Efficiency Requires System—
You know how systematically automobiles are put together where many are turned out each day.
But Did You Know
that a shirt, for example, at the Lawrence Steam Laundry is treated in the same systematic way? After it is washed, dried and linted it goes to the cuff ironing machine, to the bosom ironer, to the body and sleeve ironing machine, is inspected, then goes to the folding desk. All these ironing machines are steam heated, they cannot overheat the cloth. Our whole plant is a marvel of system. Begin now to take advantage of our excellent work.

Plain Tales from the Hill
Lloyd Spurgeon, student at the Wesleyan, visited with K. U. friends Sunday.
The Reptilian Tenor
Harry Evans, graduate student on the Hill, was favored Sunday with a visit from his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Evans from Edgerton.
"No sah, yoh can't depend on snake and ahn 'aint takin' no chanches," he called back as he matched colors with the sheltering night.
Ben is the cookie in one of the K. U. boarding houses. Last night, two young women brought to Ben's headquarters a live snake who hissed in a high tenor voice, and shot out his tongue in a most fearsome manner. There was no stop-watch present, but it is estimated that the Descendant of the Sons of Ham did his hundred in nothing flat.
"Affection" in psychological diction does not mean a sentimental disturbance but an "element of consciousness" although one of our upper-classmen evidently doesn't know it. The other day a young woman came to the department of psychology and asked the professor in charge what the classes in psychology were now studying.
"Affection," she was told.
"Rejection," she was told. "I am not interested." She murmured, "are the classes all full?"
Roy Tresduale, a sophomore in the School of Engineering, spent Saturday and Sunday, visiting his parents in Leavenworth.
E. N. Stewart, formerly of the University, visited friends in Lawrence Saturday and Sunday. Stewart is now managing his father's farm near Valley Falls.
Mrs. G. A. Talbert of Conway Springs, is here spending a few days with her daughter, Vesta, a sophomore in the College.
Lucille Hovey, a freshman in the College, spent Saturday and Sunday, at her home in Kansas City.
The men who room at the city Y. M. C. A. entertained their friends with an informal roof party, Saturday evening.
IRON CROSS TO A FORMER K. U.
PROF. FOR BRAVERY IN WAR
An iron cross has been given to Prof. Fritz Kellerman for his bravery in the attack at Brest-litowsk, Russia. Mr. Kellerman was exchange teacher in the German Department of the University of Kansas during the year 1912-13.
At the outbreak of the war in Europe, Mr. Kellerman enlisted in the German army as a private. He first serviced on the western front where he arose to the rank of lieutenant. When Germany began her offensive action against Russia, Mr. Kellerman was transferred to the east. His company participated in the taking of the outer fortifications of Brest-litwak, and besides been decorated with the iron-cross, they were given leave-of-absence. Mr. Kellerman, when last heard of, was at his home in Katernberg, near Essen, the home of the big Krupp gun works.

Botany Department Believe They Have Found a Dry Weather Variety
A pile of motley colored ears of corn was being sorted by L. M. Peace, of the botany department, as he talked. "How do you like the looks of our harvest?" he asked. "It is really Professor Shull's and J. B. McNaught's harvest which they brought in last night from the experiment down there on the flat. These small, grassed casks of the crop, the best has already been taken down to the class in living plant.
"These ears mark the end of the first step of an experiment of Professor Shull's that he hopes will result in an excellent variety of dry country corn. If the experiment is as successful as we believe it will be, then the Kansas farmers may plant without the slightest fear of dry spells."
Got Seed From Hopis
The seed planted by Professor Shull and Mr. McNaught last spring was brought here from the Hopi Indians of Arizona. It is the corn of the desert. In its present form the hull will barely colored ears, red, pink, blue, pink. Where cross pollination has occurred, the ears have as many as three different colored grains.
No attention was paid the grain after it was planted and it grew all summer down on the experiment field south of the Hill, with no care whatever. On account of the rainy season many of the ears are mouldy.
Will Stand Drought
Will Stand Drought
"The particular value of this Hopi corn is. The ability to withstand drought. The may be planted as deep as eight inches, and yet at germination, will reach the surface."
explained Professor Shull. "By its deep growing habits, the roots are able to draw water from the sub-soil, and live practically independent of the ordinary rain fall."
"The corn now used in Kansas will not germinate if planted more than two or three inches deep. The Hop corn is a low growing plant often grown in the three feet. The yield however is equal to the corn used in wetter countries."
Next spring this corn will be planted again, and Professor Shull, Mr. Peace and Mr. McNaught will care for it all summer, doing the pollination themselves. By careful pollination and selection they hope to give to the Kansas farmers within two years a new variety of corn that will in a measure settle the dry weather question.

O CHANCE TO GO TO
NORMAN IN CATTLE CAR
All hopes of the Jayhawker football rooters riding to the Oklahoma game in box cars were abandoned Saturday when the Associated Press told of the Interstate Commerce Commission putting the ban on a similar proposition at Penn State. All of the roads entering Oklahoma were unfavorable to the expedition from the first.
Chances of the trip to Columbia for the Missouri game also received a death blow this morning when Ralph Ellis received a letter from J. A. Connolly, general passenger agent of the Santa Fe saying that it was impossible for the Santa Fe to consider the idea.
