There is only one remedy,

Then why delay?
If your hair is dry and brittle, if it combs out freely, and falls when rumpled you are losing the oil from the scalp through the broken ends of the strands.

"GIVE FULL MEASURE"
That Motto, Plus Organization and Buying Power Explains Success of Kress Stores
Braid straw hats for two or three dollars, did you say? Get them at the Kress store for fifty cents.—Do you pay twenty-five cents for bath towels? The Kress store has real life size ones for ten cents. Fine candy coasts for five cents. Smoky coated hangers, two for five cents; smoked glass spectacles, ten each a pair.
Poor quality? Decidedly no. The Kress stores always place quality before price. Their stock is bought from manufacturers of standard equipment or organization and large scale buying that makes such bargains possible.
The perfect Kress organization is seen in the local store. Goods are displayed on counters conveniently arranged, with broad aisles between Each sales girl has a counter with a cash register. And each customer she will sell you no more. Nearly every counter has a cash register. The Kress stores are the second largest users of cash registers in the world. There are twelve in the Lawn store and some of the biggest stores have over three hundred of them.
All of the 150 Kress stores are under one management, which has headquarters in New York. It is here that all orders for goods from the stores are sent. The managers of stores are trained in the business from the bottom up. They begin by handling boxes in the warehouses.
The makeup of all the stores is essentially the same. There are charts showing where each article shall be placed in the stock room. Counters and fixtures are placed in the same position in every store and they are in that respect as alike as 150 peas. A manager can be called from one store to another to manage of another on the shortest notice, and he hardly knows he has moved.
However, the managers order whatever goods they think the locality will buy; they are not compelled to take whatever the Company sends them. The Company sends out travel representatives who inspect the stores and suggest improvements to the managers.
The buying power of a concern which operates 150 stores is tremendous. For instance, if each store uses fifty dozen of an article in a season, it can afford to buy every item by the Company. The largest factories in the world try to get the Kress orders. Three thousand artificial flower firms showed samples to the Kress Company last spring. Orders were taken from only eight of them.
Goods are ordered direct from manufacturers; not from jobbers. The Company keeps buyers all through Europe, even now during the war. At the beginning of the war the Company bought its own hosiery dye—Goldenrod. Now they can supply superior dye to the makers of Kress hosiery. The Company is the largest importer of laces in the United States.
"The business is one great romance to me," said S. J. Bedsoe, manager of the Lawrence store. "About twenty-seven years ago, S. H. Kress started business with one little store in Memphis, Tennessee. Today his chain of stores extends throughout the South and West. There is romance in that;—One of our buyers in France was married last year." The romance—and there is romance too in the daily work of the business. The work is not killing although there is no loafing to it. Our organization makes the store run itself; I could leave for a week and when I came back the store would be running as well as if I had been here. My office work takes only about two minutes a day. I am sure the worker would have the Company did not want to come back.
"We follow several principles in business practice, which largely account for the growth of the Kress company. We never expect to be successful for very long ways. we expect a cussing for what we do wrong. we say that there is no time like the present; if a thing should be done today, it is done today. Criticism in any department must be constructive; not destructive. If a report is submitted to a department be changed in this store, he must give a reason for the change.
article who refuses to buy on the ground that the quality is poor. He may have other reasons but he never doubts that we are offering him his money's worth, and then some. The people have come to know that anything they get at a Kress store is what it is said to be."
HOW KRESS MAKES GOOD
"It is our efficiency in organization and our great buying power that enable us to give such bargains. Quality always comes first. Nobody ever comes into a Kress store to look at an
HOW KRESS MAKES GOOD
WAR AFFECTS STUDENTS
Kansans Feel Effect of War in Increased Price of Paper
It again becomes necessary for students of the University of Kansas to help foot the bill for the war. First it was the Belgians, then the Germans; now it is a rise in the price of paper which students have to meet.
Where the student is affected most in the cost of note paper, that which is used in laboratory work is often more expensive. The price has been boosted much higher but the superintendent of the department of journalism press, has evolved a plan to overcome this disadvantage. He has charge of all it students and arranged to sell it to students at the old price, but with a few sheets less.
The cause of this sudden soaring of such a common article is probably due to the unsettled conditions regarding trade. A large part of the dyes used in the manufacture of paper comes from Germany, and安德森公司 so effective, it is next to impossible to secure the right coloring. This also accounts for the fact that colored paper is higher than white.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The Daily Kansan is paying about twenty-five cents a day more for paper now than at the beginning of the war. Another item is that of printing ink, the cost of which has increased materially, as Germany leads the world in the output of this product.

