GRIGG'S
HOW THEY SMOKE
If you're feeling blue some night, and the fellows have gone off and left you to brood on your troubles with the "most unreasonable prof." just like that in the old days, you won't be there fifteen minutes before one of the men you most wanted to see will come along; or it is more than possible that the dear professor himself will be cooperating with him, or perhaps but just go and see for yourself.
Long after a K. U. man has deserted his class room theory for the actual practice of life, he retains memories of Griggs's. No K. U. man's edukiess of Griggs. So far as he is concerned, so far as the extra curriculum part of it is concerned, at any rate.
Few of the students who put a polish on their academic training at Grigg's, know the history of that popular institution. It really started in 1895, as the cigar store of F. D. Brooks, Mr. Brooks sold out to John Harding, his clerk. Harding ran the store for a time under the name of "The Sign of the Turk," the title being derived from the large wooden Turk which stood in front of the store. He then managed to charge himself. In 1907 Mr. Ober sold to J. R. Grigas, and a new era for the business was started.
THE LAWS STARTED '1
When Mr. Grigsgs bought the place it was a hard-won hang-out for the festive Laws. The steps of Green Hall weren't in operation then, and the Laws simply had to have some place to congregate and discuss weighty class-room topics. Much of the conversation was fact that Harding continued to manage the place,—for Uncle Jimmy's boys were strong for him.
THE LAWS STARTED IT
THE ENGINEERS KEPT IT UP
In 1910 Mr. Griggs moved from the room now occupied by Ecke's Flower Shop, into the present situation, one door south. He considerably enlarged the space of the office, a line of magazines. About this time the Engineers began to frequent the place, being perhaps, forced to admit that what was good enough for a Law was good enough for them.
THE ENGINEERS KEP' IT UP
AND NOW WE'RE ALL DOING IT
In August 1910, A. L. Griggs, the present proprietor, came to Lawrence from St. Joseph, Mo., to take charge of the establishment. He immediately began to enlarge the activities of the store, paying special attention to the periodical business.
Mr. Griggs has evolved several business theories that have worked well in practice since he assumed the management of the store.
"Don't have any vacant wall space, and don't have the aisles too large," he says, "people will not come in if the place looks bare.
"be original, if you can, and don't have, have just an ordinary line of goods."
"Get people to talk about your window displays, but don't fix your window so that the goods inside the store shows from the street."
On these principles he has built up one of the most popular stores in town. His magazine has grown enormously, until he supplies more than twice as many periodicals as the newspaper, and has created a complete line of smoker's articles, and is constantly striving after the newest and most original.
While Mr. Griggs is a firm believer in advertising, he says his most efficient ads are distributed by word of mouth, by students who have visited his place and liked the treatment they received. The best ads are worthless if they aren't backed by an effective delivery of the goods.
At present there is no more popular resort in Lawrence than 827 Massachusetts. The smoking room is usually well filled, and many a football victory has been hashed over, and rewon there. Perhaps attendance dwindles a little before quitters, but the team's allure for the official post-mortem, turns the "cold grey dawn of the morning after" into a wake that is one of the rewards of those melancholy days when they come—and go.

"Now, children," says the teacher. "If twenty-five hundred K. U. students each spend four hundred dollars a year in Lawrence, how much do they
"One million dollars," answers the bright pencil.
And the expenses of the average student are about four hundred dollars, according to statistics gathered by the National Center for the more much, as much as a thousand; some spend less. Here is the expense account, for last year, of a student who is steward of a club and earns his salary in large clothing and incidental account:
Room rent. . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 24.
Board. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12.

$180
Total
When the $60 which the student would have spent for board is added, the total is $240. One student who boarded at a "co-op club," getting his board for $3.25 a week, last year worked at the co-op club; work; another student spent $297 on the semester; another $198; one who makes all his board spent $100.
Expenses at the University of Kansas are neither extremely high or extremely low as compared with those of other universities. Expenses at the University of Oregon are as low as $225 a year but the lowest estimate at Columbia is about $700 a year.
"START A SAVINGS ACCOUNT"
SAY THRIFT DAY ADVISORS
Today is Thrift Day for the whole American nation. It is the day designated by the American Bankers' Association as an opportunity time to start saving money. The plan was originated this year by a Philadelphia bank organized in the United States, the first one to be chartered under the national bank system and it was announced the earliest to make savings-bank and trust company fields.
While statistics show that the American nation heads the list for wealth, they also show that America is far down the line when it comes to saving wealth. Thrift Day has not been instituted for personal benefits alone; it has a national significance, also. The more people in the United States hands, the more she will be able to loan to other nations. This alone is of sufficient importance to encourage savings.
Certain days have been set aside for Mothers' Day, Flag Day, Children's Day, and today, February 3, has been added as Thrift Day. In Lahore, in late lance, for the past week, big Thrift Day placards have been displayed.
K. U. STUDENTS WILL HEAR Y. M. SPEAKERS
The second biennial meeting of the state convention of the Young Mens' Christian Association will be held February 3 to 6 in Kansas City, Kansas. Many of the leading Y. M. A. men in the University will attend.
Dr. Allen A. Stockade, known as the "Pitching Parson," will give five talks. Dr. Geo J. Fisher, international secretary; Dr. John Brown, another international secretary, and Arthur Cotton, of the international high school department, will speak before the whole convention. Harry Heinzmann, who recently returned from three months on the flying line with his wife, will speak and Goodheart, superintendent of the Sunshine Rescue Mission, of Denver will tell of his rise from a "down and outer."
The following men will go from K. U.; Benjamin Bultzer, Rex Miller, L. A. Walworth, Ed Todd, Harry Harlan, Lester Evans, Oscar Brown, E. F. Price, Ewart Plank, F. W. Grammp, Cecil Haugen, W. D. Steinhauer, Chas. Sloan, John Calene, and Hugo Wedell.
The students at Throop College in Pasadena, California, blazed a mammoth "T" in the side of Mr. Wilson by clearing off the vegetation in the shape of the letter. The engineering corps of the school supervised the eighty-five students who did the work in one day. The letter is three hundred feet in height and may be seen from the San Gabriel valley and the view points in Los Angeles.

Dustin Farnum in Paramount Pictures
PARAMOUNT Pictures were the first to feature stage stars in motion pictures. They were purposely planned to set a new quality standard in motion pictures — high above the blood- and thunder type of the nickelodeon days and the mediocre "movie" shows which sprang up like toadstools.
And Paramount Pictures have succeeded in changing the character of programs presented by thousands of the better class of theatres throughout the country.
Following closely the efforts of the Paramount Corporation to furnish better pictures came the announcement that the Bowersock Theatre, a playhouse offering practically every convenience and pleasure of an up-to-date house, would devote their dark nights to Paramount pictures.
