Food Administrator Lectures to House And Club Managers
Wheatless and Meatless Rules Still Apply to Clubs And Frats
Chancellor Strong Advises Students to Cut Out Ban-aude
Urges Greater Economy
"Food Saving and Food Waste" was the subject discussed by Clarence Hall, county food administrator, who spoke this afternoon in Fraser Hall before the fraternity and sorority house managers and the boarding house managers.
Mr. Hall urged that the greatest economy he used in preparing the food for the clubs and that great care be used in saving bread scraps. It has been charged that there is extensive waste in several of the sorority houses. He said that meals should be prepared systematically. Although the rules for wheatless and meatless days have been withdrawn from private families they still hold for clubs and fraternity houses. Many of the large hotels over the country have signed contracts that they will not use any wheat flour.
Chancellor Frank Strong also addressed the meeting a few minutes. He advised fraternities and clubs to eliminate all surplus meals and banquets that were possible. He pointed out that students of the University should be an example to the remainder of the town and the state.
Intensive War Training Is Offered To Students At Junior Plattsburg
Invalided Officers from Western Front to Be on Staff of Instructors
The Junior Plattshitg Training Camp is offering special inducements to obtain a large attendance of college men at their second summer camp on Lake Champlain. Cadets will be trained in four branches of army service with special emphasis on the training of non-commissioned officers.
musters.
Upon the entry of the United States into the war, the government sends full with the training of the new national army and was obliged to discontinue all its junior camps. The citizens of Plattsburg were quick to see the need and met it. They provided funds, site and equipment for the Junior Plattsburg Training Camp on the shore of Lake Champlain within eight miles of the federal camp. A large proportion of the older 1917 cadets won commissions upon entering the army.
SPECIAL TRAINING IS VARIED
SPECIAL TRAINING IS VARIOUS
Experienced instructors from the infantry, cavalry, artillery, and naval branches of forces will be in charge of the training. Practice in the use of machine guns, hand grendens, camouflage, and defense against gas attacks forms the basis of the training. Special courses will be given in aerospace ground work, hydrolane, automobile, motor boats, military civil engineering, road building, drainage sanitation, refrigeration, electrical apparatus, telegraph and wireless, war farming and gardening, and food conservation.
The Junior Plattssburg training excels the college R. O. T. C. organization in that it will have at least seven instructors experienced in modern fighting and selected from the regular army, some ranked as generals, and invalided officers from the western front of special competency in various branches of warfare. Twelve West Point cadets will be brought to Plattssburg to assist in the military coupes.

Certificates from the Junior Plattburgs state the number of hours of training and the place it was received. In the field service, commissaries are not used to holders of certificates but upon examination.
The following is quoted from Edward Cappie, acting president of the Junior Plattburgs: "It is highly desirable that every student who has had mill-

Lad Gives Up Dog To Enter War Work
A small plump boy was dragging an unwilling yellow dog across the University campus toward Snow Hall yesterday. Only a slender string served as an incentive but the dog navigated as far as the steps before an absolute deadlock was established. Then the youngster tucked the dog under his arm and trudged up the steps.
"Where yuh goin' with your dog?" the reporter asked curiously. "77
"Goin' to sell him," was the answer.
"Just find him?" came the query. "Naw, I've had him for a long time," the coming financier of Wall Street announced, "but 'I'm goin' to sell him an' buy chickens. They're better for the war," and they'd appeared inside the door with an important air.

Class In Entomology Fighting Cut Worms In Lawrence Gardens
Class Under Prof. Hungerford Raids Garden With Poisoned Bran Marsh
Emergency relief from cut worms and other insects is offered in Lawrence war gardens this spring by students of entomology who are doing special work in economic entomology. A class under Prof. H. B. Hung-rford made a raid today on one of the worst infested cut worm gardens in the city. The owner of the garden had planted four hundred feet of peas and the cut worms had started on in the peas as soon as they sprouted. They had made big gaps in the rows when the garden owner called to the entomologists for help. He had been fighting the cut worms by digging them out and killed more than four hundred of the caterpillars, without materially lessening the damage going on in his garden.
The entomology class made a careful study of the garden and its cut worm inhabitants. The heavy bluegrass turf surrounding the garden was found to be literally alive with the worms. From the grass they emigrated to the garden. Even sword dock, as well as useful vegetables, was attacked by the cut worms.
Five pounds of bran mixed with a tablespoon of Parisgreen and the whole moistened with two tablespoons of syrup and a little water is a good poison mixture to eradicate cut worms and is typical of the mixture the class will use tonight. A thin slice of lemon chopped very fine was mixed with the mash.
The class will spread poison bram, mash in the garden to kill the insects. "The class doing economic work in entomology will be glad to aid any Lawrence gardener in fighting garden pests this spring." Professionals Hunger-education program. "It is good practice for the students. The class, too, is trying to be as useful as possible in making the war gardens more productive."

Several violinists, including Ednan Hopkins, Laura Jackman and Marie Nusz and Prof. William Dalton, cellist, will accompany the club to give the "Viennese Serenade," a big number of the concert given here.
The program for the camp concertis is practically the same as the one presented at the annual concert
Airplane "Spin" Fatal To Lieut. Buck Seward
A letter was received at the P Kappa Alpha house this morning giving the details of the death of Lieu. Buck Seward, who was killed in France about three weeks ago. The letter was written by Lieu. V R. McCormack of Ohio, who has been in the same squadron with Seward from the time of his enlistment until his death.
According to the letter, Seward had mastered the type of plane used on the front and had made several successful flights. He was considered one of the best American fliers in France. He lost control of his machine about two hundred feet from the ground, the plane going into a "spin"—a turn which is the dread of every aviator and which almost always means a crash. The letter was dated April 7.

Plain Tales From The Hill
ONE ABOUT DON
Don winding a loud watch in class yesterday, drew this from the professor:
Is that the clock that the seniors gave the University?
It must take eight days to wind it? It ought to run for eight years (as the winding continues.)
Modern devotees of preparedness should find a striking example in a janitor in the Administration Building. The other day at noon some workmen on the new building were singing.
"Say, ah shore hates dat singin'" said the janitor, "but a reckon he might as well get used to It. Deyre goin' to move de Fine Arts School ovah there next year, you know."
Speaking of ancient history, the Connecticut Geological and Natural History Survey State Library at Hartford, Conn., is revising its mailing list, and a request for the present address of Prof. F. H. Snow has been received by the department of geology here. Doctor Snow has been dead about fourteen years.
A class in French I was translating. "How do you say he wore the clothes of a clown?" one student was asked.
"I don't remember the word for wear."
"Well, what is the word for carry?"
"Porter."
"Now give the sentence."
'Oh, but I thought he wore them.'
After asking a question of a student in one of his geology classes, Dean Erasmus Haworth heard another student whisper the answer to the one whom the question had been directed.
"I guess it must be true that we must bear one another's burdens," said Dean Haworth.
Junior law student: I was looking up some statistics in the library yesterday and I found that there are 150,000 people in the city of New York who can neither read nor write.
Unsophisticated sophomore; How dreadful.
Law student: Oh, it is not so bad They are all less than 3-years old.
At the Glee Club Gambol Students Will Frolic
Profits Will Help Defray Expenses of Club to Camp Funston
"Did you ever see sheep gamboling in a meadow of cool refreshing red clover, with never a care in the world and all the woes of life mingled and fused into one harmonious song? Well that's the scene. There is going to be the Glee Club Gambol," say the managers.
Three weeks ago, the members of the men's Glee Club went to Camp Funston in order to "cheer the soldiers up a bit." They were not paid their entire expenses, and so are putting on this dance to help.
The floor at the Gymnasium is to be especially waxed. Shofstall's four-piece orchestra will play. Willard Pierce will be there with his traps.
The Botany Club will meet Wednesday night in Snow Hall at 6 o'clock to hold a picnic. The club has started a custom of planting a tree which they hope will become an annual event. A gingko tree will be planted this year in Marvin Grove. After the meeting Prof. W. C. Stevens will talk on "Arnold Arboratum" and "K. U. Botanical Green Houses."

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at UCF go further than merely printing the news on paper and the limited time holds; to play no power to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to solve problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university's students of the University.
TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1918.
The Government has decided to train soldiers at the University this summer. That ought to be sufficient guarantee against a decreased enrollment of women in the Summer Session.
"The Huns struck a stone wall in Amiens attack," says a news story. This is proof either that the American football players have got into action over there or that some of the college sport writers have degenerated into war correspondents.
THE G. A. R. AND THE G. A. W.
Yesterday morning twenty-nine national army men marched to the Union Pacific station to entrain for Funston. They were escorted by the G. A. R. At the head of the column was a grizzled veteran, proudly bearing the flag under which he fought in the war of the sixties. Behind him were two thin lines of gray-haired men. Most of them were bent with age, but with all that, still urged by the spirit of patriotism, they led away the column of younger men, who are going to fight in a later and a bloodier war that in which they fought from '61 to '65.
Those who watched the procession file by observed that, in all Lawrence, only about twenty of the old men are left. A year ago the soldiers marched down this same street, and then, as now, the G. A. R. headed the column. There must have been thirty or thirty-five of them at that time but death since then has thinned their ranks. When the boys who left return few of the old men who led them down the street will remain, for before long the last veteran of the sixties will have passed on.
But in the years to come those boys who marched away, and thousands of others like them, will return to form a larger and greater organization, if greater one can be—the G.A.W.—Grand Army of the World
Think what the British commander who bottled the harbors of Zeeebrugge and Ostend has coming if English women insist on showing their appreciation in the manner made famous by American women when Ensign Hobson bottled Santiago harbor in 1898.
THE LOVE OF LITTER
Again the feverish advertiser as cends Oread with mastate paint, brush, and glowing posters; Sufficient unto the day is the labor of his hands. One cannot walk in peace. One cannot contemplate the sidewalk and solve one's problems there on Its blank surface of granolite or vitrified brick. One must be reminded that someone wants him to do something else.
Then somebody's something else is done and over with. The glaring
captions fade, the paste dries to dusty chips that no longer hold the paper which it for so brief a time held secure to the pavement it carpeted with a mercenary message. Puffs of wind get underneath the paper. John Shea's campus beautiful looks like the state dump on the morning after collection day.
The campus of the University of Kansas belongs to the pride of Kansas and is a part thereof. If somebody's business cannot thrive or survive without flaring in the face of that justifiable pride, then somebody's business is not worth attending. Such advertising of itself in its own very means antagonizes the man it seeks to reach. It is a public nuisance. This campus has got to be kept clean. And it is going to be kept clean by the penalty such advertising brings down on itself.
Consider the dandelions; they toll not, neither do they spin, yet the campus in all its glory is arrayed in such as these.
The latest method of "Kulturization" has been reported from New York. When a doorkeeper in a hotel there objected to a German sympathizer's tirade against the Liberty Loan, the G. s. promptly stabbed him in the face with a table fork.
Why doesn't someone offer a prize for a name that will rescue our old friend, sauer kraut, from the enemy alien class. The war has caused it to drop in price from fifty dollars to fourteen dollars a barrel.

Upon the Green Hall steps of stone.
A graduate's voice beside me said,
"Where have the K. U. men all gone?
I seem to miss them so.

A Few Words With Him Every Day
"What's that? Yes, I used the word 'family' intentionally in speaking of words. Language is alive; words are born; grow, travel, have families, often large ones, and then perhaps die. An example? Well, it's take the 'cap' family."
"We'll start with the Latin 'caput,' meaning 'head.' The root appears in three main forms: 'cap,' 'chap,' and 'chef.' In addition to its original signification it acquired two other principal meanings: 'end,' coming from the idea 'to bring to a head'; and 'cloak,' which arose from the word 'closure.' The ending would be slipped back and worn over, the shoulders in warm weather.
"With the form 'cap' we have: the expression 'armed cap-apile,' meaning 'from head to foot.' 'cape,' meaning both 'head-land' and 'cloak'; 'cope' which is the same word as 'cape'; 'caparison', 'a cloak for a horse'; 'captain;' and 'capital,' used both for a 'head city' and for 'heading' of a chapter. The French word 'cadeau' is an interesting variant of 'capital'. It indicated originally the ornamental initial letters of the complimentary nouns which change its meaning much as 'bury' did, and was applied to the epistle itself, and finally to the gift. 'Cadeau' now means "present."
"With the form 'chap' we have among others; 'chapeau', the French for 'hat'; 'chapel', which is supposed to have gotten its name from the mantle of a saint kept as a relic, or perhaps, from the hood or mantel over such relics: 'chaplain', the chapel-master; 'chaplet', originally a wreath of flowers for the head; 'chapter', one of the heads of a book.
Yes, and "chaperon" belongs to that branch too. It means a "clok" for one of them.

CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will then not be used unless the author is notified by the editor must know who is writing the comment as evidence of the comment's sincere. Communications are welcome.
A student treats his rends to cigars and ice cream and is called a good scout. Then he goes down and plays singles while those who have later classes stand around for half an hour and wait for an invitation to join in doubles. But the height of selfishness is not reached until the late arrival upon asking permission to play receives the answer, "We just started," or "We are going to quit right away."
The other day two women came down to the courts to play tennis, perhaps for gym credit. There were several courts where men were playing singles. For twenty minutes the women waited for a chance to play, but were forced to leave disappointed. These same men may be ever so prompt to give a woman a seat in a street car or a parlor, but on the tennis courts they can't be bothered with women.
It does seem that when the right of priority is construed as the right of unlimited and unshared possession, it is high time it were abolished, at least on the tennis courts.
There is another question that seems pertinent right here: Why is it that, with the season half over, two courts have not been put into shape for play yet?

K. U. Women To Give Home Coming Dance For Men in Service
Dates
Date of Ball Set for May 11— Women To Make
At last the University women are going to have an opportunity to setle up all their social debts and the K. U. men who have joined the army and in training camps at Funston and Leavenworth will be given a special chance to "come back" and feel, for one night at least, as if they are once more in school and there is no war with Germany.
The women are going to give a dance with the W. A. A. board in full charge of arrangements. It will be proper for the women to invite the men to this dance, but it will not be amiss for the men to follow the old line of attack and make their dates early.
This will probably be the last big dance of the year, and the committee on arrangements are planning to make it a home coming party for K. U. men in the army and a special effort will be made to have many of them present.
Of course the University "Regulars" will be welcome.
The date is set for evening of May 11, in Robinson Gymnasium. Haley will be on hand with his three-piece orchestra. The committees have announced nothing yet about special features except that the cups and letters won by W. A. A. women during the year will be presented.
Bricken's Cafe will be open after the dance.
Phi Beta Pi Convention
By the Way
Phi Beta Pi will entertain the delegates to its national convention Thursday, May 2, with a motor trip around Lawrence and the University grounds, and a dinner dance at F. A. U. Hall. About 75 delegates will come to Lawrence, and there will be more than 200 guests at the dinner dance.
Hester Jackson, c'19, has withdrawn from the University. Miss Jackson has been visiting at Camp Oglethorpe Georgia, and is now in New York City.
Roy B. McMillan, e18, who is in the radio service at the Great Lakes Training Station, was a guest Monday at the Acacia house.
Kappa Kappa Gamma will give its annual mothers' day dinner Sunday May 12.
Joe Konantz, c'21, left Lawrence today to report at Camp Funston for military service.
The Moody Club will dance Thurs day night from 7 to 8 o'clock.
The Kinee Club will dance Wednes day night from 7 to 8 o'clock.
Dinner For Harold Lytle
members of the cast of the senior play, "Fifty-Fifty," will give a dinner at the Oread Cafe tonight in honor of Harold Lytle, A. B., 17 author of the play. Lytle will leave Wednesday for Washington, where he will do war work in the department of standards. He has been a fellow in the department of economics this year.
Virginia Lucas, A. B. '17, of Kansas City, was a guest at the Kappa house Monday. Miss Lucas went to Hutchinson today to attend the wedding of Mr. Waldemar Heathcote and Ruth B. Moore, A. B. '17.
Helen Cook, Esther Moore and Bess Alnsworth will go to Hutchinson today for the Heathecote-Moore wedding. Esther Moore will be her sister's maid of honor, and Helen Cook will play the wedding march.
Lieut. G, C. McCaleb, who was a student in the School of Law last year, spent Monday at the Kanza house. McCaleb was on his way to Camp Funston, after a ten days' leave at his home in Bartlevue, Okla.

Behold the Meek and Mouse-Colored Prot
Dotted among the cerisei-purple and blue serge of the 8 o'clock morningly up-flowing stream of manny and humanity there are occasional strange specks. Against all laws of nature and gravity these be not the driftwood of the stream the royal jet of the local universe the mental scintillators, the intellectual diamond and platinum—the highly and lowly prof.
Watch that prof.—he's faring forth to daily battle; to a struggle not "over there" but "over here." Cast your eye upon the ammunition case—it resembles a young and slightly deformed traveling bag which has never grown up. Inside that young traveling bag are the day's pearls for sowing in the fields of undergraduate mind—pearls that cost that prof gray hair, a blighted looking countenance, and circled and lack-luster eyes. The garb of the prof is meek and neat, for the powers that be see to it that he is kept strictly to the realm of the mind and not the dollar.
Not many of those seed pearls will ever increase the world's supply of jewelry, but they will do something to spread enlightenment. The figure of the prof would not be so one-sided if he did not have to do a daily marathon up the slope with corrected assignments, whose physical weight is in excess of their mental weight.
The prof even the ordinary, everyday species, is a hero, even if the fact is as yet undiscovered. No general has ever pinned a crise de guerre on him, but that does not figure in the rights of the case.
Work of Motor League
At K. C. Helps War
"I don't thank any man for going to war and I don't expect anyone to thank me for using my car for war work. It's just as much my duty and the duty of every woman who owns a car to use it in government work as it is the duty of any man to respond to the crime that would not have the right to my car if I did not use it to help the Red Cross."
Such was the response of a private in the Woman's Motor League of Kansas City when she was praised for the good work members of the League were doing in helping organizations of women interested in war work, when the Theta Sigma Phi delegates were in Kansas City last week.

Food Administration Lectures to Members (Continued from page 1)
The administration urges college men to stay in college until they are called provided they devote themselves in the interval to acquiring the training that will make them not only soldiers, but also intelligent participants in the higher branches of war making.
Cadets at Plattsburgh will be classified at the opening of camp into service for which they are best fitted. Those capable of command will be given officers' rank. The upper age limit for cadets is twenty years and nine months, but men of deferred classification will be accepted and given intensive training.
Competitive and recreational athletics will be encouraged for the afternoons of each week day. Fred T. Dawson, athletic coach at Princeton University, will be Athletic Director. His assistants will be noted athletes from various colleges. Swimming will be directed by Frank J. Sullivan, swimming coach at Princeton. The chaplain is Rev. Ralph B. Pomeroy, of the General Theological Seminary of New York City, and the director of music is Felix Lamond, director of the Trinity School of Church Music.
ATHLETICS TO BE EMPHASIZED

Schools Have Entered Eighty Athletes In Inter-Scholastic Meet
Annual Track Meet Will Be Held on McCook Field Saturday
Eskridge Has Entered 16
Hamilton Urges Fraternities And Boarding Clubs to Entertain Visitors
W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics, has received more than sixty entries from seventeen high schools for the fifteenth annual inter-scolastic track meet which will be held on McCook Field Saturday. Topeka and Leavenworth were invited to attend in for entry blanks. Only Lawrence and Northeast high schools have entered the tennis tourney.
The following schools have entered men: McPherson, Winfield, Burlinggame, Plaina Plains, Axell, Marquette, Moran, LacCyne, Kincad, Valley Falls, Abilene, Paicex, St. Johns, Eskridge, Harveyville, Perry, Florence. Eskridge in class C has the largest team entry with 16 men.
“All of the fraternities and boarding clubs at the University who can and will take care of a few men for this meet should notify the department of physical education so that no conflicting arrangements will be made,” said Coach Hamilton. “We will have many visitors here to look over our school and the impression which they receive will have much to do with their selection of a school for next year.”
Cherry Is Tried Out For Place on Pitching Staff of Kansas Nine
Coach Bond Gives Out Signals. To Be Used First in Missouri Games
Coach Bond put his Jayhawken baseball squad through a long hitting practice Monday afternoon, after which he gave out a complete set of signals to each man. These signals were tried out in the 20-minute drill which followed and the men should have them learned in time for the Missouri games next month.
The same lineup was used in fielding practice that was used against Ames, with the exception that Keeler was tried on first base for a short time and Cherry was sent over to warm up with the pitches. Cherry may be used in the box some on the Missouri trip if the regular pitchers cannot stand the gaff. Keeler, with a little more practice at first, will be able to fill any position on the diamond with the exception of the battery positions and will make a valuable utility man.
Schoepel is back on the pitching staff now and is in good condition to go into the box at any time. He pitched to batters Monday and seems to have gained fair control of the pitching field, making the trips with the team and this pair, with Slawson, will bear the brunt of the work in the box.
Coach Wedell's freshmen worked out on Hamilton Field Monday and will probably play a practice game with the Varsity this afternoon. The freshmen and Varsity have not met for nearly two weeks.
Emporia Normal Team
To Play Here Thursday
The Emporia Normals will be here for a baseball game Thursday according to word received today by W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics. Coach Hamilton has been trying to arrange for the game for some time.
The Normals held the Jayhawkers to a 4- to 4 tie in their game at Emporia because of the wildness of Kansas twirlers. Since that time Slawson has developed into a dependable pitcher with control. Slawson will probably be used against the teachers Thursday.

Squad
Kenneth Uhls, captain of the K.U. tennis team probably will pick the man in try-outs this week who is to play with him in the double matches this season. The selection undoubtedly will be made Saturday afternoon when Captain Uhls will come from the Rosedale medical school. Uhls has four men on the Varsity to choose from. C. P. Butcher, '19; F. A. Fratcher, '18; C. K. Mathews, '19; and H. A. Skær, '19 are on the squad. It is the first year in Varsity competition for all four.
Rain, wet grounds, and col. rain have kept the players from doing any active outdoor work for almost two weeks. Tuesday was the only day when the courts were dry enough for a short practice. Much practice has been indoor. Robinson is also playing there in real place for playing in that building there has been a lack of mud needed practice matches.
The opening tournament probably will be held this week. Kansas City teams probably will be played at Kansas City in this opening tournament. No other dates have been defined, settled, although K. U. will play Missouri and possibly the New Orleans. The team is to play in the Missouri Valley conference tournament to be held at Ames, Ia.
Two Freshmen Stars In Track Leave School
Orville and Everett Bradley Go Home To Do Farm Work
Everett and Orville Bradley, the best freshman track athletes at the University of Kansas this year, will leave school May 5 and go to Oklahoma to work on their father's 240-acre farm. Both will get a majority of their school credit—enough to make them eligible for track work next season. Both say they will return to K. U. next fall.
Everett Bradley is a crack dash man, an excellent hurdler, a weight man and a high and broad jumper. In the interclass meet here this spring he was high individual point winner with a first in the shot put, javelin, broad jump; second in the high jump, discus and high hurdles. Variity track more than one of the skills he will give to the track team next year.

"Eliza Comes to Stay Was Season's Success With K. U. Audience
Good Clothes In Transformation of Eliza Made Her Dangerous To Men
Play Will Be Given Again
Parts were Well Acted And F A. U. Hall Was Early Crowded
"Eliza Comes To Stay," the threeact comedy, which was produced by the Dramatic Club. Wednesday, March 21, proved to be a great success, if the applause and laughter of the audience can be considered as an indication.
Burt Cochran, as the Honorable Sandy Vernal, the enthusiastic young English bachelor, was a show all by himself. His English dialect proved equally as good as his famous negro dialect. The numerous baby books, rocking horses, and toys that he had collected paved the way for the striking appearance of Eliza.
ELIZA'S DRESS WAS A SCREAM
The audience was somewhat prepared for a grown person rather than the child that the Honorable Sandy evidently expected, but they were not prepared for anything like they saw when Helen Bender appeared as the long-looked for Eliza. Dressed in a faded wrapper, a small hat, sandals half covered by falling stockings, she made a good representation of a girl brought up to scorn anything that would make her beautiful, for that her beauty would render her fan-fearless. In the last act, Miss Bender was such a transformed person that it is feared that the moral of the play as interpreted by most of the feminine part of the audience that it is desirable to be dangerous.
WHO'D THOUGHT IT WAS WEBB?
Nadine Blair, as Vera Laurence, made a good actress as well as a very brave one for in the second act, she took down her hair without going behind the scenes or using a mirror.
Karl Brown did good work as Montague Jordan, the unfortunate admirer of Eliza. Alexander Verral, the rich old Englishman, had so much dignity and poise that one could hardly believe that behind those bushy side-burns was the innocent face of Webb Wilson.
Eda Roberts, as Lady Pennybroke,
a charming elderly lady, Lucille Hovey
as Mrs. Allaway, the nurse, and F. C.
Stringfellow as Herbert, the butler,
all did excellent work.
"Eliza Comes To Stay" will be repeated in the Little Theatre at Green Hall, Saturday, April 6, for the benefit of the Dramatic Club. The price for the second production will be twenty-five cents instead of fifty cents. Tickets are now on sale at the Registrar's office.
Lieut. K. F. Nance of Camp Funston To Tell Personal Story of Great War
Will Give Experiences In American Ambulance
The story of his personal experiences on the western front in France will be given today at 4 o'clock in Frasch帕培 by Lieut. K. F. Nance, chaplain with the 164th Depot Brigade at Camp Funston.
Lieutenant Nance was in the service of the American Ambulance six months in the summer of 1916. During that time he had many hazardous experiences, driving an ambulance to and from the front line trenches. He was forced to give up the work, and was invalidated home because of injuries from poisonous gases.
Since returning from France, Lieutenant Nance has given his time to various war activities. He has lectured extensively, and helped in the first and second Liberty Loan campaigns in Kansas City.
Students will not be "excused from military drill or physical exercise for the lecture.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 2, 1918.

Seniors Check Grades To Prepare for Degrees
Notices have been sent out to the eniors to check over their grades in he registrar's office so that they will be able to receive their degrees this spring. About 225 seniors in the College will be graduated from the senior class of 249.
In the School of Engineering thirty probably will graduate from the 42 in the senior class. The seniors of the School of Fine Arts are expected to get their degrees. About twenty-five law students will get their diplomas. Ten from the School of Pharmacy are expected to be graduated. Of the seventeen medics at Rosedale, about fifteen will graduate.
The War Here and Over There
Preparing For a Fresh Drive
Preparing For a Fresh Drive
The Germans during the past 48 hours have been drawing their big guns up behind the advance line of their most forward position preparatory to another smash at the allied front. All aero service is unusually active spotting the new enemy artillery positions and already both British and French artillery are opening within ranges calculated for them by aviators.
High Tide Reached
With the failure of German massed attacks to penetrate farther along the front which now extends almost fifty miles and with the growing ability of the allied defenders to keep the present line intact long enough to give their big guns a chance to get firm emplacement behind them—it is now felt in military headquarters in Paris, London, and Washington that the Teutonic offensive has passed its high tide.
Casualties Six To One
The first really accurate casually figures are now coming in from the Western Front and in round numbers indicate that for the hundred thousand British put out of action there have been six hundred thousand Germans killed, wounded, and taken prisoner. This rather substantiates the stated claim that during the Allies were going to rent temporarily a few square miles of No Man's Land in exchange for a few hundred thousand German lives.
In refutation of allegations that suckers are illegally hoarding hides, . F. Swift reports stocks of hides recently increased more than half, because of the large number of cattle tilled with no increase in the demand except for heavy leather for army shoes.
In the coal fields of Pennsylvania there are nearly 75,000 miners who are subjects of Austria-Hungary.
Churches, museums, public institutions, and-private citizens in Russia are required to place their gold articles at the disposal of the state at a fixed rate. Otherwise they will be confiscated.
English statistics show that there are now 1,500,000 women employed in British industry with an increase in women's earnings of £10,000,000. On account of the restricted hours for sale of alcohol, drunkenness among women has decreased 73 per cent.
The 1918 Senior Memorial, a large thirty-day Seth Thomas clock with a twenty-four inch dial, was installed in the main room at Spooner Library Monday afternoon. A clock for a memorial had been decided upon for some time but it was only recently decided to install it in the library.
General Pershing has recommended that the number of army chaplains be increased for the war to an average of three to a regiment.
The original intention of the memorial committee was to put it in Fraser Hall, but at the suggestion of Chancellor Strong it was placed in St. Mary's Church, where thought it would be of more service there than at any other place.
Senior Memorial Clock Installed in Library
More than fifteen dollars of the memorial fund was left after the clock was purchased. This will be invested in War Savings Stamps for the benefit of the Student Loan Fund.

Freshman Caps Appear
As Usual This Morning
Upperclassmen Will Institute Strict Search for Non- Conformers
Whether it is due to some gentle pressure by the upper classmen or a desire on the part of the freshmen to do the proper thing, there appeared on the hill this morning the usual headgear for freshmen at this time of the year.
Warren Wattles, president of the senior class, Herschel Washington, president of the junior class, and Bruce Fleming, sophomore class president, all say their respective classes will see that the freshmen wear their caps.
Every representative organization expected the freshmen to follow the yearling spring custom and wear their caps. They were not disappointed. "Dutch" Uhrlauh and "Brick" Chandler of the Men's Student Council say that organization is looking out for non-formers.
The Elizabeth Matheson Innes scholarship for women has been divided between two women. One-half going to Emma Wedell, who withdrew from school at the end of the first semester to teach school. The other half was given to Mary McGrath. Applications for other scholarships have not begun to come in yet.
Naughty Laws Joke Newly Married Prof.
Still the lawyers must have their little joke. This morning when Prof. E.D. Obson, who had been married March 28, went to his class room his chair stood upon his desk all decorated with ladies' dresses, a kimona, shoes, a bou迪 cap $_{a}$, a pair of white silk gloves and other silk things which were not silk. Some of some things that were not silk. A big placard which read "Exhibit A," and other nobby signs had been nifty worked out by the naughty Laws.

Both Teams Had Good Rebuta Speeches—Members of Negative More Experienced
Kansas Debaters Lose To Missouri in Dual Contest by 3-0 Vote
Kansas was defeated in the annual dual debate here with the University of Missouri last Thursday night by a decision of 3 to 0. The question on the debate was: Resolved, That the terms of settlement of the present war should be the establishment of the League of Peace. Kane's defensive.
The University team had had no experience in inter-collegiate debating. All of its members were under classman, Harold Hall and Deane Malott are sophomores in the college, and George Blake is a freshman.
The Missouri team showed more debating experience, two of its members having previous experience in university debates and in oratorical contexts. The members of the visiting team were Frank M. Lowe, Bernard Hurwitz, and Lloyd O'Rear. Missouri excelled in delivery, both in the main argument and in rebuttal. Each team gave good rebuttals.
Three Kansas City men were judges. They were B. B. Wright of the city library, Principal Holmes of Central High School, and Dr. Grant Robbins, a Methodist minister.
Bride at New Year's Is Widowed by War's Toll
Mrs. Harry E. Boestler Does Not See Husband Again After Wedding
.
--hearse.
Mrs. Harry E. Boestler, fa2'19, was notified last Thursday that her husband, an aviator in the American army, had been killed by the falling of his machine during a German raid on Paris. Mrs. Boestler left at once for her home in Chanute upon receipt of this news.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Boestler were residents of that city, where they were married New Year's Eve.
Mrs. Boester had planned to visit her husband at his training camp in Texas about the first of February, but before she could leave, he was already on his way to France, where he arrived about the middle of February. As a result of his early departure, he was not able to see his bride again after the time of the wedding
Too Many Jobs Offered By University Y. M. C. A.
Mrs. Boestler, who was Miss Ruth BrANDLE, is a member of the Mu Phi Epsilon sorority, will return to the University to continue her studies, according to friends here.
High School Students Given Work Through Association Employment Bureau
The University Y. M. C. A. employment bureau is so swamped with jobs that cannot be filled with students at the university that it has been decided to open these jobs to high school students as well as to those who are attending the University, according to Harold Hall, secretary of the employment bureau. This is the first time this has been done. Should the demand for work by University students increase the employment bureau will discontinue offering work to others.
The large number of unfilled jobs is attributed to the smaller number of men in K. U. than in the last few years and also to the scarcity of labor in all enterprises. The number of hours of compulsory exercise, military drill, and wireless work also prevents many students from working who would do so if they had fewer study hours in the University.

Plain Tales From The Hill
If our boys would give this yell as they go "over the top," the hair on every German's head ought to raise two inches;

Won't he swear and won't he curse

A MYSTERY THAT WAS NO MYSTERY
Perhaps if you chanced to stray
down the street upon a balmy evening last week you might have noticed something which would have greatly aroused your curiosity. You may have been waiting with a waiter and being all this time for someone to settle this deep and dire mystery. And still the burning question remains in your mind!
Yes, she was a college woman, you are sure! Why, well because she had the proverbial fat heeded shoes, and those characteristic ear muffs of hair over the ears. And to think that one of our distinguished little college maidens should go along the streets on a dark evening alone and unprotected protect up little bits along the way. No she isn't a snipe shooter as she is. She's also a patriotic maid. She is gathering salvage for the salvage box! Now, Mr. Slacker, Mr. Criticizer, and Mr. Knocker will you ever dare to utter one word again against the patriotism of the University women?
Professor Elmer addressing a small child who was sitting on a door step eating a cooky, "What are you eating?"
Smal child, "Raw potatoes." "No you are not," said Professor Elmer, "you are eating a cooky."
"But," replied the child, "when I say I eat eating raw potatoes, I am eating raw potatoes."
The student came in late last night. Roomie was asleep, and the thoughtful student couldn't take the heart to wake him, so he didn't turn on the light. But there was something on the table among the books and clothes that the student wanted. He rustled around in the dark, hunting for it. The supposedly sleeping rooie spoke up;
"Oh, I say. I put my money in the drawer tonight."

Naval Reserve to Call Enrolled Men to Serve At Least for Summer
"Well, Bill, what do you think of that book?" inquired the newcomer. "Why I tell you, I get just about as much out of it as I do out of a Mutt and Jeff cartoon only I don't have the fun of looking at the pictures."
Undergraduates May Return Next Fall for Further Training
Well Qualified Men Wanted
Students May Obtain Commissions If They Renounce Right To Resume Schooling
Students in technical courses in the University of Kansas who enroll in the Naval Reserve Force will be called to active duty upon completion of their current school year, according to word received by Chancellor Frank Strong regarding modification of the recent offer of the U. S. Navy to enroll undergraduates in technical courses with permission to remain on inactive status to continue their college course.
Men who have completed their college course will remain in active duty while those still undergraduates will be given training during vacation period and may be released again at the opening of the new college year. Undergraduates may remain on active duty at their request.
Graduates who are called to active duty will be examined carefully for such of those who are qualified to enter the various Officer Material Schools and particular attention will be paid to graduates of recognized technical schools. Men who have attained a degree in mechanical engineering are particularly desirous for the Office Material School, and Bachelor's (unsupervised) Undergradrates may enter Officer Material Schools, but they forfeit the privilege of returning to college in case they qualify for commissions.
Undergraduates who are called to active service for the vacation period will be placed in recruit training and later in the patrol forces of the Naval district. Effort will be made to give as much training as possible in the short time available. Undergraduates will not be transferred to distant service unless they first renounce the privilege of returning to college.
New Daylight Saving Schedule Is Ushered In With Few Mistakes
A Day or Two Will Suffice for Becoming Accustomed to Early Rising
Classes started promptly at 8 o'clock this morning on the new "daylight saving schedule," with little confusion. After two days' practice there was very little difficulty in adapting the habits of the student body to the new time regulations. A few exceptions from the general smoothness of the starting of the new rule were found in students who straggled breathlessly to class, forty-five minutes late.
In most of the 8 o'clock classes here were a goodly number of susi-
siciously sleepy students. Many even iad the discourtesy to yawn re-
teledly.
Undoubtedly these minor difficulties will be removed in a very few days, and the University campus will resume its accustomed compose. The plan will not cause any inconvenience, when it has been thoroughly adopted.
Dramatic Club Offers
Two More Popular Plays
Continuing the Popular Play Series which are being given under the auspices of the K. U. Dramatic Club, two one-act plays "America Pass By" and a comedy "The Step-Mother," will be produced Saturday, April 6, at 8 o'clock in the theater of Green Hall. Tickets are now on sale at the registrar's office.
"America Passes By" is an up-to-date drama of Americanism and has in its cast Craig Kennedy, Florence Burney Miller and Lucille Hayne.
The comedy, The Step-Mother, will be played by Howard Morgan, Eva Robinson, Glen Neighbors and Florence Ingham.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas, to go further than merely print the news by standing for the ideals the University represents. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be honest; to face serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
TUTSDAY, APRIL 2, 1918.
THE LAST LAP
The last lap begins today. Easter vacation is behind us. The University year is coming down on the home stretch. For seniors, here are a scant two months before college days are over forever. Be a sponge. Soak up a little bit of information and pleasure that comes your way. Crowd everything into your days that you possibly can. In doing all this for yourself, however, do not forget that the universe runs on the principle of give and take. Be of a little service to your fellow students, or your community.
Now is the time for Juniors and underclassmen to make the minutes count. These are strenuous times; even the clock is moving up an hour. There is more to be done in this last two months of the spring session than there has ever been to do in previous years. The necessity is greater. Return to the University next September is uncertain for many students. Wise students will take the wise advice of Lord Chesterfield to Maul Muller and make hay while the sun shines during the coming April and May.
BUT—
He was walking down the street, a mere barb. The fraternity man of recent pledging became intensely interested in the sidewalk as the barbarian approached. The pledget had seen the meek bar, but—
HE ALSO SERVES
He may not sit behind groundglass, gilt-lettered doors as does the city editor, but he delivers the goods just the same. His salary may not mount to several thousands yearly and he may not have scores of men under him, but he is at work twelve hours a day at least six days of the week. Editorialist, news editor, reporter, ad man, business manager, and, when occasion demands it, pressman, compositor and devil, that is the country editor. A man with a headful of ideas; a man with good, sound business sense; a man of tact; and a man with a thousand and one things to do and with the ability to do them all well—that is the country editor indeed.
The metropolitan daily, covering such a broad field, plays up the big news items of general interest. And we unto the city newspaper man if he cannot get such items in sufficient quantity. But the editor of a weekly has a different problem to face. It is the personal item which will make or break his paper. Names of neighbors are what he needs, and enough of them to fill several columns of every issue. He must not forget to mention that Jim Jones has bought a new Ford or that Mrs. Smith visited at Podunk over the
week-end. He knows that people like to see their names in print and that the more often home folks see them the better they will like the paper.
News is not news to the country editor. He is known too well by his readers. The scandal story that the city editor would give first page space in the metropolitan paper, he must suppress altogether. It would jar on community feelings. He would hurt his friends. And he is glad that he can pass over such items and leave them for his city brother.
Although he is a busy man, just at busy as the man on the daily, life denies him nothing and he has more time for real living. He stays close to human beings and humanity, and that is the reason that he can still serve his paper when his hair is streaked with gray. The city editor is wrung dry and thrown aside at fifty. It seems, to the average person, that it is a bigger thing to be associated with the large paper in the metropolis. But the country editor is well satisfied with his position, as a rule, for he knows and his circulation knows that he is serving the public in the better way and is getting a good deal more enjoyment out of it than if he were in the rush and whirl of the impersonal city office which never stopped to think of a real individual.
AS IT REALLY WAS
“—hundred calories. Very high patented flour—”
The silence was broken by the turning over of leaves by those who were beginning on tomorrow's Geology or Botany, and the rattling of stiff letter papers in the hands of those who were patriotically writing to "him" overseas.

quiring — "tiny, tiny, little thing—"
An epidemic of the whooping cough burst out among the assemblies women of the University. Several students amused themselves by looking around over the room, and meditating on the new spring hats visible. Some wrote up laboratory books, others were slyly giggling.
"Be very, very careful. Will the girl in the eighth row please stop talking?"
Some restless stirring, many bored expressions, and a large amount of honestly unconscious sleep spurred the speaker to greater effort.
"Can we really?" Feeding cereals to chickens—"
The end of the hour approached The sleepers awoke, and gather their note books together. A choru of pent up sighs were relieved.
"I perceive from some of you faces that some of your aren't the least bit interested."
A farewell of yawns prefaced much swarming toward doors, and the handing in each of his own pink slip.
The third Food Conservation lecture was over. After this manner was wasted the gospel of economy which, it was hoped, would touch so many people, making them reduce personal consumption because of limited national resources; influencing them to save that others might have.

The Philologist
A Few Words With Him Every Day
"No," said the Philologist, as he absentmindedly scratched his left ear with the inky end of his pen,—"and yet you are right in maintaining that 'mama' is likely to be an older word than 'papa,' although it is probable that neither word is the oldest word in language. Nor can we consider the vocal expressions of an uncomfortable baby as words; they are too inarticulate and are by no means uniform, and even if they are effective in producing immediate results, they can hardly be classed as words.
"The oldest word is probably the sound we write "T-e-h-k." It originated when our primitive ancestors while wandering through the jungle came upon something that startled one of them. His mouth flew open in surprise and he drew in an involuntary breath. The result of pulling the tongue away from the upper teeth as he inhaled was this sound "T-e-h-k." He made it because he couldn't help it. His companions heard it, looked at him, saw what he was staring at, and immediately climbed trees.
"We still use the word because we also gasp when we are surprised, but with us it generally means 'Just look!—Shocking!' We occasionally write it 'Tut,' and some ignoramuses pronounce it as they see it written."
"After this sound had occurred spontaneously for a few thousand years, some genius used it intentional, and then it became a real word.
"By the way," said the Philologist, as he turned to his desk again," did you know that some races call their father 'Mama' and their mother 'Dada?' Curious, isn't it? But it's a fact——."
(Verses read by Marco Morrow at Associated Journalists' dinner, University of Kansas.)
POET'S CORNER
The Prayer of a Rotarian
I ask the gods who mold the mind of men
And shape their lives, that I may have two gifts—
No more; I ask for Pride; I ask for Power.
Oh, not the might and vanity of Kings
That I may lord it for a little day;
But give, I pray, that power of brain and arm
Nor yet the purse-proud power that comes with gold:
That I may do each day with joy the work
I find at hand; and act with glad assent
My little part in God's vast scheme of things
The power to give the world more than I take.
The power to be a man!
Let me not be
*M michethina*, *min. māhna*, *majāy oak*
Besechnesthe (*māhna*) in heaven's name
my lords! my lords!
Let me be not a gorging bird o'prey
that glides over the sage of earth.
The crafty man who waits disaster's blow
my lords!
(Oh, I have seen them in the market-place.
Rich merchants clothed in purple, haggling there
Over some taudry bauble with such greed
They made the very beggars sick (or)!
Vho idly eat Life's bread and drinks
Life's wine.
Let me not be the high-born mendi- cant
And pounces on the hapless, hopeless one;
And give to me that honest pride
which soooks.
Let me not be a beggar at Life's board.
The power to work—co-laborer with Thee!
All alms bestowed by Chance or Circ:
emancipation;
"It means the "other I," responded a pupil.
But give to me, O God, the power to serve
To take more than my honest sharc— the pride
"What is the meaning of 'alter
teacher' and the teacher of the be-
eginner's class?
To give my fellow man more than his due.
My fellows and my age—the power to live—
"Give me a sentence containing the phrase."
"He winked his alter ego."

K. U. Soldiers Write Defense of Funston

The following has been received from soldier alumni at Camp Funston.
Camp Funston, Kansas. March 21, 1918.
Editor Daily Kansan
To the contrary of what Candidate James B. McNaught would have the good folks back home believe about the Third Officers' Training Camp at Camp Funston, not all of the personnel reverting K. U. as their Alma Master belong to the egotistical "dough-boys." We, the aspiring candidates of the First Battery of Artillery strenuously object to being left out of recognition entirely. "Over there" we wager that the dough boys will be able to defend themselves till they meet after they, the dough boys have got themselves into a hot place and must needs be taken out before their crust is burned.
We write in congratulating Candidate McNaught on his splendid letter concerning the Training Camp, but we in the battery wonder where the infirmytem get the time to take the several censeus, the results of which he mentioned. They certainly must have an easy time of it!

CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will then not be used until the comment is received and the editor must know who is writing the comment as evidence of the writer's since. Communications are welcome.
Do all profs forget that they were students once? One remarked in his class today, "What unintelligent things students do!" He has forgotten entirely that not long ago he was a student doing the same unintelligent things that the students of today are doing.
If we were all so nearly perfect that we never made mistakes the vocation of teaching would certainly be on the front. The most recent professors would be out of luck.
Then, too, is it absolutely necessary to continually practice a too soothing ebullition of vitriolic sarcasm on the unintelligent student?
We are offenders—but perhaps if one of the intelligent ones are capable perhaps that we too can become nfallible.

Must Eliminate Cake And Pastry to Save Wheat for Our Allies
Says
Yeast Bread Also Should Be Used Sparingly, Mrs. Teetor Says
Rye No Longer Substitute
Flour
Hot Breads May Be Made With Only 25 Per Cent Wheat
The necessity of saving wheat and the methods by which this can be accomplished were discussed this morning by Mrs. E. D. Teetor, acting head of the department of home economics. This problem is one of the greatest that the government has to face as both our own food supply and that of our allies will be endangered unless more wheat is saved in the next six months than has been in the last six months.
The method of saving now is the "fifty- fifty" plan. By use of this plan an equal amount of wheat substitutes must be bought with all wheat purchased. This plan would cause a great savings if everyone would follow many either feed the substituents to the chickens of waste them entirely.
USE 25 PER CENT SUBSTITUTE
Many substitutes have been made and have proved successful, but not more than 25 per cent of substitutes can be used successfully in making yeast bread. Therefore we must use less yeast bread, Mrs. Teetor said. Many hot breads can be made with 75 per cent or more corn or other substitute flour.
SHOULD USE NO CAKES
In the experiments of the department of home economics some ginger bread has been made using 75 per cent wheat substitutes and syrups almost entirely instead of sugar. For the present the use of cakes and pastry should be greatly cut down or entirely done away with to conserve the supply. The proportions for cakes have not been completely worked out.
Rye can no longer be sold as a wheat substitute as nearly the entire supply is consumed by the foreigners in the United States. Corn meal is one of the most widely used substitutes, but it will not be shipped after April 1st as it would germinate during transportation.
HOT BREADS ARE VALUABLE
Many experiments are being made by the department of home economics and many war-time recipes are being prepared. These will be given to any one desiring them.
The proportion of substitutes that can be used in hot bread is 75 per cent by weight. The average proportion by measure is two-thirds substitute to one-third wheat. A more accurate schedule has been made by the department of home economics.
By the Way
Miss Teresa Tucker of Washburn College was a guest of Illde Fuller, c18, during the Easter holidays.

A letter to Dean Olin Tempin has been received at the University from P. A. F. Appelboom, former instructor in Romance Languages at K. U., who is now purchasing agent of the Y. M. C. A. in Paris. The letter was written shortly after the first German air raid on Paris that Mr. Appelboom witnessed.
The raid began at 11 o'clock, he writes, and the boarders at the house in which he lives were aroused by the wall of the sirens, the signal that is given during a Boche raid. After a hurried scuffle, the persons in the house all went down to the lower floor where the bright lights of the enemy planes could easily be seen against one in which Mr. Appelbloom lives one in which Mr. Appelbloom lives was bombed, and according to the letter a German air bomb when it strikes demolises one or two stories. The hole an air bomb makes in the street pavement is about one and three-fourths yards deep and two yards wide.
"Although we went into the street this time," continues the letter, "we would not do so again for this curiosity is the cause of most fatalities." The raid was over by one o'clock after he had engaged the enemy planes.
Mr. Appelbom writes that all France is proud of the United States and that it puts much faith in what this nation will do.

That spring weather has such an influence over everyone. They want a change and a change in food more than any thing else. There is a big difference in sitting down to the table and eating just whatever you have given you, and to order just what you want. Fresh vegetables, cool, refreshing drinks and a menu of wide variety—three of our specialties. After all, it is cheaper to eat what you want and when you want it.

Must Eliminate Cake And Pastry to Save Wheat for Our Allies
Yeast Bread Also Should Be Used Sparingly, Mrs. Teetor Says
Rye No Longer Substitut
Flour
Hot Breads May Be Made With Only 25 Per Cent Wheat
The necessity of saving wheat and the methods by which this can be accomplished were discussed this morning by Mrs. E. D. Teetor, acting head of the department of home economics. This problem is one of the greatest that the government has to face as both our own food supply and that of our allies will be endangered unless more wheat is saved in the next six months than has been in the last six months.
The method of saving now is the "fifty-fifty" plan. By use of this plan an equal amount of wheat substitutes must be bought with all wheat purchased. This plan would cause a great saving if everyone would follow it. But many either feed the substitutes to the chickens of waste them entirely.
USE 25 PER CENT SUBSTITUTE
Many substitutes have been made and have proved successful, but not more than 25 per cent of substitutes can be used successfully in making yeast bread. Therefore we must use less yeast bread, Mrs. Teetor said. Many hot breads can be made with 75 per cent or more corn or other substitute flour.
SHOULD USE NO CAKES
In the experiments of the department of home economics some ginger bread has been made using 75 per cent wheat substitutes and syrups almost entirely instead of sugar. For the present the use of cakes and pastry should be greatly cut down or entirely done away with to conserve the wheat supply. The proportions for cakes have not been completely worked out.
HOT BREADS ARE VALUABLE
Rye can no longer be sold as a wheat substitute as nearly the entire supply is consumed by the foreigners in the United States. Corn meal is one of the most widely used substitutes, but it will not be shipped after April 1st as it would germinate during transportation.
Many experiments are being made by the department of home economics, and many war-time recipes are being prepared. These will be given to anyone desiring them.
HOT BREADS ARE VALUABLE
The proportion of substitutes that can be used in hot bread is 75 per cent by weight. The average proportion by measure is two-thirds substitute to one-third wheat. A more accurate schedule has been made by the department of home economics.

Final Baseball Drive Starts This Afternoon For Games With Ames
Coach Jay Bond Will Choose Players for Team Sometime This Week
Ames Plays Here April 22
Freshman Nine and Varsity Probably Will Clash This Week in Practice Games
Coach Jay Bond will begin driving his Varsity baseball candidates hard this afternoon in preparation for the opening of the Missouri Valley season with Ames April 22, 23 and 24 at Lawrence. In addition to the twelve Valley games which will be played, a game has been scheduled with Coach Bill Hargias' Emporia Normals and other games probably will be played with other State Conference teams. Although the State Conference officials recently decided to abolish baseball for the period of the war, it is certain that Emporia and St. Mary's will be represented on the diamond and the Jayhawkers will probably play games with both teams.
Neither Coach Bond nor roach Duther Weddell of the freshmen has picked his squad yet, but this will probably be done with the beginning of the Varsity-freshman practice games this week. The Varsity candidates had two practice contests last week and these games gave Coach Bond an excellent chance to line up his material. The freshmen also have been playing short practice games among themselves and Coach Weddell has a few minns to battle the Varsity any time Coach Bond calls for it. The freshmen have several good pitching prospects who are expected to give the Varsity hitters some real batting practice before the opening game.
TWENTY-FIVE MEN REPORTING
Early season prospects for a good Varsity team this year are favorable. While the list of candidates turning out the every afternoon on McCook field is smaller than in former years, most of the men have had experience either on a Varsity or a freshman team in former years and are fielding in good style and hitting the ball hard. About eighty men in the team were playing daily for practice and of this number, four have had Varsity experience, including Weltmer and Schoenfeld, letter men, and fourteen have played freshman baseball.
Bunn, basketball and football star, apparently has the edge on the regular catching job, although Cooper, Kitchen and Woody have been playing good ball and may win the place. With any of these men doing the receiving, the catching staff should be as strong as that of last year. It is in pitching that the team will be weakened. Captain Smmce, Red Craig and Connie Poirier, all letter men and veterans, graduated last June and there is not a pitcher with Varsity experience in school. However, Schoppel, Caler and Slawson, graduates of last year's freshman nine, are working out every afternoon and Goodwin, a new man, has been showing up well.
MANY CANDIDATES FOR INFIELD
There is a wealth of material for the infield, and there is no reason to believe that the inner defense should not be fully as strong as that of last year. Machamer and Willems are the candidates for first; Schoenfelt will probably play his old position at second; Cherry has been putting up an excellent game at short in the practice contests and Stem Foster, who played against Missouri in the last two contests last year, also will be out for an infeld position. For third, there is Dutch Uhrlaub, who played freshman ball three years ago, DutchLenberg, Keeler and possibly Bob Isenberger, although Isenberger also can handle second or short.
Weltmier will probably play left field and Smith, Oyster, Tarrant, Wilhelmy and a few others will fight it out for the remaining two positions.

Tom Thorpe, who has been an official in many of the large eastern college basketball games this year advocates a few minor changes in the sport which has become popular with the schools and army camps this year. Thorpe suggests that each man throw his own free throw so that one clever free throw may not win a game over a better team.
E. K. Hall, of Dartmouth, chairman of the football rules committee, Walter Camp, of Yale, secretary, Dr. Harry L. Williams, another member of the committee, have advised that a meeting of the rules committee should not be held this year because of the expense of getting together and lack of interest in football last fall. If changes are made in the rules they will be made through correspondence.
Many track men are complaining of sore and stiff legs since they started outdoor work. The soft condition of the cinder track is a great change from the short indoor track.

Twenty-five football candidates are reporting daily for spring football practice at the University of Iowa. Six letter men are included in this squad.

"I, too, have been a sinner for more than forty years, and I do not think I ought to stand before you as a model. I think my place is behind the door, in a dark corner, with Sister Smith." —Ladies' Home Journal.

Senior Men Who Enlist May Be Given Degrees If Standing Is Good
NUMBER 120
Students Who Enlist After Re maining in School Until 29th of March will be Excused
Enlisted Men Get No Grade
Regulations Apply to Students Who Enter Any Work In Line of Military Service
Seniors in good standing, who have completed at least one semester's work in the University and who would be able to be graduated at the end of the Summer Session under the supervision of a faculty member, will be excused and recommended for a degree if they enlist or are drafted.
This is the recommendation of the Committee On Excuses For Military Service to the University Senate at its meeting yesterday. Such excuse is to take effect not than ten days before the student's entrance in college or the faculty of school is to determine the good standing of the student.
STUDENTS TO GET CREDIT
Other students who enlist or who are drafted and remain in school until March 29, will be excused from their courses in which they are in good standing and such courses will count toward their graduation from K. U.
The excuse will take effect not earlier than ten days before they enter into actual service, and in case the courses now being taken are prerequisites for other courses, the instructors or the faculty in charge may require such completion of the unfinished work as is deemed necessary.
NO GRADES GIVEN
The committee recommended that students be excused from completing their work rather than being given credit for it, and that the initials "m.e.", military excuse, with the date in use recorded such excuses.
The regulations apply to all students who enter any federal service which the government accepts in lieu of military service.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 3, 1918.
SOME CREDIT FOR FARM WORK
Students who withdraw from the University for farm work after March 29 or before May 6 are recommended for proportional credit for all courses in which they may be in good standing, and must be required to make up work prerequisite for other courses.
The committee recommends that instructors give special examinations in such cases.
Commencement Dinner
To Be Re-Established
The committee did not deem it expedient to grant any credit to those leaving for substitute work but suggested that it be given power to act in cases of emergency.
Many Seniors Petitioned Senate To Retain Custom, In a Simplified Form
The annual University commencement dinner which was discontinued last year on account of war conditions will be re-established this spring according to a reconsideration by the University Senate yesterday. The clause which abolished the dinner was struck out by the Senate and according to the understanding now, at least, the dinner will be held as usual although it probably will be in a more simplified form.
A petition was handed in to the Senate signed by many seniors for a continuation of the custom of an annual commencement dinner, in a simplified form. The change in policy of the Federal Food Administration, and the designation of the presidents and alums for continuation of the old custom were given as reasons why the Senate should reconsider the abolishment of the dinner.

The War Here and Over There
WAR THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Don't give the impression of a pessimistic view of the situation either by word or action, and always have confidence in the success of our army and our cause.
This is one of the advice contained in a recent order issued by General Pershing in France. It could well be followed by the civilians of this country.
During the present war we have lost 348, of whom 139 were killed in France, and 209 were drowned when the "Tuscanian" was sunk. These losses are already greater than those suffered by the United States in the Spanish-American war. There were 280 lost in war.
More than twelve billion dollars of war risk insurance have been written on the lives of American soldiers, sailors, and nurses of the government. The average amount is $8,085. The maximum amount is $10,000 and the minimum is $1,000. Up to March 6, 1,392,242 applications had been received from men and women in the national service at home and abroad.
One hundred American women physicians will leave within a few days for France, where they will undertake to save the children of the Allies. Many of the physicians are specialists in tuberculosis and pediatrics.
On April 15 aerial mail service will be opened between New York and Washington. Deliveries are expected to be made in three hours. A special twenty-four cent stamp, in addition to the usual postage, will be necessary for letters going by aerial post.
Postmaster Selph of St. Louis announced April 1st that the post office department had approved his plan for nerial mail service between St. Louis and Chengo, provided suitable fields can be found in the two cities.
The Massachusetts Food Administration says the United States army could be fed for two days on the food stores and restaurants and clubs in that state.

New Organization Planning Big Spring Reception For Marvinites
Governing Board Selected
Will Open Lounging Room In Marvin Hall For Fraternity Members
Plans were completed today for the amalgamation of the three Engineering fraternities, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Tau, and Theta Tau, into a new Engineering organization which is to be known as the Engineering Tri-Angle.
Since Prof. G. C. Shaad has been occupying the dean's office in Marvin Hall, he has turned over the use of the room to Mr. Ralph Stern, who Hall to the Engineering fraternities.
"The object of fusing these organizations," said H. J. Gish this morning, "is to secure co-operation among the three Engineering fraternities, to stimulate interest among underclassmen, and to maintain a common fraternity and lounging room in Marvin Hall."
A governing board of one member from each of the three fraternities, composed of H. J. Gish, F. H. Lutz and R. W. Warrener, has been elected to attend to the business affairs of the Engineering Tri-Angle.
This organization at the beginning will have a membership of nearly fifty men, each of whom will be given a key to the fraternity room, which is furnished for them. It is planned to arrange this room at once and make it as cozy as possible.
The Tri-Anglers already are making plans for a big spring reception to be given to the School of Engineering.

And they chose Baldwin as their desination. It wouldn't have been so bad, if Kansas City or some other enterprise city had been their object, but Baldwin, with its thousands of people and its theaters, etc. That's what the fellows at the Sigma Nu house are wondering about, when six months ago they decided to walk twenty-two miles. They must have been out for sport in the hiking or else they didn't know what Baldwin was like.
But when they got there, they lunched and incidently lunched too long for the train for Lawrence came, stopped and went. Two of the boys had dates and it was altogether necessary that they return to Lawrence at once. They found a farmer in town with a "taxi" and the pleasure hike cost them dearly. Sore muscles and six dollars were the bill. Never again.
On with the rain says the weather man. Easter hats have had their day and now if they get wet, just put them in the salvage can.
Three fraternity brothers, who stayed over Easter in Lawrence, made an agreement Saturday night that the last fellow in should turn the clock up an hour so that they would all get up according to the new change of time and go for a ride up the river with some young ladies and have breakfast. The men returned late, and, as each one feared that the last fellow would forget the clock, each one was dressed up at 6 o'clock. At 6 o'clock the alarm woke them and they dressed hurriedly and buried downstairs. It seemed unusually dark for sunrise and they sat down and waited awhile. One fellow yawned and looked at his watch. "Why, it is only twenty after 3," he said and the mistake was discovered, but they only had two hours to wait instead of three.
German Drive to Fail; Marne and Verdun are Forecasts, Says Nance
Chaplain of 164th Depot Brigade Tells of Experiences In the Trenches
College Men Not Slackers
Anniversary of Entry of America Into Conflict Marks New Attitude
"If the big German drives failed and in 1916, this one cannot be success
"If the German army was held back in the Battle of the Marne and in the Battle of Verdun, we need not fear the result of the present drive," said Lieut. K. F. Nance, who gave some of his own experiences in the great war in his lecture Tuesday at 1 o'clock in Fraser Chapel.
Lieutenant Nance was in the service of the American Ambulance in France six months, and was forced to return to this country because of injuries received from poisonous gases.
"The striking thing about the French soldier," said Lieutenant Nance, "is his determination to win this war, no matter what the cost may be. He realizes that a great republic stands united behind him, and is willing to sacrifice anything for that republic.
"The patience of the French soldier is supreme. Men whom I hauled back from the front line trenches, who were enduring the most intense suffering, very rarely complained. They seem to feel that after living through an attack in the trenches, anything can be borne 'pour la France.'"
"April 6, this next Saturday, the first anniversary of our entrance into this war, should mark a new period in our national thought," the lecturer declared. "After that time it should no longer be necessary for speakers to go about the country explaining why we are fighting and not see why we are fighting after a year of conflict is a pro-German, and should be treated accordingly."
Since President Wilson has advised college men to remain in school, they are not slackers when they continue college work, Lieutenant Nance believes. "Any college man within the draft age who is registered and making no attempt to evade the draft, is not a slacker," he said. "He may enlist if he desires, but since the nation has endorsed the draft, it is not necessary to enlist to prove his patriotism."
Lieutenant Nance is chaplain with the 164th Depot Brigade at Camp Funston, but most of his time is spent in giving patriotic lectures in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. He will assist in the third Liberty Loan campaign, which is to be opened in Kansas City, Saturday, April 6.
Drive For Third Liberty
Loan Starts Here Friday
Dr. Leon M. Birkhead of Federal Reserve Committee To Speak
The drive of the Third Liberty Loan begins the nation on over April 8. Plans are to make the drive a big one in Douglas County, and Friday, April 5, has been chosen as the day to begin. It is designated as Liberty Day and will be celebrated with a parade and a big down-town meeting in the afternoon which students of the University are invited to attend.
The parade will be composed of the state guards, school children, soldiers and citizenés. The meeting will be held in the Bowersock theater at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and the principal speaker is to be Dr. Leon M. Birkhead, who is a representative of the Federal Reserve committee and is declared to be one of the ablest speakers on their list.
The bands of both the University and Haskell will take part in the parade and meeting.
That the slogan for this drive will be "No loyal American will be willing to escape" is the announcement of J. D. Bowersock, chairman for Douglas County. He says, also, "The emergency is upon us and it is obligatory for us to meet it. It not how little, but how much. This campaign is for the boys 'over there' and is for the country, for home, honor and for peace."

