THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Mineral Resources Of United States Is Geology Course Juniors and Seniors Not it in the Department Are Eligible; No Pre-requisites "Mineral Resources of the United States" is the subject of a course announced by the department of geology. The course is open to juniors and seniors, who are not majors in the department. No prerequisites are required. Prof. R. S. Knapp makes clear that the course aims to give an understanding of the resources and importance of the various resources throughout the country. In addition to the discussion of the location of different deposits, a general description of the methods of development, mining, or otherwise securing the different minerals, will be discussed. The aim is to the methods of manufacturing the raw materials, and the probable feature needs for each. It is planned to furnish the student a broad acquaintance with the supplies of the various resources combined with the conditions affecting their development and utilization. Metals Not Most Important “Contrary to the popular conception, metals are not the most important resources. The non-metals are more important. Professor Knappen in discussing the comparative money returns. The value of coal alone produced in this country is ninety per cent of the value of all the metals combined. As a contrast, the petroleum produced is worth more than the total valuation of these minerals, lead, and aluminum, annual output. Much attention will be devoted to the study of building materials, raw materials of the chemical industry, the mining of precious metals, and other metals upon which the industrial life of the nation is so largely based. It is interesting to note that the minerals used in their raw state constitute over half of all the railway freight stated in ton miles. Supply Our Own Needs The United States is unique among the nations of the world in being able to supply its needs of practically all the mineral resources. Nickel, tin, and platinum are the only metals which this country cannot produce in sufficient quantities for all normal or emergency demands. Potash is the only non-metalic substance which must be imported. Because of cheaper freights for ocean traffic and greater richness, or cheaper labor available, numerous mineral products are imported from other countries to a greater or less cost. Thus, a trade-off between foreign trade could be cut off with the exception of the items noted, without hardship to the country. International Meeting Forms Tennis Rules Adopt American Standard The American standard for required resiliency in balls was adopted at the international meeting of all the principal tennis playing nations recently in London. The American game is the only one, heretofore, that has made a specific rule as to resiliency. The American provision for a rest period after the third set in men's matches, and after the second set in women's, shall be followed hereafter in international matches, it was decided. A new international foot fault rule was adopted which also follows closely to the American rule. This rule was enacted by the United States Lawn Tennis Association and has been said that "the server shall stand with both feet at rest behind the baseline and within the limits of the center mark and side line. From the time of taking such stand until the raquet stuck into the ground, the player is behind the base line and at least one foot shall remain on the ground." W. S. G. A.

Basket Ball Team Defeated by Argentine Lawrence High School basketball team lost to the Argentine High School by a score of 30 to 17 and played 11 last Friday and Saturday nights. Mackie, star forward, started the game for Lawrence, but was sick, and had to retire early in the contest. Peterson, the rangers center of the visitors, was easily the star of the game. He made nine goals from the field, seven of the number being made up by the defense onward on the team, was the star for the local bakersets, making eight of the team's seventeen points.

The teams have seasons to whip the locals into shape In 1920 we finished fourth. In 1923, we finished third. In 1922 we tied Valley honors. It doesn't take an extra year to out what we are due for this year. Now about this Iowa trip: A lot was said concerning the ability of the Grinnellians. After the second Ames win, the wise heads said, "The Pioneers will be Kansas jinx." Maybe we don't recognize any such animal. This incident won't keep: Bowman was playing his usual fast game at Des Moines when, of a audden, he was catapulted over the side of the raised court to the concrete flooring below. A distinctly audible gag came from the crowd, and a hush settled over it. The 128-pound wiry Kansas forward slowly raised himself to his feet. His set mouth slowly relaxed into a wry smile as he painfully straightened up and limped back to the court. And the crowd cheered. It took that short and ugly little word, "Guts." So may the memorable chant of h Kansas quintet ring out over the Hill "WHATLL WE DO? BEAT MIZ ZOO!" Rifle Team Finishes With Good Showing In Telegraphic Mee Winning Squad Undecided a Aggles Have Not Wired Their Score The members of the team and the scores made by each are: William H. Hinton, 359; Paul H. Savage, 355; William K. Crain, 323; Jessie E. Roth, 337; Cleo A. Rinehart, 328; Capt. Geil C. Haller, 289; Henry G. Henry, 289; Robert B. Burkett, 289; Robert M. Ferrill, 305; and Irving M. Archer, 288. The R. O, T. C, rifle team made a score of 3249 in the telegraphic meet with the members of the K. S. A. C, rifle team, held last Saturday. The winning team has not yet been determined. The highlight score has not been received here. "This is excellent shooting for early season work," said Captain Achiebold. "The range has not been in a fit condition for use for several weeks and the boys have shown good form at the amount of practice that they had." that when we clean your clothes, it will be done right, because we use only the best of materials and skilled labor. The target which was used was a regulation national rifle association target, and the firing was done at a distance of fifty feet with a government issue 22 rifle. Each man fired ten shots each in a prone, sitting, and standing position, with two sighting shots allowed for each position. Several of the substitutes made good scores, but their work could not be counted in the meet, on account of the fact that the team was already chosen. Substitutes with score are: William R, Immer, 323; William Treu, 308; Henry K, Shane, 295; and Guy May, 294.

Conomow's Do People (Continued from page 1) credit, but think that foreign ideas are inferior. The typical American expects to be looked up to as a superior and to be treated as a prince while he is in a foreign country. America Charged With More Faults Than Others appreciate Fair Treatment? They tell us Yes America Emphasizes "Beat" In discussing this American attitude from another angle, Mr. Shaw pointed out that the big advertisers are in the process of improving their quality in their advertising. The American says that his flour is the "world's best." The big opera house advertises that it has the "most elaborate building and the highest class music in the world." The American traveling guide boosts that the falls at Niagara are the "biggest waterfalls in the world" and lists of "bests." To prove such gross exaggerations are being made, Mr Shaw referred to the article, "Well, I didn't know that" by Bach, published in the Atlantic Monthly. Contrary to the belief that any other country expands America along musical lines is the fact that Holland by their purchases of "S-S-S Clothing" "clothing at marked down prices" Why don't you investigate? at Our Regular Prices in preference to America Emphasizes "Best" (Continued from page 1) Carls Sale of Copyright, 1923, A.
