START ENGINEERS'
PARADE AFTER CHAPEL
Chancellor Favors Noon to Avoid Interrupting Other Classes
TO DELAY "FEED" ON LINKS
Thomen, Vice-President of Engineer Says "Big Show" Will Start After Morning Services.
the committee of Engineers in charge of making arrangements for the parade on Engineers' Day March 29 is deliberating over the time for starting. It is understood that Chancellor Strong has asked that the parade start at 12 o'clock this year instead of after chapel as last year. In this way it would not interfere with the morning classes in the other schools.
To postpone the start until 12 o'clock would delay the other features of the day. After the parade through the downtown streets, it probably would be late when the men reached the golf links for the "feed." In order to start the track meet or McCook field at 2 o'clock, it would be necessary to rush through the meal.
The Engineers will not hold classes in their building at all on the day of their annual celebration. According to Martin K. Thomen, vice president of the Engineers, the parade will start immediately after chapel. It was impossible to get the Chancellor's views of the matter today as he is in St. Louis.
The Engineers will attend chapel in a body in the morning and in the evening after the celebration on McCook field will give a dance in the gymnasium.
"BILLY" PROVED FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Student Directed Comedy Cleared Expenses and Made $125
The Thespian Dramatic club held a meeting last night to hear the manager's report on the financial end of "Billy," which was presented by the club a few weeks ago. In a detailed report Manager Ik Lambert recounted the expenditures for one of the most expensive plays that has been given at the University in several years. After all debts contracted for "Billy" and a number carried over from last year, were paid, there was $125 left in the treasury.
The meeting was attended chiefly by the members of this year's cast, all of whom ordered The斯朋 pins. A few plans were outlined for selecting a play to be given next fall. The斯朋 play this year was the first student directed play ever given at the University.
Made a Hit on The "Contenong." Albert Spalding, the American violinist, a player with a European reputation, will give the fourth number of the winter Fine Arts recital course in chapel Tuesday, March 5. Andre Benoist will accompany Mr. Spalding.

A new ventilating system has been installed in the Museum for the benefit of the medics. To be more correct we should say that a ventilating system has been installed there. Before this there was no ventilation. The new system was made necessary by opening of the windows from the floor and because of the heavy gases which are liberated in the work there.
Above eleven of the operating tables overhang large galvanized hoods. Each hood is connected at the top with a large pipe. All of these pipes open into another larger pipe which connects to an opening above the level below the level of the windows so that with a window open, a good circulation is formed.
Copies of the college dailies throughout the country will be furnished to the Wisconsin Union reading rooms from the exchange table of The Daily Cardinal.

The class in cooking yesterday held a taffy-pull in the commons rooms in Fraser. Having, however, a practical turn of mind they did not eat the candy, but sold it.
Of course there were minor details to decide such as whether taffy should be made with cream of tartar or soda or both but this problem soon settled, (in favor of the soda) and did not long retard the fun of the taffy-pulling.
CLASS IS NOT ALL WORK

Many package libraries of the Extension division of the University are being used by the students of the high schools of these tate and otl arcs iore $ \text{d} $ in research work. Forty-two of the libraries were sent out from the offices of the Extension division yesterday, raising the total number of the libraries in use, at present, to the four hundred mark. This is higher than it has ever been since the organization of the division.
James $ \mathbf{B}_{r} $ , it may be remembered is the dog who assists the state water analyst by licking the labels for the bottles.
"Since September 1, 1911, the libraries have been used practically 1200 times," said Ralph Spots this afternoon, "and I attribute the extensive use of the libraries to the interest that most of the high school students have taken in debate and oratory this year."
The Weather

"Mr. Bulletin, Here's Our Hand!"
The latest exchange to come to the Daily Kansan desk is that published by the prisoners of the Kansas State Penitentiary. The first number of the Penitentiary Bulletin was circulated on February 9, 1912. This four page paper is edited and printed by the prisoners themselves, although it is under control of the Warden and the Penal Board. The Bulletin contains news of the prison, jokes, clippings, and editorials, it is in fact a miniature newspaper except for its lack of adverising. The chaplain edits its humorous column.
The last number of the American Journal of Science contained an article by Prof. W.H. Twenhofel, of the Geology Department, entitled "Physiography of Newfoundland." This is a report of the work done by an expedition sent out in 1910 by Yale University. The paper describes the topography of Newfoundland and includes its geological history.

