Suggest Miners Grow Mustaches To Keep Health
Victoria, B.C., April 3—(UP)—The British Columbia department of mines suggested to miners today that if they would avoid silicosis they should grow mustaches.
"Nature placed a mustache on the face of man for a purpose," the department said. "It seems to have been intended as a filter."
Silicosis, the department explained, is caused by inhaling particles of crushed rock which lodge in the lungs. The bigger the mustache, the less likely silicosis will develop.
To Take 'Holiday To Wichita U.
The 11 cast members of "Holiday," their director and a couple of stage hands are contemplating a trip to Wichita tomorrow by automobile, practically a new stage in which to present their play, and a night's rest afterwards in the Broadway hotel.
Wichita University will have a chance to watch "Holiday" in action before the play is presented in Fraser theater when they are given a one-nighter tomorrow.
Tickets for the four-night production which opens here Monday went on sale this morning at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall. Students must exchange activity book stubs for reserved seats either by going to the office or phoning in, advised the ticket manager.
Sound Truck Aids All to Hear Stars
When it came to hearing every word spoken by the stars and guests here today for the premiere of "The Dark Command," the people holding ringside seats had no advantage over those who were pushed to the outskirts of the crowd. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce had the Poehler sound truck on the job to cover all outdoor events.
This sound system is the most complete and powerful in the middlewest according to electrical and radio experts, and on several occasions people two miles from the sound system have been able to hear plainly an entire program.
This modern public address system has been used throughout the state for special community events, sports and agricultural demonstrations without charge to the community. This same sound track carried the national cornhusking contest here last fall.
Federal Geologist Talks on Survey
At a meeting of the Kansas Geological Survey staff at the University Tuesday, Captain C. L. Sadder, section chief for the Topographic Branch of the Federal Geological Survey, reported that topographic mapping of 1,783 square miles has been completed in Kansas.
This cooperative project was established by the Kansas Geological Survey, the Federal Geological Survey, and the W.P.A. three years ago. In the same time, leveling for the purpose of establishing elevations have been completed over an area of 3,185 square miles.
Topographic maps are valuable in planning all types of work where the shape of the land surface is taken into consideration. They show the configuration of the land surface, its elevation above sea level, and the locations of towns, roads, township and county boundaries, and rivers. Geologists use them in mapping rock structures.
Under the cooperative set-up, maps have been completed of areas covering the northern two-thirds of Wilson county, the southeast corner of Greenwood county, the northeast corner of Elk county, and the northeast corner of Sedgwick county.
