Municipalities League Proposes Five Bills Which Become Laws
Of Seven Submitted, City Zoning and Ice Plant Prosasals are Rejected
Five of the seven bills proposed for legislation by the League of Kansas Municipalities were epaased by the Legislature on March 28 upon the statute books, according to a report by W. A. Layton, Sanilina, chairman of the legislative committee of the League of Kansas Municipalities, number of the Kansas Municipalities.
The "mob law" was passed with a change in the number constituting a mob from three to five. Under this law the cities, as a defense, have a right to show that due diligence was used against mob violence. The old law did not provide that knowledge had no defense whatever in mitigation of damages. The new law is expected to work more justly to all parties concerned.
The "soldier license" bill which is now operating as a law provides that all soldiers or sailors to whom a free license is extended for the sale of morehande in profit must live within the city or county from which he or she has been granted at least six months previous to the issuance of said license.
The "fire department and municipal band" bill which was passed, provided for the reinstatement of the former levy of 2½ mills for fire departments and 3.5 of a mill for a fire brigade. The class with less than 40,000 mills class with less than 40,000 mills.
The "city planning" bill, providing for a commission which functions in the capacity of proper planning of the city as to streets, parks, and so forth, was passed, is practically the same as Chapter 99 of the Session Laws of 1021. Among the bills reflected were the "city zoning." The bill was amended and provided for an increase of levy for parks, upkeep of streets, and hydrant rentals in cities of the second and third class.
Chemistry in 1874 Not a Snap Course
Chemistry students in 1874 must have been more eager to acquire a knowledge of that interesting subject than most of the present students in that department profession to be. With practically no equipment they could not perform their laboratory experiments and finish a finished degree from Fraser Hall.
Now the chemistry department has eleven professors and about twenty-five assistants with the detail work. Then, Professor Patrick did everything. In his report he went on to say: "The carrying on of this depart-ment is a difficult manner involves a great deal in the handling and putting together of apparatus, the cleaning and filling of bottles, and many other details. So much of my time is occupied by this work that I consider it a duty to the institution as well as myself that some provision be made."
Chemistry was included in the department of natural science then and was taught by Prof. G. E. Patrick. In a report to the regents of the University, Professor Patrick said, "The chemical lecture room should be partially equipped. It should at least have table furnished table furniture with gas and water pipes, and blackboard, none of which it has at present."
by which I may be relieved of a portion of it."

Annual K. U. Alvmn Dinner Breaksout Againin New York; Famed'Gaily Kansan' Appears
Jayhawks flew from everywhere to the Ailine Club, Fifth Avenue Building, New York City, recently, to attend the annual K. U. dinner given by the K. U. alumni of New York University, and it took on an atmosphere not at all that of New York City. It was lifted from the limits of the busy city and set down upon the banks of the Kaw. It was at this grand affair that Jayhawks learned the importance of indispensable, irrepressible, irresistible, irrational, irregular; a gag old sheet it was, telling of the soaring Jayhawks who flew that way, and announcing many who did not make the flight this year. On one page it described Jayhawks' life, K. U., with enthusi- enough-lasm to the whole of New York.
Then to mention the "Pickens Poetry Prize" offered in this edition of the Kansan. The prize poem is enclosed in a long-lounger-Long After, and runs:
Hal Thompson came whence no one knows—
"Swede Hanson pranced in new spring clothes—
Yes, Harry Kemp forgot his woes And yelled—
Rock Chalk Jay Hawk K. U.. Members of the committee or awards commented with considerable show of feeling, says the Glyk Kanan, and publishes some of the comments as follows:
Jay E. House: "I didn't suppose you a Jenahawker could produce such octry. I have never read anything ke it anywhere."
North Lawrence School Burns
The Woodlawn grade school in North Lawrence was damaged yesterday morning by fire of unknown origin, the roof being entirely destroyed and the upper story rooms body covered. The fire was discovered this morning at 2:51 o'clock after it had been burning for some time. The fire department saved a considerable portion of the building after fighting the flames for more than three hours.
Chancellor Lindley; "I would call the prize poem free verse, with ulyll as much inherent value as most other free things."
Flora Finch Kelly: "Spring Poetry? It's more than Spring Poetry. It's Spring Poetry."
The columns of the Gaily Kansan are not free from ads. Many clever ads were prepared originally by the Ehrdart Arts Institute as burlesque mail-order advertisement for their house organ. And in a predominant part of the series, but bit of vault entitled "Spring Poetry which contained the following:
"I, is for Lawrence, the home of K, U, famed for its sleepiness, lovefulness, too - standing beside the dastest river that ever you saw."
"U means unified as all were last fall who sailed up to West Point to see the football team give the old Army the scare of the year; so come again, boys; there's a warm wete me here."
Donorchy Canfield Fisher, an author of note, was one of the speakers at the dinner. She is the daughter of Uncle Jimmy Canfield, former professor of the University. Vernon L. Kellogg, A. B. M., A. 92. Washington, D. C., in accepting the invitation to talk at the dinner, said, "You might call my talk. 'From Kansas to Moscow via Washington.' I know," she said. The Kanans and shall certainly be present, even though I'll have to leave world affairs run along by themselves to do it."