SHE EARNS SHECKELS FOR WOMAN'S HALL
An Alumna Gives Hints on How to Get a Building
Building
The alumna throughout the country are responding readily with money for her dormitory fund. Some of the omen earn the money they give by original and often unique methods. The spirit of boosting the fund is not limited to the alumnae in Kansas done but extends to the alumnae in other states as well. Here is part of a letter from a member of last year's class telling how she earned some money for the "dorm" fund.
"I am sending you a couple of checks to help swell the "dorm" fund. Part of this money I earn is extracted from the family. For instance, instead of letting them buy candy, I make it and let the profit go to the dormitory fund. My mother and sister are willing to employ me to shampoo their hair rather than it itselfes or bother to go down town. And, of course, I am glad to help on the cause. "My outside revenue comes from pictures and food, as doughnuts or cake. If people want pictures I have snapped with my kodak, I supply them and explain that it is for the University of Kansas dormitory fund. They seem surprised that one living out of the state, as I do, should take so much interest in Kansas."

WILL POINT THE WAY TO NEW INDUSTRIES
Clay Testing Laboratory at the University Now Almost Equipped
TO UNEARTH KANSAS WEALTH
No Need Then to Send Outside The State For Terra Cotta or Other Clay Products.
"Although Kansas is richer in clay of a certain class than any other state in the Missouri Valley, yet she is the most backward in utilizing these resources," said B. L. Wolf, a graduate of the University and an experienced mining engineer, who is now installing the clay working machinery in the south wing of the Geology and Mining building.
A complete brick and tile making plant is being set up in which samples of clay and shale received from all over the state will be tested for their value for the making of bricks. This will do away with the present necessity of sending the samples to manufacturers of brick making machinery who in many cases allow their desire to place an order for machinery influence their report on the true commercial value of the clay.
A tempering pan, mud brick augurs, a cutting table, and a repress with dies for brick, hollow tile and roofing tile, a dry press machine and a kiln fitted with gas and steam, have been set up and within a few days will be in operation. Within a week pottery tables for the use of the department of Fine Arts will be added.
"With this plant we can subject' the clay to normal conditions of manufacture which is the only way to determine its value," said Mr. Wolf this morning. "It is the aim of the department to increase the clay industries of Kansas so that it will be unnecessary to send to Missouri for terra cotta as was done for the new Administration building."
RUTH CADY GIVES RECITAL

TO SHINE THEIR WAY INTO A NEW CHAPTER HOUSE
If the future members of a certain sorority have a new chapter house, it will be due to the energy and originality of some of the active girls. They have decided that they just must have a new house, and as there seemed to be no other way open, a novel plan has been hit upon.
Every girl is to earn her share by real manual labor or business ability. One energetic young lady, who has a good line of talk, is engaged in the lucrative business of shampooing and manicuring her sorority sisters. Another has purchased cholocate nut bars at wholesale and is earning her share easily. It makes it real handy not to have to be running to town for a
supply of sweets, and the girls do not think of this scheme long
Down in the basement is a shoe shining parlor which rivals the Attic emporium uptown. The lustre imparted to faded and dingy foot-wear is said to be remarkable, and the nickels saved into the building fund. If the present plants grow wearisome and the girls long for variety, they will undoubtedly find other means. Indeed, they may even follow our examples by visiting Missouri co-eds and take care of the faculty babies. The girls say that if any one has any suggestions to offer they will be gratefully received.
