The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas by asking students for ideas about learning for the ideals the University holds; to play no favorites; to be cheerful to be choosy; to learn to handle problems; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; and to best of its ability the students of the University.

Now that the war is over, Lawrence street cars should get back into the running.
OUR K. U. CAFETERIA
A last the University of Kansas has a cafeteria. To students who have tramped through the snow a winter or two on Mt. Oread, in order to reach their boarding places, this fact, perhaps, means most. But it is a real service to everyone. S. A. T. C. men, students, visitors, business people, all may obtain meals there.
The cafeterias not primarily a money making project. The aim is to serve well balanced, inexpensive meals and at the same time to furnish experience to the students in the department of home economics.
Its convenient location, the quality of food served and the reasonable cost, make the cafeteria of great value to the University.
The hens in Kansas City are to be coaxed to "lay more," according to a news report. This is in line with the "after the war" activity urged everywhere.
THERE IS STILL TIME
THE girl who spends one dollar a month on rouge, three dollars for shampoos and marcels, one dollar on manicuring, five dollars for a filmy veil, and an uncertain sum for fragile silk hose, is not likely to be deeply stirred by tales of mud and hunger and boredom in devastated France.
Her fiance refrains from shocking her delicate sensibilities with details of his life over there; her brother writes briefly and jokingly of his discomforts. She does not know what conditions are, for the movies camouflage the less artistic features of army life, and she seldom reads the magazine accounts.
It is to alleviate the dullness and the discomfort of this time that the United War Work Campaign calls for funds. The women with rose-colored checks and filmy veils who have failed to contribute their quotas may have forgotten the men with whom they danced two years ago.
The men who climbed Mount Oread two years ago are quartered in the tiny villages of battleworn France. They are sheltered from the rain in barns and peasants' huts and are safe at last from shrapnel and bomb. In the first thrill of victory they may not realize the discomforts of that life. But in the waiting time, before the movement of troops to America begins and while it is going on those men will know the acute unpleasantness of physical discomfort, the loneliness of an alien tongue, the boredom of the barracks.
Now for the novelist who will publish a best seller entitled "The Kaiser's Diary."
IT IS UP TO US
IT is up to the University of Kansas and the other educational institutions to make good in lieu of the increased faith of which the people of the state have given evidence in their support of the Permanent Income Amendment.
Our efforts at service will be appreciated by the people who pay the bills if we but keep the ideal of wholesome service ever in mind. The University is judged, primarily, by the work-of
its graduates. No amount of advertising or propaganda will result in permanent good unless the students who leave the University measure up to standard. If our graduates have a philosophy which means active humane service, the people of the state will have an ever increasing faith in our institution.
What the Uniform Tells Information the Everybody Ought to Have— From the Portland Oregonian
THE MEANING OF THE MEDALS ON A FIGHTERS' BREAST
They are not worn, like buttonhole bouquets, for decoration alone. To those who understand they tell a story—what wars the wearer has served in, what acts of heroism he has performed, what skill he has attained in the use of arms.
It is both a duty and a courtesy to the man in the service that you should know the meaning of the medals and insignia, which have been won with blood and at the risk of life. They deserve recognition and appreciation.
Following is a description of various bars of distinctive ribbons of the United States Government medals, which are worn by officers and men, with dress, undress, service and evening dress uniform:
Medal of Honor: White stars on a blue field.

THRUST AND PARRY
Pangs of jealousy were in Miss Coldfoot's heart when she heard that her late admirer had been accepted by Miss Lovebird, and when she happened to run across her in the bargain rush could not resist giving a thrust.
"I hear you've accepted Jack,' she gushed. "I suppose he never told you he once proposed to me."
"No," answered Jack's fiancée. "He once told me that there was a lot of things in his life he was ashamed of, but I didn't ask him what they were." -Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegram.
"I want every man to lie on his back, put his legs in the air, and move them as if he were riding a bicycle," he explained. "Now commence."
An officer on board a war-ship was drilling his men.
The mails from home had been received by a certain regiment. One Tommy received a large box address to himself, and with a triumphant yell he rushed off to his company's lines and gathered them around him to share the contents of the box.
"Why have you stopt, Murphy?" asked the officer.
"If ye plaque, sir," was the answer, "O'i'm coasting."- Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
MURPHY PREFERRED COASTING
CHEERING PACKAGES FROM HOME
After a short effort, one of the men stopt.
He opened the box, gave one look and collapsed in a heap. “It’s from old Aunt Mary,” groaned the warrior. “Bandages an’ intiment, an’ embocation, an’ splints, an’ a book on‘ow to be your own surgin.”—Chicago Herald.
"Smokes, lads," he cried, as he unfastened the wrapping. "From the old man, I know it, and there's sure to be a bottle or two of Scotch."
Bits of Readable Verse

