June Makes Heat Record
Month Is Warmest Since 1920 According to Meteorological Survey
June, 1931, was the warmest June since 1920 and the fifth warmest in the past 64 years, the Monthly Meteorological Summary, published at the University, shows.
There were 12 hot days exceeding the usual number of such days by 5. The first 12 days of the month were below normal, but the last 12 days more than made up for that deficiency, the month ending with a mean temperature of 77.52 degrees or 4.27 degrees above the normal mean for June.
The highest temperature, 98 degrees, occurred on June 25, 27, 29, and 30, while the maximum usually occurs on only one day. The minimum temperature, 54 degress, was reached on the morning of June 1.
Rainfall for June was 1.73 inches which is 3.11 inches below normal, making the month the fourth driest in the past 64 years. Rain fell in measurable amounts on only four days, the normal number of such days being 10. The heaviest fall was recorded on June 10 and 11. There has been no measurable rainfall since that date.
Eighteen days of June were clear, three partly cloudy, and nine were cloudy. The past 15 days were clear.
Lewistown, Ill., (S.S.)—A party of sixteen University of Chicago students under the supervision of Dr. Fay-Cooper Cole has begun excavation at Indian mounds near here, in the hope of discovering information about the oldest known inhabitants of the region.
STUDENTS EXCAVATE SANDS FOR INDIAN CULTURE RELICS
These ancient inhabitants have been named the "black sand" people. The name was given them because nine skeletons were found buried in black glacial sand beneath Indian mounds last summer. This year the expedition hopes to recover implements and ornaments which will shed light on the home life and customs of the ancient tribe. The black sand Indians are estimated to have lived at least 2,000 years ago. Dr. Cole stated that Fulton County, where the excavations are being made, contains "the most complete data for culture sequence yet found in the Mississippi valley".
For the first time this summer, the courses in the School of Business are arranged primarily from the standpoint of Graduates, according to the statement of Dean F. T. Stockton, School of Business. That policy will prevail hereafter, he said and next year there will be no instructors without the rank of assistant professor at least.
BUSINESS COURSES PLANNED
ESPECIALY FOR GRADUATES
He said that at commencement time this year 55 per cent of the class was placed. That is not nearly comparable to the usual placements, but it compares favorable with those secured by other schools.
Aged Methodist Church Has Two Unique Records
Glasgow, Mo.—(U.P.) —The Glasgow Methodist church, which celebrated its eightieth anniversary recently, has set two unique records in the past four decades.
For 80 years the same brick building has been used as a meeting place for the congregation. Although bearing bullet holes as a result of the Civil War battle during which it served as a hospital, the building, with some interior decorating, still adequately serves the congregation.
Graduate Returns From Illinois
Moreover, in the past 59 years only two men have served as superintendent of the Sunday School. John F. Lewis held the office for 40 years, and the present superintendent, Edward A. Dougherty, has served for 19 years.
Graduate Returns From Illinois Esther Watson, B.S. in education,'31 Kansas City, Mo., visited the campus Thursday. She has just returned from Rockford, Ill., where she was the guest of Miss Frances Corssan.
Jayhawks Flown
Dr. Ralph K. Collins, A.B. '19, and Mrs. Collins, fa 15 of Sofia, Bulgaria, expect to be in the United States on three months leave the first of October. They will visit Mrs. Collins' mother, Mrs. W. S. Arnett, 1126 Tennessee street. Dr. Collins took medical work at John Hopkins University and 18 months work at Yale. At present he is doing public health work in Bulgaria and Turkey on the staff of the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation.
Judge R. J. Hopkins, United States District Judge at Wichita, has been transferred to New York City where he will serve a five-week term as substitute judge in the United States Courts. Judge Hopkins was a student at the University in 1897. He has taken an active interest in alumni activities and is now president of the Kansas University Club in Wichita.
Robert Borth, b'31, of the School of Business has reported to the head offices of the General Electric Co., at Schenectady, N.Y., where he will be employed in the accounting department.
Plans Made for Workers
President of Kansas Chamber of Commerce Suggests More Employment
Kansas City, Kas.—Maurice L. Breidenthal, president of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, has forwarded to the state chamber offices at Topeka, a statement on employment that he describes as follows: "I am not intending to present a completed plan, but as a suggestion capable of adaptation in many communities, the state chamber desires to present ideas that fit the general character of depression day problems. Local chamber executives and their boards best know local conditions, but it appears to the state chamber that provision for employment this fall in place of provision for a greater charity dole would hold Kansas in better position to cope with an economic depression that must soon be either controlled by industry or charged directly to social conditions."
The Breidenthal statement is released through the official publication of the state chamber, the Monthly Minutes.
"There are probably six and a half or seven million unemployed in the United States at present. This happens to be just about 50% more men than the United States had in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps during the World War. It is not hard to figure something of the cost of the present depression in money, to say nothing about the human suffering involved.
"It is generally agreed that there is but one cure for unemployment. That cure is work. The dole system operates on some men as an opiate, lessening their suffering and tiding them over. To others it becomes a narcotic which makes them permanent charity addicts.
"There is plenty of work waiting to be done in making those things which people are demanding in excess of the supply and for which they have the money to pay."

Midnight Review Reveals Gentlemen's New Styles
What the well dressed man is wearing after midnight during a rainstorm was established at 1.30 a. m. yesterday by two summer students who unwittingly stumbled upon the revelation of this fashion hint on their return from a certain mission which necessitated their being out until the tiny hours of the morning.
As these young men, who were thus to become dictators of fashion, were approaching the shelter designed for their locomotive vehicle, near Oread, they were suddenly torn from their weary state of semi-unconsciousness by the appearance of what seemed to be an apparition in the form of a man. Had it not been that each saw and exclaimed almost simultaneously, either would have been hesitant in expressing his thought for fear of becoming subject to detention in the state institution at Osawatomie.
For a few brief moments the two men were allowed to gaze upon this newest creation from Paris. Then before they were aware, he had gone -- disappeared into the dense dripping underbrush, of Indiana avenue. He wore a pair of multicolored shorts, an English broadcloth shirt with modernistic design of tail and sleeve holders artistically set just above the elbow.
4-H CLUB WINNERS AWAIT RECONFIGURATION AT STATE MEET
Washington—Poison ivy and what to do about it was the subject of a Scienceee Service radio talk given over the network of the Columbia Broadcasting System this afternoon by Dr. James F. Couch, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Dr. Couch, said that if one must go where one is likely to come in contact with it, is best to be ready with a proved remedy. Such a remedy, he said, is a five per cent solution of potassium permanganate in water. This chemical is obtainable at any drug store, is cheap and safe.
