WEAR WARM CLOTHING
In order to conserve coal as much as possible, a minimum amount
of fuel Is being used at the University and the heat is turned off
early In the day. It is essential under these circumstances that
students dress warmly. Because the body is at a lower temperature
when in a seated posture than when erect or moving about, those
who are seated in underheated or cold classrooms for long periods
of time at a time should meet the emergency by an increase in the
amount of clothing worn. Warm underclothing and plenty of it is
necessary. Waists of georgette crepe and similar light material are
to be avoided! Woolen hosiery should be worn. Prof. O. J. Ferguson
has proven as a result of experiments carried on in his own home
that the temperature at the floor level is from ten to twelve degrees
lower than that at the ceiling. The girls especially need warmer
clothing and plenty of it, for as a rule, men dress more warmly than
women. Such precautionary methods are essential at this time as a
means of safeguarding health as well as ensuring comfort.
THE CHRISTMAS SEAL DRIVE
Only three days remain In which to have a share in stamping
out the white plague by buying the little Christmas Red Cross seals.
The sale of the stamps closes Wednesday. They may be purchased
at booths in many places down town and will probably be sold on
the campus one day this week.
It may not be known to some that the Red Cross is connected
in name only with the sale of these seals, and that the campaign is
conducted entirely by and for the benefit of various tuberculosis
associations. The Red Cross is, of course, by its very nature, deeply
interested in the work of these associations .and individuals con
nected with the Red Cross are in many ways aiding in the sale of
seals; but the Red Cross is not conducting the campaign. The
National Tuberculosis Association has for many years used the Red
Cross Christmas seals as a means of securing funds to carry on its
work. The proceeds will be used to bring to the attention of the
public the damage tuberculosis does throughout the country and the
methods of its prevention, as well as in a direct endeavor to stamp
out existing cases.
Lincoln has a visiting tuberculosis nurse whose work is sup
ported by the sale of the Christmas seals. Fifty per cent of the
money collected locally by their sale is used In the local work, forty
percent goes in to the state headquarters for state work, and the re
maining ten per cent Is used for the national program. Whether or
not Lincoln may continue to have the services of the visiting nurse
depends upon the response to the drive now so nearly over.
THE RAG DOLL
The season has again arrived when the women's pages of various
periodicals feature among their directions for home-made Christmas
gifts the perennial rag doll.
The current suggestion calls for an old pair of white stockings,
water collors to paint the features and hair, finely snipped paper in
lieu of the expensive cotton for the necessary stuffing, and any sort
of goods the maker may have handy to clothe her ladyship withal.
Following the diagram a treasure is produced to delHH the heart
of some small girl, and all goes merrily as the Christmas bell.
Whatever the psychological reaction may be, the average
mother of many dolls loves the rag doll f:r better than any creation
of the most facous chorus. And if, penhange, she han put her to
gether herself, however crude and homely the result, she loves her
all the more. She is a part of herself, a wonderful imitation of the
real flesh-and-blood child of the real mother.
This nascent bit of womanhood is not a isolated member of
society. We all love our rag dolls which some beneficent spirit
brings, or which we fabricate for ourselves. And every t -educational
institution is a kind of rag-doll factory. Every young woman who
enters its doors not only dolls herself up lth all the c Ids and ends
at her command, but also makes out of the college m.:n whom shn
elects to favor, a most attractive dressed up symbol that pleases her
the more as she fills him out here and Core in her min i's eye, and
clothes him with the gifts and graces of her changing dreams.
The little boy usually scorns to play with dolls. H is a terrible
savage, a mighty hunter, an invincible warrior; but whea he becomes
a man he falls under the power oi the doll-spirit along with his de
Totlon to the real lady of his selection. He lends himself delightedly
to her exquisite artistry as he tries his own hand upon himself, and
all unconsciously he revels in his touch upon the doll his doll seems
to be, and what she may become.
Eons old Is the symbol of the rag doll. Long before man and wo
men and children ever were, the necessity for human expression
waited the fullness of time. To make something to fill a want and
then to love it because It is on'e very own, to picture ourselves and
other people as we would have them be, is just the same old principle
of reproductive life coming forth over and over again. "In the spring
the young man's fancy llphtly turns to thoughts of love," but Christ
mas time is all the time, so be that we can only hold fast to the
things our rag dolls stand for. and keep on playing our rreative
,nie. The University Daily Kansan.
