Hair Cutting the Way You Want It Done
Remember the time the barber cut your hair "too high" and clipped too much off the top? You told him to "trim it."
When you say "hair-cut" in our shop we ask you how you want it cut. We use our knowledge of barbering to please you and we don't mind doing the kind of work that you ask for, not the kind of work that we want to do.
Certain heads, certain faces need different cuts. We know what style of a cut is best in every case. This is more than haircuts. It's SERVICE. As you pass by the shop tomorrow remember that your hair needs a cut.

BUREAU HELPS FIND JOBS
Large Demand for K. U. Graduates to Fill Positions
"This new employment bureau about which there has been so much talk is nothing more or less than the one which has been here under my supervision for the last twelve years," said Prof. W. H. Johnson, director of the University bureau of appointments yesterday. "We are most concerned with other colleges who ask us to help them in securing positions. We are not anxious to place those students who wish to work only a year or two. Those men who desire a permanent position are the ones the businessmen are after. If he is willing to work his way up, there are plenty of opportunities for a fellow who is not afraid of starting in at the bottom for a small salary."
Professor Johnson said that nearly every day he receives letters from firms all through the West, asking for materials. One firm from Chicago took seven K. U., graduates, all of whom are now making good. Nearly a third of the one hundred and fifty or two letters received were placed each year are K. U. men.
The main object of this bureau is to help students to determine what they want to take up for their life work, and place them in a position to succeed. They learn ambitions. Professor Johnson hopes soon to install a more complete filing and reference system, whereby he can tell at a glance what places to recommend to the graduate looking for a job. On the other hand, he wants students just what the character and ability of his prospective employee are.
Prof. W. H. M. McKeever, of the child welfare department, will be in Muscotah tomorrow organizing that town for membership in the State Child Welfare contest. He will deliver several addresses during the contest. He will be in Hulustead and organize that town for the contest.

Plain Tales from the Hill
"The Hague" went to the Battle Cry of Peace yesterday.
One pretty K. U. librarian is a strong advocate of the preparedness policy. She is kept continually on the defense by breaking and refusing "dates" with the many, many students that come to study near her desk.

SIX WEEKS OF REST.
It is hoped by many a faculty man that the ground hog and the squirrel are the one and the same thing.
Henry Maloy reports that he now has begun the reading of "high brow" literature, but there is one fraternity on the Hill which ought to have helped in keeping for the holding of first honors in the reading of the so named literature. Even the quizzes gave way before the thirst of classic literature. The work of Guy de Maupassant held first place and of Guy de Maupassant held first place on fraternity's reading shelf.
It has been a question among one set of K. U. students as to why their professor wears an old slouch hat and not a button-down shirt at his home. To rival the professor one student who comes from a "high brow" Missouri home not only wears a similar hat, but also the most unremarkable one. The distinguished short-stemmed cob pipe.
Because of the continued cold spell a number of students who have here-to-fore taken their "between-class smokes" on the steps of one of the basement rooms within and fitted up one of the basement rooms for a smoking place.
There was an unusual number of Saturday Evening Posts sold this week because of the attractive front page cover drawn by Haskell Coffin. A calendar that appeared recently carried an illustration by this same artist, published by many students that there was a close resemblance between the calendar face and a certain freshman woman student.
One K. U. student dame carries a gavel as evidence between militiaman and preparer.
The law students have for several years maintained a book exchange for the benefit of those enrolled in the School of Law. The faculty each year appoints two members of the senate to review all books and do all their buying and selling of books, other than private exchanges, through the two appointed students.
Jack Moffat, a senior from Arkansas City, was demonstrating for the enjoyment of a group of his fellow Laws yesterday the peculiar fall he had witnessed; when, to his chagrin, he repeated the identical fall. He holds however, that it was merely a realistic imitation.
Three freshmen wandered unwarned into the lower regions of the Museum yesterday where some fifty students in anatomy were at work in the dissecting room. As the three students were moving along the "Rue Morgue" a general murmuring arose among the ranks of the anatomy students. Quitely, one by one, the fifty filed out of the room and into the hall. Presently one of the embryo medics reappeared with a "long-Tom" and informed the three students that the Toms" were waiting in the hall and on the stairway. The three visiting freshmen were escorted to the outer regions of the building a la gauntlet.

Others prefer the egg malted milk, but such orders usually come from men who have merely taken a polite way of gratifying in public their boyhood habits.

Sophomores to Meet K. C. Polytechnic In First Intercollegiate Basketball Game
The first basketball game ever played by K. U. women against another college is scheduled for Thursday evening at 7:15 when the Kansas City Polytechnic women meet the Oklahoma team in Robinson gymnasium.
"I have coached many basketball teams," commented Miss Hazel Pratt, "but I have never had as fast a bunch as these sophomore women. They are certainly skillful and in all probability they will be great players." If the women here want to see a live game of girls' basketball now is their chance.
"The floor will not be divided in three sections, as is frequently the case, but according to the newer ruling the court will be separated in halves with the centers running all over the field. This tends to make game quicker and more skillful, and others think, much more interesting.
"Every K. U., woman, especially those belonging to the Women's Athletic Association, should turn out to this event to encourage our own squad and to show courtesy to the visiting team.
"The time, 7:15, will give the stuious ample time to prepare their lessons after the game. The admission fee of ten cents will go to make up the first fund of the "women" group. The game will certainly be exciting if the Polytechnic women show up in as good form as I expect the sophomores to show."
CANKER WORM CHECKED
Weather and Wrapping of Trees Will Prevent Work of Insects
The ascent of the canker worm up the elm trees has been checked by the cold weather and sheet of the past wek. Now is the best time to do Prof. S. J. Huntler, for the wrapping of all trees, especially elms.
Workmen have begun to wrap the trees on the campus and the department of entomology hopes that the residents of the city will take the same precautions as it is the only way of overcoming this pest.
The canker-worm is possibly the only insect that has been affected by the heavy coating of ice which now covers everything. The reason for this is that the worm comes above the ground to lay its eggs about this time each year and in so doing many may have been destroyed.
"We cannot tell exactly to what extent they have been affected," said Prof. J. S. Hunter. "It is not likely that the insects have been killed, because they are impervious to the cold unless the change of temperature be sudden. Practically all the insects now in the ground are so damaged that no harm them unless they are too suddenly frozen or are thawed out too rapidly in the spring. So far the trees have not been injured."

George Strothers Seriously Wounded In Leg When Shotgun Exploded
George B. Strothers, of Kansas City, a senior lawyer, for the last three consecutive years a football "KM" man, was shot in the thigh of his left leg yesterday afternoon when a shogun caught in a doorway through which he was passing, and accidentally ploped himself on the floor at the campus of Prof. H. W. Humble, west of the campus, where Mr. and Mrs. Strothers are living.
Mrs. Strothers sent word immediately to the University Hospital, and while an automobile was coming for him, he heard about a fire fifteen minutes to prevent loss of blood.
Strothers had been out in the back yard shooting at a rabbit. Coming into the house, the gun caught in the door, fell, and exploded. The charge hit him in the fleshiest part of his leg, and while it tore away about five pounds of flesh, fortunately did not shatter the bone.
University doctors said that Strothers would be confined to bed for a con-
sidereal time, but would very probably recover full use of his leg. He reated easily last night. His father, Sam Strothers, is in town.
