"LET HER GO ONCE MORE!"
OLEGE spirit has given place to something else this year—no rallies; no bon fires; no night shirt parades. But there is no occasion to mourn, because something else has taken its place—the most worth-while thing in the world. The work of preparing for the defence of home and country is itself the noblest expression of a fine spirit.
But at the right time, the good old K. U. spirit will thunder forth in support of the team. Saturday will be the first big opportunity of the year.
All the saved-up enthusiasm will find an outlet. There is going to be a real football game that day! And then, in half an afternoon, the K. U. rookies will turn loose all the "Rock Chalks" and other forms of enthusiasm they have been saving up for nearly two months. The stands will once more tremble under the onslaughts of the Thundering Thousand, increased now to two thousand and garbed in khaki. And then everybody will know that K. U. hasn't really lost its spirit.
WOMEN MUST WORK?
When an S. A. T. C. student forgets and slams a door he is told to open and close it twenty times. In one respect, at least, army discipline is keeping up with mother.
It may be that Suzanne or Katie may find herself under the direction of a "work or fight" order, if Mrs. George Hoadley, chairman of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense of Cincinnati, Ohio, has her way.
"Of course the 'fight' part of the measure cannot apply to women, but they should be compelled to perform some essential labor," said Mrs. Headly. "If civilian men are required to work women should be made to do so likewise. The war is their responsibility as much as it is their husbands', fathers 'or sons.'"
The work or fight ordinance as applied to men provides that every able-bodied man of eighteen to fifty-five years must work at least forty-eight hours a week at a lawful and useful business, profession, occupation or trade during the war.
The woman who does not have to work and relies on her war tax to protect her will also come under the ban.
If kkahi is good enough for our fighting men, and blue jeans for our working men, the women should be willing to wear the same serviceable garb.
It would be a good idea to register the women and find out how many of them are serving. Mrs. Hoadley is not a bad one.
When a woman watches a great clumsy man handle a tiny baby she wonders deep down in her heart which is the more helpless.
CHRISTMAS BOXES OFF?
PARENTS are watching for the overseas mail with unimpaired impatience these days. To date Lawrence has received twenty-five of the Christmas labels which will enable parents here
to send a bit of Christmas cheer to the boys over there. Four of these twenty-five packages have already started on their voyage. More than nine hundred are expected to go. The quota estimated by the Red Cross for the county is fifteen hundred.
The next general delivery of overscars mail in Lawrence will be made about November 14.
Postmaster C. C. Sewir, chairman of the committee for sending the Christmas packages, has said that while every box must be mailed not later than November 20, there should be no unnecessary worry because the labels have not arrived. They will undoubtedly be here before the fifteenth of the month.
Parents having boys in the navy are given greater freedom in their choice of gifts. These boxes may weigh as much as twenty pounds. No order signed by the commanders is required. All packages shipped by parcel post or express to men in the navy must be forwarded in care of the supply officer, fleet supply base, Twenty-ninth Street and Third Avenue, South Brooklyn, N. Y., so they will reach the base not later than November 15.
The same restrictions regarding the sending of perishable articles apply here as well as to the smaller packages sent overseas. Christmas packages intended for vessels in home waters may reach the base as late as December 1.
Christmas boxes for the navy should be on their way. The cartons to be sent to men in the army may be forwarded as soon as the labels are received. Although November 20 is the time limit, there is little danger that all labels will not arrive before that date. The thing is to be ready to fill the cartons as soon as the labels come.
The army deserter who recently stole a $100 horn from the Hill and went tooting about town selling Liberty Bonds proved that music and patriotism are a good combination, but borrowed music and borrowed patriotism will never get a man anywhere—except into the guard house.
What the Uniform Tells Information the Everybody Ought to Have— From the Portland Oregonian
WHAT THE UNIFORM TELLS
Believing that the majority of persons are ignorant regarding the uniforms and insignia of the United States navy and army, the Kansan will reprint information compiled by the Washington office of the Portland Oregonian for the service of its readers.
"Since the time of Caesar's Legions," says the publication, "fighting men have been given uniform dress. At first some distinctive color or badge was used, but gradually all military and naval organizations have adopted uniforms. This has been due to military necessity, convenience, economical considerations and sentiment."
"Soldier's dress has been so modified and complicated through the ages that today the average citizen often finds himself at a loss to recognize the service, corps and rank of our own fighting men.
"All uniforms are divided into two general classes, dress uniforms and undress or service uniforms. Dress uniforms are for use on occasions of ceremony and are more ornate than the service or modern field uniforms which are most in evidence today.
"The land forces are made up of the regular army, the organized land militia when called into the service of the United States which is practically the same as the so-called national guards of the several states, and such volunteers and drafted men as may be authorized by the Congress from time to time as occasion demands.
"The sea forces consist of the regular Navy, the Marine Corps, the Naval Militia of the several states and territories when mustered into the service of the United States, and the Coast Guard and Lighthouse Service when transferred to the Navy Department in time of war.
"The uniforms of the Army and Marine Corps have resulted from an adoption of the styles of the older nations with such modifications as were from time to time dictated by local conditions or national sentiment. The uniforms of the Navy follow rather closely in style, color and cut those worn in the 'rBritish Navy.'"
"The Marine Corps is a distinct military organization normally forming an integral part of the Navy, but when the President so orders any portion of the Corps may be detached for service with the Army. In every war in which the United States has been engaged the Marines have fought as a part of the crews of the fighting ships of the Navy, as landing forces and expeditionary forces with the Navy and also on detached service with the Army.

HE WAS A DRAFTEE
This happened at camp. Some soldiers were talking when a newly made soldier came in. The soldiers all looked up and one of them said, "Well, just look what the wind blew in." The newly made soldier said, "No, no, boys, not the wind, the draft."
HELLO!
The school children were all requested to bring books for the soldiers and the teacher said she would take a report of the books obtained the next day. Well, the next day, one little fellow said he had 200 books. They all looked amazed and told him to bring them. The following afternoon in strolled little Jimmie with 200 telephone books.
A soldier passed a lieutenant and did not salute him, so the lieutenant called him back and wanted to know the reason. The soldier said: "Who are you?" The lieutenant answered that he was an officer. Whereupon the soldier said, "Gee, you're lucky. I'm only a private," and passed on.
GUARDHOUSE FOR HIM
Veteran: Well, he attracted the attention of the colonel, and is very popular with his captain—but he is finding it awful hard to please the ergent and the corporal.—Judge.
Neighbor: How is your boy getting along in the army?
PLEASING THE WRONG ONES
WHY HE WAS APPREHENSIVM
Sandy McTavish was a highly skilled workman in a new aircraft factory.
Therefore it happened one day that Sandy was asked if he would care to accompany the works aviator on one of his trial flights in a machine.
--and
SHEAFFER FOUNTAIN
PENS
"To tell the truth," answered the Scot, "I wad rather be on the ground."
Sandy, after some hesitation, agreed to do so. During the flight the aviator asked how he was enjoying it.
"Tut, tut," replied the flying man. "I'm just thinking of looping the loop."
"For heaven's sake don't die that!" yell the now very nervous McTavish. "I've some siller in my vest pocket,"-Tit-Bits.
"Docs a woman always have the last word"
"No, sometimes she is talking to a woman."—
