Prof. Arthur Mitchell's eight year old son belonged recently to a neighborhood skating club. The club may have been a roller skating club or that was of minor importance to the philosopher's son. He had been given $1.25 by his brother, gifts from the account he checked upon the young son heard the story of the cold and needy Belgian boys and girls. In the forenoon he pledged fifty cents of his $1.25 toward a relief fund. Other members of the club added their nickels, and dimes and pennies. By noon young Mitchell had raised his donation to "six-bits" and by night the entire account had been funded the Belgian brothers. The skating club is no more. It now parades under the title of the War Relief Club of West Sixth Street.

And in Addition, Euselio Barba,
a Filipino, Does Outside
Work
HE CARRIES 29 HOURS STORY OF THE KANSAN
ENROLLED IN LAW SCHOOL
Found Medicine Distasteful, so
Became Cunim Jim's Disciple
Twenty-four hours of law, five hours of French, outside work from 1 to 3 o'clock, study from 8 until 12 at night and back at the grind at 4 o'clock in the morning is the schedule set by Eusello Harpa, middle law, from Mahlahi Philippine Island, where Harpa is trying, he shows the Americans that his people are not as dull as they are thought to be.
"When I was home I did not realize what you people thought about us," Barbara said, "You see I went to common school for about four years and then I went to another school ordered up over two years of college. All the way through I was taught how much Americans knew so, of course, I supposed you were taught the right things about us. Since I came over I found people that were so ignorant they did not know that you had clothes or territory. I have come that University to help show them their mistake."
DISCIPLE OF UNICLE JIMMIE
Barba came to this country a year and a half ago and by chance found a job. Being interested in medicine he hunted up Dr. Mervin Sudler, Associate Dean of the School of Medicine. A few trips to the dissecting rooms convinced Barba that he could be dropped that line and took up work in "Uncle Jimmy's" school. This he found more to his liking and his experience in government work in the Islands, where he had been employed for two half years, helped him to get started.
"One thing that seems a little hard is that I cannot practice when I get back," said Barba, "I have been taking common law this year knowing all the rules; but the same as ours, common law tells me from nine months to a year to learn the differences and enter practice after I get to Manila. I may never—what is it you call it—hang out a shingle. I hope to go back with the government, since we see 900 million when left, that place was filled as soon as I determined to study in America."
SPEAKS THREE LANGUAGE
Barba speaks Spanish, Japanese,
English and his own native dialect
and is now determined to learn
French and perhaps German.
His return trip next year, will be
in Europe if nothing interferes with his plans and if possible
he wants to speak the language of
most of the countries he passes
through.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Arthur Vogel, a special law student formerly of Leavenworth, has had much trouble from a wound on the foot caused during the senior class football practice. "Dutch" received only a slight scratch upon the foot but beeped long while poisoning developed. Vogel spent most of last week at his home in Kansas City under the care of a
"Smiley" *Hutton*, a freshman in the College from Larkin, kept the fact that he had a birthday last week a secret from his fellow house rooms. A bright day the next morning a secret of早晚 yesterday and since the students that room at 123B Ohio street celebrate all birthdays, Hutton has a paddling awaiting him. The students say that the celebrating Pigs to Advertise" entitles the freshman to a second birthday celebration.
BETTER THAN BLACK COFFEE
Roy W. Graham, a freshman in the Fine Arts School from Walters, Oklahoma, has struck upon a novel way of burning the midnight-light cuz-weez of with painful victim indings of weary eyelids. Graham's receipt is simple but most effective. As the hours of the night draw on he opens the windows wide, places two iron dumb-bells at each end of the study table, and then wren out a pair of shoes with bed clothing. With fires out and windows wide Graham is ready for a marathon at cramming. The dumb-bells give him arm exercise from hour to hour. The cold air is the best tonic for keeping awake. When the dumb-bells longer resound they make a ludy in the rooms below known that Roy has ceased to cram and has returned to slumberland.
Some Plain Tales at times prove to be only hillside yarns.
Prof. Hopkins, Formerly of Department of Journalism Tells Early History of Paper

