UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Music and Mending Add To Men's Enjoyment of Y.W.C.A. Hostess House
Mrs. Wilmot, Hostess, Says More Soldiers Are Making Use of Facilities Every Day
"There is no doubt that the Hostess House is growing more popular each day," said Mrs. Belle Wilmot, hostess this morning. "An average of 180 men are in every day, to rest, read, write letters, press their clothes, or have them pressed, or to meet their friends. More of the S. A. T. C. men are get-together each week, and we hope soon to reach all the men in one way or another.
A new phonograph has been added to help entertain the soldiers and sailors in their off hours and it's going almost every hour in the day now, even though it hasn't been paid for. A committee of University women, including Dorothy Dawson and Jean Haines is collecting funds to pay for the phonograph. Subjects are funded from all the women in school. Even if not solicited, all interested are asked to give a quarter to one of the members of this committee, or to leave a contribution at the Hostess House.
A stock of candy has recently been put in, but Mother Wilmnot finds it difficult to keep any in stock. The candy is sold to S. A. T. C. men at cost price, and may also be purchased by University women who happen in at the Hostess House, as long as the supply lasts.
Any K. E. women who have vacant hours can always find employment in the way of sewing on buttons or pressing uniforms, if they will go to the Hostess House. This sort of work is a diversion from class work, and all that is necessary is to offer Mother Wilmot to help.
Mrs. Wilmot and her assistant, Mrs. Batty, with the help of women from down town are mending, altering and pressing uniforms and overcoats for S. A. T. C. men. Men who wish to do their own pressing may use the ironing boards and electric irons. This work is done free of charge and is under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A.

Snakes Will be Snakes Even When Exhibited
Although not a part of the exhibits the snakes in the basement of Dyche Museum seem to put a wide awake interest into the lower division of the building by giving some peculiar performance similar to those of the students. They, the snakes, seem rather dull and haven't any pep. The blue racers, obtained recently in Western Kansas have been here only one week and haven't become accustomed to the new surroundings. Like freshwater turtles, they've realized that the college is more than a n soft grassy bed. Still they are quite lively and spend most of their time viewing the new corners.
The Gila monsters have been here three weeks and seem to know a little more about the affairs of the college, for like sophomores they are learning. They came from Arizona and have not recovered from the trip as our football team has not recovered from the trip to Nebraska.
The Cotton Mauth, poor old fellow, has lost all of his pep and fears he will not have any spirit until the spring comes, when he may have a good meal from his fellow rattleamake. Like the Junior, he waits for something to turn up.
The lonely old rattle-snake is ready for most anything. He has been here for some long time and our Senior feels he is doing just the proper thing. However, the snakes are alive and going and with Mr. Bunker's care will have as much spirit as the most of us when the Christmas vacation comes.
War Map Is Classed With Ancient History
Forlorn and almost forgotten, it hangs by the clock in Fraser Hall. A few students who are early for class gaze up to see where the lines of our allies stopped—and with a satisfied expression, go on their way. Not that the war map does not interest them, but it in all 'over. The green and gray hills of north-westly advance of our allies; remain in the same spot as they were November 11, showing the 35th, 89th and twenty-seventy divisions farthest in advance. The war map, for the present at least, is ancient history.

Girls Don't Relish Military Hair Cuts
PROTCH
Does she like 'em? You mean military hair cuts? I'll say she does.
The College Tailor 833 Mass. St.
She likes 'em just about as well as she likes these blouses that have room左 to grow in, the shoes that the boys get turned side wise in and hats that sometimes cover the head and sometimes don't. But its all in the game and those that can't about how the hair will be covered so the hair can grow out. But until then, her objections to the military hair cut are various.
Ears which in times of peace seem to be of moderate size have suddenly grown enormous. Pompadours that once looked almost marvelled have a strange resemblance to wheat stubble. But on top of all that, one can never recognize one's friend, which of course is an excuse for speaking to every one. That is the only point in favor of the war time hair cuts and it isn't large enough to overbalance the many points against them.

Non-coms in the naval section have a mess table to themselves and are allowed to eat before the seamen.
Sergeant Wahisted is working on a navy glee club and the men are trying out daily in Barracks 4. The gobs have the talent and will have a company orchestra later.

The seamen are talking up a company dance.
Serg. Birl Adams, U. S. M. C., is top sergeant of the naval section and Sergeant Wahlisted is acting top sergeant. The other non-coms in the company are seamen. The acting army sergeants were transferred from the navy several days ago

FISCHER'S SHOES ARE GOOD SHOE
Novelty
— of ideas, effectiveness of line, and smartness of style can never be too much in evidence in Women's Shoes for dress or general wear—"the more the merrier" seems to be the universal cry this year.
The new Winter Models we have just received in Brown are stunning examples of the vogue as seen by critical eyes—the eyes of women who see clearly in the world of fashionable dress.
Ready now——if you are!
It is Patriotic, as Well as Economic,
