THE OAK AND THE HAZELBRUSH
The Hazelbrush is in
Hazelbrush. The Hazelbrush said to
the Hazelbrush.
"Have you not enough space under your desk to hold your acorns in an open space. Here, crowded by my shoots, and I do not drop my nuts to the ground but give them a break."

"If so, I will choke your Oakling, and
I will not live for three days."
Then the Hazelbrush flew into a rage and said;
for three days.
The Oak mat made the told his son to sprout out of that acorn. The acorn got wet and burst, and clung to the ground in its crooked rootelet, and swirled with acorns.
The Hazelbrush tried to choke him, but he managed to spread upward and grow stronger in the process. The dead years passed. The Hazelbrush had gone to great lengths that soared towered to the sky and was lost.

GET THE $100 PRIZE MONEY
The University of Kansas, has bee asked to enter a $150 essay contest financed by the National Foreign Trade Council. Unlike other contests which have had prizes so large as a hundred dollars for the winner, the competition is to include only those students in the University rather than the whole United States.
See Professor Millis, or any member of the committee, for information relative to entering the contest.
The students entering the contest, may feel with certainty that the same bibliography will be used by all, and that the same time must elapse before the fifteenth of June, when all essays are due. The subject, which deals with the development of foreign trade through an adequate merchant marine, should make interesting reading. It is a live question at present, and is becoming more important every day.
"SWEARING OFF"
Ever swear off? Who of us has not?
A Michigan alumnus gives a different method of changing his habits. Instead of swearing off forever and forever, he just takes a grip on himself and says he won't do it this once.
Then as each time arrives, he settles the matter on the spot. He doesn't swear off. He just decides he won't do it this time.
It does sound easier doesn't it?

A PICTURESQUE JOURNALIST
With the sudden death of Richard Harding Davs there passed a soldier of fortune and a seeker of adventure as romantic as any ever found within the pages of his liveliest novel. Novelist, dramatist and war correspondent, he might easily be the pictureed hero of many a small boy's fervid imagination. His work and interests carried him to the smoking lines of wars from Turkey to Japan and his natural tendencies as an explorer led him from the snowes of Alaska to the jungles of South Africa.
He was born in Philadelphia, 1864; his sudden death at fifty-two years of age was therefore, premature. The world has been deprived of many an interesting tale of adventure and many a story from the battle front of the present war, and wars impending. Others will probably come up to take
his place in the ranks of journalists and authors, but no one will be quite able to fill the place he has left vacant
In the Turkish-Greek war, in the Spanish-American, in the South African and Russian-Japanese, Mr Davis acted as correspondent for the London Times and the New York Herald. His name has figured in the liveliest stories ever submitted "from the front." Among his novels "Soldiers of Fortune" is probably the best known, and the earliest to be dramatized.
Richard Harding Davis—the name has stood for much in American literature, and what it has stood for will not rapidly fade from the public memory.
"Some rise by sin, and some of virtue fall."—Measure for Measure.
A HOUSE DIVIDED
Does the condition in the Reichstag foretell the entrance into the war of an enemy more powerful to Germany than the Allies? Press reports tell the story only in part. Of just how much importance is the attitude of the masses toward the ruling body of Germany?
Past the censor's pencil leaks the news that Herr Lenkebnick, Socialist leader, was twice officially silenced as a recent meeting of the body because of his views on the submarine policy. The members are reported as disagreeing radically on the advisability of the Berlin to Bagdad campaign. Capitalist groups have appeared that hold widely different views on this and other matters.
Just how strong is the love for the Fatherland? Will the disagreement lead to the division of a house against itself?

5. There is already a rule in force here compelling a girl to fill her room if she moves out. Why should the Panhellenic take the question up? It is not necessary. They are rooms sign the agreement. If they do this no trouble will arise.
4. The women will have daytime dates away from the house, if forbidden the use of the houses. Do our mothers want us to room in houses on the street? Friends on the street? I do not think so. A girl should have the right to have company at her house if it does not interfere with her work. The women students would be justly indigent at a rule forbidding afternoon date.

CAMPUS OPINION
—One Who Rooms at a Rooming House.
CAN "QUIET" REIGN?
And that's the joke of it! Can "Quit?" reign in a girl's rooming house? It's absolutely impossible—But, seriously, what is all this foolishness about so many rules for the young women of the University? It would seem that they are little children, so to keep themselves. The present date rule is reticent enough, but to make more rules is adding insult to injury.
THE LAND-LADY RULES
Communication must be signed as evidence of good conduct, and the work should be published without the writer's consent.
"Resolved, that study hour begin at eight o'clock and quiet continue throughout the evening"—resolution number two of the landlades' peti-
2. The rule for quiet hour from 8:00 o'clock on is favored by everyone.
3. The students certainly are not in favor of changing the closing hour. It would be better and deliberation that the women established the present 11:00 o'clock rule, and I can see no good reason why we should change. The women want 11:00 o'clock, and I can see no reason they should deliberately disregarding their wishes.
Lawrence is noticeably free from many of the unpleasant conditions that exist in a large city, and because of these conditions women students in K. U. have been able to do many things including running for City One of the things that women have felt free to do is to go to a picture show in the evenings in couples or in groups unsecreted. But lately a condition has risen known to the city police as "mashing" and is associated with Lawrence men, but by University men.
The petition which he was handed to the W. S. G. A. by the landlades asking that new rules be passed disillusions a number of the Women of the University. We had thought that this institution was regulated for the benefit of the students, but if such petitions as this are to be considered, we should ask the students for the benefit of the landlades. The students are men and women and are treated as such by the University authorities, but not so by the landlades. The University considers its students capable of governing themselves but the landlades needs must take a hand and dictate not only what kind of an audience they have to breathe, but they would measure every breath and action of our guests as well. What are you, the members of the W. S. G. A., going to do about such Boarding School rules as the ones that have been submitted, by this committee of landlades, who make their living off the students? I have investigated this petition quite thoroughly and find this to be the general opinion, of the respective rules which were submitted.

Indignant.
Reports have come from numerous groups of girls that when coming home *from* the picture show or the post office in the evening, they have been followed by couples of University men, or else have been accosted with women who are asking their there girls," or "Ah, there, Mary." The situation has become so unpleasant that many girls are refusing to go out in the evenings unless escorted or chaperoned. In a town as large, or as small as Lawrence this is an entirely unnecessary condition. The names of a number of the men arraymen are known and conduct is "high schoolish," to say the least.
Editor Daily Kansan:
any other young women to a picture show—she must begin to study at eight. And worse than ever—they will not allow daytime dates! What's the reason for this rule? "Of course for this mission to go to the picture show when they are in the afternoon. She might be late for supper." Is that the reason?
It all seems like foolishness to me. When a young lady comes to the University, if she has no mind or individuality of her own, she is supposed to develop one. Surely she should have a daydream, not 'n the daytime.-But no, they seem o the landlades to be mere infants o be tied to apron strings.
