CLUB HOUSE
if you find a mistake in statement
of impression in any of the columns of
the database, report it to the
secretary at the Daily Kansan office
to construct you as to further
procedure.
A month ago Raymond Robins came to Kansas preaching the gospel of social service. In yesterday's Kansan appeared the tale of a "Club House" in Lawrence.
The establishment and maintenance of this house is in accordance with Robins' idea. The house is doing good, just as every institution based on such an idea will.
But it is only one. There is room for more. The University Christian Associations will do social work in the Bottoms, and establish houses. The churches will act. But the work need not be limited to these.
If you profess service as opposed to orthodoxy, you have afforded you in your own city all opportunity for the exercise of your belief. Connect with some organization that is working in the Bottoms, and broaden out. Take some active exercise in that opinion which prompted you to say, "Me, oh I am for work, not show."
IN WHAT CONDITION!
Secretary James T. Lardner has asked Registrar Foster about the condition of the account books sent here for the use of the student organizations.
It took three months or more to get thirteen of the sixty-old books into the hands of the organizations. They simply would not come after them. A couple's more months saw a few more go out. And even now a large number of the books are yet at the Registrar's office awaiting the organizations. 'Tis not the Registrar's fault. He has done all he can to distribute them.
And now, Secretary Lardner wants to know the condition of the books. What a report Registrar Foster must make because of the indulence, carelessness, and inefficiency of the organizations.
PLAY BALL
This week-end witnesses the be gimming of the Hash House League season. In all, more than 15 games will be played. The University has given financial aid, and two new fields will be available for the first time.
The Daily Kanan wishes it were possible for every team to win every game, but since that cannot be, it can only hope that every game will be a close one, and that the vanquished teams won't lose their pep.
The Daily Kansan will try, as nearly as it is possible, to furnish accurate news of the proceedings of the League, so that the various teams can get the "dope" on their opponents.
and invites co-operation from team officials.
With green dragons, bamboo pergolas, Chinese lanterns, Oriental perfume, and other Eastern touches the Junior Prom promises to be one worth the early date, "tabooed" cabs and flowers, and other requisites.
We gladly hasten to acknowledge the receipt of assurance that there is to be a cement walk from the Medic building to Blake, and thank Super-intendent Shea therefor.
Further evidence of the growing activity of women at the University is the beginning of the archery classes at the Gym.
"The Man From Home" is coming to the University. A return visit for the man from the University that went home Easter?
The Kansan's yellowest story Tuesday was the account of the Japan-Junior Prom.

Pandora's Box
And how about the man who takes such a long time to get ready for a date that he doesn't arrive until along about eight-thirty". Of course we were all in business—there were some out-of-town men at the house, and he simply had to stay to talk to them, don't you know, or "we had faculty for dinner"—but I never would have done to leave them, as much as I wanted to see you."
There are innumerable excuses of all sizes and colors—according to the inventive mind of the man—but never the real ones. You never hear him say that he went to sleep from sheer exhaustion from being up the night before, and therefore lost track of the time. He never says that he just left home with his wife, his girl house and chatted with her for so long that the hands of the watch slipped around to eight before he knew it.

But be that as it may, he often comes late, and he always has an excuse. And that wouldn't be so bad—fifteen or twenty minutes off of an interesting date isn't so hard to endure. The rub comes when ten dollars are at hand, and he has gotten wide awake by this time and is just beginning to enjoy himself, he is much put out at that unnecessary ten-thirty date rule. He fusses and fusses about it, tells you that he thinks a girl ought to have mough sense to watch the time without any bell ringing to scare the men away, says you all are the only mouse that keeps it so strictly—why, of his men over at the house don't rent in till way after eleven-hirt.
Then you tell him to come earlier next time—and he does, about five minutes earlier, and the same dis- tance up the next time when the bell rings.
"LIGHTLY _TURNS TO—"
When you get so bloomin' lazy
And you think about the tin-cups A-rattlin' round the keg, Just in time the midwife.
Just when the mid-week date rule
Amounts to 'hout' a subroutine.
Amounts to bout a whang.
And you're on the verge of flunkin'
But don't give a dane:
When you get so bloomin' lazy You can hardly shake a leg.
You can hardly shake a leg. And you think about the tin-eups A rattling round the leg.
Also you're on the verge of funki!
But don't give a dang;
Why then some hefty thinkin'
And concurin' with a ring
We bring the wise conclusion:
It is time to buy a Coca-Cola.
Speaking the Kansas Language
With Funston keeping guard down on the Mexican border, Walt Mason furnishing Johnny Bull with war poetry, Arthur Capper cramming into the halls of the throats of the militant eastern liquor dealers, and Scott Charlie being the only person who has been able to visit Belgium and not have his jaws shut in.

