HOW INVENTION BEGAN.
Lazy Man Devised Means of Avoiding Work, Says Dr. Day.
Dr. Edna D. Day of the department of home economics, lectured before the Topeka federation of Women's club Thursday. The Topeka Capital gives the following account of her address:
Dr. Day, in her talk, traced the development of women from earliest historic times to the present day, and prophesied a change and gradual evolution in the pursuit of womankind. "In the early day men did the hunting and fishing and made weapons. The women did everything else. They were the first home builders, the first tillers of the field, the first doctor who cured ills by the use of wild herbs. In fact, the women did all the work. But as they became more intelligent, they forced the men into the fields of labor, they demanded that the men work too Now man is naturally a lazy creature, and the minute a task is put before him he spends half the time he should be working, thinking out a system whereby he won't have to work. This tendency to escape labor has inspired men to the effort of invention. And by invention, and the forcing of men into the fields of labor, the entire economical scheme of things has been rearranged. The work of the home has been taken to the factories, and the work which was the woman's now belongs to the men. And the question arises, is there still enough work left in the home to keep the women profitably oocupied.
Dr. Day thinks that there is. She says that if a woman wisely spends what her husband earns, she has solved the problem in her economic independence. "It was formerly the woman's duty to weave the cloth, now it is her duty to buy intelligently the cloth which has been woven in factories." And Dr. woven in factories." And Dr. Day insists that the home must remain, that the children must be reared at home. "Food may be prepared out of the home in the future, as are the clothes now," she said, "but the home must remain as a place of rest and comfort, a place to keep one's personal belongings. And the spirit of the home, created by the wife and mother, can never be duplicated elsewhere."
Also Dr. Day strongly advocates a change in the present school system. "Wherever girls are being trained," said Miss Day, "they should be prepared for life work If they are to be mothers, they should be taught the care and training of children, if they are to be home keepers, they should be taught the principles of successful and systematic house keeping. They should learn the use and preparation of foods,and no girl should be granted a college degree who does not know these practical things, the things which will best equip her to grapple with her environment."

Art Sale for Scholarship
The Pallette club will have a Christmas sale of their work, beginning next Monday afternoon at the check stand in Fraser hall. Half a dozen oil paintings and many sketches by the members of the club will be put on sale, which lasts all week unless everything is sold sooner.

COACHES AND TEAM
OF 1910 HONORED
(Continued from page one.)
dered what that title meant, I remembered that I have been here five years and then I thought the boys were roasting me. It was not until chapel time this morning that somebody tipped it off to me that I was expected to say something about the men who will leave this year.
"First I want to say something abut Spear, who worked undiscouraged through three years without recognition, and finally made one of the best centers in the Missouri Valley. And Tommy Johnson—when he quits school you will lose a great man, one who has worked hard for the Uni versity.
Coached Clean Game.
"Finally, I want to pay a tribute to the coaches, who have always coached us to play clean. They have never taught men to hold, slug, or play foul, but have often threatened to take men out of the game at the least show of roughness. And they have never sworn at their men, which I believe is a rare thing among coaches."
Associate Coach Mosse discussed the result of the Missouri game. "I am not entirely satisfied with the result," he admitted. "I don't know why our boys didn't get started sooner. But that last half was something to go down in K. U. football history. We easily had the best of it at the end of the game, while Missouri was 'all in.'"
The exercises closed with the awarding of football ks to eight men by Dean J. W.Green,who explained the meaning of the emblem. "No team has better earned the right to wear this mark of the University honor," he said in introducing the 1910 "K" men.
At the meeting of the Sigma Xi honorary fraternity Thursday evening, the revision of the constitution of the society was discussed. Dr.C.E.McClung, who was a member of the national committee of the society, which met at Detroit this fall, made a report on the conclusions reached by them, which was considered.
WHO WILL GET IT?
Gustafson to Give a Diamond Ring to One of His Customers.
The night before Christmas someone who has been trading at the Gustafson jewelry store will be given a beautiful diamond ring without one cent of expense or without any conditions being attached.
Mr. Gustafson has been having a fine trade, the best he has ever known and that is saying a great deal, and he wants to snow his customers his appreciation, and as he cannot give a diamond ring to each one of them, he is going to give it to some one of them.
Whenever a cash sale is made at the store the money goes into the cash register and when the sale is rung up a ticket is issued by the register which is given to the customer. These tickets are numbered consecutively and when the ring is given away it will be to the holder of one of these tickets. It costs no one an extra cent and each one will get the same big value for their money that has always characterized the Gus tafson store.
The number of the first ticket given out tomorrow will be taken and the diamond will be given to some one of the many who will be cash buyers at the Gustafson store between tomorrow morning and the night before Christmas.
The amount of the purchase will not count, a ticket being issued for a ten cent purchase the same as it is for one amounting to many dollars. Greater preparations than ever have been made to make Gustafson's the holiday center of Lawrence and cases and counter are filled with the most beautiful and most dependable articles that careful selection could secure.—Adv.
Rhetoric Students Will Write to Home Newspapers.
TO ADVERTISE UNIVERSITY
Next week all the members of the various freshman rhetoric classes will be required to write an article concerning the University in general and the students of their home county in particular. This article will be issued by the Publicity department and sent to the leading newspapers in the counties over the state. The editors of the various newspapers will be asked to publish these letters before Christmas. This practice was instituted last year and was considered a most efficient method of advertising the University and informing the people throughout the state what the students from their own county are doing.
On next Monday the first three events of the inter-class track meet will be held in the gymnastium, consisting of the mile, quarter-mile, and thirty-yard dash.
Five heats will be run in each event in which contestants from all the classes of the different schools in the University will be entered.
Series of Events Begins Monday Afternoon in the Gym.
The events have been so aranged that distance runs will alternate with dashes each day in order that one man who has ability for both events, will not be forced to enter two distance events on the same day.
A bulletin containing the order of the events and the rules of eligibility has been posted in the gymnasium.

A BIOGRAPH
Urged Conquering Spirit
"An American," said Dr. W. A. Powell of the First Presbyterian church of Lawrence in his chapel talk Friday, "is one who, wherever he is wants to be somewhere else." He went on to tell how we as Americans should inherit the conquering spirit of our forefathers. This according to the speaker cannot be accomplished without the following prime factors, liberty, equality and fraternity. By liberty he meant that a man should meet the problems of life unharmed by the bonds of despotism. The speaker defined the second as the right of all men, under God, to make the most of themselves. The last is but an outcome of the first two principles.
Dr. Powell urged the study of history for thus we would become acquainted with the great constructors of the world. We should not only study past history, but the history of our own time as it goes on around us today, he said.
