VOLUME XIX
NIGHT LABOR RUSHES STADIUM COMPLETION
Searchlight Facilitates Finish
work on Six Sections
For Thanksgiving
DRAINS ARE ALL LAID
Mud and Rain Cause Delay to Entire Force Working on Stadium
The Unit Construction Company, although handicapped by rain and mud for a solid week, are practically up to schedule with their work on site. They are expected to move the greatest extent. Electric lights have been strung up and a searchlight mounted to make night work possible, if work of this nature is needed to get the scheduled six sections ready for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Half of the concrete work in the first section and one-third on the second section has been poured. This work has frequently been carried out into the wall, then shoved in shape to withstand the rain. The finishing work on the concrete jobs cannot be left over night as the rain will ruin the surface. This night work is made possible by the use of electric lights and the search-light.
The grading and excavating work has been carried on seven days a week for the past month. This is being rushed to get the football field in shape for playing. A large amount of rain has hindered this work.
The drain pipes have been laid, ground event off, and the thick layers of cinders and rich loam have been laid, over which the soil is placed and packed. This method will insure a very durable gridron.
Mud has been the construction company's greatest hinderance. The grading and excavating can not be carried on at all when the ground is in this condition. The ditch digging machine has a hard struggle dafter after the soil is broken. The soiling properly be properly laid until the ground is firm.
Footings for the supports are all set on the two west sections. These were put in during the extreme bad weather and completion is marked as a victory.
The heavy rains last week cause so much delay that only one full working day was put in during the entire week. There are 225 men employed on the stadium at present More are being added as the work increases, which it has and will in the future.
Ten days is the most behind schedule the company has been. If necessary the company will run two shifts of men, night and day to complete the six sections for the Kansas-Missouri battle thanksgiving day.

Reserved seats will cost $2,00.
general admission $1.50, and auto
space $1.50 per passenger. "These
are Washburn's prices, and as Wash-
burn requires cash of us, we cannot
accept checks." Dr. Allen said.
The feasibility of an inter-college wireless service for the purpose of exchanging news is being considered by members of the journalism faculty. This would mean that colleges and universities within a certain radius would own and operate wireless networks, enabling them to exchange news with each of the other institutions every day.
Colleges to Exchange News by Wireless
It is proposed there be a controlling station, which would direct all activities. At a given hour each day, say from twelve to one o'clock, each station would send news for perhaps five or six minutes, at a period allotted them, and receive news the next day. In school or university would know just what was going on in each of the others.
For some of the smaller colleges, this plan would have to be cast aside but in the larger institutions, although the expense might be rather large at first, its feasibility is easily seen.
From a news standpoint, this would be very desirable, but there are several drawbacks. Prominent among these is the cost necessary for each station. K. U. already has an apparatus, but it is doubtful whether many or any of the surrounding colleges and universities have equipment that cost entailed in the installment of a complete apparatus would, in the eyes of many, curb the value derived by the service.
To Recommend Improvements.
George C. Shaad, professor of electrical engineering and John M Shes, superintendent of buildings and grounds visited the state hospital in the past to assess the purpose of recommending improvements in the power plant of that institution.

SUB "R-6" SINKS WITH CREW
Eighteen Members of Crew Escape; Two Are Lost
Los Angeles, Sept. 27—Divers worked today attempting to recover the bodies of two sailors that were believed to have been lost when the ship Submarine "Rex" sank to the bottom of San Pedro harbor last night.
Eighteen other members of the crew miraculously escaped. A check of the roster of the ill-fated "R6" today showed the following missing: Andrew Staalsburg, electrician; J Dreffen, scamman. Divers said that there was "one chance in a million" to survive. The crew has been able to close the sightight compartments of the undersea craft and still be alive.
The submarine was moored to the U. s. Tender Camden, another craft, at the time she started settling. A boat crew had arrived at harbor tied the hawkers which bound the sinking submarine to its neighbors, dragging them down also. The entire crew was inside the bulb of the dock, arranging for target practice.
It is thought that a torpedo tube failed under pressure of the sea. The men poured out of the conning tower in single file before the errapping rope was thrown. Floating cranes will be necessary to lift the wreck which is now resting on the bottom of thirty feet of water, navy engineers said today.
One Drowned, One Missing When Submarine Sinks
Los Angeles, Sept. 27.-Believed drowned, was the casual list given to the United Press today by rear admiral Herman O. Stockey commander of the Pacific fleet train, following the mysterious sinking last night of the United States submarine R 2, at San Pedro.
The official lost: Drowned—R. Dreffen, seaman; Missing—Vincent Stalberg, electrician.
The body of Dreffen was shot out of the boat's coming tower by the encrusing water which filled and sunk the R6.
Earlier reports from San Pedro said it was believed that 10 were drowned. The reports from San Pedro also said the submarine base official gave.
"Hope was expressed that the list of missing may be materially reduced, although 10 were still unaccounted for shortly before noon today in addition to the two known casualties."
The Westminster Guild entertained last Friday evening with a party. One hundred and twenty people were present and the evening was spent games and music. Refreshments were served after the entertainments.

ENGLAND'S BUSINESS CONDITIONS IMPROVING
Threat of Anarchy Dispelled Country Slowly Getting Back to Normal
By LLOYD ALLEN
It's a long-up-hill climb back to the position of twelve months ago, even. But with the characteristic British dogged faith in the future, the country is slowly straining back to normal.
(United Press Staff Correspondent). LONDON. (By Mail.)—England is steadily overcoming the overwhelming business debacle of last May and June, when the ugly threat of anarchy was everywhere mentioned in press reports. —and is now enjoying a consistent week-by-week business improvement;
A brief glance at the official figures, however, shows the seriousness of the position in June, and the extent of its effect.
Official ministry reports show that over half a million workers have been placed on pay-roles since mid-June. However, the number of workless at this moment is still sufficiently large to cause overcrowding considerable woes.
On June 24 (the high point of British unemployment) there were 2,177,899 workers absolutely idle and over half a million on part time.
Surent indication of remarkable recovery are Ministry of Labor statistics on unemployment.
For August 19, the latest available official figures show, 1,640,600 workless with less than half a million part timers.
These figures include many women and girls, as well as boys. Classified into the sexes, the workless of August 19, are as follows:
Men 1,242,400
Boys 61,100
Women 200,000
Girls 47,000
Total ... 1,640,500
Meanwhile, the miners themselves are not enjoying their wartime prosperity. Some 100 mines are idle and 20,000 miners are workless.
England is beginning to hope that the great crisis of strained relationship between capital and labor pass from the factory to the workhouse—composed of railway workers, transport men generally and coal miners—failed to function in producing a general strike that would have halted the activities of national life.
And there is further hope—encouraged by the attitude of responsible labor leaders themselves—that an era when labor movement has ended, or at least been so thoroughly discouraged that the resumption of a long era of industrial peace and general prosperity will ever be ushered
