"HUSH WEEK."
A "hush wi'ik." for the metropolis
of our country was recently pro
claimed by Mayor Hylan. People
were usketl lo refrain from all un
necessary noise during the week.
Automobile honking was reduced to a
minimum, says the University Daily
Kansan, in advocating just such a
system for Kansas University.
A funny scheme, you say?
Dut wait a minute.
During "hush week" in New York
City, ferry boats were silent, sirens
were muffled and people in the hos
pitals improved in an alarmingly fast
manner.
The sounds that feature the activi
ties on' the streets surrounding the
Nebraska campus indicate that a
"hush week" here would not be out
of place probably a "hush year"
would be more appropriate. Especial
ly in Nie vicinity of Social Science
hall do we hear the sounds that
make us wonder why professors in
that building do not adopt the mega
phone as the means of conveying
words to their students.
Our cars catch the puffings of a
disabled "lizzie" and the sounds of a
sputtering motorcycle. We hear a
floundering pedomotor and a chug
ging tractor. We hear hoots and
yells in foreign tongues that would
make a speaker of seven languages
tongue-tied.
Students leaving classes in Social
Science hall early seem to try to give
the impression that the structure is
being turned into a ''boiler factory,"
using the expression of the Daily
Kansan. Lectures are disturbed every
day by the drivers of gasoline chariots
who seem to think that they have "a
good car because it kicks up a large
amount of ear-wrecking atmosphere."
Let's muffle our noise-making
propensities and remember the other
fellow, reminds the Daily Kansan.
THE SHIRT-TAIL PARADE.
The annual shirt-tail parade, which
is a climax to "Compet Day," will be
staged Thursday night. The snake
dance through Lincoln's streets is one
of the most cherished traditions of the
University.
Every man who does not take part
in this parade lacks the spirit that
goes to make him a true Cornhusker.
lie lacks the fine points that go to
make him the embodiment of Ne
braska loyalty.
The parade is not limited to those
who exhibit gaudy shirts other
modes of dress are invariably worn.
The costumes usually range from
pajamas to B. V. D.'s. It is not an
unfamiliar sight in the shirt-tail
parade to see color mixtures and a
conglomeration -of garments that
would make a color fanatic take to his
heels.
When the call sounds Thursday
night, jump into line and march. If
the custom of other years is carried
out, you will be rewarded with smokes,
candy and drinks, provided you in
clude la your itinerary a number of
down-town stores and ice cream
emporiums.
THE LAST LAP.
A strange feeling may have come
over you this morning when the
examination schedule for the second
S'ared y0U in th ce.
School v'U DOt rea,ize that the
terZT6 DOt,1Uite rea talk
not 6 bteSt3- Perl-PB you were
toit kno!l Tour fate wiU be
0meUely kn now in a very short
i0K,lUni mld"niellt "'
wr bira it la the morning this hot
weather. (Figuratively speaking, of
course). If you do not need to light
(ho proverbial resin, and examinations
are no great obstacle to you, it is
probably better than you do not
"cram."
We think it has been well settled
that much "cramming" at the laBt
minute does not materially raise a
poor grade, especially in some sub
jectsand under some instructors.
Waiving this, ignoring what methods
you may uso granting that they are
lawful, here's luck to you in the finals
wo hope you may come up alive
ni:d kicking for next year. (Warning:
don't make your kicks KNOCKS.)
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
I 'I
(University of Washington Daily.)
A BIT O' NATURE.
Some say that it is just plain lazi
ness, this spring fever, but it isn't.
Its results ae just the reverse of
those of laziness. Whereas the one
leaves its victim morally and intel
lectually weak, the other gives to his
thoughts an exaltation which lifts
him for a moment into other realms.
Secrets float gaily on the driving
wisps of cloud which steer across the
sky secrets which man should know
They hide in the depths of clear cold
i-troanis. in the foliage of ancient for
ests, waiting for a discerning eye to
ny them out. And they are matters
worth the knowing, more than hooks
and papers, for they are part of that
life about, which books are written.
When a downy, shimmering, feath
ered bit of life alights on the window
and clamors for attention shall it be
denied In favor of teh Mall Indian
theory? Look what if brings you!
A bit of the mystery of life, a snxtch
of nature's melody, a love of living
things and a gentleness and kindliness
which that love engenders. This little
bird is a priceless volume from the
library of the universe and see what
an attractive binding!
The pines swaying in a high wind
brings a naive wonder which every
philosopher mst have ere he can
think big things. To gaze upon the
growing things and wonder is good
for the soul. it brings a humility
which man Is prone to forget.
Iook what way you will, you see
things which make you glad that life
is yours, and convince you that it is
worth the- living Indeed. What good
your book knowledge ' in the face of
such things? Hook knowledge must
come after you have convinced your
self of the delight of life, and it is in
spring that nature reminds you again,
each year, lest you have forgotten.

This is the first known shipment of
hatching eggs of this kind out of the

the state will watch with great Inter