FRESHMAN CAPS AS USUAL
According to tradition freshman caps were due to reappear Tuesday morning after the Easter vacation.
Upperclassmen watching for the conventional head gear Tuesday morning were not disappointed; men of the class of '21 had not forgotten their postage stamps.
The reappearance of those freshman caps is particularly glading to the hearts of the old guard this spring. They are a welcome evidence that in a time of difficulties and trials, when many traditions are topping and conventions growing slack, that the freshman class appreciates the traditions of the University, and are getting in line. This spirit is a healthy sign of a class of strong caliber.
BUT-
It was the day after vacation. She had been home to rest. But there had been many parties and other engagements to take up her time. Although she realized that there were lessons to prepare for the coming Tuesday, she arrived at class with her mind a blank, and no recitation prepared. She was not a loafer, but—
COLLEGE BASEBALL FADING
Is college baseball fading out? This year only three teams in the Missouri Valley Conference are playing the game. Last season Nebraska, Ames, Missouri, the Kansas Aggies, Kansas and several of the smaller schools of the valley had teams in the title race, but this spring only Missouri, Kansas and Ames have nines.
The action of those three teams in keeping up the national sport of this country is to be commended as a manifestation of the spirit of these institutions. They have shown a desire to keep the University man in trim so he can fight the right sort of a fight for his country when he leaves school. The number of real men trying for the nine this spring at the University justifies the retention of baseball here.
Thirty men are trying to make the team at the Jayhawker institution—no mean gathering of athletes. Few old men are back; they are in the service. But the younger man is filling the ranks left open by the departure of the veterans. This nine has the chance to make a showing in the triangular conference. The only regret is that there are only three teams to play.
To make up for the decrease in the number of teams there has been an increase in the number of games which each team is to play this year. Kansas will play three games here with Ames to start the season on April 22, 23, and 24. The same number of contests will be played both at home and away from home to save
expense and give each team the best chance to show its ability. But still there is a dearth of teams.
Why should other schools in the conference do away with baseball? They know that government medical authorities say it is essential to keep going all athletics in the schools if the nation is to be fit. A few colleges have given up all sports except those by the extremely informal teams, but even these colleges have seen the folly of their views and are expected soon to resume all athletic team work.
But in spite of this, baseball fades in the Missouri Valley. Football, track and basketball as usual, but the national pastime game—never. It is too expensive.
So it is that only Missouri, Kansas, and Ames will uphold the grand old game in the Missouri Valley this year while the other schools are content to read the scores. Nice easy time for them, but do they feel good about it?
Vacation is a variation of emotions. The vacationist is glad beforehand and sorry afterwards.
COLD SHOWERS FOR ATHLETES
The water was cold. The men had just finished playing basketball, baseball, doing wrestling, boxing, gymnasium and track work, and were hot from their hard work-outs. They found only cold water in the Robinson Gymnasium showers. Only a little lack of heat in under the boilers, but it was bad for the athletes.
A race horse owner would never allow his prize horse to get into cold water after running a race, but these University athletes, many of them out for the Varsity teams and trying to get into the best sort of trim and stay that way, had a choice of using the icy cold water or doing without their daily showers. Cold water has been the cause of many of the sore and stiff muscles of the baseball players trying for the team this season. Now they are using the McCook Field showers, but this little neglect of having hot water will still be hard on the men who use the Robinson Gymnasium showers. With the many University men taking exercise this year such a condition is intolerable. A little attention is needed.
MY CAPTAIN
It was good to look into his face If he is the American officer—and he is—every last man who goes from this University into the ranks of the army is glad to go.
Captain Garlinghouse loves men. Men can't help coming back to him with all their hearts of youth. He did not talk about himself. He did not need to. He was there, right there every minute. And every onl in front of him when he spoke here just before the University closed for the Easter recess was thrilled by his presence, his personality, his inborn gift of leadership.
The captain talked of other captains and their men. He told what the captains thought of their men, of what the men thought of their captains. They will go on together, one in spirit and in deed. They will rejoice that they thus can go for what they do go, even should they never come back.
Captain Garlinghouse will not soon be forgotten at the University of Kansas. He was to all who heard him the living exemplification of the very things he came to tell about. "My captain!"—is the greatest salute in all the world. He has it. Every captain has it. Such men are made of American stuff in the American army. They are the hope of the world.
She always came to class with a highly developed grouch. Nobody in the class noticed her except for the grouch. The professor was not a driver and did not make the work unpleasant but the social strain was disconcerting to her class work. She realized that she came to the University to study, but—
BUT—
The Philologist
A Few Words With Him Every Day
"You see, it's like this," said the Phillologist, as he swung his desk chair around with a squawk, "the reason that the word 'T-C-H-K' still persists is that it is an automatic reflex, and you can't change it without changing the human mouth. Ordinary words change pretty fast, and these stories of a man who hops into his time-machine and goes forward or back a thousand years or so and interviews the natives are manifestly absurd and impossible. For instance, do you think that Julius Caesar would recognize the word 'palrefy' that originated about his time?
"You know the word,—we used not long ago for a lady's riding horse. Originally it meant 'an extra horse.' In the days of chivalry it was the night's riding-horse as distinguished from his charger of battle-horse. The word began when the Romans started their postal system in Gaul. They adopted the Gallic light wagon called 'rheda.' The horse that drew it they called 'veredum,' the 've' coming from the verb 'veh' which means 'I draw.' If the Roman postman, or R. F. D. man, needed an extra horse, he called it 'paraveredum.' Then as they all used the word the extra syllables were off and the word became successively: 'paravred', 'parafret', 'pafralet', 'palfrei,' and the modern French 'palfroi' and the eventual English 'palfrey.' I'll explain the other changes in the word if you'll come around during the holidays when I have lots of time.
"I'm afraid Julius would think the word was about worn out, and probably he'd have a still poor opinion of the German word 'Pferd,'" said the Philologist as he turned to his desk again and absentmindedly as usual stuck his pencil in the ink-bottle.
POET'S CORNER
PRAIRIE NIGHT
The night went out on the prairie Far and far yet clear
The wind came in from the prairie Gentle and new and slow,
The night went out on the prairie Nor shadowed a firmament sheer.
The wind came in from the prairie And drew from the heart a glow.
The stars shone down on the prairie
Sifting from heaven's crest,
The stars shone down on the prairie
Then sleep swept over the prairie— Closing the drowsy eyes,
The stars shone down on the prairie Their light was the light of rest.
Then sleep spread over the prairie.
And opened the starlit sky.

University of Kansas Strong for Safety First
School Leads in Apparatus for Training Specialized Engineers
That the University of Kansas is one of the leading universities of the West in the matter of safety engineering appliances was brought out at the meeting of the National Safety Council in Chicago, last week. F. H. Sibley, professor of mechanical engineering, was the K. U. representative to the meeting at which several middle western universities, including the University of Mississippi at Memphis, Kansas, Purdue, the Case School of Applied Science, and the Armour School of Technology, were represented
The object of the National Safety Council is the promotion of industrial safety, and the object of the meeting of last week was to promote the training of safety engineers in the colleges and technical schools of the United States. The demand for safety engineers is great at the present time, and the demand is constantly increasing. The University of Kansas was found to have applied the practical side of safety appliances and installed more apparatus for this purpose than most of the schools represented.
A conference of eastern colleges for the same purpose was held in New York about a month ago. Dean D. S. Kimball of Sibley College, Cornell University, was elected chairman of the committee. Dean C. H. Benjamin of Purdue was elected chairman of the eastern committee and he will appoint the remainder of the committee after he has corresponded with the other schools.

Thirty-Two K. U. Women Studying Home Service
The class in war relief and home service, which Dean F. W. Blackmar, chairman of the home service section of the Red Cross, is conducting this semester is a regular University course with field work. At present there are thirty-two women enrolled in this course where they are getting practical training for work in the department' of home service. To all those who finish the course satisfactorily, certificates will be issued.
The department of home service is a section of the civilian relief department of the American Red Cross. It acts as an informational bureau, furnishing information regarding allotments of salaries, government allowances, compensations, insurance and care for the elderly. In cases where the committee finds there is real need, the Red Cross supplies financial assistance.
Members of the home service committee are: Dean F. W. Blackmar, chairman, C. C. Stewart, E. R. Keith, S. H. Jackson and Mrs. J. S. Amick. Members of Dean Blackmar's are also considered members of the committee.

Department of Zoology Makes Loan for Purposes of Comparison
The University of Kansas has shipped thirty-six sars of snakes to Prof. Frank A. Blanchard, of the department of zoology at the University of Michigan. There are about forty-five snakes in the lot. These snakes in the lot. This is merely a loan and the snakes will be returned after they have been studied.
Through the will of the late Dr. J. L. Porter of Paola, Kansas will purchase bonds amounting to $20,000, the first day of the new Liberty Bond campaign. Of the money and property left by Dr. Porter, $20,000 was in cash. This sum is to be invested in bonds, and the interest goes toward establishing a “Dr. J. L. Porter Scholarship” in the Kansas Medical School at Rosedale, Kansas.
Snakes, bugs and animals are continually being sent to Washington and to other universities from here, because species from various localities must be studied. Kansas is an intermediate state and many of the species of animals found here differ in color and other characteristics from the same kind of animals in either the east or west. The fact that they are different between the eastern and western types of reptiles makes them especially valuable. Whenever it is desired to work up a sub-species here it is necessary to get specimens from both Eastern and Western states.

Varsity Defeats Frosh 2-0 in First Game Of Season Yesterday
Both Teams Show Ragged Form —Star Players Missing From Both Line-Ups
The first Varsity-freshman game of the season was played on Hamilton Field last night and resulted in a 2-0 victory for the Varsity. Both teams played ragged ball in the field and neither hit up to the usual standard, but the Varsity took advantage of an error and a couple of hits in the second inning and slipped two runs over the plate.
The diamond on McCook was not in shape for use yesterday, as the groundkeeper put fresh dirt on the mound and batter's box in the morning and it was not dry by afternoon. The rough infield on the Hamilton diamond made fast work impossible, but the teams can resume play on McCook field this afternoon and a fast battle should result.
Neither freshman nor Varsity presented their strongest lineup in the practice contest. Coach Wedell of the frosh purposely kept several of his best men out of the lineup and Schoenfeld and Cherry were missing from the Varsity team, Bob Isenberg, promising infield candidate on the Varsity, has not reported for practice for several days and probably will not play ball during the remainder of the season.
Schoepel pitched good ball for the Varsity and held the fresh to a couple of scratch hits. He had the first year men well in hand throughout the contest and at no time was forced to exert himself. Bunn played his usual steady game behind the bat for the Varsity and Dutch Uhrlaub, who has been playing third, was shifted to first base for a trial. Machauer played first during the latter part of the game Johnston, a senior who has never played Varsity baseball but who made the freshman team three years ago, played second base and fielded in good style. Johnston also hits the ball hard and he may be a valuable addition to Coach Bond's squad. Keeler handled the short-stop position in fine shape in the absence of Cherry and Dutch Lonborg played third. Weltmer was at his old position in field, Smith held down center and Bill Caler, a left handed pitcher who is also a good hitter, played the right garden.
The hitting of the Varsity against Pierce and Marxen, frozen, twirlers, was weak and the only real hit of the game was a triple to deep left by
Smith in the second innning. The Varsity candidates had no batting practice against left-handed pitchers, however, and this probably accounts for their weak showing against Pierce. Pierce and Harms, two of the best of the yearling pitchers, are southpaws and the regulars will have plenty of chances to face these left-handers before the season is very old.
SPORT BEAMS
The Colgate University baseball squad, despite the fact that the war has taken nearly all the regulars from the 1917 team, will play a schedule consisting of twenty-six games this year. The schedule includes a southern trip and games with several New England colleges.
The Oklahoma City high school basketball quintet, winners of the state championship of Oklahoma at a recent tournament held at Enid, have closed the season with fourteen consecutive victories and not a single defeat against them.
Forty candidates are out for the Varsity at Williams college, where Ira Thomas, former Philadelphia Athletic catcher, is coaching. A big field of candidates has also turned out at both Columbia and Cornell.
George Murphy, former Missouri track captain, is director of athletics in the ordinance department at Camp Jackson, S. C. George Stateler, star two-miler here last year, is also a 'n'
Camp Jackson. In a recent track meet there, Murphy's ordance team was beaten by a 52-25 score and Statler showed that he is not only a distance man but a spinner as well by placing second in the half-mile, third in the quarter and running in the half-mile relay, which was won by his team.
Inter-sorority baseball games have been started at the University of Michigan and are proving very popular among the women athletes there.

Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra Will Give Concert Here April 22
Comes Under Auspices of School of Fine Arts Instead of Concert Course
Oberhoffer Will Conduct
Professor Preyer of K. U. One of the Solists On Program
The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, under the auspices of the School of Fine Arts, will give a concert April 22, in Robinson Gymnastium, a matinee at 2:30 o'clock, and evening at 8:15 o'clock.
The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, composed of fifty men, with five soloists, Carl Prycer, pianist; Christine Schutz, contrato; Allen MQuelae, tenor; Richard Czerwenky, violinist; and Cornelius Van Vilet, cellist, is under the direction of Emil Oberhoffer. This orchestra is unique in that it is the only one of the great American orchestras which has grown to artistic maturity under the conductor who formed it.
That one of the really great American orchestras should have its home in a northwestern city has excited the wonder of many critics. While the Minnesota Symphony travels over the continent, it is primarily a northwestern institution, and the pride and inspiration of its native state ad city. The orchestra receives a subsidy of $75,000 a year beyond its ticket sales. This enables it to make three tours annually.
Reserved seat tickets admitting to both concerts will be on sale Wednesday, April 10, at the Registrar's Office and the Round Corner Drug Store. Orders by mail, with check and cash, must be made to Harold L. Butler will be filled in the order of the receipt. Main floor will be $1.50, gallery $1.25.
Wider Opportunities Are Offered to Women By Chemistry Courses
Industries Use Experts and Demand is Large for Teachers
There are many opportunities open to women who have specialized in chemistry while in college, according to Prof. Bailey of the department of chemistry, who gives the information in answer to queries of the Vocational Guidance Committee of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae.
First, and most important are the positions in dietetic work, in hospitals, cooking schools, college commons, and health resorts. While these come, in a way, under the caption of Home Economics, a knowledge of chemistry is a preliminary requisition.
Many of the larger manufacturers, both of food and of textiles, are beginning to employ women chemists and the demand is bound to grow rapidly.
Women are also beginning to be employed in the agricultural experiment stations established in every state. Pharmacy, too, is interesting a larger number of women each year, and chemistry is a reason for its laboratories, and public health departments also use women chemis
Teaching of chemistry is also, of course open, both in high schools and colleges, to women who are qualified for the work. This opening is found especially in agricultural colleges and in home economics departments
Howard Haines, who entered the government work as a stenographer, is located in the department of Commerce at Washington. He occupies the place formerly held by Miss Edith Boener, a student in the College in '12, '13, and '14. Miss Boener was given a promotion.
Professor Bailey urges that women who are interested in any branch of chemistry consult with members of the department early in their college course, and find out the necessary preliminary courses to the higher ones which have bearing on their particular work. This is often neglected until the Junior or Senior year, he says, and consequently students must take up a course for which they are insufficiently prepared.

Not Half Enough Wind For A Regular March
Only 7,400 miles of wind characterized this March while previously the wind has run as high as 18,147 miles, and the average rate of wind for March is 5,369 miles higher than this month's average. There was less wind this month than during any other March for the past fifty years.
According to the University of Kansas weather report the past month has been exceeding warm, dry, and calm. The average temperature was 50.88 degrees, which is 8.17 degrees above the usual March temperature. The rainfall was about .78 of an inch which is 1.55 inches below the March average.
The War Here and Over There
WAR THOUGHT FOR TODAY Russia owes the United States 187,779,000 advanced for suppliers which already have gone to Russia. whether or not it will be a trivial United States depends on whether the ultimate government of Russia desires to repudiate the debt or take it over.
The Bolsheviki has abolished the old calendar and church holidays in Russia and confiscated church property to the extent of billions of rubles.
Poultryney Bigelow, a former friend of the Kaiser, says that German efficiency is something we of America cannot comprehend, and that we must fight until the Kaiser's machine is completely broken, if America is to be safe.
The French "luxury list" which includes every article on which a war tax is being levied, recently had listed fur coats, pet cats, corsets, flowers, and sheets.
Someone started the idea that the Red Cross could extract dyes from cancelled postage stamps. The Red Cross denies this and advises people not to waste time collecting and forwarding stamps.
Cold figures collected by the Independent show that the British liquor consumption has been on the increase during the war. The average profits of eighty-six brewing companies during the last three years of the war are nearly 50 per cent greater than during the three years of war, compared with that of the largest companies jumped from $340,500 in 1913 to 81,198,500 made in 1917.
It is up to America to show that war and drink should not be associated with each other.
General Gorgas, surgeon general of the United States army believes it of highest importance that it should be made possible to give higher rank to officers in the medical corps.
The fire loss in the United States during 1917 was a little more than $230,000,000. This is the largest total, and in a war year, that has occurred in the history of the nation with the exception of the year, 1906, when the San Francisco catastrophe occurred.
While the American flag is waving over the European battlefield, there are nearly 10,000,000 American flags waving over the homes of people in this country.

Kirksmith Trio Scores Success as Last Number Of K. U. Concert Course
Cellist, Soprano, and Pianist Present Varied and Pleasing Program
Miss Brainard, Accompanist, Is Unusual Accompanist And Good Solist
First, A Patriotic Number
The concert given last night in Robinson Gymnasium by the Kirksmith Trio was as enthusiastically received as the three preceding numbers in the University Concert Course this year. The trio, composed of Karl Kirksmith, cellist, Anita Taylor, soprano, and Gladys Yew Brainard, pianist, met with the decided approval of Lawrence music lovers.
The patriotic spirit was not forgotten, and the concert opened with the "Star Spangled Banner" by the trio ensemble and the audience.
CELLIST AND PIANIST PLEASE
Mr. Kirksmith is a cellist of unusual ability. Every note was clear and distinct and his tone was quiet. The ease and joy of his bowing was remarkable. His skill was especially well displayed in the selection, "O Cara Memoria," with variations.
Mrs. Taylar's voice gave evicence of a wide range and her highest tones were attained without seeming effort. Her selections were chosen to please a varied audience. Mrs. Taylor is attractive and has an amabilipe pose.
ACCOMPANIST is GOOD BOLDEN:
Had Miss Bramard appeared only as accompaniant, her ability would not have passed. Besides each one Mrs Kirkham in every number and Mrs. Taylor she gave two solo numbers, groups of two and three selections. The success of her selections was remarkable.
While the concert consisted of classical numbers by noted composers throughout, many of the selections were of a lighter nature than ordinarily make up the program of high-class artists. The audience was well with the entire performance and nearly every number was heartily encored.

The Kirksmith Trio concluded this year's concert course.

University Has Courses In Food Conservation
Dean Templin Has Been Made Director of This Work In All Colleges
Regular college credit is given in the last two courses and Dean Templin thinks all who complete the work will be given war certificates in recognition of their work.
Three courses in food conservation are offered this semester by the department of home economics in compliance with the United States Food Administration's request. Dean Oln Templin has been made director of this work in all the colleges, assisting the students selected from different universities, one of whom is Elizabeth C. Sprague of the department of home economics.
Sigma Phi Sigma will give a house dance Saturday night, April 6.
Six women are taking a laboratory course in the use and conservation of foods which is an application of course two. Graduates of this course, so the government bulletin states, will be prepared to act as assistants at official demonstrations. The department is awaiting information as to how many of these assistants will be called this summer.
The best known course is that of the lectures given every two weeks to all the women of the University. The second course deals with the film *War of the World*, a relation to the war. About thirty-seven women are taking this course.
Founder of Department Credited With Instilling Patriotic Spirit in Students
Laws to Compliment Dean of K. U. School With Birthday Dinner
Justice West the Speaker
Banquet Has Been a Feature Since Founding of University
"Uncle Jimmy Day," the day looked forward to and always remembered by every student of the School of Law, will be celebrated Friday night at the Eldridge Hotel. "Uncle Jimmy Day" dates back to the year 1903, when the law school was given a holiday, but according to Dr. William L. Burdick, an annual dinner has been given for the dean of the School of Law ever since the establishment of the School. Until ten years ago the banquet was held in October, but at the suggestion of Dr. Burdick, the date of the celebration was changed to April on the Dean's birthday.
"Uncle Jimmy" was founder of the University of Kansas School of Law and has been dean since 1878. According to law students, he is responsible for every good influence made by the School. Law students always hold together, have more celebrations, more individuality—all due to Uncle Jimmy. The law school has been cut down because of the war, having lost 62 per cent of last year's enrollment, and the reason for this is Uncle Jimmy's patriotism. If a K. U. law graduate of '83 should meet a law graduate of '17 (law students say) that the first question he would ask would be: "How did you leave Uncle Jimmy?"
Mr. Justice J. S. West of the Kansas Supreme Court will be the principal speaker at the banquet Friday night, and talks will be given by three professors of the School of Law—William L. Burdick, Raymond Rice, and E. D. Osborne. Arthur Hurshberger will represent the senior laws, John Murphy the middle laws, and Harold Goodwin the junior laws.
Endeavorers To Meet In District Convention
Six State Officers Will Address Young People Here April 13-14
Definite word was received yesterday that six of the officers of the State Christian Endeaver Union will be in Lawrence for the annual district convention to be held April 13 and 14. R. W. Ellis of Concordia, chairman of the finance committee, will preside at all sessions, Paul M. Williams of Hutchinson, president, will speak at the Sunday afternoon meeting, and Raymond O. Youmans of Kansas City, secretary, will lead a conference on personal evangelism at the same session. Following the conferences, Rev. M. Lee Sorey, pastor of the Christian Church, will give an address, and the Junior Endeavors of Lawrence will present a panege, "Songs of All Nations." The election of officers will take place at this meeting.
The convention opened Saturday afternoon with an examination on "Expert Endeavor," and a supper at 6 o'clock, served by local Endearners. The song service started at 7:30 o'clock at the Christian Church. The main address of the evening will be by Dr. E. H. Given, pastor of the First United Brethren Church of Topeka.
On Friday, April 5, all the men of the University are asked to join in the Liberty Loan Parade.

Plain Tales From The Hill
Otto Hopfer, c.21, wouldn't wear his cap, this morning, no, not he. And the Laws saw Otto. And they saw he had no cap.
Now in a room in the Law Building were some feminine clothes, with which the sportive lawyers had dressed up a chair for Professor Oaborne, in commemoration of his marriage. The Laws got some of these.
Otto was surrounded by a mass of law students. After a while he appeared, resplendent and glorified. He was adorned with a bright pink dress, taffeta silk, latest creation. Where his cap ought to have been was a woman's hat. One leg was daintily white silk-stockinged.
The Laws chased Otto to Spooner and back. It was between classes, and witnesses were abundant. Then they removed the freshman's mortifying apparel, and stored it away for the next offender.
According to Mrs. Wood B. Highbrow the piano solo by Miss Brainard at the concert last night entitled "Millet-hair Mayonnaise" was well rendered.
Work on the Hill must be getting inerder these days when a student is o tired by bed time that he goes to sleep in the bath tub.
How many of you students ever took the trouble to wonder if the caption "Plain Tales From The Hill" was original here at K. U.? No, probably not, it is just another of the small things which we have taken for granted. However, it was originally one of the happy thoughts of Rudyard Kipling. It is the title of one of his books of short stories, the settings of which are around and in the hills of Himalaya.
She, "It is 4 'o clock and I must go o' swimming class."
He, "Is Miss Diveley in that class?"
A Freshman recently applied for a place in the Men's Glee Club and Prof. Franklin Hunt, the director asked if he could read music readily. "I don't know one note from the other," the Freshman replied.
"Well," said Professor Hunt, "thee doesn't seem to have a very wide range."
"She's put on a Beta pin." "Who's?"
"Oh, I didn't hear. Does it matter?" "I bet we see an ad in the Kansan loat, strayed, or stolen."
Trifling Troubles of the Daylight Saving Plan:
It is too light at 7 o'clock to study.
It is too dark to get up at 7 a.m.
It is too clear to leave a date at
10 o'clock.
Kirk Veeder, c'20, is a loyal American and is not responsible for the sound of his name. He is also a diligent student of history in Professor Davis's class on "Diplomacy of the War." The other night Veeder stood up in bed and waved the bed clothes over his head and yelled, "Down with the Kaiser! Republicanism forever!"
Of all queer sights that have ever been seen the queerest perhaps is to see a student on his way to military drill dressed in khaki uniform with $v$ Freshman cap upon his head.
There was a young student from Connecticut
Who thought that from class he could take a cut
take a cut.
But when the Professor got there
You should have heard that Prof.
Now the Stude don't think he'll take another cut.

K. U. Men Will March In Liberty Loan Parade With Townsmen Friday
Drill Companies To Report Early, In Uniform and With Arms
To Omit 2 o'Clock Classes
Physical Training Credit Given For Those Taking Part In Procession
3. There will be no Physical Training work given for men on Friday at any hour aside from participation in the parade.
4. Roll call will be held next week to determine what students participated in the parade and absences recorded.
1. All University work will be closed from 2 to 3 o'clock Friday afternoon that the University may participate in the exercises downtown, and it is desired that all University men march in the parade.
2. By order of W. O. Hamilton, the Department of Physical Education will credit men who march in the parade with their physical training or military work for that day.
5. University men not in the military companies will form on Thirteenth Street between Tennessee and Kentucky.
6. University Military Companies will form according to orders issued by the Commandant.
F RANK STRONG,
Chancellor
...
All University of Kansas work will be closed Friday afternoon from 2 to 3 o'clock so that the University can take a part in the exercises downtown and so that the men of K. U may march in the patriotic parade of the day. All men have been excused from exercise and military classes that afternoon so that they can march in the parade, but the regular rolls will be called so that complete units will be formed in the parade.
The University band will head the Kansas contingent in the parade. The K. U. regiment of nearly 300 men will meet with arms at Robinson Gymnasium at 2 o'clock instead of the usual 4 o'clock hour. From there they will go to the formation ground at Thirteenth and Massachusetts Street. Many of the men will have their uniforms to wear. Men not in the regiment will form for the parade on Thirteenth Street between Tennessee and Kentucky Streets.
Hopes of Red Cross In K. U. Salvage Box
The most hopeful hope chest in Lawrence has just been emptied for the seventieth time in seven weeks. Sounds like a seventy times seven parable or a 1918 model of Aladdin's lamp, but it's neither. It's just the result of Kansas thrift, a la femme; the gathering together of the useless little things, like tin foll, that count when gathered together and sold.
Tinfoli, appearing by the pound and in the bulk, testifies to the University's appetite for chocolate bars, gum, and cigarettes. One University-wise collector has chosen Fourteenth Street between Howard's and Spooner as her regular tinfoli beat and collects a walnut-sized wad of silvery oil along it daily. Some collectors prefer to present their silver offerings in balls at the store, others in a box full. In spring in the tinfoli men will come around and leave the Red Cross the richer.
Enough burnt-out electric bulbs have been turned in to light the campus, and glass bottles by the wheelbarrow full get truredd over to the store room every Saturday. Bushels of cold cream jars are parcel posted to the Kansas City salvage box; rubber goes to the junk man.
The hope of the hope chest is to help win the war by selling its contents. So far K. U. has kept it hopeful. The hope chest promises to continue hopeful till seventy times seven weeks are past—unless tinflow covered articles are ruled off the Hill as non-essentials.

NEW WAR-BREAD
THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1918.
Food administration officers in Boston issued a warning to householders early this week to look out for ground glass in all bread. Not sand that a breeze across the plains in harvest time might rift into the wheat, not obdurate "old maids" from the chaff, but glass, pulverized glass that will lacerate the lining of the stomach and cause internal bleeding. German murder brot for American women and children—that's what it is.
Every German who has anything to do with the harvesting of wheat, the making of flour, the baking of bread, or with any part of the shipment of products from the beginning to the end of the process should now come under suspicion. He should be watched. She should be watched. And if guilt be attached the penalty should be death.
Prussianism is not confined to the Western Front. It is not confined to the range of a gun which deals death to French women kneeling at the foot of the Cross. It is not confined to soldiers. It is among civilians here in America.
The supposedly innocent, guilless stolidity that banks itself round with a Liberty Bond, a few well stuck thrift stamps, and a Red Cross contribution or so, is the wooden externality of smoldering fiendishness. It is true that such a sweeping indictment blankets guilty and as yet not guilty without any discrimination. But how can one distinguish? How can one issue clearance from blame at such a time?
The bread that sustains labor, that nourishes little children, the bread the American home depends upon is unsafe and must be watched. Yes, watch it—but let a vigilant government watch the assemblage of every element that goes to make that bread—watch every German hand that has a share in it or comes near it. If one of those hands sprinkles glass, let it be cut off in memory of Belgium even before the supreme penalty for crime be inflicted upon the life and will that guided that hand.
Wanted: A tenant to occupy No Man's Land permanently; must be American, British or French.
CRACKING BATS AT TWILIGHT The Hash House League seems to be flickering out. It is hard to place the blame for the indifference to the wholesome old baseball game. For one thing a smaller number of men are in school this year. Possibly the adoption of compulsory military drill or physical exercise has lessened enthuisiasm.
However this may be, intramural sports certainly should not disappear
from the campus. Because this is wartime there is all the more reason for athletics to go on as nearly normal as possible among us "stay at homes" at K. U. Athletic directors at army and navy training camps cannot give their too much football, basketball, wrestling and boxing. Fighting men must be in trim. The same principle holds good for those who are not as yet enlisted. They must be fit if they are to carry on the work at home.
Since an extra hour has been added to our daily schedule the Hash House League can, if it wishes, manage its games on a twilight schedule. Games could be staged from seven to eight, or even from six-thirty to eight o'clock.
Then let the old bats crack again in a genuinely universal game. No spectators, all participants, all alive for that extra hour of light which the powers that be have given us to do something good with.
THE GREATER COURAGE
The halfback on the football team, who after months of hard training goes into the biggest game of the year made confident and courageous by loyal support from the crowded bleachers is satisfied that he is putting up a worth-while fight, for is not the entire school behind him and the team?
The surest harbinger of spring has appeared—the Freshman cap.
And when he, at his signal, runnig low carries the ball over tackle for a fifteen-yard gain the throng in the bleachers go wild over the thing he has accomplished. Those 'cheers are recompense enough for the hard and dragging days of practice, those days when he thought many times of giving up. But he has been paid. His alma mater has considered his service of worth and has rewarded him with her support.
Suppose that instead of a football player the man is attempting to gain honor for his University and himself—is a debater. His efforts are no way less monotonous than those of the halfback. He must slave day after day and night after night in preparing for the debate. He must delve deep into the dry and uninteresting facts of history and congressional records. His exhaustive search for one small fact which might have a bearing on the question must be faithful and sure, even though it is tiresome and tedious.
And then comes the biggest debate of the year. The debater awaits the hour of the conflict hoping he will be supported by goodly numbers of his fellow students. He goes on the stage and confronts perhaps a hundred persons. They may be the loyal few but they are not enough. The debater is chilled and disappointed; his inspiration fades and he loses his confidence in himself and his team. His battle is harder.
And yet the while he misses the glory and the tumult that should come with victory, he may take consolation in this. If the football game had to be fought with a couple dozen spectators who were almost lost on the stands which should seat a couple dozen thousand,—the game wouldn't be played at all. Greater is the courage of him who can stand to his opponent and stand alone. That courage and all praise thereof belongs to the debater.
CAME TO WORK, BUT DATED
This here school life at Kansas U.
is sure exhilaratin; ; too dawgon
much for some that came to work but
started dinin'. I ain't no crab, I
am satisfied, (satisfied I'm goin' to
flunk) for I'm the guy that had
the dates with Miss High Brow from
Podunk. I sure have had one rippin'
time, for me there wasn't no cure;
I ran in high the whole darn way and
never had no puncture.
HE CAME TO WORK, BUT DATED
But now I'm forced to call retreat; like old Paul, my course is run: my gas is gettin' awful low, with my ride here just begun. There n't anybody else to blame but me, for I have sure
been lazy, unless it is those K. U
girls, who set the fells crazy.
I came here with a high resolve; I'd study like a fool: I didn't know what study girls they kept in this here school. My high resolve got busted up before I'd been here long, and it wasn't no time after that until my grades went wrong.
Today I got a nice invite from the wise old faculty, sayin' 'I could leave for my home town, they'd do quite well without me. That makes me mad as all get out and though you won't believe it, I'm gain' to pack my duds today and by gosh I'm gain' home.
The Philologist
A Few Words With Him Every Day
"Yes," resumed the Philologist, "the word 'palfrey' did change its form somewhat, but the meaning has remained practically unchanged, and the pronunciation has changed so little since the time of William the Conqueror that even he would have no difficulty in recognizing our word. And there are lots of other words that he might know when he saw or heard them, although he would known them in another meaning. They would puzzle him because we use them with an entirely different significance. It is surprising how words shift from one meaning to another.
"And you are saying 'For instance'. Well, take this piece of furniture," he prounded, tapping the desk in front of him assiduously, rythmically, with a long, bony finger, "in modern French they call it 'bureau', but in William's time the word was the name for a kind of cloth. The serbes and scriveners of that day used that cloth for a desk-cover, then extended the use of the word to the desk itself, later to the room in which the desk stood, and finally to the people who occupied the room, so that now we speak of 'Labor Bureau's' and the like.
"Of course there is another shift of meaning when a word passes from one language to another. For example: the French word for desk 'puppitre' is our word 'pulpit'; the French word for 'pulpit' is 'chair' and became our word 'chair'; and the French word for 'chair' is 'chaise' which we use to designate a kind of two-wheeled carriage. You can easily see how the last word originated. The first 'chaise' was a sedan-chair on wheels. "Yes, yes,—I imagine you are right," admitted the Philologist, as he turned to his manuscript and absintemely tried to erase a word with the end of his fountain-pen. "William would probably require the services of an interpreter if he or his shade went abroad among us today."
MENTAL LAPSES
Chance To Escape
During the week certain members of the flock had been paying overmuch attention to sampling the local whisky, and the "meenister"—this is the took advantage of his position in the pulpit to administer gentle reproof.
At that moment a fly settled on the book before him. He raised his fist. "You're gain' tae the bottomless pit!" he shouted. "And you'll get there just sue sure as I ding the life out o' his 'fly?'"
‘An’ I tell ye, one an all, ye’re on the way to perdition!’ he cried.
"Missed!" he ejaculated. "Ah, well,
maybe there's a chance for some o' ye
yet!?"—Ex.
His fist crashed down as he uttered the words. Then he looked to see the results of his handiwork.

Dinner in New York; Breakfast in Chicago—
SOME OF US have peculiar ideals. Frederick D. Underwood, President of the Erie Railroad, holds as his ideal, to be able to take evening dinner in New York and sit down to breakfast in Chicago.
The presen time of the fastest trains between Chicago and New York is twenty hours, but it will be seen that when Mr. Underwood's ideal is fulfilled, the time will be cut down to about 12 or 14 hours. A remarkable accomplishment!
Yes, we all have ideals—you, myself and—the Daily Kansan! The latter holds as its ideal, a greater and bigger K. U. with all he necessary improvements, a closer relationship between faculty and students, and more particularly as it relates directly to the paper,—to serve to the best ability the students of the University.

Extra Hour Breaking Morale of Students
The morale of University students has been materially weakened, almost broken, under the terrific bombardment of the Daylight Saving onslaught. Although K. U.'s espionage system has predicted the offensive to the minute, students were unprepared when it came.
When the clocks stole a march of one hour on old Father Time, an extra hour of light was granted after supper. This proved the downfall of Kansas forces. For with most perfect baseball and tennis weather, how could one resist getting out the old mitt and ball or racket and trying out a new ball? And when it does get so dark that one can not see the ball, the student reluctantly gathers up his paraphernalia and enters the house.
There the timepieces tell him that it is 9 o'clock. By the time he gets down to study it is nearly time to go to bed in order to take eight hours of repose before getting up for a sunrise breakfast and 8 o'clock chasen. Not sure whether to break out the new plan; he rather it. On the other hand, he rather like it.
But it is breaking his morale in that it gives him a glorious opportunity to evade studying. Lessons suffer, and flunks pile up more quickly. Although there is always a slackening of work when spring comes, this year's drive made it greater. As days get longer

Interclass Track Meet To Be Held April 12; Men Prepare for Drake
May Choose Captain This After noon—Captain-Elect O'Leary In the Service
The spring interclass meet at the University of Kansas will be held on McCook Field, April 12, Coach W. O. Hamilton announced today. This gives the track man a week to get ready for the Drake relay games at Des Moines, Ia., which are held the next Friday, April 19. The track athletes have been working for more than two weeks getting into trim for the outdoor track season and this will be the first change K. U. track fans will have to see the outdoor team in action.
Varsity track men may compete in this meet and any other student in the University is eligible to take part in the meet. Medals are given for the first four places. The freshmen sophomores best spirits, the sophomores especially having a large number of Varsity men on their team.
The track captain of this season's team probably will be elected this afternoon. Men who competed in the Missouri and Kansas Aggies meets will be eligible to vote for captain. Captain-elect Dorman O'Leary has been in the service since last summer and is now in aviation work.
Two relay teams probably will be sent to the Drake relay games, on April 19. Coach Hamilton expects to take men to run in the half and mile relay. The following week Rice, the veteran high jumper, and Haddock, the crack dash and weight man, will be entered in the Penn Relay games at Philadelphia on April 26. Although the date or location has not been definiable that the Missouri Valley track meet will be held at Columbia, Mo, on May 26, instead of at Ames, Ia., where it was originally scheduled. Because of the early closing of the school at Ames, a change was necessary.
The K. U. track team this season seems to have a long run of hard luck. John D. Shreve has not been out for practice this week and members of the track team believe that he has received his call for service in the navy because he had enlisted nearly three months ago. He was one of the best runners in the quarter mile and was a good man in the mile relay. Erval Coffey was canvassed by the draft staff of Douglas County last week, leaving a vacancy in the half mile to be filled. Murphy, one of the two old men back for the team this season, has been handling this event alone this week, but there are several candidates out for the other place in this event.
Twenty to thirty men are trying positions on the team, but thus far much of the material has shown up as mediocre. Hard work is the program which Coach Hamilton has mapped out for the men from now until the Interclass Track Meet and then the following week in preparation for the Drake Games. The coach has handpicked by cold weather, a heavy wind, and the loose condition of the track. Little fast time has been made partially because of the poor condition of the McCook Field track, but work which is being done daily is getting it into a little better shape.
Schoenfeldt Called To Great Lakes Station
Veteran Infielder Will Not Play With Team—Must Report At Once
At Once
The second Varsity-freshman battle the last night again resulted in a score of 2-0 for the Varsity. The game went only three innings because of a late start, but the teams lined up on the McCook diamond and both the Varsity and freshmen were fencing in much cleaner form than Tuesday night on Hamilton field. Hitting was weak, however, and two Varsity hits in the second innning were the only solid blows during the game.
Dutch Schoenfelft, veteran Varsity indefiler, who has not been out this week, appeared on the field with the news that he has received a call to report to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station at once and will not be able to play with the team. His departure prompts the Navy's later defense, as he was counted upon to take care of second base.
Both teams played airight ball in the field and there was not an error
made during the contest. Neither the Varnity nor fresh scored in the first innning, but Dutch Uhrlubn walked to start the second and Smith scored him with a three-base hit to deep left field. Lonberg then cracked a long drive to left center for three sacks that scored the victory in the scoring for the evening was over.
Weltmer and Dunn were not in uniform, and Kitchen did the receiving for the Varsity. Slawson worked in the box. Coach Bond made several changes in both the infield and outfield in order to give every candidate a chance to show his ability. Willems played first base, Uhlraub, who played first Tuesday, was shifted to second and Cherry was at short. Lonborg again performed at third and handed three chances. With this he got Bill Cilor hold down the center garden and Tom Pringle was in right. Stem Foster was out in uniform and will probably be used in the infield today.
Coach Wedell used his regular freshman lineup with Brite doing the catching, Pierce and Marxen in the boxx, Harms on first, McClead playing second, Murphy on short, Lashley on third and Vermillion, Shields and Pudkins in the outfield.
SPORT BEAMS
Coach Sermon is working his big field of baseball candidates hard at Central College and has his team practically picked for the first game of the season.
Eighteen fraternity and other organization teams at Ames have organized into two leagues, the National and the American, and play has already begun in earnest. A schedule has been arranged by which the teams will play until the end of the school year.
Joie Ray, Ward, a former star University of Chicago, spinner, Joe Loomis, and Eby are star speedsters who will appear at the Annual Central A. A. U. track meet to be held in Chicago Saturday,
There are only two letter men among the eighteen candidates for positions on the nine at the Warrensburg Normal School. Dr. Phog Allen, the Normal coach, believes that he will develop a real team from his green material, however.
The annual track meet between Missouri and Ames will be staged at Columbia April 13. With Shelch, Pittam, Sylvester, and Berry back, it looks like another cleanup for the Tigers on the cinder path.
The inter-fraternity basketball season is just closing at the University of Minnesota. The Phi Kappa five defeated the Alpha Tau Omega quintet in the last game that has been played, 17-10.
Hand grenade throwing will probably be introduced into the track meets among the Big Ten schools this year, according to the decision at a meeting held in Chicago Saturday. The points will be awarded for accuracy, speed in throwing and distance.

K. U.'s War Activities In One Year of Conflict Of No Mean Proportion
Liberal Contributions Are Made To Y.M.C.A. and Red Cross Funds
Woman Gives A Diamond
Special Courses in War Instruction Well Attended—Many of Men Drill
This question seems to be satisfactorily answered when some of the things K. U. has done during the year are considered.
Is the University doing its part in the war?
For the Y. M. C. A. Students' Friendship Fund, $7,525 has been paid in cash. The total pledge is $12,000. Registrar George O. Foster says the payments are coming in continually and the entire pledge will be paid. Liberty Bonds to the amount of $150 have been turned from fraternities for the same diamond young woman gave her diamond ring.
THRIFT STAMPS BOUGHT
For the Armenian relief more than
$3,500 were given by the students.
$8,500 were given by the students.
The large sum raised for the Red Cross was turned into the Douglas County fund.
Two hundred and fifty Baby Bonds and 400 Thrift Stamps have been sold to students through the Registrar's office alone, and they have been on sale for only fifteen days.
Regular classes for women in surgical dressing and food conservation have been formed. Military drill for an hour a day has been made compulsory for men and an hour a day of exercise is compulsory for women.
In the spring students leaving school for farm work or joining some branch of the service will be given their credits if their standing is good.
MORE THAN 1000 IN SERVICE.
There are 1150 students and alumni of the University in various branches of the military service.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. APRIL. 5. 1918
At present there are thirty-five students taking typewriting and seventeen taking stenography, without credit, the majority of them preparing for college. All our particular classes in War French and Food Conservation are well attended.
Women's Organizations Will March In Parade
in the past year twenty-six members of the faculty have received leaves of absence for war work or military service. Of these twelve have gone into some branch of war work, and fourteen have enlisted in actual military service.
Liberty Loan Committee of 100 Members Will Boost Sale of Bonds
The Women's National Liberty Loan Committee for Douglas County, which is composed of 100 members, will boost the sale of the Liberty Loan Bonds. Mrs. J. R. Bechtel is the city chairman and Mrs. H. E. Don Carlos is the county chairman.
The following members have been chosen to make four minute speeches over the county:
Mrs. J. W. O'Brien, Mrs. Harold Butler, Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes, Mrs. Frank Strong, Miss.Helen Eacker, Mrs.A. C. Terrill, Mrs.T. H. Chalkley, Mrs.J. B. Buchter, Mrs.R. D. O'Leary, Mrs. T. H. Kennedy, and Mrs. Anna Arnette.
The organization will be in the parade today with Mrs. J. L. Killworth as marshal and leader. All of the women's organizations of the city will be represented.
Former Kansan Editor Enlists In The Navy
Everett Palmer, former editor-in-chief of the Daily Kansan, has enlisted in the navy and left today. He probably will be stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, Ill. Mr. Palmer is a member of the Kansan Board and was assistant news editor this month. He was enrolled as a junior. His home is at Jewell.
He is the second editor-in-chief of the Kansan to be called to the navy this year. Harley Holden enlisted in the radio corps in December.
Stamp Sales Boosted By War Savings Society
Efforts of the finance committee of the University War Committee to push the sale of War Savings Stamps have resulted in the formation of a University War Saving Society with a membership of a majority of the faculty and a large proportion of the student body. Many fraternities and sororities have joined practically in a body.
Membership is open to all University students. Because membership in the University War Saving Society requires that all members purchase War Savings Stamps at least to the extent of five dollars by July 1, the society is expected to give considerable impetus to the sale of War Savings Stamps. The society also plans to do work in May in the Red Cross campaign.
The War Here and Over There
WAR THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The star humorist of George Creel's staff touches the high water mark when he assures us that Secretary Baker has gone above "to speed up the "Allies." -Boston Herald.
American flags provided by France have been placed over the caskets of the first American troops who died in battle.
The Red Cross has just organized a bureau to supply information on casualties among soldiers, with William R. Castle, Jr., former dean of Harvard College, in charge.
According to the Rheinisch-Westfälische Zeitung, wood is now being largely used in place of ivory, celluloid and other substances in the manufacture of combs in Germany. Excellent toilet combs, it is stated, are made from thinly cut, faultless birch and beechwood.
After several days of comparative inactivity along the battle lines in Picardy fierce fighting by the Germans has wielded some ground around the critical sectors east of the city if Amiens.
The government is constructing a restaurant that will accommodate 860 persons at one time and will serve 5000 a day for the convenience of the employees of the Ordnance Department in Washington.
The United States Food Administration has shipped 1500 farm tractors to France, in order to increase France's crops and to lighten the burden of toll on her old men, women and children.
Clerks in two of the government departments in Washington have adopted 150 children in response to an appeal of the organization known as The Fatherless Children of France.
Friends and relatives who are disgruntled or distressed by the delay of mail and packages sent to their boys in France must remember that some 3,000,000 pieces a month are sent to the soldiers there. The boys are scattered all over France and the small number of delays, though unfortunate, seems unavoidable.
Not all of those who are injured in an attack at the front are carried to rear on stretchers. Hundreds of them, even those who are seriously hurt, make their own way to the dressing stations. It is a point of honor for the men to do this if it is physically possible—and every fight with the enemy little groups may be seen stumbling cheerfully but painfully away from the battle.
The total casualties among the American expeditionary forces, announced by the War Department on March 20, are 1,961. Of this number, 1,300 are deaths and 618 are wounded. Fourteen are missing and twenty-one have been captured. Six hundred and one have died in action. Seven civilians have died; and six soldiers have died as a result of being gassed. Only thirty-seven have been killed in action and 147 have been killed by accident.
Because of the depletion in the teachers' ranks, married women will be permitted to fill their places by order of the United States Commissioner of Education, P. P. Claxton.
The Rota Club will meet in the Women's Rest Room, Saturday at 2:30 p.m.

Am Getting Younger
Is Word Uncle Jimmy
Gives Laws At Banquet
Chancellor Strong Better
Many Law Students Attended Uncle Jimmy's Seventy-seventh Birthday
"Well, I'm getting younger every year," remarked Uncle Jimmy Green, at the school of Law banquet in his honor Thursday night at the Eldridge Hotel. For the Laws had heraled their dean as 76 years old, but Uncle Jimmy explained that he is really 77 and he could be in seventy-fifth birthday, for they say he is getting younger to them every year.
A larger percentage of the students in the School of Law attended the banquet this year than ever before, the law students said this morning. As a result, 62 percent for the school has lost 62 per cent of last year's enrollment.
"It was a fine banquet," said Uncle Jimmy, this morning. "But there was many a vacant chair. For there are only sixteen seniors, when there would be fifty but for the war, and more are leaving soon. I hate to see them go, but it is their duty."
The working of the Kansas Supreme Court was explained by Mr. Justice J. S. West of that body. He said the opinions of the Supreme Court expressed the opinions of the whole and not of one man, as is sometimes thought, even among lawyers. Each case is gone over individually by all members of the court, and discussed by all in a meeting. After the opinion is written up, it is gone over again by the court, the speaker explained.
Tribute to Uncle Jimmy and the war were the chief themes of the other speakers. Prof. Raymond Rice was toastmaster Ira Snyder, a graduate of the School of Law in 1912, came from Denver, Colo., to attend and speak at the banquet. Judge James H. Mitchell of Lawrence gave a lecture on the role that speaker for the school faculty, while the students were represented by three men, Arthur Hurshberger, from the seniors laws, John Murphy, from the middle laws, and Harold Goodwin from the juniors.
German Drive An Aid To U. S. in Floating Third Liberty Loan
Danger of Situation Makes People Eager to Invest, Professor Boynton Says
"The Third Liberty Loan should be easier to float than either of the preceding two." This statement was made by Prof. A. A. J. Boynton, head of the department of economics, concerning the drive to commence Friday, April 5. "The German drive could not have been timed more opportunely to aid the selling of these bonds. People are wrought up over the situation, and will be more willing than before to invest in the aid of the government. Furthermore, the people have become acquainted with the nature of the bonds, and know they are a safe investment and are exempt from taxation.
“There are, nevertheless, some difficulties connected with selling the bonds. Money is in demand, and corporations are offering bonds bearing 8 and 9 per cent. There is a temptation on the part of the people to buy these securities in place of the Liberty Loan bonds bearing by $4 \frac{1}{2} $ per cent, in spite of the fact that the former are subject to taxation. Also, there is some competition with the War-Savings Stamps and the Baby Bonds, many preferring this type of investment.
"People should retain the bonds after purchasing them, until their maturity. Many buy the bonds and sell them in a day or two slightly below par, thinking they have done their patriotic duty, when in reality they have merely pushed the burden of waiting for the maturity of the bonds onto someone else.
Sousa's Navy Band Plays Here Sunday
"It is a time when all should help win the war by purchasing Liberty Loan Bonds in accordance with their ability, and by retaining them until the time of maturity."
John Phillip Sousa and his 50-piece band from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, Ill., will be in Lawrence Sunday afternoon for an open air concert in South Park. The band will arrive in Lawrance from Topeka at 3:50 o'clock, and the concert starts at 4:15.
If the weather is bad, the band will play at the Bowersock Theater, although the theater undoubtedly would not hold the crowd. The band is making a tour of the Middle West in the interests of the Third Liberty Loan campaign.
Serve and save—buy War-Saving Stamps!

Plain Tales From The Hill
— Spooner Library underwent some spring housecleaning during the short vacation. The injunction to those freezing rooms is main reading room formerly read —
Enter ye the Reading Room and watch your step; for wide is the aisle and rotten the carpet that leads to the librarian's desk, and many there are
A broad strip of cork linoleum has replaced the worn out matting and the injunction now reads—
Enter ye the Reading Room and lift up your feet; for wide is the aisle and corking is the linoleum that leads to the librarian's desk, and many there are who drag their heels.
One of our fair young women was amusing herself with a tiny chicken the other evening. A friend overheard her crooning, "Kitty, kitty, kitty," and she seemed not to realize her mistake.
Judging from the twinkling of new diamonds and fraternity pins on georgette blouses, Cupid has been making great advances in his Spring Drive.
The people who attended Lieutenant Nance's lecture in Fraser one day this week were not sure at the opening of the lecture whether he was a hobo or a crook. The lieutenant said that the popular opinion used to that the army was made up of hoboes and crooks: "But, said he, "some of my folks were in the army."
Some people who have "never seer the ocean or never seen the sea" have some queer ideas about Uncle Sam's "Jackies." One dry-land yesterday asked one of our students, who has just enlisted in the Navy, why the sailors have such flaring bottoms on their trousers. When told that the trousers are made that way so that they could be updressed up the knees when the sailors scrub the deck, he replied, "Well, 1 always thought that they were made that way so that they could be kicked off in a hurry if there was a wreck."
The ways of a class president are hard. Bruce Fleming, of the sophomore class admits it. Bruce has been advertising a sophomore class dance for Saturday night. Had the posters out and everything was done. You see, the class needs the money to pay for its picture in the Jayhawker and the dance was for that purpose. Then yesterday he found that the music which he had hired couldn't play after all. He hadn't made it hard. The president called every pianist in town and in Topeka. But they all had work. So he called Kansas City. Kansas City had one extra pianist it wasn't using. He got him. She the class gets money for its annual picture after all. But it's a hard life
Two girls looked admiringly across the campus at an array of Freshman caps in their first appearance for the spring.
"I wish they would have something for the girls to wear," one of them ventured. "I think it would be fun." "Yes," the other replied. "Then no one would ask me if this is my ast year."
A visitor on the Hill from Boston this week admired the view of the Wakarusa Valley and said that among all of the universities that he had visited in the United States, he had never found one that had such a beautiful view of farm land under cultivation as cur university. Coming from outside where what he great deal of snow he was surprised to find that Kansas could have such fine weather at this time of year.
University Joins Town In Celebration To Open Liberty Loan Campaign
No amount is too small to LEND TO YOUR COUNTRY. Buy War-Savings Stamps!
Campus Drill Companies Take Part in Parade and Classes Suspend
Birkhead Is Chief Speaker
Separate Record To Be Kept of Bonds Bought by Students and Faculty
With the greatest din in the history of the sedate little town the Third Liberty Loan Campaign was launched at 2 o'clock this afternoon when all the town and University bells and whistles summoned participants in the Liberty parade to assemble.
The parade, headed by the Women's Loan Committee, with all patriotic organizations following, the Grand Army of the Republic, Lawrence battalion of Kansas State Guards, Boy Scouts, the Haskell casket batallion, the Kansas University battalion, and the Lawrence, Haskell and University bands, marched from the corner of Thirteenth and Massachusetts down the main street to the Bowersock, where the citizens of Lawrence attended the meeting. Leon Birkhead was the chief speaker.
All business of the town, including street car service, was suspended from 2 to 1 a o'clock for the celebration at the University were dismissed.
A committee composed of volunteers from the University faculty will start work next week to get subscriptions for the loan among faculty members of the institution. Because the blanks have not yet arrived, and the clearing house has not made a decision to take in the matter, the active work of this committee cannot start this week.
Subscriptions to the loan by University people will be kept track of so that every one can know what part the University has in the campaign. According to the terms of this third Liberty Loan five per cent may be paid down, twenty per cent May 28, with no payment in June, thirty-five per cent July 18, and the remaining forty per cent in August. This loan bears four and one-fourth per cent interest.
Senator Borah, Former K. U. Man, Asks United Support OfThe People
Great Patriotic Speech Made After Debate on Price of Wheat
In a letter from Dean Olin Templem from Washington, he encloses a copy of the speech of Senator William T. Beacah of Idaho with this comment;
"I wish every Kansan could read the speech of Senator Borah delivered in the Senate the other night at the close of a very irritating debate on the regulation of the price of wheat. Because Mr. Borah was a University of Kansas student, a farm boy from Rice County, the address would doubtless be more interesting than, otherwise; and yet, aside from that fact, it ought to be read by every student. It has been repeatedly pronounced the first address of the year next to those of President Wilson."
SPEECH SECOND TO FRESIDENT'S
The address is printed in the New
York Times for March 24. A copy of
this will be posted on the Fraser Hall
bulletin board. Extracts from the
speech follow:
"No man in this contest can be indifferent to the situation upon the theory that he is not geared up to some activity in connection with the war. Whether he is upon the farm, in the workshop, in the factory, or in the law office, in the police department, if he is doing his duty; or, if he is not doing his duty, he is menacing this great conflict in which we are now engaged.
"You may put upon the western front all the soldiers that you can build ships to carry, but if there is not behind them a united and determined people, aroused and thoroughly understanding the fact that we are all a part of the contest, we shall not be able to succeed in the end.
"Shall men, shall the people, be

FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1918.
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY
One year ago today the United States entered the world war. Today there are more than 100,000 Americans in France efficiently trained and well equipped, ready and anxious to take their places in that glorious army under General Foch. American engineers have built miles of permanent railroads throughout France
Today there are thousands of the best of our American men in camps ready for the overseas trip—each a specialist in his own particular line of war work. There are just as many more thousand men in intensive training in the latest method of modern warfare.
Today, the American woman has learned more about food and food values than her mother could have dreamed of knowing. Business, wholesale and retail has been organized on a solid basis with equal consideration for producer and consumer. Hoover has been food administrator for months and there have been no stories of starvation as a consequence. In fact Americans are living better without the luxuries of last year and with the substitutes that become a necessity in these "less" days.
Today, we know, thanks to Mr. Garfield, that the predicted horrors of a coalless winter were not realized. Furthermore, warmth was maintained at the least possible cost.
Today there is an understanding between labor and capital that would have seemed almost fictious a year ago. There have been strikes, many of them and there will be more. But the agreements which follow possess permanency and satisfaction.
One year ago today there was democracy, a theoretical sort of democracy which at times was seemingly selfcentered and narrow in its practices. Today a practical democracy, applicable to every person and every right manner of living, is here just because there is a common purpose in food and fuel administration, in the affiliation of labor and capital and the support of the first hand fighters on America's side in the world war
The Germans have put one oven on Luther Burbank, for they handed the Russians a perfectly good olive-branch bearing full-grown lemons.—Hickory (N. C). Record.
"ELIZA" TO PUSH INCOME BILL The permanent income play, "Eliza Comes To Stay" was a success. But the very fact that organizations at the University must give plays to secure funds with which to push the mill tax legislation for a permanent income for the University, is in itself a reflection upon the state's financial management of the University.
At present the University is uncertain of its future and unable to make tenable plans. Its income is dependent upon political playfullness, egotism, penury, or spasmodical indulgence. It is a parallels situation with that of little Johnny, who goes to father and asks for a new pair of shoes. Father, with a snowl remarks that he will have to consider the matter, and see whether Johnny did not wear out those last shoes sooner than he should, and if so why he wore them out, and whether Johnny could not really get along without another pair of shoes anyway. In the meantime, Johnny and the University alike pray for the best, but take what comes
A permanent income is a necessity, not a fad. This is no selfishness on the part of the University; nothing more than an entirely innocent and commendable desire to survive. It is asking for a guaranteed annual income based upon a conservative estimate of actual needs. A permanent income lays a reliable base for healthy and secure growth.
By faith men can move mountains; consistent, prolonged, faithful and properly directed effort must move this mountain. The Dramatic Club in making their contribution, are to be commended for both spirit and deed.

He was not doing anything of importance. But he leafed around until he barely had time to make the train. The result was that he was late to the engagement and caused a tiresome delay to the party. He might have planned to start earlier, but—
PROVIDE THE SINEWS OF WAR
Providing the sinews of war is a much the duty of the college student as of the business world. The nation's next call is for more money to continue the task of beating back the Kaiser and his tribe. It must be answered by every individual if the United States expects to force the war to a successful conclusion. "Loyalty," said Lieutenant K. F. Nance in Fraser Chapel, "means co-operation." Giving dollars to the government in the third Liberty Loan expresser faith in the work of our officials.
For without money the country is helpless. Without it no soldier could cross the water to take his place in the front line trench; no sailor could guide him safely across; no ammunition, food and equipment could follow him. In fact, he could not even get to camp for his training. There would be no ships to transport him and none to carry over his supplies. Not a single shipbuilder could drive a bolt.
With it thousands of men can reach France; thousands more can patrol the seas while other thousands build ships, prepare munitions and equipment and rig airplanes. Cranes will groan under the weight of beams as they swing into place. The sharp staccate of the pneumatic riveter along with the heavy whir of machinery, the clanking of chains, the ring of the anvil and the pounding of hammers will drown out the shouted orders of bosses in the shipyards.
Is the applause at the appearance of a public performer a token of the audience's appreciation or merely to to stop the talking of those who have been engaged in gossip during the intermission?
Seven billion dollars have been subscribed by people of the United States in the previous two bond campaigns. The Treasury Department is asking for three billion more in the new campaign that is to be launched April 6. The bonds are issued so that those with a scanty income can obtain a bond as well as the capitalists. The old fashioned bucket brigade was as effective in fighting fire as there was co-operation among the fighters. Like fighting fire, licking the Kaiser will require our united effort.

SAVE IT too! Buy War-Savings
Stamps!

Who goeth to class quite unprepared,

AN ARMCHAIR GENERAL
The Paris "Gaulois" is famous for good stories. The latest to reach us concerns General Grossetti, who recently died. Despite the fact that he was of such enormus girth—perhaps because of it—that he walked and rode with difficulty, he was one of the most popular officers in the French army. The story comes by way of the "Journal de Geneve" of January 13, 1918. We translate as follows:
In the throes of the battle of the Yser, says the "Gaulois," when the enemy fire was the fiercest, and it was judged impossible for the French troops longer to withstand it, they began to retire.
"What are you going to do?" asked Grossetti "I am too fat to follow you. In fact my feet are used up. It is absolutely necessary for me to sit down. Get me a chair."
They brought him a camp-stool and resting while the German shells continued to rain, he remarked: "What a pity to be so fat! You see I am good for nothing but to stay here."
Of a company creeping past in single file and hugging the shelter of the house he inquired: "Where are you going, my children? I hope that you are not retreating. You would not wish to abandon your general here."
Stupefied, the men looked at the General, seated placidly on his campstool, while about him the shells were bursting and gutting horses. Seized with sudden, violent emotion, they snatched their kepis from their heads, crying, "Vive le General!" and turned back.
A war saver is a life saver! Buy War-Savings Stamps!
Toward the end of the afternoon a British staff officer, sent by Sir John French, arrived on the scene to inquire what the French commander proposed to do, for the retirement of his division might involve the retreat of the English forces. Grossetti ordered another chair.
"Pray give me the pleasure, sir, of sitting down beside me," he said. Notstanding his British calmness and courage, the English officer hesitated a second or two. Finally he sat down. The French general said:
No wonder that the French, as a writer in the New York "Evening Sun" has pointed out, always afterward called Grossetti the General a faeuille But the "armchair general" was never used as a term of derogation; it was one of admiring affection.—The Outlook
“So you’ve quarrelled with your fanciere?” “Yes. I fear it’s all over.” “Don’t give up so easily. Call her on the telephone.” “It’s no use. She used to know who I was the moment I said ‘Hello.’ Now she positively refuses to recognize my voice.”—Birmingham Age-Herald.
After some further conversation,
continually interrupted by the bursting of shells close to them, the English officer took his leave. When he reached his headquarters, he remarked to his comrade: "I think I am brave; indeed, I am sure of it. But that five o'clock tea with General Grossetti gave me shivers up the back."
"You may say, sir, to Marshall French that my name is Grossetti, and, as it indicates, I am too fat to retire."

Inclination or simply desire?
WHEN YOU WERE a small child did you ever stand in front of the bakery window with your hands and face pressed up against the glass, and look longingly at some big fat cream puffs inside?
You had the desire to buy one, two—a dozen wouldn't have been too many—but, alas, you didn't have the price!
Every day we have the desire to buy a number of things and we have the money to purchase in this case—but there is no inclination coupled with our desire, and we go on without troubling ourselves to purchase.
INCLINATION! How do we "catch" it?
Sometimes it is the silver-tongued salesman, who, with convincing words, gives us the inclination to buy. Another time it may be the urgings of one of our family that produces the incentive to buy.
But oftener it is the constant appeal of advertising that touches off our inclination to buy. The power of suggestion!
Ten years ago men wearly shaved themselves with the old fashioned straight-edge razor, then came the safety razor and souped with it—ADVERTISING!
The power of advertising here played a potential part. It suggested to men the hardiness and convenience of the safety razor—it exposed the unhandiness of old Mr. Straight Edge—and in the end, what better illustrates the "pull" of advertising than the fact that 15,000,000 men this morning shaved with a safety razor.

Five University Men Have Died in Service Since Beginning of War
Service Flags For Enlisted Men and for Those Killed in Action Ready Soon
Five University men, Lieut. Col. W. W. Reno, Lieut. William Fitzsimmons, Lieut. B. O. Bower, Private Max Brown, and Private Paul B. Oakleaf have died in service since the entry of the United States into the present war.
It is as yet uncertain what method will be taken to honor these men on the University service flag. It is probable that a separate flag or bulletin will be made for those that die from the service. A star for each man is required, cannot be placed on a flag on account of the large number of men enlisted.
Lieutenant Fitzsimmons, c'10, was a member of a hospital unit and was killed last fall when German fliers bombed hospitals behind the battle line. Lieutenant Colonel Reno, c'93, disappeared off board ship last month while on his way from France. Max Brown and Paul B. Oakleaf died of natural causes while in camp at Fort Sill last winter.
The University service flag, the making of which is in charge of Prof. F. B. Dains, will be completed by commencement time. The present idea is that the service flag will be a large flag-shaped bulletin with the number of men in the service on it. The numbers will be formed on the service flag by stars, thus giving it a closer resemblance to the small service flag.
The bulletin which has been ordered by the Men's Student Council should be here in a short time. It will be placed upon the bulletin board at the entrance to the campus and the numbers changed as new enlistments are recorded.

Freshman and Varsity Nines Play Five Innings For Four-to-Four Tie
Number Turning Out For Vari- sity Practice Dwindles To Twenty-Five
The freshmen, with Coach Dutch Wedell pitching for them during the last two innings, succeeded in getting a 4-4 tie with the Varsity in the five inning practice game played on McCook field last night. There was more hitting on both sides than there is in any other practice game this season, but the fielding was erratic. The Varsity was again without the services of Wardle Weltmer and John Bunn. Weltmer was in uniform but confined his efforts to coaching from the sidelines. Bunn is suffering from an attack of the grip and has not been out for several days.
The Varsity lineup was again shifted somewhat and was as follows: Kitchen, catcher; Caler, pitcher; Willems, first base; Johnson, second base; Cherry, short stop; Lonborg, third base; Smith, left field; Uhlraum, center field; Pringle, right field; Marxen, team and Marxen worked in the box until the fourth inning, when Dutch Wedell relieved him.
Lonbord scored first for the Varsity in the second inning, when he lifted a high one to the bleachers in right center for two bases, advanced to third on a sacrifice and scored on a passed ball. Pringle walked and went around on an error and a hit. The frosh came back in the next inning and pushed three runs across the plate on a pair of hits and three errors. The Varsity made their total four in the third, however, when Johnson drove a single through the box, Uhrlaub walked and both scored on a hit by Caler and an error. The freshmen tied the count in the fourth on two hits and Wedell held the Varsity safe during the next two innings.
The Varsity squad has dwindled somewhat in the last few days and only about twenty-five men are reporting daily for practice now. They are as follows: Catchers--Bum, Cookes--Woody; Kitchens--Schooler, Caler, Dwainin and Slawson. Infelders--Machamer, Willems, Johnson, Uhrlaub, Conn's Cherry, Foster, Lonborg and Keeler. Outfielders—Weltmith, Smith, Oyster, Tarrant, Wilhelmy, Krumbach, Logan, Joslin, Murphey and Hardman.
Patterson, a former K. U. track star and assistant track coach here, is coaching the track team at McPherson college this year.
SPORT BEAMS
Coach Langren of the Michigan baseball team has scheduled six games for his team with the Columbus team of the American Association, to be played in Columbus during the spring vacation at Michigan, which begins April 8. The Michigan Varsity is also planning for a long southern trip later in the year.
Prospects for both track and tennis teams are rather poor at Washburn college this year. Although Washburn will have a grad coach in Bearg,
the material in school is green and only two men have signed up for track work thus far.
The big inter-class baseball schedule begins at Southwestern college April 8 and continues until May 14.
In the second game of the season, the University of Texas nine easily defeated Baylor college of Waco by a 12-1 score and thereby got revenge on Baylor for a football defeat administered last fall. Baylor hit safely only three times off Thomas, the Texas team that beat them in the wounding out nineteen hits for twenty-nine bases off two Baylor hurlers.
Friends University and the Oklahoma A. and H. college met in the first outdoor track meet of the year yesterday.
Ohio State opened its baseball season Saturday with a practice game with the Ohio State penitentiary nine. The college nine had little trouble in winning the game.
The Oklahoma A. and M. college nine opens the baseball season on Lewis field in Stillwater today and toorrow, with Phillips University as their opponents.

