Women who ran for congress this year were defeated by men. Another illustration of the truth that women talk faster than men but not so forcibly.
QUR S. A. T. C. SINGING UNIT
W AS there ever greater encouragement for our Kansas University than is given by the formation of an S. A. T. C. singing unit which will furnish our college days with songs full of "pep" and parriotism?
Every enlisted man at K. U is learning to sing. The S. A, T. C, singing unit is making us feel that life on the campus this year will prove a pleasurable one.
Not only are we to hear the choruses of our most popular songs but the chorus of "Over There" is going to be a verse "Over Here." That is one of the requirements of the new war course offered on the Hill. Whole songs will replace snatches of songs.
Music and songs have always been a part of the army but not until this year they have become a real feature, this feature being one of the essential parts of the life of an army man.
In the company drill Monday afternoon at the armistice celebration, one fellow made a mistake. Unfortunately it was, and yet, not so greatly to be regretted, for it marked the tremendous difference between the American army and that of Germany. The American army, a collection of thinking units, fights bravely under reverses, and dashes ahead in success. The German fought bravely enough when all went well, but the machine broke under reverses.
COLLEGE WOMEN ARE NEEDED
A GAIN women are to be called upon to serve. The demands of peace upon women war workers will be as great, if not greater, than the demands of war.
From Helen Fraser, an English woman on a speaking tour in the United States, comes the announcement that many American women will be needed overseas until the demobilization is complete.
Emphasis is laid upon the need of college women. The past record of these women has placed them in the front ranks of war workers.
According to Dean Olin Templin, recently in Lawrence, college women will not fail in assuming new responsibilities. They have already shown themselves as leaders among women. They have taken their places at the front, have served under fire, and now they will serve in time of peace in executive positions.
The new work will carry them among the little children of France, among the old people, among the business people, among the highly educated people. Their college training will enable them to meet any emergency; it will place them on an equal footing with thinkers and workers—and that is what college women are today—thinkers and workers.
IS IT A HAT?
KANSAN reader writes in asking: "Now that you are on the subject of army and navy clothing—what would you call the head gear worn by a sailor?"
Frankly, the Kanan doesn't know. Roughly speaking, the appendage might be called a hat.
It is placed near the position a hat is supposed to occupy but it does not cover the ground entirely. A hat it cannot be.
Again we would venture the second best guess —postage stamp, but even a postage stamp ad- hores to its surface.
A third venture would lead us to suggest night cap—if it were not worn in the day time. Bonnet, head dress, wind shield—we might go down the line to pocket handkerchief and still fail to classify the nobby, niffy, necessary covering that perches somewhere near a soldier's ear. We say car because it can perch on only one ear at a time. Two ears would rock it.
However, the bankchiefer cognomen seems to have it. As one small boy said:
"Mamma, mamma, see the sailor, he keeps his handkerchief on his head. I bet he wishes he had pockets."
That leads us to query: Has a sailor—but if he has it is ten to one they are the size of a nickel.
Sardine prospects are bright, a Maine market report says. In France, sardine prospects have been bright for some time. The prospect of having to pack them any tighter has worried the French Republic considerably.
ORDINARILY it is a mark of a good workman, (or student) to keep plugging along at one's duty even if one does feel indisposed. But under epidemic conditions, when one may transmit to another a disease that will not attack so lightly that other person, the wise thing to do is to withdraw from class at the first intimation of illness. Circumstances make it better for a student to miss a class or two rather than to make a perfect attendance record while subjecting fellow students to danger of illness.

UNIFORMES OF THE ENLISTED MEN
OF THE MARINE CORPS
The enlisted men of the Marine Corps are required to have complete outfits of dress uniform, summer field uniforms, winter field uniforms and overcoat.
The different uniforms are as follows:
Dress Uniform—A single breasted coat of dark blue cloth buttoned down the front with a single row of seven Marine Corps gift buttons, shoulder straps sewn down on the shoulder with a gilt button at the collar end, and a three pointed stray with three gift buttons on each sleeve cuff. The top and bottom edges of the collar, the front and bottom edges of the coat and the edges of the shoulder straps are trimmed with a piping of scarlet cloth one-eighth of an inch wide. Skyblue trousers, those for noncommissional officers having one inch scarlet stripe down the outer leg scams and those for the other men being plain. A dark blue bell crowned cap with a stopping visor of black patent leather the top and bottom welts of the band being trimmed with a piping of scarlet cloth. Just above the visor is a chin strap of black patent leather one-half of an inch wide, attached by a small Marine Corps gift button at each end of the visor. White trousers may be prescribed for wear with this uniform, in case a white cover is worn fitting tightly over the crown of the cap. The Marine Corps device in bright gold metal is worn on the front of the cap. lack shoes are worn with this uniform except when the men wear leggings in which case the shoes are of tan leather. A white leather dress closed with a flat polished gilt belt plate is worn when on duty, and white gloves are worn when under arms. For active duty the tan leather belt and cartridge box may be worn.
