Campus mail service patrons, who for 22 years have greeted Roy Davenport twice daily, will meet instead beginning tomorrow, Mrs. Cora Kirby, who will assume the Mt. Oread mail carrying duties. Davenport will go to work Monday at the Sunflower Ordnance Works.

Mrs. Kirby was formerly C. G. Bayles, superintendent day issued a statement, requesting cooperation of all staff members using the campus mail service. In order that there may be no undue delay in delivery, Bayles urges all staff members to address campus mail complete with department, building, and room number to aid the new carrier.
Byles further suggests that no large packages be placed in the campus mail collecting centers, and also that no government mail or newspapers be placed in the campus mail baskets.
"We are caught in the swirl of manpower shortage," Bayles said, "But with the cooperation of all staff members. I am sure we can continue to give good mail service to buildings and offices on the Hill.
Marine Corps Reserve, Attention
Dr. Laurence C. Woodruff, registrar and coordinator of military information for students on the campus, has issued a call for all students enlisted in the marine corps reserve to report as early as possible to his office to supply supplementary information requested by the government.
the transportation from the more extensive coal fields be curtailed.
The State Geological Survey of Kansas has recently investigated the coal reserves of east-central Kansas and is preparing a report soon to be published and made available for distribution. Additional information on other coal deposits in eastern Kansas is being gathered and made the basis for additional reports to be issued later.
Coal Reserves in Kansas Useful in Fuel Shortage
It seems evident that parts of Kansas and other States soon may face a fuel shortage. Unusual demands from war industries, rationing of fuel oil, and diversion of transportation facilities are factors tending to bring about such a state of affairs. For a number of months the Kansas Geological Survey has been aware of this possibility, and a program including the investigation of seemingly unimportant coal deposits and of their mining facilities in the state has been initiated.
In east-central Kansas is a group of rocks known as the Douglas group. This group contains coal beds and is present in Leavenworth, Douglas, Franklin, Anderson, and Coffey counties. The coal is of bittuminous grade and of fair quality. It occurs in several beds some of which attain a thickness of 20 inches. Normally the coal is regarded of little or no economic importance. However, with an impending fuel
shortage, the Douglas group coal of which there is a rather large reserve and which can be mined easily, may become of considerable importance and value. This appears apparent when it is realized that the Kansas City-Leavenworth industrial district is adjacent to the coal-bearing area. Topeka is just west and Lawrence and Ottawa lie within the area. The Sunflower Ordnance Works is being built at the eastern margin of the area. Hence the utilization of the easily attained coal for domestic consumption is probable, especially should
