Federal Commission Receives Application for Power Project
Building of Five Miles of Dan in Bay of Fundy Included in Proposal
(By Science Service)
Washington, Jan. 22 — Application for permission to harness a small part of the mighty tides of the Bay of Fundy, between Nova Scotia and the mainland, has been made to the Federal Power Commission, disclosing one of the most ambitious water power projects ever conceived. The scheme involves the damming of Passamacquodby Bay between Maine and back by five miles of dams between the mainland and intervening islands.
The great difficulties to the project are engineering and those due to the interruption of navigation. A maximum depth of 200 feet of water will be encountered on the dam site. Vessels bound to or from Eastport, Luben or Calais, or St. Andrews, would require more construction through the dam, and it would be difficult to construct locks which might be used in rough weather, thus greatly impaiming the value of these ports as harbors of refuge in storms.
Passaquoddy Bay opens into the Bay of Fundy where the tidal range averages 35 feet. It is proposed to install a system of gates that will allow water from the river to 27 to 16 feet at all times, developing from 400,000 to 500,000 horsepower.
The applicant for permit is Dexter P. Cooper of New York, who asks for three years in which to make preliminary surveys.
Freshmen Have to Climb Ropes and Test Muscles
Gym Classes Take Finals
The final examinations in the men's gymnasium classes are being conducted this week under the direction of James Frazee. This will close the work for this semester, and will be conducted by a strenuous examination. They have more of the real physical exercise in their examination. The first thing they must do is to climb a rope suspended from the ceiling of the gymnasium and touch the ceiling with their instructor holds a time watch on them.
Then the freshmen must see how many times they can chin themselves on a bar. Two work out at a time, and this is simple for almost every one, although the number of times they can chin themselves varies.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
With the examinations over the minds of the gymnasium students turn to the making up of cuts. There has been a great rush this week of repentant ones who are anxious about their cuts. It takes close figuring to get in all the time to make up the cuts of some.

Electrical Line Will Run From Hill to Dormitory
The ditch being dug behind Pyche museum is for the purpose of carrying an electrical line to Corbin hall. The line, beginning at the southeast corner of the museum, will extend along the museum grounds to the northwest corner, from thence to the stadium field and then to the two works of the museum's two works' work to finish the job, according to John Shea, superintendent of the University grounds. The dormitory has been using city lights.
The ditch is a shallow one, as no great depth is required to insure it. The ditch is made of wire, which is of a lead steel composition, resisting rust, and very strong.
Truck Farmer Finds Vegetable Gardening Profitable Business
Article by University Student Published in Agricultural Publication
Not all farmers in Kansas are as successful in extracting "ready money" from the soil as is Riley Rogers, a negro truck farmer in Lawrence, who sold $6,000 worth of his twelve-acre farm last year.
Frank M. Chase, a student in the University, is the author of an interview published in the February issue of Farm and Fireside which gives Mr. Rogers' own account of his work in developing the truck farm, that has been not only the means of supplying farmers with provided for an education for his four sons and two daughters at the University.
Mr. Rogers lives at 623 North Third street, where his truck farm is also located. He has lived in Lawrence for twenty-five years and that time worked hard in an art business himself in the gardening business.
One of Mr. Rogers' sons, Sidney Rogers, was graduated from the College of Pharmacy in 1910, and one of his daughters, Amie Rogers, received an A. B. degree in 1919. The other daughter, Lucille Rogers, is now attending the University, and is enrolled in the junior class.

LOST IN THE WOODS
These modern shoppers read the Kansan advertisements carefully and regularly. They find that the advertisements save them steps, bother, trouble and time.
That is just the way some folks shop. They hit the buying trail, stray from it a bit, and before they are aware of the fact, they are lost—wandering in a maze of counters —gradually growing weaker and wearier—and finally get back home mentally and physically tuckered out without having accomplished much.
Experienced woodmen say that when a man gets lost in the forest he usually travels round and round in a circle.
Up-to-date shoppers make up their minds what they are going to buy before they leave the house. They know exactly what they want, how much they want to pay, and just where they will find the right goods at the right prices. To them shopping is a pleasure.
