COAL IS PLENTIFUL,
SAYS PROF. HAWORTH
State Geologist Says Lots of Fuel Is Right Under Mt. Oread
WATER-POWER IS OVERRATED
So Unreliable it Can Never Supersede Coal and Fuel Oil as an Energy Producer.
Are you one of those pessimists who keep insisting that the world's coal supply is about to become exhausted? If so, here is balm for your anxieties. Prof. Erasmus Haworth, State Geologist of the United States, found coal deposits in Douglas County alone to last the whole county several hundred years.
"Of course," said Professor Haworth, "very little of this is being mined now, for with the railroad facilities we have, it is cheaper for the consumer to buy coal that is shipped in. But we have it here, nevertheless, in case of emergency. I fail to see why some people talk of the coal supply giving out. There is coal everywhere. Why, in Wyoming along there is coal enough to last the United States a thousand years."
In commenting on a statement recently made by Dr. Richard C. Maclaurin, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in which he asserted that coal was fast becoming a thing of the past as a power producer, Mr. Haworth said: "The idea is abused. To be sure, water power is developing to a wonderful degree, but at the same time we should not ignore the terrific amount of oil and coal that is being consumed as fuel.
"Combustible material always has been and to a great extent always will be, the chief source of heat and power. Producing electricity and power by water is really applicable to but comparatively few places. Not a drop of water which falls in Nevada runs out of the state. Much the same conditions prevail in Utah. How, then, can we talk of trans-continental trains run by water-generated power?
"Last year 24,000,000 barrels or oil were used by railroads alone for fuel, out of the 210,000,000 barrels produced. The yearly consumption of coal in the United States is approximately 500,000,000 tons. Figures don't lie. While water power is coming rapidly to the front, it is applicable more for certain things an in certain places.
"Our own power plant here in Lawrence has a duplicate fuel system, so that when the water fails as a power producer, as it does nearly every year, the power may be generated with oil or coal.
"So we needn't worry after all. There is no immediate danger of our having to go cold in the winter time."
Chimes for University of California.
The University of California will erect a huge granite tower three hundred feet in height that will contain an observation balcony and a set of chimes. This structure will be erected on the campus overlooking the bay and the City of San Francisco. It is the gift of the late Mrs. K. Jane K. Hather who has made gifts to the University totaling about $600,000.
Self-Government at the Other K. U.

THE NUTHATCH CAN CREEP LIKE A FLY
Head Downward Along Tree limbs He Goes, a Living Death to Bug Pests
It must be a topsy-turvey world that the white-breasted nuthatch looks out over, for his peculiar power of climbing head downwards on the trunk of a tree, or crawling along the underside of a limb like a fly, enables him to get some unique bird's-eye views of nature.
No climbing bird is more nimble or active than Sitta Carolinensis Carlonensis, as the scientists call him. His long hind toe enables him to engage in more trying exercises than the woodpeckers or creepers will attempt, even with the added support of their tails.
He is a bird of tree trunks, rather than the underbrush, and makes a living by eating hibernating insect pests. He is smaller that the English sparrow. His familiar house cry of "yank yank," is often the first notice of his presence. Cold and snowy weather is his delight; as the mercury goes down his spirits seem only to go higher.
He is a Plain-clothes Bird.
The he is a Plain-clothed bird. The bird can be easily recognized by his black underparts, the black patch on his back and crown and his white underparts.
UNIVERSITY CALENDAR
He is usually a resident where found, but drifts slightly south in the winter from his nesting site. More frequently in some deserted woodpeckers hole, than his own excavation, his mate lays sometimes as many as 10 white, blue-flecked eggs.
Their peculiar name, nutchatch is derived from their habit of hacking open nuts, which they have wedgeed in the bark of trees, with their strong gusts. A. P. B.

Aloft
By Walter Hill
Leavenworth High School, March 7—When the students of the Leavenworth high school arrived at school this morning the large numerals '13 met their gaze. The figures were painted in white and were about four feet high. The numerals were placed on three sides of the chimney. The painters left no clue to their identity. This is a custom that has been observed in the school for many years, although forbidden by the school authorities. Last year three members of the class of 11 "11 were suspended for doing this but it is very doubtful whether or not the guilty ones will be found this year. "I don't know who did it," say all the juniors.

After his two years of college he was twice county treasurer and has since engaged in the zia mining and the telephone business with success. He said today, "If you get the chance, by all means go to K. U. You'll never regret it. I look back upon my two years there as among the most pleasant of my life. Maybe I didn't learn a great deal, but the acquaintances I formed were invaluable, and I think my mind was broadened to a great extent and I acquired a broader outlook of life. And I believe that's one of the chief benefits of a higher education."

Udall High School, March 7.—In the basket-ball game between Winfield high school girls and Udall high school girls at Winfield, Friday, March 1, Winfield won by a score of 19 to 15.

Snow Postpones Field Day
Abilene High School, March 7—W. O. Steen, county superintendent of public instruction, head of the association in charge of the Dickinson County Field Day, has decided to postpone that event until April 13 as April 12, the former date, is one upon which meetings will be held at most of the rural schools of the county. Another reason is the fear that the snows will not have melted sufficiently to allow outdoor practice by the various teams.
On the Vexed Question.
Abblene High School, March 7—
The Senior English class will dis-
bate Friday on the question:
"Should Women be Allowed Equal
Suffrage?" Four students have
been assigned to the affirmative and
five to the negative side.
The girls' basket-ball team has made a total of 114 points this season to their opponents' 71. The girls feel proud of their record as Udail is the smallest high school in this part of the state—the total number enrolled being 38.
The girls of the domestic science class have ordered a home economics badge. The pin is a seal in gold and dark blue.
Mr. Pryor, a former student of the University, was in town last week on business.
Where Library Books Are Read
Another shipment of library
books was received Friday, March 1.
That the high school students were
anxious to get them was shown by
the fact that by evening nearly all
had been taken out to be read.
About fifty volumes have been added
to our library this year.