Summer Field Uniform—A single breasted coat made of khaki colored cotton material; khaki colored trousers of the same material as the coat; tan shoes; khaki colored canvas leggings; and the face hat of the shape worn by officers, or a khaki colored cover fitting tightly over the dress cap may be worn aboard ship or on other appropriate occasions. The Marine Corps device in dull finish bronze metal is worn on the f front of the field hat and cap, and in addition the number of the company in bronze metal letters is worn on the field hat below the Marine Corps device. Tan leather shoes are always worn with this uniform. The tan leather belt or the cartridge belt of webbing is worn with the field uniform. In the field or at drills afloat or ashore the coat is sometimes dispensed with and the khaki colored fannel shirt is worn.
Winter Field Uniforms—This uniform is made of the same "forestry green" colored cloth as that worn by officers and consists of a single breasted coat of the same general style as the summer field khaki coat.

Bits of Readable Verse Discovered and Handed in by Readers of the University Daily Kansan
L'ENVOI
The thousand things I could not say
Before I crossed the sea.
Dear love, the words I could not speak,
And all you are to me;
The thousand dreams I could not dream
When Life for gold did dance,
and God for steel did crash.
Become a dream, in France.
The thousand things I can not write.
The things that I would do,
when God said he would do, when God
Shall send me home, to you.
-Alison Hastings.
MILLIONAIRES SERVE AS K. P.
"This Army life ain't so bad, y' know, when you have millionaires and prominent statesmen handing out the chow."
"What d' ye mean, millionaires? Those fellows on kitchen police today? Well, what do you know about that?"
For some prominent men were on kitchen police duty that day. Prominent among the waiters who kept the long serpent line moving was Harry L. Corbett, Portland capitalist.
All of which gives the gist of several bits of conversation flying about the big, new cafeteria in Friendly Hall, on the campus, where the men of the Oregon state officers' training camp are assembling for mess these days.
H. H. Cloutier, late manager of the Multnomah Hotel, in Portland, was in the group with Mr. Corbett. Others who did their bit among the plates and kettles were State Senator Julien Hurley, of Malheur County, and Plowden Stott (Stanford, 97), former noted athlete, now Portland lawyer.
More than 250 men are enrolled in the officers' training camp, and they take their turns at keeping the home fires burning by carrying trays, peeling potatoes, clearing tables and otherwise helping keep the formidable aggregation of militant appetites in check—Portland Oregonian.
NO SETTLED RESIDENCE
"Where are you going to lecture tonight, my dear?" inquired Mr. Wise of his wife, a prominent equal-suffrage lecturer.
"I am to address the Cooks' and Housemaids Union," she responded.
Her husband laughed.
"I see nothing to laugh about. Surely they have as much right to vote as any other woman," his wife began, indignantly.
"I am not denying that, my dear," mildly explained Mr. Wise; "but it is a waste of time Don't you realize that a cook or housemaid never remains long enough in one position to be entitled to a vote?"
Mrs Wise, recognizing the wisdom of this, canceled her engagement by telephone.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
FAIR EXCHANGE
A man who had purchased some current buns at a bakery was distrest on starting to eat one to find it contained a fly. Returning to the bakery, he made an indignant complaint, demanding another bun in place of the inhabited one.
"I'm sorry, sir," said the saleswoman, "I can't give you another bun, but if you will bring back the fly I will exchange it for a currant."—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
The whole town was gathered on the platform that morning to see the train pull out —men and women and children, waving and cheering and trying hard to keep on smiling through their tears.
NEVER A NIGHT BEFORE AWAY
FROM HOME
By BRUCE BARTON
Just average, clear-eyed country town boys; twenty of them altogether. And seventen of them had never slept a night away from home before.
Out of the car windows leaned the boys to wave a last good-bye.
They are dwelling in a strange land tonight, whose language they cannot understand.
But across the mud and the snow a light gleams warm from a hut on the edge of the town, and inside good cheer and happiness are ready for whoever will come in to claim them.
Friendship dwells in the hut; keep its warm fires burning bright this winter. Let it be perfectly clear to the men over there that you have not forgotten.
—to the men that only a little while ago were boys who had never slept a night away from home.
