KENNEDY AND MOSSE ONLY SEEMED TO SPEAK.
Spencer Baird, the Voice's Master, Amuses Himself With Ventrilolquistic Stunts.
Spencer L. Baird, the right guard of the Jayhawker eleven during the past season, is something of a ventriloquist. Many of the dull moments on trips taken by the squad were enlivened by the jokes which his ventriloquistic powers enabled him to play upon unsuspecting victims.
On the Drake trip after the conductor had found three stow aways on the car occupied by the team and was still slightly sus picious, Baird so controlled his voice that he seemed to be carry ing on a conversation with some one underneath the seat. Th "con" came around to his sea poked under it and gruffly i quired, "Where is that fellow who is hiding around here?"
After the dinner that was give to the squad by "Con" Squires last fall, Baird asked in his deceptive tones whether "Con" was setting up the cigars. Con looked all around but was unable to place the speaker, so he asked what was said. Baird repeated the question and this time it appeared that the speaker was Coach Kennedy. This surprised Squires for he knew that the men were not allowed to smoke, but he expressed his willingness to "come through" if the coach was willing.
On another occasion during a dinner at the Eldridge, two couples from the University came into the dining room, while the team was at the table. The men who were with the girls were well known to all the players. Baird expressed his surprise that they should be dining at the Eldridge, that they were such "fussers," and asked if any one knew the girls who were with them. He threw his voice so that the speaker was apparently Arthur St. Leger Mosse. The two victims of the joke called Mosse to account when they saw him after the meal.
Baird says that he picked up his "stunt" from observing professional ventriloquists at shows, and has since perfected it through practice.
Honor Enough at Home.
J. E. House, of the Topeka Capital, says:
"Harry Kemp wrote a Christmas poem for Collier's which the editor of that periodical rejected. The poem is printed in the current number of the University Kansas and in a column editorial the editor of Collier's is roasted to a frazzle for rejecting it. Which reminds me a little of my own experiences. My contributions are nearly always rejected by the magazines, but the Kansas newspapers always speak of them in the most complimentary terms."
Hadley Commends Frats.
College fraternities were commended by Governor Hadley in a speech before the national convention of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon, recently held in Kansas City.
"College fraternities are doing good work in the schools," he said. "I assure you of my hearty sympathy in your ideals."

Lawrence Choirs Dwindle in Size During Holidays.
STUDENT SINGERS MISSED
The organist at the Episcopal church of Lawrence is Melvin Kates, a student in the School of Law. He is the only student doing instrumental work in the churches, but 90 per cent of the choir singers of the Lawrence churches are students of the University of Kansas. Of this number, ten are soloists. Over half of these seventy singers are students in the School of Fine Arts, and several are members of the University Glee club.
Lawrence choirs are exceptionally good. There is a student body of 2,500 to select members from, and among this number are some of the best young voices of the state. Future vocal teachers, chorus leaders, and even grand opera singers are hidden in the ranks of that student body.
During the summer months and on Sundays that come during holidays the church goers of Lawrence miss the voices of the students; and in most instances the church choirs have shrunk to quartettes of the old village choir type.

Katherine Parker, Athlete and Scholar, Says College Women Make Good Wives.
Northwestern Mut. Life In. Co
L. S. Beege. 1415 Mass.
Wellesley, Mass.—The fair maids at Wellesley are indignant at the statement made in one of the current magazines that the college girl can't cook, makes an impractical and discontented wife, and is in class B with the brought-up-at-home, uncollegiate girl.
Miss Katherine Parsons, Wellesley's leading athlete and scholar, speaking today for the Wellesley students, said:
"The impression seems to be that the college girl is destined ultimately and by her own volition to become an old maid. It is laughable. A fact that may help to correct that impression, may be gleaned from college statistics, which prove that seventhings of all college girls marry. "However, perhaps that has little to do with the assertion that the college girl makes a poor an inadequate wife. Here at Wellsley the great majority of girls can cook, sew, darn stocking-perform (if called on to do so), all the little domestic service which mean so much to happiness. Indeed, from the very nature of higher training, the development of analytical powers, tact and character, it is reasonable to infer that the college girl is best fitted of any class of women to make an ideal housewife.
"College life and college training tend to make the girl well balanced, controlled and patient. In college the girl learns the lesson of respect for the rights of others.
"College teaches the relative value of clothes; that is, it displaces fine clothes in the feminine mind as the most important asset in life.
"Money also gets a setback Happiness, true happiness, is given en its high place and the college girl is its highest exponent.
"At home the college girl, if the home demands it, is fitted in spirit and practice to take hold and help in times of stress. She is more than a mere evanescent being fed on sweets and fripperies; far more. This latter idea of the college girl is too silly to deserve consideration.
"If a girl at Wellesley has a tear in her gown she mends it.
tear in her gown she mends it.
"The majority darn their own stockings; many of the girls make their own clothes. We can take care of our rooms and there are two houses in which students do most of the work. They cook and perform all but the heaviest duties. This sort of training teaches the college girl to be economical. It teaches her food values and in the end makes her twice as able to manage a home.
"The wife who has received a college education can do her work with greater skill and in less time, for she has learned the value of system.

FOOD MAY BE A LUXURY.
"Regardless of the career and regardless of social standing, the girl possessing a college degree is twice as able and twice as beneficial to herself and those around her."—New York World.
Professor Bailey Warns Against Waste in Buying Foods.
A timely question raised by Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, of the University of Kansas, in the Popular Science Monthly for December is "When does a food become a luxury?" The superficial flippant answer is--when a trust gets hold of it.
But Prof. Bailey is of a university which gives much attention to practical economics, and he warns the American public against the growing waste of money for food that gives no adequate return either in nutriment or in heat producing value. There has been a sharp discussion as to whether alcohol is in any sense a food. If it is it must be counted none the less among the luxuries. Common sense says the same about candy, which is also a food—no one buys chocolates for utilitarian reasons. The same may be said of game and of expensive imported fruits; the ordinary consumer instinctively classes them with the luxuries and is not tempted to buy them.
The case is a little different with the choice cuts of beef and mutton; it is hard to get over the feeling that beef is beef—the standard food of ordinary people in America, and that to buy the best cuts is legitimate. Yet the high prices obtaining of late have done much to reinforce the teachings of the economists, and multitudes of families are for the first time learning to utilize and enjoy the cheaper and tougher, but equally nutritious cuts.
Prof. Bailey's complaint is directed, therefore, principally at the habit of buying prepared foods without investigating the relations of their food value to the price paid. Selling in sealed packages he considers a great forward step in hygienic grounds, but at present he considers the cost excessive. For example a bushel of wheat worth $1 may when converted into "breakfast food" cost the housekeeper from $5 to $12. So we are using luxuries for food, which is like burning mahogany for fuel. There is still a great deal of educational work to be done in the field of kitchen economy.—Springfield Republican.

At a meeting of the basket-ball section of the Missouri Valley Conference at Des Moines, last month Dr. Naismith represented the University of Kansas. The interpretation of the rules was the main business.. It was decided that a player on receiving the ball standing still could advance one foot in any direction while passing it, but, on receiving it while running the ball must leave the hands before the second step. A new rule was also made prohibiting running into or charging into a man. The player must watch out where he is going as the game is to be a no contact game.