Only a short workout was the program for the track man Thursday under the direction of Coach W. O. Hamilton. Practice at making starts and a lap or two was the average amount of running given the men. Practice part of the practice time in having his picture taken for the Jayhawker.
More men are needed to work out for the hurdles. Hobart, one of the regulars of the indoor season, has not been出 since the outdoor season started, leaving only Welty to handle the stick events. He has been using most of his practice time in getting into trim for the pole vault. Howard is the other man working out with the pole vault. They have been doing

Thirty-Three Per Cent Of Freshmen Disregard Freshman Cap Ruling
Law Students Are Showing Most Enthusiasm in Enforcement of Rule
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 8, 1918.
Student Council Will Act
Fully thirty-three per cent of the freshmen are disregarding the freshmen cap ruling, a cap census this week shows. "If something is not done to enforce the ruling there will be few freshmen obeying the ruling in a short time," said one of the freshmen this morning. Half of the freshmen who have shown a disposition to obey the ruling have not appeared every day with their caps.
Freshman Believe Rule Should Be Enforced or Done Away
The students in the School of Law seemingly have shown more enthusiasm than any other school on the Hill in enforcing the cap rule. Wednesday they caught one of the offenders and forced him to wear a feminine attire on the campus and through the library.
"If you want to enforce the ruling send the offenders by the law steps and we will see that he is disciplined. The freshman who passes the School of Law without a cap will be dealt with in a manner that will remind him of his obligation the next time he appears on the campus," said one of the Laws.
The Men's Student Council has not made plans to enforce the ruling, but is working out one they will pass on at their next meeting. The Black Helmets and the Owls are two other organizations that intend to see that the ruling is regarded.
The freshmen have little to say on the matter. Some of them think the ruling should be done away with while others think it should be done away with or strictly enforced as it is unfair to some of the freshmen as it now stands. The fraternities have taken the matter up with their freshmen and required them to appear on the hill with their caps.
There are many advantages in having the first year men wear caps. They will find it much easier to get acquainted," said one of the women of the junior class.
Sousa's Band Played To Crowd of 4,500 At South Park Sunday
Two Companies of Home Guards Marched with Band In Parade
Sousa's navy band minus John Philip Sousa played to an audience of more than 4,500 people in South Park yesterday afternoon. It is eight blocks around South Park, but every inch of curbing was taken by automobiles carrying people to the concert. The huge outdoor audience which stood patiently to hear ten selections was larger than the crowd which greeted the same band in Topeka yesterday morning and again at 1 o'clock in the afternoon in the state house.
Sousa picked out a good drummer. The crowd noticed his fierce beating of his big drum for blocks away. All went well until the band reached the court house, here one side of the drum broke. The drummer played through the concert using the other side of the drum. The trombone player also made a hit in his trombone solo activities.
The train carrying the band of fifty pieces arrived on the Santa Fe at 3:50 o'clock. Two companies of the home guards marched like veterans and led the way for the band up Seventh and Massachusetts Streets to the park stand.
The March number of the "Metropolitan Magazine," has been barred from the mails by the Poastmaster of the City of New York. Two articles, one by William Hard in which he tries to show the uncertainty of the President's war policy, and another by Mr. Whigham, editor-in-chief of the magazine, attempts to place the blame for the war blunders on the President, either of which might have led to the exclusion of the magazine from the mails.
Botany Club Will Label Campus Trees and Shrubs
The Botany Club is preparing neat wooden labels to be placed on all the trees and in all the beds of shrubs on the campus.
The labels are painted white. Beatrice Palmer, c18 is printing the names on the labels in large black letters. The labels will be placed in about two weeks. These labels are for the benefit of strangers and also for students who are now wondering at the names of the tiny unknown blossoms.

Number of Surgical Dressings Increases
The class in surgical dressings has, at the end of the eight weeks in which it has been in progress turned out 7,000 compresses and wipes. From twenty to thirty women of the University meet five days a week, and under the direction of two instructors, make these dressings.
The eight by four compresses were first made, but the classes are now working on two by four and four by four wipes. These are more difficult to make and can not be turned out as rapidly as the first ones.
During the first week 200 dressing were made, but this number has rapidly increased. The largest number turned out in any one week was 1,632 which represents the work of sixth week. Last week the class made 1005 dressings.
The compresses and wipes are tied onto bundles of twenty-five and after being carefully inspected by the two instructors are sent to the Red Cross headquarters where they are again inspected before being shipped to St. Louis.

Much Hoarding Discovered
Support of Administration'
Program Comes With
Understanding
Prof William M. Duffus of the department of economics had a timely article in the American Economic Review for March on "Government Control of the Wheat Trade in the United States," in which he outlined the provisions of the United Food and Fuel Control act of 1917.
In the beginning Mr. Duffus said, "The act appears, on the surface at least, to run counter to some of the most firmly entrenched doctrines in economic theory. However, for better or for worse,' it is now the law of the land; and as such it merits an impartial and detailed analysis, regardless of academic prepossessions for or against it."
Mr. Duffus gave as some of the economic and political conditions affecting the wheat trade which prevailed at the time of the passage of the act the following: The United States had a short wheat crop in 1913 and evidently would have in 1917; Europe demanded more wheat than ever before; prices were commanding higher than normal, as spreading agri-exports of the "midtime" farmers doubted the wisdom of increasing their wheat yield, because of the scarcity and cost of labor, implements, and supplies, and because of their fear of a sharp drop in the wheat prices.
Regarding this, Mr. Duffus said, "The campaign for an increased production of wheat in the United States as a war measure started too late to have much influence on the size of the 1917 crop. Growers of wheat, however, were even then looking forward to the 1918 harvest (wheat is often grown in a crop rotation planned several years in advance when land is not kept continuously under wheat, and were actively discussing the advisability of increased production. The farmer looked with suspicion upon any efforts to stimulate him to greater production as a scheme to increase the yields and reduce the prices."
Speaking of the provision in the bill restricting the hoarding of food stuffs Mr. Duffus said, "The hysteria which swept the country when the prices got above $3 is rapidly subsiding, and there is decidedly less adverse criticism heard. Several large firms with wide connections throughout the West and Northwest have made careful investigation of the amount of hoarding of food stuffs on the part of the general public. The results are startling. In some instances families have been found that had sufficient flour on hand to last them for over a year. Mills reported that their sales in April in some cases were 500 per cent above normal."
At the next meeting of the Men's Student Council, a week from the coming Wednesday, the election officers for the different polls will be appointed and further details of the election decided upon.
Men's Student Council Sets Election April 30

The Bible and missions committee has led in organizing the sorority Bible study groups this year. Every sorority has organized such a class.
The membership of the Association has been increased to 580, this year, as compared to 452 last year.
Laws Send Freshmen To Pick Dandelions
They all dutifully wore caps, but the caps marked them for responsibility that the ingenious Laws created for all freshmen within reach between morning classes. They had to pick dandelions. Fifty blossoms apiece they surrendered after the harvest to the deputed floral collector at the port of law. Just like bees, or grasshoppers, or doodlebugs, or whatever might go搡ing from dandelion blossoms in April, little troops of freshmen scampered over the top of the hill wherever the diminutive yellow specks grew thickest. And John Shea didn't mind, didn't mind at all, because he has not mastered yet.
The Laws said they intended to make dandelion rheumatism remedy out of their total collection which to weighs about six pounds and a half.
The freshmen said they were glad to help the decrepit old Laws.
Dvaehnau Dean, Chester McCormick, Edwin Wilkerson and Arch Walters of Topeka and Tom Malloy of Kansas City attended the house dance at the Kappa Sigma house Saturday.
Liberty Loan Workers Open Women's Office
The Women's National Liberty Loan Committee opened headquarters downtown Saturday at 5 Long Street with Mrs. J. P. Bechtel in charge. The headquarters will be open every afternoon at 2 o'clock. Members of the committee have been making Liberty Loan speeches and Friday night Mrs. T. H. Chalkley and Prof. A. Cerrill, gave a short talk at a pie social at No. 6 schoolhouse. Sunday night Mrs. H. L. Butler, one of the 4-minute speakers, addressed a large audience in the Methodist Church.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Remarks overheard at the Sousa's Band Concert:
"That leader looks just like Me-Canies."
"Our home town band can play that too."
"I have counted one hundred Fords and baby carriages."
ounted one Fords and baby carriages."
"That slide trombone player would make a good assistant for Gabriel."
"I wish he would look this way."
"Sundaes are always so refreshing after a band concert."
Many amusing stories have been told on Prof. William H. Carruth, formerly of the University. The last one comes from a geology professor. "Mr. Carruth," so says the professor, "was very fond of telling of the time when President Lincoln visited his father's house. He always said that he remembered the incident very well. One day, when Mr. Carruth had the story to a child and had him, his father will help him aside and ask if he recalled the date of his own birth. It was later figured up that the visit of Lincoln occurred eighteen months before Mr. Carruth was born.

Professor Dykstra, in his class in American Government as he handed back some quiz papers, "I have some back number of periodicals here which I thought you might care to send to the soldiers. Just put a 2-cent stamp in the upper left hand corner and drop in the box."
Cub-reporter calling up the University Hospital:
"Hello, is Dr. Son-in-law there?

Coach Bon., in a baseball discussion in the dressing room on Hamilton field: "I tell you there used to be a fellow down here at Manhattan who would throw seven straight curves and if that wasn't enough, he would throw seven more."
Several players in the room immediately took exception to the Jayhawker coach's statement that the Aggie pitcher threw seven straight curves, but Coach Bond said he saw him do it.
Nevertheless, Dutch Lenberg and Johnny Bunn and a few other are still unconvinced.
More Plays to Be Given Soon at Little Theater
The three-act comedy, "Eliza Comes To Stay" which was given for the benefit of the County Club Union was repeated Saturday night in Green Hall Little Theater under the auspices of the Dramatic Club. The same cast presented the play, but a complete set of natural wood stage setting was made.
Send the Daily Kansan Home.
This was the first three-act play that has ever been given in the Little Theater. The dramatic Club has been endeavoring to obtain the best one-act plays available and has been presenting them in the "Popular Plays" series. Two plays, "America Passes By," tragi-comedy, and "The Stepmother" a burlesque on women novelties, were given Thursday night. Two more, "The Twelve Pound Look" and "The Conspirators" will be given this week.
Stand for Men Who Are For Things You Hold Says Star's Big Chief
Editor Trigg Tells K. U. Students That Everlasting Assignments Do Most
It's "Things" That Count—
Newspapers Want Men Who Can Write, Not Merely Good Reporters
The real permanent structure of the Kansas City Star Col. Nelson built, the vital force that makes it live on after him is centered in the consistency of the paper to stand by the everlasting "things" laid down and still being laid down as public good demands them. This is the substance of the fundamental principle given the Problems and Policies class in journalism this morning by Fred L. Trigg, editor and grand old man of the Kansas City Star's veteran staff.
Mr. Trigg took up campaigns for the good of Kansas and of Kansas City that are set assignments for perpetual development by the Star. For Kansas he said that the Alumni of old K. U. were going to be stirred and stirred until they did for the institution what it deserved at Topeka, and that Kansas was going to be informed and stirred until it took the right kind of pride in the state's own best possession. For Kansas City he gave the many things which the Star has stood for, some of them scratched off the slate now as accomplished, many still in the hammering stage. "It's the things that count," said Mr. Trigg," the things and the men who stand for them, but mostly the things, for even if men you are supporting are licked on election day, the thing carries in every other day of the 365. Campaigns are beaten for a day—on the first attempt to get folks to vote for real salaries to real teachers, for bonded built real schools and school systems, for commission-governed municipalities, —but that is victory. The people were convinced of the right in the matter and were only afraid to vote in a new thing. Next election they come through with a tenth the persuasion, space, and cost.
"The value of a newspaper," said Mr. Trigg to the class in *Newspaper II*. "Is to serve the community. It's very easy to let the paper become a scandal sheet. Scandal is the only kind of news that hunts the reporter up. But the stories that the newspaper should print and the kind that helps the community are those that have to be "nosed" out like a hunting dog trails game. And to carry the simile further the good reporter has to know how to tell a lion from a skunk."
"You just forget the pay envelope if you want a success at the end and stand for those 'things'," said Mr. Trigg, "and accomplish something for the paper and the people for whom it stands and fights—get something done with your work, with your life."
"If I were the owner of a newspaper," he said. "My first step as a pioneer would be to kick out the society page. There are too many ways for a paper to serve the community than to merely give a re-hash of other people's pleasures.
Mr. Trigg has spoken to the classes in journalism several times in the past. He spoke to classes in Newspaper and in Editorial Problems and Policies this morning and to the class in Interpretation of the News this afternoon.
Senior Cast to Give "Fifty-Fifty," April 24
Work on rehearsals of "Fifty-Fifty," the senior play to be presented in the Bowersock Theater, April 24, is being pushed rapidly under the direction of Prof. Arthur MacMurray.
The play is a 3-act comedy of K. U. life written by Harold Lytle, a graduate student in the college. It won the prize of $50 offered by the K. U. Dramatic Club for the best play written by a student. This is the third year such a prize has been awarded. Alton Gumbiner was the winner in 1916 and 1917 with "Copping the Grapes" and "If I Were Dean."

"YOU MILLIONS SAFE AT HOME"
"YOU MILLIONS SAFE AT HOME"
From a man in uniform to those of us who are not.
They say, those who have come back from Over There, that at night the troubled earth between the lines is carpeted with pain. They say that Death rides whistling in every wind and that the, very mists are charged with torment. They say that of all things spent and squandered there young human life is held least dear.
It is not the pleasantest prospect for those of us who yet can feel upon our lips the pressure of our mother's good-bye kiss. But, please God, our love of life is not so prized as love of right. In this renaissance of our country's value we who will edge the wedge of her assault make calm acceptance of its hazards. For us, the steel swept trench, the stiffening cold—weariness, hardship, worse. For you, for whom we go, you millions safe at home—what for you?
We shall need clothes for our bodies and weapons for our hands. We shall need terribly and without failure supplies and equipment in a stream that is constant and never-ending. From you, who are our resource and reliance, who are the heart and hope of that humanity for which we strive and smite, must come these things.

OUR ANTI-SUFFRAGETTES
Last Friday afternoon the executive council of the Women's Student Government Association elected presiding officers for next year. Interest was so intense among the thousand women members of the organization that 75 votes were cast. There was no opposition ticket. If there had been it is estimated according to past records that if the contest between the opposing tickets had been a hot one, that anywhere from 100 to 150 votes would have been polled.
That the women of this University govern themselves speaks for their own mental poise and ability, and for the progressiveness of the University. That less than one-tenth of them show interest enough in their own government to vote for officers who will have the opportunity to either make or break the whole system next year, is at once ironic and pathetic. In numerous instances women, mature and supposedly possessed of average humanness and intelligence, when asked on the campus near the polls to vote, were either childish or discourteous
in their refusal, sometimes both.
their refusal, sometimes both.
"I don't believe I want to," and "I am not interested," are manifestations of a state of mind among these women which needs investigating. Since the W. S. G. A. formulates the conventional rules which must govern the conduct of these women they cannot but be concerned. Being residents of a state granting full suffrage to women they should be acustomed to the use of the ballot.
When the voters in a student election are not the whole student body, but are restricted to a few public spirited students and the friends of the candidates there is a deplorable, lack somewhere. It is time for University women to show a more universal interest in the paddling of their own canoe.
It is not the laying on of hands but the laying up of hands that our constitution is trying to readjust itself to.
THE CLOCK TICKS NOW
War has made another change at the University. The gift of the seniors used to arrive after the last senior had departed and used to be put away against the day of returning alumni. This year the seniors are not so negligent. Their gift is secured. It has arrived and has been placed in a position of usefulness within the sacred precincts of the University.
The clock that 1918 gave is gently ticking in the library. The seniors are looking to it as it measures their last hours and minutes with Alna Mater. For some of the men it means even more. A few may not come back to see that clock again.
This is a good precedent to establish. Let every senior class of years to come prepare and present its gift in due season that all may see it in its application to the needs of the University at large. Then, indeed, may every senior be given full realization of what he, both as an individual and as a member of a class designation, has been privileged to do for old K. U. not so much in material giving as in the larger symbolism of the gift.

The faculty regulation compelling all students to take some form of physical exercise is unjust in many respects because of the hardships it imposes on many hard working students. It is conceded that no student in the University should carry so many courses that he will be unable to give an hour a day to the requirements for physical training, but for those persons who are forced to do outside labor as a means of staying in school, this one hour is apt to mean much sacrifice in study periods, and a great deal of useless worry about lack of time.
Last week an elderly student came into the office of the head of the department of Physical Education to book an exemption which he felt almost certain would not be granted. He is a married man and has a family to support while going to school. He carries fifteen hours of regular work on the Hill and does enough remuneration to provide a living for his wife and children. There are not many cases just like this one there are many more that merit fully as much allowance. He was not excused from physical exercise.
Some of the men students who are doing three or four hours of junior work in the University buildings are compelled by a threat of withdrawal from classes to go to the Gymnasium and do an hour's extra physical exercise, an imposed duty for which there is very little time and less need.
Physical Education is a thing that is of much importance and should be especially emphasized in the preparation of young manhood for the severe test of war, but when the rule enforcing such training is so rigidly unyielding as to cause the person who comes to the University with the intention of learning, to slacken his studying, and to even consider withdrawal from school, there is more harm than good done.

POET'S CORNER
Friends
(Lleutenant-Colonel John McCrae)
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead, short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe.
To you from failing hands we throw
The Torch—be your to hold it high!
If ye break faith with those who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies
In Flanders fields.

Sweaters To Be Sent To K. U. Enlisted Men
Women of Red Cross Classes Use Yarn Purchased For Home Soldiers
Just think! To knit a sweater for K. U. men you know and to have your name pinned on it so that they will know who was thoughtful enough to knit for them. That is what the Athletic Association and the department of physical education made possible when they appropriated $190.00 for a 100 lb. bale of khaki colored yarn early last January.
After the yarn had been ordered and sent to Coach W. O. Hamilton, he obtained the names of women enrolled in the W. S. G. A. Red Cross classes. The yarn was checked out to them free of charge.
Adrian Lindsay who is at Camp Funston; John Mandeville, who is at Urbana; Tim Shreve and Donald Gardner who have just been called for aviation have been given one of these sweaters. There are fifty-six more all folded and marked at Coach Hamilton's office in Robinson Gymnasium, ready for any K. U. man who is serving his country.
Although all of these articles should have been turned in by February 15, there are still twenty-four checked out. These will be finished soon, for the members of the W. S. G. A. have been reminding the knitters to hurry. These will be given to the boys in the aviation service this summer for they say that it is as cold a few miles up in the blue as any December 25th on terra firma.
If there are any left over after the aviators are supplied they will be sent to the boys of Company M for use next winter.

When Your Watch Stops or Loses Time Bring It to Our "Watch Hospital"
Crusty Makes Denial Says He Didn't Do It
Before all the world and the University Club in particular Crusty, the famous Crusty of the Club, has made a general denial of all depredations on the club phone for purposes of romantic communication. The story was suppressed in the papers before the Easter vacation in order to give Crusty a chance to tell his side of it. He has told. He says the Crab and the Prophet and anyone else about the club who may at this time for henceforth forevermore make any allegation whatsoever against him are disregarding what he knows is true and righteous altogether.
The latest charge to which Crusty has been held answerable is grabbing the telephone and holding onto it for one long hour, from 10 to 11 o'clock one night last week. Crusty who is known at the club for being all that his name does not imply, was talking desperately to nurse along his first and last chance at real, 14 kt. love. Four furious fussers stood in line for the phone when the great hour for Crusty began.
The Crab was first in line. He gave up early and went to bed. He has been going to bed early for several days past. But he was nervous about something and because he couldn't reach the phone he did not sleep at all well. A second in line is the usually cheerful man who fathers the whole club and has the only Ford owned by and in range of the entire club membership. He patiently withdrew in favor of Crusty after half an hour of sweet endurance. Number Three was Prophet who was anxious to get facts or something a day's weather or something like that. He hoped for a cyclone when he turned in at 10:15. The last and longest to stick on Crusty's trail was the Inverteate Dater. He didn't get his date, for all the she's of his acquaintance had told him never to dare to call up after eleven at night.
Now comes Crusty. And he says "Dawgnou it ain't so. They are all trying to slander me. And if one worrud is printed I'll skin 'em all alive, especially the Prophet." Latest reports say that Crusty has been forgiven provided that next time he lets all the rest listen in as a proper board of censorship.
North A. Wright, e20, spent Saturday and Sunday in Lawrence, returning to his home in Alchison last night. He is expecting to be called very soon to report to a ground school for aviation service, as he has received notice to be ready to leave on twenty-four hour notice.

Thursday, "is that labor like most American organizations reads the financial census. Everywhere labor is demanding. The laboring class reasons that if it is so easy for men to become millionaires out of war profits and are still considered patriotic then surely it is not unpatriotic for them to demand an increase in wages and refuse to work if the increase is not granted because the cost of living is continually raising.
"In all the Allied Countries there has been great labor unrest. In England the Labor party has made a definite platform and has presented it to the people. The party will contest the election for Parliament in the coming election. In Russia, the Labor party has been crushed out for the present by the German Peace. Just whether the Labor party in England will be successful will be determined in the Parliamentary election.
"There have been more strikes in the United States than elsewhere, perhaps, because the Government has not met the situation quickly as in other places.
"America is not quite up with the procession in labor demands," said Professor Dykstra. "The reason for this is because in America Labor is not a distinct class as it is in foreign countries. There, if once one is in the laboring class, he is always in that class, but here it is different; many of our American millionaires were once the lowest of laborers.
"The United States is going to have to meet the demands of labor sooner or later. The Republicans say that their next party issue will be in regard to labor. At present the only person that has had the audacity to say what he thinks and that has criticized the Administration in time of War is Theodore Roosevelt. But America will have to make some arrangements to meet the new situation of labor after the War."
Sam Secures Scraps So Serves Salvage
Although the Junior Red Cross has taken over the salvage problem for the southwestern division, the men and women of the University are considered young enough to gather it for K. U. But apparently they aren't as loyal as the 5-year-old son of a Universitist instructor who went from house to house with a list of articles wanted and gathered the junk the neighbors gladly put out for him finally bringing it to the Fraser hope chest for salvage. The story runs that at first Sammy, for that was his name, picked out only the "pretties" that appealed to his fancy, leaving the rest. Later, however, he became the model of efficiency.
The list which his mother made out was something like the following authentic one,—Tinfoil of all kinds; Collapsible tubes which have contained tooth paste, cold cream, shaving

Alfred G. Hill Writes Of Work at Camp Taylor
Camp Taylor seems like a big school. I frequently compare my work here with my studies at the University. You will understand when I tell you that practically all my time is taken up with going to "schools." In the morning it is rifle and pistol school conducted under the supervision of the regimental school officer. In the afternoon I walk a long mile to attend an engineering school conducted through the division headquarters. In the evenings twice a week there is the presence of battalion officers where problems are discussed. A then weekly percussion is taken listening to "medicos" from the hospital who are going into great relief regarding the care of the feet. Each evening at 5:30 o'clock I am expected to attend a conference of officers and non-commissioned officers at which the daily drills are discussed.
The "medio" lectures are much like the compulsory hygienic lectures for freshmen on Mount Oread. That are enjoyed to about the same degree.
I have met three K. U., men.

Coach Bond Driving Men Hard To Prepare For Conference Games
Two Weeks Left Before Opening Game With Ames on McCook Field
With only two weeks remaining before the opening series of the Missouri Valley Conference baseball season on McCook Field with the Ames Aggies, Coach Jay Bond is driving his men hard this afternoon and the Jayhawkers will cut loose within the next ten days so as to be trained in their best forays among the Ames invasion. The candidates have taken over during the last two weeks of outdoor practice and have confined their real work to three short practice games with Coach Dutch Wedell's freshmen.
The Jayhawker pitching staff will probably get its real test this week. Thus far Coach Bond has prohibited the pitchers from throwing curve balls and the men have been working to get control of the ball. But from now on, the pitching candidates will start putting something on the contests against the yearling hitters. Coach Fullill has a bunch of good players among the thirty-th rowers who are out for the freshman team, and these men should furnish the Varsity hurriers plenty of practice before the Ames series.
Both the infield and the outfield of the Varsity are uncertain quantities as yet, and no player, with the possible exception of Wardie Weltmert, veteran outfielder, has a place cined. Bert Smith, hard hitting outfielder from last year's freshman outfit, has been showing up well in the outfield and looks good for a place in the center garden. Bill Caler, southpaw Bird in the outfield when he has not occupied the mound, and as Cairn is an excellent fielder and good hitter, he will probably used both in the outfield and in the box. Oyster, Krumback, Tarant, and Wilhelmmy have been playing good ball in the outfield and each man has a chance for a regular berth on the team.
Coach Bond has used several combinations in an effort to find a smoothly working infield and Lonborg at third is the only player who has been used at one position with any degree of regularity. hCerry has been putting up a good game at the short stop position, but Stem Foster, who played that position in the last games of the season last year against Missouri, is out for an infield position and will probably be given a trial at short this week. Johnson has played steady ball at second, and Uhlraub has also been used at second and at first. Willems and Machamer are the other candidates for the first base position. Keeler has played both short and third in the practice games.
SPORT BEAMS
Frank Loomis and Joie Ray broke three central A. A. U. records in the Great Lakes Track Meet at Chicago last Saturday. Loomis shattered the records in the high and low hurdles and Ray broke the record in the mile run. The surprise of the meet was he running of Campbell, an 18-year-old high school athlete who beat Ray in the half mile in the fast time of 1 minute 57 2-5 seconds.
The Annual Missouri State high school track meet will be in Columbit May 4.
Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, and Williams, composing the Intercollegiate athletic association, will resume tennis as a major sport this spring.
The annual Missouri Valley track meet will be May 25 at Columbia in front of at Ames, as had been previously planned. The Iowa Aggie students will be released for farm work after April 19 although they will be eligible to compete in the meet, even though they are not in school.
The University of Pennsylvania nine defeated Swarthmore College Saturday, 1-0, in an exciting 14-inning game. Boston College defeated the Army team on the same day, 6-2.

Personnel Selected For Glee Club's Trip
Nine Concerts to be Given at Camp Funston—To Sing Here in May
The Men's Gleen Club has completed final plans for the Funston trip, April 12, 13, and 14. Twenty-two members, the accompanist, and director will go. Professor Joseph Farrell chose the men last week as they were attending the club, and attendance at retreaters determining who should go.
Several new numbers have been worked up since the last concert, and these will be sung with the older numbers in the 45-minute concerts to be given at the camp. Two concerts will be given Friday, three Saturday and four Sunday. The concerts on Sunday will be semi-sacred and will probably be similar to the concert given at Haskell School.
The club will probably sing for Kansas City, at Kansas High School, April 19 or 26, for a concert number. The home concert to be given in about a month will close a successful season. The men who will take the trip are M. L. Peek, Louis Morgan, Marvin Harms and R. W. Emerson, first tenors; J. H. Smith, Howard Painter, Deane Malel, Harold Black, and Don C. Good, second tenors; John R.

Farrell, director.
Catalogues for 1918-19
May be Out This Month
Proofs from the office of the state printer for the annual general catalogue of the University are coming in rapidly for correction, and the catalogues may be ready for distribution some time this month, according to George O. Foster, registrar. The time in which they will be ready depends on the amount of other work the state printer has in hand, as all the material from the University has been sent in.
The general catalogue will be printed in one volume this year as last. Miss Rose Morgan of the department of English is editor of this year's catalogue and Prof. D. L. Patterson is chairman of the catalogue committee.
Gives Concert At Haskell
The K. U. Men's Glee Club gave a sacred concert at the Haskell Chapel, Sunday. Prof. Joseph Farrell directed the club. Eight number were given among them a duet by Harold Hall and Raymond Darby, a solo by Herman Friesen, a violin number by Professor Farrell.
The Ames-Missouri dual trac meet will be at Columbia Saturday. Both schools have good track teamss but Missouri should win the meet by a close margin.

Enlistments Weaken Kansas Track Team Three Good Men Taken
Welty to Aviation, Shreve to Naval Training and Coffey Goes to Funston
Hope for a winning track team this season received a blow Saturday when two of the regular track men were called into active military service. Donald Welty, star hurdler and vaulter, was called to Berkeley, Cal., where he will receive training and John D. Warner, meteriler, and relay man, was called to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station.
This leaves the K. U. track team without a hurdler, as Harold Hobart, the other man out for the stick events, has not appeared for outdoor practice. Welted placed second in the high hurdles at the Missouri-Kansas indoor meet this wiier, and is also a good vaulter. This leaves Roscoe Howard to handle the pole vault. Welty was also a broad jumper.
The loss of Shreve makes a gap in the relay team and leaves Lobaugh and Alphal Rodkey to handle the quarter mile.
The departure of Shreve and Welty makes three track men who have left school to go into service within the last two weeks. Rival Caffey, a half miler, who was running next to Murphy in the half mile was called to Camp Funston about two hours. This leaves 10 miles in this event. He goes 10 O. Hamilton hopes to fill the places left vacant from the large sound that is trying out.
The spring interclass meet, April 12, will give a line on the prospects for the coming outdoor season.
The Missouri Valley meet will be held at Columbin, May 25.

In order to interest high school students in the engineering courses, Engineers' Day will be set for the same day as the invitation track meet, and the engineers will keep open house throughout the day, if plans suggested at a mass meeting this morning are adopted. In the meantime the engineers have appointed an committee to flag to honor the 400 to 500 students and graduates who have entered the national service.
Surplus $100,000
The meeting was held at 10 o'clock this morning, and was addressed by Prof. G. C. Shaad, dean of the School of Engineering. "It seems appropriate at this time," said Professor Shaad, "to think of buying a service flag for the School of Engineering."
A committee to determine the cost of a flag was named as follows: Architects, R. Brown; Electricals, H. J. Gish; Civil Engineers, George DeVoe; Chemicals, Fay Walters; Miners, Page Wagner. This committee is to report by the last of next week.
Announcement was made of an early entertainment by the Triangle of Engineering societies. Professor Shaad also made a plea that the engineers aid in the Liberty Bond drive.

Nurses' Training Camp For College Alumnae To Be Held at Vassar
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 9, 1918.
American Red Cross Will Trait Womoeon for Home and Foreign Service
Extends Plattsburg Idea
Details of a women's training camp for collegiate alumnae to be held at Vassar from June 24 to September 13, have been received by the Alumni Office. The camp is maintained by the American Red Cross, and represents the first scientific attempt to fit educated women as quickly as possible to enter the nursing profession.
Session from June 24 to September 13—$95 Covers Expense
The purpose of the camp is similar to that of the Plattsburg training camp when it was first opened. The Vassar camp will train women to hold high positions in nursing just as the purpose of Plattsburg was to train men for officers' positions. Enrollment in the camp is limited to 1,000 women. The regular fees amount to $95 which will cover all expenses at the camp.
Four scholarships have been offered at the camp by the Vassar class of 1913 in memory of their classmate, Annabel Roberts who was killed in France. These scholarships amount to $250 and include expenses.
The great demand for trained nurses in civilian life as well as in military service was one reason for opening the camp. The withdrawal of so many trained medical men and nurses from civil life and the new working conditions caused by the war are for nurses great. Besides, it is estimated 1,020 trained nurses will be needed for every million soldiers.
Engineering Branches Attractive to Women
Miss Edith Snow, a former student of the University will go to Kansas City to attend a meeting of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae tomorrow where the camp plans will be explained. Herbert Mills, professor of economics at Vassar, will be dean of the camp.
Technical Training Leads to Positions in Large Manufacturing Plants
Architectural engineering seems to be the most attractive branch for women, but there is also a demand for women with mechanical and electrical training in the drafting rooms and other departments of our large manufacturing plants. One large electrical company has introduced a policy of employing women who have graduated from college in certain phases of engineering. Chemistry and chemical engineering offer many openings, which can be ably filled by women.
There is a continually increasing demand for women who have technical training, and many women are doing practically the same work that was formerly done by men as architectural and civil engineers said Dean Shaad of the School of Engineering. Of course they do not oversee construction and inspect work as closely as men, but in other respects their work is about the same.
Dramatic Club to Give Two Plays Wednesday
Two more popular priced plays will be given in the Little Theater in Green Hall Wednesday night. Barrie's "The Twelve-Pound Look" will be presented by Florence Butler, Craig Kennedy and Eva Robinson.

Dr. L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy Is Trying Experiments
Coffee Grounds Contain Properties Making Them Substitute For Flour
Faculty Bachelors Like 'um
Work So Far Is Only Tentative And Success Cannot Be Announced
Coffee grounds contain valuable food properties and may afford an excellent substitute to decrease the quantities of flour used in bread, cakes and cookies, according to experiments being tried by Dr. L. E. Sayre, dean of the School of Pharmacy of the University of Kansas.
COOKIES OF 25 PER CENT COFFEE Doctor Sayre has made cookies using 25 per cent dried coffee grounds in place of a similar weight of flour and has found them excellent. They were eaten by his own family and subsequently various forms of coffee grounds and flour cookies were made and tried on bachelors of the University faculty. Doctor Sayre made and sent to the club where faculty bachelors board coffee-grounds cookies flavored with chocolate, ginger, cinnamon and other flavorings. All were palatable and no bad effects were observed In fact, there was an insistent demand that the experiment be continued indefinitely.
RICH IN PROTEIN AND FAT
Analyses of coffee grounds of an average grade of 30-cent coffee made by Doctor Sayre showed them to contain about 11 per cent protein, the same percentage of protein contained in an average good grade of flour. The grounds analyzed approximately 19 per cent crude oil, the percentage varying in different analyses.
Of these, these experiments with coffee grounds as a flour substitute are only tentative so far," said Doctor Sayre, "and have not been carried far enough to be announced as successful.
The grounds were carefully dried in a slow oven, immediately after being taken from the coffee pot. This precaution was taken to prevent a possibility of molds developing in the wet grounds."

Theta Sigma Phi Will Hold Convention Here
Honorary Journalism Sorority In National Conclave Here April 25-27
The Collegiate Alumnae Association will entertain the Senior women some time during the month of April.
The national convention of Theta Sigma Phi will be held in Lawrence April 25, 26 and 27. Theta Sigma Phi is a national journalistic fraternity of women.
Theta Sigma Phi was installed at the University of Kansas in the spring of 1914. The charter members were Ruth Harcher, Lucie Barger, Walter Cunningham, Ottie McNeal, Mabel Dunlevy, Caroline Greer and Helen Rho Hoopees.
Every member of the Women's Glee Club who wants to go to Funston must be in Fraser Hall for the regular meeting at 7 o'clock tonight. Bring money for pictures.
Theta Sigma Phi has fourteen chapters at that many colleges and universities. All of these chapters will probably be represented at the convention. The chapters nearest to Kansas are at Oklahoma, and those near Oklahoma. The first chapter of Theta Sigma Phi was organized at the University of Washington at Seattle.
Since that time it has initiated among other honorary members: Dana Gatlin, Margaret Hill McCarter, Miss Effe Graham, Miss Kate Stephens, Miss Agnes Thompson, Miss Margaret Lynn, Mrs. Louisa Cooke Don Carlos, L. L. Flint and Miss Hannah Mitchell.
The Commerce Club will meet at the Pi U house tonight at 7:30 o'clock. Prof. S. C. Catell will talk. Election of officers will take place.
All Methodist student women who expect or wish to become members of Kappa Phi Club are requested to meet the membership committee in the Methodist office in Myers Hall at 5:00 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Plans Are Accepted For Botanical Garden On South of Campus
Gardens Will Contain Miniature Lake, a Fountain and Greenhouses
Work to be Started Soon
Herbert S. Hare of Kansas City Women for Home and Is Designer
Plans for beautifying the campus which Herbert S. Hare, lecturer on landscape art from Kansas City has made have been formally accepted by the Grounds Committee of the University. The plans which Mr. Hare has drawn up concern only the south slope of the University grounds and work is to be started this spring on the laying out of a botanical garden and the erection of greenhouses.
"Of course we cannot expect to see a marvelous transformation at once because it is absolutely essential to have appropriations set aside for this improvement," said Prof. W. C. Stevens of the Grounds Committee. "It takes years for trees and shrubs to grow."
PLANTS FOR BOTANICAL RESEARCH At the foot of the terrace just south of the Journalism Building a series of green houses are to be erected. Just east of the green houses a formal botanical garden will be laid out which will be planted with plants and specimens to be used in research work in the department of botany. The garden will be planted in terraces and in the center will be a fountain.
The rest of the slope, as far east as the walk which leads up from the south to Blake Hall, will be planted informally and at the extreme foot of the slope will be a pond or a miniature lake, surrounded by clumps of trees and dense shrubbery. A winding road will enter the campus at the south-east corner and open onto green houses, Vines and clumps of trees are to be planted to break the hard outlines of the buildings on that side of the hill. Mr. Hare is now in Kansas City working up the blue prints.
The Committee on Grounds is composed of Chancellor Frank Strong, Professors W. C. Stevens, Goldwin Goldsmith, W. A. Griffith, W. C. McNown and John M. Shea, superintendent of grounds and Mr. Wheeler the University marshal.
All Cases Must Be Heard By Standing Committee of University Senate
Instructors Reminded Of Discipline Rules
Any matter regarding student discipline is to be reported to the Disciplinary Committee by the school or department to whose notice the matter has been brought and that committee is to have complete jurisdiction as to the penalty attached, according to a notice sent out to all professors and instructors this morning by the Disciplinary Committee. This ruling has been in effect some time and the notice was issued this morning to bring the matter to the attention of all new instructors and of those who do not understand it.
The ruling was made to secure uniformity in procedure with all cases requiring discipline. The purpose was to centralize the matters of discipline so that all cases would be brought before the same group of men and more equitable decisions could be given. Under the old system when each instructor punished the offending student as he saw fit, some were very severe in their punishments and others were lenient. This resulted in unjust decisions and it was decided by the University Senate that the power of discipline be vested in a permanent Disciplinary Committee and that all matters requiring such discipline be taken out of the hands of the individual instructors and be given over to this committee.

Demand for Entomologists Exceeds Present Supply
Demand by the Federal Government for trained entomologists is far greater than it is possible to meet, says Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the department of entomology. Professor Hunter believes that this sudden demand is largely owing to the fact that food conservation is the question of the hour. He now has on hand requests for entomologists at salaries ranging from $1200 to $2500, which he is unable to fill at present.
In a recent article published in one of the Entomology magazines the University of Kansas is ranked third according to the number of trained entomologists it has already placed. These position have been both in state universities and federal government service.
Plain Tales From The Hill
And They Thought He Was Jess Willard
Ira C. Snyder, '12, came all the way from Denver to attend the banquet given last week in honor of Uncle Jimmy Green. Ira was a big fellow when he was a student here, but since he has been out West he has added a large amount of flesh and now is a very large man. When he came into the dining room of the Eldridge House that night, the negro waiters thought he was Jess Willard and they looked him over and stepped lively. Some of the Laws who did not know Ira also thought he was the champion pugilist who now lives west of town.
A student in an Oral Interpretation class got his directions mixed the other day when he read the poem "Opportunity" by Walter Malone. The last two lines were read in this manner.
Each night a star to guide thy feet to Hell."
"Each morning gives thee wings to flee from Heaven,
A small Freshman was walking dejectedly along the walk west of Fraser yesterday. He had flunked a quiz and he looked as though he had lost the last friend he had in the world. His books were under his one arm, both hands were in his pockets, and his head hung. Suddenly the tall form of the Chancellor came up beside him. "Good morning to you," said the Chancellor in his usual cheery way. The startled Freshman looked up quickly, and became so "fussed" that he stammered, "I guess so."
Patriotism and anti-tobacco legislation seem to have their effects upon the minds of K. U. students as was proven by a recent test in Psychology I. When all the students in the class were asked to make a list of five street car cards they remembered, the largest number which were alike were twenty-seven governments were next highest, while a delectable brand of "eating" tobacco was at the bottom of the list.
BIG THINGS THAT COUNT
The feeling when you flunk a quiz under A. J. Bovton.
The girl that insists on riding home from a dance on a moonlight night. The man that thinks that he is gettin' pretty but still holds only dates on Sunday night. He fools only himself as the girls get wise in a short time.
A professor that assigns a quiz for
the day after a vacation.
A feeling that you will be called away to war in the next few days. A girl that breaks a date at the last minute but thanks though that she did not wait until you reached home.
K. U. New York Alumni Planning Thirty-First Dinner For April 19
The University marshal was almost called to quell a near riot in a class in English lettering in the School of Engineering the other day. A pencil had rolled onto the floor and its rapid fall had the effect of a German bomb. Young men fought with each other to rescue the little terror, tables were overturned, and the room loked like a ruined Belgian Chapel when a young man emerged from the ruin and handed the pencil to its owner, Miss Lucile Hovey, the only woman in the class.
College Freshman: "You smoke them awful short, don't you, Steve?" Junior Law: "No, I smoke them as long as I can."

Russel Whitman, '93. Will be Toastmaster at This Year's Event
Large Attendance Expected
N. Y. Association Responsible for Transcontinental Telephone Dinner in 1916
The thirty-first annual dinner of the New York Alumni Association of the University of Kansas will be held at Hotel McAlpin in New York City this year, April 19. Rufft Whitman, publisher of the New York Commercial and for several management firms Burke Circuations, will be toastmaster at the dinner. Mr. Whitman was graduated from the University in 1893.
It was the New York Alumni Association that two years ago managed the trans-continental telephone conversation when nearly 800 K. U. students and alumni listened in on Chancellor Strong's speech given in Lawrence in Robinson Gymnasium. There were 500 at the dinner here, about fifty in San Francisco, and several hundred at the annual banquet in New York. Each guest at all three of the banquets had an individual telephone.
BENSON KELLOGG CHIEF SPEAKER
This year alumni are expected to be in Boston, Washington, and Philadelphia, and many other cities of the East. Herbert Flint, '14, and Alice Houston, '11, are active in arranging the dinner this year. Kate Stephens, an author, is the founder of the New York Alumni Association, while Nils C. Benson is president of the association.
Vernon Kellogg, '89, who was with Herbert Hoover in Belgium with the relief commission and now with Hoover in Washington, is to be the principal speaker at the annual dinner. He was on the faculty of the University Stanford College at this time he went into the relief commission work.
WAR WORK UNDERTAKEN
WORK UNDERTAKEN
Wallace Notestine, former professor of history at the University, who went from K. U. to the University of Minnesota, will be another of the chief speakers. Mr. Notestine has been granted a leave of absence from Minnesota so that he can do war research work at Washington for the government.
Baldwin Mitchell, now in military service, will represent the younger graduates at the dinner. Mitchell was graduated from the K. U. School of Law in 1917.
Liberty Bond Campaign Starts On Hill With Large Subscriptions
Drive Will Not Start Until Next Week—Blanks Have Not Arrived
The first two members of the faculty, who have been approached in the Liberty Loan campaign have responded generously with subscriptions of $1,000 and $500 respectively. The campaign has not \begin{earned}, because the Liberty Loan blanks have not yet arrived.
Prof. U. G. Mitchell, of the department of mathematics has charge of the men's committee and Mrs. T. T. Smith is at the head of the woman's committee. Subscriptions may be sent to the women them, but the real campaign will not start until the last of this week or the first of next.
State Convention Is Sought
Special efforts are being made by officers of the Lawrence Christian Endeavor Union to register all local Endeavors at the district convention which is to be held here next week. The plans will be presented at the meetings Sunday, when members will be urged to assist in making a showing that will bring to Lawrence the State C. E., convention for 1919.

BRING THEM IN
How do the students who take books from the University libraries and selfishly keep them for days or even months while a whole class waits and searches in vain for a necessary reference, square their conduct with their consciences?
Contrary perhaps to expectations the students most guilty of this abuse of public library facilities are as a rule those most scrupulously upright in other respects. Taking a book surreptitiously at the expense of a whole class when the class is perhaps dependent upon just that one copy is more than inconsiderate, it is vandalism. Only those who have suffered from this gross selfishness in others can appreciate fully the annoyance suffered by the student-body each year from the regular percentage of offenders. University librarians are able to track down missing copies, but being more inclined to mercy than justice they have so far refrained from making any cases public.
It would be interesting to know just what brand of moral sothing sirup that students who make a practice of abusing their library privileges take to ease off their consciences.
What their consciences really need is a purgative. They can administer it themselves without the assistance of the librarian. Their chief cause for extended delinquency lies in their share to appear with the book after so many days and then more and more days. Just coming in and telling the truth would houseclean their souls. No excuses—no promises—just the truth.
In an effort to save shoe leather, Texans are organizing barefoot clubs. To date Kansans have expressed no intention of saving their soles in any such manner.
HEAD.—YES.—BUT LEGS!
Editorial writers, a group all to themselves, ready to spurt ink on provocation, professionally committed to deliver printed columns by the yard—are a bane, are on the sidetrack of journalism with the switches locked a both ends and the rails rinsed in between.
That is what Fred L. Trigg told an informal group of novitiate editors yesterday afternoon as he talked with them plainly across a common table to which all had drawn up chairs with him. He has been writing editorials as they were absolutely necessary ever since the late Col. Nelson told him and the rest of the old crew that sailed under the Star's flag that the editorial page was not per measurement but according to what was worth writing
what would ring the bell when you
rought down the hammer.
"If the day comes that the dispatches bring nothing worth editorial commentary," the colonel once said to Mr. Trigg, "and if there is nothing specifically in particular to talk about,—why we'll just say this simple truth in a paragraph at the top of the first editorial column and be honest and not write anything below at all."
The empty day has never come. And so long as things are as they are and so long as it is not a settled fact that no better way of living and doing can be found, that empty day never will come. There is something to write about and the only trouble is that heady, top-heavy, self-opinionated formally nominated "editors" are too much lost in their own biased, partisan, extremely personal little odds and ends that they are trying to ram down people's throats that they never hit within the large-gness and power of really big things.
Fred L. Trigg writes an editorial when he wants to, when his heart is behind it—and his is a big heart that is right with the common folks. He does not try to tell them what's what. He has a head; he can interpret news and conditions and facts; he also has legs that carry him out among men who wear overalls and swing picks, and among sensible women who hang out their own washings and take care of their own young-ones. He finds out what they are all thinking and feeling and wanting. They differ here and there, and in some points they desire to be set right or to be informed, or to be convinced. They are open-minded. Because he is, and because he has listened, they are ready to listen to him.
The Star would do well to have the Trigg editorials signed. Many people know them well without any signature—it's the surest one to reach the heart with its sincerity, the surest one to state the plain truth with patience and yet with no dodging an inevitable issue. But for the rest—let them know always when Col. Nelson's old right-hand man is behind the idea and the sentiment. Let them feel in him the additional carrying power of his words. He walks among them. His head—yes and it has the right balance and it is in direct contact with his heart—but his legs—they carry him right up to every last man and woman who thinks and has a right to be heard because of thinking. He is the watchman. He is not an "editorial writer." He is the champion of the person who pays ten cents a week for the old Star and the ever-lasting Star.
Wheatless strawberry shortcake is a luxury our forefathers escaped.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT A visitor was walking on the campus. A party of girls came down the sidewalk. One girl was talking and laughing in lecture room tones, entirely too loud for good taste. She made the party seem noisy. It was a trifle, yet those tones lingered among his impressions of the University.
Kansas has proved as fertile a field for bucolic drama as any Maine village in "Naughty, Naughty" a distinct achievement in the field of screen comedy.

Thrice a Week Right Here
Call Write, THE KANAN
A letter come to the Kansan office yesterday that necessitated the creation of a new department and almost the creation of a person to fill the long bise chair of that department. The person has been found and is modestly willing and herewil begins labors—on that letter.
Call, Write, or Phone THE KANSAN
Now that letter dealt with something personal. A girl wanted to know what to do in a Pullman sleepee when the shades of night begin to fall. She has always travelled by day between a place called Balboa and Lawrence, and when she goes to St. Louis next Friday she will incidentally see Kansas City, Mo., for the first time. She will see at least the under-union station for the second time when she comes back. This is not any discredit to Balboa, for without any further offense to K. C. Mo., it isn't at all essential to human edification to be familiar with the so-called Gateway of the West, and it is sometimes considerably safer and healthier to stay west of the gateway.
But in the sleeper—the steel vacuum-cleaned fold-up and put in your grip convenient sleeper., why child-alive, do as the others do. That's easy. Don't kneel by the berth for your "Now I Lay Me" but say it all to yourself in the secluded privacy of your upper box under the ventilator. The porter will get around to your section last and you must stand at the hise, seize swaying curtain and hold with the movement of the train while he hauls out the pure laundered linen and makes a sanitary bed. No police station in the country can beat the Pullman Company in bed-making.
When the porter has done his task, don't ask him to boost you up. Just tell him to fetch the step-ladder and hold it while you climb. Dive from the top step, but dive short and shallow like a dated conversation at K. U. Fasten the green curtains—loop the buttons—and don't forget to slip a boudre cap over your hair if you don't want to lok like a Circassian beauty in the morning. It will be hard to get out of your shoes, but you must if you want them blackened by the porter during the long hours of the night thumping itself out on the rythmic rail joints. You will ultimately, but if you don't bank it, but if you don't head when the train stops for water or worse, for you're to be traveling through Missouri. Oh—the net is not a doll's hammock, but a receptacle for clothes. There is a coathanger suspended from the roof. And put money and valuables where nobody would think of looking for them.
Don't jump down in the morning. And don't yell for the porter or you might wake up late sleepers. Push the little button next your nook as soon as you are sufficiently presentable; he'll come; tell him the steps again. When you get off the train slip him, a quarter. His name is Gawge; he is recurrent; and he has a terrible memory. Don't forget—just twenty-five cents. That's all, dear. Write again.

Tire Company Offers Work
Candy is not under the food ban—the Food Administration recognizes candy as a food, but it suggests that you select those kinds that contain the least amount of sugar. Chocolate dipped nuts, jelly candies, marshmallows and nut candies are a few varieties approved by Mr. Heover. All of these and others, you'll find at Wiedemann's—Ady.
A letter has been received at the University from one of the largest tire companies offering work in the factories of the company to ablebodied college students. The work consists of manual labor in different departments throughout the factory and the large amount of government work contracted by the company is the reason given for the need of more men.

Two Phi Gams went to Kansas City last week end for the express purpose of hiring a cook for the fraternity. While searching for the said cook, they turned into the Muehbach and finding the food there very much to their taste, they gained access to the kitchen and tried to persuade one of the artists of the kitchen to come to Lawrence and meet them one of them, cheapest one of them, after much argument, finally consented to come for the trifling sum of sixty-five dollars per week.

Hard Hitting Marks Short Practice Game Of Varsity Candidates
First Squad Players Make Clean Drives Far Past Outfielders
The hardest hitting of the year characterized the practice game play; between two squads picked from the Varsity candidates last night. The first team defeated the second aggregation by an 8-4 score. Both teams played well in the field, with the exception of two or three bobbles in the last two innings, and the manner in which the men were cracking the ball was particularly pleasing to the coach.
The lineup for the first team was Bunn, catcher; Goodwin and Slawson, pitchers; Uhrlauh, first base; Cherry, second base; Foster, short stop; Lonborg, third base; Weltmer, left field; Smith, center field; Oyster, right field. The other team lines up as foliage. The defense pitcher; Schoppel, pitcher; Machamer, first base; Willems, second base; Joslin, short stop; Keeler, third base; Tarrant, left field; Willhelmy and Johnson, center field, and Knoles, right field.
Nearly every player on the first squad got at least one hit and most of these hits were clean drives past the reach of even the outfielders. Oyster led the hitting with two solid doubles past third base in as many times at bat. Cooper, Machamer, and Foster also got doubles, and Wilhelmy, Weltm, Bunn and Cherry joined for singles. Two new faces were present in the lineup in Foster at short stop for the first aggregation and Jimmy Knoles in right field for the second team. Knoles was in uniform for the first time and may add strength to the outfield.
Coach Bond gave the a set of signals which they used in the batting practice before the four-inning game, and the hit and run was tried several times. There was also a good drill in bunting. A practice game will probably be played with the freshmen this afternoon, and from now on the practices will begin at 3:30 instead of 4 o'clock which has been the regular time.
SPORT BEAMS
The Kansas City Polytechnic Institute track team has scheduled due meets with the Haskell Indians, William Jewell College and Wentworth Military Academy and a meet will probably be scheduled with the Warrenburg Normals.
The Ames baseball team will open the season Saturday, with the Camp Dodge nine as their opponents. Clyde Williams is coaching the Ames team.
The Annual Drake Relay Carnival will be held April 20 at Des Moines. Thirty men were out for the trials at the University of Nebraska last Friday to decide who should represent the Huskers at the meet.
Three Greek letter baseball leagues have been formed at the Ohio State University and games will begin next week. The freshmen, who were not allowed to play last year, will be in the lineup this year.
Baseball and track workout have been suspended for two or three days at Colorado State College because of snow and cold weather.
The University of Oklahoma baseball team opened the season at Norman today, with the World's Champion Chicago White Sox as their opponents.
Gets Government Position
The freshmen at the University of Indiana emulated the K. U. Fresh nine last Thursday and tied the Varsity team, 6-6. The game at Indiana went ten innings.
Gets Government Position
Prof. S. J. Hunter of the department of entomology has just received word from Jess Gardner A.B. '17, that he has been appointed as entomologist by the Federal Government at Wellington, Kan. Mr. Gardner majored in the department of entomology and since his graduation has been with Thrift & Co., in Kansas City.
Harry J. Tackler of the department of entomology returned Monday from Kansas City, Kan, where he has been inspecting a shipment of trees and shrubs just sent over from Holland. These specimens are both flowering and fruit bearing and are to be distributed throughout Kansas.

Murphy Runs Half Mile In Remarkable Time
Quarter Events
Mile, and Two-Mile Were Rather Slow Yesterday
Murphy ran an unusual race last night in the half-mile the first night that any attempt has been made this season to make good time on the outdoor track. He covered the distance in 2 minutes 5-4 seconds, which is remarkable time for so early in the season with a soft track and cold weather. Murphy timed the indoor track at Convention Hall was little better than this. He ran away from the other three runners in the race.
Rice was going well in the high jump, and cleared 5 feet 10 inches. The quarter mile was won by Cleft in comparatively slow time. Ralph Rodkey hurt his hip again in this race and finished in poor shape. The mile was run in 5 minutes 6 seconds, with Hunt and Dewail leading the field of four or five runners. In the two mile Oglevie, Hanna, and Buffington came in good shape, but the time was 11 minutes, which is slow.
Hobart started work on the hurdles again this afternoon and several other men are expected out for that hopelessly weak event this year. More men are coming out this week in a last hope to get into trim for the race, and many are expected afternoon. The meet is scheduled to at 4 o'clock and will be run off according to the Missouri Valley schedule of events.
Uhls Announces Tryouts
For Tennis, Saturday
Six Players to be Selected, Only One "K" Man From Last
Kenneth Uhls, tennis captain, is anxious that there be a large number out for the tennis tryout on the University courts, Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. There is an opening for six players, who will be selected at Saturday's tryout.
Year
Uhs was in Lawrence Saturday and speaks enthusiastically for the outlook of the team. In all probability K. U. will play the Kansas Agries, Ames, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Uhs will enter in the school of Medicine at Rosedale at Saturday. The team may practice some days on the courts at Rosedale.
Ulisi is the only man of last year's team back this year. Allie Cowell, gunned down, is now in the service. Two men from the captain may be given K's this year.
And Still the Iceman
Makes His Morning Call
And yet the University tries to conserve. We eliminate, cut down, do without, economize, and in sunny ways do our bit toward "winning the war." The latest wrinkle has been to abolish bottled water in an effort to cut down expenses. The coolers in the various buildings are idle, and the students either go gristly or imbibe of the watery sediment which issues from the drinking fountains.
Chocolate caramels, coconut tops Cleveland's choice and marshalows—none like Wiedemann's—Adv
'Tis all very well, but—the ice man has not been notified. Around he trudges each morning filling the coolers with ice, with an air of philanthropic self-satisfaction at lessening the sufferings of a thirsting humanity.

City Water Is Now Safe;
Drinking Fountains Used
Because the city water has been pronounced safe for use as drinking water, twenty new white drinking fountains have been placed in the University buildings since April 1. Every building on the campus now has one fountain and most of the larger buildings have two or more. Use of the distilled water was discontinued April 1.
The reason given by John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, for the new arangement is that the use of the distilled water is much greater in warm months and the price on the bottled distilled water has been recently advanced. Since the service was discontinued ice cool drinking water has been dispensed with necessarily.
The cost of the white sheets of paper for individual drinking cups runs up to more than $20 a month, according to Mr. Shea, and this together with the increase in price in water and the increased consumption of ice and water caused the old system to break. The use of waxed cups such as were furnished last year would take an increase of $150 a month.
Alexander Johnston, '12, has been promoted to a major, Judge Advocate, on February 20, 1918. Major Johnston enlisted October 4, 1917, and ranked a captain. He is now on his way to France, being in the overseas service.

Haddock Is Entered In Pentathlon Event At Penn Relay Games
Javelin
Rice Also to Represent K. U.
In High Jump and
Marshall Haddock, a sophomore in the University, has been entered in the pentathlon at the Penn Relay games at Philadelphia, April 26, Coach W. O. Hamilton announced today. This special event will include the 200-meter dash, 1,500 meter run, the broad jump, discus, and javelin. He will also be entered in the 100-yard dash and discus, and Jayhawkers expect him to do his best work in these two events because he has never been entered in this five-event specialty.
Carl Rice, star high jumper, is expected to show well in this event and may place in the javelin which he has been working with since last year. He has been entered in both events in the Eastern meet.
The entry of Haddock in the pantathon was a surprise to the Kansas track fans, but they feel confident that he will do well for, well his all-round ability in the dashes and weight events should count enough points for him. His best work is in the 220-yard dash, and the 200-meter race is a little longer than this event. He is an excellent discus thrower and last spring showed some form in tossing the javelin. His showing in the broad jump is expected to be only fair, because he has never competed in this event. The 1,500-meter run will be his weakest event in all likelihood, for Haddock is not a distance runner. His longest race has been the quarter mile
K. U. Engineers' Work In Standards Bureau Highly Complimented
Experiments With Electrical Devices Found Especially Successful
He especially complimented the School of Engineering on the work that its men are doing with experiments in electrical devices in the laboratories of the Bureau of Standards.
"I can safely say that K. U. has as many men doing excellent work in our bureau at any school in the west," said E. R. Shepard, associate electrical engineer, in the Bureau of Standards at Washington, in a lecture Tuesday afternoon in Marvin Hall.
Mr. Shepard is on his way to the Pacific Coast and is stopping at the larger schools of the country to tell of the work being done by his bureau. He exhibited lantern slides showing the laboratories and workshops in which tests and experiments were being made for new inventions and instruments which, if successful, will be used in the department as part of the ordnance equipment. He talked especially of the many attempts to perfect a submarine detector which thus far, the bureau has been unsuccessful in perfecting.
Mr. Shepard is anxious, he said, to procure the services of more technical men in his work. Nearly all of the men who are now working in the laboratories are men who have been taken from the colleges and technical schools of the country. He advised the instructors not to do all that is possible in turning out engineers who are in demand by the government at this time.
Mr. Shepard is speaking at the Agricultural College in Manhattan today.
Coach Wedell Chooses First Freshman Nine
The first cut of the season was made in the freshman squad Tuesday afternoon by Coach Dutch Wedell. Twelve players were picked to make up the nucleus of the team this year. A few other promising freshmen will probably be picked in the near future from the remaining candidates.
The men picked Tuesday were: Brite and Desmond, catchers; Marxen and Pierce, pitchers; Harms, first base; McClead, second base; Murphy, third base; Vernillon, fourth base; Shields, Vermillion, Palmer, and Jukins, outfielders.

Students Give Number Of Books to Soldiers
Two boxes of books, containing about 80 volumes, have been collected at Spooner Library by University students for the soldiers. The books reflect the idea of University students concerning what they consider worth reading. Most of the books are of scientific nature or classies. There are two volumes of Shakespeare's complete works, volumes of Whittier, Lowell, Burns, Longfellow, and Field and several novels by Dickens, Thackeray, Elliot, and Blackmore. Books on modern fiction are in the minority, but works on science, history, and mythology are popular.
The War Here and Over There
CASUALTY LIST LEAPS
A casualty list, the first issued for the American forces in France for the last six days, released under instructions from Secretary Baker reports 447 dead, wounded, or missing. The heaviest toll for this period was April 5, when 124 casualties were reported. Eighteen were killed in action, eleven died of wounds, twenty-one were captured, four died of accident, forty-six died of disease, three died of unknown causes, 103 were severely wounded and 241 were slightly wounded. The report also shows the number of casualties, the average being about forty, while the average daily loss for this list indicates a loss of seventy-four.
No addresses are given because of the enforced censorship and the list has been withheld because of an order saying that all news must come from Pershing's headquarters. Some of the casualties are believed to have been among the engineer units in the great Picardy battle still raging.
The Germans are attacking in France on an eleven-mile from 'from Givenchy and a point near Fleurbaix.

Trenches Prove Hearts of Men Lieutenant Wint Smith, K. U.'17, Writes of Experiences on Tour of French Front Line
The following was written within four hundred yards of Kaiser Bill's children. I kept writing a little every day, and the reason it is finished is because none of the Kaiser's shells found a resting place near me. Fritz didn't know that I was visiting across the street from him, and I didn't report the fact, for he has a way all his own of treating visitors.
To My Friends:
Somewhere on the French Front, Month of February, 1918.
The following account is not meant to be a complete narrative nor a piece of pure description, but is meant to present my observations and experiences during a ? day's trip to the front. These humorous events as well as serious ones happen just as in every day life.
I left my home station at 10 o'clock on a train that should have arrived at 8. In reply to your query as to why trains are late or the soup is cold the French always reply, "C'est la guerre." I think all French trains are owned by the Missouri Pacific, or, at least, if they are not, they are run on a Missouri Pacific schedule.
On arriving at the station for which I was destined, and from which I was to take an automobile through the countryside to the front I spent a very pleasant half hour searching my dictionary for French words, and looking about the town for hidden streets which lie just to "adroit or agouche" from where you are standing.
I finally found the town major's office and was informed that this particular town mayor did not handle military affairs as is the custom in many towns. Of course I was supposed to know this. However, after due inquiry and much fumbling of the French language, I found the car that was to meet me at the station. I entered the car and was jerked away from the station out to a fine French road, where our only diversion was stopping for sentries, dodging vehicles, and splashing thin, white mud on pedestrians we passed.
In the wind was an odor such as one would get from no place except a stretch of earth, soaked by months of dreary rain, torn by thousands of shells, littered with all kinds of material wreckage and strewn with the wasted bodies of fallen men. As we neared the front lines a big gun sent
CAR FOUND AT LAST
In passing a Frenchman on the road one can always tell just how far he has walked. If he is just nicely speckled he has walked about a mile; if he is well camouflaged he has walked about two miles; and if he is completely masked he has been walking about an hour. The road followed a never-ending line of trees over hill and vale, along poplar-lined canals and through picturesque villages smugly tucked away under tree-clad hills or lined along winding streams.
At last we arrived at Army Head army to corps, from corps to division regiment to battalion. From the battalion I was taken to a dugout and shown my sleeping quarters, which was in a typical trench dugout.
MUD PRESENT EVERYWHERE
The whole scene helps one to realize what the catacombs were like, and how people must have suffered in them.
CANDLE MEASURES SHELL SHOCK
Here one never hears any noise from the war that is going on above.
Only a laint jar is felt now and then when a large shell explodes. The candle that is always present acts as a guide to find the distance of the shell, for with every explosion the flame flickers, the flicker varying with the distance and the intensity of the explosion.
At last you reach the bottom and find yourself in a long underground gallery, along the sides of which are bunks for men to sleep on. Along the sides of the gallery men sit huddled together, elbow to elbow. They are smoking, eating pieces of bread and cheese, writing letters by the aid of feeble candle rays or staring blankly at the wall in front of them. Their legs are wrapped in blankets and their heads are bundled up in muffins, about the size of your hand, much in available space, are rifles, cartridges, cartridge belts, helmets, wine flasks and empty sand bags. A draft of air sweeps by laden with tobacco smoke and the steaming breath of the men. The floor is covered with mud of many months.
There are hours at a time when one never, never hearss any noise of the war. Once, while I was following my guide up the trenches there was no sound save a distant rumble of guns perhaps five miles away. This soon stopped and no sound could be heard except that which we made as we slushed along through the mud. Overhead a hazy moon shown through a flimy cloud; a few stars shown through speckling the western sky, and a soft wind was blowing from off the shell-torn earth.
Upon entering such a dugout one walks up a winding trench whose sides are continually being washed down by the rain. The bottom of the trench is covered with from four to five inches of thin ooze. As you pass down the trench you come to an opening in the side of the trench. Here you break down a pass which holds somewhere into the underground Out of this passage foul, warm air is issuing. You enter the opening and descend through the darkness, feeling your way down the muddy, slimy
quarters. We were passed along fro from division to regiment, and fro
a shell whining overhead, a machine gun spattered, and all was quiet again. As far as sounds were concerned one might as well have been on the broad plains of western Kansas.
GOING TO BED SIMPLE MATTER
As it grows dark at the front side begins to send up flares and rockets which light up the landscape as brilliantly as the sunshine. These lights are shot up by means of pistols made especially for illuminating work. As the rocket starts to descend it explodes and a bright calcium light fastened to a parachute comes floating down. While these lights are burning shadows dance ghostlike over the ground, and the machine guns sputter at all suspicious signs. One has rather a strange feeling as he descends into a former Boche house over the ground, and the machine guns sputter at all suspicious signs. What
RATS QUARREL AT NIGHT
During the night I was awakened by a rat jumping off one of the narrow shelves on me. A few minutes later another rat jumped on me from this same shelf. Upon investigation I found that my helmet was obstructing the rats' passage on this particular shelf. Of course I removed my helmet and gave them a clear path.
Later in the night I was awakened by rats quarrelling over the right to search in my toilet articles. I set up a trap and shot them, the militants with my trench cane.
The next morning the French were amazed by my atrocious deed. They began telling me about great numbers of their comrades who had been killed on the day they were so thoughtless as to kill a rat. Of course I was glad to hear all this, since it was so cheering. He mutilated me, who came as me when I had the mumps and exclaimed, "Land sakes! You look just like brother Henry did before he died with the mumps."
EFFECTS OF SHILLING TOLD
I got up early that morning to go with the major on his morning round of inspection. We were just preparing to start when the Boche decided it was time to put over a few shells. When the bombardment started we could hear the voices of the cannon of all sizes and at all distances.