HAD GENERAL ELECTION
Editors Once Chosen by Student Body, Then Board Plan
Prof. E. M. Hopkins, who was acting director of the department of journalism from 1903 to .1005, at the time when the Kansan was recognized under the successive management of Wirt. G. McCarty, and Jesse R. Kayser, told about the change in administration of the Kansan.
"As to the early history of the Kansan," began Professor Hopkins, "I cannot make an accurate statement without taking much time to examine the files and records general the files and records student at the University, has passed through three stages. In the first stage it was published by anyone who had a certain amount of backing—financial, political, or otherwise. In the second it was published by a board elected by a general meeting of subscriber holders, a plan modelled such a student in the third it was published by a board chosen by a purely competitive system, under a plan modeled after that followed at leading colleges and substituted for the preceding plan at a similar meeting of subscriber-stockholders.
"Presumably the paper reflected student sentiment, each stage more than the last, since it was general dissatisfaction that led to the change in each stage. Some of the student body was satisfied, but some again it was representative of the University only in theory, until the third stage.
"The present plan has been modified several times, and I am not familiar with the details as at present administrated, but its essential principle of competition for Board promotion within the Board was adopted because preceding plans had given dissatisfaction, and because this plan had provided uniformity among the Boards. Few members of the Boards if any, had had any newspaper training. Under such conditions, the Kansan could not be a newspaper, its subscribers fell away; its advertising likewise declined, prompted the change, and for three years worked successfully for it.
DEPARTMENT HELPED
"The change was made immediately after the founding of the department of journalism, made possible by the aid and support it with. With this aid the change was practically impossible, for so completely had the student body lost interest in the work, that the mention of competition or positions on the Kansan was a joke. The department assumed voice in the matter but merely offered their services and assigned its students to duty on the Kansan, and on the city papers also.
"KANSAN HAS IMPROVED"
"It would be hard to say whether everyone was better satisfied, but at least the subscription list increased and that encouraged the reader to look at the paper became a daily. It was usually better written, better printed, and better balanced than before. It was not subject to political control, unless by such politicians as were willing to study three years to fit themselves also as competent newspaper men. I think of the things very comforting. Even now when I have occasional moments of doubt in regard to the Daily Kansan, I have only to think of its earlier days to be well satisfied with its present work."
The features of the coming quiz campaign are that firing will go on unrestrained after the signal has been given, that there will be few fatalities to many causalities, but the beauty of the whole is that no hospital service will be required. Every man for himself.
Mary Elizabeth Doub, the daughter of Charles O. Doub, was brought for a visit, by the mother, to the Daily Kansan office this week. "Papa" Doub is a student in the department of journalism and Mrs. Go'die Doub was also a student in the same department last year.

Daily Discoveries
Many students have found out that it pays to have their photographic work done where high quality and reasonable price are combined.
They have discovered that Loomas Quality work insures the best. That the personal work of Mr. Loomas on every photo brings results.
They have seen that for $3.00 they can have a dozen fine photos finished and a gloss print for the Jayhawker. Why pay more when you consider these facts?

In spite of the fact that the Daily Kansan has thrown out several thousand dollars worth of advertising during the past four years, its advertising columns have shown a steady increase, until they carry about $5,000 yearly. Last year
of advertising contracts from Kansas City and Topeka firms were refused because of the policy of the Kansan to work for better feeling between "town and gown."
Contracts from Velvet, Tuxedo and Prince Albert amounting to
$ 720
were refused again this year.
Other unclean and untrustworthy business—fake medicines, get-richquick propositions," $100 week jobs, no experience necessary," copy disgusting in character,--amounting,doubtless, to $100 a year has been thrown out.
We have attempted to merit the confidence of our readers in our advertising columns as well as our news and editorial columns.
We are gratified as we think we have succeeded.
