The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa MEMBER IOWA COLLEGE PRESS A morning paper published for the period of the war three times a week - Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday - by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Entered as second class mater at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa Subscription Rate $2.00 per year BOARD OF TRUSTEES C. H. Weller, chairman. E.M. McEwen, E.S. Smith, Gretchen Kane, Alice Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief Mildred E. Whitcomb Telephone - Black 1757 Office Hours - 8 to 12; 1 to 6 daily, Room 14, L.A. building. Managing editor Rowena Wellman News Editor Agnes Kingsbury Humorous Editor Elizabeth Hendee Exchange Editor Ethyn Williams Feature Editor Ruth Stewart Sporting Editor G.D. Evans BUSINESS STAFF Romola Latchem - Business Manager Telephone 935 Office Hours - daily, 103 Iowa Avenue "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came." - Lincoln. Night Editors Agnes Kinsbury Assisted by Kathryn Fritson PEACE Peace is a pleasant condition; already its advantages are apparrent. Mr. Hohenzollern is at last in his proper place in the social scale, dachshunds and pretzels are things of the past. Letters are no longer censored and we may buy sugar as we please. The day of reveille will soon be over and no one had to murder the bugler after all. The world's worry is at an end and at last we can work without the sense of oppression dating from April 6, 1917. The war is no longer the last thought at night and the first in the morning. There is no room for "glooms" today. Pessimists are obsolete; Let's relegate them to the past. They're a by-product of war and one of its horros. A new era is here for school, country and world. 1918 has been the best year in history, and 1919 will be better for all but pessimists. If there are any such left, let them hide. THE ANNUAL HOAX It's nearly time for the annual fuel shortage hoax. Almost any day some one with nothing to do will start the story that school is to close because coal cannot be bought. It happens every year and there is less plausibility of such a condition this year than last. Thanks to the efficiency of the fuel administration, a coal shortage is improbable. There are "flu" rumors and fuel rumors; there is a little difference in spelling, a little in subject, and less in reception. The public seems to like rumor; they welcome it. What could people have talked about the other week had there been no rumor that school would close? Of course it wasn't true, but what of it? They enjoyed it anyway. At present we're talking of demobilization of the S.A.T.C. After that topic is exhausted the fuel rumor would be opportune. We're all gullible and will probably believe it when it arrives. The non-essential citizen who manufactures rumors surely has cooperation in spreading his propaganda. Let's fool him this year and laugh sarcastically when he springs the old time hoax. Y.W.C.A. CARES FOR CRIPPLES A part of the social work of the Y.W.C.A. is to look after the welfare of the crippled children. Y.W.C.A. officers are now in search of a young woman who can devote time to teach these children clay modeling. CONTEMPORARY OPINION SANTA CLAUS IS BACK Santa Claus is back on the job. After two years of idleness, the banished saint will be allowed to deliver his wares this year. The National Council of Defense has removed the ban on Christmas shopping. Fill up the family wallet. This year Aunt Lucy will be looking for the jabot promised four years ago. The twins will be critical of the mechanical toys handed them. You can't get past Johnny or Jamie with the plea that it's war time and Santa didn't have the latest toy models in his workshop. Mary's going to demand a doll with real hair and Grandma will want the gay scarf for which she's been yearning. Perfume ought to come back into style this year, and bedroom slippers for dad. Dad's met the emergency for several years by padding the old slippers with newspapers. Cuff links, silver souvenir spoons, monogrammed toilet sets, and fancy waste baskets will all be signs of the season's greetings. The hired girl will want jewelry. Ties and socks and cigars will be back in the running with Mary Ann exhibiting once more her exquisite sense of choice. And fancy calendars will again come into their own. Taking it all in all, it will seem like Christmas. - University Daily Kansan. RECITAL WILL BE HELD AT MUSIC SCHOOL ANNEX Verda Emelyn Walter, pianist assisted by Dorothy Kelly, contralto, will be heard in a recital Wednesday evening, Dec. 11, at eight o'clock, at the school of music annex. The program is as follows: Prelude and Fugue-C minor, Bach; Romance -E flat, Rubinstein; Sonata - E minor-Allegro Moderator, Greigh; by Verda Emelyn Walter.

Long Ago, Sweetheart Mine, MacDowell; Dorothy Kelly. Polonaise, op. 40, No. 2, Chopin; Nocturne, Cchumann; Ballade-G minor, Chopin; by Verda Emelyn Walter. COOTIE GARMETS ARE STILL BEING TREATED Ten Thousand Are to Be Sent to Sandstorm Divisions - Needed For Sleeping Garments. Cootie garments will be treated in the laboratories of the University with the same speed as when the boys were in the trenches. "The work will continue,' says Mrs. Eastman, "until the last Iowa boy is back from overseas." Ten thousand garments are being made ready to send to the Sandstorm division in France. These garments were requested by these men before they sailed, but only 1000 were available at that time. Now since immediate shipment has been promised by the war department, every Iowa soldier will soon possess a suit. Every hay-stack and house in the war zone is infested with cooties, Mrs. Eastman has heard authoritively, so that now the garments which were designed purely for trench wear will be used constantly. Especially are they needed, the men state, for sleeping garments. The sanitary department of the army has promised to see to re-treating of these garments when the chemical becomes ineffective through evaporation. A small quantity of the chemical is included with each garment. ATHENA: There will be a very important business meeting in the liberal arts auditorium this afternoon at 4:30. FORMER STUDENT MARRIES Katherine Doerr, L.A '20 was married to Lieut. Raymond Kelly, of Davenport, in Philadelphia on Nov. 30. He was recently commissioned second lieutenant and has received a position in connection with the classification of returning soldiers under personnel department. Lieut. and Mrs. Kelly will live in Hamilton, New Jersey for two years. Mrs. Kelly was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Lieut. Kelly was a Beta at Ames. She was in school here until shortly before her marriage when she went to her home at Fort Madison, before leaving for Philadelphia, where she was married. Monday Mrs. Kelly was called home by the death of her younger sister Dorothy Doerr, who contracted the influenza on her return home from her sister's wedding. O.B. Rodgers, former student of the University, who finished first year of law at Chicago university, will enter the second year class in law Dec. 1. STAR SPANGLED BANNER MEANS AT ATTENTION A number of questions have been asked on etiquette when the "Star Spangled Banner" is played each day on Old Capitol oval. Civilians should stand at attention and conversations cease. This is a patriotic duty and should always be observed. If an important meeting is in session and the music is ___ the building it is not necessary __ stand, but if possible discussion should cease.
