Health Board Widens Scope
Expansion of activities of the state Board of Health to include work in industrial hygiene, was announced today by Earnest Boyce, professor of sanitary engineering at the University, and engineer for the state board. Sanitary engineering, which for long had concerned itself only with water supplies and disposal of wastes, now has been broadened to include purity of the air, and even the question of suitable lighting.
Air's Purity Is Latest Phase Studied in Work Conducted at University
The work will be handled by Charles C. Dills, who came to the University from Hillsboro, and received his B.S. in civil engineering in 1931. He has spent the past year at Harvard taking special courses in industrial sanitation.
It will include study of all industrial conditions likely to cause injury to the headh of workmen. This
been most noticeable of late in the study of silicosis, which is induced by the breathing of fine sand dust, but includes also all toxic fumes or dust, carbon monoxide, and the like. Industry is concerning itself with modern processes, many of which involve use of materials that may prove harmful unless used in prescribed methods. It is likewise valuable to know that certain conditions may be uncomfortable, but not harmful.
Mr. Dills assumed his duties a short time ago.
Another change in the water and sewage laboratory of the board of health is the appointment of Paul Haney, Lawrence, as chemist, to succeed Miss Gladys Swope, who resigned last June. Mr. Haney received his B.S. in chemical engineering in 1933, and this year completed work for his master's degree in sanitary engineering at Harvard.
Kansas City, July 26—Teachers and students ordinarily ineligible for the old age benefits provisions of the Social Security act may find themselves eligible this summer if they accept temporary vacation jobs, Ed McDonald, director of region IX, announced recently.
Teachers May Get Security Benefits
Announcement of several important civil service examinations to be conducted sometime within the near future was made today by the local United States postoffice, where details concerning any particular test may be obtained.
Under the provisions of the old-age benefits title of the Act, Mr. McDonald said, every day a person works in an included occupation counts on his wage record on which the benefit to be paid when he is 65 is based, and it will be necessary, of course, for a person when he enters an included employment to obtain an account number.
If a person engages in temporary employment in included occupations after December 31, 1936 long enough to be qualified by the time he reaches 65 he will be eligible for a monthly benefit as a right for the rest of his life. The law requires that he work at least one day in each of five years before he is 65 after December 31, 1936, and that his total wages for the time he worked in an included occupation shall be $2,000 or more.
Postoffice Announces Civil Service Examinations
Positions to be filled include that of senior and unclassified educational analyst; warden and associate warden in the bureau of prisons; principal safety promotion adviser; and field representative for the treasury department.
Salaries for these positions range from $3,500 to $6,500 per year.
Dr. A. A. Harding, Urbana, Ill., who has been here during the past week as guest band conductor, left for Urbana this morning.

ROMANCE AND REALITY
Sometimes, when you turn the pages of a book your mind is seeking romance. You long to leave a too-familiar world ...to travel with the speed of thought to far-off purple lands . . . to bathe in tepid, lotus-scented surf.
But your daily paper finds you in a more practical mood. Interested in real people, in the facts of the day. Looking for news of things that you may buy and enjoy—here and now.
You may find in the advertisement just what you want in the way of a better breakfast food, or a new radio, or an improved face powder. If the thing fits into your living, is practical and possible and promising-you are vitally interested.Because you are reading about yourself!
Today, a great many things that were romantic dreams only ten years ago are common realities. Life has more color, more charm, more adventure And the things that give it all these may be found in the advertising columns.
Advertising discusses realities — romantic ones often enough — but actual articles you can have for your own, new joys for your family, stepping stones to your happiness.
The advertisements in the Kansan are written for you. They are real. They are reliable.Take their advice.
