Tuxedo The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe
The first thing you'll notice about Tuxedo is the rich, mellow-sweet Burley flavor. And the best thing about it is the on-your-toes snap, and brisk, bracing hustle you get out of it.
"Tux" will smoke out that tobacco-hunger as no other tobacco can, and you can smoke pipeful after
original Tuxeau Process retrohves every trace of harshness and "bite".
Get a tin of "Tux" and try it for yourself.

THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY
OSTRICH EGG ON TOAST WAR LOWERED PRICE Only $60. a Dozen Now.
The women at 1346 New Hampshire street enjoyed a rare "feed" Thursday evening when ostrich egg on toast was served up to them. The egg was sent to Josie Trinkle, 17 College, by her parents who live in Arizona.
The long circumference was 17 inches, the short circumference, 15 inches. Its contents measured over a quart. The shell was one-tenth of an inch in thickness and had to be opened with a file. The shell around the edge when broken looked like the edge of a piece of broken china.
Miss Trinkle says that this is the beginning of the "setting" season, and that incubators are made especially for ostrich eggs. Forty-two days are needed to produce a climate like that of Arizona, the little birds can not break the shell. An expert is employed to do this and it requires skill on his part. In fact, he inspects the eggs every three hours, and just before they are ready to hatch.
The posters are reproductions of designs made by Bragwyn for soliciting funds for the relief of the French troops in northern France and windows of Weaver's store last week.
Beautiful Posters on Display
Miss Trinkle also says that the war has lowered the price of ostrich eggs. Good ones can now be had for about $60 a dozen.
The proteges of Prof. W. A. Griffith will adjourn to the open this week to make their sketches of the trees and buildings on the campus, that have been sketched annually for more than a decade, only one difference this year, according to Professor Griffith. There will be no more golf balls to dodge. In the years that Professor Griffith has taught the class he has been struck a cold fuse and is one who does not mourn the demise of the Great Golf club.
Beautiful Posters on Display
To Tony F. Barrigan, by Frank Brangwyn, the English artist, will be placed on display on the third floor of the Administration Building
"The posters are beautiful," said Prof. W. A. Griffith, of the department and drawing and drawing, "and every student should make it a point to see them."

Miss Hazel Dratt discovered the other day that The Mother's League of Lawrence had worked successfully for a same Fourth. She tried in vain at all the stores in town to get a small innocent, toy pistol and a box of caps. Determined to have an effective starter for the tub races in the rocation party, she met the gym, she sent to Kansas City for the little popping machine, and is now able to defend her home, life, and property.
Bob Reed, '16 College, spent Saturday and Sunday at the Pi Kappa Alpha house in Manhattan.
There are perhaps twenty men in the University who are able to pass the test for junior membership, and many of them who can pass the senior examination.
In addition to these events, the candidate must turn a forward hand-spring, walk on his hands for ten seconds, on his feet for four feet high, and of be erect of carve.
Sigma Delta Pei is national in character, not local. Chapters have been installed in several schools of the "Big Nine" and others of the larger conferences. There is no chapel or gymnasium; the one to be installed at the University sometime in the near future is to be the first one in the state.
Lois Risinger, '19 Fine Arts, and Viola Jones, '17 Fine Arts, spent Saturday and Sunday in Topeka.
Arthur T. Sewell, '19 Engineer,
spent Saturday and Sunday at his
home in Garnett.
The time of the tryouts has not been definitely set but due notice will be given in the Kansan. Every K. U. man is invited to try out for membership in the new honorary organization.
A class in chemistry had a good laugh the other day when Ray Hargett, who is not a freshman but a junian, "bit" on an old "gag." One of the students store room to obtain a store-stretcher. George King, the store-keeper then had to explain that bottle stretches were in the same class stretches, and the printers' type lines, in other words, "there's no such animal."
ARRANGE SCHOOL SURVEY
Plan Four Year Investigation of City Institutions
A continuous, uniform school survey, which will extend over a period of four years, is being planned for the schools of Kansas under the supervision of the Kansas School of Education. It is the aim of those in charge to interest all the schools of the state in the plan so that reliable figures on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the schools and their weaknesses may be worked out on a comparative basis.
The aim of the survey is to determine the efficiency of the school; to supplement the work already done under the direction of the Bureau of Educational Measurements and Standards at Emporia; determine the teachers; number of months in college; teach hours in professional courses; attendance at summer schools; whether high school education was obtained in the same city in which they are now employed; experience and salary.
IDEA STARTED HERE
On account of the illness of his little son, Prof. R. A. Schwegler is not meeting his classes this week.
Send the Daily Kansan home to the folks.
The idea originated at the recent Schoolmen's conference here when a meeting was held for that purpose. The committee in charge met last Saturday at Topeka and plans of procedure were discussed. Dean Kelly is chairman of the committee. The other members are Superintendent M. E. Burson, President J. H. Prentice, Principal L. A. Lowther, of Emporia; Principal A. J. Stout, of Topeka.
While the plans are still largely in the making Dean Kelly expects the majority of the school superintendents of the state to take up the survey.

Carl Jolliffe, 17 College, who was on the Hill last year, writes to a friend here that he has eighty-three perfectly good hours of K. U. credit and seven more than he thinks that he is good for at least seven more, so that when he comes back next year he can graduate with his class. Jolliffe studied on the Hill he has covered practically the same week as if he had been here three years
L. B. Flinton, of Kansas City, spent L. B. Flinton, of Kansas City, spent at the Pai Pal hotel. Flinton was a freshman at Hilliard and he be back next year again with a winter's experience in the West Indies and Central America in the interval.

K. U. Chemists to Urbana

The sessions will begin Tuesday, April 18, and will last four days. Those who will represent the University are, Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, Prof. H. P. Cady, Dean L. E. Sayre, Prof. W. A. Whitaker, Prof. F. B. Dains, and F. W. Wruckmiller.
Florence Butler, '19 College, went to Kansas City Monday evening to see Pavlowa in the opera, "The Love of Three Kings."
In spite of the fact that Kansas-Colorado-Oklahoma debaters settled the question of retaining the Philippine Islands, it seems that Congress is going to give them their independence anyway. Now, that Kansas has shown that inter-collegiate athletics should be retained by American colleges and universities, who will rise up and say that we must abandon them?
How badly poor K. U. does need some new buildings—particularly an auditorium—dawned upon a couple of upper classmen in the gym the other day when they couldn't find even a place in which to play catch with the medicine ball. The main floor was filled with the first floor, full of a freshman class, and even the running track and the wrestling room were locked. There remained the alternative of playing leap-frog in the lower hallway.
Miss Ruth Lambertson, of Efingham, was in Lawrence, last week end visiting friends in the University and in Lawrence.
