PROFESSOR STUDIES
HEREDITY OF TURKEY
s Only Scientist So Far Engaged in This Field of Investigation
Dr. W. R. Robertson, of the department of zoology, who is at present carrying on investigations on heredity in the turkey, is the only scientist so far engaged in this field. He has been working since 1916 on the information obtained from hereditaries in crosses between the various breeds. This field has been practically neglected by scientific research. Nothing so far has been done in a scientific way towards developing the turkey, although many ex-species remain and are being carried on with the chicken, guinea, duck, and goose.
"One of the most practical results of this research work on the turkey," said Doctor Robertson, "is in finding out which breeds are the most resistant to the disease known as 'blackhead', which to the turkey breeder is the most devoid of all diseases. The Bronze turkey seems to have the greatest resistance to it, and the Black variety has the least. By proper selection, it may be possible to breed a turkey that will not attack to the disease. The Brodbald Smith of Harvard University is at present working on the cause of this disease, and it is hoped that great results will come from his experiments.
"Turkey eggs are very good to eat. I believe it would be possible to develop a turkey that would lay as well as chicken." The answer is over 300 eggs in one year, whereas the highest record known for a turkey is 200 eggs in a season. But with proper facilities, such a turkey can be mentioned above might be developed.
"My efforts have been principally toward working out the relation of the various breeds through heredity," said Doctor Robertson, "I began by asking about the color of the Bronze Red. An intermediate was the result but when these were mated, 25 per cent of the offspring were Bronze, 50 per cent intermediate and 25 per cent Bourbon-Red. When either was mated with the Black or Narnagarstess, the resulting population was The White is an Albino and might be tolgy of the above breeds.
"I am at present working on the relation of the Slate variety to these reeds and am crossing the wild species from New Mexico with the five colored varieties of the domestic turc." Robertson said.
MacMurray Discusses Poetry of World War
ong-Selig Wedding Was at Gamma Sigma Hous
"Out of every war comes a great body of poetry," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, head of the department of public speaking, in a recital on "Poetry and the World War," at the University of Chicago. Of the war poems are worthless; others will always live," he continued. Among the poems which Professor MacMurray considers worthy to live, may be mentioned: "Young Fellow, My Lady," by Robert W. Service; an acrostic poem by Robert H. Moriarty's Son." I have a rendezvous witt death, by Alan Seger; and in "In Flanders Field."
Miss Sybil Woodruff*assistant professor of home economics, will go to Chicago next week to attend the Home Economics meeting.
The marriage of Gladys Long, c22, of Greenleaf, Kansas, and August Selig, B. S., of Lawrence, took place at the Gamma Sigma House at 6:30 o'clock Sunday. Reverend Goehring of the Lutheran Church officiated. He will lead a service until June, when she will join her husband in Hampico, Mexico, where he is doing geological work for the Government.

At 8 o'clock Tuesday night, the crucial game in the Valley title race will be played at Columbia, Mo. The dayhawkers leave at 8:20 o'clock this evening for the land of the Tiger, primed and ready for the big battle which means so much to the two Valley leaders.
Coach Forrest C. Allen will take nine and possibly ten men on this invasion which includes the Missouri gane and a contest with the Washington Pikers, Captain Woe, Woetemeyer, Wulf, Endacott, and Black
are the robbers who will start the game against the Tigers, while Frederick, Bostrom, McDonald, Krupp, broombaum, browns, and side lines ready for any emergency. The Allentables leave Kansas City at 10:10 o'clock tonight and will be dropped off before dawn in Centralia. In the morning they will be towed across to the little town of Columbia where the historic struggle is to be staged. Arriving in the Tiger jungle the Mount Orand warriors will take a short workout on the Missouri court, amble out in the afternoon for a short tour of the Columbian country side, thence back to the Daniel Boone
The Kansans will enter the game, not over confident, but sure of their own ability. The Jayhawkwer strategy and team play to the Drake Bull Dogs quite by surprise and left the kneller followers wondering how the Missouri cagers were able to register a victory over the Lawrence five in the previous game. That defeat is forgition, but not the lesson, and the Kneller players have taught Columbia with the knowledge that defeat means a second berth position while victory should give them a title tie.

