University library. The reference books are placed there for the benefit of any student who wishes to use them. Those which cannot be checked out must be used by one student at a time. The honor system demands that the student, when through with that book, return it to its regular place for the use of the next student.
Perhaps it is easier to study at home than in the library or more convenient. Or perhaps if the book is misplaced the student can walk into the library at any time and secure his book. The librarian is not a detective and the unscrupulous student can easily do it But what of other students? Play a square game with them by replacing the book in the right place. It's such a little thing to do but so important.
"Do you think it is quite safe," she asked a brawny miner, who was accompanying the visitors, as she glanced up at the rope.
"Don't you fear, num," was the reply. "You're quite safe. These are ropes are guaranteed to last exactly twelve months, and this one ain't due to be renew-1 till tomorrow."
HE STOOPS TO CONQUOR
An old lady was going down a coal mine for the first time in her life. As she cage slowly descended she noticed how she and the rest of the party were dependent upon a single rope to which it was attached .

"Gee, but it's late! Will your wife
get up and let you in when you get
home!"
"I'll make her. She's scratch on the door and whine and she'll think her dog's been locked out."—St. Louis Republic.
WAITING
I heed not the dancing.
Their merriment wearies,
Since you are not there
Oh dark in the water
and dreary the way,
With the collet I love
in a land far away.
Though eyes soft and tender
Emile into my own,
I see not their beauty.
Since yours, I have, known
Since yours I have known.
And I pray in the valley.
HARA I pray in the valley,
And pray by the shore.
That some day you'll come back
To your home in Clommore.
—Katherine Edelman.
On Other Hills
King George has' sent to Harvard university a message of gratitude for the work which the hospital unit from that university did in the recent war.
Hugh Walpole, one of the best and most popular contemporary novelists, will speak at Northwestern university on the subject of his own art history. In addition to his work, Walpole has spent most of his life in England. During the early years of the war he served in the Russian Red Cross. This period in Russia gave him material for his novels, including "Dark Forest" and "The Secret City."
Iowa State college has no need of a "Hand Bounce." For one of their recent games the women of the college carried on a tag day campaign for the purpose of raising the $1,000 necessary to send their music-makers away with the team. Each of the students, together with an equal number of tags to sell for whatever the students, faculty members, and town people would pay.
Last week the entire student body of Franklin and Marshall College voted unanimously to go on strike, and voted of fifteen students for having.
Footballs are very much in evidence in the University of California where the players are required to carry one of the pikels with them constantly. "This is to remedy a formality for football," Coach Andy Smith, the varsity mentor of Berkeley Heights university, Coach Smith, who was formerly coach of the University of Pennsylvania eleven, believes that if his players be carried with them and handle it constantly, fumbling will be reduced to a minimum. Hence, the 30 men that compose the varsity squad of the University of California carry the brown pill with them, the 15 men that Coach Smith finds one of his men minus the after-mentioned article he would be immediately dropped from the squad.
Yale Department of Demobolization Employment has issued a report of its first six months of activity showing that a total of 210 graduates held positions in positions which command salaries from $1,900 to $9,000 a year.
Plans are being made at Cornell University for a swimming pool and the organization of a swimming team. The figures on the cost of the new pool are not correct. It is not expected that the new pool will be finished before two years.
Dartmouth is to have a stadium in which to play its football, lacrosse and soccer games next year. The Alumni body has decided to donate some of the money to the Alumni Oval. It is expected to have a seating capacity of 10,000.
Mental Lapses
"Is your wife's mother enjoying her trip to the mountains?" "I'm afraid not. She's found something at last where she can't walk over."-Boston Transcript
"Yes, he kin git all the pills he wants for our air guns."—Kansas City Journal.
FOILED
"You seem fond of the druggist's little boy."
Mr. Batz: "You ought to brace up and show your wife who is running things at your house."
UNNECESSARY
Mr. Meek (sadly); "It isn't neces sary. She knows."—Life.
"What disease do they bring?" she asked.
There is a shortage of 38,000 school teachers in the United States. That, of course, is the inevitable result of so many good teachers resigning to become janitors—Borden Cities Star.
THE HIGHER COMPENSATION
LUCKY BOY
"You claim there are microbes in kisses?" she asked the young doctor. "There are." he said.
DANGEROUS GERMS
"Palpitation of the heart."— Ladies' Home Journal.
Four-year-old Gladys was much impressed by the strangeness of a town where she was making a visit. And all of a sudden one day also came up with the idea that mighty glad God put me down at my own home where I was acquainted."
Second grade Teacher at morning inspection:
“Your hands look so nice this morning. Margery. What did you do to them?”
Margery, very sufficiently: " washed the dishes."
"Dear Teacher," ran a note from a conservative mother. "It's no use gittin' no tooth breath for Eudory, her teeth is comin' out so bad. When her new teeth come in I'll git the brush if I kin git the money."
See the ambitious pedsterian their* day, how he bravely takes one step forward, and often slips back two!
Old King Coal is a gorgeous old soul, A gorgeous old soul is he!
Love dig in my dust, I'll take you on trust,
And make you a peer of the realm, says he!
Speaking about the current fad of leather coats reminds one that there have been some unscrupulous animals if the material used in some of these coats were ever worn by them. The oilloth weave stands out too plainly.
Peculiar that some of the freshmen needed "reminders" to make them wear the caps last fall, but no others were necessary to take them off.
Suggestion to aid students in keeping their balance during the present lippery condition of the walks: Fasst strips of adhesive tape to our heels.
