IN SOCIAL CENTER WORK
University and Downtown Girls Meet Tonight to Organize
Literary
FOLK-DANCING A FEATURE Wm. Rose Abbott to Have Charge Programs Social Rather Than Literary
Twelve or fifteen of the University girls together with a like number of girls who work downtown will meet Wednesday night to form a Social Center Club. The meeting will be held at the Y. M. C. A. Building in town. This is the first attempt in Lawrence at carrying out the Social Center idea, a movement which is being carried on all over the state.
The idea is to have a club in which the girls downtown and those at the University may come to know each other. It is hoped that the school building can be obtained for the meetings. Mr. Ralph Spotts who is traveling in the interest of Social Center work for the University Extension Department has helped in the plans and plans of making it as it is the first of its kind in the state. Most social center clubs are neighborhood affairs.
The first meeting will be devoted largely to electing a committee on con
stitution and on program. Half of the regular meetings is to be given to folk-dancing, with Miss Rose Abbott of the University Gymnasium as teacher. This folk-dancing has been found very enjoyable and successful in many other such clubs. The rest of the time will probably be spent in other activities of a social rather than a literary nature. Miss Mary Redding has charge of the plans for the club at present.
A few extra places at the Co-op Club at 1345 Ky. Terms, $3.50 per week. Bell 445

Notwithstanding the fact that you, as well as a large number of our Lace Department friends, undoubtedly appreciated the wonderful lace values we took pleasure in submitting to you during 1911, and while you may have been entirely satisfied with the money-values you invariably found at the Kress Lace Department—still we are not content to show the same or equal values as last year though they might be somewhat better values than other merchants'; for if our lace-values are not vastly superior and beyond all possible comparison, then we have not lived up to our ideal nor done as well in the buying for Kress customers as it is within our power to do.
We want you to expect better and greater values than those which surprised you last year and, in inspecting our Baby Irish, Clunys, Linens, Torchons, All-Overs, etc., we would like to have you bear this statement in mind for we feel confident with you to see our 1912 lace values is but to secure your further approval and appreciation that we have "made good" in our efforts to supply your 1912 lace-needs with lace values that are unsurpassable.
"A Kress Customer--always a Kress Customer." This is true because while the KRESS SERVICE, courtesy and attention to patrons may be imitated, KRESS VALUES cannot even be approached. To prove this and at the same time permit yourself to become a permanent Kress patron, compare one yard of our Valenciennes lace at 60 per yard with the nearest approach in quality, design and pattern you can find elsewhere, note the difference in prices--that's all.
The early shoppers will have the advantage of the selection; that is their privilege, of course.
OPENING LACE SALE NEXT MONDAY.
We extend to you a cordial invitation to inspect our 1912 Lace Department. Serviceably yours.
There is nothing unusual, extraordinary or mysterious about our ability to secure exceptional and unusual lace-values, for our buying power (purchasing for over one hundred Kress stores) enables our experienced buyers to secure and submit for your approval the best, newest and most appropriate laces, designs and patterns which the foreign lace markets have to submit; consequently, we are telling you in advance of our

GRAFTERS AFTER HIM
Would Have H. C. Simpson Spend His Money on Their Inventions
Henry C. Simpson, a freshman in the'College who has but lately inherited considerable property from his grandfather, is having trouble in retaining possession of his money now that he has it. He has received no less than fifteen offers from people who wish to "let him in on the ground floor" of a good money making proposition. He has been asked to buy stock in corporations ranging from the manufacture of cheese to acroplanes. In most of these cases he has ignored the letters but in a few instances he has written back that he does not desire to invest his money in that certain or rather uncertain line of business.
The inventor also explains that it may be used as a sort of refrigerator by "banging it up in the cellar away from ants and other small domestic animals."
His latest offer is from a lady in Red Bird, Nebraska, a village which boasts of "two stores and a postoffice in a building by itself." This offer was to purchase, for the nominal sum of $25,000, the patent rights in an up to date lunch box. This box the inventor says will, as soon as it is placed on the market, be in great demand by the people who attend picnics as it is so constructed as to carry "cakes and pies with the fussiest kind of trimmings without smashing them the smallest mite." The photographs which accompany the offer, gives one the impression of a gasoline bake-oven with the handle on the ton instead of the side.
The inventor is sure that Fourth of July, G. A. R. and lodge pienics are increasing in number every year and that she has read of some people receiving as high as $3,000 for a single invention but that she is willing to sell for a little less if the deal can be closed immediately.
Mr. Simpson deelines to say whether or not he will purchase the inventor's right.
EDUCATIONAL PAMPHLET OUT
Dean Johnston's Office Sending Out Fifteen Thousand Copies.
Fifteen thousand copies of an important educational pamphlet are this week,出去 from the office of Prof. Chas. H. Johnston, Dean of the School of Education, to the various high schools over the state. This pamphlet contains the principles which will govern the educational policy of Kansas for the year 1912.
Some space is devoted to the Teacher's Association recommending the association to take steps toward introducing a better system of protecting the health and morals of the public school pupils.
The book discusses many problems of general education, including work in the grade and high schools, normal institutes and denominational schools. The writer of the book advocates the teaching of hygiene, sanitation and preventative medicine in all the high schools of the state.
The pamphlet also gives a complete report of the Committee on Resolutions which was adopted by the Kansas State Teachers' Association at its last meeting.
STUDENTS DO CHARITY WORK
President Vincent's Address at Minnesota Obtained Services of 8
Eight students of the University of Minnesota have volunteered their services to the Associated Charities. After listening to an address on the duties the students owe to the community, by their president, Geo. E. Vincent, they decided to give all their spare time to the charity work.
The May Festival at the University of Minnesota netted $1,500 and the Men's Union got the proceeds.
Seven of the eight who volunteered are women and they began work immediately. Several of them went to the headquarters of the association and received requests for clothing and food from the poor over the telephone. Their strenuous efforts were appreciated by the association and the officers gave them all the assistance possible. They will continue their work as long as the cold weather continues.
Final examinations have been abolished at the University of Nebraska.

Drink To Whom Drink Is Due.
Old Bobby Burns was wondrous wise,
A lyrical man was he.
His purple nose, his lustrous eyes. And a song, were one in three.
His thoughts were of the flowing kind,
They flowed from beneath his hat. Truer words can never you find,
That "a man's a man for a' that?"
The Scotch may think, the Scotch may drink.
And Scotch is drunk forever.
Then let's take a drink of good Scotch ink
To Burns—Clink! Clink! All together!

The student body of Washington University has decided to adopt the honor system.
Yale Gave 22 Letters.
Yale has awarded twenty-two “Ys” to players who took part in the Princeton and Harvard games. This is the largest number ever given in a single season and it has called forth a storm of protest from the "old grads."
