UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
FINE ARTS CLASS IN A PICTURE GALLERY
Prof. Griffith's Students in Painting Have Examples Always Before Them.
WORK OF CHICAGO INSTITUTE
Over One Hundred Pictures From Largest Western Art School on Exhibition
How would you like to be entertained by a picture show while you work? That is the way the Fine Arts students are treated. The young painters can glance up from their work at any time, and see the pictures, painted in the Chicago Art Institute, hanging around them.
Prof, W. A. Griffith has secured a large exhibit of these canvases, and has hung them in the rooms where the students work, in the Administration
In room 304, where the life class works,
Professor Griffith has hung the paintings by the Chigcao life classes. The favorite in this room is a study of a girl in blue, by Linder. On the west wall hangs a portrait of a young man, by Leon A. Makielski, which deserves more than a passing glance. An especially striking charcoal drawing of a girl with a basket of flowers is just opposite the door on the south wall.
WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS SHOWN.
The compositions for mural decoration and magazine illustrations, in room 301, represent everything from spring marigolds down to prosaic laborers, trucking crates and barrels. As the artist had given him permission, he gave, the visitor can allow his imagination room ad libitum, in guessing what they all mean.
In room 310, there are three large panel designs in oil. The one on the north wall, in blue and warm gray has delicate harmony in color and design. It is the favorite of the design classes. There are also applied designs for lace, jewelry, and advertisements.
The still life studies in the north end of the hall are painted in water color and oil. There are flower studies which remind you of a florist's shop and fruit studies which "make your mouth water."
There are over a hundred pictures in the exhibit.
Among the architectural drawings in the south hall there are some magnificent buildings. Three by R. Friedman are especially good.

TEST HEART ACTION OF BUBBLE WAGONS
Engineers Doing Thesis Work That Will Help in Buying
Don't buy your automobile until May. By that time the thesis from the department of Mechanical Engineering will be completed, and you will be able to judge much more accurately about certain important parts of your car.
As every one who is at all familiar with the principles of machine construction knows, the great issue of modern automobile building is concerned with the problem of wear and friction, of bearings and transmission, and of how to impart the greatest possible amount of the power produced at the motor to the driving wheels.
Your Auto
Just received a shipment of Douglas chocolates. Soxman & Co-Adv.
The value of the universal joint is one of the important questions now before the automobile public. A thesis is being prepared by Lawrence Browne and C. G. Martinson on the efficiency of universal joints for automobile transmission. "This is practically an unexplored field," said Prof. P. F. Walker, of the School of Mechanical Engineering. "There is no information available on the subject, and the importance of this efficiency test will be great."
Murray C. Conley is preparing the second thesis alone. He is making a time study of machining operations for the Witte Iron Works Co., of Kansas City.
R. H. Forney and Volney H. Hillford are making a test of one of the six 1100 horsepower gas engines in Seipia, Kansas, used by the Kansas Natural Gas Co., for pumping gas "This engine test follows an investigation started last fall, in connection with the Kansas City Public Utilities Commission," said Professor Walker. "There are several pumping stations equipped with similar engines and the test now being made by Forney and Hilford should make an interesting report."
Professor Walker himself is preparing a paper to be given in May to the Natural Gas Association of America, and expects to derive much valuable information from this test

MORE ABOUT
GROUND ALMONDS
Resembles Peanut Underneath and Bunch of Hay on
Top.
Probably very few people understand that the Ground Almond which was recently received by Dean L. E. Savre is a subterranean plant.
This plant is very similar to the tuber in growth, as the food portion grows beneath the soil. The nut is about the size of a peanut, shrieved, wrinkled, and flat, and has an orange color. The upper portion, which is above the ground, resembles a bunch of very thick grass. The plant will grow well and are an ornamental and from one seed, two or three hundred nuts will be produced.
The samples were sent in to Dean Sayre by A. L. Fike, a food and drugs inspector of Fort Scott, Kansas. Dean Sayre has sent for more information concerning the plant.
