W. Griffith Produced by Mack Sennett CAN COAST ON LINKS But no Sledding on Streets of Lawrence Will be Allowed Too bad, Mr. Coaster; but unless you can satisfy your sliding proclivities by scooting down the rocky slopes of the golf links, you will have to forego the enjoyment of the finest sport that nature is able to offer. Last Tuesday night, the Lawrence city council decided that, in the interests of public safety and the welfare of the citizens of the city, coating the little creek with concrete before be prohibited. Mayor Francisco, however, has the authority in the matter and the prohibition or regulation of the coasting question will probably proceed from his office. after the McIntyre小学 students were seriously injured. Mayor Francisco and the University authorities conferred on the question of establishing a coating place on the campus so as to eliminate any chance that time it was suggested that a course be laid off, beginning at the northeast corner of the Administration building and running northeast over the little creek at the bottom of the Hill. The proposed course would have to be perfectly safe and would have cost only about five hundred dollars. John M. Shea, however, said today that the University is altogether too short of funds, to even consider the creation of a course this year. Mr. Shea's only consolation to those who feel that they have to slide is that they may possibly enjoy themselves on the golf links. No Decision On Degrees Encourage Women's Scholarship The granting of degrees in science and journalism by the College has not yet been decided by the college committee from the senate. Some members of the committee of which Dean Templin is chairman wrote to all the leading universities and colleges of the country asking their opinions on this matter. The committee were so varied that the committee is still working on the problem. Send the Daily Kansan home. In order to create more interest in raising the scholarship average of the sororities, the Women's Pan-Hellenic is offering a cup to the sorority making the highest average for the coming year. The cup will have the highest sorority score on it. The next year it will be passed on to the winner. This action was taken at the regular meeting Monday afternoon at the Chi Omega house. Hard Cider Too Strong Prof. W. S. Long, of the State Food Laboratory, returned Tuesday from Wichita where he testified in a suit brought by the State against certain retailers of hard cider. The prosecution was under prohibitory law and the State won the case, but since it was not proved that the beverage contained alcohol, they were only assessed costs. "The frequency with which one sees Phi Beta Kappa keys flashed from the vestments of inhabitants of Wall Street often raises conjecture in the mind of the observer as to just how many there are. One can stand at Broad and Wall Streets almost any day and never lose sight of the maternal brotherhood in the course of an hour. If the army of Phi Beta Kappas in the financial district were to hold a special meeting, no body of men in any country would represent more comprehensively the work which the American college performs in fitting men for all walks of life. The hoary belief that the scholar is seldom a man related to any other in any more direct argument than by an investigation of "the records of the honor men." —The Wall Street Journal.

Start Military Training Harvard has instituted military training, and war courses began January 3.