Several men on the Hill have a mania for collecting pictures of K. U. women for their art galleries and their acquisition instinct is so developed that they will even buy pictures if a young woman does not give them a life size portrait. A Senior girl was approached recently by one of these collectors and she said she had no picture. She was truthful in the matter because she had no picture (for him.) The man refused to accept this answer and he visited several photographers to learn if she was having any pictures made. "And they killed men like Lincoln."
All students familiar with the study of rocks in geology, know that certain scratching tests are made upon rocks to determine the kind of a rock it is. The other day a student held up a piece of apatite rock (which he thought was apatite rock but was not sure), and inquired of the instructor as to what kind of a rock it was. "Have you scratched it yet?" asked the instructor. "I haven't any file to scratch my apatite with," replied the student innocently.

One eve as she sat alone she saw her heart be throbbing. Her heart and pulse were throbbing fast —for she was to hear his voice at last! Long distance what's that you say—that he wants me to pay! Well do—what will I do?"—Just please tell him that I am through."
Now the Kollege Kick— Yes, It's a Real Dance
The W. S. G. A. will give the "K college Kick" in F. A. U. Hall Saturday night, April 20. Haley and Bevenice from Kansas City will play, Prof. and Mrs. Arthur MacMurray will chaperone.
The dance is being given to raise money for the various student activities in which the Association is interested. This year contributions have been made to the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. Friendship Fund, and to other movements for war relief. A French orphan was also adopted for the year. Part of the yarn used in the knitting classes first semester was purchased by the Association and money was given for the Thanksgiving and Christmas boxes sent by the University to Company M at Camp Doniphan. A scholarship is given each year.
Formly the May Fete was given for the benefit of the student council but this year no fete will be given because of the war.

Varsity Nine Playing In Mid-Season Form Defeats Freshman
Scoreless
First String Men Scored Three Runs and Held Yearlings Scoringless
The Varsity nine again defeated Coach Wedell's freshman team in a five-inning practice game, Tuesday afternoon, by a 3-0 score. The game was fast and both teams were playing in mid-season form. The only runs of the game were scored by the Var-Softs and the Bats and two errors by the freshmen
Bunn caught for the Varsity and Caler worked on the mound. The same line up was used in the infield and outfield as was used Monday, with Lonborg on third, Foster on short, Cherry playing second and Uhrlau on first. Weltmil, Smith and Oyster made the outfield. Brite and Desmond worked behind the bat for the freshmen and sophomores in box. The infield and outfield was used, with Lashely, Murphy, McClead and Harmes making up the inner defense and Shields, Vermilion, Judkins and Palmer in the outfield.
The Varsity infield was working more smoothly than at any other time this season and not an error was marked up. Foster at short play excelled baseball and his work with Cherry around second base was the feature of the practice. The shifting of Cherry from short stop to second base makes the infield look much stronger, both from a fielding and batting standpoint, as Foster's hitting will add considerable offensive power. Isnerberg, who was out for the team earlier in the season, but quit two weeks ago because of outside work, will be out again this week and his presence will make the competition between the infielders very keen. Isnerberg played second base and short stop on last year's freshman nine.
Caler pitched good ball throughout for the Varsity and only in the last innning did the freshmen give him trouble. Then, with three men on bases and two out, Shields, the last yearling to bat, flied to Smith for the third out. The freshman got four hits off Caler, but two of them were of the scratch variety. The Varsity gathered only four hits but they came at the right time to produce three runs.
Foster led off with a walk in the third and Smith got on by an error, Foster advancing to second. Foster stole third and scored when Lonbong singled to left field.

CANDY YOU MAY EAT
College people, more than any other class of Americans, are affected with an insatiable desire for candy and sweets. Now with war upon us it has become necessary to use precaution as to what kind of candy may be bought to save sugar.
The Food Administration says that it is possible to eat candy and satisfy your sweet tooth, and still be a patriot if care is used in selecting the kinds of candy that contain a minimum rather than a maximum amount of sugar. To aid in the selection of war-time candy the administration has listed in four groups the candies containing a minimum amount of sugar.
The first group includes chocolate-coated candies with nut and fruit centers especially t the old-fashioned chocolate creams with the bitter-sweet coating, and uncoated candies such as nougatines, Turkish pastes, and similar varieties. There is an abundance of chocolate; it is pure and wholesome and has high food value.
Marshmallows and similar candy comprises the third group. They may be eaten plain, toasted, dipped in chocolate, rolled in coconut and in many other palatable forms, also popcorn confections.
The second group includes "hard boiled candies" such as lemon drops, stick candy, fruit tablets, peanut bars, peanut brittle, glace nuts and the like. In this group may also be placed molasses candies, such as taffies and kisses.
In the fourth group are included gundrops, jellies, jelly beans and the like, giving a wide variety of candy made from pure and wholesome ingredients and containing a minimum amount of sugar.
In eating candy in any of these four groups the consuming public is doing two definite things to aid conservation. First, it is saving sugar without neglecting the great American sweet tooth; second, it is enabling the confectioners to continue their industry and employ their labor as usual.
More than one French student has nearly gone mad trying to translate a solo rendered in French.
APATHY IS HERE
War has brought many changes to the University of Kansas. But the most hopeless thing which has developed is the wave of apathy which has swept over the University campus. Students appear in classes with a nonchalance which is suggestive of their having been gassed. The lack of spirit is distressing.
Men come out for track occasionally and irregularly. The baseball squad this season is noticeable for
its lack in numbers. In a war year, all the read-the-score-at-home contingent should go into the field, if only in preparation for service. Yet this year fewer men have tried for the teams. There should be some effort to make up in quantity what is lacking in quality and yet this year there have been fewer to try for the teams.
Debating has never been so poorly attended and so little interest given to it by the students of the University. In dramatics alone has there been anything like the usual interest shown. There have been the necessary coaches and the proper management. But still things have drifted.
An old K. U. man who has been h. Lawrence for the last two months remarked that he had not heard a Jayhawker yell since he had been in town. School spirit was nil to him, he said. The war is partially to blame for this self-satisfied feeling. Why should we have a rally? The University is moving along in fairly good shape. Who cares who becomes president of the Men's Student Council? He is sure to be a worthy student because he goes to the University of Kansas.
The women of the University have a nice lady-like election recently. The candidates were nice and were sure of getting the offices, because they had no competition. Few went to the polls to vote. More apathy. The track team recently lost three of its best athletes. But there has been no rush of men to fill these places. Let the other fellow go out and take care of those places. The other man is good enough to represent the University. Why should I go out for the team? There is only one old man back trying for the Jayhawker baseball team. The team is a nine of younger men. Too few are trying for each position.
Tennis is still in its infancy this year, with little hope of its getting out of it. It has been a long drag for most students. Many have left for the service. The interest of many has been scattered. Studies have suffered and the student body has assumed a perpetually bored air. Even in the matter of freshmen caps, the sophomores have watched the green yearlings pass by minus his distinctive headgear. Who cares whether they wear caps since the University Senate takes away the means of enforcing this hallowed convention?
The University has men in service who are doing things in the world war. There is no better time than the present for a little proof that all the ginger has not gone into the army.
BUT-
It was at the last concert. The student knew good music when he heard it but he could not appreciate the continuous whistling, humming, and keeping time with his foot that the musically artistic person sitting behind him was doing. Of course, the artistic person was having a fine time and was in his glory, but—
The Kaiser's ailment has been diagnosed at last. A Chicago professor calls it "Megalomania." If you or I had the disease the friends of our enemies would diagnose it as "swelled head."
The ears of one of the alto players in the navy band wiggled as he blew. This seems to be a case of playing by ear.
Young Man—"Please come out in the garden with me?"
Fair Coad—"Then I don't want to go." Froth.
The Quartermaster, (to new arrival): "Now, my lad, what do you want?"
Fair Coed— "Oh no, I mustn't go out without a chaperone."
Young man—"But we won't need one."

Prize Poem Contest Is Opened In the Kansan
HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
The following judges have consented to serve for the Kansan Prize Poem Contest: Professors Hoopes and Wattles of the department of English and Professor Humble of the School of Law. The editors of the Kansan will act as a preliminary clearing house and publish every day for many days what is worth the judges' while to consider. Candidates for Kansan laureatehops are urged to get their heart-thrubs and soul-sueethings in early because the contest is likely to close most any time sine die or ipso facto or something like that which might mean you get no warning and there's no opening the gate of heaven the second time.
Besides the honor there is a prize, a real prize, given by the Kansan. Fred Rigby gives it in person. It is a book, not the kind of volume you use to get—"The Last Days of Pompeii" or "Last of the Mohicans" or last of anything—this is the first of something. It is the Treasury of War Poetry collected from all writers both sides of the Atlantic, classified according to theme as well as to geographical situation of source. Houghton Mifflin Company publish it. Furthermore, Fred Rigby will be one of the foremost of the lower prize court. The idea he has not the additional quality of saving space and insists on being effusive he may have to tell you that genius is cheap when paper is high. But he really feels kindly about this whole matter. Recently he was overheard saying, "I do like pomes, honestly I do!" And Fred meant what he said.
Send or bring your poems to the Kansan office, then. Address them to the Contest Editor, for he is the delegated receiver of all dedications to te Muses. The compositors are waiting. Never mind their wicked grims. They who have set up Browning may yet find his successor in the University of Kansas.

Although Alfred had arrived at the age of twenty-one years he showed no inclination either to pursue his studies or in any way adapt himself to his father's business.
"Maybe he hasn't found himself yet," consoled the confidential friend. "Isn't be rifted in any way?"
"I don't know what I will ever make of that son of mine," bitterly complained his father, a hustling business man.

Come this is the beginning of spring.
The last of famous old March,
Don't you hear those birds sing
"Gifted?" quered the father, "Well,
I should say he is! He ain't got a darned thing that wasn't given to him."
Ho! the worms, forward march.
Camouflage Clothing
Camouflage clothing looks like what it is not. It is an imitation of something that is real. It is "store window clothing"—fairly good for display purposes, but not built to stand the rigid test of wear.
It is sometimes hard to distinguish between artfully camouflaged clothing, made from cotton adulterated fabrics, and real clothing made of all wool. There is a way of knowing.
The Hart Schaffner & Marx label in your clothes is a guarantee of all wool fabrics. You want this kind of clothes because they are real economy-they wear longer and hold their shape and color-newness.
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes offer a genuine investment opportunity, backed by the Honor Pledge of "the store with.a Conscience"—that is your guarantee of better values,better merchandise and better service.
This Spring, practice sane clothes economy.
Figure your clothes expense by the year rather than by the suit.
New Spring models in Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes $22.50, $25.00,

Trenches Prove
Hearts of Men
(Continued from page 1)
Near us we were the field guns and away away we the big siege guns. Soon after the firing began we heard the barking of a stalker inside of the French 75's in retaliation.
When one hears the whistle of a shell overhead the danger is already past. The shells that burst overhead come in all unhelaled. Sometimes they come in salvos of three or four and often they come singly. The explosive report of shrapnel is always followed by the hum of flying balls. The big trench mortals al-arab are earth tremble when they explode, shrapnel drops as if they were mere twigs, and the big contact shells make hole eight or ten feet across and send clouds of earth forty or fifty feet into the air
Finally the shelling ceased just as suddenly as it had begun, and we went out of our shelters and started on our tour of the trenches. It was early morning and the air was chilly and damp with fog that hung about in all the low places. Men were standing about their weapons ready to repel any surprise attack, and piled about them were stores of grenades and ammunition. Some of the men were eating bread and cheese. They were all muddy of course, for during their turn in the front trenches they are never permitted to sleep except with their clothes all on ready for instant action.
DOGS USED AS SENTRIES
**DOGS USED AS SENSIBLE LISTERS**
As they go fishing, the trenches we met in French soldiers leading a couple of french dogs. Upon inquiry I found that these two dogs had been with one of the companies for the last two years. They are used as sentries at night. During the day they live in the dugouts and share the best of food with the men. As soon as night comes the dogs are taken up to the foremost observation posts where they stay throughout the night. At all the observation posts there is a specially prepared implementation for them where they lie with their heads just above the parapet, watching and listening for any unusual signs of danger. In the lead of danger they warn their companions by a low, barely audible growl. Throughout their two years in the trenches they have never been known to bark.
About the hour of 8 o'clock men came plodding up the trenches from the kitchens in the rear with buckets of hot soup. Here and there they took shelter to let a shell explode and scatter its deadly pieces about the trench. A man carrying food must be doubly cautious.
MEN DROWNED IN CRATER HOLES
The sights in a strip of country that has been the scene of a deadly engagement leave an indelible impression on the mind. To describe them is impossible, for words cannot paint the picture of a modern battle ground.
This particular battleground was once a forest of good sized trees, but all of the forest that now remains are a few splintered tree trunks that have survived the deadly shell fire. The ground has been torn and return by shells, making craters of all sizes which are now filled with green water which, in some of the craters, is deep enough for a man to drown in. In fact I have heard of several wounded Frenchmen being drowned while crossing this section at night.
Scattered about in such a place is
wreckeage of all kinds. The first thing that strikes your attention is the masses of marled and twisted barbed wire that has been placed before the trenches. Amidst this waste of desolation and ruin are all sorts of rusty implements of war—rifles, grenades, machine guns, bayonets, helmets, gas masks and ammunition just as they were left on the day of the battle.
BODIES LIE UNBURIED
Scattered around among the wreckage are mummy-like forms of fallen Boches. Here and there amid all the wreckage and the bodies one comes occasionally upon a little mound of earth, marked by a small wooden cross bearing the tricolor of France, with its crown of red flowers when I came upon a torn body that had been recently disinterred by a shell.
"A Boche," said my interpreter. He showed no more emotion when he said Boche than if he had been speaking of an empty shell case.
I stooped down and picked up a name plate that lay shining in the mud nearby. Every soldier must wear one of these identification disks.
I picked this one up expecting to find some German name on it, but to my surprise I found the inscription, "Henry Pictc. Chicago. 147 Re."
I handed it over to my companion.
Immediately his face showed deep emotion.
"We thought he had been captured by the Germans," he said. "He was one of our bravest men. He came back from the United States at the beginning of the war to fight for his native country. He has been on the missing side in recent years. October. I must take this identification disc to his company commander."
A little later I saw a detail going toward this spot with shavings and a powder.
BOCHE SHELLS CEMENT.
During my stay at the front I had occasion to visit a small cemetery about a mile back of the lines. In this hallowed spot—and there are many such places along the front—the graves of Alqamis. Their graves, of course, were all pointing toward Mecca. Instead of the cross they had for a headstone the crescent. Not far away were a few mounds that I was told the graves of Protestant soldiers.
The graves that interested me most, however, were over in another corner of the cemetery. These were graves of the Chasseurs--those towm whose Boche call "the Blue Devils of France" because the Canadians of the French army.
A week before I came to this sector the Chasseurs had placed around the graves of their fellow soldiers a small wood fence, and at each grave erected a large wooden cross bearing the tricolor and a wreath of flowers. The graves were kept, and at the head of each was the fallen hero's helmet.
Two days later I passed this spot and, to my surprise, found that the little wooden fences had been demol-

The major invited me to go with him to inspect a company that was in the reserve. When we arrived at the company headquarters we found it engaged in gas drill, the captain conducting the drill without going through it himself. The major noticed this and said to his orderly, "Let me take your gas mask." The major had forgotten his. Orders forbid a soldier to ever give his gas mask to another, and the orderly hesitated to hand the mask over. The major noticed the

Here was a typical example of the Boche at his work—destroying graves that are of no military value—destroying them because it is his idea of making war.
I gazed at the mass of wreckage in horror. Finally the guide said, "Yesterday the Boche fired about a dozen shells into this place because we had placed the little fences around the graves."

soldier's hesitation and said, "I order you to give me my mask, so now you can't refuse me." The orderly started to protest, but the major waved him aside, took the mask and started for the captain who was busily engaged in the gas drill.
When the major arrived before the company he said, "Captain, where is your gas mask?"
"I forgot it, sir," said the Captain.
"I forgot it, sir," said the Captain. "Here, take mine then, and let me see if you know the precribed drill," she said. The captain his borrowed gas mask.
It should be explained that orders forbid anything to be carried in the gas mask, but the soldiers carry numerous articles in the masks because they are waterproof.
The captain started through the drill and got as far as adjusting the chin in the face piece. He struggled in vain. At last he stopped, and reaching into the mask, drew forth a pair of socks and a package of cigarettes, which he laid carefully on the ground and went on with the drill. After the drill he placed the articles back in their original position and handed the mask back to the major without comment. The major handed the mask back to its owner also without comment.
NIGHT PATROL. MOST DANGEROUS Of all the duties a modern soldier has to perform, the one that calls for the great bravery is that of night patrol. In great actions where men fight shoulder to shoulder, men receive a mutual stimulus from one another. Each man becomes his neighbor's support; all are hounded up by the enemy, and every man is as brave as the bravest. In such actions the danger lies only in one direction, and the soldier has time to prepare—to muster all his courage for the shock.
But for the little patrol creeping out into No Man's Land, among the wreckage of battle and the mummified bodies of the dead, all this is lacking. Here danger lurks in every direction, and death may come from any shell hole. Advancing over a ground stwn with bodies, a man faces in the shadow of every one of his wolves or kill will lay him cold among them. Under such conditions a man must rely on his own nerve. Yet men go out on such patrols every night, and even volunteer for the service.
AVIATORS REAL HEROES
The most thrilling sight that one sees at the front is the aeroplanes. Shells whining overhead, shrapnel rattting about the dugouts, and machine guns sputtering from both sides become commonplace to the old trench soldier, but an aeroplane sailing overhead never fails to hold the attention of all. When an aeroplane crosses, circles and recrosses, the enemy's lines while the air all about it is sweaked with the black puffs of exploding shrapnel, which if it hit the machine would send it heading to the earth, the spectator realizes that, after all, the aviators are the real heroes of the war.
It is a thrilling sight to see a famous French aviator emerge from behind a large fleecy cloud and go swooping down, firing a machine gun on the enemy trenches. The fliers often come to within a hundred feet of the ground, fly up an enemy trench riddling it with bullets, and finally soar upward again among a perfect hall of shrapnel and bullets.
This letter is rather disjointed, for it has been written at odd times. As I finish it I have just come from a last trip up through the lines. It is a fine American night outside with a waning moon sinking toward America. I think that about the only thing here that does not bear the scar of war is the quiet beauty of the stars and moon.
The only glorious thing that I have found so far in the trenches is the hearts of the men. They are a group of tired men—men who can never again take up the work they left to fight for the glory of France, but in every man's face one reads the words, "CARRY ON."

Liberty Bond Canvass Will Include Faculty
University Employees and Organizations on Hill Will be Solicited
A personal canvas will be made among the faculty and employees of the University for boosting the third liberty loan but no direct solicitation will be made from the students, according to Prof. U. G. Mitchell.
An urgent invitation to invest in this issue of bonds will be sent to all organizations on the hill, and it is hoped that many of these will come forward for certification will be held and there will be no convoitation for the matter.
Mr. Mitchell said the students had been urged to invest in Baby Bonds and thrift stamps, and he thought the majority would not be able to buy the regular bonds. Because of the lack of blanks no work can be done before the last of the week.
No definite amount of bonds has been assigned to the University as its share. The amount that was assigned to Douglas County is $400,000. More definite plans as to methods and amounts will be available the last of the week.

Lieut. Charles Seward of U.S. Aviation Corps Is Killed in France
K. U. Athlete Sailed for Europe About a Month Ago
Ago
Repulsing a German Raid
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 11, 1918.
Withdrew From School Last May to Enter Ft. Riley
Camp
A message telling of the death of Lieut. Charles D. Seward, the first K. U. aviator to be killed in action overseas was received by the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity this morning from the parents of Lieutenant Seward at Neodesha. "Buck" Seward was one of the best known athletes that the University has produced and has been in France only with a philomath. His callaght to his parents stated that he had been killed in repulsing a German air raid but did not tell where the raid took place.
Seward was well known in Missouri Valley athletics and was known especially as a hurdler. He tied the record of Bob Simpson for the low hurdles in Convention Hall in Kansas City at one time and had an enviable record in other athletics. He was a sophomore in the School of Engineering last year and withdrew from the University in May to enter the officers' training camp at Fort Riley.
After staying at Fort Riley about six weeks he went to Toronto, Canada, where he took training with the Royal Flying Corps and won the commission of second lieutenant. In November he fell about five hundred feet in his machine and broke two ribs and suffered two injuries from the effects of his fall-he was granted leave of absence and visited at the University, at the time of the Nebraska football game Thanksgiving.
Pi Lambda Theta Will Initiate Eight Pledges
"Buck" Seward was one of the few aviators who return to the flying game after falling but he announced that flying was the best of sport, and that he expected to keep it up. After his fall and recurred injury, Tempel and surrounded training and was soon afterwards granted a first lieutenant's commission.
A card announcing that he had arrived safely over there was received by the fraternity about a month ago. Lieutenant Seward first landed in England and it is supposed later was sent to France. A peculiar circumstance of his voyage was that he sailed in the 'same ship with Harry Boerster of Chanute who was killed in an air raid nigre Paris a few weeks ago and whose wife is a student in the University.
Pi Lambda Theta, honorary educational sorority, will hold initiation in the Congregational Church at 5 o'clock today for the following pledges: Ora Webb, Evelyn Whitcher, Wealthy Babcock, Evelyn Rorbaugh, Frances Hitchcock, and Edith McBratney.
Mrs. Aaxon of Kansas City, Mo. a national corresponding secretary, will be the guest of the sorority. The initiation will be followed by a banquet.
Word has been received from Lieutenant Colonel Ransen of the Ordnance Department, commanding officer of the Rock Island Arsenal, located at Rock Island, Illinois, stating that a number of application blanks were being sent to the School of Engineering here. These are to be filled out by men desiring work in the Arsenal during the summer. These blanks will be available at Fowler Shops within a short time, where information regarding the work may be secured.

The campus about Marvin Hall is one of the first sections of the hill to be affected by a new spring beautification drive by the University land-gardener. Signs asking students to keep off the grass and not cut the campus on their way to Marvin Hall have been put up on the much worn paths used heretofore by the engineers.

Lowell Whitla Learns To Drive Army Tanks
A letter was received several days ago from Lowell R. Whitla, University engineer who enlisted in Company M when it was organized here, in which he said that he is now attending a school at the Rock Island, Ill., Arsenal, receiving instructions in driving "tanks."
Mr. Whitla was one of three men in the 35th Division to pass an examination on mechanical work and qualify for the training in the Motor Instruction School. He gives credit to Captain Jones and his previous training here at the University for his success. He writes that Captain Jones is just a big "baddy" to all of Company M, and expressed his regret when he was transferred from this company.

FIGHTING NEAR ARMENTIENES
The enemy has driven deep salents on each side of Armentienes which seem to indicate the evacuation by the British shores and 100 guns taken in this action. The French artillery are busy on the front north of Montidier, but the heaviest fighting is in the line between Ypres and La Bassée. The British line has been bent but not broken. The apparent purpose of the Germans is to break through to the channel ports of Calais and Boulogne.
The casualty list for April 9, made public last night, included 283 names. Of these, five men were killed in action.
It has been officially announced that United States infantrymen have arrived as reinforcements in the fighting line of the British front.
Secretary Daniels announced last night that 1275 vessels have been added to the United States Navy in the last year. He stated that the supreme need of the hour is for ships to carry out their tasks that all efforts are being made to increase the merchant marine.
GENERAL FOCH
In a brief character sketch of General Foch, "hero of the Marne, the Yser, and the Somme" and now in command of the Allied forces, a writer in Leslles says, "I have heard Foch referred to as the kaiser kind. He believes in sacrifice but not war." But General Foch does not believe in sacrificing his own men. He sacrifices the Germans."
"It will be just the thing for your children," he urged. "If you haven't any children, it will come in handy for your grand-children."—Trench and Camp.
One of the sergeants was boosting Government Insurance the other day. He was urging every soldier, no matter how he was "fixed" to sign up for a policy.
One timid voice was raised in the Reichstag on behalf of the Armenians now falling into Turkish hands throughout the reconquered districts of Asia Minor. Amidst the glorious debate on world politics, during the course of which Europe was remapped nearer to the Prussian military camp in Vienna, the German people heard the anguished sound of women's wailing and children's cries and the groans of tortured old men—The Nation.
A British soldier, according to "Punch," wrote home as follows: "I am sorry I cannot tell you where I am, because I am not allowed to say. But I venture to state that I am not where I was, but where I was before I left here to go where I have just come from."

College Women Asked To Sign Registration Cards For War Service
Woman's Committee of National Council of Defense Carrying on Work
Estimating the Resource
Want to Know Kind of Work In Which Women Are Trained
Trained
Registration cards sent by the Woman's Committee of the National Council of Defense were given, to every University woman at the food conservation lecture Wednesday. Although many college women registered last summer the committee finds that some failed to do so. It wants a census of college women and their capabilities for service.
"Every woman should sign one of these cards," Miss Margaret Lynn, director of war work for women, said today, "whether she is ready to go into service immediately, or not. The committee is trying to make an estimate, through this means, of the resources of the country.
"If the war goes on, a better organization of the woman labor of the country will be necessary. The Council of National Defense wants to know where to find women fitted for different forms of service.
"Restitution does not mean that a woman will be drafted for service. It is not compulsory. But college women are urged to fill out the cards for whatever work they can do well. If they have special training in any line this should be indicated. If she is able to use a typewriter, the fact she should be mentioned. Business college training isn't necessary."
Many cards were turned in Wednesday. Others are to be left at the department of English office as soon as possible.

Fowler Shop Sends Out Machine to Navy Yard
Since the great call for different kinds of machinery used in the manufacture of war materials has gone out, Fowler Shops has responded by selling a Lucas Percision Boring Mill, to the Navy Yards on the coast of Maine.
This machine, which weighs five tons, was shipped to its destination at a cost of $176. The machine sold for $150 more than was paid for it in 1911, having been in use five years. This machine is to be replaced by other machines.
Plain Tales From The Hill
RED
The Kansan, poor struggling sheet,
The seldom ever read
Until the Kansan Board grew wise
And placed a Genius at its head.
II
The Genius, full of strategy,
Purchased barrels of crimson ink;
And the fools printed the sheet with it,
Just to please the gink.
III
And behold you, when the thing came
—Anon.
And its good news did spread,
It was as this pome is now,
The blame thing—it was read.
Prof. E. Haworth, department of geology, said in class the other day after he had made an effort to get a young lady to answer "yes" to a question asked of her, that "it is mighty hard to get a young lady to say 'yes' now days." You would hardly think so from the numerous pins that are being put out.
"There is a mouse," exclaimed one of the girls, at senior play practice.
"Gee, I'm glad I am nearsighted," the girl beside her said, "I am scared to death of mice!"
First Law: "Hey, Jack. How are you feeling this morning?" Second Law: "Feel like I wanted to fight."
Professor Moore* in Elementary Law, "Now do you think that you could make a suit 'stick' against this glue factory?"
First Law: "See Uncle Sam. He's got a job for you."
At least one subscriber to the Kansan values his edition very highly. One paper was lying in a restaurant the other day, and across the top was stamped, "In five days return to Lee's College Inn."
No longer will the bilthesema mids who live on the east side of the Hill cut through the Sigma Chi's back yard in the rush to make an 8 o'clock class. For the spirit of conservation has struck the Sigma Chi's and four cows now graze in the said back yard. And in effectually barring the path across the lot to K. U. she students iron gates and bars have nothing on four cows.
University students never have dances any more. They are all Kicks or Hops or Jazzes. A few suggestions for promoters of such affairs: Student Swag, Graduate Grunt, Faculty Fizz, Gym Jam. But don't under any conditions call them dances!
The street car had just pulled out for the Hill, when a freshman on the car, in a hurry to make an 8 o'clock class, realized that instead of a small blue cap, he had on his head a hat, which undoubtedly would not pass inspection when he passed the Law Building. Believing in preparedness, however, he had an extra freshman cap in his pocket, but the question now came up as to what he was to do with his hat. He knew that to carry it in his hand would be as risky as wearing it, so he hung up a fraternity brother of his, who took pity on him and saved his life by wearing the fatal hat and carrying his own in his pocket.
A freshman having missed his dinner entered a Lawrence restaurant and sat down at a table. The waiter promptly handed him the menu card and he studied it preparatory to ordering. Suddenly, something seemed to alarm him and he arose and left abruptly. The next day he told a friend that he would not be caught there again. "It must be a gamblers joint," he said, "they sell diced pork tenderloin."

Eat Fruits And Vegetables
This is Advice Mrs. Teetor Gave In Food Conservation Lecture Wednesday
"Nutritive Requirements of the Body" was the subject of the food lecture given by Mrs. Paul Teetor Wednesday afternoon.
This was the conclusion of the previous lecture and took up only part of the hour. During the first part of the hour Mrs. Tector discussed the general lack in the diets of the students of fruits and fresh vegetables, of such foods are needed." she said, "because of the iron in them."
The remainder of the hour was given to a short discussion of "The Present Need for Conservation of Sugars."
E. V. McColum, a K. U. graduate,

The annual bulletin of the oil and gas resources of Kansas is now ready for distribution by the department of geology at the University. The facts of the book were compiled by Prof. Raymond C. Moore, state geologist and Prof. Winthrop P. Haynes, formerly of the department but now in the government service. The division of state chemical research co-operated with the department in making the survey.
Oil and Gas Bulletin Is Now Being Issued
The bulletin contains many maps of oil and gas districts of the state and gives relief maps of the rocks found in these regions. The bulletin also lists the geologic conditions wells and machinery used in drilling for the gas and oil of the state.
Erasmus Haworth, dean of the department, wrote the chapter on the historical outline of the oil and gas industry in Kansas. One part of the book deals with the strata of rock in which oil is found. Another chapter gives a discussion, by counties, of the production of gas and oil.

LEST OLD TRADITIONS FAIL
THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1918.
The old-time tradition of Freshman Caps stands subject to the whim of fate. At least one-third of the freshman class are disregarding the ruling which has been adhered to strictly in years gone by.
It is a useless and frivolous custom—this wearing of freshman caps. But it is a University tradition, and furthermore, an historic one. The University Freshman is in his apprenticeship. He is making his first grapple with higher education; and it is in that first thrilling year when he decides either to drop out in the race or strive on—and WIN.
The cap is his symbol of apprenticeship. One seen on the Hill in the spring has a deep significance. It shows that the freshman is "still there"—he hasn't flunked out—he is destined to become one of the upper classmen. To him it is the step to a higher plane of learning. Without it he cannot distinguish members of his own class. Without it K U. cannot know when to forgive for the sake of youth and unfamiliarity. Nevertheless the apprentice refuses to wear his honored badge and assumes premature status that enlarges the cranium and makes for collisions otherwise easily avoided. The freshman's respect for the University and for the feeling of class unity demands the observance of proper apprenticeship symbols.
Lest old tradition shall have no more reverence—lest the real original intentions of it be forgotten—and in the passing a new train of evil seep in—CLAMP THAT CAP ON THE FRESHMAN'S FROWARD BROW,—even if you have to have an elastic band around his chin and a bib to catch the drool of his impotent baby-rage!
The annual spring move of Nicholas Romanoff, the former czar, will begin this week according to an announcement in the Petrograd papers. The former czar moves, not for his own, but for his guards convenience.
A RADICAL CHANGE
A notable event in the publishing and reading world occurred when the March issue of Munsey's Magazine appeared in a double number, profusely illustrated and doubled in price. The event was interesting for three reasons: it marked the beginning, or rather the intensifying, of competition between a representative of the standard size magazine and the new and just now,. more popular "Rats" (magazines of enlarged size as the new Cosmopolitan and the new McClures); it marked the change from a policy of no pictures to the opposite extreme, a change caused by popular demand; and it marked
the passing of the last of the large ten-cent popular magazines of several years ago.
Munsey's Magazine, since its first issue in October, 1891, has been in many ways a pioneer in magazine progress and publishing methods. Until May of last year it was an illustrated magazine of fiction and special articles. At that time is discontinued the use of illustrations, slightly increased the number of pages to the issue and began making editorial comment and printing serious discussions on questions of interest. The editorial department was well received by the reading public and the circulation did not suffer. It was noted by the publishers, however, that the public kept up an increasing demand for illustrations.
In the March issue the publishers acceded to this demand and went so far as to publish over a hundred pages of pictures while still retainign the usual amount of reading matter. The March issue contained sixteen special articles and features bearing on the war, four other special articles, departments for editorials, poetry, and the stage, as well as the usual serial and short story fiction—all told 264 pages of reading matter.
At the same time it was announced that Munsey's Magazine would continue to be of standard size because it was the publisher's belief that this size would better please readers, although perhaps not at first the advertisers.
If the first issues of the new Munsey's are to be taken as a criterion, the public will be pleased with the change and will pay the increase in price willingly. Magazine buying with the American public, the greatest magazine buying public in the world, has become more a matter of personal taste than of bargain hunting. If the new Munsey's pleases the public, the twenty-cent price will not hurt its circulation. For Munsey taste has always been consistently good taste, and when public taste and good taste coincide —there's a future for that magazine which brings about this most desirable literary result today.

I have heard of a lotion to remove warts and freckles permanently. I do not remember the exact name of the composition but think it was called *Treatment for Freckles* and freckles, and is that the correct name of the lotion? -G. C. L.
If there is an usher to get in the way, let her go first. It may avoid trouble should you go first and step on his heels. Also, it gives the appearance that she is leading you to church and therefore effecting a work of reformation. If there is no usher, you go first, if she wants you to. If she wants to go first, humor her. Church is no place to start a fuss.
Yes, it would remove warts and freckles, but it would likely damage the complexion, too. Have never known it to be used as a freckle and wart lotion. It is used chiefly by arillerymen.
In all events, keep cool—leave it to er and the usher, and don't forget to make those two words "lady" and "gentleman" out for exercise every day.

CAMPUS OPINION
THE INSIDE OF THE CITY.
Much has been written in the columns of the Kansan during the past week in regard to the freshman caps. The articles written are brief and with a dige respect for their ideas and the privilege of expressing themselves on the front page, a freshman takes the privilege of stating his ideas or the inside page.
THE INSIDE OF THE CAP
The upperclassmen are continually advancing the argument that the freshman caps are a mark of distinction and that freshmen want to wear them. We grant without argument that they are a mark of distinction, and it is just this distinction, this making yourself conspicuous, that causes the freshmen to reject the cap. Do you remember a few years ago when you were a freshman, when you walked down Mass, and passed an elderly lady and her daughter and as you passed, you saw the girl nudge her mother, and you heard a hissing sound like,—"Freshman! Freshman!" Do you remember how you wished that you would express yourself in Dutch? Do you wish you wanted to wear the cap? Would have worn it of your own free will, had the idea not been instigated by the upperclassmen? Was it because you cherished the distinction of the cap or because you would rather have a suit of clothes spoiled by coming in contact with numerous pieces of lumber?
Again you would have us believe that the cap helps the freshman to get acquainted. We agree that the representative headear help us to distinguish a freshman from a sophomore until now most of the freshmen have not been so fortunate as to make the acquaintance of another fellow through the magnetism of his cap. What is good for Jack ought to be good for John. If the cap helps the freshman to get acquainted why do you not provide some similar way for the upper-classmen to get acquainted. We do not understand why you take such a strenuous interest in our getting acquainted, when you never concern yourselves with any other freshman affairs.
You do not mean that the cap helps freshmen to get acquainted with freshmen, but that the absence of the cap helps the upperclassman to get acquainted with the barbarian and lust for meat of the upperclassman. The upperclassman do not force us to wear the cap because they are in any way concerned in our welfare, but we must wear it to satisfy the revengeful spirit of the upstart. The cap does not promote a feeling of good fellowship. Indeed it is the constant cause of strife, hatred and ill feeling. To add insult to injury the upperclassman say that the freshmen want to wear the cap. This is a gross misrepresentation.
As the freshmen are now intelligent enough to dispense with the God-father services of the upper-classman, put it to a vote and let the freshmen express their own opinion. If you upperclassmen are not willing to be distinguished, if you do not care to get acquainted then why do you ask the freshmer to wear this humiliating headgear?

North College Timbers To Be Used in Making Boat For Use on Kaw
Brick and Stone Salvaged to go Into Construction of Farm Buildings
Timbers used in the construction of old North College, which is now being razed by Charles A. Colvin, a Lawrence contractor, will be used by Mr. Colvin in the construction of a large boat which will be used on the Kaw river.
Destruction of the old building has been under way for more than 60 days, and the contractor is expected to have the building down and the grounds cleared within a month. Stone and brick from the walls have been sold to two farmers living near Linden Heights, an expansion of farm buildings. Mr. Colvin bought the old building this winter for $100.
The walls of the building are still fairly solid except that on the south side of the building, which is in danger of falling. The roof and the floor of the attic or "fourth floor" have been removed, and a start has been made on the destruction of the walls.
The history of North College might be called, "The story of what a town did without money." With a fund of only $10,000 the people of Lawrence and vicinity laid the cornerstone of the present University of Kansas. The building was completed in the summer of 1866, and was first used Sept. 12 of the same year. From then until the completion of Fraser Hall in 1872, this was the home of the University of Kansas.
For a period of about ten years the building was occupied by some men students who kept it in repair. Then the state wanted a building for the state home for imbacable children. A few years later the School of Law outgrew its limited bounds and it was moved there. When the laws moved into their new home in Green Hall a part of the School of Fine Arts occupied the building until Nov. 16, 1916.
A great deal of interest is being manifested in the finding of the corner stone which will probably be uncovered in a few days.

Class Athletes Ready For Interclass Meet Friday on McCook
trope Indicates Sophomores for High Point Winners
The class athletes are ready for the spring interclass meet which is to be held Friday afternoon on McCook Field starting at 4 o'clock. The sophomores are expecting to win the meet because of the large number of athletes which they have on the regular Varsity team. They have Hann in the two mile along with Oglewie. In the mile there is Deewail. In the quarter there is Ralph Rodkey and Cleft. The dashes seem to be all in favor of the sophs, with Haddock running the 100-yard and 220-yard dash. In the half mile they have Davison to run against the juniors in the two mile and possibly the mile. Harold Hobart, regular Varsity hurdler, should have things much his own way except for the Bradley brothers in the hurdles.
The juniors are also strong in the quarter mile with Lobaugh and Russel both running in this event. Lobaugh is also a great man in the 100-yard dash and 220-yard dash. The junior class' has a dark horse in this event from a Kansas college who may place. Howard is certain of first in the pole vault for the juniors and should get some points in the high jump. He is also entered as a point winner in the broad jump.
The seniors are weak this spring as far as a class team is concerned. Rice is sure of first in the high jump and possibly some points in some weight events. Hunt is a good runner in the mile.
Haddock is also counted upon to bring in some points in the shot and discus. Liggett, another soph, is expected to win some points in these two events. The other classes are unknown in these events.
the juniors and the freshmen, especially the young frush squad is expected to spoil the plans of sophomores in several events. The yearlings have the two Bradley brothers to make the other athletes do their best in the dashes, the 440-yard, dash, high and broad jump, pole vault, hurdles and relay. They are a track team in themselves according to the way they showed in the high school meet here last year when they represented an Oklahoma high school. The remainder of the material is almost unknown on the fresh team.
For the juniors, Murphy is counted as a sure winner in the half mile and Wear may place in this event. In the mile McCall is a great runner and may take first from Deewall. Rex Brown is expected to do things, also.
The relay appears to be a toss up between the juniors and sophomores. The sophs have Rodkey, Haddock, Cleft, and Davison, while the juniors have Murphy, Russell, Lobaugh, McCall or Brown. It looks like an interesting meet. Gold medals will be awarded to first place winners; silver to second place winners; bronze to third and fourth places.
SPORT BEAMS

Frosh Lose To Varsity In Five-Inning Affair; Coach Picks Team
First Year Men Score Two Runs In Fourth When Schoeppel Weakness
The Varsity nine again downed the freshman team in a five inning practice contest on McCook field by a score of 5-3. The men of Coach Bond took the lead in the second inning with one run, and added three to their total in the third. The fresh scored two in the fourth and added their last in the fifth. The game was cleanly played and both teams did good work in the field and at bat.
Weakens
Schoeppel started pitching for the Varsity and worked four innings, but developed a sore arm in the fourth and Slawson finished the game. Bunn did good work behind the bat, besides cracking out a timely double in the third inning. The infield and outfield were shifted somewhat from yesterday, as Machamer was at first base. Bob Isemberger, who has not been out for some time, played second for Oyster when the opposing player appeared at short stop. Lonborg again played errorless ball at third base. Cherry started the game in right field but was soon shifted back to second base and Oyster took his place in the outer garden. Weltmer played left field and Smith was in center.
The Varsity scored first in the second innning when Lonborg walked and went around on a hit and an error. Three runs were scored in the third on a walk, an error and hits by Oyster and Bunn. The freshmen took advantage of Schoepel's temporary wildness in the fourth and loaded the bases on a hit and two walks. Two balls were returned, and pitcher settled down and struck out Murphy. The frisshot scored their last run in the fifth on a trio of hits.
Coach Bond picked the men who are to compose the Varsity squad, just before the workout. The men picked are: Catchers—Bunn, Cooper and Kitchen; pitchers—Schoeppel, Caler, Goodwin and Slawson; first base—Ma

It has been announced that the W. A. A., will give a prize for the best student, but the nature of this prize is a mystery. However, there is no doubt about the music because the word "Shofstall" is sufficient.

The Little Theater in Green Hall was filled at the third of the series of popular plays given by the Dramatic Club last night. Two one-act English plays were given. "The Conspirators," a pleasing play of English country life, was marked by the excellent stage setting and lighting effect and by the vivid interpretation of the interesting plot. Karl Brown, Marie Ketels, Marie Buchanan, and Horace Chandler made up the cast.
"The Twelve Pound Look," was characterized by the intense acting of all of the three members of the cast. This play portrayed the shams of the artificial social life in England. Eva Robinson, Florence Butler, and Craig Kennedy took the three parts in their play. More of this series of popular plays will be given later in the year.

The War Here and Over There
HUNS REFULSED BY BRITISH The German greatest attack being driven against the British lines between Arras and Ypres has penetrated to a depth of six miles at a point south of Ypres. Vital points on the line including the great stronghold of Messines ridge are being held against terrific fighting by the Huns.
Counter attacks by the English forces have regained positions taken by the German forces. An attack on Hollebeke by the Germanic hordes failed. French armies also have stopped the enemy along the line in the Noyon sector.
American marines have landed at Vladivostok as well as British and Japanese forces. The Americans are in control of the docks while the Japanese are guarding the railway and ammunition depots. The Bolshevki has been defeated.
Leading Atlantic and Gulf steamship line will be unified Saturday under the control of the railroad administration.
The third Liberty Bond campaign in Kansas City is revealing many evidences of pro-German propaganda. Many have accused the cannasses of receiving 10 per cent on all their loan sales and have been accused of such persons are handed to the secret service department on yellow cards.
Cheyenne County, Kansas over-subscribed its bond quota in twenty minutes after the campaign opened.

How much do 3000 miles weigh?
The U. S. Food Administration
Bulletin answers the question as follows:
The Senate is still discussing the airplane program. The War Department seems to feel that that the controversy must reach a conclusion soon if the efficiency of the personnel now in charge is not to be impaired by the constant agitation.
WEIGHING MILES
"The fact is 3000 miles weigh 5000吨, 10,000 soldiers, or a few hundred graves in France. If ships are somewhere in the South Atlantic bringing wheat to us, they cannot be in the northern sea lanes taking soldiers to Europe. Moreover, for every ship on the long haul to Argentina two are taken out from the shorter haul to France. Every ton of wheat added to our store by transport from South America means double its life-giving value lost to the allies in Europe. Of course we must all have our bread, but before we cut that extra and unnecessary slice we should be careful to figure out its cost."

Four More Students Go to Flying Camps
Four more University students have received calls to report for training in aviation. Claire Dietrich, c'20, Linden Anderson, c'18, and Everett Klefer, c'20, have been ordered to report at Kelley field, Austin, Texas, while Ogden Jones, c'18, was sent to the aviation school of the University of California at Berkley, California. Everett Kleifer left last night for an aviation camp at San Antonio, Texas.
General Barry, the commanding officer at Camp Grant made the Nevin idea part of the camp's program almost as soon as it was proposed to him, and generals at other big camps have been impressing men like Professor Nevin into the military musical services for their own men. A part of the Nevin program at Camp Grant indicates the amount of time given to it. Regularly on Tuesdays and Thursdays Professor Nevin was leader of the assembled regimental bands. At 3 p. m. Tuesdays he gave the 2,500 officers special instruction to be leaders in singing when the men go into action "over there."
FIFTY DOLLAR BONUS POPULAR
The bonds are for various amounts, fifty dollars being the lowest and $100,000 the highest. The first three sizes, which are expected to be best suited to the buying power of the University men and women, are for fifty dollars, $100 and $600. If paid in full the bonds probably will be delivered May 9.
Then the men got their chance.
Every day at I 'o'clock Music Office
The man who is getting the boys of 1918 to sing the war songs of 1918, the kind of songs that both North and South had in 1861 for the same sort of music, is in Lawrence today. He is Arthur Nevin, formerly professor of Community Music at the University of Kansas, and as such he organized chorus all over the university. This special duties at the University. Just now he is on sick leave and the guest of Dean D. L. Patterson.
Professor Nevin is the originator of chorus singing as a military order of the day, night and all the time, as a reinforcement to duty, and the more arduous the duty the stronger the spirit of martial music. He has come from Camp Grand Army with massed bands of half a thousand pieces have been singing under his direction.

winter and was one of the season's
successes. In Chicago he led the

Christmas tree. At this he had 500
children singing "Holy Night," a
chorus of 500 persons singing "Come,
All Ye Faithful," but as a climax
thrilled the city with the volume of
"Onward Christian Soldiers" from
20,000 of his soldier singers. It
was so cold that band instruments
froze up and the soldiers sang unaccompanied.

It was said that there wasn't a dry eye in the stands when "A Long, Long Trail" was carrying distinctly with full beauty of words and melody all over the great field. Another famous occasion was the singing of 38,000 men at Camp Grant upon the visit of Governor Linden and Senator Lewis of Illinois.
The University is represented in the list of men who have passed the physical examination for Douglas County's quota in the first increment of the second draft, by four men. Winthrop P. Haynes, assistant professor of mineralogy, already in the service of college last year; Herbert R. Laslett, c'18; Glen G. Coons, c-ed'18, are the K. U. men in the quota.
The county's quota is twenty-nine. The men are qualified for service unless the examination board exempts them for other reasons than physical disability.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Two University students are alarmed over Dean L. E. Sayre's plan to use coffee grounds as wheat substitute in cookies. One comes from a home where little coffee is used, and he fears the cookie jar will always be empty for lack of materials to make its contents. The other comes from a home where coffee grounds will never fears the 25 per cent of grounds will be increased at his house in order to use up the excessive substitute, and his cookies will become all grounds.
"I'm doing a lot of drawing," sighed a certain fine arts student, as he mounted the steps of Watkins Bank.
The Government is promptly responsive to K. U. needs. Freshmen have to wear their caps the rest of the school year. Some do not, however, and need corrective treatment. The Government heard of this, and, for the benefit of the University, upperclassmen abolished meatless days this month.
Professor Dykstra recently found some trouble in an American Government class in getting a satisfactory definition from the class for internal revenue. Finally he asked, "If a fellow swallowed a coin, would that be internal revenue?"
Francis Fuhr has realized more than once that his name is one that may be easily interpreted as Miss Frances Fuhr. Every time that women's styles change he is besieged with catalogs and advertisements for the latest designs for party dresses, picture hats and Hoffman suits. The latest jolt came this week when he received a letter from a Presbyterian sorority asking the honor of pledging him.
We are not sure whether the statement that Joe R. Mahan, e19, has large feet, is true—but the following story may give a little light on the subject. Mahan was returning to Lawrence by "pullman" recently, and before retiring for the evening left his shoes beside his suit case so that the porter would shine them during the night. On the following morning, it to his surprise worked up, and his surprise found that the porter had shined one shoe and his suit case. porter had shined one shoe and his suit case.
He met two girls from Smith College during a visit in Central Kansas during Easter vacation. They were to go through Lawrence on the Union Pacific one afternoon recently and then went down to the train for one last word.
As he crossed the bridge he heard the train whistle. At the same time a rumbling farm wagon clattered along in his direction, driven by a oarwhal man. Rather than be red snubbies from running he hopped aboard.
The train pulled in. He approached in the grandeur of the wagon. The two damsels appeared on the steps of the Pullman. The wagon went over a bump, and he fell head first into a clothesbasket in the bottom with all the ease and grace of a cow on crutches.

K. U.'s War Historian Asks For Pictures and Data For His Records
Beginning Already Made With Photographs of Activities On the Campus
Full Story to Be Written
Stories of Friend and Camp; And Lectures and Women's Classes to be Told
An appeal to University of Kansas students and instructors to save and turn in photographs of K. U.'s war activities was made today by Poof. M. W. Sterling, official war historian for the University. Two copies of each photograph are asked, one for the University's record and one to be sent to the War Department, in accordance with its request.
The photographs sent to the War Department are to become a part of the photographic history of the world war, or at least the best ones are. But Professor Sterling wants the photographs, snapshots, large pictures or small ones, of any sort of war activity being done by b University of Kansas men to become a part of the University's part in the war in pictures.
A history of the University's relation to the war is to be written by Presentation Sterling, but he is planning to make it largely a photographic story.
JAYHAWKER OFFERS PLATES
Pictures of classes in conservation of food, in food laboratories, of the drill units at the University, of K. U. men in camp and in cantonment, of women's surgical dressing classes, and of the cows-grazing-on-the-campus plan of last year, have already been obtained, but many others of a similar sort are needed. The Jayhawker this year has consented to allow the plates of any war activity at the University to be printed in the history of the University in the War when it comes out.
A photograph of the K. U. regiment at war practice with the dummies on the University campus has been suggested as an example of the sort of war pictures that are wanted. Snapshotss of K. U. men in camp or at drill in Oklahoma or any other camp are other sorts that are needed. The reading matter of the proposed book is to tell of the men in the service, of the part the students took in contributing to war funds and company funds of the national guard units before they left for southern training camps. The war lecturers who have come to K. U. are also to have a part in the book. The action of the University in allowing men full credit when they enlisted in the military service is also to be described.
Prof. S. O. Rice, of the University public bureau, is to help Professor Sterling in obtaining knowledge of Kansers in world-war. Professors in war courses at the University have been asked to send in facts concerning their course and what has been accomplished in them.
Students' Annual Cavil Almost Goes by Board
Professor Sterling is a member of the department of ancient languages, and was selected by the chancellor as historian probably because of his quarter-centennial history of K. U., written in 1891.
PUBLICITY BUREAU TO AID
At almost the last, too-late minute, it was ascertained at the Chancellor's office today that the students of the University of Kansas have this year put off their one grand chance at unrestricted public free speech.
No petition has been filed either with the Chancellor or with Dean D. L. Patterson for the customary annual student convocation in which representatives of all the schools-, college, law, engineering, medicine, fine arts, and graduate-, make speeches voicing the opinions of their constituent members of the local council. The faculty always has followed a rule of strictly hands off, though not ears off, at this occasion of unbridled privilege.
The officials in Fraser Hall are counting the minutes until the very last chance for undergraduate backfiring in 1918 has been passed.

MARCHING ON
He never would have made a learned honorary society. He might have had to chew hard on many printed pages to maintain eligibility long enough to get a long deserved letter in athletics. But the School of Engineering intended to graduate him a real engineer in 1919 and Coach Olcott said he was the finest type of American football player he ever saw.
And now Buck Seward that K. U.
knew so well and loved so much,
Lieut. Charles Seward that the army
of his country saluted...has joined
the hosts that forevermore are
marching on. He gave his smiling
youth, his strength of body, and
mind, and will, and character to the
greatest cause of the world today.
He did not fear. He did not hate.
He simply gave all that was in him
to be given.
The old University will remember him. For he is living still, just as are her other sons whose names have gone on the Honor Roll, just as all sons in the Army of the Royal are living on. Their eyes have seen the glory. Verily their souls are marching on!
THE THING—NOT THE MAN
ing of your votes to make them count,
you folks of ours who are carrying
the responsibility of governing us all
well, the responsibility this University is making us ready for, this is
just to let you know that we are
thinking of you and what you are
doing that is good. This is just to let
you know that we are conscious of
what we have got to do some day and
want to do right. This is what we
want you to expect of us when we
come home to you to take the place
of work and duty and obligation to
the community you will assign us and
would or in
And this is what we are thinking this is what we are hoping. Let the influence of the electorate, its solid majority support in the coming elections be for the thing to be attained—and not stop with man or party The national parties should have little or nothing to do with local government; they have nothing to do with the real final solution of local problems and the actual fulfilment of local needs. That is, they don't all parties. You know they don't.
Quite incidentally a man of one party or another, or one man or another regardless of many a personal peculiarity—produces the realization of a community end, gets something done. The fact that a man is a Republican or a Democrat neither qualifies him nor disqualifies him for holding local office. Nor does the fact that he is a hale fellow well met and a "friend" of yours in itself
qualify him for office. All this is by the way and might be true, but it is the thing he stands for, the thing he will convincingly pledge himself to do, the specific projects he will and can initiate and work for and accomplish, this is his one big, exclusive qualification for local office. It overshadows all else that might be just contributory to any candidacy. It is genuine.
Elections are no longer regarded as chances to hand rewards to old "friends.' They are in spite of political machines which exist as a burden on the community and which exact cost of upkeep indirectly from the community. Their indirect way is expensive too—payments of political debts coming too often in appointments of good party-workers but inefficient office-holders. Election now is something altogether different.
Elections are opportunities for an intelligent, alert electorate to support and with its first and last power of free citizenship fight for the things for the best electors of a given community, county, state—and at stated times for national issues. Work for the thing; let the man be the incidental means to the end; and let the party lines up go hang.

THE GUN OF GOBAIN
The gun in the forest of Gobain speaks eloquently of Germany. Its voice is Germany's voice. Its works are Germany's works.
Each time the gun in the forest speaks it carries Germany's message to all the world. It is a super-gun. It is the highest development, in terms of man-killing machinery, of Germany's patient years of specialization. It is a gun of seemingly impossible power. Germany is a nation drilled and specialized to a point of seemingly impossible military power
The shells that the forest gun hurls into Paris are thrown so high that they pass beyond the atmosphere of the earth. There has been war in the clouds, war in the air high above the clouds; but never before has war reached above the air. Such a gun rather aptly expresses German ambition.
Most distinctly the gun of Gobain expresses German malignity. Shells burled seventy-six miles into a defenseless city do not advance the German cause in the war. They destroy a few buildings, kill a few non-combatants. But by any practical standard they must be measured as useless. They are utterly devoid of military value as the bombs dropped by Zeppeliners and airplanes on the open towns of France and England. Ingenuity, malignity and childishness are the German traits illuminated by the Gobain cannon. It bespeaks the ingenuity of a studious people that has concentrated its brain power on working evil; it bespeaks the heartless cruelty of a nation inspired by a fury of hate against all the rest of the world; it bespeaks the childishness of a race that delights in such a ghastly and costly toy.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Few Words With Him
The Philologist
"So you know a man named 'Palefrey,'" said the Philologist. "That is no more remarkable than 'Colt' or 'Ross,' which also means 'horse,' and much less so than 'Oliphant,' which means 'elephant.'

"Oh no, the origin of family names is usually not obscure. In fact names are very simple. When communities were small, there would be only one Peter in town, and he needed no further distinctive appellation. When at length a second Peter did appear and it was necessary to tell them apart, each would get an extra name. These were derived in one of four ways:
"First: He could be distinguished by his father's name. The son of William would be called Williamson, Wilson, Wills, Wills, Billson, or Ellis.
"Second: He could be distinguished by his trade and be: Peter Baker, Potter, Weaver, Carter, etc.
"Third: He could be distinguished by his home, either the place where he lived; Wood, Hill, Dale, Ford, Longstreet, etc.; or by something on his place such as: Whitehouse, Stone, Elms, Snooks (meaning "Seven) or by his native town or country; London, Ireland, French, English, etc.
Those are your four classes," the Philologist checked them off with an inky fore-finger: "Patronymics, Trade, Place, and Nicknames.

PEDAGOGUE
(Exurgated)
By R. A. Smith
Come my dears, and seek to learn
A lesson of pure delight
Concerning one unholly prof.
You ought to know on sight.
Jon my chamber portal
he midnight came a*call*
answered—twas an angel
Who watches over all.
"Of all the people on the earth
This man I loved the least"
— Thus the soothing message ran
And raised my hope like yeast.
"The teacher, reacher, dunkorook
Last night did cross the shore"—
And then I looked again and hoped
My guest would speak some more.
But the shining image there grew silent.
"Upon the throne you say he sits?" Again I sought to ast— "Oh, yes, he's leader there— And he has put me last!"
And to my sad demand Answered that the man I hated Was safe in the Holy Land.
"Must be a mistake in judgment I replied with questioning look; "No chance," declared the angel as he showed his clean, pure book.
He locked the gates with iron,
But that prof. he used a file;
He bound the bum with fetters—
That made the old cusm smile.
Concerning his arrival
The angel told me more—
How he tried to bar the scalawag
From heaven's golden shore.
As he left my chamber door
That the prof. sure cleaned things up
Along the heavenly shore.
Judge—"Did you hit this man in the excess of irasibility?"
And the angel said with trembling voice
By the way, doesn't it say something in the Bible about "a dinner of Herb's?"—Ladies Home Journal.
Colored Man—"No, suh. I done hit him in de jaw." —Awgwan.

Crystal Gazing Popular Among Primitive Peoples
Thayer Collection Contains Many Valuable Crystals Used by Ancient Tribes
Are you a believer in superstitions or crystal gazing? If so you will have an opportunity to satisfy your curiosity by viewing part of the Thayer collection in the Administration Building. The largest crystal in this collection is of Japanese design, and according to W. A. Griffith, professor of drawing and painting, the crystal alone, which is made of rock crystal, is valued at $40. The base on which it rests is made of glass. The other crystals are made of a dark crystal, which Prof. Griffith described as smoky tonzac.
In using the crystal the seer really throws himself into a state of self-hypnotism and while in this state claims to see the picture of the thing which he is trying to discover, projected at the bottom of the crystal. Crystal gazing was common among practically all of the ancient peoples, even Greeks and Romans. The custom is still practised today among some of the less civilized nations. In western Australia the scryer or seer uses the flame of the burial fire in which to cast the images. In New Zealand the more civilized Mairi use a drop of blood for the crystal. Even the Indians of North America were accustomed to use this device to the fate of their war parties or other things in which they were interested. One of the commonest beliefs was that if a sick Indian would gaze into a pool of water he would see reflected there the various things which would cure him. The Apaches and Pawnees both believed in the crystal gazing. In Yucatan the main instrument for the gazer is a quartz crystal before which is burned gum opal as an incense and magic formulas are recited to cast a spell over the spirits. The modern psychologists, as a rule, however, put no faith in the powers of the crystal to reveal the past, present or future affairs, though may remarkable experiments have been performed.

Dinner Will Replace Medals This Year as Prizes at Track Meet
Sharpest of Contest Expected To Be Between Sophomores and Juniors
Instead of the usual medals for the winners of the first four places in the annual spring Interclass Track Meet, which is being held this afternoon on McCook Field, a big dinner will probably be given the winners. Whether invitation to this dinner shall be given only to the first and second place men, or shall be extended to third place men or four place men will be decided by the trackmen themselves before the meet starts.
It is probable that only the first three place men will get their invitation to the dinner, which probably will be held Monday night. Coach Hamilton is carrying out the request of the Missouri Valley Conference officials in not awarding tickets to anyone in Kansas City last December it was voted not to give medals in any athletic contests in the Missouri Valley Conference this year.
Both the freshmen and seniors are going into the meet this afternoon depending on one of two men to bring them enough points to win. The two Bradley brothers are the ones counted on by the fresh track man and Rice and Hunt are the big men of the senior aggregation.
But track fans really look to the juniors and sophomores to fight it out for first place. Both teams have men of ability entered in every event, although the second year men probably have the largest number of actual Varsity athletes in the meet. They will have more men entered in each event than the juniors from the present outlook.

Spider Webs Stop Recording of Quakes
The inofficative, peaceful spider has had a weighty influence in the history of human events. It was a spider that saved Scotland in causing the re inspired Robert Bruce to return again to the battlefield. And it was another spider that deprived Little Miss Muffet of a savory meal of curds and whey. Between these two boundaries of history, the significant and the insignificant, he has played a part far beyond his frail strength.
It remained for a K. U. Cephalothorax (that's his family name) to contribute a new episode to the annals of spiderdom by interfering with the study of earthquakes by a group of scientists. This particular member of the eight-legged trie selected Blake Hall as his home. Blake Hall is also the home of the seismograph, the highly complicated piece of mechanism which informs these scientists about the earthquake that Press can bring the news. Mr. Spider cast a critical eye into the interior of the machine, judged it to be an ideal home, and spun his web in the dark, quiet chamber which he found there.
This year only three earthquake have been recorded by the instrument. One of the observant professors began to investigate, and discovered the coxy home of Mr. Cephalothorax. An astonishing discovery took place, and the machine now records even the slightest quiver of the earth's surface.

Earth's Trembling Recorded
A minor but well defined disturbance in the southwest portion of this country was recorded Tuesday night by the seismograph. It has been estimated that the probable source was in the neighborhood of Cuba or Haiti. The primary wave began at 8:15:43 p.m.; the main wave was recorded at 8:25:13; and the noticeable disturbance came at 8:45. The distance is estimated at between 1900 to 1950 miles; direction approximately southeast and northwest.

