SANITARY ENGINEERS TO HOLD CONVENTION
Superintendents of Water Works and Sewerage Disposal Plants Will Be Invited

---
A convention and school for sanitary engineers of the state of Kansas is to be held here some time the latter part of April, according to a report by G. C. Clarks of the department of civil on engineering, this morning.
Those who will be invited to attend these meetings will be the superintendents of the municipal water works and sewage disposal plants of the various towns of Kansas. In talking of the matter in several towns, Prof. Albert H. Jewell, head of state engineer, found much interest in the matter, and enthusiasm for the convention.
The purpose of the school is for the instruction of these superintendents, in the best management of their plants, as many men, when they take up the work are, according to Professor Williams, almost entirely ignorant of the methods of operation of their plants.
Among prominent speakers who will assist in the convention are Prof. G. C. Whipple of Harvard University, who Professor Williams says, is one of the foremost authorities of the world of this subject, and Prof. H. Honk of Michigan. The exact program and date has not been set, as yet, but the tentative time of the Convention is April 18 to 21.
Whitcomb Says "$1,200 a Year"
Has Real Message
PLAY A TECHNICAL SUCCESS
"There is a serious meaning in the fun of 'Twelve Hundred Dollars a year'," and S. L. Whitchbob, Professor of Literature, this morning. "Besides being an excellent comedy play, and full of good situations and characterization, 'Twelve Hundred Dollars a Year', by Edna Ferber, has a real message. The salary situation among educators is always interesting, but the presentation by the play is the danger to education from dication by money. The idea that the man who pays the salary can govern a man's thought and what he teaches, and the revolt of one college professor against such dication is the theme of the play.
"Twelve Hundred Dollars a Year," will be presented in the Bowersock theater March 13. Tickets have been placed on sale at the Round Corner Drug Store, and reservations may be obtained at once.
Mr. Whitecomb said that he considered the play a technical success, "The element of suspense is well kept up, the situations are bright and amusing, and the play is full of good characterizations," he dramatic club lighted that the dramatic Club has this fine, dynamic play to present."

Snowfall Will Benefit the Wheat Crop, Experts Say
Kansas City, Mo., March 6—Southern Kansas city and many areas of southern Kansas again received moisture in the form of rain or snow today. Temperatures were falling throughout the state.
Salina, Kan., March 6—A snow storm of much more value to the wheat than the heavy precipitation last week was falling here today with from 2 to 3 inches.

K. U. STUDENTS ENTER COMPETITIVE DESIGNS
Architects Submit Plans For Kansas City, Kansas Memorial Hall
D. Kent Frohwer, e2', and R. B. Bloomgarten, e2', University of Kansas architectural students, have submitted designs of the one-half million soldier's and sailor's memorial which is to be built by Kansas City, Kan-
Their design is among six submitted by architects of Kansas City, Kansas. The winning design will be chosen from the six by the city commissioners in conference with the memorial committee this month.
The building proposed by Frohwerk and Bloomgarten is taken from the classic architectural style.
Twenty-seven columns are to surround the building, thus symbolizing the twenty-seven allied nations in the recent World War. The four towers on the Memorial Building are designed to represent the four services—the army, the navy, the marines, and the non-combative services such as the
Red Cross. Inside the building is an arch, and near it two guard protects the memory of the men who failed to reach the area; they are engraved on a plate near at hand.
It is to have a main auditorium and
a balcony, each with a sensing capacity of 2.240 and a memorial hall seat-
count in the stage accommodating
like number.
This design was shown in the Sunday Kansas City Star is the second drawing by University of Kansas Students to be published within the last two weeks. The first shown in this paper was drawn by the drawing of the proposed girl's dermitory at Washburn by R. R. Hibbs c22.
MORALS NEEDED IN BUSINESS
Dr. McKeever Advises a New Business Basis
"A new noral program on a new righteous basis is what the business world is suffering for most today," said Dr. M. A. Wenke, formerly with the department of child welfare, in speaking on "The Immorality of Business," before the commercial Club if Tarkio, Mo.
"The schools and colleges have been partners in our business denormalization, and they must help the country to get back on his feet economically. No student should be graduated from either school or college who has worked in an industry that matters productive industry, theft, and business honesty.
"Not speeding up of production and an adjustment of wages and traffic, but a higher degree of honesty, will put business on its feet. Graft, greed, and immoral traffic on the part of the investing class; loafing, cheating and selfishness in business; extravagance, wastefulness and recklessness on the part of the spending class, these indicate what is the matter with business."