Enrollment in these courses will course deap at the college. One summer is spent at the training camp at Plattsburg. NEEDS EATING HOUSE University Should Have Restau rant on Hill Says Dean Templin's Secretary "I believe that the University, situated away up here as it is, should have a place where students may get lunch once a day at least," says Mrs. Charles Esterly, secretary of the university. "I stated that personally, she would be glad to eat lunch at such a place. As it is she has to walk a mile to her home every day. "I believe that from two to three hundred students would take advantage of this opportunity properly organized, a cafeteria here could be made self-sufficing," she continued. When asked what should be served and who should serve it Mrs. Esterly replied that only a simple but wholesome lunch should be served and some competent woman should be given an adequate salary for opening it. IT'S BOUND TO COME "It would be a mighty fine thing. It is just what we need and its bound to come," said Geo O. Foster. "The Board of Administration should establish it, under the management of the Home Economics Department," he replied when asked who should take the responsibility of the cafeteria. Mr. Foster says that the Board is in favor of such a "feed shop," but is checked in its actions on account of an adequate place to put it. The board has also considered until it was taken over by the Home Economics Department. NEED MONEY TO START Miss Elizabeth Sprague, head of the Home Economics Department, who has seen many successful cafeterias operated, says that she is not in doubt about her experience here, under the control of her department at least, unless it is put on a good financial basis with all the facilities and means necessary to run it in a creditable manner. She knows how to make such a difficult task at all if it has to be done in a cheap, haphazzard way. At the University of Illinois, which has one of the most successful cafeterias that I have ever seen, the highest salaried position in the entire Home Economics Department at its head," and Miss Sprague. PADDLING YOUR OWN CANOE No man is self-sufficient except in conceit. The merchant considers the wishes of his customers; the professional man, his clients; the newspaper, its readers and advertisers, and the private man, the wishes of the individuals making up his private world. As children, we insist that our business is nobody's, but our own. As adults, we merely change the subject when pressed too hard from without. But the public will have none of these subterfuges. You cannot paddle your name unless you observe the trend of the current to a certain extent. Our black walnut taffy is not only good, it is more than good. Wieden- meyer made the recipe. This does not mean that one must be serve or toady to get along in the company of others, but the merchant's policy altogether. The professional man cannot afford to listen to his clients talk all day. Nor does the newspaper shape its news columns to suit the advertiser. In short, the man who different personalities can be found than in some of our American homes. In short, it takes two things to paddle a canoe: first, the man to handle the oar and guide the boat; second, the acquiescence of the water that it may pass.—University, Missouri. Chew Up!

Frank Bibb In one town at least, in our republic, election day never causes an ache or a heartburn and never disappoints an office seeker. The name of this place is (or was) Nickeltown, Kansas. In the past year it may have disappeared, but still will have population is four, and there is a public office for every man in town. One of the boys has a fancy for the title of "Judge" and is regularly elected to the bench of the police court. To insure holding this judiciary post he keeps neutral on the mayoralty question. The other three sons for the position vote for himself; and the two losers lose little in any event, for they are guaranteed seats in the town council. "Then why is the poll not always a deadlock?" you ask. Because in Kansas the women vote. If any man in Jinyeville fails to be chosen, she goes to someone else's husband. Thus the most gallant man in town becomes its mayor. Jitneyville once was a thriving place, with aspiration to become the county seat of Woodson county. Now its population has dwindled away to households, but it supports its identity on its humor - Harper's Weekly. Can you box? Professor H. A.

White Hopes Take Notice Smoke Little Egypt, mild smoky, scigan—Adv. SEISMOGRAPH IN BLAKE RECORDS EARTHQUAKES SEISMOGRAPH IN BLAKE Have you ever seen the seismograph in the basement of Blake Hall? Here is something which will interest you whether you be an engineer or a law. The seismograph is an instrument for registering earthquakes, their duration and approximate distance away. Smoked paper is revolved by a clock on a horizontal cylinder under two points which mark off straight lines on this paper as the cylinder extends to the earth cause the cylinder to shake while the points remain still and thus register the earth's movements, one point marking the east-west directions and the other the north-south directions, a revolving vertical cylinder upon which up and down movements are registered. At every minute the points make a slight deviation from their course, except the fifth-ninth degree of movement the observer to tell the exact time and duration of the quake. The c'clock does not keep accurate time and its loss or gain is checked up every night at nine o'clock by the government station at Arlington. A NEW INDUSTRY If present indications point truly the state of Washington is soon to become one vast rabbit farm. At a recent meeting of the Tacoma Pet Stock Association figures were given that the rabbit industry may be made one of the most profitable in this country. Sixty-two per cent of the felt used by hat manufacturers in the United States is made from rabbit skins; the fur of the rabbit is used extensively in this country for imitating more valuable furs; the meat of the rabbit contains vitamins; and finally the rabbit is one of the most prolific and most cheaply grown animals of use to mankind. Most of the rabbit skins used in America have heretofore come from Germany, but the prospect is that many European rabbits will be a large part of them—Independent.