Frosh Blank Varsity In Slowest Game Yet On Poor Playing Field
First String Men Out of Contest to Prepare for Emporia Clash
Coach Dutch Wedell's freshman nine defeated the Varsity for the first time this season Thursday afternoon on Hamilton field diamond. The score at the end of the three innings contest was 5-0. Most of the Varsity regulars were out of the game and only the outfield was composed of the first string men. The game was not as fast as some of those which have been played this year, owing largely to the rough playing field.
Because of a chance for a game with Coach Bill Hargiss' Emporia Normals on the Emporia field today, Coach Bond sent most of his first string men to the showers immediately after practicing on the field. The game may have been called off and may be played later in the year.
The Varsity lineup against the frush was as follows: Kitchen, catcher; Goodwin, pitcher; Willems, first base; Uhrlaub, second base; Isenberger, short stop; Keeler, third base; Weltmer, left field; Smith, center

University May Train Teachers According To Smith-Hughes Law
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 15, 1918.
Senate Adopts Proposals Asking For Federal Aid to Establish Work
To Teach Various Trades
New Courses in Home Economies, Shop Work, History and Drawing
Teachers of agriculture probably will be trained at the State Agricultural College, but the University of Kansas will undertake to train teachers for the trades and industries. In order to do this it will be necessary to recruit a number of teachers and to change others to meet the requirements of the Smith-Hurges law.
The University Senate has adopted proposals for the training of teachers under the Smith-Hughes law, which under certain regulations gives federal aid to high schools for the purpose of vocational education and to universities and colleges for the purpose of training teachers.
The University Senate promises that the University is ready to meet the requirements of the Smith-Hughes law and that it will give the fullest co-operation with the State Board in training teachers under the conditions as they change from time to time.
Courses will be given embracing a practical knowledge of shop work, general requisites, related subjects, and teaching. Some of the classes are: Home architecture and sanitation, home decoration, sewing, selection and preparation of foods, clothing design, clothing manufacture, dietetics and a number of others to prepare teachers of home economics. There will be courses in the various kinds of shop work, and in connected subjects such as science, mathematics and drawing, history and functions of industrial education, and methods and management of teaching..
Captain Uhls Selects Three Players For 1918 Tennis Team
Matthews, Skaer, and Fratchei On Squad—Freshmen to Have Chance
K. B. Uhls, coach and captain of the Varsity tennis squad, selected his men Saturday afternoon after tryouts on the McCook courts. C. K. Matthews, H. A. Skaer and F. A. Fratcher were chosen. The players were judged according to their serve and stroke, the different strokes including the chop, drive, cut, overhead, backhand, and lobbing.
"The Varsity is fair but not as good as I expected," said Uhls, after practice. Coach Uhls is a Miscontinent and Kansas State title holder. He has played in many games at Kansas City and is now attending the K. U. Medical School at Rosedale. He comes to Lawrence on Saturdays to practice and coach on the University courts. Uhls expects to get a doubles partner from one of the three men on the Varsity. C. K. Matthews, c'18, was center of the basketball five this season and has won three games. He is Kansas City. H. A. Skar, c'19 has won many matches in Butler county and in the central part of the state. F. A. Fratcher, c'18, has played a great deal and is a member of the team of the Rockhill club of Kansas City.
Freshmen will enter out-of-town tournaments for the first time at K. U. The men will be divided into three classes, according to their ability. Excellent players will be placed in the first class, those with ability in the second and the poorer players in the third class. The freshman unit will then send each Uhls. The two best players will be chosen and sent to Kansas City to play Kansas City players in about two weeks.
The first tournament will be with Oklahoma. Later games are scheduled with the Kansas Aggies, Missouri, and the team will be entered in the Missouri Valley meet, probably at Ames.
Three Varsity men and two freshmen also will play a Kansas City team, when the freshmen players go to Kansas City.
Classes for Eight-Week Clubs Started by Y. W.
NUMBER 128
"The Purpose and Work of the Eight-Weeks Club" will be the subject of a talk given by Mrs. A. C Terrill at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C. A in Myers Hall Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. A special effort is made every year by the Association to train college women to organize these clubs for younger girls from small communities during the summer. The workshop will be of interest to women from rural communities and towns.
A second meeting will be led by Mrs. Terrill April 23. The subject for discussion will be "The College Girl—Her Activities at Home and Abroad." The last meeting in the series will be April 30.
Last year Mrs. Terrill conducted a class for leaders of Eight-Clubs, which studied the needs of the small community from a religious, social, and intellectual standpoint.
Allen McQuhae, Tenor Soloist With Symphony Has Had Varied Career
Started as Farmer and Obtained Musical Education in Cabaret
If Allen McQuhue, tenor solos with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, which comes to Lawrence, Monday, April 22, were to use his whole name in a professional connection, there wouldn't be room on the noster for anything else.
ROBERT S. HAYES
ALLEN McQUHAE
He started his career as Charles Allen Alphonsus Burns McQuhae; and if you have any doubts about the way to pronounce it, try "McKway." That does the trick.
His fond parents decided he was to be a Jesuit priest. Allen decided otherwise. He "it out," in fact, and made his way to Canada where he worked on a Manitoba farm—something like the one he bought a few years afterward when a flyer in the mail came with funds. In addition to all this that has had thorough experience as a farmer and as an engine wiper.
The examination scheduled for Wednesday, April 17th, has been postponed until Friday, April 19th. The class will meet as usual on Wednesday.
It was by way of a motion picture theater, then musical comedy cabinet performances that he got his musical start in life and has since become one of the most insistently sought after tenors in the United States, of which Mr. McQhaune is a devoted citizen in spite of his foreign origin.
Classes Dismissed to See Company M Go Through

Notice For Students In Commercial Geography
W. M. Duffus.
Send the Daily Kansan Home.
The scene was in front of a sorority house. The actors were five young men in a motor car. The time was Sunday night. The performance consisted of cheap wit, cruel and coarse attempts at humor and maudlin songs. Nothing badly offensive, but nothing at all commendable and the whole thing pitiful disgusting, in no sense manly and in no sense worthy of a decent University man.
UNFORGIVABLE CRUDITY
You know at the end of the foregoing paragraph what this little recital is about. It happens once or twice a year in almost every college or University. It is a preventable form of idiocy that seemingly had not been wholly eradicated. It happened Sunday night in Lawrence. The five men, apparently University men, were or pretended to be under the influence of liquor. They left an empty quartish bottle in front of the sorority house to indicate their condition more fully. And it and the whole performance indicated nothing, but cheap, crude, cate, disgusting shameful cutting up.
One of these five men was recognized. Two others probably are known. But with one to go on, cannot the Student Council and the other organizations of the men and women of the University learn the identity of the whole five and let them know just how University men and women feel toward such callowness? It can be prevented from happening again and the students can do it. No use to appeal to the Disciplinary Committee. "They have no report on the incident." There's a more powerful organization than the whole faculty, in such instances. It is called the student body.
Sixty-Year Repose of Corner Stone in Old North College Broken
Contents Much Damaged by
Day Well Preserved
Dampness—Newspapers of
The corner stone of old North College, laid with formal Masonic ceremonies October 18, 1859, was opened today noon, shortly after the wreckers had thrown down the northeast corner of the building. The bottom of the tin box was rusted away, and the contents were damaged by moisture. The box and its contents will be presented to the University museum by the contractor, Charles A. Colvin.
The tin box, a foot square and eight inches deep, was placed in a hollow in the brick at the top of the basement wall, and over this a large sandstone slab was placed. This sandstone was cracked so the water had run into the recess.
In the box were a copy of the Bible, and a volume which appeared to be a Presbyterian book containing Confession of Faith, catchism and other church ordinances; a copy of the Herald of Freedom of October 8, 1859, and a copy of the Lawrence Republican of October 13, 1859, both papers printed in Lawrence; a copy of the state constitution, printed in pamphlet form as a supplement to the Republican, and some other papers that were so moulded that they turned away in the air, and were blown away from the box, but was in the bottom of the box, was badly deceased for a fourth of its thickness, and the binding of the other book was almost gone. The newspapers were in a good state of preservation, except that they were worn nearly through on the folds. The paper is particularly white and the print clear.
Captains for each class team, which is to enter the swimming meet, have been elected. Lois McCord will lead the freshmen, Dorothy Dawson is captain of the sophomores, Eleanor Atkinson was elected by the juniors and Margaret Hodder for the seniors, lily in war times, and have only one party dress. You won't seem quite so much like an "expensive luxury" to him perhaps. However, Genevieve, if you have your heart set on looking different, there are two ways: It isn't uncommon in war times to wear afternoon dresses, especially Many women are out for the meet and Coach Hazel Pratt expects more competition than ever.
The captains are expected to get their teams organized at once and begin systematic practice as soon as possible. Many women, who are not interested in any other athletics, are out for swimming as well as most of the strongest supporters and members of the W. A. A.

"The natural emotions roused by ties of home and country find expression in the song of the multitude. But men can't get the feeling out by singing alone—it's in singing together." Professor Nevin said, "and the more much more fuller, better together so much more fuller, the common joy and inspiration of the season. Then there's the song that cheers and the song that has a careless laughter in it—there's the right song for every human need. All participate. All get what the music imparts. We are building the morale of an army with the song on its lines."
“It’s bound to be a singing army that goes over,” said Professor Nevin in this morning, “made up of men who will call to get rested when they are tired—sing the song of victory when they face the enemy.”
"I am not trying to better or elevate taste for music," said the army singing chief, who can present the compliments of the commanding officer anywhere,—"no time for that or use it now. Just doing my bit by teaching the best men in this land to sing 'Over There,' 'Long, Long Trail,' 'Eliza,' 'Pack Up Your Troubles,' 'Goodbye Broadway,' 'Joan of Arc,' 'When the Clouds Roll by,'—and even 'Poor Little Butterfly.' And you just ought to hear 'em sing the national songs!'

Reckless Students Do Serious Night's Work
Send the Daily Kansas to some friend "over there."
Just before midnight Sunday night an automobile load of young men who were all presumably students, some of them positively identified, made a circuit of all the sorority houses they could remember and to each chapter gave a sorenade of such contemptible nature that this morning complaints were entered with disciplinary officers of the University. Women's names in college lists sings about them; ribbany was rang when she was coherent, according to reports made from the different sorority houses.
There is no action taken yet in the case. Investigations are not quite complete, although preliminary complaints are said to contain adequate specifications of grossly indecent conduct to warrant drastic measures.
The only clue as to the men's condition was a quart bottle labelled a whiskey both poor and dangerous, that they left on the steps of one chapter house. The automobile got stuck in a mud bank and in the confused efforts to restore it to service names as well as epithets were called, heard, and reported. The whole spree, so far as it was within the vicinity of the University, lasted until the e arly hours of Monday, despite the car to expedite transport. One hour was put in before one chapter house.

"Queen Elizabeth got a little unladylike at times. She had even been known to take off her slipper and lark and even spit in one's face at one time. She was familiar with the cad driver's horse talk, too. In fact she might be said to be a rude lady," said Professor Crawford to his class in English History.
It's a sure sign of summer or old age when a senior and a graduate student go together to vote for the freshman representative of W. S. G. A., and insist that their votes are as valuable as anyone's.
"Why," exclaimed a visitor looking at the little marble bench northeast of Green Hall, "Why. I had no idea that anyone was buried here on the campus!"
The reporter was looking for news. "Oh say, didja hear about the big iron fence they were buildin' back of the law building?" asked the freshman. "Didja, huh?" "Why, no," he answered. "What about it?" "Well, they're buildin' it 'cause it's spring an' all the trees are leavin'. Dontcha see their trunks?" Whereupon he registered a fade-out.
In a class in Food Conservation, the instructor was lecturing to the young women on the ill effects due to insufficient fruit and vegetables in the diet. "Why," she said, "I can see from the look on some of your faces that you are suffering right now."

May B. Good was walking along Oread street when she noticed the dummies which the students are using in military drill and called her chum's attention to them. "Mary Sankle, do you see those sheep down there by the tennis courts?" "They are sure sheep," answered Mary, "but they are rather soiled."
Yes, again we notice the "Consistency of inconsistent women." Every other week the women of the University flock to the lectures on Food Conservation. Here they learn of the great American waste and the extravagance of a thoughtless nation. Further, they learn of the great food need of the allies at the present time, and of great responsibility of United States in meeting the food supplies of the allies. Then they all troop down town for that daily bitter-sweet eclair. Consistent — did some one say so —?

Shipyards Offer Men From College Chance For Patriots' Services
Shipping Board Representative Pleads for Help From Universities
Victory Depends On Ships
Marine Transportation Fundamental Need, Says Dr. J. A.
B. Scherer
"The fundamental need of this country at the present time is ships," said Dr. J. A. B. Scherer, president of Throop College of Technology, and representative of the United States-based board speaking to an audience of University men in Fraser Chapel Saturday on "Ships and Winning the War."
"The war must be won by helping Hurley," Doctor Scherer said. "Last year submarines destroyed six million tons of allied shipping. That loss must be replaced by the Allies, and the United States must furnish its share. We had planned to furnish that much shipping our ship with two million men go from the sea into the army, we will be able to produce only a little more than two million tons.."
"The fate of civilization now rests with America, and we must get our forces to the aid of the Allies as soon as it is humanly possible. We cannot do this until we have ships enough to carry the men across and keep them supplied with provisions." YEARS HARMFUL PEACE.
**IF WE CAN HANDLE PEACE**
"We can hold the line on the western front for another year the submarine will be exterminated, for the Allies are weaving the subs down until they are losing much of their effectiveness. What we have to fear now is the inconclusive peace that will stop the conflict before America can throw its forces into the struggle."
"The men who can build ships and will work 'In the shipyards are just as patriotic as the Sammies in the trenches. This is proved by the fact that Uncle Sam is taking men out of the training camps and sending them to the shipyards."
NEED COLLEGE MEN FOR SHIPS Doctor Scherer spoke of the need for college men in the shipbuilding industry. He urged engineering students in particular to consider it as a permanent occupation, not only now but also after the war, since it is certain many of the plants will continue their operations then. Doctor Scherer believes the impetus given to船 building by the war will restore this country to its old time supremacy in the merchant marine. All the shipyards are calling for college men as permanent employees, according to Doctor Scherer, but there are many plants that will take men for the summer vacation only.
Doctor Scherer advised men who wish employment in the shipyards, either permanently or for the summer only to write Andrew Moore, Moore & Scott Iron Works, Oakland, Cal., or Frank P. McKibbenn, South Bethlehem, Pa., using Doctor Scherer's name as reference. Doctor Scherer left names and addresses of other firms with Dr. F. B. Dains, of the department of chemistry. Students may obtain them of him.
K. U. Has Given $6,200
  So Far To Third Loan
Subscriptions at the University for the third Liberty Loan had reached a total of $6,200 at noon today with a number of subscriptions not yet reported. Prof. U. U. G. Mitchell announced that students desiring to subscribe to the loan may do so at the University business office in Fraser Hall. Blanks for subscriptions may be had at the business office.
Saturday Surveys Now
The class in surveying at the School of Engineering is doing special work on week days and usually Saturdays in place of the usual work required in the summer months. In previous years the class has given the greater part of the summer vacation to surveying in different parts of the state. But war conditions make it necessary that the men help out at home this summer. Consequently the special work will be done on Fridays and Saturdays and during Commencement week.

MUNICIPAL PRIDE AND SHAME
"Every city that I know of that has any pride," says Fred C. Triggs of the Kansas City Star, "is proud of its fire department and ashamed of its police system."
Visitors are told proudly of the number of fire stations, and are taken down to see the wheels go round. The department will make an exhibition run solely for their edification. The fresh paint and hundred per cent efficiency are gorgeous and dazzling. Even the small town boasts its motor driven truck, chemical tanks and carts of hose.
But the police department of cities great and small is sacred to the clutches of the politician and characterized by the amount of efficiency to be expected from such a source. Visitors are not taken to the police stations to admire the efficiency of the wheels of justice. It isn't done, you know. The efficiency of the wheels of justice depends on the will of the "boss." "Bosses" are much given to financial interest in the very activities in the city which the respectable citizen wants stamped out. The "boss" of course will find a place for one of the "boys" somewhere in the system. If there are no places he will make some. The "boys" may or may not possess the ability, the desire, and the intent to serve the public faithfully and well—but, well they are loyal fellows, and we hope they do. So, ironically enough the public safety force of the city makes it's living off of the pathological pests of the city; they stand for the things they are expected to eliminate.
The faithful, honest, officer who occasionally gets on the force and works for a better and cleaner city is relegated to suburbany districts where he has nothing more strenuous to do than to watch boys play mumble-ty-peg, or is dismissed from the force as too useful.
There is a reason for these two extremes of efficiency in the same city system. No man in the city wants his property destroyed by fire. But an important part of the officials in power are not interested in or desirous of a permanent city whitewashing.
BUT—
There were two of them playing tennis. Two more fair co-eds including an unsophisticated freshman came innocently onto the court and looked as though they wanted to play. The two who were using the court asked them to play doubles with them, out of courtesy to the visitors. No they were waiting for another couple to come and play. Finally after waiting for half an hour they said they would play because there was nobody else to play.
They might have accepted the first ime as true sportsmen, but—
OUTSIDE OF THE CAP
OUTSIDE OF THE CAP
A freshman has written to the Kansan a well worded but unrepresentative communication protesting against the cap custom. His communication unfortunately lacks basis of fact and is similar to other unburnished ideas which students fresh from high school have from time to time in the past aired in the columns of the Kansan inside pages. This freshman, who asks that his name be withheld when the communication is printed, says the freshmen do not want to wear the cap. Last year the Daily Kansan seeking to show the University Senate, then considering the abolishing of paddling for not wearing the distinctive headgear, held a voting contest. The result was that of 230 freshmen voting, only 27 were against the freshman cap. Of this number, only 57 opposed paddling as a means of enforcing the cap rule.
The contest was open to every man in the University. Yet the freshman class—and a representative class—aw the wisdom of retaining this one tradition that smacked of school spirit so noticeable for its absence now, and voted overwhelmingly for caps. The upperclass voted 48 against the cap tradition of 570 votesast. Of this number, 118 were against paddling.
Unlike the intelligence which the communication writer refers to and which he seems to think the freshmen would use to abolish the cap custom, the freshmen favored the caps. But it is not for the freshman to say just what they should do when they arrive at K. S. U. They need look after. They should not be let loose on the campus to do as they please. Freshmen at no other institution in the United States are looked after as well and with less severity than they are at the University of Kansas.
For time immemorial the freshman cap has proved a means of creating good fellowship. It is the one thing which the University Senate has left standing as a tradition at the University. There is evidence of a lack of loyalty on the part of freshmen this year to wear caps that may make some "means other than physical" but just as severe necessary to make this one tradition live. The University Senate, in spite of this vote which indicated the temper of the University, voted to suit its own ideas, and made "physical violence" in enforcing the cap rule, a crime at the University.
The freshman communicate is radically wrong when he says that the upperclassmen do not have means of getting acquainted. They become acquainted by means of caps while freshmen. Laws are recognized by their canes, engineers by their flannel shirts, journalists by their corduroys, and College students by the absence of all these distinctions.
The freshman cap acts as a safety valve for the freshman career. It is the outside of the cap that counts, for the outer appearance has a mental effect on the wearer. The upper-classman sees in the cap wearer a loyal student. By the time that he becomes a sophomore and junior his freshman training has enabled him to uphold the highest traditions of the University. The outside of the cap has done it.
The cap is a means of becoming acquainted and it is a peculiar freshman who does not look back on his cap-wearing days as the best ones at the University. His fresh cap is kept as a treasured momento of his first year at dear old K. U. Absence of the cap is a means of pointing out to the passing University student the freshmen, who are trying to become stained upperclassmen in a couple of months. Such rapid growth goes to the freshman's head. It is bad for him. By the time he becomes a junior, he is an unbearable prig if allowed to run around, minus any badge of distinction.
(Editor's note.—The communicate should confer with an upperclassman or some cap-wearing freshman in regard to Massachusetts Street. Freshmen have to wear their tiny headgear only on the campus and on the University athletic fields.)
The average K. U. student analyzed as to intellectual propensities is a queer sort of being in some respects, especially considering the kind of material that he stores and does not store away in his brain cells.
HOME IGNORANCE OF OVERSEAS
He may be a shark (or a bigger fish, if such a one infest the sea) at zoology, entomology, and other brain-developing oligos. Perhaps, he may be in the habit of taking his mental gymnastics by a careful investigation of the properties of the nth roots of unity.
There is also the student who wanders through the halls of the law building with a miniature library under his arm, pondering the question of whether a certain loquacious person is guilty of malfauses. The daily bread of thought of this student may be the Greek alphabet, the orations of Cicero, the campaigns of Marius, Caesar, Hannibal, Alexander the Great, and Napoleon.
Another type of this average student is the one who journeys wearily back and forth between Snow and Blake Halls, meditating on the number of atoms in a grain of hydrogen, and wondering whether his first patient will be a victim of sciatica or a mere valetudinian.
A common type of student is one who writes English themes, glowing with original and creative ability and is intensely interested in the kind of foods to use in helping to win the war.
Now the queer part of the situation is that the average student, regardless of the type to which he belongs, when questioned about the number of Americans in France, the kind of guns and airplanes used by the waring nations, or the location of yesterday's important battle, replies with a vacant stare. He knows that we are sending men and munitions across the ocean to fight Germany and that recently Germany made a deep inroad on French soil. He probably has heard rumors of a strike in Kansas City, but beyond that his knowledge of present events is limited.
If the student happens to be a girl, the situation is even more pathetic. A few, having interests across the water, spend four or five hours each week knitting, but at the mention of St. Quentin or Montidier, they inform the speaker that they have either been too busy to read or that they simply can't injure their delicate sensibilities with the perusal of such sanguinary literature.

KANSAN PRIZE POEM CONTEST
Every One Deserves Something
WHEN DAVID CAME Gertrude O. Palmer
The meekness of a— WORM!
—Exchange.
Not to the home of priest or king, Nor to the halls of luxury,
Church That God had laid His hand upon.
Went the robed priest to search the choice
Long years ago a king was sought,
a man of God to rule His men;
To take the throne instead of one
Who lost his power for selfish gain
Out to the home upon the plains,
then tomb upon the plants.
Where dwell a simple shepherd folk;
Strong, free and brave,-proud Nature's own,
He stood in stately judgment while
The prophet turned his God-led steps.
Their stalwart form and graceful mein.
Of those tall, comedy shepherd lads With beauty in the countenance.
And many times his judgment erred,
Seeing the stature and the face
But God's firm voice was silent yet,
And Samuel's mind was puzzled
'or Jesse's sons were formed like gods
And pleasing to the outward eye.
But when at last young David came.
The ruddy, simple, shepherd boy;
With heart as pure as his white
And soul born of the plain and sky—,
"Arise, anoint him, it is he"
"The Lord's voice rang in Samuel's"
"touch."
And he then poured the crusie of oil Upon the kneeling David's head.
O not alone in times of old,
For Jewish and Judean Kings Are men of David's heart and soul.
are men of David's heart and soul,
the choice of God to rule his men
But in the fighting world today
Where science kills, and war's n
Where passion, selfishness and gain
Of favored men low beasts have
made,
Is the call loud and louder still,
For the strong manhood of the
plains;
Born of the open sky and field,
Of virtuous homes and able brains
Then will our land have light and name,
Then will our riches bless our homes;
As in the days of Samuel's voice,
When from his sheep young David came.

When the War Is Over——?
W K.PAGE, advertising man-ager of the Addressograph Company, Chicago, in his book,"Looking Ahead in Business" says that American business after the war will be faced with a dual competition.
"Big American factories released from war orders, entering new fields low-price foreign competition, no longer handicapped by war burdens, coming into the American market with full force."
"American business will meet this intense competition successfully, of course. But it will have to harness every modern selling short-cut—and win out by sheer superiority of salesmanagement, high-powered advertising, and sales strategy."
Advertisers can more than realize the value of their advertising when this "after the war" period arrives. The good-will produced for their products by the power of advertising will play a potential part in staying off foreign competition.

K. U. Glee Club Gives Seven Concerts in Two Days at Funston
Doors
Men Sing at Detention Camps,
Y. Huts and Out-of-
Giving seven concerts in two days at Camp Funston, the University of Kansas Glee Club returned to Lawrence late Sunday night. Bad weather kept the men from giving as many concerts as were first planned, and none of the hospitals at Fort Riley were visited. At seven o'clock Friday night the club got off at Fort Riley where the men were hauled to the decathlon. The men carried the aid of a small hand organ carried from the Y. M. but the club gave an informal program out-of-doors. About 400 men heard the numbers.
Immediately after this concert, the ambulances took the men to the big amphitheater on the hillside at Fort Riley near the Medical Officers Training Camp. The regular program was sung to about 800 men. Several K. U. men were in the audience and gave "Rock Chalk" for the club, and joined in with the singing of the "Crimson and the Blue."
The club rested Saturday, and then sang at the big auditorium at Camp Funston at 8 o'clock. A big crowd was present and warmly applauded every number. This was the longest concert given.
Sunday the first concert was given at 10 o'clock at Y Hut No. 7. About 150 men were present to hear the semi-sacred concert. At 11 o'clock the same numbers were given at Y Hut No. 5 to about 100 men. A military band also furnished music at this hut, three speakers were present. At 2 o'clock, a big army truck took the whole bunch to Camp Republican, where about 2500 men are held in detention. Rainy weather kept the concert inside and this cut down the attendance, only about 500 men being able to be present. This was the last concert.
General Leonard Wood was on the train going down to the camp Friday, he being present at the baseball game between the Chicago White Sox and the 89th Division team.

Guy, composer, raised the first shout. He refused to set stuff when he didn't know who wrote it. "Maybe it's poetry and maybe 'taint'," he said; "but one thigh is sure—I'm not confident." The author edited to the ancient rule of back-office supremacy in matters of art.

Instruction No. 6 to poets is to send in their honest-and-true names and not be ashamed to have them run with their verse. Any unidentifiable penname will only use the office goat more for dinner. The editors beg that this discourage no one, least of all modest people. There is one great road to fame and that is paved with type, they say, and bears the name of the traveler on the guideboard at the outset of the way.

Class captains for the women's baseball teams are to be selected this week, so they can begin to organize their material and to get in practice preparatory to the tournament to be held soon after the swimming meet.
A fair number of women have come out for baseball so far and they are getting interested, because this sport takes as much energy and as wide-awake girls as basketball or any other activity does.
Official records to date have no startling number of contestants enrolled. There is as yet space enough to print every candidate's outburst of feeling as long as it is printable.

Mrs. Brown Believes Food Lectures Make Other Meeting Unnecessary
The spring convocation for women may not be held this year, said Mrs. E. H. Brown, adviser of women. Mrs. Brown has so much of her time taken up with state and national conventions she fears she cannot plan for a meeting of all the women of the University. She regards the food conservation lectures as removing the necessity of the other meeting.
Last week Mrs. Brown attended a convention at Chicago of the deans of women of all state universities. This week she will go to Salina to a meeting of the Kansas deans of women of women of all state universities. A meeting of Women's Clubs and a meeting of the state board of the federation are being held at Salina this week.
If a meeting can be arranged Mrs. Brown hopes to have some woman interested in war work for women to address the women of the University.

Sophs Are in Lead In Interclass Meet Being Finished Today
Juniors Three Points Behind Sophomores After First Day of Competition
Twelve Points for Haddock
Time in 100-Yard Dash and Mile Is Unusual for This Time of Year
The sophomores ran almost true to form in the spring Inter-Class track meet Friday on McCook Field, and captured 45 points in the twelve events run off. The juniors ran a close second with 42, freshmen third with 33 and seniors last with 12. The standing of the teams may be somewhat changed after the discus, broad jump and javelin e rents are completed today.
HADDOCK HIGH POINT MAN
HADBOCK HIGH POINT MAN
Haddock was high point man for the meet with firsts on the 106-yard field, 220-yard field and a third in the shot. E. Bradley did some good work in the meet, taking a first and two seconds.
The 100-yard dash was in 10:11 seconds by Haddock, a junior. The time in the other races was comparatively slow although the track was in good condition. Haddock passed Lobaugh on the stretch in the 220-yard dash. Both are juniors. Clift and Lask put up a good fight to the finish in the quarterfinals, finishing with a team shield. Murphy, a veteran on the team, took the half easy, for the Juniors, being pushed at no time in the race.
Dewall hung up good time in the mile — 4:41:3. The two mile was won by Glycine, a soph, who trailed Hanna till the final laps, when he made a great sprout and finished well in the lead. The sophomores took all the places in the 220-yard low hurdles. Robbs, a Fairmount College athlete, winning first. Hobart, who has been running the high hurdles in the indoor meets, took first in that event for the juniors easily. He lost last in the low hurdles when he fell and could not finish.
FIELD EVENTS FOOR
Of the field events ran off Rice took first in the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 11 inches. E. Bradley placed second in this event. E. Bradley took first in the shot. In the pole vault, Howard had to go only 10 feet 3 inches to capture first place.
In the events to be run off today to decide the winner of the meet, all classes are claiming firsts. The freshmen are expecting John Haack to bring in a first in the javelin, while the juniors concede this event to Haddock. In the discus E. Bradley is the hope of the first year men, while Haddock is expected to bring in the five points for the third year men. Hobbs is expected to bring in some points for the sophomores in the broad jump. Howard should place in the broad jump for the juniors.
The relay was the most exciting and probably the fastest inter-class relay that there has been run on McCook for many years, according to Coach W. O. Hamilton. The sophs won out at last but the juniors threatened their victory by flying at the ball also put on a pretty fight at the finish of the race.
Since the juniors are trailing the sophomores closely they are looking for Haddock and Howard to win enough points in these three field events to pass the second year men. The freshmen who are third hope to come up and capture the meet in these final events.

1918 Baseball Season Opens Tuesday; Varsity To Play Emporia Here
K. U. Will Have Green Team on Diamond, While Visitors Bring Veterans
Coach Bond's Varsity baseball team will meet the Emporia Normal nine on the Normal field in Emporia in the first game of the season Tuesday afternoon, providing the weather is favorable. Coaches Bond and Hargiss of the Normals have been trying to arrange a game for several weeks and the Normal coach wanted to play last Friday, but the game was finally scheduled for Tuesday. It will be the first 1918 appearance of either team.
The Normals are reported to have a strong team, with four or five veterans from last year's nine back in the field. The Emporia nine opened the season in Lawrence last year by losing to the Crimson and Blue by a 3-1 score, but Hargairs' men evened up the score later in the year, by beating the Jayhawkers on the Emporia diamond. The strength of the Jayhawker team this year is as yet unknown and not a player remains in school from the team which met the Normals last year. The Jayhawkers are making no promises, but are optimistic about the results of the grame.
The lineup which will start the game has not been announced by Coach Bond, but it is certain that Bunn will start behind the bat as he has been doing the best work of any of the backstops in the early-season practices. Either Schoepel, Caler or Slawson will be used in the box against the Emporials. Machamer or Cherry will play first base and either Isenberger or Cherry will take care of the second base position. Stem Foster has been playing regularly at short in the practices and Lonborg seem to be the joys that will come. In the field, it is certain that Wardie Weltner, the only "K" man on the team, will play left field and Smith will probably be used in center. One of the pitchers or Oyster will be used in right field.
The Varsity again defeated the freshman nine Friday in a practice game featured by heavy hitting on the part of both teams, by a 5-3 score. Caler did the pitching for the Varsity and Bunn caught. Marxen and Desmond formed the frost battery. Weltmer's three-base drive to left center

and Foster's double to the bleachers featured the Varsity attack. A home run to deep left by Judkins, a long triple by Lashley and doubles by Wiberg and Vermillion were features for the freshman. Caler was tight in the center, and many of the yearlings' hits did not count in the scoring.

Jayhawker Beauty Ball Is To Be Feature Party According To Manager
Chorus of Fifty Girls With Cast Will Give Midnight Skit Frolic
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 16, 1918.
Beauties to be Announced
There Will be Serpentine, Confetti and Hats for Carnival Stunt Dance
Plans for the Jayhawker Beauty Ball, the last big all-university party of the year, are practically complete, and were announced this morning by Don Davis, manager of the Jayhawker and promoter of the party. The party will be in Rohinson Gymnasium a week from Friday. A reception will take place at the Kansas Girls' Contest, and their official standing announced.
Haley's six-piece orchestra, featuring Bevernee on the violin and Corti on the saxophone, will play the sixteen dances on the program. A student orchestra under the direction of "Chuck" Shofstall will play for the midnight face to be a big feature of the party. A chorus of fifty girls, and a cast almost half as large, will give a musical skit. The performance will be given on the dance floor, without the use of either scenery or properties. Popular and topical songs, aesthetic dancing, and "kown kapers" make up the program for the show. "It's all music and dancing," said Davis. "Not a word will be spoken during the performance."
A three-course supper will be served during the intermission, at long tables which are to be placed on the lower floor of the gym. The decorations will reprise.
Programs will be patriotic in tone. They will contain not only the dance program, but the farce program, including the choruses of all the songs that are to be sung. The audience is expected to join in on these choruses.
The party will be informal, though the women will be expected to wear party dresses. Mrs. Eustace Brown will chanerone.
The biggest "stunt" dance will be an carnival number, for which 2,000 rolls of serpentine, fifty pounds of carnival hats have been purchased.
Tickets are being sold by the following: Lawson May, Henry Casper, Warren Woody, William Lengemann, Webb Wilson, William Brady, Warren Wattles, Lynn Hershey, Clarence Swenson, Rollo Howden, Charles Radcliffe, Edgar Schroer, John Monteith, Dwight Bhardwaj, Bruce Fleming, Charles Parker, Ead Mason, John Porter, Marvin Harms, Roland Hill, Ray Hemphill, Abe Hay, Clarence Gorrill, and Floyd Hockenhull.

Rare Bits, is a mixing party, to be held Thursday night in Robinson Gymnasium, at 7:15 o'clock. Its object is to promote better acquaintance between junior girls and senior girls on music, freshments, and an out-and-out good time are promised.

No Initiative Taken To Reach Offenders
The Daily Kansan carried the news of Sunday night's business of five young men, a quart bottle, and an itinerary of abuse, to the disciplinary officers of the University. Today they said that they had first knowledge of it from this source. Sorority memoirs have been told that had been both reticent and in a way afraid to come forward with their facts in formal complaint.
Although Prof. D. L. Patterson, chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, and Mrs. Eustace Brown, of the committee, say they have no complaints filed with them, they do not say that their committee has or intends to take any initiative in the matter.

Ice is wasted, particularly in hotels, where the patrons are supplied with more ice than they require, and much of it melts without having served any useful function. Since ammonia is used in the manufacture of ice and also in the manufacture of munitions, this is a serious problem.

Whole Year Required To Erect Additions Of New Ad Building
Vast Quantities of Material Will Be Used in Construction of Building
The west wing and central part of the Administration Building, under construction last fall, probably will not be finished before the first of next year, according to John Shen, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It was thought at first that the west wing would be finished in time to hold classes there this fall, and that the connecting portion would be installed. Mr. Shen said this could not be done, as a new heating system would have to be installed, and this would take till the first of the year at least.
Send the Daily Kansan Bome.
About fifty men are being employee in the work at present. It is estimated that 850,000 brick will go into the building, this brick coming from the state penitentiary at Lansing. The foundation alone will require 2,430 cubic yards of sand and 1,670 cubic feet of sand. Four cars of Carthage stone, 20,000 sacks of cement, and 700 tons of steel will also go into the building.
The walls of the new portion will be made of terna cotta, the same material used in the east wing. About thirty carloads will be required.

Miss Merritt Carr Dies Of Pneumonia Monday
Miss Merritt Virginia Carr, c'16,
died of pneumonia Monday afternoon at
the University Hospital. She was
22 years old and was the only daughter
of Mrs. M. H. Carr of Leavenworth.
Funeral services will be at 9 o'clock
Thursday morning, at the home
on Elm Street. Internment will be in
Leavenworth, where Miss Carr formerly lived.
Miss Carr came to Lawrence ten days ago to visit Susan McDonald, c18. She apparently was ill on arriving and the hospital the next day. The attack was severe almost from the start and Miss Carr's condition became critical because of lowered vitality from her intense work the last winter in the Junior Red Cross in the Omaha, Neb., High School. Her mother was notified and was with her.
Emma Mae Rummel and Craig Kennedy Carry Leads in College Comedy
Cast for "Fifty-Fifty" Changed Because of War and Ineligibility
The cast of "Fifty-Fifty," the senior play written by Harold Lytle to be presented in the Bowersock Theater, April 24, was announced this morning by Coach Arthur MacMurray. Several changes have been made since the cast was first announced several weeks ago. These were made necessary, Howard Morgan, manager, said this morning, by members leaving school and by ineligibility. Mail orders, the manager said, are being received in his office in Room 8, Green Hall.
The leads will be taken by Emma Mae Rummel and Craig Kennedy. Miss Rummel plays the part of Helen Gray, a sophisticated and self-contained college woman. Kennedy is Dick Manning, a typical college man, comical and yet serious most of the time. Florence Harding, a freshman chum of Helen Gray, with a rather light character.
Lewis Hull takes the part of Tom Winters, another college student with a light comedy role. Ed White, a college man, congenial and interested in all girls, is played by Horace Chandler. Blake, the villain of the play, a conceited and unpopular student, is acted by Harry Robinson.
Mrs. Manning, the doting mother on Dick, placid and trusting, is represented by Jessie Lea Messick. The part of Dick's father, an important and perfunctory business man, is taken by Ed Farris, a lawyer of Mary, Dick's sister, a kiddish and laugable high school girl.
The comedy includes five character parts. The part of Mrs. Biddy Flanagan, an Irish cook comedy character with the brogue of the native isle, is taken by Eva Hangen. Charlottie Kreeck plays the part of Rosie Flanagan, the housekeeper's daughter, a pert and humorous maid. The role of Riddles, the colored house man, a light comedy mistral type of character, is played by Don Davis. Willis Beltz takes the part of Jenks, an English Cockney from the trenches, who is afraid of women at first, but changes his disposition. Abe Wolstein, a Hebrew pawnbroker, who would skin a flea if there was a market for the hide, is played by Howard Morgan.
The scene of "Fifty-Fifty" takes place in a room in the Student Union House, a house equipped with modern devices, almost like a hotel in providing a variety of comforts and conveniences for the large number of men who stay there. The play is in three acts.

Arrangements have been made so students may buy the bonds at the Business Office at Fraser Hall. No direct canvass will be made, but a number of students are expected to purchase. Many organizations have least one bond, and others will no doubt subscribe before the final date.

At noon yesterday, $6,200 was the
total amount raised, and this was
brought up to $10,050 today.
Prof. Frank Dains of the department of chemistry, has received word from Clifford H. Wilbur, c19, in the aviation school at Berkeley, Cal. Mr. Wilbur says the work is hard and difficult. There are about 800 there at present, and a number of them are K. U. men.

Last Year's Class In First Aid to Get Credit
Students who took the course in first aid last year without examinations can qualify for Red Cross examinations by entering the present class for five lessons, according to an annual list by Miss Margaret Lynn this morning.
The class is meeting in Westminster Hall Wednesday nights at 7 o'clock under the instruction of Dr. A. W. Only six lessons in the course remain.
Plain Tales From The Hill
"What is it like?" they all asked in unison.
"Oh girls," said a patriotic young woman to a group of her friends this morning. "I just got a letter from her and she sent me my spring outfit."
"here it is," she replied as she fingered a Third Liberty Lounn button.
Question: Why is the diamond the stone for April?
Answer: In the spring a young man's fancy.— And April is one of the months very close to the time for the end of the spool year, and the month after that we thinking most then of how many diamonds they are going to need.
The salvage chest gets many historic valuables and recently a most romantic contribution was found among the contents. It was the picked lock from off the case which contained the "Kansas Beauties."
One University man has a novel scheme to get rid of persons who solicit him for various causes or try to sell him tickets. To every pleas he replies "Get away from me! My baby needs shoes!"
They get awav.
A spring case, all engrassed in itself, came strolling along the campus. It was a "sweet young thing," a girl, and a "dear young thing," a boy. He had her closely held by the arm fearing that she would escape (though she, wouldn't have left for a farm) and leaning toward her he was playfully tickling her nose with the brim of his hat, while she giggled girlishly.
Speaking to an 11 o'clock class in economics, an instructor made this announcement, "I require all my students to attend the concerts of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. I flunk every one who does not go, I never speak to him again nor to any other who plays for friends. I have no use for any student who preciate music. There is a bunch of chaps around this institution who cannot grasp anything more complicated than a two-step."
He can make everybody on the Hill mad—the fellow who comes into the history room in Spooner Library, looks at the bulletin board, takes down the list of books posted for reading, proceeds to the shelf, loads up with all he can carry, and then insists to the library and every comer that he is using them all right then and there and all at once.
One of K. U's most dignified professors was walking homeward in the gloaming past the ranks of dummies set up for military drill practice. He glanced about, thought he was alone, and decided to lay aside some of his scholastic dignity. He looked around and down the ranks and struck at every dummy with his cane, booring a German every time. The last time he hit too hard, lost his grip on the cane, and plunged it like a raper into the excelsior bosom of the German. It stuck too and the professor had to stop in his march of battle and extract the weapon, just as
a student from the library sauntered past the scene of his triumph.
College Council Meets
The College council which is made up of the heads and chairmen of the different College departments met yesterday, and elected a committee to assist the dean in making out the budget for the College for the coming year. Prof. D. L. Patterson, acting dean, was made chairmanii and Professors F. E. Kester, B. M. Allen, W. C. Stevens, F. H. Hodder, A. T. Walker, and E. H. Hollands were elected to the committee.
Owls will meet Wednesday night at 8:30 o'clock at the Kappa Sigma house. Important.

Frat Pin Ruled Out
As Proof of Marriage
The wearing of a fraternity pin is not sufficient proof of engagement to marry, a draft board in Kansas City has decided. The claim of a former University of Missouri student, married after the draft law was passed, set forth as evidence the couple was engaged before the passage of the law the fact the girl wore his fraternity pin. The court affidavit from the bride's soiors sisters recited the girl was wearing the pin before passage of the law. The board ruled the fact the man gave the girl his fraternity pin to wear in lieu of announcing the engagement did not constitute a contract to marry.

IT WONT "GET BY"
Here is what representative students think of the disgusting behaviour of the students who sang ribald songs and dispensed epithets under the windows of several sorority houses Sunday night:
"Those students should suffer social ostracism."
"The University student body ought to let them know where they stand."
"Men of such caliber have no place in this University."
"Their names should be known." "The names should be published. The whole University would like to know what University man would be guilty of such contemptible behaviour."
This offence against all laws of decency and common courtesy is under the circumstances unpardonable. No excuse can be offered for any party of University men who deliberately embark on a night's carousel, visiting the homes of women students for the purpose of using the names of these students in crude and vulgar songs, and interspersing their remarks with profanity.
Official punishment for the present offense is now up to the Disciplinary Committee.
The incidents of Sunday night, unfortunately, although the worst, are not the first offence of this nature in the history of the institution, and an unfair reflection upon both the student body at large and life at the University. For the future names of offenders will be published if it is humanly possible to get them. Official punishment for the pre-
BUT-
It was raining and they were going to a dance. It might have been that he was planning to take her to only that one party, but she did not appreciate the fact when the water became wetter the farther they walked. Of course they got wet and her party clothes were runned. A cab would have cost a fortune, but—
GUM
Everybody does it. If not in public, at least once in a lifetime in purposeful solitude—everybody will chew gum. Who can say at the end of life that he never did?
Of course, one cannot be sure how near the end of life is when one is called to uphold personal moral reccitude in matters of superfluous jaw gymnastics. But if man or woman knew that the exit gates were swinging, it would be only human curiosity's ultimate satiation if world-weary chops revolved one final turn over and through an appreciable amount of gum.
And yet gum chewing must be immal. There is a story of a Kansas farmer who caught his son smoking
cigarettes behind the biggest barn. He shook the lad until the offensive roll of gfire and smoke and ruin to barn, body, and soul popped out and flew to the ground in a perfect parabola. "Yes," said paw, "yes, and the next thing I know you'll be chewin' gum!"
Anything of human conduct that cannot be done without excuse, apology, or defense must be questionable, then. Say that while cutting wisdom teeth gum is to the adult what the rubber ring is to the baby, and it is an awful slander on the consistency of gum. Say that jangling nerves are made to respond like the last chord to the soothing rhythm of the gum that palpitates in tune with the mind and heart, and a whole world wonders why Job found no gum in Gilead. Truth is the seasaw, ferrin-wheel, merry-go-round, pop-goes-the-weasel motion of the gum glued moth is the best nerve twister known outside of a dentist's forceps. All wrong, all wrong, and cannot be right!
Baseball pitchers rely on gum,
They want to wet the ball. The gum
that starts the fountain also dries it
up. And there's the answer to the
man who chews gum to relieve a dry
throat. A bicycle rider chewed gum for
fifty miles and kept his chaps
syncopated with the pedals. At the
end of the run he developed lock-
jaw, mastoiditis, a fractured skull,
cross eyes, and a headache. He
stopped riding a bicycle. Reliance
on gum is confession of servitude,
inertia, and utter helplessness.
But gum is a good substitute for tobacco. It is handy. It can be made attractive if given expert mastication. The results are astounding—the sounds, the motions,—curves, angles, spirals. Perhaps those who profess to be annoyed are envious of the manipulator's skill. Then again perhaps not. The graduate from tobacco might get courage enough to graduate from gum; the jugling Jerry of juicy chicle might find a finer art; and the yawks and yanks of gum-up and gum-down could be confined to experiment and not be extended to experience.
No, man may not be strictly, exclusively herbivorous, but he certainly is a ruminating animal. Even so he takes spearmint and peppermint in his huminations; the deliciously fresh mint from cool hanks of a shady brook that flows across a thousand miles of Yankee billboards right under a million pairs of adoring, wriggly eyes. Then there's the only and original pepsin that cures all that hen panacea will essay and more. And last of all there is that blistering compound of gum arabi and fiery acid that pictured nurses and white coated dentists declare the teeth need. The teeth will come out much casier—and convince the world of painless extraction. But as for the chewing of the gum—well, better have your store teeth ordered and in; it won't hurt them.
The Kansas City Star and Mr. Roosevelt today join in making the same unforgivable newspaper error, the misspelling of a name. In his editorial, "To My Fellow Americans of German Blood," in the Times Mr. Roosevelt begins: "Herman Hagedorn—" and thereby begins incorrectly. And the Star, taking the editorial off the wire or out of the mails, lets him do it. This is a joyous occasion.
Taste? De gustibus, you know,
And after all who cares for
conventions? Gum might get to be
a convention, however. Therein lies
the danger. That would be hard to
upset. Let the chewers chew.
But let them know why they chew and
smile indulgently. Gum? Gum!
They'll make a law about it yet—in
Topeka.
EVEN IN HIGH PLACES
The other day an ambitious student in an editorial in the Daily Kansas wrote "Fred L. Trigg." It should have been Fred C. Trigg, as the Star hastened to point out with pleasant sharpness.
Well, it shouldn't be "Herman," either, Mr. Roosevelt, and old friend, the Star. At least Hermann doesn't spell it that way in his published works, his letters and his calling cards. Neither does Who's Who in America spell it the Roosevelt way. There was no excuse for the student writing an "L" for a "C," but considering the whole thing the inexperienced youngster did a bit better than Mr. Roosevelt and the Star jointly. He had the correct number of letters at least.

Lady Agent Wants Publicity on "Kick'
A "lady publicity agent" is far more insistent than a man publicity agent when it comes to demand space for her activities. The "lady" publicity agent for the Kollege Kick, Saturday in F. 10, in F. A. U. hall is proving this.
She drops around every day and has been doing this for a week or ever since the affair was announced. She wants us to expone the merits of the work of the W. S. G. A., which is giving the dance to increase the coffers to carry on more work. She tells us that the woman's association besides watching out for mid-week dates, has done relief work via Red Cross donations, grants, funds, and that a French orphan is being supported by funds from the association. And that Company M boys received a Christmas box from the hands of W. S. G. A. And that a scholarship is given each year.
To Sing in Musical Comedy
And that's about all the dope she has for us to write for publication on the front page of the paper and in the best place, except that she wants us to announce her dance which is to help pay for some of these things.
And so she comes and goes. Day in and day out.
Ed. Eggleston, who was a sophomore on the Hill last year, and is now at the Great Lakes Training Station, will sing a girl's part in a musical comedy to be given at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago by sailors from the training station. The comedy is "Leave It To a Sailor Boy," and the cast will give six performances, beginning May 9.

The first graduating recital of the season to be given by students of the School of Fine Arts, will be given tonight at 8:15 o'clock in Fraser Chapel by Chire Dietrich, nal8, assisted by Gareth O'Shea, and with exceptionally good pianist, and has always been enthusiastically received by recital audiences.

Blanch Mullen, A. B. '16, of Leavenworth, will spend the week-end at the Kappa house. Miss Mullen was a member of the Torch society and president of the W. S. G. A., while a student in the University.
Thela Hale, fa'21, is ill with the measles.
Elinor Clark, c21, has given up her work at the University because of a badly infected eye, and has gone to her home in Kansas City.

Kansas Will Send Men To Drake Relay Games At Des Moines, Friday
Entries Have Been Made In Half and Mile Relays— Six Men to Go
Entries to the Drake Relay games to be held at Des Moines, In., April 19, were sent in Monday by Coach O. Hamilton. Only two relay teams, in the half and mile relays, will be sent. There probably will be no tryouts because there are so few men able to run these distances.
Haddock, Lobaugh, Russell, and Clift are the most likely men for the half mile, each man to run 220-yard dash. Murphy, Ralph Rocheff, Chiff, Murphy, Ralph Rocheff, Chiff, murphy. A muddy track prevented much work being done Monday afternoon.
The final events in the spring inter-
class meet probably will be run off
Wednesday unless the track is dry
enough for them to be held this afternoon.
The discs, javelin, and broad
balls will be used. The poor condi-
ction of McCook Field pre­
vented the completion of the meet yesterday.
Baseball Squad Leaves For Clash With Normals
Twelve Players Will Make Trip To Emporia for First Game of Season
Twelve players of the Jayhawker baseball team left this morning for Emporia where they will play the Emporia Normal nine on Normal Field this afternoon. It is the initial contest of the 1918 season for both teams. A short practice on a sloppy field yesterday afternoon completed the preparation for the game with the Emporia team.
The Hargiss men are counting on Cooper, a veteran pitcher, to turn away the K. U. team. His playing last season was a feature of the team's play. The probable line-up is Caler and Slawson, pitchers; Machmer or Cherry, first base; Isenberger or Cherry, second base; Foster, short; Lonborg, third base; Smith, Oyster, and Weltmor, outfield; Bunn, catcher.
Oberhoffer Will Conduct
Orchestra In Concert
Statement Was Given Out by Dean H. L. Butler This Morning
Dean Butler of the School of Fine Arts gave out the following statement:
"It has come to my notice that some one is industriously circulating the rumor that Emil Oberherr, conductor of the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra will not appear in Lawrence with the orchestra.
"This is to notify all who have purchased tickets or are thinking of doing so, that Mr. Oberhoffer will positively conduct both concerts to be given by the orchestra, and that both programs will be given exactly as has been announced, with the exception that the orchestra will play Dvorak's "New World Symphony" instead of the Grahm's Symphony, No. 2. This change was made at my request, as the "New World Symphony" is based altogether on American themes, and will, therefore, be more interesting to us."
SPORT BEAMS
Missouri beat Ames Saturday in the annual dual track meet in Columbia by an 88-39 score. Scholz, the crack Tiger dash man, ran the 100 yard dash in 9 3-5 seconds and the 220 yard dash in 21 1-5 seconds, each equalling the world's record. The time in each event will not be officially recorded as tiing the record, however, as the wind was at Scholz's back in each instance.

Capt. Ernest Weibel, '11, Dies in France April 12 From Wounds in Action
NUMBER 130.
Telegram From War Depart ment Received By His Parents Monday
Range-Finding Plan Found
Captain Weibel Working on Improvement for Invention At Time of Death
Capt. Ernest E. Weibel, Co. B, 29 Engineers, died in France of wounds received in action, according to a telegram from the War Department received Monday by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Weibel 924 Alabama street. He is the first Lawrence man with the American forces in France, and the sixth K. U. man to die in the service. The telegram reported his death as occurring April 12. He arrived in France Feb. 24.
Since his graduation here, with the exception of two years spent at Yale and Harvard, Captain Weibel has been in Washington, D. C., where he was employed as a physicist in the Bureau of Standards. Since last June, he and Lieut. Arthur Fecht had been working on an invention to be used by the artillery in calculating the range of the enemy's guns. The invention is finished and is in use today, although the men were still working on it.
Captain Weibel graduated from the School of Engineering in 1911, and received his Ph. D. from Harvard in 1916. He was a member of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific fraternity.
Mr. Weibel was commissioned captain, December 22.
Captain Weibel is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Weibel, a brother Leo N., with Co. B, 110th Engineers stationed at Camp Doniphan and a sister, Nadine, c21.
Kansas Minerals Are Valuable War Asset, Says Doctor Moore
Congress May Authorize Appointment of War Minerals Administrator
"The United States has large resources of iron, coal, petroleum copper, lead, and zinc," said Dr. Moore, "but we are short on manganese, which is used in the manufacture of steel, pyrite, an important ingredient of the acid used in making muttions, tungsten, platinum, molybdenum, chromite, and magnesite, the last two being used in making smelters for iron ore. The Germans controlled the supply of these two minerals in Europe, and placed an embargo on their export at the beginning of the war. Small deposits have been found in this country, and the state geologists are to co-operate with the national survey in locating and developing these and other highly important minerals. Between 300,000 and 400,000 tons of shipping will be released for food or transport service if these minerals be sufficiently developed here.
Dr. Raymond C. Moore returned last week from Washington, where he attended a joint convention of the members of the United States Geological Survey and the state geologists, in his capacity of state geologist of Kansas. The state geologists were invited by the director of the national survey, George Otis Smith, for the purpose of conferring on the matter of the minerals necessary for use in the war.
"There is now a bill in Congress providing for a War Minerals Administrator, who is to be directly responsible to the Food Administrator," continued Dr. Moore. "Herbert C. Burke will review this bill and chiefly responsibility for this bill, which will greatly facilitate the speed and efficiency of the work."
Doctor Moore was asked what part Kansas would play in this movement. "Kansas is usually regarded solely as a farming state," he replied, "but the value of her minerals last year was fifty million dollars. The state is rich in deposits of lead, zinc, and petroleum; it has a quantity of pyrite. Kansas 'cult' is now a more important asset to the nation than ever before. The state survey is to begin at once on the work mapped out at the convention."
Presbyterian Orchestra To Appear in Concer
The Presbyterian Student orchestra of twenty-five members directed by Harold H. Lytle, will give a Red Cross benefit concert April 20, at 8 a.m. in the Presbyterian Church. This is the third annual concert given by this organization.
Prof. Arthur MacMurray, of the department of Public Speaking, will read several selections. He has seldom appeared in Lawrence, but has consented to read on this program for the Red Cross. Mrs. Homer Talbot, pastor of Presbyterian Church choir, will sing two songs them, a war-time lullaby, by Mr. Lytle. A silver offering will be taken for the Red Cross fund.
The War Here and Over There
ENEMY TAKES MESSINES RIDGE The Germans have, according to latest reports, carried the greater part of Messines Ridge by storm. This strategic point commands Ypres and its occupation by the enemy will necessitate the evacuation of Ypres. Buchenwald, Wilbergen, and Wytzhausen, have been defeated by Germanians. Unless a successful counter attack it made, the drive to the channel ports seems likely to have prompt results.
In France they are fighting with bullets. The least we can do at home is to fight with our dollars.-Kansas City Times.
Ernest P. Goodrich, "an accomplished consultant engineer of New York," writes in The American Review of Reviews that he believes airplanes might fly to Europe. "Vessels are being convoiued. Why not establish a boat patrolled route to the Azores (1740 miles), to Portugal (800 miles), to France, and send our machines through the air?" says Mr. Goodrich. He believes that it is a perfectly practical scheme to obviate the difficulties of shipping the planes or materials to France. It would let the tonnage put so far used in that way be put to some other use.

At Present Officers Camp Admit Only Enlisted
Training Camp May Be Opened for College Students This Summer
Aviation service and admittance to one of the officer's training camps are temporarily closed according to E. M. Briggs but either of these may open opportunities for University students at any time. Considerable training camp will be the Harvard Training Camp which will instructors of unquestioned ability but this camp will not commission men into the army directly.
"Present army rulings permit the designation of enlisted men only for training in the officers' schools for military service today. Major-general Wood is now
strongly recommending a common sense view of the situation which shows the necessity of establishing more training camps this summer to train 40 years of age to fit them for the duties of captains, majors, and colonels.
W. S. G. A. Is Active In National Movements And University Affairs
The younger men, non-comissioned officers, or privates in the service now, no matter how well he may know routine drill, could not satisfactorily handle these more important commissions, lacking the necessary balance, maturity, and judgment. With the rapid rate of the call next draft Colonel Briggs thinks in offices highly probable the War Department may again find it advisable to train schools for civilians from 25 to 30 years perhaps younger as was done last summer. Training for officers for all of the troops already across the water will undoubtedly be given in France but the training for the new troops will probably be required here.
Many students who attended the Harvard training camp last year, although not commissioned at once into the army, were given immediate admittance into the first training camp opened by the government and received from it higher commissions than could have been secured otherwise. A bulletin giving full and detailed information about the camp and the courses of study is expected soon. Some other branches of the service which men are intending to enter this summer are the ambulance service, sanitary engineering, balloon instruction, and aviation.
Architects Place Two Firsts in Art Contest
Another competition, which will be the last one for this year, will be held May 5. The subject for this competition is a country chapel. The response to the judgment of this contest will not be announced until after school is over.
Quill Club will meet in the rest room, Fraser Hall, Thursday night at 8:15 o'clock.
The department of architecture has received word that the drawings sent in at the last competition of the New York or the New York were 100 per cent efficient.
Six Mentions Also Awarded to University Artists of Eight Entries
Of the eight drawings entered in the competition, two firsts and six mentions were awarded to the K. U. artists. One first and two mentions were given on the projects submitted and one first and five mentions were given on the analytic subjects. This makes fifteen honors awarded out of sixteen competitions entered by the department this year.
Annual Report Shows Wide Field of Endeavor for K. U. Women
Much activity in school and national affairs is shown in the financial report of the W. S. G. A. just announced by Marian Joseph, retiring secretary. The report follows:

The University has gone over the top, and has subscribed almost a thousand dollars more than its quota of $15,000 in the Third Liberty Loan. But K. U. is not satisfied to stop with just what is required. It is willing to do more than the Government asks, and has now set the goal at $25,000, almost double the amount asked. Students and student organizations so far have subscribed very little if at all. The committee hopes to give every student organization an opportunity to take at least one bond.

Black Helmets will meet at the Pi Upsilon house to tonight at 7:30 o'clock.
Two Convocations at University Next Week
Two convocations in one week is an unusual record for K. U, but this is explained by the fact that there has not been a convoction for three weeks on Tuesday, Sarah Louse Arnold will lead the problem since the war commenced.
On Tuesday, April 25, a convocation will be held to hear William Al len White, Kansas author and editor, and Miss Helen M. Bennett, of Chicago, who are brought here under the auspices of Theta Sigma Phi, which is holding the first national convention here that week.
BULLETIN
The University seismograph in Blake Hall registered an earthquake this morning starting at 1:47:57 and lasting till 2:13 o'clock. The estimated distance was 1600 miles from the location of the California as a dispatch from there states there was a slight disturbance early this morning.
Plain Tales From The Hill
If you see a suspiciously acting student peering around the campus, do not judge him too severely, for he is probably performing a psychology lab experiment. In so doing he may be frightened by what he sees as a professor for a match to climbing to the top of the Administration construction tower.
A certain sociology professor must have been reading Dante's "inferno" he was speaking of a noted sociologist. He wrote in a class that the deceased sociologist
must now be a captain of a shoveling squad.
Katherine Duffield is official inspector of women's rooms. The other afternoon the girls of a certain organization on the Hill went home and found tacked up in conspicuous places in each room such notices as—
"This room is in a deplorable condition. K. D."
"This room is tidy, but please hang up your wraps. K, D."
"This room needs sweeping and dusting. K. D."
The girls were quite peeved to think that Miss Duffield had found their rooms in such conditions. At the dinner table that night two guilty girls had sat down, and were longer. They had put up the notices and "K.D." stood for "Katy Didn't".
Medic-"Did you hear about the large order of pajamas Von Hindenburg made for the German army last week?"

"Comus" to Take Place
Of Annual May Fete
The first outdoor performance attempted by the K. U. Dramatic Club will be given this year, probably the night of May 11. It is planned to take the place of the May Fete at the University. The first presentation will be that of Milton's masque, "Comus."
The cast for the "Comus" has not been entirely selected but will contain nine principals, with twenty-two dancers.
There is to be splendid music and fine dancing, Prof. Arthur MacMurray says. The production of the play is expensive, because of the elaborate costumes. The Dramatic Club expects a musical performance by the S. G. A. general fund, to be used for Red Cross work and the W. S. G. A. scholarship.

Old K.U. Comes Through With $850 More Than Its Liberty Loan Quota
Drive Does Not End Until May 4 and Much Larger Total Is Expected
Set New Quota At $25,000
Student Organizations Urged to Take Greater Interest in Campaign
Despite its good showing the University will not get a flag. It will share that honor with the city if the students and K. U., get into the honor list.
K. U. went over the top in the Third Liberty Lgan drive today and up to noon had subscribed $850 more than its quota of $15,000. A new voluntary quota was adopted this afternoon, and Prof. U. G. Mitchell, who is heading the drive work on the Hill, will subscribe at least $9,000 and possibly $25,000 before the drive closes, May 4.
"The drive committee expects all faculty subscriptions to be in by Friday," Professor Mitchell said. "However, we need more subscriptions from students, particularly from organizations on the Hill. Several student organizations have come in, but a number have not yet subscribed. Their subscriptions are needed. They should not hold out. Besides it is not necessary to pay now, even the first payment. This first payment of 5 per cent may be deferred until May 1. Also, it is not necessary to subscribe this week. Any time next week will do."
University Man Ends Important Exploration For U. S. Government
Allen Sterling Made Scientific Investigations in Brazil, Chile and Bolivia
Allen Sterling, a K. U., graduate, son of M. W. Sterling, associate professor of Greek, who has been on an expedition in South America, sent out by the department of terrestrial magnetism, has arrived $20,75 and in good health, at Parn, Brazil, according to a cabbage received by his parents today.
The trip before the arrival at Para was made through the dense forests of Bzhail, a district known as a fever country. According to the telegram, Mr. Sterling arrived in good health. The expedition of which he is a member left the United States in September, 1916, and, except for a few stops at Cuba and Panama, has been in South America since.
The report of the director of the department of terrestrial magnetism sent out by the department at Washington tells of an expedition led by Observer Sterling in Chile and Bolivia and thence down the Beni and Madiera rivers to Manaos, Brazil. The purpose of the expedition was to investigate several regions with respect to their availability for the location of a magnetic observatory. A location was found about 210 miles from Lima, after several inland regions were investigated and the country as far as Lake Titicaca was explored. Mr. Sterling left the party in February, 1917, and continued investigations in Chile.
Mr. Sterling is the second K. U. man who has been connected with expeditions sent out by the department of terrestrial magnetism. Ittal Luke, a graduate of the University, was a member of the company on the ship Carnegie, which carried on similar work with the American expedition tells of way stations occupied which were established by the "Carnegie."

WHEN SONG IS USEFUL
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1918.
In the Spanish-American war the soldiers sang, "There'll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight," when they were in a hilarious mood.
In the Civil War martial sadness and gladness was poured out in the stately measures of "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Marching Through Georgia," the gayly casual strains of "Dixie," and the solemnity of "We're Tenting Tonight on the Old Camp Ground."
In 1918, in a different day and a different sort of war there is still song in army camps. Formerly singing was irregular and often rebel by a few men. Today the boys are all singing together spontaneously. Chorus singing is a part of the military order of the day. The music officer has his place in the day. The man who originated the idea of military chorus singing is a former member of the University faculty, Professor Arthur Nevin. The musical genius of Professor Nevin has been turned to good military account. At Camp Grant 40,000 men are pouring out the natural emotions aroused by love of home and country in common song.
Tired soldiers get just as much pleasure out of harmonizing on "It's A Long, Long Trail," as does a college quartet inspired to serenade under the beginn influence of the moonlight.
Forty thousand slinging men; one musician's work. Music Officer Nevin is not trying to elevate the popular taste. He is not spending any time telling devotees of "Liliza Jane" that ragtime destroys the structure of those aesthetic sensibilities necessary to the appreciation of Schubert's "Serenade." He is letting the music madness of the day prevail. All that he asks is that they sing, and sing with all their hearts and voices.
Songs will minimize weariness of body, and bring fresh hope, peace, and confidence. It will act as a mental elixir to the sagging spirit.
"It's bound to be a singing army that goes over," says the Music Officer, "we are building the morale of an army with a song on its lips."
Men swear at it and women swear by it. Where womankind is the powder puff is also. The principle is Homeric in its antiquity. Although Helen may not have needed it and could not have used it even had she needed it, so great was the haste of Paris when she embarked with him for Troy, and although neither history nor literature records whether Circe took strategic measures against a shiny nose, there is good reason for believing that Cleopatra had an antidote.
THE POWDER PUFF
When man begins to think on we man in man, he does this whenever woman in particular will not think of him, he works on the hypothesis that beauty is only skin deep. Reasoning further, he reaches the cynical conclusion that from the skin outward is mostly whitewash, calcineum, enamel. This theory is old, but its application has changed with the generations of progress.
Grandmother dusted her face with a mere suspicion of starch or rice powder. Mother graduated into the chamois skin stage. That chamois skin has been envied by daughter for its convenience, especially when it was of the kind which had an outer circular drawstring and had a record for indestructibility.
But the chamois couldn't last. Perhaps the animals gave out; the buffaloes did and the robes become merest imitations. Anyway it was not long after people got used to writing 19-something instead of 18-something when some genius invented powder paper. These powder papers came bound in little booklets, editions de luxe of powdered leaves that looked as innocent as any shopping memorandum. It was easy to extract one and do the deed when he wasn't looking. In fact, there was a ninety-five per cent guarantee against detection.
For some typically irresponsible feminine whim the papers did not stay; perhaps there was an unpleasant analogy to sandpaper in their friction capabilities. Came another genius then. Necessity mothered another invention and this time went back to stealing skins of animals again. The lamb's wool puff, the highest evolution of the science to date, is the simplest in operation. Just dip it into the powder box and then, with the wind right, shake it in the correct direction.
Improvements on the origina lamb's skin range from the time a girl tending sheep on a New Hampshire hillside filled a lamb's tail full of pulverized white moss and then sat down while lambie wagged his tail in her face,—ranged from this quaint pastoral idyll to the efficient creation demanded by modern requisiions of perfect utility. The Dorine Box does it all. Diminished size of puff, dainty powder magazine, all compactly folded together—take the combination everywhere you go.
That New Hampshire pasture and all its appertenances in miniature safe within her bosom, my lady ventures and is not afraid. Venus has not forgotten her daughters. She never will. And, thanks to the Dorie box, she is willing to adopt a few who were not originally hers.
There will be no junior prom this year at the University of Oklahoma on account of the war. The armory, where the prom was to be given, is being used by the war department.
It will be an unusual spectacle to see the best fighting race on earth under the necessity of being drafted against their will. There is no analogy between the proposed Irish draft and the American selection. But they are in striking contrast, this Irishman of the British Isles and that Irishman of America. To the rythmic roll of their drums, the all-Irish-American Fighting Ninth of Massachusetts marched away chanting, "Oh the Irish ain't much! Oh the Irish ain't much!—They're a darn site better than the blim-blam Deutsch!"
Dr. J. A. Wessinger, city health officer of Michigan, asserts that the large clouds of dust which have been blown about recently are responsible for the present epidemic of gripe among the students at Ann Arbor.

