Fourteen Kansas Graduates Listed as 'Distinguished'
Cady Among Those Who Have Given University High Comparative Ranking
WOMEN ARE INCLUDED
fourteen scientists, graduates of the University of Kuzna, are starved men in the field of Science, which was the subject of a study by Dr. Bessel in the Journals of Higher Education.
The men graduated with classes ranging from 1883 to 1914 and listed as the first class of graduates distinguished by the votes of their colleagues. Among them is H. P. Cady, a graduate of the University.
In the 1921 edition of American Men of Science, the University of Kansas was represented by seven graduates. In the 1927 edition there were again seven scientists listed, whereas most of the former declined in the number represented.
The release of this information follows the recent finding that the University of Kansas ranks second only to John Hopkins University in the number of its graduates, in proportion to its alumni, who have been scarred scientists.
The study shows that this ranking is unusual since John Hippkins and most other researchers in the study are private institutions with high endowment and huge teach-

Department of Zoology to Use Miniature Lights
Whole Bulbs Smaller Than Average Grains of Kansas Wheat
The bulbs are made by the National Lamp works, Cleveland, Ohio. Doctor Aaron Rangel ranged for the tiny bulbs while he attended the Christmas meeting of the scientific societies. The whole bulb was grown from a larger bulb smaller than a grain of Kansas wheat, but when placed immediately below the lamp it evokes the luminous lense it evokes sufficient illumination.
The department of zoology has just received a shipment of four "wheat grain" electric light bulbs. These miniature bulbs will be used by Doctor Bemgartre and the advanced students in a study of germ cells in living insects.
The bulbs are the smallest light bulbs ever made, being only one-half candle size. The bulb can be used under the living tissue on the micro-cope stand and the living tissue with a light bulb.
It is expected to develop a modi-
fied method for embryonic derm-
ginal cells developed and laminated in the "Journal of Experimental Zoology and Science by W. J. Bumma-
ter."

Woodring Urges Equal Assessment in Message
Governor Outlines Plan for Improving Taxation Methods
He called attention to the fact that 90 per cent of the direct tax burden is borne by real and tangible property in homes of the wealthy and other forms of wealth. Governor Woodding said that hardships of the property owners are increased by unequal assent and an increase in the number. After reviewing the situation the Governor submitted to the legislature his program for relief. Major points in his recommendation for immediate change were:
Topkaka, Feb. 16—(UP)—Governor Harry Wooding today delivered to the legislature a special message on the importance of developing a specific plan for its improvement "The problem of taxation supercedes all others in the minds of the people," Governor Wooding told a joint session "The people are demanding reaction which they are burdened acquitting something alien to confession."
First, more efficient assessment methods and more competent assessments; second, re-enforcement of intangible tax laws which were repeated in 1923 (e.g., tax exemptions for tax on banks; fourth, increase in fees charged by state boards, commissions and departments so that general property will not be taxed to support the private sector; fifth, transportation law providing for annual tax payable in full at time of registration.
The most important part of the message, however, was relative to changes of a fundamental nature which would moreover increase the tax burden and to limit expenditures until new resources could be provided.
