Geological Survey Maps Meade Artesian Basin
The geology and ground-water resources of Meade County are described in a bulletin just published by the State Geological Survey of Kansas. A feature of special interest is the discussion of the Meade artesian basin, located in the county, which contains more than 300 flowing wells. A map, included in the report, shows the area of flowing wells and the depth to water
level in other parts of the county. A well table lists 354 wells in Meade County. The report was prepared by Dr. John C. Frye of the State Geological Survey staff.
Artesian or confined water, of particular interest in Meade County, has been produced from sand and gravel beds encountered in many wells at depths of 300 feet or less. Its development was started in this area in 1886: now about 3,900 acre-feet of artesian water comes to the surface annually from wells, and an additional 3,200 acre-feet from springs.
Declined Slightly
The head of artesian water has declined only slightly in more than half a century. The investigation revealed that the amount of water that can safely be withdrawn from the artesian water-bearing beds is about 10,000 acre-feet, the amount of the annual recharge.
Unconfined ground water of good quality occurs under nearly all of Meade County. It has been found at depths below the surface ranging from one to 220 feet. Rennett Shores Residential.
Report Shows Possibilities
The report gives an analysis of irrigation possibilities in the various parts of the county.
The principal occupations of the residents of Meade County are farming and stock raising. Volcanic ash, or "silica," is the most important mineral product.
The investigation was sponsored by the State Geological Survey and the United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the Division of Sanitation of the State Board of Health and the Division of Water Resources of the State Board of Agriculture.

Chemist Demand Takes Students
Demand for chemists is so great that few stay to graduate, according to Prof. R. Q. Brewster, head of the chemistry department. In one day recently calls came for twenty women, although only four will graduate in chemistry this spring.
The number of students who enrolled in chemistry courses last fall was somewhat larger than in normal years, but enrollment has been depleted by students leaving for positions in chemical industries and for the service. The proportion of women enrolled in chemistry has increased somewhat, Professor Brewster said.
The department is still able to buy all the chemicals that it needs but only one month's supply is available at a time, and its use must be specified. Buying was formerly done yearly.
The new army and navy men, who will come this summer, will be enrolled in chemistry courses, and the problem of a shortage of instructors will have to be met then. Professor Brewster explained. The sailors on the Hill now do not take courses in chemistry.
Canuteson Attends Meeting

Critics Praise Piano Numbers By Swarthout
Washington, D. C., musical critics gave high praise to Miss Evelyn Swarthout, concert pianist and daughter of Dean and Mrs. D. M. Swarthout, for her solos with the National Symphony Orchestra in Constitution hall last Sunday.
Miss Swarthout, who graduated from the University in 1932 with a bachelor of music degree, received a favorable comment from the Washington Evening Star which stated, "To Miss Swarthout, however, went the chief success of the afternoon, and the young artist kept the audience in its seats several minutes after her final recall in the hopes of an encore. Miss Swarthout played with superb mastery and deep musical consciousness. Her tone is exceptionally mellow and pleasing, and her technique has sweep and fire, quickly responsive to intelligent direction. The volume of applause measured the enthusiasm which greeted her two performances."
Gunn Praises
Kindler Directs
Another musical critic, Ray C. B. Brown, stated, "Miss Swarthout handled the technical difficulties in the piano parts of both works with ease and assurance. Her skill, coupled with her engaging personality and her command of tonal beauty amid the rush of notes, won her a thoroughly merited ovation." Kindler Directs
Glen Dillard Gunn, music critic of the Washington Post, wrote, "Evelyn Swarthout interpreted the solo part in this brilliant number (a Diverimento by Ulric Cole) accomplishing a display of exceptional pianistic facility and musical authority."
In the concert directed by Dr. Hans Kindler, conductor of the National Symphony, Miss Swarthout, who in married life is Mrs. James P. Hayes, played the solo part of "Variations on a French Mountain Theme" (Vincent d'Indy) and "Diverimento" (Ulric Cole).
