The plan is to erect a monument to the memory of the soldiers who stopped the Gtrman armies in their terrifying advanc? towards Paris. The spot at Meaux where, as the peasants say, "God marked the place with his finge.- in the sand and smiled. The Gorman drive on Paris was to stop there." Tho great war is over. Araei tea's part in it was important, yet our losses were so small in comparison to those of Englana and France and the other allies, that we an. havdly able to feel the same as those people do today. But out of respect to these stiicken nations and moved by the new international feeling which has grown out of this war, America d vires to offer this gift as a tribute. We gave much to France, but she gave to he very limit of h-- le sources, her loyalty and her sons. The idea was begun in 1917 ard is being carried on now vy a national committee of sixty-fou They have asked that every student and faculty member at Nebraska make some contribution, large or small, to show his mora' support of the purpose of the memories We all know of Lafayette's g'ft to the young American republic let us not forget this dabl, and respond generously when the actual request, is made. "THE WIND DOTH BLOW" The wind ilo;h blow and with a vengeance too, at least u did" blow to our disgust and dismay. Perhaps to write on the weather, we should be prophets or clairvoyants, to- every time that we do comment, on some particular signs, the times change. Four times we have announced that "spring was here" and that day it turned to winter again, so we are wary of that subject now. But we may safely talk about the wind for it is with us certainly this time. We have been eating, thinking and looking through a mist of dust for weeks, it seems, and it must have even penetrated through into our brain, for we feel most awfully musty and dried out. Did the mld semesters "fleet uk all as seriously s;s this, or in the face of so much windy opposition, do we just sit back on the oars and let said wind blow us hither ard thither? We s'necrely hope that these cia:s ot sa ling breathlessly around the campus, losing one's precious rcme arounu the corner and welcoming ie&ves and scraps of paper into our ninuhs and eyes in every whirl-wind, will soon be over. Thou at least, we can predict spring, for it will be time for March to go out like a lamb and April rains. KEEP OFF THE GRASS The young grass is beginning to peep through the covering of dead leaves all over the campus lawns and soon will be like a velvet carpet everywhere. In an attempt to protect the tender shoots, the gardeners have put up extra railing along the walks to keep meander ing students hi the straight and narrow path. It is a temptation to cut across when time Is short and walks are long, but in view of the anticipation of real grass to walk on later, let's resist and stay on the cement promenade for a little while longer.

THE DAILY DITTY by Gayle Vincent Grubb The wind, a mighty blowing wind And laden full of dust Hew here and there and everywhere And left it's dirty crust. The trees were groaning as In pais And shop signs creaked loud; Twas hard to walk or even talk Alone or In a crowd. I saw him first a block away At sixty per at least, He ran the gale without a sail His speeding never ceased. On lookers looked as even I As on and on he came; Tho' coat tall blew and necktie too He kept his pace the same. Someone hollered Fire! and all The crowd took up the cry And dashed in wake of speeding Jake As, likewise, so did I. A full block more we rambled o The dude came to a halt For 'twas his hat we'd halted at This ditty's not my fault. Drink DELICIOUS AND REFRESHING Quenches.
