NO BAD LUCK IN 13.
Thursday a Day of Good Fortune for Prof. Bushong.
Prof. F. W. Bushong of the Department of Chemistry is convinced that thirteen is not an unlucky number. Thursday, October 13, he made a successful combustion analysis, his first in thirteen years. He used in the combustion just 13 liters of oxygen, and found 1.3 per cent oxygen and 13.13 per cent hydrogen.
Prof. Bushong has just set up the combustion apparatus for ultimate organic analysis in the new room at the West end of the basement of the Chemistry Building. This is the first analysis of its kind to be made in the Department of Chemistry here for several years.

MUST BE IN TUNE.
Artist Must Paint as He Feels Not as He Sees.
"Just like music there must be harmony in a picture or it fails in its intended purpose," said professor Griffith in speaking of the landscape pictures at the Art Exhibit. "When a painter attempts to copy nature his work is not in tune. When the artist feels the scene he is portraying he does not fail to get it in tune."
To illustrate his point the professor has arranged four pictures together, three of them in tune and the other one out of tune. The three in tune are: "A Canal in Holland", "Sunset in Berkshire", and "Spring Evening". Although each one of these is in tune the tone is vastly different. One is of a greenish tint another of a golden red hue and the other one is of silver gray color characteristic of spring.
"Slumbering Monarchs" the fourth picture is the one that is out of tune. A brilliant sky is represented in the background and in the foreground the picture is made dark by huge brown rocks and trees.
Speaking of the picture with the discord Professor Griffith said, "The painter tried to represent nature as he saw it and since nature is always changing no one can portray it in that manner.

Dear Editor:
Kick Column
I am a junior law student, the worse luck. The upper classmen in the law school have ordered me not to wear the Freshman cap. I board at a stag club of engineers and college men. These threaten to do me bodily harm if I am not wearing a cap in all public places by Saturday. Now can any one tell me what I am to do? If I wear a cap the members of the law school a hundred strong will beat me up. If I refuse to wear the cap the engineers and college students several hundred strong will faithfully tan my hide. For my part I think that the junior laws should be given a two week respite until the laws and the other schools settle their difficulties. This business of standing between two fires is not what it is cracked up to be.
YOURS IN SUSPENSE.
Editor Kansan: I would like to say a few words in answer to an article that appeared in the kick column of October 7, against the policy of the paper in regard to an editorial of a new organization and of an alleged "crawl" on a class election.
In regard to the first, the editorial showed no partiality whatever and was simply a boost due a newcomer. Nothing was said against similar ones here and the editorial was only an acknowledgement of the good efforts of the organization.
The alleged "crawl" on a news story of the Junior election, was not interpreted by the fairminded as such, but only by those who still felt the sting of defeat and were loath to see justice done a few who had suffered by the common interpretation of the news article. The editor, I believe, was only trying to be fair to both parties as an injustice had been done to only one faction. Yet it was the uninjured who took offense at the editorial. I believe it the duty of a college paper, in order to be square to all parties, to abstain from taking sides, and if by some mistake an objectionable article is printed, to try and make amends.
A NEUTRAL.
Can you tell me whether the heating system in the Library is working or not? If it is working why do they not use it? That place has been so cold during this last cold spell that a person could not comfortably study in there for any length of time. A PATRON.
Dear Editor: Why is it that the University does not start those large electric bells to ringing again at the close of each hour. I think it would be a good thing to let you know when the hours are over.
Willard Wattles '09 has a sketch entitled "Mary" printed in the October number of the Kansas magazine just issued. In the form of a monologue an old man seated before the fire with his wife is represented as recounting the experiences which they have had together. He speaks of their children and especially of the daughter who is dead and then turning in his chair to speak more directly to his wife he finds that she too has passed away.