Madam or Sir Roomy:
In my official capacity as professor in the University of Kansas, I am beginning to experience annoying difficulties with my supercranial hirsute surface. In fact I find little bays of baldness in among what was once a shore of luxuriant foliage. This grieves me much. It reminds me of passing years. I grow retrospective and consequently introspective and fear to lose the necessary academic perspective. Have you any remedy or recommendation to provide for these gravitating filaments whose recession is so symbolical of things that cause my heart to ache?
Conscientious Interrogator.
I have nothing to propose. I will suggest nothing. I don't want to illusion you; neither do I want to discourage you. Go bheaded and pray for rain. Or if a dry season is on, occasionally poke your head into the cistern. Wheel grease has been known to start hair growing, and some kinds of snakes will start hair rising. I recommend sternly that you think less and talk less. You need morals or workadows a rest. Hair can't grow when it is tired; you ought to know that. Now be reasonable. Go to bed at 8 p.m. Let all classes out fifteen minutes early. Assign less. Keep your sacred peace. I am willing to bet that some of those funny little nitches above your brow will soon get a regular landslide of new hair. There's hope; only do your duty by yourself!
ROOMY
Dear Editor: I am an upper classman and am continually bothered by a freshman who lives on the hall. He argues that he should not wear a freshman cap because it is not heavy enough to balance his pedal impediments, because it has a button and buttons on caps are not in style, and does not such thing was done in hush school. How can I knock down his arguments?
Would Know.
Dear Editor: What is the antidote for eclair poisoning?
Would Know.
The best way to knock down such a person's argument is to trip up his speech.
A Reader.
As you do not give particular I cannot answer you specifically. But here is an antidote a dear old lady sent me twenty-five years ago. If the poisoning is contracted in the light of the moon, bury a bon-bon three feet underground beneath the front porch. If in the dark of the moon, carry an onion and a grain of sand in the pocket next to your heart. Take plenty of sleep and do not become nervous.

Dear Roomie: What is the best way to take a date to a dance at Robiason Gymnassium?
It all depends. If she lives in North Lawrence, I would advise crossing the bridge and going down Massachusetts Street to Ninth and there shooting toward the athletic grounds to take the path over the old golf links. Should she live elsewhere send a stamped, self-addressed envelope and I will give you the information. Do not, however, send a pink or screted envelope.
First get a firm, dark brown sponge and a pail of warm soapsaups. With this wash off the radiator. Blow gently down the hot-air shaft with a belows. Then carefully insert a pinch of imported Brazilian snuff into the shaft, and the nickel will come up.
Dear Roomy: I dropped a nickel down the hot-air radiator in my rooming house. What shall I do?
Privit—"Yes, sir, but we had a little trouble with one of them."
Kernel: "Did you bury all the dead as I ordered this morning?"
Anxious.
Privit—"Why, one of them raised up on his上呼 and said he wasn't dead, but then he was one of them d——d Germans, and you can never believe anything they say, so we buried him anyway." —Awgwan.

Lieut. John C. Madden Former Kansan Editor Recalls Student Scraps
Johnny Madden, c'14, of Mound City is Stationed at Camp Funston
Lieut. John C. Madden, c14, visited the Kansan office Friday on his way back to Camp Funston from his home at Mound City, where he had been on sick leave. Lieutenant Madden was formerly a member of the Kansan board and editor-in-chief during the spring of 1914. He edited the Linn County Republic at Mound City after leaving school, later selling out to accept a position on the St. Louis Republic. Madden attended the first officers' training camp at Fort Riley.
"Johnny" Madden's visit recalls the exciting events which took place during his term of office as editor-in-chief. The Kansas editorial called attention to the defacing of trees on Fourteenth Street, by posters announcing student activities, and showed this to be in violation of a city ordinance. Shortly afterwards warrants were issued for the arrest of all members of the Men's Student Council, the trees having been decorated with posters advertising a dance performance, and served at the house-warming which opened the Student Union House at Twelfth and Tennessee streets. Several members of the Council, including "Johnny," were routed out of bed the next night and taken to jail bail being refused. "Uncle Jimmy" Green acted as their counsel at the hearing, and the men were released
A number of councilmen blamed the entire affair on Madden's editorial in the Kansan, finally voting him out of the office of editor-in-chief, making the position an elective one, all University students to be eligible. A bitter controversy ensued on the question of the Student Council's authority over the Kansan. Madden resigned from the Council, but his resignation was rejected. The Council finally rescinded its action at a secret meeting, and peace reigned again.

Jayhawkers and Normals Play Nine Inning Game At Emporia to 4-4 Tie
Coach Bond tried three pitchers in the contest and the Emporarians were unable to connect safely with any of them. Failure of the Kansas twirlers to locate the plate was directly the cause of each Normal score. Lefty Caler started pitching for Kansas and worked three innings. Scheoppel took up the burden in the fourth and hurried until the seventh, when Slawson went in and finished the game.
Kansas Pitchers Were Wild and Allowed Normals to Score Four Runs
The feature of the game was the hard hitting of the Kansans against Rehm, a veteran pitcher and letter man on Coach Hargail's team. The Jayhawkers got eight solid hits off the veteran while Emporia was able to register only two off the three Kansas pitchers. Lonborg's triple was the longest hit of the game. Foster and Smith got two-base hits and Keeler cracked out two singles. Cherry, Isenberger and Weltmer also hit for one base. Both Emporia hits were singles.
Kansas took the lead in the first inning when, after Cherry had been put out, Weltmer beat out an infield hit. Then Foster walked, Lonberg hit a long drive to center for three bases, scoring Weltmer, and Foster, but Isenberger grounded out. The Jayhawks scored again in the third and in the fifth, but Emporia came back and tied the count each time.
The Jayhawkers played nine innings to a 4-4 tie with the Emporia Normal team on the Emporia diamond in the first contest of the season, Tuesday afternoon. The game was called at the end of the ninth to allow the K. U. team to catch an opportunity to La. N. K. the Normal eight to two but Coach Jay Bond's men were unable to get better than a tie.
The Jayhawker lineup and batting order was as follows: Cherry, 1b; Weltm, lf; Foster, ss; Smith, 1f; Lonborg, 3b; Isenberger, 2b; Keeler, rf; Bunn, c; Caler, Schoeppel and Slawson, p.
Emporia will come here for a return game later in the season and the Jayhawkers believe they will take Coach Hargigs' men in camp then. The Varsity nine will start hard work this afternoon for the big opening series of the Missouri Valley race Monday, when the team meets Ames in the first game of a three game series.

The Haskell Indians had little trouble in running away from Baker in their dual meet at Haskell Saturday, taking twelve firsts and six seconds and making a clean sweep in the 100 yard dash, quarter, pole vault, shotput and javelin. Welborn of Baker made the half in 2:01:2.5. Welborn will break the state conference record in that event in the state meet this year according to Coach Schlademan of Baker.
The Haskell Indians will not have a baseball team this year as the state conference is not playing ball and games would be hard to obtain according to Coach Venne. The Indians have an eight team league among themselves and play every day.

Laws Protest Against 5-Hour Exercise Rule; Case Before Chancellor
Two Lawrence Lawyers Take Matter Up With Head of The University
Twenty-Five Support Move
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 18.1918.
They Say Ruling Is Unfair If It Empowers To Hold Up Degrees
Two Lawrence lawyers, representing about twenty-five students in the school of Law who have united in an attempt to prove that the University Senate has no power to force students to take exercise five hours a week and to deny them their credits if they refuse, took up the matter with Chancellor Strong Monday afternoon, urging that the Laws' case be taken to court. Lawyers said they would take action on the students' protest either at once or later is not known.
The law students claim that the action of the Senate is unreasonable. No credits have been refused yet as the rule has not been passed long enough, but it is understood on the Hill that the senate does not take not taken and no excuse is presented.
"Our stand has been taken because of the irrational decision of the University Senate in requiring five hours of exercise, and because of the failure of the Exemption Board to exempt students who had excellent grounds for not wanting to take exercise," one of the protestors told us; this is unusual in agreeing with us that the ulez of the Senate is invalid.
"We deny that the Senate has any power to pass such rules. It was never given the power. The question is largely whether the University's contract with the student requires that a degree must be given after the completion of 120 hours of work as is stated in the catalogue, or whether the number of hours can be increased by the Senate as has been done.
"The case has been gone into thoroughly. We intend to fight the Senate's rulings to a satisfactory conclusion, that is, when the right or wrong of the point in question has been proved. Our action is not aimed at the Senate, but at this rule which we believe is contrary to students' rights. Neither is it for only a desire to get our own credits, but we want to ascertain for all students the validity or invalidity of the rule."
Mrs. F. O. Marvin Gives Loan Fund To Be Used By Worthy Engineers
Gift to Perpetuate Memory o Former Head of School of Engineering
Mrs. F. O. Marvin has presented the School of Engineering with a donation of $300 in the name of Dean F. O. Marvin to be used as a student loan fund. The gift is to be known as the Dean Marvin Student Fund and is to be administered by the office of the Dean of the School of Engineering in the interest of worthy engineering students who need financial aid. The fund will be used in the same manner as the regular Student Loan Fund.
Dean G. C. Shaad says that the School of Engineering owes its existence and good reputation very largely to the work of Dr. Shaad, who have life to the work of the school.

"Comus" is not intended to take the place of the annual May Fete, but the Dramatic Club plans to make an outdoor play an annual event in the spring.
Comus, when has never been given in Lawrence before, will be a distinctive production because of the costumes and dances. The cast, which will include nine principals, and twenty-two dances, has not been finally decided upon.
The War Here and Over There
BRITISH STRIKE BACK
British Strike BACK The British have struck back so strongly on the northern battle front in France near Ypres that parts of the towns of Meteen and Wytschane were retaken and held for a time. Later the English retired. Some of the so-called Hun victories in this region have not yet been confirmed.
French reinforcements have arrived in the north to help the British in stopping the Germans.
A Pacific coast ship yard has built a ship in 109 days, which is supposed to be the record for building a merchant ship.
Fifteen British ships were sunk by Hun subs during the last week. Eleven were of 1,600 tons or more.
Washington believes that Haig is now working hard to get the Germans in a hole by out maneuvering the Huns in the Ypres sector.
The 49,843 new soldiers who go to the colors between May 1 and May 10 will be sent to eleven forts and to recruiting barracks to train with the regular army units there. These men are in addition to the 150,000 selected men who are called to service April 26 and go to National Army cantonments during the five days which follow that date, and if the units called since the middle of March are counted also, a total of 300,000 soldiers will have taken up arms so far this spring.
Mrs. Bessie L. Miller is driving the bus that carries men and supplies between the Gas Defense Service in the Interior Building in Washington, D.C., and the Experiment Station of the service on the outskirts of the city.
For the first time in its history the congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution will adjourn its sessions to visit in a body the tomb of George Washington.
GOBAIN GUN WORKS NIGHTS Now that the Germans are sure the French have discovered the position and range of the Gobain gun and that the prevention of night flare is no longer a necessity, they have taken to systematic nocturnal bombardment of Paris. Few casualties have been reported from these night activities yet.
Because lowa had no state flag before the declaration of war, lowa troops have been provided with flags whose design consist of three vertical stripes in blue, white and red—the French colors.
The Student Day program will be held Friday afternoon, May 3, at 4 o'clock, either in Fraser Chapel or in Robinson Gymnasium. The program will be in charge of the new Student Council.
Each school will chose its representative to speak at this meeting. They should be chosen at once so that the program will be ready on the date set. This day always has been known as a day of freedom of speech for students.
Student Day Program Will Be Held May 3

In the School of Pharmacy, two-year course, students are given 60 hours additional credit after the first year. In other words the students in this course rank as freshmen or seniors.
In the three-year courses students are given twenty hours additional credit at the end of the second year. Students are freshmen, sophomores, and seniors.
Fine Arts students have completed 16 hours rank as sophomores; 40 hours, ranks as juniors, and 64 hours rank as seniors.
At the election, April 30, there will be elected a president, vice president, secretary-treasurer; members of the student council, seven from the college, four from the School of Engineering, two from the School of Law, and one each from the Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine and the Graduate School. There will be elected a cheer leader and five members of the athletic board, three of whom are engaged in athletics.
Graduate students, except those enrolled in the Graduate School, shall vote as seniors, but those in this school vote in their own school.
Under revised rules, candidates must be eligible under the same conditions as are athletes, and in order to have their names on the ballot must present petitions, signed by twenty-five persons eligible to vote least by noon April 26. Candidates may be freshly officers, must have been in the University a year and be passing in the work in which they are enrolled.

Owl Society Selects Score of New Members
Owlets Chosen Unusually Early In Year—Initiation Set for Next Monday
The Owls, junior class society for me, elected twenty sophomores for members of the society next year. It is the custom of the society to elect the sophomores in the society to elect the sophomores n the Spring for membership the following year.

Ellsworth of Century Company Will Lecture
Arrangements are being made for lectures by William Webster Ellsworth, president of the Century Company, for the students of the University. Professor Flint of the department of journalism, is arranging for two lectures, one on "Forty Years of Publishing" open to the general public, and one on "All the Monthly Magazines" for journalism students. The lectures will probably be given Tuesday.
Mr. Ellsworth has much to say concerning writing, and what colleges do for the profession. Because of his connection with the distinctly American publishing house, the Century Company, he has been in touch with the growth of American literature, and with many of its best known writers, such as Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Helen Hunt Jackson, Winston Churchill, Thomas Nelson Page, and Jack London.
"The price of war news over the cable has gone up from 7 cents a word to 25 cents a word," said a professor this morning. "I wish they would pay more and get better words."
Plain Tales From The Hill
It takes practice to play the part of the fond parent if one has never had experience. Burney Miller has to enact the play in a play to be shown soon in the dramatic art class. From his actions he evidently believes in the theory of the thing as well as the practice. When he appeared on the stage Tuesday afternoon in rehearsal, pushing the baby carriage he had borrowed from a faculty member, he laid aside a small book. Upon examination this book was found to be "Infantry Drill Regulations."
There must be something wrong with our system of education. In a quiz this week a student informed the instructor that Joan of Arc was a general who helped expel the French from India.
A freshman sure had the right idea the other day when he said: "These freshman caps don't keep you from getting sunburned, but they sure keep you from getting tanned."
"Sherman was right about war:
He was there. I mean in war." This remark was overheard by a very studious gentleman at a boarding club the other day.
A junior law who was standing on the steps of the Law Building called to one of his classmates, "Come on, let's go to court." "You speak as if you did not enjoy it," was the reply. "Well," said the law, "It is something of a trial."
The housemother was to arrive on the 12:30 interurban. It would be terribly dark and so one of the freshmen was detailed to meet her. He looked at the clock, it was only 11 o'clock, he had lots of time for a nap, so he snapped off the lights in the library and was soon dead to the world. The 12:30 car came in and the housemother finding no one to meet her, took a taxi. Upon her arrival the fellows found the sleeping freshman and decided that the best way to meet him was to let him sleep. The next morning the would-be gallant awoke and was painfully aware that during the night, the stiffness of his high collar had been transferred to his neck and now he is not at all eager to sleep in a stiff collar.
Civil Engineers Help Campus and Freshmen
The Sophomore and Junior Civil Engineers decided yesterday to help in making the Campus beautiful and spaded up the path across the law in front of Marvin Hall, and are going to plant blue grass.
All freshmen who did not have on their caps were invited to help in this work. Mr. McNown was in charge. By this plan the campus is improved and the freshmen are given another incentive to wear their caps, the Engineers say.
Miss Mary D. Uline of the Woman's Forum of the Congregational Church will talk on "Women in Moslem Lands" in the Plymouth Parish House at 3 o'clock, Friday, April 26. The speaker is a graduate of Oberlin and has spent ten years teaching in Armenia and Turkey. All students of the University are urged to attend.
Convocation to Hear Miss Arnold Will Be Held Next Saturday
Telegram Announcing Change Received From Dean Templin Today
To Discuss Food Situation
Conferences for Women Interested in Food Administration Work
Miss Arnold, who will come to Lawrence to conduct the Teachers' Food Conservation Conference held at the University Saturday, was to have spoken at a general convoitation Tuesday.
The general convoction called to hear Miss Sarah Louise Arnold, dean of Simmons College, has been called Saturday afternoon, April 20, at 4 o'clock in Fraser Chapel. A telegram was received by the Chancellor from Dean Templin this morning saying that it would be necessary for Miss Arnold to be in Washington Tuesday to attend to urgent duties.
Dean Templin, in his telegram, urged that every University woman hear Miss Arnold. "She is a speaker of rare ability," he said, and because of her position as member of the section of the Food and Drug Administration she has to say will be of great importance to the women of this country."
Some opportunity for special conference with Miss Arnold will be made for those University women interested in the food question and who are desirous of taking up work with the Food Administration.
Many letters from high school teachers have been received saying that delegates will be sent to the food conference, Miss Margaret Lynn said this morning.
Liberty Loan Workers Plan to Boost Total $10,000 Beyond Quota
committee Will Make Canvass of Student Organizations, Next Week
The Third Liberty Loan campaign at the University is still progressing rapidly although the goal first set has been passed by a margin of $4,000. More than $19,000 has already been raised.
The present aim is to be_make the subscription $25,000. Prof. U. G. Mitchell, who is chairman of the campaign at K. U., expects the subscription will reach the $20,000 mark by Friday noon. So far only the faculty member that bees solicited. Only one student has subscribed to student organizations and employees not yet seen will be solicited next week.
Much credit is due the woman's committee. They already have reached their goal of $5,000. The way in which they have taken up the work deserves great credit. The chairman of the committee is Mrs. Elizabeth Smith.
Unexpected Features To Mark "Rare Bits"
"Rare Bits," a party to be given in Robinson Gymnasium tonight, to promote the spirit of friendship among junior and senior women, will be all that its name implies in the way of extraordinary and unusual. Marion Joseph, chairman of the senior mixer committee, says:
One of the important features of the evening will be a stunt (its exact type and components are a secret) by Hazel Praetter and Miriam Jones. An attempt will be a musical number by Helen Clark and Katherine Reding.
Dancing will form an optional part of the entertainment which will be brought to a close by a chorus of college songs. The last number is under the direction of Leah Stewart. Mary Lutz will see the drama and firma Lutz will see that instrumental music is not lacking to the pleasure of the evening.
Mrs. Esterly will be a guest of honor. Tickets to "Rare Bits" may still be purchased at the check stand in Fraser Hall.

WHY THE PANORAMA IS NOT
There is a prevalent impression in K. U. that work on the mural painting which was to form the background of the animal panorama in the Museum of Natural History had been abandoned. The reasons given were the increased cost of materials and the fact that Prof. William M. Hekking, of the School of Fine Arts, who originated the idea and was carrying on the work, was so swamped with classes that he had no time at present to devote to completing the work.
Professor Hekking had an idea—an exceedingly ambitious one, to be sure, possibly taking years to fulfill, but he devoted himself to it energetically until the burden of his other work made its further advancement impossible. Numerous other museums have somewhat similar paintings, but they are in wash. Professor Hekking intended to make this an oil painting, and it was to be the largest mural oil painting in the world!
The New York Museum of Natural History has often paid more for a single case of deer than the University of Kansas for its entire collection. All the specimens exhibited at K. U. were collected, prepared and placed on display by men connected with the University at a cost ridiculously insignificant as compared with their present value, which is estimated at somewhere near $100,000. What could be more fitting than to allow a K. U. man to complete a work so remarkably begun?
Professor Hekking is undoubtedly the artist to do the work. He has already shown his willingness to carry it through by spending many long hours working on the painting—hours spent with no hope of material compensation, and the one partially completed panel is a testimonial of his ability.
An appropriation from the Legislature is scarcely to be expected at present to pay for Professor Hekking's services. But this problem might be solved by action on the part of the University Board of Administration at Topeka. By giving Professor Hekking an assistant, his work in the department would not suffer and he would have ample time to continue his labors. The University can scarcely afford to pass up such an opportunity, and the Board of Administration, by employing this assistant instructor, can thereby enable K. U. to obtain a remarkable piece of art at a comparatively small expense.
What has caused more profane thoughts, spoken or otherwise, than the flap of an envelope that refused to stick?
WANTED: SHIPBUILDERS
WANTED: SHIPBUILDERS
Men from American universities are being asked to go into the ship building industry. Our victory, says Dr. J. A. B. Scherer of the United States Shipping Board, is at present hinging upon ships for marine transportation. That we get our forces, and supplies to maintain them, across to our Allies in the shortest possible time is imperative. If we are delayed too long in accomplishing this there is danger of the Allies being forced into some sort of peace.
In addition to our own need, European ocean traffic which is being ruined by the war is dependent upon us to repentish the constantly decreasing tonnage.
A general call has been sent out for ship builders. Because it was insufficiently answered men were taken out of training camps and sent to ship yards. Because of the flourishing state of the industry and the strong probability of its continuing to flourish after the war, it is an excellent field to enter, not only for the present but as a permanent occupation.
An appeal is being made to college men, particularly engineers, to go into ship building for any length of time from this summer's vacation time to a life term. Four hundred university students are at present enrolled for work during the summer months. Many more are wanted to follow their example.
University men will do well to think the proposition over when planning for their vacation.
The following poem was written by Sarah Luise Arnold, Dean of Simmons College, Boston, Mass., who will visit the University April 18 to 20, to conduct a Food Conservation Conference:
POET'S CORNER
GRACE AT TABLE
Here we gather, dear All-Father,
Round thy table to be fed.
Tis Thy gift—our daily bread.
As we gather to be fed
Nations plead for daily bread.
Fighting son and, anguished mother,
Orphaned children., all together
finally. At Thy common table Father.
Ask we all for daily bread.
God, All-Father hear our prayer!
Move our hearts and minds to share
With Thy children at Thy table
This Thy gift of daily bread,
Sacred gift of daily bread!
Lest they perish, swift and eager
Share we now our daily bread.
Give through us, O great All-Father,
To Thy children daily bread!
Sarah Louise Arnold.
WHY ARE K. U. ATHLETICS?
Editor of the Kansan.
CAMPUS OPINION
It has been said that college athletics teach fair-play, democracy, and true sportsmanship. Others have said that universities, through their various activities, give very successful courses—to a certain extent optional of course—in high class chicanyen, smooth edged graft, and brass-bound dishonesty of the innocent-eyed type. According to a report in the Daily Kansas City News, Mr. Husky "coach and captain of the Varsity tennis squad, selected his men Saturday afternoon after trysts on the McCook courts."
Saturday afternoon was the first meeting or appearance of the men wishing to try out for the tennis team. There were ten or twelve men who appeared. The captain examined each man for perhaps three minutes—certainly in no case over five—on his serve and various kinds of strokes. Then after taking certain information as to each candidate, the procedure for that day was over, except for a little general coaching by the captain. There were no matches in the trout and no sets or even games played in it. The men were asked to come again next Saturday at 3:15 and some—or perhaps all—were given instructions to play a match with certain other players during the intervening week.
Now comes the information in print, with all the appearance of finality, that, Saturday, three men were chosen on the Varsity tennis team. At least one of the men named is a personal friend of the captain. This may
No human being, however superlative may be his ability to play tennis, or however wide his experience with the game, can distinguish, with any degree of certainty or justice, as to different players' ability to play the real game merely by watching them make a few strokes. This statement is almost too evident to need me. mg. Coaches had as well judge baseball players, and place them on the team, after watching them throw the ball a number of times and bat up a few flies; or football players by watching them kick the ball once or twice and run with it for a hundred yards.
have been a coincidence.
Is there anything just, democratic or in keeping with K. U. spirit about this performance farcically called a tennis tryout? Are personal friendships matters of honor or are they just a way to discuss false, disgusting favoritism? Why do we have athletics at the University of Kansas?

Juniors and Sophs Tie, But Freshmen May Win Annual Interclass Meet
Javelin Throw, Final Event, Set For Today—Yearling Hurlers Point Winners
By winning eight points in the two events of the postponed spring Interclass Track Meet held Wednesday afternoon on McCook Field, the freshmen placed themselves in position to win the meet today, for they look like winners of seven or eight points in the javelin, and this will be enough to win the meet. Hack and E. Bradley are both good men in the javelin and should gather the necessary points for the yearlings.
The score at the end of the events —the broad jump and discus showed the juniors and sophomores to be tied for first with 48 points each. The freshmen had 46 while the seniors trailed with 12 points.
E. Bradley jumped into the lead as individual point winner by taking first in the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet 7 inches and second in the discus against Haddock, a junior, Bradley, a first year man, has 19 points now and Haddock has 17. McGinnis, another freshman, made second, while Ralph Rodkey won third for the sophs. Hobbs, another soph, was not in good shape, but placed fourth for the second year athletes.
Haddock won the discus with a hurl of 109 feet 6 inches. Weller, a freshman, won third against E. Bradley, second place man, while Sterling got fourth for the juniors. Rice, a senior, is expected to cause some trouble for the juniors in the javelin today. Haddock is the best junior, while Liggett looks best for the sophs in this event.
SPORT BEAMS
The Syracuse University baseball team is coming around in mid-season form, despite the fact that the team has been weakened for some time because of the illness of several of the players.
The University of Texas track team nosed out the Texas A. and M. college squad in a recent meet by a score of $57\frac{1}{2}$ to $51\frac{1}{2}$. The meet was not decided until the relay. Only in three events were good records made. The javelin was taken with a throw of 164 feet, $10\frac{1}{2}$ inches, the half mile was run in 2 minutes 4-1.5 seconds and the quarter in 52 2-5 seconds. The best time in the 100 yard dash was 11 seconds.
In the tryouts held at Nebraska for the Drake Relay games, Harold McMahon, Husker football staff, stepped the 100 yard dash in ten seconds and made 53 1-6 in the quarter mile. McMahon was a member of the Husker team that beat Kansas at K.-C. A. C. meet in Convention Hall this spring.

Woman's Forum Elects New Officers Thursday
At the regular meeting of the Woman's Forum held Thursday, officers were elected for the coming year. Frances Lee Hitchcock was elected president. Mabel B. G. McNaughton, chairman program committee, and Alice Winston, faculty advisor.
Officers who served last year were Lucile Nowilin, president, Mabel Mebelaughten, chairman program committee Josephine Burnham, faculty advisor.
In a vivid account of Charlotte Kellog's "The Women of Belgium," Sybil Martin told how the women of Belgium wore clothing, and worked for the destitute.
Clara Kubik gave a review of James W. Gerard's book, "My Four Years in Germany." Frances Selig told of the life of Catherine Breshkousky, the great Russian countess.
The War Here and Over There
REPEATED GERMAN ATTACKS FAIL The enemy according to latest reports, were repulsed at several ponds along the British line, which is being strengthened by French re-enforcements. The Germans have attacked at many points along the line, but have been driven back each time. The French have made slight gains near Amiens.
OUR ENGINEERS HONORED
The German government offers a reward of 3000 marks to any person giving evidence leading to the conviction of any American or English agent for spreading Allied propaganda.
OUR ENGINEER HONORED Reports from British commanders have been received at American army headquarters, praising the American engineers who took part in checking the beginning of the German drive.
Secretary Baker has said in a letter to General Pership, "After a thorough inspection of the American expeditionary forces, I am returning to the United States with fresh enthusiasm to speed up the transportation of the remainder of the great army of which you are only the vanguard."
COLLISER'S WAR SUMMARY
Colliser's summarizes the present war situation with a simple war simulator.
“Toward the fourth year of Europe's war, the war map,—economic, economic and moral—is much more low now. The hasen has been enormously simplified.
"This is the strategic situation in a nut-shell: Germany and the Allies are facing each other along a simple straight line from the North Sea to the Adriatic. Everything else — Saloniki, Palestine, Mesopotamia — no longer counts. There is no longer any chance of Germany's being driven to surrender by famine, or by a revolt of her socialistas, or by the desertion of her allies. It is only a choice of a try for a break-through by either side now, or six months from now, or a year from now.
"Two things Germany has won in Russia—men and food. Two things the United States has brought to the Allies—men and food. The latter in each case is the more important for the moment.
"It is Kansas wheat against Ukrainian wheat."
"Rare-Bits," the junior-senior Woman's Mixer, was a big success. At 7:45 o'clock last night Robinson Gymnastics was crowded with women. In the box of pop-corn in the middle of the floor, there is immediate diversion between dances.

Basis for "Rare-Bits"
During an intermission Katherine Redding, dressed as a man, and Helen Clark, as a pretty Italian girl, played the uke and the guitar, and sang popular songs. Marjorie Rickard as a gooey-goody, slicky-boy had a song The sailor darlin in posture, by Miriam MacIntosh from Mr. Prose excellent. The program ended with popular and college songs by the entire company.
The Junior Memorial dance will be held in F. A. U. Hall tonight. Haley will furnish a four-piece orchestra.
And now the whereofe of the name, the refreshments consisting of welsh rarebit.

No May Fete This Year Because of War Work
Money For Costumes Will Be Used for War Stamps and Bonds
Katherine Reding, president of the W. S. G. A. said, "After talking it over with both members of the faculty and representative students, we decided that in consideration of war needs, a May Fete would be an unessential expenditure of time and money. The custom will probably be resumed as soon as times become normal again."
Although it is difficult to discontinue traditions and customs of the University on account of the war, the May Fete has been done away with this year, so that the time and money necessary to make it a success, will not be taken away from war work. Surgical dressing classes would be depleted if women were drafted into service for the May Fete. It has been decided that money for the costumes, which would be especially expensive this year, would be better spent on war stamps.

Drill Companies Will Compete For Prize; Wrestling Match On Program
Student opinion with reference to the incident of last Sunday night's disgraceful serenade of several sorority houses by some men students of the University, is expressed in the fact that the Disciplinary Committee is quietly gathering evidence, that a special committee of the Men's Student Council is making investigations, and that the matter is to be brought up before a meeting of the Women's Pan-Hellenic Association this afternoon.
The association is hoping to get every University man out at the get-better-acquired party. Ticket sellers will visit every board club on campus, and Lawrence. Harold Hart and Lewis Oswald are in charge of ticket selling.
The program consists of many interesting contests. The faculty mandolin quartet is to give its latest successes to be followed by two wrestling and three boxing matches. Phil Hayes who has appeared before with his black-face mandolin act will have several new stunts.
Then comes the big event. The K. U. drill companies will have competitive drill for a $10 prize which as soon as won is to be converted into a feed for members of the winning company. The tubbling team is also on the program.

No Faculty Characters Depicted in Senior Play
Faculty members are usually considered a necessary element in University life, but there are some phases of the life in which they do not take part as actively as in others. Such a phase is presented in "Fifty-Fifty", the 3-act comedy to be given by the senior class next Wednesday night at the Bowersock Theater. There is not a professor in it.
"Fifty-Fifty" Deals With University Life Outside the Classroom
When Harold Lytle wrote the play he forgot to characterize the K. U. instruction force. He pictured a scene typical of college activities, but one outside faculty jurisdiction. "Fifty-Fifty" shows a student financial ruined by his attentions to a member of the "High Flies," the swellest sorority in the university. His efforts in bettering the condition of his pocket-book and the military families associations with the "High Fly" lead him into alterations with all those closely connected with him, except the "aculty."
None of the characters are take-offs of either the University faculty or the students. They are drawn from a variety of disciplines and persons related to student activities.
"We do not think the faculty will feel slighted," said Howard Morgan, manager, this morning. "We assure them that the play will be interesting even though it has no character from the class of persons they represent. It is a clean drama, and lively from the beginning to the end."
Students who have at heart the good of the University and the University's good name, who have in their possession helpful evidence, should by all means turn it in to the authorities. What they say, and who they are will not be revealed. No suspicion of personal spite will rest upon those whose patent intent will be only the stamping out of what will otherwise be a blight and a shame to their University. A man withholding such information will be defending and fostering a rotten streak in this student body.
Donald Edwards, c'21, and Harold Brite, c'21, will go to Lecompton tonight on a fishing trip.

Plain Tales From The Hill
a soldier at present,
A doctor of yore
A MODERNIZED ROMAN VERSE Though a soldier at present,
He now does with his sword,
What his pills did before.
There seems to be a high correlation between the blisters on the hands of some of the freshmen and the deprived number of dandelions on the lawns.
Some of the professors on the hill certainly must have had experience with the God Cupid. The class in psychology had been speaking about conveying ideas by gestures.
She: "You can't use gestures after dark."
Prof.: "No, you need your hands for something else then."
Prof. Maxwell Ferguson of the department of economics is an old Harvard baseball player. Every afternoon, he keeps in trim by spending an hour practicing with the Varsity on McCook Field. When on the field, he carries a bag around with him containing two gloves, one for the right hand and one for the left, for Professor Ferguson can throw just as well with one arm as with the other. When he gets tired being a ring handler, he merely changes gloves and becomes a southpaw.
The University is conducting a motion picture show of its own in the Bulletin Board at the "parting of the ways." Since the Third Liberty Loan drive started, a Jayhawk has been jumping up the steps that lead to the $15,000 mark. Now, in the seven seed, the Jayhawk stands far above the mark, and down below the villain appears. There stands the Kaiser, his helmet flying from his head in fear, and his mouth hissing the word, "Foiled!" What will happen when the Jayhawk climbs still higher in succeeding reels is not known.
A French professor becoming disgusted with his class the other day remarked, "What's de matter vit you. You will sure all flunk, you don't know nothing."
In an American Government class the professor was discussing the roll call in the House of Representatives. "All of the members that are present, whether they answer to their names or not, are counted as present. But the trouble with the roll call here at the University is that many times those who are not present answer to the roll call."
Juniors Dance For Memorial
The junior class will give a dance tonight for the benefit of the class memorial fund. This舞会 is given instead of the usual tag days to raise money for the memorial. The舞会 will be given at the Fraternal Aid Union Hall and Haley's 4-piece orchestra will play.
Mrs. J. N. Gordon of Lawrence announces the marriage of her daughter, Maybelle Inez, to J. Neale Carman, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Carman of Hertington, Mrs. Carman is a junior in the University. Mr. Carman was graduated from the University in January. The marriage took place at Liberty, Mo., March 4.
Owing to train schedules the evening program of the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra will begin promptly at 8 o'clock.

Students Will Not Be Solicited Until Big Red Cross Drive
More than $25,000 has been subscribed by the University of Kansas in the Third Liberty Loan campaign, according to the results of campaign announced at noon today. This is $10,000 more than the quota assigned to the University.
Today the work of finishing up soliciting among University professors and employees is being continued and next week a drive will be made to get student subscriptions, and there will be urged to buy, because next month, the huge Red Cross drive will rest largely on their shoulders.
The quota of $15,000 was assigned to K. U. by the Douglas County chairman, barely a week ago.
Javelin Event Wins Interclass Track Meet For First Year Men
Freshmen Finished With 53 Points; Juniors, 51; Sophs 48; Seniors Fourth
The freshmen won the spring Interclass meet yesterday afternoon on McCook Field when they scored seven points in the final event, the javelin. E. Bradley won first for the yearlings with a hurl 167 feet 2 inches. This is within 10 inches of the record which he established at the University of Texas at Austin for the fall interclass meet. The freshmen were second to points while the juniors were second with 51. The sophs were third with 48 and seniors last.
Haddock won second for the juniors in the javelin but Hack, another freshman, got third and the two points necker, got third to meet. Rice, a senior, placed fourth.
E. Bradley won individual honors with 24 points to his credit, Haddock was second with 20. It was the brilliant work of Bradley in the weight events that had much to do with the winning of the meet for the first-year men. His brother, O. Bradley, also counted on as a big point winner, was sick and did not show in the scoring, and third places in the meet will be guests of the K. U. Athletic Association Tuesday night at Bricken's Cafe. This is to take the place of the usual four-place medals.
John Johnson In France
Word has been received by Lawrence friends of John W. Johnson, c17, saying he has arrived safely in France. Johnson left Lawrence for Camp Doniphan as a member of Company H. He was chosen while at Fort Sill to go to France with a group of men who could speak French. The men have been assigned to police duty, teaching the track team, and won the bread jump in some of the dual meets before he left school.
Prof. Elmer To Speak
Prof. M. C. Elmer, of the department of sociology is going to speak at the meeting of the University Christian Endeavor Society at the First Adventian Church Sunday night at 6:45 o'clock. His subject will be "Imitation."

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University supports. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be caring; to serve serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
LET'S REVIVE "ROCK CHALK!"
FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1918.
Is our University trade mark, the "Rock-Chalk-Jayhawk!" sinking into oblivion?
How long has it been since we heard a real, honest-to-Moses, yell—the kind which all but took off the roof, and left you with a strained feeling in your throat afterwards, but which thrilled you through and through, and which perhaps made your eyes sting a bit, as you reflected that after all K. U. was a grand old school, and you thanked your lucky stars that you were inspired to come here?
It has been a long time since we have given the Rock Chalk like that. Perhaps we have not all been gathered together over in the Gym, where we would have opportunity or occasion for a little outburst of school spirit for quite a while.
Meanwhile the apathetic state of affairs as regards school spirit has become marked enough to cause widespread comment and lamentation, especially from alumni.
It has been said that a lot of the "pep" of the school is gone; a good share of it did pass through Lawrence on its way to France last Monday.
We need to wake up, to steal, beg,
or borrow about a million dollars
worth of fighting spirit, enough
to hold until the last man, *and woman*
is forever gone from Mount Oread,
and there are no fights left except
the petty squables of the rats scampering
through deserted halls.
There are to be two All-University convocations next week. Let them furnish the opportunity for a demonstration of school spirit.
And before the convoction breaks up lets sing "Crimson and the Blue" and give an old time rousing "Rock Chalk," just by way of showing that we are still extant.
THE SCHOOL OF WAR
University men who are forced to give up their school work for a time, and perhaps for all time, in order to serve America on the battle fields of the Great War should feel encouraged by the fact that the training they will receive while in service will teach them more of the great principles of life and living than they would learn in many years of study.
The fundamental purpose of education is to develop a man four square. The man who leaves K. U. for the army will be denied the completion of education as far as liberal culture is concerned. But he will continue in a more intense way, a series of practical courses which will do him more good by far. He will actually see the economic demonstration of the world's resources mobil-
lized for conflict. He will see the physics of the terrible machines of modern warfare. He will not look back into the past through textbooks for historical breadth; he will help in the making of the world's most stirring history. As far as political science is concerned, he will have a hand in the business of shaping the destinies of governments as well as nations. He will learn the law of the rank—equality. He will see, in competition, the nations' best engineering. In short he will get in practice, the courses that tend to make a man big.
And he will have the opportunity of learning the thing not in books—an opportunity that comes but once to every generation. And that is the going through the terrors, which will come, for an ideal—the ideal of service to humanity, even though it means service to the death.

Dear Roomy:
I am trying hard to be honest and it is hard. I am always hungry. I haven't had enough to eat in months. But I am a hypoitec. I eat on the quiet all I can put away. I have to or I would die. You see, I weigh 210 pounds and have a girth of 45 inches. I can't stand it. I all hollow inside and can hardly make my legs wiggle, let alone climb the Hill.
Lately I have taken to sneaking off by myself and going to one café after another down in the city. I eat so little in each place, the clerks think me either patriotic or stingy with myself or both. And I get away from it. But I have they decided to write Mr. Hoover about my. I eat so little there.
This is what is going to ruin me. They will tell Herbert that anyone my size can keep up to the regulation notch on the abbreviated diet I have let them think I have been faithful to. Then there will a federal statute perhaps, I feel badly enough as it is. My conscience is a pin cushion. The law will undo me in the end. Can't you help me? I'll try to follow your advice, because I see already how wise and sensible you are. Give me some wisdom and sense. I need it even more than I do the futile filler I have been stealthily stowing away 'n the last three months.
Yours truly,
Fat Henry.
Now Henry, control yourself. Don't let the boys write to Washington at all. Be modest about it and insist that you are too insignificant for Mr. Hoover to take notice of. Say that if they do write you will also write and tell him that what they say isn't so at all; in doing this you will at last tell the truth yourself and 'unburden your soul.'
I know what it must be to lead a double life, Henry, and when a person your size does it, it is doubly the. Only way to break yourself of this habit is to lop off one cafe from your route every week. You will get gradually trained down to eating at home exclusively. After that, to keep you out of temptation, you simply must keep a companion with you when you go abroad in summer as to be the Next summer as the cherries, apples, and pears ripen, you will have to take unusual care. Already the rhubarb is high enough to make your mouth water as you pass by.
It is too bad, Henry, and I sympathize. But by next fall on this honesty-with self-and-the-world program you will be half what you are now. This is pennance for the duality of your present existence. By it you shall be made right with fellowmen. My blessing as you go on!
The champion mean man used to be the fellow who robbed widows and orbans."

Annual Chemalurgist Has Special Features
Fifteen Prominent Employers Of College-Trained Men Tell Their Requirements
The Chemallurgist, the annual production of the department of chemistry, will make its appearance on the traditional May 1. Like the Chemallurgist of former years, it is composed chiefly of articles devoted to the discussion of the principles and phenomena of science; but unlike its predecessors, it will have no advertisements.
Its feature article is a symposium "On What the Employer Expects of College-trained Chemical Engineers and Chemists" by Dr. E. Ward Tillotson, Ph.D., acting director of the Mellen Institute of Industrial Research. The symposium contains representative letters from fifteen prominent employers in different parts of the United States which permit the reader to draw an interesting comparison between the ideas and opinions of different sections of the country. There are also articles by Dr. W. F. Faragher, Ph.D., of Mellen Institute; F. W. Liepsner, head of the United States food and drug commission at New Orleans, and N. F. Harriman, chemist and engineer of tests of the Union Pacific Railway.
Students Show Disregard For Beauty of Lilac Hedge
The publication contains a complete list of the alumni of the department of chemistry.
Branches Torn and Bushes Killed by Careless Removal of Blessons
A man drove up in a car to the hedge today and began working with a rake and a pair of shears. When he had a large armful of blossoms he left. Two women lifted a child up to the choose the blooms yesterday, ahead of time to deposit them on the branches of the hedge for partial support.
Students and people of Lawrence have been picking blossoms from the illic hedge at the east boundary of the campus the last few days with no regard for the bushes, tearing and them down in many instances.
The lilac hedge was planted under the direction of Dr. James Marvin, chancellor of the University from 1874 to 1878, who was responsible for obtaining them from nursery men here.
K. U. men and women have been grabbing the flowers , and in most cases they have broken off a long branch through recklessness and disregard for campus beauty. This lack of care and thought causes a shaggy appearance and kills part of the bush.
Dr. C. S. Johnson, of the department of physiological chemistry, has left for Fort Riley where he will assist in giving the physiological chemistry examination for the new national medical board. This examination admits to all government positions and is recognized by nearly every state medical board as sufficient license to practice.

Varsity Working Out For Series With Ames Which Begins Monday
New Uniforms Have Been Or dered for the Team—Seen First on McCook
With only two days left for practice before the opening series of the Missouri Valley conference season here Monday with Ames, Coach Bond's Varsity nine will work out on McCook Field this afternoon if the field is not too wet to get into shape for the Iowa Aggies' invasion.
A practice contest with the freshmen is on the program for this afternoon and will be played if the weather will permit. The team will probably put in two hours in batting and fielding practice tomorrow.
The Varsity lost a practice game to the freshmen Thursday by a 7-2 score. The contest was featured by hard hitting on the part of both teams, but a couple of costly bobbles by the Varsity, mixed with several long hits by the frogs gave the年earlings the game. Pierce, a freshman hurler, pitched for the Varsity and was hit hard by his teammates.
Every man on the Varsity squad is in good condition, with the exception of a couple of sore arms, but the players should be in shape by Monday and ready to battle Ames to a finish in the first conference game of the year. The Jayhawker infeld has showed speed and fielding ability in the practice games with the freshmen and in the K. U-Normal contest and followers of the team believe the Lonborg-Foster-Isenberger-Cherry combination will compare favorably with any infield in the Valley. The outfield can field well and hit, as was shown in the Normal game when the outer gardeners contributed four of the team's eight hits.
The catching department is fairly strong this year, despite the fact that every backstop is new to Varsity baseball. Bunn, Cooper and Kitchen form a catching department that is as good in every respect as that of last year. The showing of the team in the Ames series will be large up to the pitchers. If the Jayhawk hurriers can acquire control, followers of the game here believe Ames will have a tough battle next week.
Coach Bond has promised new uniforms for the men in time for the big games next week. The players have been wearing either old Varsity, freshman, or their own suits, and the new uniforms will be welcomed.
Five K.U. Runners Enter Relay Meet at Des Moines
No Entries Made for Two-Mile and Four-Mile Events for Lack of Material
Five men who will represent the University in the Drake Relay games at Des Moines, Ia., tomorrow, left here this morning with Coach W. O. Hamilton. This squad will be entered in two relays, the half and the mile. The distance material this season is not strong enough to warrant taking men to run in the two or four mile relays.
Haddock, Lobaugh, Russell, and Rodky Rodkey will run the half-mile relay, while Murphy, Lobaugh, Russell, and Rodky will be the mile team.
The K. U. relay team's best time in the mile was made against Nebraska at the K. C. A. C. meet this winter, when K. U. got second in 3:57. The Kansas runners of last season, all of whom except Murphy are now in the military service, once made the mile in 3:26.

Quake However Wasn't Nearly As Destructive As Previous One
The earthquake which occurred in Southern California yesterday was recorded on the seismograph in Blake Hall. The record made here was one of the largest ever made although the quake was not nearly as destructive as some others. Aside from a serious shaking of the town of Hemet, California, there was little real damage done.
The primary wave was recorded at
afternoon. The other
readings were:
Secondary wave (doubtful), 5:39:41;
secondary wave, 5:40:02; main wave,
5:41:32; main wave (doubtful), 5:41:36.
The range of motion of the needle at 5:43 o'clock was three inches. Prof. F. E. Kester estimated the distance at 12,500 miles East or West, and actual measurement showed that the estimate was very close. The quake was slightly south but this was not indicated by the seismograph.

Blake Hall Clock Is Not Treated Kindly
The big clock on Blake Hall is not unpatriotic although it does refuse to keep time with the daylight savings plan. It refuses to keep time with any plan, in fact. There is practically nothing wrong with it, it is said, except that pigeons and other birds roost on its hands. Any self-respecting clock would quit on such provocation as this.
If the University could afford a glass front to keep the birds away it might be possible to keep the clock running. However, it would take weeks of service to overcome its very bad reputation so that people would believe it.
The War Here and Over There
THE GERMAN ATTACK A FAILURE
The German forces, which succeeded in penetrating the American line for a mile and a quarter near Toul Saturday, were driven back yesterday morning and the American lines restored. The artillery fire of the enemy in the attack was declared by the French ambulance men to be heavier than at any time during the famous battle of Verdun. Our men, although greatly outnumbered, showed most daring bravery.
A call has been issued by Major General George Barnett of the United States Marine Corps for 40,000 recruits for immediate duty in France. An enlistment of 8,000 is desired during May and recruiting stations are to be opened in every state. The men are to be trained at Paris Island, S.C., and will be given an important section on the front.
The Red Cross has been asked by the government to conduct a training camp for nurses at Vassar College to prepare women to fill the gaps in the nursing profession left by the drafting of American nurses for service at home and abroad. The "College Women's Plattsburgh" will open in June. Only college women of sound health who have graduated during the last ten years who are between the ages of 21 and 31 years will be accepted.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics at Washington announces that women workers have replaced 1,413,000 men in the United States since 1914.
A New York merchant who died recently willed $100,000 to institutions controlled by the French government of blind and crippled French soldiers.
Mme. Nelle Melba, the opera singer who turned her Paris home into a war hospital in memory of relatives who had died in the war, has been made a Dame Commander of the British Empire.
Over 200,000 applications for insurance by officers and enlisted men of the naval service had been filed by March 31. The average amount on each policy was $7,300.
George Creel says we have got “to take the purple robes off the government and put it into overalls to do a day's work” if we are to win the war.
Twenty thousand New York State high school boys have been enrolled for farming during the coming summer.
Band to Close Season With Annual Concert
The University band will give its Eleventh Annual Concert Wednesday night, May 1, in Fraser Chapel. This will be the last big concert of the year and Leader J. C. McCanles says that an especially fine program is being prepared.
K. U. Classes Serve Meals
The class in home economic uses of foods, begin serving meals today, putting into practice what they have learned in the course. By the end of the next three weeks each member will have served three meals to tables of five. Each one will plan, prepare, and serve her own meals and do her own marketing. The cost of the first day meals for one person will be limited to 30 cents, the second to 40 and the last to 50 cents.

Laws To Remain Firm In Decision to Appeal To Legal Proceedings
They Feel That Matter of Exemptions Has Not Been Properly Handled
"The laws who are protecting against the Senate's action in trying to force attendance at physical exercise are not against such exercise. We question the right of that body to institute it, however, and to deny credits for unexcused non-attendance, and we end and out if we are right in this idea."
"Some members of the group have just cause for exemption, but are not exempted," the student said. We feel that we are not unpatriotic in protesting; for it would be better to take exercise in working at some industry where labor is needed more than in agriculture, and that the Hill. "Llegal action will be taken to decide our point if the Senate does not take action soon."
This statement was made this morning by a student in the group of laws that, aided by two Lawrence lawyers, has entered the protest with Chancellor Strong, asking that it be taken up with the Senate.
Dr. William L. Burdick, vice-chancellor of the University, said this morning that as far as he knew no action is being contemplated by the Senate on this matter. The next regular meeting of that body is May 2.
Will Train Nurses In Vassar Summer Session
Practical Courses to Be Offered To College Graduates for War Service
Practical courses in nursing will be offered at Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., from June 24 to September 13. The course is being offered because our country is facing a serious shortage of trained nurses, a shortage that will be more acute before the war is over.
The short course of study will be followed at once by a period of hospital training. From the day they enter the hospitals they will be engaged in active war service and in civilian life to greater responsibility and usefulness.
The faculty of the camp includes representative men and women in the sciences and in the medical and nursing professions. The equipment and facilities for instruction are of the highest standards. The course includes anatomy, physiology, hygiene, bacteriology, applied chemistry, nutrition and dietetics, elementary nursing and bandaging, hospital economics and the social and historical aspects of nursing.
Graduates of approved colleges of high standing who are members of the class of 1918 or belonging to classes of the last ten years including 1909, are eligible for this course.
Sixty Delegates Attend Food Lectures Saturday
Miss Sarah Arnold of Simmons College Spoke on Conservation
Miss Arnold addressed the women of the University in a general convoitation, Saturday afternoon. Miss Arnold has been conducting regional conferences similar to the one held last month as she crafted Sunday night for Washington, D.C. to make a report to the Food Administration.
Sixty delegates from Nebraska, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas, met at the University Saturday in the first College Food Conference, conducted by Miss Sarah Louise Learnard of Simmons College, Boston, Mass.
Money saved saves day and night for you. Buy War-Savings Stamps!
Miss Ruth Dyche, who was graduated from the University in 1916 was a delegate from the University of Arkansas, where she is an instructor. Among the other delegates were Miss Louise Stanley, head of the home economics department at Missouri, Mrs. Mary Pierce Van Zile, of Manhattan, state chairman of food conservation work in Kansas colleges and Misy Bye, head of the department of home economics at Emporia Normal School.
University Orchestra And Special Singing Added To "Fifty-Fifty"
Play Portrays Scenes From Student Life and College Smith
A special addition to "Fifty-Fifty," the 3-act play to be given by a cast from the senior class Wednesday night at the Bowersock Theater, will be musical attractions. The University Orchestra under the direction of Prof. F. E. Kendrie will play for a half hour each Tuesday and Wednesday between two acts. Besides this, members of the cast hint about some special singing.
The atmosphere of the comedy is one of patriotism and of football. The theme of the war runs through it, although it is not a war drama. College spirit, with the excitement and rooting which accompany a football game, permeates. Returns from the Nebraska game are being received in the same building as the scene of "Fifty-Fifty," and the shouts of students as they hear encouraging reports break into the scene of action. When the play ended, as in the play, was injured in an automobile accident the last of the week, but this will not prevent his taking part, the government announced this morning.
Jayhawker Beauty Ball Only Four Days Away To Be Party Of Week
Equipment and Decoration Have Arrived—Programs Are Coming
With the date of the "Jayhawkair Ball" only four days away, plans for the big party, which is to be planted in Robinson Gymnasium, Friday night this week, are moving forward rapidly. The confetti, serpentine, and carnival hats to be used in the carnival dance have arrived; the programs are being printed; and the musical frolic which is to be given at midnight by a cast and chorus of sixty students is being rehearsed daily.
"The party will be the most elaborate affair of its kind ever given on Mount Oread," said Don Davis, manager, this morning. "In the past, the 'Vanity Fair' dances at which the names of the winners of the Beauty Contest were announced have been fairly simple affairs, much on the order of a Varsity party. Because the junior prom and sophomore hop were both given before the holidays this year, and because there was no big All-University party scheduled for the last few weeks of the school year, we decided to make an event of the old Vanity Fair'舞
"The Beauty Ball" was hit upon, and it will be fully as elaborate as a junior prom or a sophomore hop. It will be informal, of course; but the music, the decorations, the programs, the midnight frolic, and the refreshments will be equal to those of any party this year."
Will Hear Orchestra Play Husband's Music
Mrs. Edward MacDowell Makes Special Trip to Lawrence
Mrs. Edward MacDowell, wife of the American composer, is in Lawrence to attend the concerts of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra today. Mrs. MacDowell was here about two months ago in a reedal workshop where she worked and is interested in the MacDowell numbers on the programs.
Carl Busch, director of the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra is another visitor for the concerts. Mr Busch orchestrated Preyer's "Concertstucke" and wants to hear Preyer present this work.
The Minnesota Orchestra, traveling in its own special cars, arrived in Lawrence this morning, and will leave immediately after the concert tonight for Hutchinson. The concert tonight will begin promptly at 8 o'clock.
Frank Sackett Schoonover, representing the Lawyers Co-operative Publishing Company lectured to the junior and middle law classes on the use of law books, at 10 o'clock this morning.

Prof. W. B. Bodenhafer and his class in Remedial and Corrective Agencies went to Topeka Saturday for the State Hospital for the Insane.
The class had intended to visit the State Reformatory for Boys, but were prevented from doing so on account of smallpox which has broken out in the institution. Instead of this the class visited the county and city jails.
Those making the trip with Professor Bodenhafer were: Julian Senhausen, Emma May Rummel, Edith Johnson, Marion Griffith, Noll Hohn, Hazel Erzell, Lucile Hovey, Jessie Hewitt, Mary Johnsen, Barbara Mary Brownlee, and Julia Kennedy. Will Hoffman, Henry Swanson, and Roy Burt.
About a month ago the class went o Leavenworth to visit the state and ederal prisons.

Food Will Win The War And We All Must Help Says Miss Sarah Arnold
Speaker Declares Food Is National Property, Not An Individual Matter
Templin Organizing Work
Five States Were Represented In First College Food Conference Here
"Food is, to feed us and not to please us," Miss Sarah Louise Arnold said in a talk before delegates of the first college food conference of five states here Saturday morning. "Conservation is a measure in which we must all enlist. It is a life and death matter."
"Dean Olin Templin as chairman of the collegiate committee has tied together 600 colleges and normal schools in a united effort to co-operate with the food administration. Our part of the work is to carry the message to those who have not the opportunity to attend these regional conferences which are being held in every section of the United States."
"The courage of our men over there will never fail, but what if they should not have the physical strength to repulse the Germans? The great task before us now is to conserve the wheat supply until the next harvest. The present crop of what can not be made into bread until the last of September. We have 180 days that are perilous days to the people here and to those across the water.
"Before the war food was an individual thing, but when Uncle Sam said, 'Food Will Win the War,' it became national property. We must send wheat and sugar. Our boys must have sugar because it gives quiet energy, and man who is lifting weight as much as he works as the worker in a logging camp because of the constant strain he is under.
"We are all sitting at a common table that reaches across the sea, but some of us haven't learned to behave yet. The Germans are almost to sleep. They also must be reinforced by food and men at once, and they tell us, men first."
“As we sit down three times a day and face food, let us make our prayers, Give them this day, through us their daily bread.”
Forty Classic Teachers Attend Conference Here
More Than Hundred Delegates and Visitors at Luncheon In Gymnasium

The second meeting was held Saturday morning. President F. C. Shaw, of Westport High School, Kansas City, Mo., opened with an address and this was followed by several papers and discussions.
At the last meeting Saturday afternoon, Prof. Charles G. Dunlap of the department of English, and Prof. E. W. Murray, of the department of Latin, both of the University of Kansas, lectured.

The Daily) Kansan aims to picture graduate life for the University of Kansas, further than merely printing the news by standing for the law. He is the University's legal advisor, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university and to the students of the University.

NOW IF IT WILL ONLY WORK
The air at the School of Law is charged with excitement. Twenty-five students there have engaged counsel to test the legality of the compulsory exercise rule. If it paid to go on through the procedure of a test case, it would furnish excellent practice for some embryo expositors of jurisprudence, but that may not even be necessary.
The University Senate may get uneasy and withdraw its exercise rule, thus settling the whole matter without the formality of going to court. That would be fine. The University could then point with pride to the success of its students so early in their careers. The rule may even be withdrawn in order to afford this opportunity.
INTERESTING, ESPECIALLY NOW
In the meantime the students should remain firm, and keep the gas tank inflated, for it is really a fine bluff if it will only work.
INTERESTING, ESPECIALLY NOW
The American Review of Reviews
for July, 1909, contained a suggestive
article which is quite timely
just now, entitled, "Will the Newspapers Bring on a European War?"
The article written by Max Von Brandt, a German diplomat, contains the following extract from a speech by Prince Von Buelow before the Reichstag in 1909, which was a plea for international press censorship: "The idea that peace is jeopardized by sovereigns or ministers, by the ambition of monarchs or by the intrigues of ministers and governments, not only does not correspond with the real facts, but is a complete contradiction to the actual circumstances. Most of the wars which the world has witnessed in the last few decades were brought about by the passionate excitement of public opinion, which, through the press and parliament, sweeps the executive along with it."
Herr von Brandt justifies his stand by pointing to the radical attitude taken by the English, French, and Russian newspapers after the peaceful settlement of the Balkan crisis of that year. He says: "It is not doing the press an injustice to call attention to the dangers created for the community by the conduct of some of its organs. There is doubtless something intoxicating for the owner of one or more great journals in the consciousness that he not only influences public opinion but may often create it, and thus bear no mean share in shaping the course of history. The time is past when the records of events remain buried in the archives until, after the lapse of centuries, some curious scholar dragged them to the light; that which happens today very soon becomes for the most part the posses
sion of the public, if not in its enierry."
JAPAN CONTROLS THE TRADE
The carrying trade of the Pacific Ocean has come almost entirely into the hands of the Japanese shipping companies through the withdrawa for service in the Atlantic of most o the British and Norwegian traders (supplemented by unwise legislation by the American Congress.) A list of sailings from Pacific ports show that nine out of ten are of Japanese steamers. True, the Pacific Mail Canadian Pacific and one or two small lines are still in business. The Japanese are now maintaining regular services by way of the Panama Canal with New York and ports on the Allied Powers in Europe. The Japan Steamship Company had upward of thirty sailings direct from New York for Japan during the past year. In South America, too, the flag of Japan is seen in every port "At the same time," says the Japa Times, "the Japanese are careful to disclaim the thought that they are seeking to maintain a permanent grasp upon a large share of the world's trade. They point out the hopelessness of such an ambition owing to simple economic laws that adjust the flow of trade in proportion to demands and profits. After the war, when the commercial vessel of the Entente Allies are released for normal usage, when the new Ameri can merchant marine is turned into the ordinary channels of trade, and when the shipyards of the West begin to devote the greater portion of their efforts to building mercantile, rather than naval, tonage, the shipping balance will be automatically readjusted Although more prosperous than ever before, with redoubled resources an augmented fleet, Japan will have to meet the competition of Great Britain, France, Italy, the United States Scandinavia- yes, and of Germany.—New York Japanese-American Commercial Weekly.
H. T. Hill Appreciates Good Work of Kansan
Lawrence, Kansas.
Editor of the Daily Kansan,
My Dear Editor;
Before leaving K. U, for the Service, and probably not to return to what has been mighty pleasant work in your town, about a half dozen words to the Kansas.
In many ways this pleasant work of mine has been marred by serious difficulties. I refer to the too prevalent lack of active interest in the school activities that require some thought, such as Debate.
And this what I started to say to the Kansan—you have done splendid service to me, to the interests of Debating, to those few faithful ones who have always worked so hard to do their "bit" in Debating, and to the University. And I want you to know that I appreciate your attitude and your assistance. I appreciate it more than you have ever had any reason to know, probably, for I have been as dilatory as the worst about saying so. Like most selfishly careless people hereabouts and everywhere abouts, I have been plodding along in my own rut, regardless even of those who were helping to boost my game.
Yours for the best of everything,
Howard T. Hill.
The Philologist
Your articles and editorsials have been indeed a splendid boost, and this is simply to say that I am aware of your interests. So you heartily for every helpful line.
Serve and save—buy War-Savings Stamps!
"More names." said the Philologist eagerly. "Let's have your questions one at a time.
A Few Words With Him Every Day
"How old are names? Most of them are comparatively recent. A name like 'Fletcher', meaning 'arrow-maker', naturally did not originate in our times, but 'Baker' might be no older than yesterday, 'Hunt', the Old English form of 'Hutner' can boast of a fairly respectable antiquity. On the other hand, you probably know that the Scandinavian names in Minnesota have hardly settled down yet. A man's name may be John Olsen, while his father's was Ole Hansen, and his grandfather's Hans Torsen.
"Now, your second question. Oh, 'Mac' and 'Fitz'; 'Mac' meant 'kin' and showed the man's clan. 'Fitz' and the Russian 'vitch' are both derived from the Italian 'filius', 'son', so that Fitzjohn and Ivanovitch both mean Johnson. An interesting form of patronry you will find in Birmingham's novel Spanish Gold, where two men are called respectively Thomas O'Flaherty Pat and Thomas O'Flaherty Tom.
"No, women's names rarely appear as patronymics, or perhaps we should say as matronynoms. There are a few, such as 'Larousse', 'the bauern-haired woman, or 'Perlmutter', 'pearl-mother', or 'Lafollette', 'little fool', or 'little crazy', (meaning that the mother was either mentally unsound or considered *rab h e r* unconventional). Among civilized peoples such names may refer to women whose death was dead or unknown; among uncivilized tribes, where matriarchy prevailed, this sort of name might be common.
Among the American Indians the mother named the boy from the first apparent augury of his future career; hence such names as Sitting-Bull and Big-Cloud. This name might be replaced later by any number of nicknames derived from his exploits. Girls usually received a more or less poetical name which they retained through life.
"Now, the Greek and Roman . . .
What? Must you go? Wait a minute,
this subject is by no means ex-
hausted. Well, come in again."
WOMEN AND THE WAR
Woman bacteriologists for cantonment laboratories are needed, according to the Surgeon General's Office. Men are leaving the cantonnets for foreign service, and women are wanted to take their places.
A practical knowledge of clinical pathology and diagnostic bacteriology is required for the work. The present salary is $720 with maintenance, and $120 without with transportability only. Applications may be made to the office of the Surgeon General, Washington, D.C.
There is still an urgent need for accounting and statistical clerks, principally for duty in Washington. Women who can show that they have been employed for at least two years in positions of a responsible accounting or statistical nature may apply until July 1.
Women with college training or two years' experience in a chemical or bacteriological laboratory, may apply for appointments in the Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture. Examinations will be held May 8.
Women who are over twenty, and who are experienced in editing, abstracting, proof reading, bookmaking and indexing, are eligible to appointments as editorial clerks, the United States Civil Service Commission announces. Open competitive examinations for editorial clerks at salaries of $1200 to $1600 will be held on May 8 and June 5.
Twenty or more appointments for the position of Plant Pathologists will be made in the near future. Salaries are from $1200 to $2400, and applications will be received at any time.
Women who have completed a grammar school or equivalent education and have had at least one year's experience as a photographer in the operation of a view camera or a photostat machine may apply for appointment as photographer in the office of the Chief of Ordnance, War Department, at salaries from $720 to $1200 a year.

400-Page Book Details Oil and Gas Resources And Development Work
For Oil
Kansas Second State in Union To Make Serious Search
A thousand questions are answered fully and discussed in "Oil and Gas Resources of Kansas," a new bulletin just issued by the state geologist, Dr Raymond C. Moore, of the University of Kansas. The new bulletin is in Kansas, on application to Doctor Moore of postage. 25 cents. The book contains 400 pages and nearly one hundred cuts, charts and maps.
The new bulletin is the most complete survey ever made of Kansas oil and gas and its contents are almost a complete oil education, from a layman's standpoint. While the book is absolutely rigid in its adherence to scientific facts and methods and to painstaking accuracy, it is extremely practical and is written with a view to making it as valuable as possible to every Kansan and to non-residents who are or might be interested in Kansas. It covers the whole field of oil and gas, its probabilities, and its geology its geology the migration and accumulation of oil, the formations that collect, seal or dissipate oil and gas, the locations of wells, methods of drilling, costs of drilling, rigs used, well management, methods of refining and percentages of gasoline, burning oil stock, tar and loss in different plants, history and records of drilling and of production.
Kansas was the second state in the Union to engage in a serious attempt to find oil. That was in 1860 at Palola, a year after the celebrated "Colonel" Drake well was brought in by President Patterson. Palola was Erasmus Haworth, head of the department of geology at the University.
Doctor Moore hopes to extend the usefulness of this bulletin still further, to include the lead and zinc fields of Kansas. Kansas ranks fourth in the Union in lead production and third in zinc production. Kansas also produces more than eleven million tons of coal annually and Doctor Moore says the geologic survey work can be made to help the coal industry greatly as well as to help further exploration in undeveloped parts of Kansas that give promise of oil and gas. The geologic survey, however, was neglected entirely by the military, the voluntary work of the University was the new oil and gas book brought out this year. Other states give $10,000 to $200,000 a year for geological surveys and Kansas one of the foremost mineral states of the Union gives nothing toward the development of its second greatest industry—oil and minerals.