Professor Alter Thinks Planet Is Too Cold For Any Life
NO PEOPLE ON MARS SAYS K. U. PROFESSOR
CANALS ARE DELUSIONS
Sending Wireless Messages to Fabled Inhabitants is All "Bosh"
There is little possibility of life existing on Mars, said Prof. Dixon摩恩 in an interview this morning. "Mars," continued Professor Alter, "is a small planet; its diameter is about half that of the earth, and its mass is only one-tenth that of ours. Owing to this fact, hydrogen and oxygen escape rapidly from its atmosphere, and there is no theoretical theory of gases. Its atmosphere is very thin being equal to one-fifth that found on our highest mountains. We know how hard it is to live on the mountains; then what chance would a person have living on Mars? The planet is very cold due to the surface sorbing air of air, like we have, and the fact that it receives only one-half the heat from the sun that we receive. Mars has no large lakes or oceans, for we could see them with the modern telescopes that we have, or without them, exists only in small quantities, and then it would be in the solid stars.
"Mars has, like we have, "snow caps" around its poles, which regularly advance in its winter, and retreat in its summer. I do not believe how, because of the heat, it can hold all of it, but merely frozen air, probably frozen carbon dioxide, which solidifies at 10 degrees below zero. This temperature would not be at all uncommon on the planet. For these caps to at present contain no life like ours.
The so-called "canals" on Mars have caused more good newspaper space to be wasted than anything I know of. In fact, they do not exist. The canals were discovered by an astronomer with a 24 inch telescope. Other astrometers, as soon as they heard of his discovery, looked also with larger telescopes, and were unable to see them. Then too, photographs of the planet fail to show any signs of the canals, and the eye of the camera does not err, for it is not possible by photolithography to an active imagination. That canals' suit of an optical illusion due to the tendency to connect up indistinct dots with lines has been proven by experiment.
"It is all boilsh to try to send a wireless message to Mars, for there aren't any animal life high enough to receive it, and any serious thinking beyond such a plan is either an crank or one who wants to gain nattery."
When asked when Mars would be closest to the earth, Professor Alter only replied he hadn't cured even one of them. The track just when it would be nearest.
Business Men Testified Here Friday as to Women's Wages
INDUSTRIAL COURT HEARING
The Industrial Court hearing which was held in Lawrence last Friday announced no definite results at the close of the hearing late that afternoon. The chief purpose of the hearing was the gathering of data on living costs and the present conditions in industries employing women.
Merchants from Ottawa and Lawrence, the two towns for which the hearing was held, testified as to the wages of women employees at the stores and factories in those towns. The nine hour law for women in Kanada was enacted as an injunction in the cases of these industries having seasonal rushes.
The members of the commission left Friday night for Topaike. Monday they will hold a similar hearing in Kansas City, Kansas.

CARL SANDBURG
MAY COME HERE
Arranged
The Chicago Poet Will be Here In March If It Can Be Arranged
Efforts are now being made to secure Carl Sandburg, the Chicago poet, for an evening's entertainment at the University of Chicago more time in March. He is making a tour of this part of the country, and has engagements before the Topeka and St. Joseph press clubs, and at Manhattan. The Chicago poet is well known, and is heralded as the "Most American of American Poets." He first came into international notice through the publishing of a volume of poems written, noisy industrial life of Chicago.
But the best thing about an event with Sandberg it is said, is that he does not lecture, he entertains. He plays a guitar and sings plaintive. His music contains chunks of cowboys of the great Southwest as they ride, songs of the roads of steel and songs of the industries of America. They are the folk songs of America, mobilities that are not uninterrupted, but still have never been printed.
"Smokes and Steel" was the name of the volume, and it treated of the commonplace in everyday life—the street corner the glare of the furnace whir of machinery, the man in his clothes who fled to safety, those were fused into a human treatment of the warp and woof of life. Breaking from the literary, cold guilt of most American poetry, Sandra took a new view—he used of the street and he brought it a warm, mystical tenderness.
NEW SCHOOL COMMISSION ACTS

ENGINEER STUDENTS HEAR NOTED SPEAKER
Mr. John Mills Speaks on the Vacuum Tube and Its Application
AUTHORITY ON WIRELESS
Was First Man to Use Wireless Telephone to Foreign Countries
"The Vaccine Tube and Its Application," was the subject of the address given by Mr. John Mills to the faculty and the students of the School of Engineering this morning in the auditorium of the School of Engineering, demonstrating experiments, by liantern slides and by moving pictures. Through the use of these he described recent studies of the voice and of its action on the human ear which have been made by the research physicists of the Electric Company and of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
In connection with the lecture on the Vacuum Tube he brought in the value of wireless telephony and its use of reducing the operating expenses.
Mr. Mills is one of America's leading electrical engineers, and the author of several technical books dealing with, the development of the present system of radio and telephonic communication.
He had the distinction of being the first person whose voice was carried through the other across land and sea, via radio telephony to Honiola, when radio telephony an advance stage in 1915. He is also the personnel manager of the engineering department of the Western Electric Company, the research branch of the Bell System. At the present time he is visiting the leading technical schools and educational institutions of the country, having a course of lectures under the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.