Beneath the new moon sleeping
The little lost towns lie;
Their streets are very white and hushed,
The their black spills lift the sky.
THE LOST TOWNS
Across the darkened meadows
A plaintive night bird calls;
The sea of fog that clouds the fields
Rolls softly to their walls.
Within their shuttered houses
No midnight candles glance;
Their womenfolk are all abed,
Their menfolk fight for France.
They dream, the little lost towns Of Alsace and Lorraine. The vision of the patient years, The old frontier again.
Sleep on, nor cause your dreaming,
Who pitted men and crowns,
We'll bring you back, we'll bring you back,
Oh little, long lost towns.
Pvt. Steuart M. Embrey.
NO MORE HUN TOYS
The Hun baby-killer of yesterday is not to be toy-maker to the babies of today. "Made in Germany" was all very well on children's playthings until four years ago. Germany commanded the toy trade of the world. But now the world knows what the toy-makers were.
How extensively Teutonic toys were the world's playhouses may be judged from the German trade exports for 1912. Twenty million dollars' worth of toys were exported that year. The United States bought seven million dollars' worth of German toys, and the British Empire an equal amount. With the outbreak of the war these exports, except in infinitesimal quantities to neutral countries, ceased.
T toy shortage resulted in the United Kingdom on its first war Christmas. During the Christmas season of 1915 the death of toys was even more acutely felt. Had it not been for the arrival of mechanical tin toys, dolls, games and furniture sets from Japan those would have been toyless days in Britain.
To remedy the situation there were developed semi-commercial and semi-philanthropic enterprises for the manufacture of toys. Artists and designers came to their assistance. But the technical skill which the Germans possessed by specialized training was lacking. Moreover, the organizations did not have commercial insight and a fundamental knowledge of the trade's requirements. As a result they have gradually gone out of business.
"Ten minutes?" the sick man protested feebly.
"Can't you make it any sooner?"—New York Morning Telegraph.
Doll's eyes were one of the little things that barred the way to success. When the stocks of German eyes had been exhausted the British makers found difficulty in producing eyes successfully. But now they have discovered that secret, along with the other tricks of the trade. The display of British-made dolls at the 1918 exhibition of the Board of Trade little to be desired in the new industry. From the knockabout rag variety to the high priced porcelain maiden that moves her eyes and says "mamma," the childish treasures were complete. No little girl need call her dollie "Gretchen" now. Nor is it necessary for and youngster to have a "teddy bear" made by a Boche. They are being produced both here and in England.
Curiously enough, the trade in metal soldiers was wrested from Germany by Britain long before the war through the adaptability and skill of her leading manufacturers. The heavy woody trade was also lost by the Germans. Some difficulties remain to be overcome in the manufacture of clockwork trains and runabout metal toys, which were popularized by the Sonneberg and Nuremberg houses. Such adaptability has been shown in producing them by Birmingham and Liverpool firms that even these may be had after the war without a German badge—Glendon Allvine, New York Tribune.
Ensign Paul Perez, formerly well known to the screen, is back from another trip to Europe with a brand new seasick story. An amateur navigator making his first trip across is the victim and the first day out he was in the throes of the mal-est mal de mer extant when the ship surgeon visited him in his stateroom.
COULDN'T BE TOO SOON
"What's the matter?" was the latter's callous query.
"Come, get up," derided the surgeon, grinning unfeelingly. "The ship's been submarined and will sink in ten minutes."
"O-o-h," was the only response as the young navy man rolled over in agony.