Poets Told to Purify Their Pensive Product
Scurrilous verse that is sent into the Kansan prize poem contest will suffer expurgation and still carry the author's name if it is printed. This is rule No. 10 and was promulgated at 10 o'clock Monday morning when the second terror libel came in without the least apologetic disguise to hide its slanderous intent. The poet fed up his pervasion on peevishness and then dug in the spurs. If anything, he went out with a week about a really good professor who had flunked the author of poetic execution.
The editors could not allow the name of that abused prof. to be used, but since the poetry was rather good, and because Dean Swift and A. Pope could not have descended quite so far and still retained classic severity of form, the editors delegated one of their number to deform the worst of the poem, and let it run to no personal destination. The composing room did the rest, only consenting to the death of the poet; the son was whispered to it with the express injunction to keep darkness thick.
Plans Drive For Salvage
The Salvage Manager asks students to remember that the salvage boxes are still capable of holding any offering. Students are asked to save all bottles, tin foil, cold cream jars,
The real name of the prof. who stole into heaven in that poem has not been given to anybody, and the editors say, never will be. But Monday morning's poem cannot run without exhaustive expunging—total excision, according to Guy the Composer. He suggested the rule on rough verse.

Running in Deep Snow K.U. Relay Men Lose At Drake Relay Games
Lobaugh Ran Unusually Well Scholtz of Missouri Won 100-Yard Dash in 9:4-5
Kansas was unable to place in the Drake Relay games at Des Moines, Ia., Saturday and ended fifth in both the mile and half mile relays. Lobaugh ran a fine race to start the half mile relay, Russell took up the race and lost ground on back-off and in some ground. Haddock took up the burden and had little chance to win, coming in fifth.
Lobaugh, who was doing some unusual running Saturday, ran a pretty quarter to start the mile relay. Then Russell lost again in his quarter and Rodkey finished nearly 25 yards behind. Murphy, the last runner, made up of much this distance, but came across fifth, because of the big handicap. Haddock did well in the 100-yard dash but failed to place among the first four. The event was won by Scholtz in 9:4-5.
The meet was run off in a blinding snow storm and in probably the coldest weather in which it has been held. The runners ran in snow that was ankle deep and it was coming down so fast that the athletes could see scarce twenty feet ahead.
War Conditions Prevent Work on Mural Painting
Painting to Cover About 13750 Feet and Thought Largest Of Its Kind
The huge mural painting in the Museum of Natural History which was begun by Prof. W. M. Hekking of the School of Fine Arts more than a year ago, has been abandoned until after the war. The painting as originally planned, was to have been from 15 to 30 feet in height and was to form the background of the entire natural history museum on the first floor of the museum, whose total length is 550 feet. When completed it would have been, so far as is known, the largest mural oil painting in the world.
On account of the increased cost of all the materials used in the painting, it was thought best to suspend work for an indefinite time. Professor Hekking's time is so completely taken up by classes this year that he has had little time to spend on other many difficulties, as it is in oil and not a wash painting as are most of the museums' backgrounds in this country.
The first panel of the painting is nearly completed, and Professor Hekking said that it would be finished before the end of the school year. Professor Hekking conceived the idea for the painting himself, and is receiving no compensation for the work.
K. U. Asked to Support Work of Caring for Animals In War
Animal Relief Needs More Ships and Money
Because of the lack of ships needed to transport supplies to France, as well as the expense involved in transportation, an increased effort is being made by the Red Star Animal Relief to raise money to buy necessary equipment to take care of the horses, mules, and dogs now used by the army in France. Letter written by the Chancellor Frank Strong from officers of the Red Star urging the support of the University in this work.
The Red Star Animal Relief works for the animals used in war work in much the same way that the Red Cross works for men. The great part the animals play in the war makes an efficient organization necessary and surgical dressings, ambulances, and the like are used in caring for wounded animals that they may be used again in the war. The French and British armies learned to care for their animals early in the war and
great efforts in this work are now being made in America.
The first animal ambulance of the Kansas City chapter of the Red Star will be bought soon. Money for it is being raised by donations and entertainments. Contributions for the Red Star fund are being received by Robert Prey Combs of Kansas City, Mo.
Ames Aggies and Varsity Open Conference Games On Local Diamond Toda
K. U. Lineup Expected to Be Similar to That in Contest: At Emporia
The Jayhawkers are playing the Ames Aggies on McCook field this afternoon in the first conference game of the 1918 season. Both teams are made up largely of new men this year, although Ames has three or four letter men and Kansas has only one, Weltmert, who has won a baseball letter. The game this afternoon was scheduled to begin at 4 o'clock and contests will also be played Tuesday and Wednesday.
The same Jayhawker lineup which met the Emporia Normal team at Emporia last week will probably be used against the Aggies, with Bunn catching, Cherry on first, Isenberger on second, Foster playing short and Lonbury on third, Weltmer, Smith and Keeler in the outfield. Oyster or one of the pitchers may take Keeler's place in right field, however.

K. U. Stag Is Postponed Until Thursday, May 2
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 23, 1918.
The K. U. Stag, which was to have been given in Robinson Gymnasium Thursday night under the auspices of the University Y. M. C. A., has been postponed until Tuesday, May 2.

The War Here and Over There
General John Pershing has reported a casualty list of 200 killed and wounded from the battle northwest of Toul Saturday and Sunday. The German losses were much heavier.
Waddill Catchings in an address before the Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Association said that unless business men are taken into the councils of the nation without further delay the war will be lost.
The State Council of Defense in Maine has set aside $250,000 to be loaned to farmers.
Two hundred and fifty million dollars has been saved by United States chemists in making articles formerly made in Germany.
Field and garden seed have been unconditionally exempted from all embargoes, according to the Department of Agriculture.
The United States Food Administration forbids millers and licensed wholesalers to sell wheat flour for any but food uses and paperhangers have found a potato flour paste a workable substitute in some parts of the country.
Germany is calling boys of 17 to the colors, and England has extended the age limit for military service to 45 years.
The German national debt is now nearly $30,000,000,000.
Throughout England 102 daily newspapers have been forced to increase their prices and 676 weekly papers have followed suit.
An ice cream concern has effected a saving in sugar by using two pounds of strained honey to one pound of sugar for its ice cream. While honey costs a little more than sugar, it makes a fine grade of ice cream and the saving in sugar justifies the extra expense of the sweetener.
Since the flour mills of the country are running day and night to make flour for the allied armies, many fires have occurred from overheated bearings, due to relaxed supervision as skilled operatives have been drawn into the army and war industries and because of the scarcity of superior lubricating oil.
President McGrady of the Boston Central Labor Union has entered with Congressman Gallivan a protest of organized labor in the name of their families against the present plan of announcing war casualties. Mr. McGrady represents his constituents as a member of the organization dresses beside all names in casualty lists in order to prevent agonizing ambigities.

First Impressions of the Navy
Everett Palmer, Formerly Editor of Kansan,
Sees Lighter Side of Life at Great Lakes
Everett Palmer, former editor or the University Daily Kansan, who recently enlisted in the navy, writes as follows from Camp Farragut, Great Lakes, ill., to his father's paper, the Jewell County Republican:
Dear Folks: If I don't begin writing pretty soon, I'll not be able to start at the beginning. I imagine the first few days will be the most interesting. After we have been scrubbing floors and wheeling dirt for a couple of months, it may hurry us to find something new to write about.
After we were examined Friday morning to see that we had no firearms, patent medicines, cigarettes, or sulphur matches, we were assigned immediately to barracks in the detention camp. We are scheduled to stay here three weeks. Friday we got our bedding; but not our uniforms.
That brings me to a very lofty subject—our hammocks. I think the navy should follow the example of the Aviation Department and establish
Kansan Will Entertain Newspaper Sisterhood At Lunchon Thursday
Honorary Members Send Material for Fraternity Library Here
The Kansan Board will entertain the visiting members of Theta Sigma Phi with a lunchon Thursday noon in the Kansan office. The guests of honor will be William Allen White and Charles Dillon, manager of the Capper farm publications, both principal speakers at the Thursday session of Theta Sigma Phi's national convention.
Many honorary members of Theta Sigma Phi who have sent material to the K. U. chapter, Epsilon, for use in the convention exhibit have sent some of their books. As a result of this interest, we go on to fora a Theta Sigma Phi library here.
Some of the delegates who will be here for the convention, are Vina Lindsay from the Gamma chapter in Missouri; Caroline Greer and Frances Davis from Kansas City, former students at the University; Miss Marion Lewis, who was in K. U. last year and now editor of the school page of the Minneapolis Journal; Miss Irene Smith and Miss Phyllis Johnson, from former K. U. students.

American music was emphasized in the concerts given by the Minnesota Symphony orchestra in Robinson Gymnasium, Monday. The six numbers from MacDowell's "Woodland Sketches" were orchestrated by Emil Oberhofer, director of the orchestra. Mr. Oberhofer has studied MacDowell for twenty-five years and considers him the greatest American composer. MacDowell's love of the out-doors so characteristically expressed in his music lacked nothing of its beauty in the interpretation by the orchestra. Mrs. Edward MacDowell was in the audience yesterday.
Dovrak's famous symphony "From the New World" was played at the concert last night. The theme of this is American negro music, which Dovrak studied while in America. The syncopation of old banjo airs and modern ragtime appears in the opening movement. Something of the plaintive theme of folk songs is woven into the large and the symphony ends with an elaboration of both themes.

Senior Prize Play Will Start On Time Wednesday Night
"Fifty-Fifty" a Typical Uni-
versity Student Production
The annual dramatic event which is entirely a product of the University will be staged Wednesday night at the Bowersock Theater. This event is the senior class play, "Fifty-Fifty." It was written by a graduate student, Harold Lytle, and the actors and managers are students. The curtain will rise promptly at 8:30 o'clock, Howard Morgan, manager, said this morning. The seat sale has been unusually large, he attends because it attracts much attention because it interacts with local scenes and college interests.
Rehearsals have been held regularly, and it is reported that the players have the play well in hand, with only a few finishing touches needed. The cast of fourteen characters follows: Helen Gray, Emma Mae Rummel; Mary Manning, Helen Clark; Mrs. Manning, Jessie Lea Messick; Florence Harding, Marie Buchanan; Mrs. Flanagan, Eva Hangen; Rosie Flanagan, Charlotte Kreec; Dick曼曼, Craig Kennedy; Mr. Manning, Ed Patton; Riddles, Don Dauville; Jenks, Willis Beltz; Abe Wolfstein, Howard Morgan; Blake, Harry Robinson; Tom Winters, Lewis Hull; Ed White, Horace Chandler.

Dance Money Will Go To Pay Expenses of Trip to
Funston
In order that the members of the Men's Gle Club may make back a part of their expenses to Camp Funston, they have decided to give a dance. The name "Glee Club Gambol" seems to be an outgrowth of the other rhyming names given to dances in the past.
May 3 is the date set for the "Gambol" to be given in Robinson Gymnasium. Dancing will start at 9 and continue until 1 o'clock. Arrangements have been made for singing at the dance. The floor of the dancers was covered and waxed so that the dancers may follow the nath of "least resistance."

Army May Send 200 For Technical Training
The School of Engineering of the University of Kansas may be used as a training school for about 200 drafted men this summer according to plans being discussed by the faculty today. Dean Potter of the School of Engineering at the State Agricultural College is at the University to teach the drafting mitte in locating the schools to be used in training the drafted men.
These men will be given special technical training during the summer months and the Engineering Building, Fowler Shops, and Blake Hall will probably be used for this purpose. The location of the schools for technical training of drafted men was hastened because of the large number of men drafted into the service.
Plain Tales From The Hill
POLITICAL NEWS
The political bee is buzzing.
Spring is in the offing. The bore-some stude who wants you to sign for the candidate who has never been heard of until you see his name on a bill. And us, the agitators, politician wants the stage. He hasn't done anything since last election, but he is here again.
The man who is for the best student interests; the man with a soul and head; the peelup's choice. He has come out from his quarters of hibernation. He is running free and careless on our campus. His affection for you is becoming touching. Sadly enough as the spring wears on the classroom he becomes distant, so does our Political Boss. His memory fails him; heavy planks in his platform become more Kindling.
The election has been won!
With the opening of the baseball season in the Missouri Valley conference yesterday with Ames, the K. U. baseball team made its first appearance in the new uniforms. The freshmen will appear in their new outfits today. Baseball fans at the University have consented to be quoted as saying that the uniforms look "neat and nifty."
A young man called in the draft and returning home this week received these instructions from one of his co-eed friends:
1. When down-cast and discouraged, think of me.
2. When hungry, think of me.
3. When lonesome, write a long let ter to me.
4. When the Huns are after you think of me.
"What is the meaning of this word?" asked the professor. "And where does it come from?"
While members of the 11 o'clock class were inspecting a news story of a trial, they came across the word "hectoring."

W.A.A. Board To Give Annual Dance May 11
Party Will Be Semi-Formal Advance Announcement
Plans are being perfected by the women of the W. A. A. board for its annual dance to be given in Robinson Gymnasium May 11.
The party is to be semi-formal as to dress for men and women, but there is to be nothing half-way about the music and the decorations which will be far above the average standard.
Special attractions are to be introduced at the dance.

Veteran Publisher Puts New Life Into Students' Interest in Literature
William W. Ellsworth of Century Co. Addresses Department of Journalism
Learn to Write by Writing
American Publishers Declared Always on Lookout for Author of Promise
"The only way to learn to write so that any one will read you is to write; nulla dies sine laeva." American periodical literature is very plentiful. Power since the world began has the widest and so many periodicals to chose from.
"There are few people who would not like to have the power to write and to write so that other people would like to read them," said William Winnaworth in his lecture on "All the Things That You Need" in the national lecture room this afternoon.
Mr. Ellsworth was with the Century Company thirty-seven years and was for three years its president. During the years that he was connected with this distinctly American publishing house he became intimately acquainted with the growth of our national literature. Many of the fore-leres of America are his personal friends including Mark Twain, Thomas Nelson Page, Bret Harte, Helen Hunt Jackson and Winston Churchill.
Mr. Ellsworth is acquainted with almost every magazine published. He said it is not unusual to pay $20,000 to $20,000 for a serial of a well-known writer whose books are great sellers. "You don't have to read very far to learn the manuscript and the new writer with the mastery of the prodical son," said Mr. Ellsworth in encouragement to the journalism students.
Mr. Ellsworth's lecture was a real pulmotor. He awakened the imagination and the interest in things literary with word scenes taken from the lives of writers and from the editorial rooms he has known intimately.
"You can almost guess who started the first American Magazine," said Mr. Ellsworth. "Of course, it was Benjamin Franklin who was the originator of more new ideas than any other man who ever lived." And then in a reference to the effect of "Trilby" on the American people he said: "There were 'Trilby' hats and 'Trilby' shoes. A mother wrote to the publisher, asking what made her sad that her daughter was desperately ill, but with a few weeks to live, but she must know how 'Trilby' came out. The final chapters were sent to the girl, and before the appearance of the magazine containing them she had passed on where Du Maurier, the author was soon to go."
Woman's Swimming Meet Will Be Held May 7
Juniors Appear to Have Good Team This Year—Seniors Also Strong
The woman's annual spring swimming meet will be held May 7 at 7:30 o'clock at night in the pool in Robinson Gymnasium. The special event of the meet this year will be speed swimming. Last year diving was featured but the speed material is so promising that it will be the big event. However, all kinds of strokes will be used and there will be ten or twelve representatives from each class.
The junior class is placing high hopes in Edith Banks as their diver, Elizabeth Carnie was their champion last year.
The captains who were elected last week are getting their teams ready. At present the dope on the junior team places Maurine Clark, whose swimming greatly resembles that of Helen Wagstaff in last year's contests, at the top. Josephine Shaffer, on the freshman team, uses the Auschwitz camp and is a promising candidate. Although there are many promising swimmers this year in each class, the sophomores will feel the loss of Mateel Finch and Blanch Dorsett, when the seniors will miss Marie Deibel.

The Daily Kansan aims to pick up graduate life of the University of Kansas than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University places on its students to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to educate the students of the University.

THE HARDER THING TO DO
Many men in the University know well that in a few months or even weeks they must take their places in the lowest ranks of the National Army. They are attending to the business that is required of them against the day of their call to the most unusual and most necessary duty of their lives and all American lives.
Someone has got to carry the gun. All cannot wear leather legs and spurs. And it takes intelligence as well as strength of body to be an American soldier of the line. As things are, the American between 21 and 31 is expected to go as he is called, go where he is called, and do whatever is required of him there. Opportunities to "volunteer" are limited for such men. In any event the more dangerous, the hardier duty is bound to begin in such places as Funston and then be carried further across the sea.
War is adventure with the volunteer when he plunges into it. War is a business that comes as recognized obligation to displace the ordinary business of life for the selected man.-He fears nothing. He shirks nothing. He is ready when the time is set. He does the harder thing to do; he keeps the workaday*world going until he has to lay down his tools of peace and take up the weapons of war.
The University of Kansas man is doing more than just maintaining the common living and working every day demands to fulfill his chosen purpose. He is preparing to serve his community just as every Kansan has done, in college or not, in years gone by. Such Kansans have built the state of today.
But that K. U. man is a Kansas in a bigger way just now. He is getting ready for fighting as well as for better living and working after the fighting is done. He has got to fight first. He knows that in order to live he must fight. He carries a gun. He studies tactics. He applies the special sciences to the needs of war. And doing all, he has the longest day's work ever done in any university or on most farms. He works while he waits. He will be ready.
THE TASK OF AMERICA
It is difficult to understand why the Germans have been able consistently to push back the allied forces in the recent drive on the western front. Many believe that the Huns have made a super-effort, entailing losses they could ill afford, in order to bring the war to a close before the Americans could get an army into action. The Allies, in the opinion of many newspapers, have allowed the Germans to 'push them back because it was possible to inflict greater punishment on the enemy with him on the offensive, than would have been possible with the allied armies making a drive against German strongholds.
Such a theory, at first consideration, appears plausible, but upon reflection it seems highly improbable that the allied commanders would give up, in three weeks, nearly all the territory gained in two years of fighting, if it had been possible to hold that territory against the German drive. English and American newspapers have been slow to admit the fact, but it is probable contrary to general supposition, that the Germans, instead of the Allies, have a preponderance of men on the western front, for it is hardly conceivable that Germany would be making such sacrifices if she did not have the men to spare.
One usually thinks of the Allies as having a greater combined population than the central powers, and consequently considers them superior in man power to the Teutonic nations. This was true at the beginning of the war and held true until the collapse of Russia, but since the withdrawal of the Russian armies the preponderance of men has been with the Germans.
The Russian catastrophe, to begin with, released an army of nearly two million men, which has been withdrawn from the Russian frontier and thrown against the Allies on the west. In the second place, Germany, since the withdrawal of Russia, is backed up by an inexhaustible reservoir of Slav labor. This enables her to take many men out of industry and put them into the trenches. Every man thus taken from industry can be replaced if necessary by two laborers imported from Russia.
This makes it possible for Germany to throw nearly her entire man power into the trenches without seriously hampering her industries. The Allies cannot spare so many men from industry, for although Great Britain has men in her colonies sufficient, under capable supervision, to man her industries, these men are far away and, with the present shortage of ships, it is impossible to get them to Europe.
The surrender of Russia thus throws the advantage on the side of Germany, and the Allies may be forced to give up still other territory before the United States gets enough men on the battle line to throw the preponderance of numbers on the side of the western powers. The problem of the war now rests with America, and it will not be solved until this country, to its least citizen, casts aside everything else, and applies all its energy to the conservation of its resources, the organization of its industries, and the training of its men for the conflict.
MADE IN GERMANY
For many years that little trademark, "Made in Germany," stamped on a knife, razor, dish or toy has been a guarantee of the high quality of the article so marked. Americans bought German manufactured goods whenever possible, for not only were those goods sure to be satisfactory, but the prices were moderate also. Teutonic factories were large and labor was cheap. The latter fact explains why even hand-made goods, which Americans wanted, were inexpensive.
With the beginning of the war, however, Germany remodeled her factories to turn out necessities for the war. She no longer spent her time and her resources making fancy pocket knives, porcelain ware, dolls and drums, and other nations had to look elsewhere for such articles. They must continue to do so, at least until the end of the war. By that time other nations will be equipped to supply their own needs along these lines. This will make is unnecessary to turn to Germany for such goods.
But this is not the greatest, not the principal barrier that will cut off
the trade of Germany from the rest of the world. The barrier that will be hardest to surmount will be that of world hatred, which in itself, for years to come, will be sufficient to isolate Germany from the rest of the world.

CAMPUS OPINION
Editor. Daily Kansan.
Through errors in notices and through some rather amusing conclusions drawn by a certain "Observer," the integrity of the "powers that be" in K. U. tennis seems to be questioned.
The system used this year in selecting the team is so simple and so time-honored that I was rather surprised the team understood it. In brief it follows:
By preliminary tryout all the better players were to be placed on the Varsity squad. Each member of the squad was to play each other member at least one match of three sets each week. All the scores of these matches were to be handed to the captain at the end of each week. At the end of each week, the captain was, by direct play with the men and by the results of the weekly scores, to place these men in the order of their standing. The names were to be posted in the training house every day, and with the highest standing after two or three weeks of play were to be taken to one of the Kansas City clubs to receive additional practice with Kansas City players before the intercollegiate matches started. The team was not to be definitely picked until the week before the Missouri-Kansas dual journey.
Any man in the University eligible for Varsity, who thought himself a better player than any member of the squad could challenge that member, any time before May 10, to a two out fight. But Mr. Baldwin said this, it entitled him to a place on the squad to compete with the other members for the team.
The plan is working admirably, so far, as it has worked in many other schools. It practically eliminates partiality, because the best man is bound to win a round robin play of this sort. The preliminaries eliminated no one, because anyone misjudged can, by defeating any member of the squad before May 10, automatically put himself on the sound.
The tennis management is anxious to receive helpful suggestions along any phase of its work. What it wants is co-operation. Knocks won't help suggestions will. We've got to beat Missouri.

Lucky Couple Friday Will Receive Prize At Big Beauty Ball
Party
One Program to Contain $10:
Frolic Is Feature of
One couple attending the Jayhawker Beauty Ball in Robinson Gymnasium, Friday night is to get well paid for having a good time, according to the plans for a stunt announced this month. Don Davis, manager of the party.
Two five-dollar bills will be placed in two programs; and the programs will be tied together. Then they will be placed with the rest of the programs in one of the baskets to be used by four small children who will give out programs. As the couples at the party march in the Grand March, and are given programs, some lucky couple will draw the $10.
To prevent any "frame-up" on the stunt, Mr. Davis, will present the two five-dollar bills to Prof. G. C. Loud, of the department of journalism faculty, before the Grand March begins. Mr. Loud will then insert the bills in a pocket and turn the backpack over to the children who will hand out the programs.
Rehearsals for the midnight frolic are being held every afternoon at 5 o'clock on the first floor of Robinson Gymnastics; and on Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock there will be a big fine rehearsal with the six-piece student orchestra which is to play for the show. The frolic is the feature of the party, and has a cast of twelve and a chorus of fifty-two.
It was learned yesterday that the performance of "Very Good, Eddie" originally scheduled at the Bowersocks for Friday night, will not be given. The date was cancelled by the producing company, and the show was taken off the road to be sent on a tour of the "Liberty Theaters" at the various cantonments over the country.

University Pins Hopes On Haddock for Points In Pentatholn at Penn
Entrant Strong in 200, Discus and Broad Jump—Weak In Javelin Throw
But it is the work which Haddock will do in the pentathlon that interests the K. U. track followers. It is the first time that a Kansas athlete has been entered in this event. Haddock is strong in the 200-meter race, his time in the 220-yard dash being around the 23-second mark. The 220-diamond dash in slightly longer than the 200-meter race. Last year, Berry the winner of the pentathlon ran the 200-meters in 23-2-5 seconds.
Rice expects to break his record in the high jump, for he has been doing 6 feet 1 inch in practice recently in spite of the cold weather. Last year he placed two to Larsen, of Brigham Young, who cleared the bar at 6 feet 5-3-8 inches. Rice has been doing some good work in the javelin, hurling the spear 145 and 150 feet in practice.
Rice Good in High Jump
Carl Rice and Marshall Haddock will leave tonight for Philadelphia, where they will be entered in the Penn Relay games April 26 and 27. Rice will compete in the high jump and javelin while Haddock will run in the 100-yard dash and enter the pentathlon and discuss.
The discus is another strong point for.Haddock, for he has thrown it 110 feet many times and the best Berry could do last year was 100 feet $7\%$ inches. Haddock is also a fair brond jumper, his best being about 19 feet 6 inches. Berry made it a foot better last year. The javelin throw is a weak point for Haddock. His best distance is about 140 feet and the winner of the pentathlon last season threw it 145 feet $2\%$ inches.
Two Athletes Leave Tonight for Philadelphia—First Experience in Pentathlon
The 1,500-meter race will not be a strong event for Haddock, because he is not a distance runner. Berry finished it in 4:29 4-5 last spring, making it about a 4:50 mile. This is slow for a mile race, but for many of the competitors in the pentathlon it is a matter of lasting the race. Anyway, the University is expecting great things from the Rosedale high school boy.

UNIFORM FITTED BY GUESS
We got our clothing weft today.
And it certainly is some outfit. Everything from boots to a cap ribbon. We get three caps, six sets of underclothing, four suits, gloves, jersey, three jumpers, overcant, shoes, towels, and about a dozen other things. They have a unique way of fitting us with uniforms, which has many advantages. Four suits are around the room in a white, shivering line, each of us has to step up on a drygoods box. During the few seconds we are up there a sailor takes our measure exactly with his eye and throws a uniform at us. How is that for efficiency? Before you answer you should see how some of the suits
fit. I got a comfortable pair of shoes.
I saw one K. U. man yesterday.
He was Joe Pratt, an old Kansan man and stopshot on last year's Varsity.
There are many more K. U. men here and I am anxious to see them all.
We had two vaccinations and one inoculation for typhoid today. Everyone is howling about his sore arms and I am certainly doing my share. The inoculations we used to take at school were nothing but little, pleasant diversions, but these in the navy have the kick.
DRESSES FORTE TIMES A DAY I'll bet I have dressed and undressed forty times today. I need practice though, for these uniforms are way out of date. I believe there is enough cloth between my knees and my shoepots to make one good English suit. Without a belt and garters, I feel as if I had lost all visible means of support.
Our food is well cooked and there is plenty of it, but Uncle Sam could get some valuable lessons in selection from some Jewell county women I know.
Well, it is bedtime or 8:45—and must vault for my hammock.

Ames Stages Comeback; Takes Second Game From Jayhawkers,8-2
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 24, 1918.
Defeat of Kansas is Credited to Loose Playing of Infield
Today's Game is Canceled
Ruble and Marquis Came From Rosedale to Form Kansas Battery
Ames took the second of the three game series with Kansas Tuesday by an 8 to 2 score with hard hitting and the advantage of the errors made by the Jayhawk infield. Ams started the scoring in the first inning when they made four runs on two hits, two walks, and two errors.
Mirl Ruble and "Doc" Marquis came down from Rosedale and formed the Kansas battery. Ruble pitched a fair game and would have held the Ames nine to a low score had he received any support from the Kansas infield. The Kansas were not hitting at the right time. Oyster tripled in the fifth sending Isenberger over the plate with the first run for Kansas. Kansas came back for another run in the next inning when Weltner singled sending Cherry over with the other Kansas run.
Brotherlin played a good game for Ames getting one hit, three walks and three runs. Shellite got a pair of timely singles. The Ames infield looked good. DeForest, the star twirler on the Ames staff got away good, allowing Kanaas six hits. Ames staged a rally in the eighth getting three runs on two two-base hits, a single and two errors.
There will be no game this afternoon as McCook Field is too wet. The Ames nine left at 11:00 o'clock. The game has been canceled and will not be played according to W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics.

K. U. Bond Purchases Almost Double Quota
Subscriptions of $27,450 Reported by U. G. Mitchell For Committee
Subscriptions for the Third Liberty Loan on the Hill reached a total of $27,450 this morning or almost double the quota of 15,000.
"Practically every man and woman on the faculty has been seen," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, who is leading the campaign. "Everybody is willing; there are no slackers. Some have not been able to take any because they are still paying on large amounts taken on the first or second issues."
A few employees are yet to be seen and it is hoped that it will be possible to bring the total up to $30,000 doubling the quota. As far as is known very few students have subscribed and no effort has been made to get their students enrolled. We had come to the front on the Red Cross campaign which starts soon.
Mr. Klooz will take subscriptions at the business office and those who have already subscribed may pay instead of at the banks, if they sh.

English Sparrow Pie Is Fine, Says Martin
Howver has a stamчщ ally in Handel Martin, curator of the Museum, who has for one of his favorite dishes English sparrow pie. In Nottingham, England, Mr. Martin's boyhood home this dish was rather common and from an old pastor there he learned the way to prepare the dish. To be its very best the pie should contain thirteen birds. All bony parts should be cut out and be served the small meal out under meat, they will be cooked with some bacon and a thick crust, similar to the baking of a beef pie.
Mr. Martin says he has killed this common and diminutive game with fine shot or caught them in large areas in their roosting places in hay-stacks.
At the rate of thirteen to a pie the cause of Fraser would provide for a banquet.

Women's Glee Club Applies for an Ange
Money for Only Forty for Fun ston Trip—Severity In
Club
The K. U. Women's Glee Club wants an "angel." There are seventy members in the club and the club has only money enough to take forty to Camp Funston to give patriotic concerts for the soldiers.
The club met in Fraser Chapel Tuesday night. Marie Buchanan, manager, appointed a committee of four to devise a plan of raising funds to take a full-size club to Funston. It was announced at the meeting that the club would be invited today. This list, however, was objected to by University authorities as containing the names of students who are ineligible.
The club, or as many of the club as possible, will go to Funston, May 3, where they will give at least three hours on Monday night and one Saturday afternoon.
The National Convention of Phi Beta Pi, honorary Medical fraternity, will be held in Kansas City May 1, 2, 3. On May 2 the local chapter will entertain the delegates here at Prairie High School at Praternal Aid Hall. A special Interurban will be chartered to bring the guests from Kansas City.

Lieut. Ziesenis To Funston
Six men signed an apology today. It was for a stunt six youngsters, just kids in their youthful exuberance, e, put on the other night. There wasn't anything particularly bad about the stunt, outside of its thoughtlessness. There is a whole lot that is commendable in the manly way the six have sought to make amends. Things like that help make K. U, better every day. There's only one musty taste in the whole little affair. That comes from two representatives to write down from the worthy screened. The label of that reads weakly: "Well, I don't see why they want to stir up a fuss about that. There have been lots worse stunts and nothing done about it." If that is true, when then, gentle sister, could a start be made for better and better things and do you really enjoy such serenades?
KIDS THEN-MEN NOW.
Student Council Gets Apology of Serenaders
Rudolf Uhrlaub, president of the Men's Student Council, obtained a written apology today from the six men who gave an objectionable serenade in front of a sorority house the night of April 14. The apology is to be sent to the sorority and the incident closed, so far as the sorority and the student council is concerned, Uhrlaub said. The apology follows:
Wednesday.
April 24,
1918
Send the Daily Kansan Bome.
Lest anything of this sort should ever happen again and the good name of the University should be endangered we respectfully offer an apology to you, the only sorority we visited the night of April 14, 1918. Realizing the song we sung was not affable nor in accordance with the spirit of the student body of the University, we regret that the event occurred. We do however beg to be heard and thanked for only one sorority and that the other outrages spoken of in The Daily Kansan were not committed by us and furthermore that this is the only occasion we have committed such an offense.
We respectfully wish to beg an apology.
With respect,
"They came up to the mark like real men," Urlaub said this afternoon. "They said they had acted thoughtlessly and were sorry for it and willing to make any proper amends. They made the apology fully and freely. They surely did the white thing and the decent thing. It's a mighty good spirit that prompts men to act that way. I'm proud of the way they stepped up and took their medicine. A few days ago, I was told that things will stop and think now, and we'll have a more and more real University, spirit among the students.
R. V. Cook, of Pittsburg, who has been an instructor in gymnasium since the first semester, has accepted a position as government chemist and will leave for Washington, D. C., Friday. Mr. Cook was doing graduate work in chemistry and held a fellowship in the department of chemistry until last fall, when he resigned to take charge of the men's morning gym classes. Bernard Jensen will take charge of these classes next week.
"I don't think the affair was real bad at all. I'm sure it wasn't. There have been many worse things that no one ever mentioned. But we can't have such things happening in the University of Kansas, I believe every University man and woman will agree, if they stop and think about it. The serenade was just crude, rough and thoughtless, but University men are not the kind of men to do crude, rough and thoughtless stunts. Especially when you do crude with a University student and get away with it. The student body won't permit it. And I believe these six fellows who apologized, these six men who weren't afraid to do the white and manly thing—I'm for 'em strong, all six of 'em—will say the same thing. So say we all."
Next Lecture Is On May 8
The next date for a lecture on Food and the War, was erroneously announced for May 1. This is a regular day for Gym work. The date of the next lecture is May 8 and not May 1 as previously announced. E. D. Teoret.

Engineers to Display Handicraft of School On Their Day, May 10
Service Flag of Five Hundred Stars to Be Raised as Part of Ceremonies
The Annual Engineers' Day this year will be observed Friday, May 10 There will be no big parade as in former years on account of the expense, but the program will consist of stunts and an exhibition of the work of each department in the School of Engineering. The exhibit will be held in Marvin Hall and will be open to the public in the afternoon and evening.
The definite plans for the day which are being arranged by a committee composed of Joe Mahan, George Dee w. W. B. Brown, Page Wagner, H. Gish, and Faye Walters, will be announced later.
It will not be a quiet affair, engineers declare, since they intend to let the rest of the University and the town know that May 10 is their day. They will be a clown band which will parade the campus and Massachusetts street.
The service flag of the School of Engineering will be an important feature of the day. The flag has a border of red about the white field on which will be the number "500" formed by stars, and around the field of stars will be the number "500" has already begun on the erection of a flag pole on Marvin Hall, and as soon as the flag comes it will be raised.

Gum Chewing Gums Professional Nerves
"Its chewing gum a necessity or a luxury? If a necessity, is it a necessity in public places, including University class room?"
"You don't need to write a 7-minute quiz on this," said Prof. W. M. Duffus, as he turned to his class in commercial geography, after writing the foregoing paragraph on the blackboard.
"There's a reason. It is hard on professorial nerves to lecture fifty minutes to an audience of which a greater or less percentage is engaged in the persecution of gum chewing in the perception, lazily, contentedly, nervously.
"Gum possesses a powerful influence over the mind of mankind."
Plain Tales From The Hill
WEATHER NOTE
Lawrence, April 24—Rain which fell here early this morning, continued until late in the day, causing a drop in student funds but a popularity in cab transportation.
He (a fraternity sophomore), "That fellow over there is going to sell us our new furniture when we get—"
She (a very popular freshman).
"Oh sweetness, where did you get the net
He (continuing), "When we get our new fraternity house built."
Conversation between the Home-
mom Co-ed and the freshman home on a
weekend.
"You do still love me?" "Yes."
"And you haven't fallen in love with any one up at K. U." N.Y.
"Do you love me as much as ever?" "Yes."
"And will you always love me?" "Yes."
"And there's no one else?" "No."
"How can you sit there and lie so?"
The instructor said:
It was Friday afternoon on a warm day when the students and teacher were half asleep. When the weary teacher turned his back to use the blackboard, two students sitting near the door sneaked out. It would have worked well but one student shut the door on her coat and could not release it. Finally in deserption she knocked on the door.
"It was all right for you to go but I don't see how I would ever get away when all of you were not looking, and you leave as bad or worse than you do."
Then the whistle blew.
Mr. Ellsworth Closes Visit at K.U.With Talk at Varsity Club
Head of Century Co. Makes Big Impression on Students and Faculty
The talk given by William Webster Ellsworth, president of the Century Publishing Company, New York City, last night before the University Club, was, according to the members, the most interesting talk of the year. Mr. Ellsworth's subject, "Forty Years of Publishing," covered a period of forty years of actual work in the publishing business.
For instance, Mark Twain had such an imagination that his statements had to be discounted. He did not intend to prevaricate, but in telling a humorous story he would let his masters know it. It is a better story than it really was.
Mr. Ellsworth gave an idea of the ridiculously small sums for which writers formerly sold their work. Stevenson once sold a story to the Century Company for $100, while recently a letter written by him to his mother telling of that particular sale, was sold for $250.
"The decade from 1850 to 1860" said Mr. Ellsworth, "was the most productive age in my experience. In that period the most important writers were Thackeryar, Carlyle, and Tennyson."

University of Kansas Will Train 160 Men From National Army
Men Will Be Given Thorough Training Along Technical Lines
Will Arrive About June 1
K. U. Professors Will Have Charge of Most of Work
It has been tentatively affirmed by Dean Potter of the Agricultural College, School of Engineering, that the University of Kansas will become a training camp for 160 drafted men, this summer. It is the plan to give the men training—along technical lines. According to Dean G. C. Shaad of the School of Engineering, there will be sixty men trained in automobile work, twenty in blacksmithing, eighteen in carpentry, fifty in wireless telegraphy, and the remaining other mechanical lines. It is planned to use U.S. university professors as far as possible in mens men, but according to Dean Shaad it is probable that an instructor will have to be brought in from the outside to instruct the men in automobile work.
The men will be under an officer of the United States army and will be under military discipline while at the University. It is planned now that a new commander and fed in the gymnasium. It is designed that they will arrive about June 1.
Dean Potter of the State Agricultural College, has charge of a territory including Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, New Mexico, and North South Dakota. Other Universities and technical schools in this territory will probably follow the same plan of training men this summer.
Cast Has Completed Final Touches For "Fifty-Fifty" Tonight
Professor MacMurray Confident Of Comedy as Laugh Producer
Riddles has asked his last conundrum; his associates have stalled their last answers. Blake has growled his villainous threats for the last time; the hero, Dick, has frustrated the last adverse happening. The leading woman and her companion had been to entice their unsuspecting men further the final, that is, until the production at the Bowersock Theater.
The stage is set and ready for "Fifty-Fifty" tonight. The scenery is ready, and the final practice of the cast has been held. At 8 o'clock the symphony orchestra will begin a concert and the curtain will rise at 8:30.
"I am confident that the comedy will appear as a finished production," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, coach, this morning. "The actors have been working hard and are exerting themselves in parts. The play is a laugh producer: The spectacular and spirited ending alone will be worth the admission."
Petitions for Council Due By Thursday Noon
Fee of Seventy-Five Cents Must Be Filed With Petition
"All candidates for offices in the spring election, to be held April 30, must have their petitions fled not later than Thursday noon, April 25." He said today by Rudolph Uhrlaub, acting president of the Men's Student Council.
It was formerly announced that these petitions, which must be filed with either the president or secretary of the Student Council, should be in the proper hands by Friday, April 26, 6 o'clock.
For several reasons the change had to be made and candidates should bear this change in mind so as to avoid any conflicts with petitions.

K. U., ART, AND ARTISTS
After numerous successes by artists of the University of Kansas, it must be conceded that there is a subtle something about the half-century-old institution on Mount Oread that deserves recognition—that grips these men and holds them here when better financial inducements tempt them to go elsewhere.
Julian Street recognized this rare fascination when, in an article in Collier's several years ago, he called Lawrence the Boston of the West. He stayed less than a day at the University of Kansas and left fascinated with the institution.
He found here a classical museum, a library, and a School of Fine Arts that in all their features, with the possible exception of size, met the standards of Boston. He found also that atmosphere which fascinates and inspires the poet, the composer, and other artists.
Be that fascination what it may, it has given the University the poets, Wattles and Carruth. Under its spell Arthur Nevin listened to his muse, and was about bringing the whole state into the muse's shrine when Uncle Sam called him to take charge of the music in a northern training camp.
The same fascination has overbalanced in the case of Professors Skilton and Preyer, the advantages of more lucrative calls from the East and from the Far West. Both of these men are composers of national fame, and the Alpha of appreciation is expressed in recognition of this subtle something that has held them to K. U. when such orchestra leaders as Emil Oberhoffer of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra places on his program as a soloist to play his own compositions our own Professor Preyer.
HINDENBURGING THE LILACS
The time has come for a brotherhood movement of the University community, for a great, communal, co-operative effort, almost holy in its thoroughness and sweeping effectiveness. The time has come for it and only by co-operative effort can we accomplish this new work that is ready to our hands. We have finished our bit in the third Liberty Loan, gone over the top, as it were, gloriously and now is the time to join in one great, all-embracing movement and wipe out the University's illac hedge. We can do it. Truly we can do it. But we must cooperate to do it with thorough artistry. Sporadic efforts a dozen times a day by small groups will not accomplish it. At best they only make the iliacs look ragged and shabby. We must get together in a great co-operative spirit to destroy the hedge entirely. Some few score of us are
doing valiant Iron Cross work on the hedge. The man who came in a Ford and attacked it one day last week made great gaps in the branches. The ladies who make repeated raids against it deserve honorable mention for their work. But they alone cannot do it all, although they are striving nobly. The rest of us iliac slackers must join them. We must get together, everybody; and help them in their efforts to Hindenburg the beautiful illiac hedge on the east edge of the campus.
According to the Kansas City Star, Sir Eric Geddes, in announcing the British raid on the German U-boat bases, told Parliament that "five of these cruisers, filled with concrete, were used as block ships and after being run around were, in accordance with orders, blown up and abandoned by the crews." It was a mere oversight on Sir Eric's part, no doubt, that the men were compelled to wait till the ships were bwn up before they were allowed to abandon them.
OUR ENEMY, SUNDAY DINNER
These days of food conservation and Hooverization have seemingly done nothing to abolish the Sunday surfeit. Practically every student sits down each Sunday before a table crowded with rich food and gorges himself until he reaches a state of torpor, then spends the rest of the afternoon weighted with a feeling of utter uselessness. The effects of the gluttonish repaint survive till next day—bence, "Blue Monday."
Aside from the unwholesome effects of such a meal, the food wasted on Sunday is a factor not to be lost sight of, particularly in such a time as this. This is a matter in which every boarding house, club, and fraternity is concerned. A change from the weekly routine of food is of course expected on Sunday, and it may be given by preparing a different sort of food than is usually served, instead of the customary over-abundance.
WOMEN AND THE WAR
IT'S FASHINOABLE TO BE SHABBY
IT'S FASHIONABLE
"It is considered bad form in England today for women to appear in a new costume," said Prof. Stoughton Holborn, of Oxford University, speaking recently in Washington. Women of the upper classes are wearing again this season the suits purchased in 1913 before the war. All Parisiennes are wearing slippers and low-cut shoes to aid in economizing in leather.
A School of Massage in Toronto, under government supervision, opened as a war measure to meet the demands arising through the present war, offers a new opportunity for war work for women. The school offers a six-months' course of training in many branches of physical therapy, free with $25 a month pay. After finishing the course, graduates work in Canadian hospitals at $55 a month.
One of the greatest needs of the war is women workers for the industries necessary to maintain the army. Women munitions workers are easy to find, probably because of the high wages paid, but few women can be found to work in factories which produce cloth, uniforms, canned goods, and so forth.
The government is still calling for stenographers and typewriters, and women especially are urged to undertake this office work. Examinations are held every Tuesday and applications may be filed with the Civil Service Commission at Washington at any time.
One hundred and fifty French orphans have been adopted by clerks in two of the government departments in Washington. One of these children is being cared for by the charwomen of the Agricultural Department. Statistics show that 60,000 people in the United States are now in personal contact with as many French children and their families.

The drives over the University campus are in urgent need of repair. At each crossing there is a jump and a bump every time that a car passes. In several places there are holes in the road that could easily be repaired. Possibly these in charge of the grounds do not possess a car.
CAMPUS OPINION
Many of the people of Lawrence stay clear of the University campus because of its bad crossings. Compare the rough, bumpy drives of the University campus with those of Haskell Institute.

Every One Deserves Something
Millions of men and boys are no more Before the relentless drive of war. Their wills and minds and bodies still tremble in desperation But somewhere the mothers' hearts
THE WAR MOTHERS
Over and over again their minds repeat
And memories of their boys, nee'r forsaking.
Emma Dill Geselbracht
When and how and where shall we ever meet?
Ah! the deep, deep thots of those mothers of today
But somewhere the mothers' hearts are breaking
As they think of their sons so far away.
On the ache of it! Oh the pain of it!
As millions of mothers patiently work
and knit.
Thru the long nights and the busy days
Come the thots of his little prattling ways,
In those days of hearth and sunny door.
When he only played soldier and war,
Many the mothers' visions for her
What he might be when a man full-
grown!
He was always her hope, her pride
her iov.
No matter how big or old—her boy!
Ah! that first day he lisped his
baby.
And with totering steps to her knee he came.
Oh the ache of it! Oh the pain of it! As millions of mothers patiently work and knit.
From the child's infancy on day by day
Millions of mothers are left behind Who'll never forget or heart-ease find.
They'll recollect and recall,—but little say
And when consciousness hurls the bitter gall.
At night will come dreams so clear
Their own boy's voice again they'll hear.
That somewhere, somewhere, greed made him fall.
Her lips will utter an agonizing prayer,
The heart, it's wound to patiently bear.
And the living shall seek the tales of the brave
The dead shall be honored by song and art
Oh the ache of !'! Oh the pain of it!
Oh the mother of mother patiently work
and knits.
As the years pass, and peace returns to the heart.
"It is important, dad, not to wear baggy trousers."
Will sorrow and honor, forget per-
perhs, with busy lives.
days sweep by and time surges on,
the garment of the past, her soul
will don.
Who died where stern duty the way did pave.
Fathers, brothers, sisters, children and wives
There is a yearning to which nothing can give rest.
But deep down in the mother's aching breast
.
"Why is it that you have to spend so much time in creasing your pants, hey?" shouted pater familias.
"I import them?  Oh, it is, is it? Did you ever see a statue to a famous man who didn't wear baggy pants?"—Puck.
Oh the ache of it! Oh the pain of it! As millions of mothers patiently work and knit.

Candy being composed principally of sugar, chocolate and nuts, is very high in food value. The Food Administration realizes this, and does not ask people to stop eating candy.

Home Service Class Is Doing Good Work
Dean F. W. Blackmar at Head of Work for Families of Schooling
Soldiers
The training in the home service section of the Red Cross conducted by Dean F. W. Blackmar, is gradually getting into practical work. The principle of this work is to care for the soldiers and sailors in the service.
The principal work at present is to give advice regarding allotment, allowance, and insurance. The law of October 6, 1917, is a practical agreement of the federal government to take care of the families of the men in service. The home service section assists the men and their families to obtain the benefits of these laws.
The section supplements the work of the federal government wherein it is needed, in providing for families in emergencies. There are thirty-two members of this class who will receive sufficient training to prepare them to take up the work in their jobs after they leave the University.
An office is maintained at 5 East 9th Street. The office hours are from 3 to 5 o'clock daily.
Names of Beaux Art

At 2:45 o'clock Church Dillon, manager of the Capper Farm Publications, will speak on Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock C. M. Harger will talk on "Women in Magazine Writing" in Myers Hall.
During the convention there will be an exhibit of the published works and pictures of honorary members of Theta Sigma Phi. In this collection are the books of many women, which have made a good beginning for a Theta Sigma Phi library for the chapter here.
University Will Offer Special War Courses For Summer Session
Term Runs from June 3 to July 12 and July 15 to August 9
Special war courses with University credit will be offered in the summer session this year. Many of these are regular courses which will remain unchanged in name although they will be so modified as to include information concerning our present national situation. This is especially true of the courses especially designed for our area. We Relief and Home Service, Military Science, Origin of the Great, and Present-day Latin America.
It is also expected that non-credit courses in home economics will be offered to help in understanding the techniques to prepare workers to meet that situation.
The first term of summer session will begin June 4 and close July 12. The second term will begin July 15 and close August 9.
"Students desiring to shorten the normal four years of a college career and so enter sooner into their professional or business lift, should feel that the summer session is not a school separate and distinct from the regular 9-months course, but rather a continuation of it," said Dean F. J. Kelly, of the School of Education, this morning. "We are overseeing it to utilize the three summer months which they usually spend in pleasure and affords them a chance to prepare themselves sooner for work in which the nation needs them."

Charles Dillon Talks on After-War Literature For Theta Sigma Phi
Short Story Driving Novel to Back Shelf Says Editor of Capper Publications
M. Dillon says that the day of the short story has arrived and the novel is taking a back shelf. War has brought into special prominence the short story of the magazines and papers.
"Don't describe me as a fat man, said Charles Dillon in an interview this morning, "I was described about eight years ago as a fat man by the Kansan when here at the same time he was born. In his third day lived down that reputation. want it distinctly understood that am not fat, and never was."
Mr. Dillon is talking to the journalism classes this morning and this afternoon at 2:45 o'clock he talked before the Theta Sigma Phi convention at Myers Hall. Mr. Dillon spoke on "Women in Journalism," considering more particularly the future of literature after the war. He discussed literature from all standpoints including the book, the magazine and the newspaper.

Crusty's Ghost Makes Hamlet of the Crab
Only one man dares to sleep on the sleeping porch of the University Club and he is known to the club and community by the now famous name of Crusty. Not that he is anything like that, his fireside companions at the club say, but rather that he simply had to be called something and he liked this name and encouraged it. Every night at sharp 11:30 o'clock he gathers his long samite robes about him, enholds in white.—No 12 slippers—and slowly, solemnly stalks to rest.
Crusty has stuck it alone all winter without sympathy but with frequent revenges. His long, gaunt, ghostly figure has shot slumber out of terrified men who lay awake and breathed hard to see him slide by their open doors. The Crab, now almost as deserving of fame as the original Crusty, got the worst scare not many nights ago. "Speak!--for Heaven's sake speak!" the Crab gasped like Hamlet or anybody else who ever saw anything like Crusty ready for the porch.
'Aw shut up and gimme a match!'
growled Crusty.
The War Here and Over There
GERMANS HIT AT AMIENS
GEMANS HIT AT AMIENS
The Germans have gained about a mile and are now nearing Amiens. Hun artillery is preparing the way for an infantry attack in the Robecq and Merville sectors.
An increase in the shipping program planned for the next few years has been decided on by the shipping board.
A Dutch newspaper announces that the Dutch and German ministers have left Berlin and Amsterdam, respectively, on account of the war crisis.
Air observers report that the mole at Zeebrugge was blown in two by the British cruisers which raided that port yesterday.
John D. Ryan, a prominent copper magnate, railroad man and financier has been named by Secretary Baker as head of the government aircraft board. Mr. Ryan takes the place of Howard Coffin.
Dr. Herman Rosemeir, former editor of the Berlin Post, predicts a social revolution in Germany.
Germany's losses in the war are estimated at 4,225,000 men, of whom 2,500,000 are dead. She still has 4, 805,000 men available.
An Oklahoma Congressman has asked the government to pay farmers $300,000,000 profits claimed to have been lost through the regulation of wheat prices.
1918 Graduating Class Is Smaller Than Usual
School of Medicine Alone Keeps Up Numbers in Spite of War Conditions
Applications for degrees have already been filed by nearly all seniors eligible for degrees, but Registrar George O. Foster, usher students who may be eligible to come to his office at once to check over their grades and make application for a degree if the records show one is due.
Germans are now using dye in their gas shells to stain their shell craters and thus warn Germans to keep clear of them as they advance. The gas hangs in craters for hours after the shell has exploded.
The number of graduates from the University of Kansas this year, particularly in the College, the School of Engineering, and the School of Law, will be much smaller than usual, due to the abnormal conditions. The number of medical students to be graduated this year is about the same as that recently enlisted in the enrollment, the class next year probably will show an increase.
The number of degrees applied for this year in the College is 175, while last year about 230 degrees were granted. Twenty-nine applications for degrees have been made from the School of Engineering, ten from the School of Medicine, and twenty-two from the School of Law.
Senior Class Presents Student Play, "50-50," Before Crowded House
Student Life on Mount Oread is Vividly Portrayed; Acting Is Excellent
Local Hits Bring Laughs
Interest Sustained to Final Bon fire and Singing of Crimson and Blue
"Fifty-Fifty" was greeted by the University Wednesday night as a clever comedy typical of college life and lively in its humor and presentation. The audience, which entirely filled the theater, was kept laughing throughout the whole play. All of the actors played their parts with a pleasing manner and won high commendations from their hearers.
The play was a creditible addition to the honors of its author, Harold Lyttle. The plot was clever, and its incidents were laughable commentaries on University affairs. Its local nature was much appreciated, and spice was given the production by jokes on K. U. personages.
Craig Kennedy as Dick Manning gave an excellent interpretation characteristic of the way he has acted in previous dramatic productions. He brought out the comedy well in the part of the student who pawned his clothes to pay a note-of $50 contracted by his attentions to Helen Gray, the pretty college co-ed who later aided materially in turning Dad's irc.
Emma Mae Rummel, playing opposite Kennedy, in the part of Helen Gray gave a pleasing characteristic of the co-eed with whom Dick was in love and who was the cause of his financial difficulties. Miss Rummel sustained her part perfectly throughout.
Lewis Hull as Tom Winters, a student chum of Dick Manning, and Helen Clark as Mary Manning, the high school sister of Dick, made a great team in the parts of kidish lovers. A third team that made a great hit with the audience was Ed White and Florence Harding, the parts taken by Horace Chandler and Marie Buchanan.
Jessie Lea Messick played the part of Dick's kind mother to perfection and his father was well portrayed by Ed*Patton, as an important-acting and somewhat grouchy man. Blake, the mild villain, was well shown as an offensive character by Harry Robinson.
The play had a most effective ending with a rally bonfire and the singing of the "Crimson and the Blue" by men students of the University.
Willis Beltz as the Cockney Tommy, Jenks, serving as a chauffeur to the Mannings and finally roped in by the designing maid, Rosie, kept the audience in a rear of laughter. Rosie was played by Charlotte Kreeck, who proved to be a clever comedienne in overcoming Jenks dislike for women.
The negro farcical part of Riddles was comically brought out by Don Davis with his antics and dialect. Eva Hangen as Mrs. Flannagan, the Irish housekeeper, was always good for a laugh with her pugilistic method of protecting her daughter and taking spite on the students. In addition he played on the stage. Play, Howard Morgan made a very clever Hebrew Pawnbroker in the part of Abe Wolfstein and gained many laughs by his acting.
Much credit for the successful production belongs to Prof. Arthur MacMurray for his work in coaching the cast. The selections by the University Orchestra were much appreciated by the audience.
Punishment is Sought To Fit the Offender
Send the Daily Kansan to some friend "ow-r there."
In a heroic effort to beautify their part of the campus a class in civil engineering procured shovels, pickaxes, hoes, wheelbarrows, and all other available weapons and set to work digging up the hard-worn and down-trodden path across their front yard. After some forty of them, working on the area about four yards square, had succeeded in making the one time path look like a flower bed they posted a paddle with the conspicuous instructions, "Keep off or else—"
According to a verified report from Dean Shaad, who watched the above-mentioned area for half a day following the performance, not a student violated the newly enforced ruling, but each of the three women who enhanced to visit the Engineering Building that day mercilessly cut across. The "civils" are now busy planning some means of enforcing the ordinance when women are in question.

The University has the honor today of having for its guests delegates to the first national convention of Theta Sigma Phi. This is a significant honor at a time when the nation is at war and calling for its men to take up the burdens of the trenches.

William Allen White Talks About War, Politics, and Cub Reporters
Editor of Emporia Gazette Claims He Knows Less About Political Situation in Kansas Than Any Other Two Men in State
Those who are here as guests today are representatives of an organization of women who are preparing themselves to assume responsibility in one phase of American life. They are preparing to take up the work of what Edmund Burke called the Fourth Estate, and the most important of them all. The University feels it an honor to be the host to the delegates of such an organization, and is proud to extend a hearty welcome to Theta Sigma Phi in this its first national convention.

"No, the French have no Red Cross as the Americans to handle most of the war activities. In its place, the French have 600 different activities, each with a president, secretary, and treasurer. There is little compensation but the Gallic race enjoys the honor of holding these positions of responsibility and they obtain the same results that the Americans do."

ROUGH NAVIGATION
William Allen White, noted writer of the Emporia Gazette, was giving a kansasan reporter his views of political Kansas. He arrived at the University early this morning to be one of the principal speakers at the first national convention of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary journeymen who gave things he did when he arrived at the University to see Jim, the Janitor in Fraser Hall, and ask him for the keys to the Chancellor's office. He left his hand bag there.
A poor Ford pilot writes in a communication calling attention to the poor navigation paths on the campus for autos as well as his Ford. A student has suggested that perhaps the roadways are a bit rough where the sidewalks conflict but if it were not for the sidewalk interference, the campus would be more of a speedway than it now is. Perhaps, also, if the drivers of the many makes of cars would observe the parking and traffic rules which the University Senate passed many months ago this school year, betterroadbed would be supplied the traveling motorists, quoths another stude.
To break the monotony of these spring-like days, the door at the entrance to Spooner Library has consented to squeak for the remainder of this week. It is a well-timed squeak, melodious, and prolonged. The trouble is that it is wearing out its welcome and the few students who remain to study are hoping that it will play no return engagement.
One K. U. soldier writes that the soldiers in the national army camps are disappointed unless they get a letter every day. If each soldier in all of the sixteen national army camps got a letter daily, then it would cost $20,610 worth of postage to send the necessary letters. There were 687,000 men sent to the camps in the first draft. But it is a necessary expense and it is helping to win the war quicker.
First Stude: I feel like 30 cents.
Second one: You mean 32 cents-
two cents for war tax.
Visiting Theta Sigma Phi on Lawrence street car: I want off at 11th and 12th and Tennessee streets.
Conductor: I am sorry but I can't let you off at both streets.
Visiting T. S. P.: Well I want onh in the 1200 block on the southwest corner.
She got off.
"Well," said a particularly bright freshman on reading last night's paper, "I see the Germans are resuming their dyeing industry."
From some experiences about the campus, students would conclude that some K. U. students are not much in advance of the ordinary citizen in the understanding of the English language. One ordinary cit. went to the desk in Spooner Library recently and asked an assistant what magazines they had in the library containing anecdotes. The vocabulary was too extended for him; he looked at the o. c. dazed for a minute and said dubiously, "You don' mean jokes, do you?"
It is calculated that if Congress increases the minimum price of wheat to $3.00 it will add two cents to the cost of a loaf of bread, and increase the nation's bread bill by a billion dollars.
"The British have the Red Cross the same as the American. The ability to organize comes from the British. The American is an organizing brute."
"The canteens run by the Y. M. C. A. in France sell things at cost to the soldiers. They are sold cheaply. Buttons, pins, chewing gum, tooth brushes, and soft drinks are sold. They are run by women above draft age—that is they are past the flirtation age."
When the reporter apologized for the poor effort he had made to get a judge in the law, Mr. White told of his experience with the court on the old Journal-World in Lawrence.
"Er—I—I'm a reporter for the World, I said."
"Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, came to Lawrence to inspect the Haskell Indian School, and my fraternity brothers thought it would be nice for me to get an interview with him and invite him to the house to dinner. I got a chance to see Senator Blackburn as he was going into one of the University buildings. He was a man of huge build and I was a bit "frightened."
"I won't talk to a reporter."
"But, won't you talk to your fraternity brother?"
"Don't you remember the Phi Delt fraternity?"
"Oh, h-1 yes", he said, and walked on into the building."
Be Constructive, Is Advice Support Movements for Community Says W. A. White
"Support things that need to be done," said William Allen White today in an informal talk before the journalism class in interpretation of the News. "When you see a thing that should be done, back it up even though the rival contemporary paper has started it. And then always be a good loser. Never write destructive criticism in the editorial column. Be constructive in your policies."
In speaking of politics and editorial writing Mr. White said:
"There is just one time every two years to monkey with state politics and that is during the months of September and October just before election. A healthy minority election is enough time to give in backing your candidates."
Mr. White spoke also to the classes in History of American Journalism and Editorial Practice at 11 o'clock recalling experiences of his own in breaking into the newspaper game.
University Band to Give Annual Concert May 21
The last big concert of the year will be held in Fraser chapel at 8:15 PM 21 by the University Band. The program will include a solo by H. L. Butler, and a trombone solo by Jay E. Hargett, "Sheridan's Ride," a descriptive number, march song, "K. U. B. band," dedicated to the K. U. band, two overtures "Phedre" and "Ill Guarany," and other numbers. This is the eleventh annual spring concert.

PATRIOTISM AT A PENNY
Despite the fact that soldiers at the different training camps are continually asking for good reading matter, many people are still throwing or burning their old magazines.
The students at one house, however, have adopted a different policy, and have appointed a committee from their number to gather up, every two weeks, the magazines that have been read and mail them to the soldiers. This means that about a dozen magazine, practically new, are sent to the training camps every month. The cost, one cent for each magazine, is insignificant.
If all the fraternities and rooming houses in Lawrence would adopt such a ruling, it would mean hundreds of magazines sent to Funston or some other camp each month. Here is a fine opportunity to render a patriotic service at a minimum of expense.
GERMANY'S AIMS IN THE WAR
The recent German drive on the western front, if it does nothing more, should remind the United States that there is still a possibility, a very grave possibility, that Germany may yet come off victorious in this war if America does not speed her preparations and get an army into the trenches to aid the Allies. France is far spent, and the burden of war is bearing heavily on England. If it will spur her to greater effort and activity in her preparations, let America remember that she must be the deciding factor.
But along with this—even before it—let America remember the aims of Germany in this war. Let her remember that Germany in those fateful days in July and August 1914 could have prevented the war if she had cared to use her influence to temper the demands made by her ally, Austria, on Serbia. But Germany refused, even when asked, to do this. There can be but one reason for this refusal—Germany wanted war. And there can be but one reason why Germany wanted war—her desire for conquest.
Despite her hypocritical protests to the contrary, conquest has been the aim of Germany all along. Following the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, Germany annexed the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, and levied on France a war indemnity of a billion dollars. Many times since, German leaders have expressed regret that more than a billion was not demanded. That indemnity made Germany what she is today. With it she built up the most powerful military machine the world has ever known, and developed an industrial system, under government supervision, that
has placed German goods in every market of the world.
On the other hand that indemnity so weakened France that she was unable to keep pace with her neighbors in preparing for the present conflict. Today Germany knows—since 1871 she has known—that for her, wars have been good and profitable. German victories have afforded the opportunity for Germany to strengthen herself and weaken her enemies by dispossessing the conquered peoples.
And that is the purpose of Germany in this war. With her sixty-six million inhabitants she is overcrowded and needs room for expansion. Her program of colonization, begun less than forty years ago, was started late too late to secure colonies adequate and desirable for the expansion of her empire. All land available for colonization is now in possession of other countries, and if she is to expand she must take the land necessary for expansion from some people now possessing it. This is her aim in the present war.
It is now only a matter of time until she will have extended her influence and in part her domain to all of European Russia, and possibly to parts of Siberia as well. Russia, unless rescued by the valor of Allied arm, must become a vassal of Germany. And the fate of Russia must be the fate of all nations which accept terms of a victorious Germany.
"My better nature makes me want to write books," admits William Allen White. "It is my inherent baser nature that keeps me running a news-aper."
BRITISH VIEW OF THE DRIVE
British VIEW OF THE DRIVE
Extract from a letter received by the E. M. Fulton Jr. of British prison who entered the war in August, 1914. Now home recovering from wounds - Dated from England, March 27, 1918.
Well, you know of what has happened since last Thursday. These are trying days, but I believe we shall see brighter ones before very long. I am wondering what the effect will be on your side. Of course the Booche had no alternative but to strike as early as possible this year for another drive, knowing how the Allied front could be reinforced by your men during the year. He has struck with tremendous force but the line is not broken.
I was reminding myself only today of when we left the first Somme battle in July, 1916. It was just before dawn. The Germans had been pushed back over a distant ridge and their flares were going in the distance as though the dawn wasn't enough. We filed over the hillside and down into the valley where the summer morning mist lay among the trees in the wood.
It was strange to see the old trenches we knew by heart,—Old Royal, King's Avenue, the Tambour, Tanggiler and Maroc—all deserted and half in ruins, past the cemeteries to the village—and then the smell of wet fields, clover and morning mist. The stench of blood and flesh and explosives made me love to get back into the unbroken country, and to see natural sights and friendly faces once again. I thought it would all be kept in peace after that—at least in our generation. And now the Huns are back again. Still the line is unbroken, and the weight of this drive should be spent soon, if casualties are of much account.
The Kaiser seems to have done without his pagan gods—have you noticed, by the way?—ceased his Siegfried and Thor cry and gone back to the Lord again. This is all rambling, so I won't keep it up. The exasperating thing is to think of the Bolshevik and his ways of getting liberty and progress, by putting the whole cause in the fire like this, providing the Boche with good British guns—so hardly spared—to pound our men with. And the cause we are fighting for, too!
Well, I hope it will all help your people to realize that time is not indefinitely on our side. Of course you Americans are doing wonders, and
we all realize and appreciate it, but time is a vital matter for our cause. I don't think one was ever brought before now to see what a tremendous cause it is, and the absolute necessity of beating the Huns if life is to be endurable in Europe—or anywhere else for that matter—in the future.

That favoritism is one of the chief reasons why Kansas teams never win championships is a reason always given out by K. U. students when they return to their homes in the summer. The situation is the same this year as heretofore. The scarcity of material this year has caused no more discretion to be used in selection of this year's teams.
Freshman baseball candidates allege that the first year baseball squad was practically chosen the first night if practice and that the unfortunate candidates were never given a chance to show their wares. One man said: "I am not much of a ball player, but that coach will never know it." He added: "You have to play players. If favoritism is going to be the predominating feature of baseball in K, U, it had better be dropped from the University's list of sports.

