FRIDAY, OCOBER 4, 1918
From the looks of things in the School of Engineering, women will publish the "Kansas Engineer" next spring.
It's all been done without any fuss about it; University women are taking the places the men held last year and nothing goes along any the worse for it. They are in the offices, and the laboratories. They are running the college publications and the student book exchange and may take over the college dances. The work is all theirs this year.
"Holding down one man's job is great sport," one woman said, "But I don't know as I am qualified to hold down three." She just happens to be secretary to a dean and to the head of a busy department and an assistant in the chemistry lab.
Truly the old order passeth away. In Green Hall, where formerly was freedom and mirth unrestrained, appear military police. And the cracks in the walk in front of the law steps serve no purpose whatsoever.
Notice to all women boarding on the Hill; if you really want to win your soldier's undying affection invite him to breakfast and to lunch. Military regulations take no thought for distance or convenience and its impossible to carry a dinner pail to drill.
Conservation note: Save those furs until the annual gas and coal shortage begins.
Our idea of the most important thing: The contest which two New York professors are waging over the correct Gaeliic root of the perfectly good American word "skedaddle."
MILITARY ETIQUETTE
The lieutenants and the sergeans and the student soldiers, when they talk to their commanding officer say "Yes sir" and "No sir" and "I wish to report, sir," as a mark of respect and a sign of their readiness for duty. The officers' speech is as correct as their salute.
Some of us on the campus are merely civilians and we don't salute when we meet a gold hat cord or two silver bars. We say "How do you do" or "Good morning." Which is as it should be. But some of us, when we are doing business with the military authorities, sometimes when we are asking favors from them, we say "Uh-huh" and "Huh-uh."
REASONS VS. EXCUSES
"I am hopelessly in debt; I cannot buy Liberty bonds," someone on the Hill told bond solicitors for the Third Liberty Loan. Undoubtedly he was honest in his belief that he could not buy more bonds. When the subject of spending—investing some money, rather—was presented, the first thing that came into his mind was those unpaid bills. Unpaid bills have a way of obtruding at times.
To the outside observer, however, the reason assigned for not buying bonds appeared more like an excuse. Some way it reminded one of the man who declined to lend his axe because he "was going to have soup for supper."
History repeats itself, is a saying almost too trite to be quoted. However, the way in which England repeats history in the matter of dealing with the threat of overdoses foe has nothing at all trite about it. There is the instance of the Spanish Armada, and there is another story which is to be found in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 897 A. D. In that year Alfred the Great had to contend with the Danish plunderers of East Anglia and Northumbria, and the way he set about it was to think how best to outdo the enemy on his own ground. He ordered the building of long ships which were full nigh twice as long as the others. They were not shaped either after the Frisian or the Danish model, but so as he himself thought that they might be most serviceable."
Six of the pirates appearing off the Isle of Wight and laying waste the coast up to Devonshire, the King's men and the King's ships went out and fought them so that only one of the Danish ships got away to the East'Anglian coast. It is the same story, with variations, which Mr. Lloyd George had to tell the House of Commons, the other day, when he spoke of the German submarine menace to the country's very existence and the way British seamen have dealt with it.—Christian Science Monitor.

The very prosperous-looking gentleman stopt and permitted the very pretty girl to fasten a carnation in his buttonhole. Then he handed her a quarter.
"You have fed a Belgian baby," was the reply.
"Nonsense," said the other, adding a $5 bill to his contribution, "you can't do it. Here, take this, and buy a regular meal for the baby."—Pittsburg Sun.
"What is this for?" he asked.

Morning,
Trembling where rocks arise;
Prayers have ascended.
And chimes are droning.
Moaning.
Blended With poor men's long-drawn sighs.
This walling, haggard brood.
But ne'er is spoken
Before God's altar
By God upon His rood.
And dreams are nearer.
Clearer;
Chill darkness earthward falls.
The cold, chilling air.
Chill darkness earthward fails.
The last red glimmer
The last green glow.

THE PHANTOM LEGIONNAIRE
In Literary Digest.
The brazen trumpets cry along the street
And shouting thousands hat those arrears
Who found the lure of the firewood chest;
Who lost the peace their fury thoughts;
Who on the sands of Alciers pleased the gream,
And the stars above them.
Their hearts awakened in a hundred lands.
And
Or the Shail River lound their dream,
Or caught it on the chalk fields of Champagne.
Their hearts awakened in a hundred lands.
To one clear call that crystallized to France.
They met the wine masters of France,
that Time had ended for the wine and dance,
and that his purpose was a mighty one, a mighty
wizard; a wizard; a word.
They took the gun and backed on the sword.
 Their object also was to kill his slave. His slave was their only Lord.
I watch them marching through the crowded ways, and in my dreams one marches with them still. Who sought the flame divine through all his days, And kept his rendezvous beside the hill.

He loves the city where the water is clear, cool and refreshing later hours. And even now, perchance, somewhere near flowers, he can see the tiny flowers.
Among the first to heed the mighty call,
He lives poor in camp and plain,
He is ill with a wound on his arm.
And helped to make the epic of the Alme.
The days of play turned ashen when he Hun.
hemped to make the epic of the Mane.
His days of play turned awaken when the Hun
to France became the greater with the one
his mother country owed to Lafayette.
I love to think that with those marching men Who tread my city streets his spirit goes, And sees the despair in me who sees the despair burns with love and glows With martial satisfaction at the thought
With martial satisfaction at the hilt,
the warrior must be determined in every wind
in every battle, beneath the soil of France
and in the land of Islam.

"Pa." said little Willie, "what's an echo?"
“An echo, my son,” answered Pu, casting a mean side glance at little Willie’s Ma, “is the only thing on earth that can cheat a woman out of the last word.”
"Another definition of an echo, Willie," observed Ma, "is a man who goes to old patent-medicine almanacs for his alleged wit."
And then nobody said any more words but Willie, whose infant mind was naturally confused by all this persiflage.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
