RABIES ON INCREASE
SAYS DR. M. T. SUDLER
Conditions Demand Legislation Providing Most Stringent Quarantine
ECONOMIC LOSS IS GREAT
University Hospital at Rosedale Has Treated Fifty-one Cases This Winter—Proper Care Needed.
A warning to the people of Kansas calling attention to the rapid increase of hydrophobia in this state has been sent out from the University of Kansas hospital, operated by the School of Medicine. Dr. M. T. Sudler, associate dean of the school, says that the "conditions are so grave as to call for legislation providing the most stringent quarantine."
Fifty-one cases of hydrophobia have been treated at the Rosedale hospital this winter. Unless treatment can be given before the development of the disease begins, there is no power in medical science that can avert death. Moreover the loss in human life is only a part of what the state suffers by the prevalence of rabies. The economic loss through the death of stock runs into large figures. One man treated recently in the hospital recovered, but all of his stock, bitters at the same time, died.
That a large part of the relatively great number of cases of this disease could be prevented by proper care and watchfulness is the belief of the University authorities, backed up by the experiences of other states and of such a country as England where hydrophobia is almost unknown, as a result of strict quarantine of all dogs entering the country.
By giving the treatment at actual cost, the University hospital saves the people of the state many thousands of dollars in a year; but the purpose of the hospital authorities is to make a complete saving not only of money but of time. The University hospital can realize that laws can be framed to remove this menace.

SUSIE LEARNS YELL AND STARTS A FRAT
When interviewed this morning by a Daily Kansan reporter Susie, one of the pups who has enrolled in the department of psychology of the University, declared that she liked college life very well and that she and her mates have made great progress in their search for knowledge.
Susie has organized a freshman fraternity which is composed only of members of the class who have proved themselves to be good fellows and whose scholarship averages "one." She says that they are fast getting the College spirit.
"We began yesterday," said Susie, "to learn 'Rock Chalk.' I like a more snappy yell like the nine Harvard 'Rabs,' though.
"Some tall, slim man came down to our room and told our teacher, Professor Dockeray, something about typing some sort of a receptacle used for preserving tomatoes to our tails because he didn't like our college yells. Prof. Dockeray talked to him, and the tall Prof. talked back, and finally the tall Prof. went away from here,
"Say, how are the eats at the Baby Commons?" said Susie suddenly changing the subject. "We've got to bone for a quiz."

HELPS A CITY SOLVE ITS WATER PROBLEM
Prof. Hoad Leaves for Winfield to Investigate Sewage
Disposal
NUMBER 44.
Prof. W. C. Hoad, professor of sanitary engineering, and Charles H. Chandler, state architect, leave today for Winfield where they will investigate the sewage disposal at the State Imbecile hospital.
The sewage from the state institution at present flows into Timber creek and thence into the Walnut river not far from the intake of the Winfield city water works. The State Board of Control has an appropriation to build a wastewater treatment plant in this area and so protect the water supply of Winfield form pollution.
The present visit of Professor Houn and Mr. Chandler is for the purpose of deciding definitely upon the character of a subject in order to meet the rather exacting conditions.
From Winfield Professor Hoad will go to Pratt to inspect the progress of the construction work on the new fish hatchery. Consultations will be held with Prof. L. D. Lyche and the resident engineers O. C. LeSuer and A. W. Young regarding the direction of the work in the future.
Professor Hoad did similar work last week for Burr Oak, Augusta, Cherryvale and Lyndon.
STILL ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE CLASS OF 1930

KANSAN WILL PRINT DIRECTORY APPENDIX
Issue of April 1 to Contain a Revised List of Addresses
IF YOUVE MOVED, LET US KNOW
Changed Phone Numbers of Student and Faculty, are Especially Desired for Directory Supplement.

This will contain the names and addresses and telephone numbers of all new students as well as those of old students and faculty members. It will also list the addresses and telephone numbers. It will be in a form convenient for cutting and pasting in the "green book."
In order that the supplement be complete the Daily Kanan asks the assistance of all of its subscribers. If you have not moved your send in information of anyone you know who has changed his,—or her—location.

Will Petition University Council for Leave to Go to Kansas City
FOR WOMEN'S DORMITORY FUND
Don McKay, Manager, Will Appear Before Council and Explain Proposed Plan - Practices Nightly
There is a possibility that the Red Domino play "Object—Matrimony" will be produced in Kansas City and probably in Leavenworth and TopelaKyoga, a musical taping of the musical comedy in the Bowcock Theater on April 9 and 10.
According to Don McKay, manager of the play, he has been requested by the members of the Women's Dormitory committee, to take the matter up with the University Council and gain their consent for an out of town production, the proceeds to go towards the Dormitory fund.
It has been several years since University dramatic societies have been allowed to leave their native health and show their histrionic ability in neighboring cities. The only reason for believing that some leniency will be shown the *D* Richmonds by the *R* Dorothy, and that the university is entirely to add a few dollars to the fund which the seekers after a dormitory are striving to collect.
The University Council meets Monday and at that time Mr. McKay will appear before it and explain the proposed plans.
Practices for the play are being held every evening in the opera house, and according to all reports "Object-Matrimony" is going to be a musical comedy that will send every one away whistling the tunes.

Mr. Bechtold spent Saturday in Kansas City arranging for the scenery and costumes.
"Der Bibliothekar," the play to be presented by the German Dramatic Club at the Bowersock theater, Thursday, March 28, is in charge of actor-manager E. C. Bechtold, a sophomore in the College.
"The costumes for 'Der Bibliothker,'" said Mr. Bechtold, "are under the personal supervision of Theodore Lieben, the costumer. Mr. Lieben played the title-role twenty years ago in Germany. His wife took the part of the 'Wirtin' or landlady. Later they played in German theaters in the Eastern cities of the United States."
Elaborate scenery is required in the play. The first act shows a room in the house of Lothair, a young bachelor. The room is in dark green, comfortably furnished in heavy Mission chairs, tables and couches.
During the rest of the play, the scene is changed to the home of Marsland, a country gentleman. The scenery for the second act, a park in a small house, has been made especially for the play by the Kansas City Scenic House.
Marsland's house is seen at the left, surrounded by trees. A stone wall at the back is covered with trailing vines. Beyond is a deep woods. Rustic chairs and tables are arredated on the lawn in front of the house.
A white and gold drawing-room in Marsland's house is shown for the third and fourth acts. Here wicker furniture will be used. A French dressing chair, a potted plant, practicable stairway at the side provide effective entrances and exits.

HOLD TIGHT! EARTH
CUTS CORNER TODAY
Look out! Hold on tight today or you'll slip off the earth.
This is the day when the old chap swings round the curve and starts on his return trip around the sun. He has made the trip so many times that he is getting careless about cutting corners. He goes to one side, over you go. So look out.
Today the sun passes through the equinox, and makes a friendly call on the equator. Perhaps after he gets his social duties off his hands, he will come back to Kansas and tend strictly to business.