WOMEN AND THE WAR
Many women's colleges, notably Vassar, are compiling lists of their students who are in war work abroad and at home, similar to the roll of names kept by men's colleges.
The French Red Cross has approved the sending abroad of properly organized relief units of college women, according to a cablegram received recently by the American Red Cross.
Some colleges are supporting a social worker in France, usually a graduate member of the college. Almost every group of under-graduate college girls, besides the alumnae groups, is supporting French and Belgian orphans. Two women's colleges—Smith and Wellesley—have organized relief units of college men for work abroad.
MENTAL LAPSES
The Food Administration courses, which were adopted during the second semester in all colleges where such courses were not already in the curriculum, are expected to have a great influence on the work of college girls during the summer. Miss Ida M. Tarbell, head of the Food Administration Department of the Women's Committee of the Council of Defense states that through these emergency courses hundreds of young women in all parts of the United States are gaining knowledge of the food situation and the ways in which the government is trying to meet it.
“But, my dear,” said his wife, after he had complained about the food the new cook had brought in, “you know during these terrible times it is absolutely necessary that we make great sacrifices.”

An Oxford of Character Newest "Custom" Toe
THE latest development in men's dressy shoe styles is the "Custom" last.. It gets away from the low, narrow toe lines that were not altogether suited for some men—'tis just a bit fuller and higher, allowing more toe room, and has a comfortable, broad tread heel.
Altogether it is a distinctively high-toned model for careful dressed men—and the price, very reasonable—

Jayhawker Beauty Ball In Honor Of Beauties Comes Tomorrow Night
Haley's Six Piece Orchestra Will Play—Dance 'Till 2 a. m.
Midnight Frolic Is Feature
Will Be Given On First Floor During Three-Course Supper
The first annual Jayhawker Beauty Ball, given in honor of the winners of the "Our Kansas Girl" Contest of the 1918 Jayhawker, will begin promptly at 8:30 o'clock tomorrow night, when Haley's Orchestra of Kansas City strikes up the Grand March. The march will be led by Mr. Harry Morton, then Miss Marion Joseph. During it, the programs will be given and, some lucky couple will receive programs containing two five dollars bills.
There will be sixteen dance numbers on the program, and dancing will continue until two o'clock. Haley's six-piece orchestra, with Haley himself at the piano and "Doc" Vevenseen on the violin and "Baron" Corti on the saxophone as the featured soloists, will play for the dancing.
Promptly at midnight, the guests will be ushered downstairs, where a three-course supper will be served at long banquet tables. The tables will be arranged in the form of a hollow square; and on the dance floor in the middle, during the supper, the midnight frolic, "Not A Word!" will be held. The student orchestra, chorus of fifty-two University women, are featured in the frolic, "Chuck" Shofalt's student orchestra of six pieces will play.
Dancing will begin again at one o'clock, and continue until two. The program will close with a carnival dance, during which 2,000 rolls of serpentine and fifty pounds of confetti will be used by the guests.
The decorations for the party will be in pink and green, and by the use of a novel lighting system, the management hopes to get some unusual effects. The programs are original, and contain sixteen pages of information about the party. The choruses of all the folic songs are printed in the programs, and the guests are expected to sing.
By the Way
Mrs. Eustace Brown will chapenor.
Many members of the faculty have been invited; and the affair will probably be largely attended. It is the last big All-University Party of the season, and, according to the advertising, "the biggest party of the year."

WHY does he need students you ask? The reason is an important one. Our government is encouraging young men below the draft age to complete their college training. In other words, the government is depending on the college man to be an important factor in the work of reconstruction that will exist when the war is over.
Young men below the draft age should not waste a day in acquiring their college education. Simply because the regular University session is out June 1st, don't waste three months of the summer! Your government needs you as soon as you can get through—enroll in the

University and Emporia Will Play Off 4-4 Tie On McCook Next Week
Advantage to Be Taken of Lull In Missouri Valley Schedules
K. U. Squad in Good Form
Nine Games to Be Played in May, the Last Three-With Missouri Here
Coach Bond's Jayhawk nine will probably meet its next foe on McCook field next week in the Emporia Normal team, as both the Kansas coach and Bill Hargiss of the Emporians are anxious to settle the dispute over superiority caused by the 4-4 tie game played on the Emporia diamond last week. The team will off-season week for the Jayhawkers, as no Missouri Valley games are scheduled, and the Emporia game will probably be the only contest.
The Kansas nine has not suited up since the second Ames game Tuesday, because of the rainy weather, but almost every member of the squad is in good condition. A few days of warm weather will give the pitchers a chance to get their arms in shape and be ready for the gameporia and the Valley games beginning May 8 with Missouri at Columbia.
As the last game with Ames was cancelled, there are nine Valley games remaining on the schedule besides the last event. The Valley games are as follows:
May 8, 9 and 10—Missouri at Columbia.
May 16, 17 and 18—Ames at Ames.
May 23, 24 and 25—Missouri at Lafayette.
SPORT BEAMS
According to a baseball story printed in the Iowa State Student just before the Ames team left for Lawrence, the Aggies didn't have much early season dope on the strength of the Jayhawker nine except that they were nearly all veterans. Well, they only missed it by eight, at that.
The track team representing the University of Oklahoma defeated the University of Texas speedsters last Saturday for the first time in nine years. The score was 74-35.
The Ohio State University baseball team opened the season at Columbus Saturday by defeating the Ohio Wesleyan team by a 9-3 score.
Track man in Fairmount college are working hard in preparation for the coming season. Their first dual meet will be with Southwestern at Winfield April 26.
The University of Illinois has introduced a plan among Big Ten schools whereby 300 from each school compete at their respective school in a big track meet, consisting of the high and broad jumps, bomb throw and hundred yards dash. The results of the meets at the different schools are reported to each of the others, the averages taken and the winners determined. Anyone who has never competed in interscholastic athletics is eligible.
Here Are the People Who Judge the Poems
Who are they—these judges of poetry that seems to be a persistent question that the Editors of the Poem Press Content feel like answering today.
Willard Wattles, professor and poet, department of English; Helen Rhoa Hoopes, same, Harry W. Humble, not a prof. of lit. but of law, and not a poet. He is the appreciative one. He may live through the contest and may not. His appreciation comes from his dignity him every night when he gets hold of the Kansan. He dreams about 'em nights. He is wholly human. He has a liberal sense of humor. But he has limits of endurance.
The regulars in the board are bearing up well, considering. Mr. Watties has inquired when the poetry was to begin. Miss Hoopes has demanded a yard stick to measure the length of the hammers and tongs right by warm anvils. Both have a bright look in the eye that bodies something.
But Professor Humble will be salvation for all who need it. If he survives, he'll do well by the winner. He says he will.

Women of University Made 9698 Dressings In Ten Weeks Time
Work is Under Auspices of Women's War Work of University
A total of 9,698 surgical dressing has been made by the women of the University during the ten weeks that the work has been under auspices of Women's Work of the University. Last week 1,291 dressings were made, which is one of the highest averages for any one week. In the sixth week 1,632 dressings were made, the highest average for any week. The women have made on the average of 1,000 dressings a week.
For the first six weeks the work consisted of the preparation of the eight by four compresses, but during the last four weeks the two by two and the four by four wipes have been used to record the best record for any one day was 640.
Attendance has been very good so far and the women are to be praised for the way they are turning out for the work. Miss Margaret Lynn said this week that more women would come for the work on Monday afternoon.
"The women of the university should realize the need for these compresses and bandages more than ever before because our own forces are fighting in France. These compresses are needed for our own men 'over there' now."

On account of Sarah Arnold's lecture, Saturday, there will be no food conservation lecture this week. On Wednesday, M. May S, Mrs. E. D. Tector will talk on "The Conservation of Fats and Oils."
Teetor Talks Next Week About Fats and Oils
"The conservation of fats and oils is as equally important as that of starches and sugars," said Mrs. Teeter, this morning. "It is necessary that vegetable fats as peanut oils be used as substitutes for animal fats."
The University of Colorado has just started a six weeks' course in Home Service of Red Cross, consisting of four lectures and 25 hours of field work each week. The object of the course is to train students to be of service in homes of soldiers and sailors. At the end of the course, men the plan is to train them to take the place of those who have left the country.

Suspended Nineteen For Cutting Gym Classes; Must Report to Dean
Twelve Men and Seven Women May Lose Semester's Credits
Two Made Readjustments
Dean Patterson Believes Most Cases Due to Misunderstandings
Nineteen students in the College were withdrawn yesterday from their classes because they had been reported to the Dean's office as taking more than the one unexcused absence every two weeks which is allowed in physical training classes. Twelve of the students are men, seven are women. No credit for any work done in the College this semester will be given to these students unless they report immediately to the department of physical education or to the office of Dean Patterson.
Dean Patterson believes that all these cases can be adjusted satisfactorily, since he feels that they are due to mistakes or misunderstandings. "There are no slackers in the College, I think," said he. "Readjustments have already been made in two cases. One student enrolled in wireless withdrew from the class to take gymnasm work, he failed to do it. He has been reported by the wireless instructor as being absent for three weeks. Another student left the University without being withdrawn."
All students have been notified of their delinquency, and are to report immediately for reinstatement.
Protesting Laws Withdraw From Classes
Csae Will Be Settled in May Term of Court; Lawrence Lawyers Have Case
The law students base their claim for exemption on these facts: The Senate has never been given power to make such a ruling; the faculty of each school has a right to say what each student shall take and not the Senate as a whole; the State has agreed to give a student a degree for a certain number of hours. It is a breach of contract when they raise this by five hours of military drill each semester.
The law students are represented by two lawyers of Lawrence. The case will come up in the May term of court.
Twenty-four students of the School of Law have been withdrawn from classes because of failure to comply with the ruling of the University Senate requiring all men in the University to enroll in military training. Con Hoffman has been exempted because of heavy work, but unless they win the case, the remaining students will receive no credit for work this semester.
If One Will Report;
Please Wear a Vei
At last a method has been devised or rather transferred from the far East—not Boston, but Turkey—by which women can be reporters and still keep sweet and untainted, says a T. S. P. Purchase a veil, one of the oriental kind which can be pulled up over the eyes whenever any unseemly sight is to be avoided, and wear it constantly.
As for the color and finish of the veil is concerned, that is left to the individual's own discretion.
The only unfortunate thing is that the newspaper editor will have to appoint one of the sterner sex to be censor for the woman reporter, and precede her wherever she goes. The plan will work something like this. A regular reporter will walk down the street. If he sees a ragged newsboy he will say, sharply, "The veil," and the woman will discretely draw the veil over her eyes until the awful sight is safely passed.
terrans this procedure may be expensive. However, if women insist upon being reporters, what is one to do?

Glee Club's Good Angel Appears at Celebration
The "Angel" of the Women's Glee Club arrived last night but in flowing white robes and a gold crown. However, the gift to the Club when they sang last night for the Masons was none the less appreciated, although the kind spirit was not one, but a collection of generous Mansons who contributed.
After the concert had finished, the women were surprised to find they were showered with silver, and on counting up discovered $42.82 had been given so more could go to Funston next Friday.
The following have been added to the list of those who will make the trip: First sopranos, Belva Shores, Ruth Gibson, Margaret Hodgson, Vivian Strange, Helen Glaze and Edna Dolechke.
Second sopranos: Ava Baer, Roberta Baer, Fayette Scott, and Elma Hunsicker.
First altos: Hazel Ernst, Eva Robinson, and Marian Seelye.
Second act: Harriet Brush.
This list is subject to further change.
Who's Here and Why
Mrs. Helen Rosa Lantz: "I like K. U, because I feel perfectly at home here. As I wander about your campus and your journalism department I can hardly realize that I have left the University of Washington. You have the same sort of a disreputable-looking news shop and the same crowd of enthusiastic workers, the same fine spirit of comradeship and co-operation between the young men and women of your Daily staff. Indeed the atmosphere of your Daily office is so like that of other college Dailies that I have visited that I have come to think that:
All the world's a college Daily staff
the men and women mere reporten
porters
Take these their assignments, beats,
and scoops
And one man in his time film many
his work being in seven sages. At first
he works with the cultish fabritham and
Dreaming in the English class.
And then the lagging lady cub with
Cop unwillingly his beat.
And then the lagging lady cub with
Cop unwillingly like a
furnace, with a red hot story
Framed for front page columns
Tips and padded up, like his pard (the
editor)
Zechariah for honors, sauve and on the
square in quince nomination even are the
term's half done. And then the
Editor in fall largo forehead with
nomination
With eyes severe and pencil poised to
of full wise squibs and down-town
instance he plays his part. The sixth
size is green and wistful Journal-
World recruit
In intire green and wistful Journal-
World recruit
For shrunk done; with his loud
commands
Turning again to low toned "yessir"
Nor whitles on his rounds. Las
that ends this strange, eventful hist-
is second cubbiness and near oblivion
Sain tip, sans dope, sans scoop, san
everything.
Marion Lewis of the Minneapolis Journal: "Back to K. U.! It makes all the difference in the world whether you 'come back' as a student or a visitor. The first experience is one of cheerfulness co-operation; the experience of the visitor is that of exultation. Back despite increased railroad fares, war tax, last year's style and a slim pocket-book. It doesn't matter. And the girls all lend you clothes. Nobody cares how you look. It's only how you act and how you feel. Old K. U. is better than ever. It has a fine patriotism this year that was just coming into evidence at this time last year. There never was a time like this."
George Amindsen: "The Daily Kansas offers to the public the first and original self commencing interviews ever produced on the campus. After telling the visiting Theta Sigma Phi delegates that they were too honored by having personal information handed pencils and told to go ahead and write their own—the staff was busy."

Newspaper Game Is Great For Those Who Like It—Miss Bennett
Every Writer Should Get Train ing for Magazine Work In News Columns
Nine Chapters Send Delegates to Theta Sigma Phi Convention
"If you want to make money, if you want your work to be appreciated, if you want short hours, easy work, and a grand future, stay out of the newspaper game," was the warning given by Miss Helen M. Bennett in a talk before the delegates at the Theta Sigma Phi convention Thursday afternoon. "But if you want a business that will keep you alive every hour, and will give you an opportunity to meet people who are doing things, then go into it and work hard." The newspaper game is no place for the person who is not entralled by it and is not willing to withstand its hardships and its disadvantages.
"The newspaper is the daily history of the world. As a daily historian it covers every kind of life. News is the backbone of the newspaper, the groundwork, the vital part. Do not start in on feature work. I have great faith in coming up through the news columns, and I believe every newspaper woman should start as a reporter. Dramatic and music criticism is going out. People want the story of the thing.
"To be a reporter is just as good as going to college. You learn how to work, and not to regard hours. Above all things you learn never to know what failure is and I learn to take this." As qualifications of a good reporter, Miss Bennett named, self-control, good temper, mental quickness, good health, accuracy, resourcefulness and impersonal aspect of mind.
"To be a success, you must learn people, you must learn life, and then you must translate them into the simple terms of English."

Marjorie Rickard c'18, president of Pi Lambda Theta and fellow in French for 1918-19, has accepted the position of modern language teacher in Ottawa University for the remaining semester, is filling an unexpired term.
Hear From Engineers
The School of Engineering has received word from Le Port Spangler, a graduate of the school last year who is now with Company M at Camp Hempstead, Brooklyn, that he expects to sail soon. He also said that he had been to visit Schiller Kruse, son of Professor H. O. Krusse and Mark L. Putnam, a second year student in engineering, who are employed by the Western Electric company.
Plain Tales From The Hill
SOCIETY NOTE
We are greatly concerned. Only two seniors at the Theta house remain unengaged. We have been watching the announcements faithfully but still their names have not appeared. It is at least exclusive to continue the maiden life. Wonder who will be next.
Everyone has heard about the Poetry Contest. Here is a sample of some of the choicest bits:
A funny old bird is the pelican, his bill will hold more than his beak.
He can hold in his beak enough for a week,
But I don't see how in the helican.
William Allen White was telling some of his experiences as a writer in a short story class today: "Now I never could write poetry," he confided, "although I've written tons and tons of it. Each time my beautiful poems would be returned accompanied by a letter which would read something like this:
Dear Bill:
We like you and your stories, but this poetry is rotten."
(Signed) ...
The innocence or should we say ignorance of some University women is sublime. One baseball fan was talking with Olive Reynolds yesterday.
"Why no," said Olive, "How in the world did it happen?"
"Did you know Jimmie Koles had an accident again?"
"He was trying to catch a fly out in the field," he explained, and fell down. "Oh, is he taking bugology, too?" he feminine fan answered.
Theta Sigma Phi convention opened its first meeting with a song by a quartette chosen from the sisterhood, but it has been said that good endings come from poor beginnings.
Prof. M. C. Elmer, in his sociology class, was speaking of Lester F Ward, the leading sociologist of last generation, when he said, "He i a monist; that is he was a monist. don't know what he is now since he died, probably captain of a shovelin squad."
ROUGH STUFF
Seven Theta Sigma Phis narrowly escaped an accident at Elevend and Ohio streets Thursday night, when the car in which they were riding became unmanagable at the top of the Eleventh Street hill and made a twisting, swerving descent backward down the hill. When at last the car perched upon an flower urn at Ohio Street and stopped, Miss Sylvia Finley, visiting delegate from Montana University, exclaimed, "Gee, that was rougher than any broncho I ever rode."
University Club Meets
William Allen White spoke at the University Club last night to the largest crowd which has ever been in attendance Thursday night, the club night for the University faculty. Mr. White gave a close-up intimate account of his war experiences.
Warren R. Neumann, senior electrical, was elected this morning for student-day speaker from the School of Engineering.
Robert C. Miles, e19, has been accepted for service in the Tank Corps, in which he recently enlisted.

Women Need Training Along Special Lines To Aid War Program
Miss Bennett Speaks at Convocation on Requirements of "Women Warriors"
Describes Red Cross Work
William Allen White Says American Organization Held French Morale
"The government wants women especially trained for preparedness to perform the tasks which will later be required of them," said Miss Helen Bennett, manager of the Chicago Collegiate Bureau of Occupations, at convolution, Thursday afternoon. Miss Bennett and Mr. William Allen White spoke on Women and the Red Cross in the war.
Miss Bennett talked on "Women Warriors." She emphasized the fact that what will be needed from now on, as women are called to fill men's positions, is special training along certain lines. The spectacular, for which some women are looking, has not yet come, because there are still some surplus men laborers. But women are asked to prepare, and be ready to go into their calling with the determination and willingness of the soldier. Miss Bennett said that there is a shortage of trained women in domestic science, of stenographers, scientists, and social workers.
Miss Bennett gave as the requisites of the women workers of today definite training along some one particular line, accuracy and executive ability in their work, and health. The woman who can do "almost anything" is no longer wanted. Employers want the woman who can do what they need. And they want the woman who is dependable and has a good vitality for today much is being demanded of her endurance.
Miss Bennett expressed her profound disapproval of women who take a government position during war times and keep it for a few months, only to forsake it then for a different purpose. Every woman who takes a position during war times to sign up for a definite period."
Mr. White told in a simple narrative style some of his experiences on the western front a year ago, to illustrate the work of the Red Cross in the war. A year ago, when the morale of the French was weakening because of conditions at home in their families, the American Red Cross came to the rescue and the morale was restored. They fed and clothed the families of the soldiers (Continued on page 4)
Despite Fruit Salad W.A. White Thrives
William Allen White knows college life.
"Know college life!" cried he,
"Why, I've eaten my weight in fruit
salad at commencement banquets.
"They always have fruit salad at any kind of a college banquet from the Alleghenies to the Rockies," he explained. "Or else they have this fruit in cups at the beginning. You see I do know. I go to a lot of these restaurants." They always have the same old menu and the same old speeches."
Since Mr. White has attended a few hundred college banquets, his word should not be doubted. His knowledge of college life is first-hand information, for in addition to being a regular banquet-attender, he has lived in a college town ever since he was sixteen.
Mr. White is going to use this information in his book after next
Mr. White is going to use this information in his book-after-next.
"It's going to be an academic novel," he said. "My first novel was about capital punishment, and now which will be published before law is about labor, and the next one I write will be about the academic circle of a middle-west community. Every one of the three is concerned with the problem of freedom—the problem of free expression of a man's self."
K. U. is going to be immortalized in print. The fruit salad of commencement banquets, and the old Hill will stand forth upon the pages of the book-after-next, and all K. U. will look forward to the reading of that book.

CONVENTION IS HERE
The women of Theta Sigma Phi have been looking forward all year to the inspiration and beneficial influences of a national convention. It is especially appropriate that we are meeting at a University where the profession of Journalism has received so much attention. Not only the University but the state of Kansas is well known throughout the country as a stronghold of newspaper work. In addition to the recognition gained by individual men and women, the press of the state as a whole has upheld the higher ideals of Journalism. This background of successful newspaper experiences and the hearty co-operation of the University authorities and the department of Journalism furnish a fitting atmosphere for our first meeting.
It has been a privilege to meet the chapter delegates and to know they represent the women who are preparing to enter the field of Journalism. But one of the brightest memories of this convention will be the hospitality of Epsilon chapter of the University of Kansas. To its members we are indebted for the excellent entertainment and the opportunity of hearing the splendid speakers who were with us westerday.
The delegates attending the first convention of Theta Sigma Phi most sincerely appreciate and enjoy the royal welcome which has been extended to them by the University of Kansas.

A QUESTION
In the national convention of Theta Sigma Phi now in session on the campus, a meeting representative of some hundreds of women scattered over the country either engaging or preparing to engage in the profession of Journalism, is seen a startling indication of the way in which the feminine sex is fast encroaching upon a field.long held sacred to men. Surely it is a far cry from the George Sand and George Eliot of only a few generations back to the modern woman writer. Those pioneers, brave yet timid, who behind a masculine nome de plume offer strange contrast to the ambitious young writer of today who announces her profession and, often, it must be confessed, with far less justification than her famous prototypes, rushes boldly into print. Hundreds of young women these days, burning with ambition for a career in the field of letters, are hastening to colleges and universities for technical training in their chosen profession. How the great Georges would have thrilled at such rich op-
We hear it often that woman is now coming into her own and nowhere is this more obvious than in the field of journalism.
Everybody has heard the arguments in her behalf. Even men editors admit woman's right to a place in the sun when they declare that newspapers are written very largely for women and that it follows they might as well be written by women. Patent to all who run and read is the big part played by woman in the world of magazine and fiction. Like prohibition, her outward march is invitable.
And now, with great opportunities at her disposal and with everything in her favor, will the modern woman writer do anything vital in literature, or will she be content to be a mere ghost of the profession. In other words will opportunity and favor give birth to a greater than George Elliot?
That is one of the questions which Theta Sigma Phi hopes one day to answer in the affirmative.

POET'S CORNER
THE LILAC HEDGE ON OREAD
HILL
Dim in the shifting mist of early dawn.
Gem-sparkling in the noon-day's yel low light.
Half-hidden in the star-stabbed dusk of night.
The long low iliac hedge half spans the lawn.
How many springs have seen your branches break
At April's bidding into perfumed maze
of opalite illaos, longhouses—a haze.
Of litling mystic fragrance in its wake.
How many hands have touched your shimmering lace.
What could you tell if you might speak—what lore
Of love and joy and hope of youth, of yore
And now, you've listened to in silent grace.
Perhaps has felt the light caress of just
You could tell us all of life—a grave or two
One blossom from your store—upon its dust
Tears may have mingled with your blossoms' dew.
When I am very old, I think, and friend
And happening of my youth are dim to me,
In all its old wall beauty I shall see
that low illiac hedge on Oread
Hill.
Edith Roles—Epsilon Chapter
Smiles and socks go farther now to
break breaking down the last line of
efense than curls and candy ever
id.
Harmony is the product of common sense; discord is the offspring of nonsense.
The old maid who continues to pray for a man should learn by this time that pacifism never did win anything.
True love never will run smoothly so long as one insists on having two true loves at the same time.
There is nothing that makes an ordinarily self-possessed person feel so conspicuous as a late transfer—if the conductor sees it.
The formality of a first call is sometimes broken by father suggesting that he has "to get up early."
The true-patriot never grabs the other fellow's corn mush no matter how many catless days he has observed.
True patriotism strikes fire; pacifism nicks the blade and dulls the intellect making the sponsor thereof a "victim of circumstances."
Charity vaunteth not itself, is no puffed up, but the popular version keeps the press sending in post haste for the picture of the donor.
An old friendship revived is a spring welling up in forgotten places.
A lie is like a tire; it bursts when punctured.
Peace without progress for civilization is no peace.

A Governor's Wife
Persons:
Episodes No. 1—Monday
A Superintendent of Schools
Scene. A fashionable hotel. Imposing lady perfectly groomed. She is the wife of the governor of the state. Lady Reporter balances herself uncertainly on edge of chair opposite, having forgotten her gloves.
L. R. "We might emphasize the war work idea by saying women are so rushed they are eating breakfast in their hats."
L. R., blushing. "Yes, yes." (Exits rapidly with hands concealed in pockets of coat.)
Govnors' wife (for it is even she),
"Precisely. But please, my dear,
don't put in anything about standardized
dress. A man reporter once
quoted me as in favor of uniforms for
women. My husband felt keenly over
it. He abhors laxity in personal appea-
tions. He believes women should be
beautiful."
Scene. A county jail. L. R. has worn a Georgette crepe blouse in anticipation of another high-class assignment. A county marshall extends the courtesy of his swivel chair.
Episode No. 2—Tuesday
C. M. "Sure." They traverse long corridor to a door under a stairway. It has an iron grating. The marshall points to a yellow sign. "Our small-ap quarantine will be lifted next week."
L. R. "The office sent me for a tory about the men arrested for trike violence. May I talk to some if them?
L. R. (sotto), I should have worn a gas mask, not a Georgette blouse.
Episode No. 3—Wednesday
Episode No. 3—Wednesday
Scene. Sanctum of a School Superintendent. A sunlit day. L.R. has worn flat-faced and a crumpled hat having read the weather forecast, "rain." S.S. looks up wearily.
L. R. "News today?"
S. S. "Yes. There is what you might term, in your quaint journalistic manner of speaking, a "story." I shall be obliged to require, however, that you withhold the source of this news. It came to me quite in confidence. THERE IS TO BE CLASSES ORGANIZED AT THE Y. M. C. A. Night classes to train young men in modern business methods.
L. R., faintly, "We shall verify it conclusively before publication." (To herself), Drab hats create drab ideas. Flat heals lower the spirits. Perhaps he judges women by their feet. If I had worn something subtle, he might have abolished the teaching of German in the schools.
Scene. A fire in the west bottoms, K, C, C., huge warehouses in flames, firemen running in all directions, policemen shouting, telephone poles toppling, charred to the center; exploding chemicals booming; sparks falling in a rain of red. A policeman on his job, L, R, has worn white hat and high healed white shoes as a psychological experiment in obtaining news. She was the only reporter in the office when the fire alarm came in, having remained late to compile a column of Sunday Music Notes.
Episode No. 4—Thursday
L. R. I'm a reporter for The Post.
Policeman: "Reporter? Reporter?
(surveys hat and shoes). You, re-
sponser your kids your parents? Where's
your pants?
Policeman, intercepting: "Here, where you going? You can't pass here!!
She advances in the direction of the fire chief, 50 vards away.
"One pr. shoes, medium-size heel.
One hat, medium touch of color.
One suit, medium width and length.
One hose, in any manner.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Yea Verily, Times Have Changed A Bit Around The Daily Kansan Office
The News Room and the Copy Desk Welcomes Women Gladly
Rv H. R. H.
Women in Journalism, the Daily Kansas, and Prof. Merle Thorpe burst on the University at one and the same time, in the fall of 1911. At first, to be sure, so far as women in journalism were concerned, the University scarcely knew that anything had hit it; for quite a while, the men in journalism were the only ones who knew much about this feminine invasion, and they were far from pleased. In fact they raged about it, they were disgusted, but at last they became reconciled. This latter delightful state of affairs was observed at precisely the same time that the men in journalism discovered that women could be made useful in executing neatly and tidily the tasks which tend to take up the masculine time, but are too trifling for the masculine intellect. Having made this discovery, the men in journalism sighed contentedly, leaned costly back in their chairs, tried to look like real newspaper men, and said greatly to the women, "Go ahead; you can bring in the society stuff, if you want to."
Mr. Thorpe offered the opportunity and the Daily Kansan the field for women in journalism. Men and women were in Mr. Thorpe's class in Newpaper I, in September, 1911, and in the first competitive assignment made to the class, a woman won. It was a trifling contest, but a triumph, neverless. But the men never even knew that it had happened.
By the second semester, Mr. Thorpe had established the custom of giving assignments to the students in Newpaper II. If acceptable to the lordly editors, the stories appeared in the Kansan. Here was a chance for the enterprising woman in journalism. By scouring the campus for news, by attending all sorts of dry lectures that the boys hadn't time for, by being able typewrite, spell, and punctuate with a degree of accuracy that won the editorial heart, the women were able to land stories of women's athletics (which were at that time taking on a new lease of life under the blond and strenuous Dr. Anna Johnson) of the Art Exhibit of society based on the Almanac of the Y. W. C. A., of the W. S. G. A., and their Kansas Kirmess, in the spring of 1912; and of the campaign for suffrage carried on at the University.
The Kansas Kirmess may be cited as an example of the attitude that the men held toward the women in journalism in those far-far pioneer days, all of six years ago. One faithful feminine member of the coterie of cubs had trotted around after what the stingy head writer called “the Kirmessuses,” and had written up story after story concerning the big festival, most of which, no doubt owing to a scarcity of real news, had been printed somewhere in the Kansan. Then came the great day, but no one said to the faithful one that to her should fall the honor of the final write-up. There may have been complimentary tickets, too. If so, all the harourians (or do you say “ari?”) went to the men, and the faithful one, having bought a ticket, went to the Kirmess and looked humbly on. At the close of the performance, a gay dog of an assistant editor happened to go past her. Seeing a chance to save himself work, he sang out gaily. “Don’t you want to write up this performance?” She wrote it up.
On April 24, 1912, appeared the "Girl's Own Kanan," with Beulah Murphy, president of the W. S. G. R. a., as editor-in-chief and Helen Rhoa Hoopes as managing editor, and a long list of notables who had volunteered their services to help make the paper a success.
In the report in the Kansas City Star, the next day, the managing editor was written down as "the regular woman's editor of the Kansan," "but that was the only time, in print or otherwise, that the place of the woman in journalism at the University had been recognized officially, for it was not until 1912-13 that Lucy Burger was elected to the Kansan Board. Later she served as associate editor of the Kansasian women have had similar honors. In the fall of 1915, Zetha Hammer served as the editor of the Kansan. She was the first woman to edit the Kansan since it has been in existence at K. U.
The organization of Theta Sigma Phi, in the spring of 1914, under the advice of Mr. Thorpe, has proved a great help to women in journalism. Growing slowly but steadily, it has
held the women together, and has brought to the women students the help and inspiration of all those women who are doing interesting things n writing, in and about Lawrence.

While Miss Wisconsin talked to the Chancellor about a real story I got a "silent interview" with him.
By Miss Oklahoma
(To Theta Sigma Phis. The formula for a silent interview is an introduction to the "victim." Add to this result the formula to imagine.) You result with your imagination.
So silently I said to the Chancellor: "What youh got such big eyes for?" He said. To see all that that's there, I asked him to come into the valleys at the same time."
"What yuh got such big ears for?"
"To hear what the legislature does—if they make us an appropriation for new buildings."

Two Kansas Athletes Compete in Penn Relay Games at Philadelphia
Haddock and Rice, Star Sprinter and High Jumper, Expected to Place in Their Events
By Earline Allen
Marshell Haddock, star spiner, and Carl Rice, star high jump, left Tuesday for Philadelphia where they will compete in the twenty-fourth annual Penn Relay games at Philadelphia today and Saturday. Rice has been clearing the bar at better than six feet in practice here recently and is expected to place in the meet. He placed second in the high jump at the NCAA Championship this year. The event was won by Larsen of Brigham Young University, who broke the record. Rice is entered in the javelin also and is expected to place in it.
Haddock is counted to place towards the first in the pentathlon, a feature of the events today at the meet. He must place in five events in order to win this event. He will run in the 100-yard dash and will compete in the discus also.
About twenty-five schools are entered in the meet this week, which is only a slight decrease over last year despite the effect of the war on athletics. The games were first instituted in 1895, as the result of ideas of Frank B. Ellis of Pennsylvania. In the inaugural meet about twelvecolleagues took twelfth schools participated, and the annual event has grown to such importance that it is now regarded as second in size to the Olympic games.
Exact Date Not Set—Tie Game Was Played at Emporia Two Weeks Ago
Normalts to Play Here
On McCook Next Week
(Bv Nadine Blair)
The Jayhawker nine has a game scheduled for next week with the Emporia Normalms on McCook Field and it will decide the 4-4 tie game played at Emporia two weeks ago. The exact date has not yet been decided but it probably will be Tuesday.
Nine more Missouri Valley games besides the one with Emporia are scheduled, three of which will be played with Missouri at Lawrence, on May 23, 24, and 25. Three will be played also with Missouri at Columbia and three with Ames at Ames.
In the first game with the Normalls, Kansas outit the Teachers 8 to 2, batting against Rehm, the Normalls' veteran pitcher, but the wildness of the Kansas pitchers lost the game for the Jayhawkers, who gave ten bases on balls. However, in the last game with Ames the Kansas pitchers seemed to have gained the proper control and Coach Jay Bond expects to keep the Normalites interested next week.
K. U. Stag Comes Off Thursday, May 2, in Gym
Faculty Mandolin Club Wil Give Program in Additon To Other Features
In this land of feminism and her stories written for and by the women of Theta Sigma Phi and women of the University comes a story of a man's stunt night which will exclude all women.
It's the K. U. Stag, next Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock in Robinson gymnasium.
The stag was planned for the Thursday of this week, but there were so many other activities scheduled that the Y. M. C. A. under whose auspices the stunt night is being given changed the date to Thursday, May 2.
But none of the events have been curtied because of the change in date. "in fact," said Dutch Wedel of the University Association, the head at a stout which didn't believe we could have—the Faculty Mandolin club.
"The same program will be given as announced in the Kansan for the Stag a week ago. The band will play; there will be athletic events consisting of wrestling, boxing, and tumbling; cats of twenty cents value will be served and the competition United States competitive drill for a prize of ten dollars which will be converted into a feed at one of the Hill cafes."
Ticket selling is going on now
Who's Here and Why
(Continued from page 1)
about Wisconsin. What do you think about K. U.? (This question is an old standby in the columns of the Kansan—we know because it is a habit with the Cardinal of U. W. also). We refuse to answer this last question because the style sheet says "be careful in the use of superlatives" and we can't express ourselves in just words.
Blanche Penrod, delegate from Delta chapter at Indiana University: "Isn't it lovely to meet so many fine people from all over the central and western part of the United States? I can think of nothing quite so lovely and to say that I like it here at Kampala University as beautifully. To tell the truth I think that next to being a Hoosier I should like to be called a Jayhawker. Who said something about Kansas University? I say so too."
Josephine Piercy from Indiana:
"I'm here because I heard what a fine bunch Kansans were."
Miss Frances Davis, of the Kansas City Post: "When the delegation of Theta Sigma Phi arrives in Kansas City don't be surprised if a brass band is there to meet it. I have been casually mentioning this convention for the past week and all though people in Kansas City don't know what it is, they are terribly interested in finding out."
Miss Vina Lindsay, of the Kansas City Post: "I never come to this town but what I have to wait at least five miles for a street car. Why is that?"
Sylvia Finlay, Kappa Chapter, University of Montana; "The chief difference between the University of Montana and the University of Kansas is that the former is in a valley surrounded by mountains while the latter is on a mountain—almost one anyway—surrounded by valleys. The spirit in both places is the same and both student bodies seem to me to have the same amount of that great American dish. 'pep.' I am glad I came and hope some of you will return my visit and let us show you some Montana hospitality as you have shown me Kansas hospitality."
Margaret Cribs of Minnesota:
"We members of Thetaigma Phi had a 'wiener roast' on the bank of the Mississippi last Tuesday night, and we found it pretty cold. At the time, however, I comforted myself with the thought that the next day I should be out in Kansas aware of warm and warm. Loe and behold, I find Kansas weather much like Minnesota weather. The similarity in climatic conditions makes me feel very much at home."
William Allen White: "I believe that the University needs buildings. The crying need is for buildings now, just as it was in 1886. It is hard to tell whether or not the Permanent Income amendment will pass. I believe a good efficient campaign will get it across. And W. Y. Morgan is a good man to do it. He would have time to do it after the primary in August. I doubt if the war will have any effect on the vote."
Miss Helen Bennet: "What! You say I missed the Minneapolis Symphony. Well! I'm sorry. But the symphony of forty typewriters going at once sounds better to me than any symphony the world ever produced. I've had the best time here that I've had since I quit the newspaper business."

Omicron chapter made enough money on their publication "The Emerald Goose" to give a banquet to Sigma Delta Chi, buy some Liberty Bonds and send two delegates to the national convention of Theta Sigma Phi. The girls just about felt that it was their duty to send the chapter president I think. And it did not benefit what to find out for myself if the famed Kansas hospitality was really a yard wide and dyed in the wool. I'm glad I came because it is even better than I had expected."
Mrs. Cassie Lawrence Bryant (grand treasurer of Theta Sigma Phi); I feel so much at home here at the University of Kansas and I've been trying to find the reason. Now I know. When I went to college in Washington, the plaster on the ceiling of our newsroom used to fall just as it does here in Kansas."

"We're in Business for Your Health"
Marguerite Clayton, Gamma, University of Missouri; They deceived me at Missouri. They led me to believe that the Kansas men all had Adam's apples that thrust themselves upon your unsuspecting vision, that they were unloved sights, and that the females of the population wore rubbers and long skirts. But I was sadly misinformed; maybe they never came to see. I came, I saw, and was disillusioned. Why you have nine perfect beauties with mobs of satellites. I'll return to Columbia the best propagandist and publicity agent Kansas ever had despite that proverbial and often mythical twisting of the Tiger's tail.
Velma Carson of K. S. A. C.: "I feel awfully at home in the Kansas annee—I sat down to three typewriters before I could find one that would work. I wish that I could make myself say something startling and famous like many victims I have interviewed have been made to say! But I will remark that I admire and LIKE the University of Kansas. For a Kansas Aggie who is interested in football that is saying a lot."

"Down at Oklahoma we do more work with fewer tools than any School of Journalism in the country," said Fannie Inez Bell, delegate from this morning. "I'm sure I can say nothing to the truth for we haven't hardly any tools."
"But we put out the Oklahoma Daily; Oklahoma Weekly, which is sent to the high school students of the state; University of Oklahoma magazine, the official organ of the Oklahoma alumni, and the University and editor which is sent to all the editors of the state. The typographical dress of these publications is not always without error for how can a good looking 'angel food' emerge from a small rusty pie tin? The students however get thoroughly soured with the Journalism spirit and this is enough. Theta Sigma Phi and Sigma Delta Chi are as thick as the council of deans will admit, and they are pulling together for more journalists, cleaner journalists, and a better brand."

There were lodging houses erected at the railroad junctions, where the men on their way home from the front might clean up and rest.

Mr. White told of the bombardment of hospitals by the Germans. "Do not think this is done in rage, or in a spirit of revenge," he said. "It is simply scientifically planned. They want the hospitals moved far enough back* from the lines that soldiers cannot be taken there soon enough to save their lives. They don't want to waste shot and powder in fighting the same men twice." "I had rotten luck all the time I was in Europe," continued Mr. White. He left Italy a few days before the big drive there. He spent the night in a large hospital which was a few nights later bombed. He visited another two days after it had been destroyed. He was in London just before an air raid.
"But while the Red Cross is doing a great part in this war, it will not win the war," continued Mr. White. "Nothing but powder and shot, men and blood will ever do that."
The home of Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes
Mr. White described the destruction of the French villages. It is very systematically done, not by drunken or wild soldiers, but under the most carefully authorized orders. First the German officers are allowed to loot the houses, and then the privates. After this the German carpenters come in and take all the wood work available for future use as French walls and furniture. After this the houses are blown up. The villagers are then allowed to return to their ruined homes and many of them are driven at the point of the bayonet to work behind the German lines.

Rice and Haddock Take Places in Annual Penn Relays at Philadelphia
First in High Jump and Third in Javelin and Pentathlon Won by Kansas
NUMBER 138
No Records Are Broker
Missouri Gets a First and a Second and Ames is Also Among Winners
With but two men entered, the University of Kansas took one first and two third places in the annual Penn Relay games at Philadelphia held last Friday and Saturday. Carl Rice won the high jump with a leap of 5 feet $11\%$ inches in the competition Saturday. Parry of New York University won second in this event. Last year Rice got second in the event. Rice also won third in the javelin throw which is a newly established event at the University of Kansas. Two Pennsylvania men placed ahead of him. Rice threw the spear 139 feet 9 inches.
Friday, Marshall Haddock, the other Kansas man entered in the meet, won third place in the pentathlon. Haddock won first in the broad jump in the pentathlon competition with a leap of 20 feet $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches. He placed second in the 200-meter race in 23 1-5 seconds and came out fourth in the 1,500 meters run, which was won by 146.9 $3\frac{1}{2}$ seconds. He grabbed the first threepoint in the disc and javelin, although he was counted on to show well in both of these events. The distance in neither was unusual.
Haddock finished with 24 points while Shen of Dartmouth placed second with 19 points. W. A. Bartels, a university of Pennsylvania freshman, won first with 15 points. The next two players placed the even event, first place counting one, second place counting two points, and so on.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 29, 1918.
Scholtz of Missouri took first in the 100-yard dash and Sylvester second in the broad jump. The Tiger mile relay team won second. Iowa State from Ames won first in the four-mile relay for the championship of America. For the first time in years, no records were broken in the meet.
K.U. Banner to Adorn Students' Club In Paris
Observant University of Kansas men in Paris who visit the club building of the American University Union in Europe will soon see a familiar reminder of the days at old K. U. Chancellor Frank Strong has sent the big K. U. banner which hung on the wall of his office for many years to the Union in Paris and it will be put alongside the banners universities and colleges to give the atmosphere of their collective alma maters to American college men "over there."
The purpose of the club house of the Union is to provide a suitable place of recreation to university students now in military service overseas, and according to letters received from the memoirs of their former classmates, have been found at the headquarters of the Union.
Saturday, May 4, Named
As Official Salvage Day
Saturday, May 4, will be official collection day for salvage over the hill according to Lucee Spencer, chairman of the salvage committee of the Red Cross this morning. At this time the salvage will be collected from the various buildings, and will be distributed for sale downtown.
Up to the present time the proceeds from salvage has amounted to $3.65, but the committee hopes to increase the budget after the big drive next Saturday.
The salvage committee of the Red Cross of the University has direct charge of all this work. The committee consists of Lucene Spencer, chairman, Florence Butler, Jessie Le Messick, Katherine Fulkerson, and Helen Clek. Dr. Grace Charles and Miss Ora Dolbee are the faculty advisers of the committee. The proceeds of all the salvage sales goes to the surgical dressing work.
All House Mothers and Managers Asked to Meet
Mrs. Eustace H. Brown, at the request of the Chancellor, today called a meeting of all sorority and fraternity house mothers and managers of boarding clubs and those who board students of the University, for 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, April 30, in room 110, Fraser Hall.
Chancel Strong will address the meeting.
The War
Here and Over There
The Germans have been unable to dent the Allied line on the western Front since the capture of Kemmel Hill on Friday. Intense artillery fighting still continues but the Germans do not appear to be prepared to meet the French forces, so their large losses in men killed, wounded or made prisoners.
May 1 is to be Thrift Stamp Day throughout the United States. On that day every store, shop, booth, and individual selling goods of any character at retail is expected to urge customers to accept Thrift stamps as part of his or her change on every purchase.
Holland has agreed to reopen the Limbim railway but it is firm in its warning to Germany regarding the nature and extent of material transported over the road and by waterway.
Subscriptions to the third Liberty loan now total $1,700,044,850, according to the latest reports of the Treasury Department
Joseph Reiter, a wholesale sugar dealer at Brooklyn, N. Y., who was found guilty of charging $17 per 100 pounds of sugar, will be allowed to continue his business upon donating $1,842 to the American Red Cross.
Our 14-inch guns weigh nearly 95 tons and are more than 58 feet long, costing $118,000 apiece.
School children in Germany get reward stamps for collecting old papers, scraps of metal, rags, and even hair, all of which are used.
During the first year of our war nearly 60,000 letters, many including detailed plans, were received from the inventive genius of the country by the Naval Consulting Board concerning methods of combating the German U-boats.
Dillon of Capper Publication Tells Journalists of News- paper Game;
Charles Dillon, editor of the Capper Farm Publications, in a talk to the women of Theta Sigma Phi, said: "There is a greater chance for women in the field of journalism than ever before. The women of Kansas are in practically all field of work today and they have already proved that they are as capable as men in all ways."
Women are more dependable than men as reporters, he said, because they do not loaf on the corner or go off to a show when sent out on an assignment, and it is the woman's con science that we now need in the newspaper field. However, Mr. Dillon will never advise a girl to become a reporter and particularly a society reporter because "there is nothing in the world that becomes harder unless it is a church trustee."
Mr. Dillon said that the day of long novels is past. The enormous number of short stories of the war are taking their place, and this generation will be dead and forgotten before the editors cease to print accounts of this great struggle.
The April number of Kansas Municipalities came from the Journalism Press today. In this number are articles on 'Saving Lives Through Efficient Organized City Health Departments,' by John J. Sippy; epidemiologist of the Kansas State Board of Health, and 'Municipal Home Rule in Nebraska,' by C. A. Sorensen, secretary of the League of Nebraska Municipalities.
Hester Jackson Wins K. U. Beauty Contest Hazel Cook is Second
Announcement Made at Huge Jayhawker Beauty Ball Friday—Farce Scores Hits
The official standing of the winners of the Jayhawker "Kansas Girls Contest" was announced at the Beauty Ball held in honor of the winners in Robinson Gymnasium Friday night. Hester Jackson won first place, Hazel Cook second, and Earline Allen third. The standing of the other six girls who were given places in the contest are Elizabeth Steen, fifth; Eileen VanZandt, sixth; Josephine Huoni, seventh; Louise Lorght, eighth; and Jessy Wattu, ninth.
Confetti and yards of paper ribbon were used in the carnival dance which was the feature of the close of the party at 2 o'clock.
The party was probably the most unique and clever one given at K. U. this year. At each place at the tables where the midnight feast was given was a small wooden hammer and a carnival hat. Scattered through the crowd were small rubber ballons. During the supper the rhythmic pounding of the hammers created the noise suggestive of a great carnival. The chorus and special dances gave while the 12 o'clock supper was being held. A hitch was without a hitch. The Beauty Contest winners were in the chorus. It was said by many to be the choice farce ever put on at the University. Donald Davis, manager, outid his soph hop efforts of two years ago.
Lawrence Bids Farewell To Twenty-Seven Men Leaving For Funston
Crowd Was Much More Serious Than Boys Who
The band played and the crowd waved farewell as the train pulled away from the Union Pacific depot a few minutes after ten o'clock this morning carrying twenty-seven Lawrence boys to Camp Funston. The boys were hilarious and in good spirits but the crowd which turned out to do them honor was silent and serious. The crowd followed the Lawrence colored band furnished on the parade which formed at the court house and marched to the denot.
Cargill Sproull, a graduate of the K. U. department of journalism last year, is here today on leave of absence from Urbana, Ill., where he has finished two months of training in the aviation ground school. Sproull will be sent to Texas for training station Wednesday morning and then he be sent to Texas for flying training. There he probably will be commissioned first lieutenant.
Besides the twenty-seven who went no the 9:58 train there were two colored boys who marched in the parade and left on the 11:52 train. Scrubby Laslett, captain-elect of two athletic teams at the University was among the men who left for Berlin by way of Funston.
The men who left this morning for Funston are: Donald S. Flagg, Robert B. Williams, Hugh Lyle Hook, Henry Louis Stover, Herbert R. Lassett, Arthur O. Stonestreet, Pat Nothy Shook, U. L. Christine, Gerhard Baerg, Frank Badsky, Walter A. McClain, Stephen E. Hodges, Byron P. Sweley, Everett D. Wood, Otto G. Thompson, Walter A. Goldtrap, Guy F. Stonebear, Charles C. Cramer, Willie McKay, Jay Richardson, Gus M. Sears, Paul E. Read, Herbert Eugene Freesse, Worden A. Roberts, Russell Rex Kendall, Richard H. Wagga, Staffion H. Hout, Clarence Kiser, David Humes Nelson.
Cargill was a star miler last year and the year before, and was joint holder of the Missouri Valley mile record. Besides being a great track athlete, Sproull was a member of the Kansan Board, Kansas City Star correspondent, and a member of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity. He is a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.

Black Helmets Pledge Twenty-six Freshmen
Initiation Will be Held Tuesday Night at Phi Kappa Psi House
The Black Helmets pledged the following twenty-six fresh wednesday noon, under the "old oak" tree between Fraser and Snow Halls:

L. Bradley, and 'ohn Bradshaw.
The new pledges will be initiated into Black Helmet Tuesday night at the Phi Kappa Psi house.
Casualties Collapse After Shrapnel Bal
The first official casualty list of the Jayhawker Beauty Ball Friday night in Robinson Gymnasium shows 10 crushed ankles, 2 cracked skulls (as a result of an accident), 18 bruised arms, 20 smashed toes, 20 ruined dispositions, and 40 sore eyes. In explanation the manager's office said that nearly all sore eyes were the result of trauma from injuries. Entanglements with arms of opposing couples were few and minor injuries resulted.
One lieutenant kept after his man for one entire dance only to run into him when the dance stopped. The long list of smashed toes is accounted for by the fact that the close order of attack used by the enemy naturally resulted in some of our forces being walked on. One captain accounted for many of these assaults and capped unscathed herself. Crushable ankles generally were due to the inexperience of some recruits in their first engagement.
The next casualty list will not be issued for another week, because of orders from secretary that the general commanding the expeditionary forces shall give out all such information. General Gambol will be responsible for the issuance of the next list.
Plain Tales From The Hill
SOCIAL NOTE
By request the sky lights were turned on at the Beauty Ball Friday night. It was part of a program to conserve the colored lights. If you don't believe this, Mrs. Brown might tell you.
Theta Sigma Phi came, wrote a hyphenated top deck in a head, and blew. Which busted the Kansan's hope of getting through the semester without busting that headline rule on hyphens.
THERE'S STILL HOPE!
William Allen White, who talked to the honorary women journalists here last week, was rotten in English when he was at the University of Kansas. At least his teacher said so. General Funston wrote the best theme of the year, Mr. White's teachermen's memoir, the great army man, while Mr. White made a great author and newspaper man.
THEIRS' STILL HOPE!
Here, consolation for the poor
English answer is:
Lost, somewhere between sunrise and sunset. 6 inches.
Finder please return to Ralph Rodkey, K. U. quarter mile.
Rodkey has been informed that he loses six inches on each stride in his 440-yard dash. He has been trying to pick up the extra six inches, because he realizes that the longer he loses the distance, he take to run his distance. Which, incidentally, will please Coach W. O. Hamilton.
Mrs. Helen Ross Lantz, grand president of the Theta Sigma Phi which held its convention here last week, likes the K. U. journalism spirit, and she told a Kansan reporter so.
"I appreciated the kindly spirit which exists between the women and the men in your daily office here. It is so much better to understand each other and be friendly, than to be constantly nicking petty quarrels. At the same time this is a constant quarrelling. I think the other way is much better."
IN 1920?
Are those boys botany students
That I see everywhere
Working upon the campus;
What are they doing it?
What are they doing there?
Law Student——
Botany students? Well, perhaps,
But first of all they're freshies
Who've failed to wear their caps.
And I'm an overseer
Who makes them pay their fines.
Just now they're set to digging
Out of the dandelions.
There will be a meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Tuesday at 3 o'clock at Myers Hall. A model Eight Weeks Club meeting will be conducted. Social hour will be held at the close of the meeting instead of at the beginning.

The Daly Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news for the ideas the University hones on, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charismatic; to be charitable; to move serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university, to allify the students of the University.

Will the "pep" men, who are shouting from every sidewalk in bold-face type, have enough pep after election to clean their posters off the campus?
TEACHERS AND A LIVING WAGE
If the Allies had some way of introducing the Irish malady into Germany they could sit back and let the Huns fight it out among themselves.
TEACHERS AND A LIVING WIDE Some of the seniors in the University are signing contracts to teach in the high schools of the state for salaries ranging from seventy-five to eighty-five dollars a month. Such wage are likely to look tempting, at least to students who have spent most of their lives in school with only a mesager allowance for expenses. This is especially true if the student has the idea, as many do, that teaching is an occupation that day for only five days in the week.
The student who contemplates requires but six or seven hours a teaching, however, should stop to consider that he has spent some four thousand dollars to secure his education, and must have a reasonable return for his investment; that he is entering the lists of wage earners, and will be expected to contribute his share for social work, church work, and war work; that he will be required to dress well and seek the best of board and lodging in order to maintain the prestige and leadership which the profession demands of him; that, in addition to the stx or seven hours a day in the classroom, he will be required to spend many hours of work outside in preparing lessons, reading papers, and making out reports; and, most important of all, that he is employed only nine months of the year.
Due to the fact that many new teachers enter the work each year without considering these things, teaching has become one of the poorest paid of the professions. As a result only the inferior teachers remain in the profession. The better ones leave it as soon as some other line of work is offered. The profession just now is suffering from such conditions, and it must continue to suffer until those just entering it learn to properly estimate the value of their services.
Why should the Dutch wait till winter is over before putting their embargo on quinine?
"SHELL FOR SHELL"
Eight hundred Germans attacked and in a glorious battle were defeated by the magnificent resistance of American troops who gave steel for steel, lead for lead and shell for shell. Simultaneously on another now well-known section of the long
Western Front eight hundred thousand and Germans were held to minor inevitable gains by French and English troops.
It is about time the Associated Press quit the style of grammar school histories and ceased to magnify skirmishes into battles. For real battles are going to come and goodness or badness only knows how such news writers will handle them. Someone was right when he said that perhaps American newspapermen had exhausted all their resources and skill in covering local fires.
It is true, however, that Americans want to know what the comparatively few soldiers they have son are actually doing. Tell that simply and directly, and in due proportion That effort will increase and eventually the proportion will be ever with what America's allies are doing. Then let the great battles them selves give the words that shall tell their story. There will be no need to borrow from the style of G. A Henty. Much less is such need just now.
KANSAN PRIZE POEM CONTEST
Every One Deserves Something
KHAKI LADS Hazel Ernst
Today, today they say good-bye And sail across the sea.
To fight, to kill, to bleed—to die To serve democracy.
They sail, they sail, on, on to France
in glory, strength and youth
To fight the demon, dragon Hun,
To smile false pride with truth.
And still they come, brave Khaki Lads
from freedom's holy land
To crush, to kill with righteous wrath;
Worshied Almighty.
Woe to the Allemand!
O woe to Prussian greed and lust!
Autocracy shall go.
The tyrant crown shall fall to earth, And crushed to earth the foe.
We pay the price—our manhood's life
The men we loved are gone.
Columbia shall bow with grief E'er peace comes with the dawn.
For day by day some loved one falls
Despite our daily prayer.
And mingles with the mighty host That sleeps forever there.
The long, long trail is stained with blood;
The battlefield is red.
The pale moon sheds her silver rays On our beloved dead.
O Khaki Lads, O lads so brave,
What can we say or do
To pay the debt of gratitude The future owes to you?
You fought, you killed, you bled—you died
Beyond the deep, dark sea,
Far from the friends, the home you
loved,
Theresa, your mother.
To serve democracy.
MENTAL LAPSES
Long, long shall wave the starry flag Beloved. Red. White and Blue.
You died that it might ever wave
O Khaki Lads for you.
"Johnny, what do you mean by calling Mrs. Jones a liar?"
"Well, my good woman. I must go now. Is there anything I can do for you?"

O Khaki Lads for you.

The Philologist
A Few Words With Him .
"You are very regular in your visits," said the Philologist. "It is unusual to find anyone who is so interested in such subjects; and when he takes such careful notes as you appointe him, he will tell you how. How does it happen that you...
Every Day
"Beg pardon! Oh! What was I saying about Latin names? I was about to say... that you would find them adequately discussed in, say, Allen and Greenough's Latin Grammar. Now, any other question?"
"No. The name 'robin' does not come from his robbing our cherry-trees, but is a diminutive of Robert. We have other birds with Christian names, for instance: Jenny Wren, Magpei, and Jackdaw. It is difficult to say they did first get those names."
The Philologist stroked his beard reflectively. "Proper names, characters in history or fiction, often become common names with a special significance. Thus we speak of a 'Macchielloelli', 'a Don Juan', 'an Edison'. Where was I? Oh! Yes. Those bird-names probably did, and some of them still do, connote something. Jenny to me suggests demureness, Mag suggests a shrew and a chatterter, and Jack suggests verticature, pranks. Notice that we have the strength also represented in "jack-screw" and "jack-plane", the versatility in "jack-knife", and the frankishness in "jack-napens" and "jack-a-lantern". In "jackass" the 'jack' simply means 'male'.
CAMPUS OPINION
"Yes, you are right. The word 'jac' is a sort of 'jack-of-all-trades.'

Why can't the students at this University learn the meaning of the word self-control? All of us realize that this is a serious time in the history of our country. We are all ready to make all kinds of promises to practice self-control that will help the government in its war work, but the trouble is that we really do not fulfill them.
We resolve to refrain from a few picture shows, drink a few less "cokes," and buy a little less candy this week than last, but when a fellow who hasn't much to do sticks his head in at the door, and shouts, "Well, let's go to the picture show; Douglast Fairbanks you know," we forget all about the good resolutions made at the patriotic speech last night, and we offer Oh Shoot. We pass a drug store and drink a "coke" or buy some candy, forging that our Friendship Fund pledge is not paid vet.
Self-control is an old word and almost every man has had it preached at him since the days of the grade school, but still it is a word the meaning of which every University man should relearn.
We buy substitutes for flour because we have to, we put three cents on a letter instead of two because we have to, we buy Liberty bonds and baby bonds for looks sake, but what do we do just because it is patriotic and our duty. The government can and probably will make laws forcing us to do certain things necessary for winning the war but why can't we do such things without being forced to it?
Nowhere has come so great a change as in the meaning of the phrase "carry on." The grimness of righteous determination has been substituted for the emptiness of frivolity.
"Cheer up. You look as if you'd lost your last friend" was originally said of the dear old woman who spent every rainy day going through the box full of clipped funeral notices of "them that were."

There is hardly a youth in the grade school or college who does not at some time have a nickname attached to him, as "Skimpy" or "Fatty," or some other based on his physical disabilities. However, the style of nicknames change from time to time. Twenty-five years ago or so, those names were called generally by their initials or abbreviation of their names.
Yes, the Profs. Had Nicknames in Youth
"Uncle Jimmie" Green said he could remember when he went to the little, red schoolhouse back in Vermont, where in order to designate him from the "Jimis" or from other Green families in the community, the boys called him "Little Jim," because he was the youngest. Later the boys dropped out of high school and got to show threatening signs of resentment, and from then on he was just plain "Jim." except to his mother who always called him "James."
Chancellor Strong claimed that the boys never gave such epithets as the present ones to their fellow-students when he went to school. "They called everyone by his initials or surname. I was always known as F. Strong."
It seems as if when Professor Hopkins was a little boy, they added "ie" to abbreviations and made pet names out of them. Any way he was called "Eddie" until he went to college where
Prof. John Ise undoubtedly had the most unique name given him. When he was at college getting his A. B. degree the boys called him "Herr Docktor." From that they developed "Hair Doctor" which they called him the rest of his college life.
Not often did they give effeminate names; but Prof. S. L. Whitcomb said that one of his teachers called him "Sadie" (Maybe he liked to tense the little girl who sat in front of him). Later the boys dubbed him "Sudkle." And the boys at school called Professor Loud, "Eliza," until he went touggle where they named him "Col" because of his ability in school politica.
he became so dignified that his classmates changed it to "Father Hopkins."
Always the Irish and Scotch have the names of Pat, "Mike" or "Mac" given them. Prof. E. W. Murray has always been known as "Pat." And Murray always went as "Mack" or "Art," and still is known by those names.
However, times have changed. The more prosaic names of former years have been changed and nowadays one

Here Is A Message For You!
WHY waste the summer months when you can just as easily use this time in giving you a good start on your college career?
You can graduate in June, 1921 by attending the
K. U. SUMMER SESSION
for three consecutive summers—in other words you cut your college course from four years down to three without losing a bit of the training. The Summer School offers over 200 courses, it is a convenient, time-conserving method of acquiring ten hours credit through its short ten weeks course. A six weeks course enabling you to receive six hours credit is also offered.
Men and women who will graduate from high school within the next few weeks should attend the K. U. Summer Session and thus "speed-up" their training so that it can be placed at the disposal of the government one year earlier if necessary!

Tryouts Start Today To Select Team That Meets Aggies May
Kansas Expects No Difficulty in Weights and in Dash Events
War Takes Many Stars
New Men Being Developed by Coaches at Both Institutions
Men to be taken to the K. U.-Kansas Aggie track meet in Manhattan May 3 will be selected in try-outs Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Coach W. O. Hamilton announced today. Some of the dash events will be run off a afternoon.
K. U. will enter this meet minus the services of Don Welty in the hurdles and pole vault, and will miss the work of John Shreve in the quarter mile and mile relay. Both men are now in service. Only Hobart is left to handle the hurdle events and he is slowly recovering from a fall which he received in the interclass meet several weeks ago. Howard is doing good work in the pole vault.
Haddock and Lobaugh look good in the dashes. The distance events probably will be divided. In the weights, Kansas should be able to best the Manhattan athletes. The done points to K. U. as a winner.
In the quarter mile there are Lobaugh or Russell and Ralph Rodkey. They should be able to beat the Farmers out of both places in this event. Welty was also a broad jumper but Howard and Haddock both have been showing good form in this event. In the pentathlon in the Penn Relay games, Haddock made better than 20 feet. Rice is good in the high jump for a first and Howard is improving in this event.
The Aggies have lost their best man reports from Aggieville say. He is Metz, the man who gave the most trouble to the K. U. men in the indoor meet in the dashes and hurdles. He was also good in the shot put. Jack Frosh, a new recruit, is said to be doing some good early season work in the high jump and pole vault. Manhattan track followers expect him to place first in the poli vault.
Clarke Works is another green man whom Germany Shultz has developed this year for the hurdles and broad jump. The half and two mile probably will give the Jayhawker runners the most trouble from present indications.
Intelligence Rating Made By Ex-Profs
Lieut. Donald G. Paterson, former instructor in the department of psychology of the University of Kansas, writes the Kansan of his work in Georgia.
"I was sent February 4, from civilian work in psychology in Camp Bowie, Texas, to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., as a first lieutenant in the Sanitary Corps, for a course of instruction in military psychology. The two months course is now finished and I am sent as Chief Psychological Examiner to Camp Wadsworth, Spartansburg, S. C. Capt. Walter S. Hunter, also of the department of psychology of the University of Kansas, also took the same course and is now located as Chief Psychological Examiner at Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala.
Each psychological staff (one in each cantonment) will consist of a chief and three commissioned psychologists, four non-commissioned officers and at least twenty enlisted men. The purpose of the work is to furnish an intelligence rating of every soldier in the draft army in order to assist in their proper placement in the military machine."
Everett and Orville Bradley, the two star freshman track athletes at the University this year, will leave Sunday for their home in Cherokee, Okla., where they will help their father on his 240-acre farm this summer. Both will be back next year.
Candy being composed principally of sugar, chocolate and nuts, is very high in food value. The ¢food Administration realizes this, and does not ask people to stop eating candy. Instead it simply requests a wise selection of the kinds of candies eaten, buying only those that contain the least sugar such as dipped nut meats, marshmallows, jellies, nut candies, etc. We make "Hoover-approved" candies -ask for them-Wiedemann's-Adv.

Kansas and Normals Are Not Yet Matched For Game Thursday
Jayhawker Nine Working Hard for Games with Missouri May 8-9-10
The Jayhawker nine, with only one week for practice before the series with Missouri at Columbia May 8, 9 and 10, will begin a series of hard workouts on McCook Field this afternoon. A return game with the Emporia Normal team will probably be played here Thursday, although Coach W. O. Hamilton has not been able to match the game definitely as yet.
Coach Hargiss of the Normals has expressed his desire for a return game, however, and he said after the Jayhawker-Normal tie game in Emporia two weeks ago that his team would beat the Kansans at Lawrence.
The Jayhawkers are confident that they will be able to down the Teachers Thursday if the game is played, as they have been playing better ball since the Normal game and will have the experience gained in the two Ames games. It was the wildness of the K. u. pitcher that gave the Emporians a tie with the men of Coach Bond in the former game, and the Jayhawker hurlers seem to have regained control since that time, as shown by the fact that they gave Ames only five walks in the two

War Service
A call comes to the University of Kansas from the Carnegie Institute of Technology asking for men who are trained as teachers in electrical courses to help them in their concentration war courses which they are offering to soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Signal Corps. Since all the instructors and students in the University are enlisted in the engineers' reserve, it will be impossible to send any one from here according to Dean G. C. Shaad of the School of Engineering.
The Institute's course is to be given this summer, and instructors in class room and laboratory work are needed to carry on this branch of the war program.
The telegram, which was received at the office of the chancellor Friday, asks if the University of Kansas has any faculty members or advance students whom it can recommend to help them in this emergency.
