The first full day of service brought 104 patients to the dispensary of the new Watkins Memorial hospital for care. The staff arrived at the hospital office. No cases of serious nature were taken in yesterday although there is still one patient staying in the hospital.
Dr. R. I. Canutone and his staff of nurses were in high spirits at the opening of the second day and expressed excitement over the going. The physical equipment and other general features are quite pleasing and there remains only one threat which may mat the perfect outward appearance for nurses to serve for those who seek attention there.
Many students have been in the hall before classes, and most of the old building on Tennessee, partly owing to, perhaps, the congestion which slowed things a bit there. This is no different from what happens at the entire staff, Doctor Canutson said, that the students will make all routine calls within the regular hours, with just about 2 to 5 p.m. Such matters as excuses and minor calls must be attended by the doctors and they are regularly called.
The hospital may now be reached by two phones. The city number is 890 and the K. U. number is 180.

Ready to Distribute Wheat
But Red Cross Chairman Would Not Comment on Plan
Washington, Jan. 5. —(UP) John Barton Park, national chair of the Red Cross, informed the house agriculture committee today his organization was prepared to undertake disaster relief and board wheat to families in distress.
Payne appearing at hearings on the Jones bill to authorize distribution of 20,000,000 bushels of government wheat, said he was willing the wisdom of such a plan but he said the Red Cross was perfectly willing to accept the responsibility of handing over it.
The Jones bill is somewhat similar to the Capper wheat distribution which passed the senate yesterday. The latter measure provides however for double the amount of wheat of the Jones bill. Payne suggested a provision to allow the grain to be distributed whereby arrangements for free milling of the grain could be obtained.
He said that he believed mulling companies would be willing to perform this conversion because they were permitted to return the hy-product. The Red Cross chairman estimated conversion of 40,000 bushels of wheat into flour would cost $5,000-$6,000.
"No agency, and the Red Cross is not accepted, could undertake the job of distribution if forced to pay for milling," Judge Payne said.

Aluminum Violin Expected to Outlive Stradivarius
Iola, Jun. 5—(UP)—In the humble tin shop of Walter Arndt of Iola has been produced a violin which may outlive a Stradivarius.
Possessed of a clear, sweet tone, the violin is made of aluminium, which has an advantage over wood in that it is easier to play and can be glued. Arnt, working with a claw hammer, a hand drill, and a pair of pliers, shaped the parts of the violin, joined them with 70 invisible rivets, and finished the whole task in 90 working hours.
Experts who have played the finished instrument have placed their stamp of approval upon it. The tone is slightly brighter, but the aluminum instrument poses greater carrying power, and, in many cases, instrumental instruments, harmonizes equally as well