On Wednesday of last week for the second time in history the vice-president of the United States cast the deciding vote when the Senate was tied to President John F. Kennedy and had to do with the future of the Philippine Islands. On Feb. 14, 1899 Vice-president Hobart voted "no" when the senate stood 29 to 29 on a bill which would allow the president to visit when the islands had a suitable government to handle themselves. The bill Wednesday was a similar bill and provided that steps be taken for President Kennedy to visit in 1921. The vote was 41 to 41 when Vice-president Marshall voted "yes."
A new variety of bird has been discovered by the ornithology class, which has been named the pulley bird. He was born on Monday, day this week, Oscar Browne, one of the students in the class, discovered it on the wire across the river where the new bridge is being built. He pointed out that the bridge, Douthitt, gravely, "is a new variety, I have never seen one perched on a telegraph wire before. It’s what is known as the pulley bird." The class focused their glasses. The sulley bird was feathered and he was left there by the engineers who are making the new bridge.
Prof. A. J. Boynton is more interested in fair co-eds than he would care to admit. Last Thursday morning he was his co-eds' minutes while he was helping a pretty

An attempt to produce black mustard seed oil by a cheaper process than is now used is the subject of experiments which are being made by E. A. White, formerly mayor of the Kansas City, Kansas high school. At the present time, black mustard oil costs from $15 to $20 a pound, but Mr. White believes he can reduce this figure considerably. He has also used in making mustard plasters and in other medicinal preparations.
An examination of several hundreds of birds' stomachs captured in the south eastern part of the state has been started by Scott Griesa, an advanced student in the department of entomology at Kansas University, under the direction of Prof. Bennett M. Allen, head of the department. These birds were captured last summer by three students working for the University of Kansas Biological Survey. Students examined the stomachs of birds, reptiles and mammals.
Examination of the stomach is being made for the purpose of determining the economic importance of birds in native active amounts of grain and insects that the birds eat. The statistics that are secured in this manner will form the basis of the state reports that are to be sent out to every county.
Hundreds of high school teachers, principals and superintendents from all parts of the state will meet at the University of Kansas March 17 and 18 to attend the Thirteenth Annual High School Conference.
Several leading educators will be on the program including such men as the president of the university of Illinois, Jesse B. Davis, of the Grand Rapids, Mich., high school; L.C. Marshall, dean college of commerce, University of Chicago; President of Normal; H.B. Wilson of Topka; J.F. Hughes, Chanute; H.P. Study, Neodeha; W.D. Ross, state superintendent; Brown, state inspector of high schools.
Among the subjects to be discussed are the scientific movement in education, vocational guidance as a function in the public schools, junior high school, high school graduate courses, and departmental round tables for the discussion of the various problems of the high school teachers.

HEARTENING MUSIC
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY evenings at 7 o'clock mission study classes in the parish of the church.
We need more of it, and more, and again more. We need music that claps an arm over the shoulder of a tired man and swings him into an easier stride; music that surprises the heart of a world in which the world is as dull and shabby as his own neglected shoes; music that says rousing things in a man's own language.
One longs to seize upon some young composer and tell him to put every sunny day and beckoning road he had ever met, into a march that would make people swing ahead to a splendid rhythm. Not a martin March, but a trumpet March, and then into a new, exhilarating sense of mental release and bodily freedom.
Let the phonographs play it and the people hear it on their way to and from work, and other tunes that dance instead of staggering, that do not mistake noisiness for merriment.

DEBATING SQUADS SKIRMISH
THREE TIMES EACH WEEK
The question for the triangular debate with Colorado and Oklahoma will be: "Resolved: That the United States will play in the Philippines." The local affirmative team will argue here on the night of March 10 with the Colorado team and the negative will go to Norman to work on the question. It is same night. There are ten men working on the question, from whom six will be chosen. Meetings are being held regularly three times a week with sides of the question are discussed.
A sample of copper sulphate deposit was received today from the Borro Mountain Copper Company of Tyrone, New Mexico, by the Union Pacific Minerals Kaffer, 11, cut the piece of log bearing the deposit from the mine timbers. The water seeping through the copper bearing ores the copper and formed blue crystals, thus enabling in the preservation of the wood.
The date of the Missouri debate has not been definitely set but will come about the first week in April, and will be held here. The question will be: “Resolved? That intercollegiate basketball is abolished.” Kansas has the negative answer; there are four men working on this question, from whom three will be chosen.
Ordinally musicians are very fond of telling flattering incidents which have happened in connection with their work, but only rarely does one hear a singer tell himself. However, Dean Harold L. Butler of the department of music at the University of Kansas takes delight in repeating the comment which describes a small boy made after hearing the deserving at a University gathering recently.
Dean Butler had sung his favorite, "Danny Deer" and on the way home the small son gave his opinion of the program. "I liked the boys who came out in a row and sang about the Jay-Z show," he said. The fellow who sang about them hanging a man sounded just like that broken record on our Vivicola."
