"It is known by some of us that the efforts to protect the streams and natural basins of the state have been blocked by certain commercial interests.

The danger that threatens the water supply of many Kansas cities was presented by P. F. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering. He urged that the engineering profession of the state live up to its standards of service to the people, and he urged the advantage of expert advice as to the reality of the danger and as a means to safeguard the cities.
That steps should be taken immediately by the people of the state to prevent further pollution of the Cottonwood and Neosho Rivers by the oil interests operating above cities which draw their supply from the rivers was the declaration of Alva J. Smith of Emporia, Illinois, who said of doing away with this evil were discussed by Albert H. Jewell, director of the "school."

Professor Williams was in Illinois over the week end in connection with his position at the University of Illinois to manage part of the country were up and the Illinois river at one point was eighteen miles wide. Other rivers were wiping out towns and destroying valleys from lands and crops on every side.
"Such conditions will never be remedied," he said, "until the people realize their los<sub>s</sub> and make a concert effort to overcome them. It will empower the people, he explained, "of the whole country to do its share, but as long as only isolated sections are working, nothing permanent can be accomplished. The work on the Mississippi levees down south can do no good as long as the north allow the whole of the flats there to so down the river at once."
"If the Mexicans come into the southwestern states and shoot two cows the whole country is afame at once" he said, "and yet we allow them to kill their own dollars worth of the country's wealth and many people just because we won't ourselves to meet the situation. The countries of Europe have solved the problem and it is up in the countryside graduating from our schools to meet the problem for America. It can be done, and it must.

NOT GUILTY OF ANY WRONG
President Feels That Only Hope For Porto Rico is New Governor
Washington, April 19 - E. Mount Riley, of Kansas City, will be removed as governor of Porto Batea in the near future. He is a source close to President Harding.
The President, it was said today by one of his confidants on Porto Rican matters, is "confined" that Rely is not the man to govern the island, and has decided it would be unwise to leave him there.
The President's views, it is known, have been communicated to leaders in congress, where there is a threat of movement to bring impaction proceedings against Kelly unless the administration acts. Harding is said to feel that the governor is not guilty of any wrongdoing, charged, but that the only hope for settled conditions on the island is to send a new governor.
It was also said that the President has abandoned any thought he may have had of transferring Rebly to a government post in Washington, such as membership on the War Finance Board. A place on this board would have been given Rebly, it was said he had been able, since his return to the island after a visit to Washington recently, to settle his difference. Instead, officials here believe matters have become worse.

YALE MAN APPOINTED AS LAW SCHOOL DEAN
H. W. Arant, Former Member of Yale Law School Faculty.
Comes Here
IS WELL RECOMMENDED
First Step in Expanding the School of Law, the Chancellor Declares
868er of law at Yale, will become Dean of the School of Law here, succeed Dean of the Woodge Green it was announced today to E. H. Lindley. Appointment of Dean Arant, the Chancellor explained, is in line with the plans for development of a great law school in ;" because of the beginning of expansion hoped by Kansas school. Dean Arant was in Kansas several days this week, in conference with Chancelor Lindley, Vice-Chancellor W. L. Burdick, who has been chairman of the School of Law face-to-face death of Dean Green in November, and with Dr. Strong Strong, former chancellor and now professor of law.
The new deam comes highly recommended by Denom Carbin of Yale Law school, and he was well spoken of y persons whom Chancellor Lindley set at the Bar Association meeting in Washington, D. C. during the holidays.
Professor Arant received his B. S. degree from the University of Alabama in 1911; and M. A., “with greatest honors” from Yale in 1912. He received from Yale also from Yale in 1915. He practiced law for several years, and when the Lamar School of Law was started by Emory College, Oxford, Ga., he was made professor of law. As secretary of this school, which was without a dean, he had much of the administrative work. For the past two years he has been held at the Law Law School, which has recently undertook changes to make it one of the best in the United States.
Doran Corbin, in a letter to Chancellor Lindley, commended Professorrant as "scholarly and energetic with great force of character."
Wint Smith, LL.B,21; who is now attending the Yale Law school, wrote A. G. Hill, alumni secretary, saying that all the former Kansas students, that whom are now at Yale, are onluisuals in their praise of Professor Arant.
“He is the type of mma who can get things done with a smile, and at the same time being strict,” writes Mr. Smith.
Professor Arent is a native of Alabama, is 36 years old, is married and has two small children. After the conference with Chancellor Lindley's cabinet last night he left for Birmingham, Ala., to visit his father.
Appointment of Dean Arant is the first step in expanding the K. U School of Law, the Chancellor explained, since his coming will give the school a faculty of six instead of five. Still others are to be added as fast as University funds allow and the proper men for the places are chosen. Mr. Arant, five of the six members of the faculty will be Yale man.
Doctor Strong apoke enthusiastically of the coming Dean Arant, and of the increasingly better standard of the University School of Law, and of the college in general, out also, that Kansas supreme court has taken a step in advance of other states, in requiring that applicants at the bar examinations shall have had two years university training, provision becomes effective in 1925.
1 Mr. Arant will come here in June
2 to talk over plans for the fall work.
Summer Class Schedules Ready For Distribution
The 1022 Summer Session Class Schedules are at the office of Dean R. A. Kent, Room 119, Fraser. They have been definitely worked out and it is unlikely that charges will be made in the schedule, according to Dean Kent.

A supplement to the Summer Session Catalogue has also been printed which contains the announcement of the courses in Physical Educat on and off campus. This also contains additional information concerning requirements and fees.
