HITS FRENCH HUMOR
Real Fun Is Cut Out of 1t by the
Great War.
Sardonlc Representations of Alleged
German Cruelty Typical of Hu-
morist's xhibition-SoIdiers
Show Sketches.

Paris.-The dreadful effect of the
war on the spirit of humor is Illus.
truted in the exhibition Of caricatures
organized by the "Humorists" for the
benefit OF their wounded comrades
and of the widows and orphans of
artists killed In action. The French
genius for making fun Of everything
has disappeared and the enemy is not
seen cOmiCally but horribly, The sub
jects are difficult for caricature, con
sisting for the most part Of alleged
atrocities.
The deterlorating influence Of the
subjects on style is seen abundantly
in the contributions Of almost all Of
the cariCaturists and illustrators.
FOrain tries to avoid topical slavish-
ness by using side themes set at the
front and suggesting amusing disCom-
forts like rain, wind and mud in Elan
ders. One is a sketch Of two dirty
soldiers in a frCnt-line trench reading
Paris papers, with the remark that
France will be saved if her civil
population hold good Another is one

lures shown are better in spirit than
the French. though most of them are
bad drawings. The subjects are char

craftsmen. The trouble with the Eng

deadly identity Of style, variety ap-
pearing only in the choice Of humor-

The sculpture shown is as poor as
most topical or humorous sculpture

hibits being champagne bottles
dressed up as drunken German sol

the official communiques are done into

of the Zouave prisoners who yelled to
their comrades to fire when the ad.

Business Enterprise.

Lawrence, Kan.-Frogs and turtles
are taking Donald Carpenter and Har-
vey Kerr through the University Of
Kansas. The two students have de-
vised scheme to supply the univer-
sity biological laboratories with frogs
and turtles for experiments and are
being well rewarded financially.
Because of the dry climate of Kan
sas few frogs or turtles are found
there. The university tried importing
the 5000 frogs and 1900 turtles II uses

but the long trip proved impractical.
On a vacation trip to the Ozarks,
Carpenter and Kerr caught a large
number of the amphibians and dumped
them in the water-filled cellar of
deserted house in Lawrence, where
they multiplied rapidly enough to
meet all the needs of the laboratories.
