CITIES ARE URGED TO ENTER STATE LEAGUE
Kansas Municipalities Contain Article by Attorney General Hopkins
"Every city in Kansas should be an active member of the League of Kansas Municipalities," says Attorney General Richard J. Hopkinson in an article published in the July number of "Kansas Municipalities," which is just off the journalism press. Three outstanding reasons why he should join the League, to Mr. Hopkinson, are information to be procured, advantages received through the annual convention, and the service rendered by the magazine.
The July magazine contains a copy of an address which was given by the late Samuel T. Howe, former chairman of the State Tax Commission, at the thirteenth annual convention of the League, on assessment of public utilities. It is the policy of the State Tax Commission to assess public utilities at their commercial value but not on a higher basis than any other property.
Among other articles in this month's magazine is a discussion of the subject of zoning and its advantages, by a committee of the department of commerce, Washington, D. C; and one by Prof. C. M. Fassett of the University of Kansas on the topic of a Home Faset says that the first requisite of a home city is that it is to be a place where people like to live.
A copy of the Oakley city budget, legal opinions affecting cities, an important gas decision, costs of improvements, and Kansas bond and improvement notes are noticeable among the remaining articles, which complete the review of municipal progress and problems.
MAKES TESTS AMONG INDIANS
Professor Deibert Gets Data on Poison Ivy
Experiments to test the percentage of immunity to poison ivy among full-blood Indians at Haskell Institute have just been completed by Prof. Olivia Cornell, who has also along with the Indians in Oklahoma and Texas.
Professor Diebert is making these tests for the purpose of comparing the percentage of immunity to poison ivy among full-blood Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Asiatic Indians, and Egyptians. The tests are made by immoculating the subject with a small portion of the serum from his blood for a period of about four weeks. The injection is made in the arm.
Professor Diebert is a nephew of Dean Templin of the University faculty. He is working under Doctor Coca of Cornell, and was a guest of the bacteriology department during his visit in Lawrenze.
Professor Debert has not yet compiled his data, and the results of his investigation are therefore not available; but his experimentation is well progressed. Eight hundred and fifty Indians have been examined so far.

NATIONAL GUARD TO PARSONS
University Men of Co. M. Called For Strike Duty
For the second time in approximately six months, Co. M of the 137th Inf., has been called out for strike duty. Company M is a local machine gun unit and in company with three troops of cavalry was sent to Parramatta.
A few students belong to the machine gun company, and they left with the unit when it entrained Sunday. Special precautions were taken while the train was on the track, but not uncommon when troops are called out for strike duty.
Demonstrations of violence are shown by the striking shopmen against the non-union workmen at Parsons, and Governor Allen, fearing danger to life and property, ordered the troops out.

NAISMITH ON ODD VACATION
Instructor Builds Fences and Gains Stiff Muscles
A highway construction camp is not commonly considered an ideal place for a summer outing, yet Dr. James Naismith of the department of physical education has sought rest and relaxation by enlisting with a gang of laborers at Chapman, Kansas. In company with his son Jack and three other boys the inventor of basketball started on his vacation June 25. They embarked "stripped" Ford of mature years and steered in a southwesterly direction, arriving at their destination the same
In a letter home Doctor Naismith says, "You need not waste any sympathy on me or laugh at me. My face is so sunburned that when I eat my skin creaks like a saddle, and when I stoop the muscles in the back of my neck split as they stretch. But aside from a few things like that I am feeling as fit as can be. I have taken in two inches in my belt and have lost a few pounds in weight, even though I am eating my full dollar's worth every day. We have plenty of good food—meat, potatoes, bread, cake, and coffee, tea or lemonade.
"Jack and I are putting the rails on a fence out on the edge of a cliff that winds around just outside of Chapman on the way to Ablene."
No appeals will be made for subscriptions to the Million Dollar Memorial, but everyone will be given an opportunity to take part in the greatest movement K. U. has ever undertaken
