Kansas Can Profit From Example At Pennsylvania
Mineral Industry Building There Ten Years Ago
The work being done in mineral research at Pennsylvania State College was described with the suggestion that "Kansas may well profit by the example of Pennsylvania" in a letter received recently by Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the University of Kansas Alumni Association, from Dr. D. F. McFarland, a graduate and a former member of the faculty of the chemistry department here and now head of the metallurgy department at Penn State. A Mineral Industries Building in which to carry on research on the mineral resources of that state was built at Pennsylvania State College in 1930.
Doctor McFarland mentions that Pennsylvania "for more than 200 years has been profiting, by the exploitation of its mineral wealth. In the latter years it has been increasingly evident that the reckless and wasteful methods employed in the mining and utilization of minerals was leading to inevitable and permanent exhaustion of these natural resources. It was clear that only by means of carefully planned conservation and by extensive research could the remaining mineral supplies be made to yield a living to the million and a quarter people in Pennsylvania who are directly dependent on these resources for their livelihood."
He goes on to say that now "research is being conducted in all the fields of mineral science and technology, most of it in close cooperation with the mineral industries of the state, and with the hearty support of the leaders in these industries. The greater part of this research is directed toward conservation and more economical utilization of the state's remaining mineral resources, and to the finding of new and better uses for these products."
Doctor McFarland, while at the University, made many chemical analyses of ores and minerals for the Kansas Geological Survey which at that time was under the direction of Professor Haworth. It was he who made the first analysis of the natural gas from Dexter, Kans., showing the presence in it of an inert gas and leading, after further investigation to the identification of that inert gas as helium by Doctor Cady.
FACE THE FACTS---see that the students need cheering, for most of them are cheerful and optimistic enough, since they don't have time to read the newspapers; and they don't even seem to want cheer very badly. At any rate a lot of them come to me asking me to make speeches on the "Coming Dark Ages." You'd be surprised, Mr. Cunningham, to see how popular that speech is. Children cry for it. I believe the students think it's

Bing Crosby's latest comedy with music at the Jayhawker Thursday for 3 days.
Bing Crosby gets a few pointers on the art of trumpeting from Winyang Mannone, hottest brass blower in New York's Swing Lane. Bing brought Winyang to Hollywood for a part in his new picture. "Rhythm on the River," which starts Thursday at the Jayhawker for 3 days. "Rhythm on the River" is ninety-nine and forty-four one hundredths per cent comedy and music, and introduces seven new songs in the Crosby manner. Mary Martin, Basil Rathbone play co-starring roles in the film.
funny, but I don't think it is as funny as it used to be.
"But seriously, Mr. Cunningham seems to think optimism is a cosmetic, that you put on with a chamois skin, or a sales poise, that you put on to please the customer. It should be neither. And optimism isn't particularly "Christian" either. Just how does any Christian, or even a pagan with any bowels of compassion manage to be cheerful while millions are starving, and other millions are suffering every conceivable indignity at the hands of Fascist oppressors? Some people certainly bear up cheerfully under other people's misfortunes, but it wouldn't occur to me to call them Christians
"What the people need is no cheer, but a willingness to face the seriousness of our present situation As they come to an appreciation o the dangers ahead, I may cheer up handsomely."
