INFORMATION SOUGHT FOR NEW PARK SITES
Movement in Kansas to Estallish More Natural Parks and Recreation Grounds
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS. THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1921.
Kansas will soon have an opportunity to greatly increase its natural parks and to do its part in preservation of natural conditions in the state according to Prof. Howard D. Forrest of the botany department of the University of Kansas, who is chairman of the Kansas Academy of Science committee for the establishment of a National Botanical Garden has been undertaken by the Academy of Science in connection with the Ecological Society of America.
An attempt is being made to obtain information concerning suitable sites for such natural parks and to furnish information about the movement to all local societies and organizations that are interested in the improvement of their communities. The plan in brief is that areas of land throughout the country should be maintained and animal life should be reserved by the state as parks, the game to be used for recreation and experimentation purposes.
"There are many natural plots throughout the state," says Professor DeForest, "which would make ideal natural parks and recreation grounds. In the past such work has been to the local support and has suffered in many cases. Under the new plan, all new natural parks will be created in the state, which would also finance the preservation and upkeep of the grounds.
'What we are striving for now?' to get every locality that has a pro-spective tract for such purposes to send us information about it, its length, size and accessibility. Information may be sent to the University."

Today Probably Last Day or Trial—Fate Expected
Soon
MRS. HAMON UNEMOTIONAL
Frank Keteh Charged by Champion with Intent on Hamon Millions
Millions
Court House, Ardmore, Okla. March 17—Cara Smith Hamon today was pictured as a “country girl on whose breast had been branded the scarlet letter of shame by a rich and powerful man.”
Jimmy Mathers, county prosecutor, and J. D. Champion, twin brother of Judge Champion, made stirring plea to the jury for Clara's release when the arguments for the defense were made.
Both men charged that rich and powerful interests were trying to send the defender to jail so they could their clutches on the Hamen millions, Governor Robertson of Oklahoma was scored for slandering Attorney Gen-
Ardmore, Oka, March 17—Clara Smith Hammon woke and twitched nervously as court opened today. The girl, charged with staying Jake L. Hamon, dropped on the day she expected to learn her fate. Cool and confident, she turned up for the trial, Clara broke down on what will perhaps be the last day.
J. B. Champion, twin-brother of the judge, defense council, opened the argument today
"T.42 Attorney General is holding up the hand of a millionaire," Champion said.
"This girl is charged with seduc ing a 40-year old millionaire. Ridi culous."
"The Governor of Oklahoma is responsible for this case—he sent Freelier here to prosecute this country, stolen by Hamon!" yellow Champion.
Mats. Hamon was in court and heard her husband arraigned as a monster and a stealer of virtue. She was unemotional.
"When Jake Hamon sent this girl to college she was a brown-eyed country girl in her teens. He wood, he couwd, and won," said Champion.
Claver wte intermittently during Champion's accusation against Hannon. A sensation was sprung when Champion charged that Frank Ketch had his clutches on the millions of the need man.
"Frank Ketch, who told Clara that he would see she was acquitted if she released her claims against the Hamon estate, is a fine example of a law-abiding citizen. The prosecution is run by those who want to project their clutches into the middle of the Hamon millions!"
"There is only one way to rile the Hamon estate—that is to send her to the penitentiary!" concluded Champion.

BIRKHEAD ADVOCATES
INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM
Spoke to Two Hundred and Fifty Students at Y Luncheon
Nearly two hundred and fifty students heard Rev. L. M. Birkhead, of the All Saints Unitarian Church, Kansas City in his speech, "Religion and the Struggle for Industrial Freedom," in which he cited the relation between the present day industrial situation and religion.
He gave a number of concrete examples where a laboring man or a shop girl was compared to a mule or dog, and the animal is treated the better.
He said: "In the mines after a mule is no longer able to work it is taken out and allowed to spend its reclaiming time, but a miner, after he has become so old that his services are no longer of value, is turned loose to forage for himself. Any workman will tell me that many of today than if he were a slave.
Reverend Birkhead said that the trouble today is that so many men are idle. He defined a term which he called "Industrial Democracy" as being a condition in which every man shall have an opportunity to work for a living wage.
He said "that religion must not only fit people for Heaven and keep them out of hell, but it must find out how to get rid of this ill in the world and find a solution for this industrial unrest."
GEOLOGISTS IN OKLAHOMA
Students From K. U. Attend During Easter Vacation
Fifteen advanced students in geology, who are majoring in that department, will attend the summer camp for geology students maintained by the state of Oklahoma, in the Arbuscible mountains, near Dougherty, Okla.
Dr. Russel S. Knappen, an instructor in the department, will be in charge of the party, which will be conducted during the Easter vacation.
The site for the camp, a tract of two or three acres owned and kept up by the state of Oklahoma, is situated in the heart of the Arbucle mountains on the banks of the Washita river. And, according to Prof. F. L. Fleener, Assistant Professor of Geology, is an ideal location for such an exposition, as the geological land and affords it a remarkable opportunity for the study of structural geology, historical geology, and erosional features.
The trip will be voluntary, each student paying his own expenses, although credit will be given for it by the university. The ex ocursion will be made by train.
SCHWEGLER AT LUNCHEON
"The nature of man naturally divides itself into three distinct levels, namely the animal, the personal, as selfish or altruistic, and the divine," evangelist Wednede in his last of six volumes given at the -Y. W. lunaechoa.
Gives Last of Five Talks at Y.W.
"It is only natural for a man to be an animal, that as is his fundamental characteristic; he is entirely that and automatically reflects to that level. He is therefore venerated in that direction for hundreds of years. The social or personal level is more difficult of attainment. According to the trend of his thought he is developed in this level to be either a master or a novice in the art or superior motives. The third level is his divinity, his highest and noblest motives and impulses.
