ANALYSTS ASKED TO DO ODD JOBS GRATIS
People Over the State Send in Divers and Various Stuffs
THEY WANT EXPERT WORK FREE
But The Department Cannot Neglect The Duties Which it Was Founded
to do.
The life of the water analyst is not always an easy one. In the past nine or ten months, the water analysis department has received many samples of substances, entirely out of the scope of the department. These various substances were accompanied by requests that they be carefully analyzed.
One woman sent a piece of cloth, pink silk, with a bottle of shoe blacking. She had spilled some of the blackening on her pink silk dress and wanted to know how to remove the stain. Not long after this case a man mailed two small vials of linedseal oil to the department. He wanted to find out whether the oil was raw or boiled. A few days before, several of his hogs had died and if he could prove the oil to be boiled, he would bring suit against a certain man, whom he had accused of feeding the oil to his hogs.
All things are not so serious, however. The odd samples are numerous. Fish bait, disinfectants, samples of volcanic ash, twenty-five of them from different states, and shales, from Tennessee, Texas, and Kansas have been received in quantities.
Then come the sands, black, glass and salt. Following there are the rocks, lime-stone, gypsite, etc. The department was expected to give a complete analysis of each of the samples and to do it free of charge.
Another person sent a sample of oil with the request that a means of dissolving the oil from engine cylinders be found and mail the same to him. Boiler compounds, twelve of them, were shipped to the department where the company wanted to find the composition in order that they might make their own.
So it goes through the whole year, and 99% of the people sending the samples want the analysis to be done free of charge. If the department dropped these odd articles in for analysis, the state would suffer greatly.

MEN OF FRESHMEN CLASS RUN NORMAL
Physical Examinations Show Lack of Football Material in 1915 Class
If the University of Kansas should depend on the present freshman class for football material, a shortage would be found in this line of sport. Accorded with that, there are only thirty men who could be termed as of football build.
The prevailing type this year is the tall, fairly well developed man who delights the eye of the track or basketball coach, but who is a trifle light for football. If build counts for anything, there is certainly an inexhaustible supply of track and basket-ball men from this class.
The chests this year were larger and better developed but were less flexible. The general average of the men also showed smaller waists than usual.
Over 300 men were examined from the freshman class and it was found that the average height was 5 feet, 8.4 inches, about .2 inches above the normal. As to weight, it was found that the men only averaged about 135 pounds. This is a trifle below the normal. However, fewer extremes were found this year, that is, fewer men who are underdeveloped or over developed.
As an explanation for this difference in build from that of the freshmann of preceding years, the explanation is offered that it is due to the different lines of athletic activities which are now staged by the various high schools of the state. At present very few of the high schools are represented on the gridiron and are confining themselves to track and basket ball. This accounts for the increased supply in those lines of athletics and also the shortage of foot ball material. If the high schools over the state continue to put the ban on this line of sport, it looks like a continuance in the shortage of men to represent the school in foot ball.

Margaret Illington has gone to the tenements for an emotional role that is magnificently suited to her. She plays the wife of a stewardess in Charles Kenyon's drama, "Kindling," who sees motherhood ahead of her and little to provide for the baby. When she gets married, she be clothed, and then steals more that she and her husband may get away from the tenement life before the baby comes. It is in the scenes of the exposure and the husband's misunderstanding that the acting values of the play are splendidly brought out. Miss Illington will be the attraction at the Bowersock