TIME'S FLIGHT
The morn is here again—the noon—
The afternoon—the night,
and scarce our tired heads find rest
Ere the next morning dawns.
How is it, lord, we keep abreast,
This swift time's rapid flight?
How that when daylight fades away
We find our tasks are done?
Not by our own strength, Lord, but Thine
Phou givest the strength, the task,
the time,
Ve, but the tasks fulfill.
THE POPULARITY OF THE BIBI
POPULARITY OF THE BIBLE
An eminent educator speaking not long ago at West Point lamented the disregard of the Bible on the part of students, and consequent loss from the point of view culture in good English. At the close of his address he was confronted by a dozen or more cadets who proceeded to tell him that he must have been misinformed, especially in relation to the interest in the Bible at ten years one half of all the cadets by the corps had been meeting weekly in Bible classes.
After further investigation among other institutions the speaker, who was a bishop of one of the large denominations, discovered that during the last college year somewhat more than 48,000 undergraduates of the United States and Canada were reported as engaged for part of the year at least in voluntary Bible study. If the investigator had desired to continue his study he might have found that the various Sunday schools of the world report yearly a twenty-five to two eighty-eight million twenty-seven Bible societies are printing this book, one in the United States, three in Great Britain, and twenty-three on the continent of Europe, aggregating a total output of Bibles year by year of not less than 12,000,000 copies. One would need to have more than 500-500 young men and young women annually enrolled in what are called organized Bible classes in connection with the various churches and Christian societies of the United States alone, while the total annual issue of the Scriptures, in more than 480 languages and dialects, reaches thousands, volumes, making the Bible by far the best selling and most widely distributed piece of literature in print.
In some recent journeys there was discovered on the edge of the Sahara desert a caravan which was conveying on the backs of camels 2000 milk and food to the student in St. Matthew and St. John, into the heart of the desert; these gifts, translated into Arabic, were being sold to the Arabs for one English penny or two cents each. A prominent remark recently that the students India knew the English Bible better than they knew any one of the great books of Hinduism, and it is not unusual to find members of the higher castes in India using the Bible in their services. Especially is this true of the members of the reformed sect Bharma Samaj. It was said after the Boxer troubles in China that this would mean the end of the circulation of the Bible in the Middle Kingdom. The Bible societies reported a circulation of 650,000 volumes of the book in China. A traveler recently in Japan reports that in Tokyo he witnessed in a single day, on the campus of a university, a charge of 400 copies of the Christian Bible by the students and teachers.
The foregoing figures are significant in their emphasis of the fact that this book, which Goethe called "the best work of all time," proved its amazing capacity to meet

A Joke on Bismarck
The Iron Chancellor of Germany, Prince Otto von Bismarck, who first welded the nation into an Empire, was a most devoted and docile husband and very amenable to his wife's advice. He ready wit, although it saved him many a weary hour, once got him into a ludicrous position.
Lord Russell, an English nobleman, was one day calling on the prince, when he remarked that Bismarck was doubtless annoyed by countess visitors who took up his time unnecessarily.
"That is true," responded the chancellor, with a laugh: "but my wife has a trick for getting rid of all bores in a graceful way. If she sees I have a visitor who is likely to prove dull, she comes in and makes some pretext for getting me away." Hardly had Bismarck ceased speaking when his life bustled into the library. "Otto," she said, "you voice," you must go at once and take your medicine; you ought to have had it ten minutes ago."
