AMERICANS FIRST
Again, colleges men in the Kansas institutions are proving themselves Americans first, students lastly. Where two years ago they were leaving to learn the use of a bayonet they now are leaving to wield a pick and shovel in the coal mines of their own state.
"All things come to him who waits, providing that he works hard enough.
The call to arms was more spectacular than the call to man the Pittsburgh coal fields but the latter service is just as needful. The call in both cases is in behalf of humanity. Digging coal may seem a humdum task but without this fuel humanity will shiver around an ash-covered hearth.
The legal Americans of the University of Kansas and the other schools of the state are among the first to volunteer in the call for workers. It is they who continue the most sensitive to the American spirit of service.
THE GOOD FIGHT
Given, all the alibi for the defeat of the Kansas football team Thanksgiving Day, the total divided by unprejudiced judgment will always bring this result. The best team won. The best team happened to be Missouri and that made it all the harder to bear.
But while the team did not carry away the Missouri Valley championship when it left McCook Fold after the game, each member deserves the thanks of the students. Since the opening of school, the members of the team have sacrificed much that they might battle for the honor of their University. Regardless of Thursday's stinging defeat, the eleven has fought the good fight throughout the season.
"Lady Actor is Agitated!" It too bad but lots of us feel the same way often but we don't get a top head on it.
SEEING THE LIGHT
The first signs of encouragement for professors in the universities and colleges of this country are brought out by the recent increase in the salaries of the professors of Yale University.
The normal salaries of full time professors who have had $4,000, $4,500, and $5,000, have been increased to $5,000, $6,000, and $7,000, with the understanding that in a few cases where men are of exceptional ability, $8,000 will be paid. This increase will make Yale professors among the highest paid in this country.
The members of the teaching profession well deserve this increase, not
only those at Yale but at every institution of learning in this country. Wages have been raised in every other profession, vacation and trade, because of the increase in the high cost of living, and it is high time that the salaries of teachers be increased. Under the prevailing wage the working man, who is comparatively uneducated, has been receiving a greater return for his efforts than the professor, who has studied hard that he be able to teach, and then worked diligently at his profession.
A man, whether he be a teacher or engaged in any other means of securing a living, can not give the best that is in him if he is underpaid. It is much easier to become discouraged when he feels that justice is not being given him. When he feels that he is being given a square deal, his moral conscience will stimulate him to do the very best that he possibly can. It is a positive fact that an increase in the salaries of instructors and all those connected with out educational system will raise the standard of education in this country.
BATH TUBS THEN AND NOW
Adam Thompson, of Cincinnati, was the first man in the United States to use a bath tub. This was December 20, 1842.
The installation of the bath tub in Mr. Thompson's home, and the actual use of it in winter, caused wide-spread publicity and the newspapers devoted columns to the discussion of it.
Certain patients stated that this type of bathing was a degenerate luxury, designed to corrupt the democratic simplicity of the republic. The medical fraternity denounced it as dangerous to public health, and bound to result in phthisis, the inflammatory infamation of the lungs and the whole cataract of xomatic diseases.
Legislation reflected the common feeling. The Philadelphia common council, late in 1843, considered an ordinance prohibiting bathing between November 1st and March 15th, and it failed of passage by only two votes. During the same year the legislature of Virginia levied a tax of $30 a year on all bath tubs.
Boston early in 1845 made bathing unlawful except upon medical advice, but the ordinance was never enacted and in 1862 it was repealed.
President Millard Fillmore installed the first bath tub in the White House in 1851. This action broke down practically all the prejudice with the result that by 1860 every hotel in New York has one bath tub, and some had two and even three.
Today, it is the man without a bath tub who is in need of special legislation.
Mental Lapses
Lights and noise were tabu, but there was some verbal expressions of thought in undertones. The column was slogging forward the night before the attack on the St. Mihiel alien.
"Wonder where we're bound for now?" spoke one doughboy during a momentary check.
"I dunnn," replied a voice in the dark, "but I heard an officer say it was Metz."
There's a book that is named "The Young Visitors."
"Sure—and he said the genera meant to take it if it cost a hundred thousand lives."
Silence for about five seconds; then "Liberal son of a gun,ain't he?"
Who've guessed till they're crazy
Whether Barry or Daisy
Will admit it is his work. Or is it
"Huh! Motz?"
Man-"I want your opinion on a matter. Would you advise me to borrow $10 to help me out of a tight place?"
Which has brought forth a host of inquisitors.
"The Home Sector."
—E. B. in Chicago "Tribune."
Man-" Very good. Lend me ten.
Lawyer-" That's all right. My
me fee for legal advice is ten dollars and
we'll call it square."
Lawyer—"By all means."
—Boston "Transcript."
SEA SONG
Life, how much more!
Shall thy tides compel me
From the calm shore?
Who will blow in the winds,
And the deep, impel me
"Della," said Mrs. Barrows sternly. "I met that policeman today who sat in the kitchen with you so long ago." He acknowledged of the opportunity to speak to him.
"Oh, go on now," replied Della, with a smile. "You needn't think that'll make it work for you. I must have got him safe enough." — New York "Globe"
I hear thy song
Not as landamen sing it!
Be he the bourne,
Not the dwarves, and the trump
As the thunder ring it.
Tone me deep bells.
Bells of surges breaking;
Where the storm swells
Toll my earth-sleep in the chimes
Nay! buried deep
Nay; buried deep
On my coral pillows,
I shall not sleep—
Crooning my dirge through the
Boom Of the cool green billows.
-Constance Sidney Skinner in the Literary Dijet

