SHORT QUART IN KANSAS
Jayhawker Housewife Buys Her Berries Liquid Measure—and Loses
When a dry commodity is sold in a liquid quart measure.
When does the Kansas housewife get worsted?
When is a quart not a quart?
When she buys berries grown and packed in Kansas and pays as much for them as she does for those shipped in from any of the neighboring states.
Kansas and New Mexico are the only states in the Union which legalize the liquid measure for dry commodities. And New Mexico is not to blame for her error. She copied from Kansas.
In 1909, the voice of the people was heard in the Kansas legislature and a law was passed requiring that the boxes in which berries were sold to Kansas purchasers should measure up to the standard dry quart or pint. In 1927, the Kansas law making of 1011 was a measure making it legal to use the liquid measure.
In Kansas, home-grown berries may be packed in the liquid measure box without stamping, but when they are shipped to other states, they have to be marked not only as to the "supposed" amount, but as to the kind of measure. If they are shipped to Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, New York, Idaho, sin Massachusetts, New Jersey or any of fifteen middle western states, the grocer has to repack them in dry quart measures before he can sell them.
The liquid quart contains fifty-seven and three-fourths cubic inches, while the dry quart contains sixty-seven and three-fourths cubic inches. Although it is illegal to sell onion sets, cranberries and cherries from liquid measures, it is being done in Kansas every day, and, Kansas consumers do those in other states in the Union.

Extension Division Reports : Large Increased Enrollment
A report compiled by the Correspondence Study Department of the University Extension Division covering the six months period just passed in July included 437 enrollments of 28.6 per cent over the enrolments for the corresponding period of last year. The period from July to December, inclusive, in 1914 total of 437 enrolments. The same period in 1916 shows 562 enrolments.
"Among those enrolled as correspondence students is a "Blue Jacket," a Sister of Charity, and we received the letter of recommendation in Florida who wanted to do work in the Graduate School, but he was, necessarily, refused. Eight different states, besides Kansas, are representing the students in this department."
Prof. H, G. Ingham, secretary of the department, says that English is by far the most popular course. Education, mathematics, German, and the Romance Languages follow in the order named. Spanish I is popular.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
"The majority of the students enrolled in the Correspondence Study Department," said Professor Ingham, "are doing the work for credit, but they are not benefit only, and still others are taking the work because it will serve a practical, and immediate need. "For instance," he said, as he handed over a letter, "this man is leaving the farm to begin his business. He has had his high school work, but he needs some practical, business training. He has put his case up to us, and we are able to help him. Many graduate students apply for a continued Mr. Ingham, but work in the Graduate School is offered."
PROTECT CHILDREN
Health Speaker Says Proper Care Now Will Produce Stronger Race
"If the American people expect to be ready for a national crisis, they must come to a more significant realization of the need of proper care of the children and youth of the country." That was the keynote of an address given tonight to University of Kansas students at the tapestry of the Unitarian church by Dr. Lydia Allen DeVilbiss, director of the division of child hygiene of the Kansas State Board of Health, with orffices at Topeka.
"Our whole health problem must be solved through the child," said the speaker. "Kansas children today will be Kansas leaders in the next fifty years, and we are so excited to carry out the policies we have outlined and to pilot Kansas to a steady, progressive growth, we must give our attention to the child's health now. Anything that concerns the child, concerns everybody, and, by appeal to the public, one naturally appeals for the health of the whole community."
Dr. DeVibilis then explained that baby hygiene is not merely a matter of clean bottles and clothes, but concerns the child's care from the time he is born into this world until he is ready to take his place as a citizen of the country. She also mentions how she dresses in black these days. "Disease styles change as often as do fashion," she said, in conclusion. "The frail woman used to be attractive twenty years ago, but she is not now. She is merely a subject for laboratory equipment. In order that the future generation may be healthy and than their parents will be, she is necessary that the child today receive the best possible care. Many people object to the work on the grounds that a mother is more competent to take care of her child than anyone else. There is no question about that. But, if we can bring to that woman the experience of thousands of others that she would not be so sneered at. The all work in child hygiene of the country looks forward to a stronger race as a result of stronger mothers and fathers and more advantageous environment."

COMMONS A SOLUTION
For Reports of Merchants' Week
Just like a page from a Kipipling story reads a letter received by Director F. R. Hamilton of the University of Kansas. The letter, which comes from India, had to first pass through India and the censors. Here it is in full:
I should esteem it a great favour if you would kindly arrange to send me, for the information of the Committee, a copy of each of the lectures delivered at the Merchants' Week held at the University of Kansas, Law School, and University of Utah, under the auspices of the University Extension Division.

University of Kansas,
The University has two thousand eight hundred and ninety-six sons and daughters of the state enrolled this year, the student body itself, both in university organization, bearing a stifling resemblance to a Kansas city of 3,000.

Irving Bachelere, who spoke in Fraser Hall Tuesday afternoon, is a trustee of St. Lawrence University in upper New York, and has more than a speaking acquaintance with the student problem of a university student who is trying to solve it that M. Bachelere is trying to solve.
"I believe I know of something that will turn fraternity spirit into school spirit." Mr. Baccheller spoke thoughtfully and confidently. "The fraternity spirit, in our university at least, is something of a problem, and I have to evolve a plan which will change this feeling into a university spirit.
"WOULD SOLIDIFY STUDENTS"
"Would somebody students
"I believe that a big club where all the men could gather would eliminate all friction. There it would make no difference whether a man was a barb or a Greek. They would all meet on common ground, and understanding and unity would come of their discussions in which every phase of college life would have a hearing."
As he pictured his ideal, sometimes vaguely, sometimes definitely, Mr. Bachelier puffed a ciner and his eyes flashed with enthusiasm alternately.
HOW DOES THIS SOUND?
"In this great commons, as you might call it, I would have billiard rooms, card rooms, a reading room and rooms for any enjoyable entertainment. Then, too, there should be a great hall where the students could hold their dances and entertainments; they would be able to stage their plays. A cuisine ought to be in the building to prepare lunches or banquets.
"But to be a success, my plan would have to be administered by a very good business man, assisted probably by a council of the ablest students in our country. The alumn really are the people to promote the plan and back it."
Women To Choose Vocations

PINKY WINGERT GOES TO ASSOCIATED PRESS
The following paragraph appeared on Son Seng's thought<sup>4</sup> column of the TOMS magazine.
"The reporter who wrote the story about "Pinky" Wingert for the evening paper did a good job of it and far be it from us to say that Pinky deserved any less than he got. The only trouble is that there is nothing left to say for George Washington and Abraham Lincoln."
The story referred to is the one that appeared in a recent issue of the Topeka State Journal and which he wrote to John S. Hancock in paper to go with the Associated Press and also spoke of "Pinky's" work as a newspaper man.
Wingert has been in the newspaper game for some time. He started on the Capitol when he was attending high school in Topeka. When he came to the University he acted as Lawrence correspondent
for the Capitol and also was connected with the Daily Kansan. He finished his work here in 15. He then went to Kent for State. Then, having till January first when he went to Kansas City with the A. P.
