A collection of insects would hard-appeal to the average individual as means of saving thousands of dollars annually for Kansans, yet such a living is made in Kansas through the tenency of the entomological museum at the University, according to Prof. J. Hunter, state entomologist and head of the department of entomology at the University. This museum with its more than 276,500 specimens, ow ranks among the foremost of the world, Professor Jaime The museum was established in 1870 with 00 specimens by Dr. F. H. Snow who later became chancellor of the
a "This museum is of inestimable value to the state," said Professor Hunter, "because it enables the University to determine, on short notice, both the injurious and beneficial insects that may appear in various parts of the state. The department recently was asked to prescribe a map to check the ravages which were destroying thousands of dollars of leather goods belonging to a Kansas City firm. Specimens of the insect were sent here, and by comparison with insects preserved in the museum we were able in a very short time to classify the insect and prescribe the proper preventive measures. In many states it would be necessary to have an insect specimen shipped to the National Museum at Washington for classification. The Kansas collection in this case saved one firm thousands of dollars."
The department of entomology at the University is often asked for expert opinion on questions affecting the conditions of horticultural and agricultural products offered for sale in transit, "This phase of the work covers a wide range of subjects," said Professor Hunter. "For a Kansas miller not only are asked the department to pass away five ears of corn from a siding at Charleston, W. Va., which the congener refused to accent, alleging that they were infected with a pernicious insect. Upon investigation, the department found that the charges were unfounded and the shipment was accordingly accepted, thus saving the Kansas miller a large loss. The University of Kansas third among state universities in the national military trained for entomological service in this country, according to Professor Hunter.

Reclaimed Articles Show State of Mind
The Lost and Found department in Fraser Hall reveals some interesting side-lights on the character and private life of K. U. students in the past five years. Each of the lonesome, unclaimed articles and recolonies genetically related to the customers of its former owner. Of course everyone loses gloves; that is commonplace, there are dozens of them piled up in the Business Office, but it might be interesting to know the situation of the man who lost the brand of toilet paper and the central state of the student, who lost his vest.
There are lots of note books in the collection, lost no doubt just before quiz week occasioning their owners nightmares and chills and unaccountable absences on the final reckoning. In addition to these things there are pocket books, hat pins, button books, umbrellas, dissecting instruments and a package of embroidery floss and an ancient ear-ring.
Perhaps the most antiquated and hopeless of these unclaimed is a pair of black velvet earbands, back to the distal end of the derby, and darker than derby has long since passed into the discard, and at is home only in a Lost and Found department.

Each miner-member participates in profits proportionately to the amount of coal he produces.
The company is a partnership, unincorporated.
Wages are at the district scale, plus profits.
"At first many difficulties were encountered," Bourquin said. "Some men were energetic, ambitious workers; others were inclined to let their associates produce the coal, but wanted to share in the profit." In time, after several meetings and many business like methods were adopted and the mine was put on a paying basis."

A piece work plan had to be instituted to discourate the "blotted bondholder" feeling of some of the partners. Only bona fide illness now exempts a partner from paying his share of operating expenses, and his profits are figured on the basis of his production.
All the partners and all employees are union laborers, paid according to district scale.
"Trouble arises occasionally among the day men in this mine as elsewhere." Bourquin explained. "When these troubles cannot be settled between the day men and the committee representing the company, strikes have occurred. Under such circumstances, all work must be done by the partnership put down their tools and come out with the strikers, and the mine is life until the differences are arbitrated by the executive board of the miners' union."
The modern student who toldies half the night, lavages expensive gifts on the women, and spends a little spruce study studying should be thankful he didn't go to college a century ago according to a recent address of William Bruce Kigg, trustee of the George Washington University.
$10 Meant a Regular Time a Century Ago
Regulations issued by that college in 1824 prohibited students from leaving the college on Sunday, from leaving their rooms after 9 o'clock, or from going to any theater, barroom or hotel.
Mr. King declared $10 was all a student needed in those days for spending money for an entire year. "Now if a student can go to one party for that amount he is lucky. Mr. King wants you to get $100 to $80 would cover the year's expenses then. The most expensive board was $2.50 a week.