A plan to establish better relationship between the fraternities has been inaugurated at the University of Nebraska. Each fraternity will entertain one member of another fraternity at dinner is the plan at present.
The Big Sisters at Colorado U. entertained the Kid Sisters in the Varsity Hall two weeks ago. No one was permitted to have any other date that night, so a large number attended. Fancy dancing, from the Sailor's Office, for the modern feature of the main feature of the evening. The "older ones" escorted their "younger ones" to and from the party.
The University of Idaho plans to send ten delegates to the Des Moines Student convention to be held this winter in that city.
Freshman at Columbia University are to be distinguished by a button worn on the lapel. The buttons are to be awarded for both athletic and non-athletic activities. The Columbia Spectator says that they will pick out the active freshmen on whom they will concentrate their hairing.

While the team was on its way to Urbana, IL, to meet the University of Illinois team, White left the train and joined him on the mission while the porter closed the vestibule as the train started.

PRINTING IN 1403
England and the United States share the distinction of owning the oldest set of metal type bearing Chinese figures in the world, a part of the set being in one country and a part in the other; and a recent description goes back into the ancient history of that much-talked about country, which has been a long ago as 1403, that separate types of metal were invented. In that early time the type was set in a bed of beeswax, the surface was covered with ink, a paper of paper laid across the upper face of the characters, and the printing done by brushting the paper lightly with a cloth. The printer, if he was effusive, made as many as 50 presses a day, but his doublek worked more than eight hours, and his method certainly would not have gone far in getting out a modern newspaper. But the Korean invention was an improvement over the printing from engraved tablets, and later from wooden blocks that had been practiced in China in the second century A. D. and also over the move-in process for the inventor, Pi Sheng, made in the eleventh century—Christian Science Monitor.
The Woman—"I want you to forget that I told you I didn't mean what I said about not taking back my refusal to change my mind. I've been thinking it over, and I twoed that I was wrong in the first place."
Why are the cabbage and onions like some people? Because some people love them in spite of their faults.
All things are grist in the student's mill. But it is the miller who makes the flour.
"Give us our daily bread" now includes a prayer for the coal that brings it ready-baked.
The Man—"You don't really mean that, do you Dolly?"
Kick high, no matter how hard you may fall" said an old farmer who once addressed the students of William Jewell College. And this was his eneithetic speech. He had taken his degree.
Youth holds the keys of the city, "the city that is set on a hill, and cannot be hid."
If you want to walk in the light you've got to trim your own lamp.
If you lose time by going too fast, try gaining time by going slow.
Denver has a woman dog catcher. The prophecy that women would enter the larger sphere after the war is coming true.
Strike and the world strikes with you; work and you work alone.
We are fed up on war, and strikes,
and profiteering, and the many other
what-nots of the day.
WE COULD, BUT WE WON'T
We are surfeited with the complaints and grievances of mankind.
The milk of human kindness has curled and the benevolence of charity has vanished.
We need a change.
We need a little lov in life.
We need a change.
We need to remember that there is a right and wrong—a justice and an injustice—strength and narrow path, but it could rooked as the hairy legs of the devil.
What a world this would be if we could all make a change—if we could dig out the Golden Rule and place its blessing above sinners and abuse.
We could bask in the sunshine of life and watch the clouds roll harmlessly by.
We could see us a people of supermen, guided by the teachings of brotherly love instead of by those of conquest and annexation.
And we could see the light and joy in every heart, in every home. We could, but we won't.
It is a simple matter to state the problem which is arousing the right-leaning parties. Neither hypothesis nor abstraction need be employed in the statement; one concrete example among the most popular of all loyal American suffrages:
WHY?
Long months ago more than fifty alien I. W. W., convicted of plotting sedition, were hauled across the continent to this port of deportation. Of them only ten have been deported. Why?
That is the problem decent folk ir
this country have faced in sorrow now turned to anger. Is this Government too weak to defend itself or is it a form of war within its borders? Is it frightened? Are there those in places of power who secretly sympathize with those who with little concern联召 anarchy for law?-New York Sun.
