K II MINUTE MEN
Fortunately, the government has no monopoly on the four-minute speech idea, and the fact that it is to invade the University of Kansas in connection with the loyalty campaign, is evidence aptly that this section of the world has learned at least one lesson of the Great War.
The great good which the four-minute speakers did in the way of uniting the nation for the prosecution of the war perhaps cannot be overestimated. For K. U.'s fight for loyalty the plan will have a similar good result. Polished orators, smooth of tongue and graceful of gesture, the speakers will not be. But they will have the message of loyalty tucked into four minutes. They will get the message over in their own way—in the honest, sincere K. U. wail—which being the best, is good enough.
TO AN OLD POWDER PUFF
Consider the powder puff, veteran whiterer of the fair damselfly's brow, erstwhile holder of an intimate place abreast the fair co-ed, yet now, worm, tattered and amused by the task of many complexionings, fallen by the wayside and doomed, except as it may here receive scant tribute from a poorly wielded pen, to ignomious oblivion, unhonored and unsung as it decays among the falling autumn leaves.
Pity, friend and passbyer, yes, sympathy, we besepale, for the driftwood powder puff, silently, yet pititously it cries the tragedy of age. Fallen from Grace, or Helen, who too proud to stoop and risk a rescue hand among the critical glances and shuffling feet of passerby, stalks haughtily to on Woolworth's to replace it.
Conqueror of many pimps, freefee
fighter omnipotent, pink perfumer
par excellence, all powerful remedy for
the nissle nose, behold our tribute and
a tear, shed, as we pause in passing,
as witness to our love of camouflage.
MAKE VISITORS WELCOME
Women teachers from all parts of the state are attending the Annual Teacher's Meeting in Topeka this week. Many of them are graduates of the University and will find time to run over to Lawrence for a little visit with their old friends and to get in touch again with K.U. activities.
Most of the teachers have looked forward to this trip for weeks for few of them get vacations. The young women who graduated last year or the year before, have been waiting for the time when they could come back and enjoy University life for a little while. It is hard for them to become used to the steady rain
f teaching after several years of the pleasures afforded by school life. The students who are still in school sometimes fail to realize how much it means to them to get back and often dislike going to any little inconvenience for the sake of making them comfortable or helping them have a good time. If the K. U, women will look ahead and see themselves in the same positions a few years from now surely they will make an effort to entertain the visiting teachers and make them realize the pleasure of return.

And set it where the sun will above it.
It is only a little twig
With a green bud at the end;
But if your plant it,
It will grow into a tall bush With many flowers.
But if your plant it,
And water it.
And leaves which thrust hither and thither
From its roots it will cure freshweas
And beneath it will the grass-blades
Will bend and recover themalvess,
and will come to another
In the blowing wind.
Duf if you take up my twig
And throw it into a closet
With moustaches and blunted tools,
to the washbasin and waste,
And, some day.
When you open the door
You will think it an old twisted nail,
And sweep it into the dust bin

H. H. S.
Editor, The Kansan:
When the state teacher's association meets at Topela November 6 the question of the unionization of teachers and the affiliation with organized labor will be raised. Much can be in said in favor of teacher's unions because they would bring about better salaries and conditions.
If the teachers affiliate with organized labor the labor leaders will get such a hold on the country as even they have had no conception up to the present time. Principals advocated by the labor leaders would be taught how to work with students and few thinking by the mass of the public severely hampered.
On the other side of the question the teachers should consider the fact that they are in reality public servants. The teaching profession along with the ministerial profession is unlike any other profession and the public must be considered in taking such actions has been advocated for the teachers.
The University Billboard are perhaps among the most useful of our campus decorations but in their press release they say they were brought to the eye. They not only detract from the beauty of the University grounds but indicate a slovenly spirit which is not at all in accord with the practices of the University of Kannas.
O. P. H.
Editor. The Kansan:
Some of the boards present a wobbly appearance which gives one the impression that they are about to fall over. Nearly all of them need a few coats of paint on some part of the board other than the glass front. Quite recently some amateur with artistic ideas tried to convince the publisher that the boards were inflated with wild-cats. Not only is the idea false but the manipulators of the brush showed poor form by using black paint which does not in any way improve the general appearance of the glass in the boards.
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
No doubt the bill-boards are very useful but if we are going to have them on a prominent part of the building, the accommodation certainly should be improved.

The Red Cross, while fulfilling America's obligation to the stricken peoples of Europe, must respond to the call at home to meet the greater peace-time responsibilities revealed by the cessation of war. This means:
AT HOME
I. Organization of the nation's Health forces by co-operation with existing agencies and by independent action in unorganized communities. Education of housewives, school children and other groups in food preparation, home hygiene and care of the sick.
II. Expansion of Home Service in those communities where no similar service exists to provide the same help to civilian families that has been given families of our fighting men. (In ninety per cent of the Home Service communities there existed no similar agency.) Providing an Information Service to explain facilities offered by the government and private sources. Inspiring co-operative effort to make communities safer and better places in which to live.
III. Emergency relief in epidemics and disaster.
IV. Permanent duty with the Army and Navy.
V. Helping the nation's fighters back to civilian life.
VI. Child welfare work.
VII. First Aid.
IN EUROPE
1. Relieving distress among war sufferers and helping their countries recover from the war.
II. Distribution of surplus stores donated by the American army.
III. Helping the war orphans in Europe through the Junior Red Cross.