A Piteous Object, Lonesome and Forlorn. Doomed to the Gloomy Basement of Dyche
Its lips were compressed tightly. Its small wized face was drawn piteously, and the soft eyes were swimming with tears. Its whole face expressed the emotion of one struggling with the gulp of sorrow that sticks in the throat and will not be drowned. And below the mute face was outstretched a tiny appaling und.
The onlooker changed his position a trifle, and presto he was looking at the culmination of all wisdom as shown in a face whose brow was tranquil with the knowledge that is sure, whose lips were sealed, and whose dreaming eyes were shining with the vision of far places. One hand the vision of with the vision that shares with the world its own plenty and—

saving to the community and thus allows the resident of such a community more money. Mr. Ise also cited the fact that although during the depression period the country has gained in wealth between $5,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000, the business of the county has slipped backwards.
The lecture of John DeWild at 11:30 on clock "Effective Display Advertising" was for the purpose of trying to get the merchants to adopt a definite plan in carrying on their business. This is advertising is the kind of publicity that sells the merchandise and first of all you must adopt a plan for publicity. This can be most satisfactorily done when there has been a mailing list made, a trade survey, and a study of the copy to be used in selling the article," continued Mr. DeWild. "However," stated Mr. DeWild, "there are no definite rules for advertising copy but that it must be considered that the product should be found to be sound, is the most effective coy that can be used."
Mr. DeWild's lecture concluded this morning's lecture after which a Mer-

He is the only specimen, with the exception of the giant ibis's killer bone, that the museum claims for its animal collection from Africa. Such specimens, the
curator explained, are received from circuses and road shows that pass through the town, and present the music and images to people that die during their stay. The on-camera key race includes more than two in thousand specimens, the curator said.

"Powder River" Film to be Shown to Full House
From the advance sale of tickets for 'Powder River,' the official War department film being shown by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion, the two organizations predict a full house at the Bowersock both Monday and Tuesday nights. These pictures are the only official films of the holocaust that shook civilization and only allowed to be shown the public under the auspices of veteran organizations.
"Powder River," for many years the battle cry of the coupchommons of the West, was the war who comes from the lusty threats of men of the western division that ran to take control of the tall timber in the "bird drive." One of the most thrilling scenes is a battle between a German airman and an American observation balloon in which the balloonist is forced out. Soon after, the German is brought down by machine gun fire.
An American Is Sandburg
And he writes in the American language, with its col loquialisms and its slang.
Sandburg is making new poetry. He doesn't belong to any of the art movements. He's not a member of the Mystic Ear Wrigglers, and he's shy on their passwords, as a critic once said. He's a movement all himself.
And his voice. It is a round, full, rich baritone, curiously vibrant and alive. When Sandburg reads his poems of smoke and steel, of beautiful race horses, of the little girl who was loved so but went away nobody knew why, his audiences sit entranced.
The ache of crude passions, the snort of crude laughters, the caress of strong hands—all these make love to you out of the poetry of Carl Sandburg.

Old Mother Nature Draws Abe Lincoln
Who does not remember the days when one stood in short trousers or long dresses on the Midway of the County Fair and watched in open couched amusement, the artist who cut the silhouettes from black paper of those so fortunate as to possess the necessary small change.
Nature has tried her hand at the hiltonette game and to show that she is better than the average artist, has picked the profile of Abraham Lincoln as her subject. This profile can be found at the corner of Tenth and Tennessene any night that the Light Company sees fit to illuminate the street, and is remarkable in its exactness. It is truly remarkable freak of nature, is that when the sidewalk level was made it was found necessary to cut away some of the roots of the tree. The street light on the corner is so

The best time to see the shadow is to drop by with a date just as your vocabulary is exhausted and you are striving to keep up the conversation until you arrive home. It is a sure stimulant and can be made the basis for an animated discussion on that old saying, "Aimn't Wonderful."
