CITY OFFICIALS ARE MORE PROGRESSIVE
League of Municipalities is Kept Busy Aiding Kansas
Officials of Kansas cities are waking up to the value of exchanging ideas with each other, according to John G. Stutz, secretary of the League of Kansas Municipalities with headquarters at the University. Today officials of 156 cities are pooling their ideas of city administration for exchange through the medium of the information bureau and Kansas Municipalities, official magazine of the organization.
"City officials twenty years ago were generally too prejudiced to believe their fellow officers of a neighboring city had any ideas which would be useful to them in the administration of their own city," and Mr. Stutta, in discussing the matter of awakened interest. "But times have changed. City officials are now aware of the value of co-operation and the exchange of ideas, and are keeping the information furnished by the mayor busy with general legal questions, drafting ordinances, compiling city water, tax and economic rates and furnishing data on city parks and the city manager form of government."

Send the Daily Kansan home.

This class is held every morning or three hours where the fundamentals of show card display writing are taught. The merchants show much more interest and enthusiasm than he average student.
One merchant was heard to remark that he believed he was getting the "spirit of the University" after being here several days, seeing students playing football and seeing basketball ball game last night, and doing a little thinking himself.
"It is a wonderful opportunity to be able to come here," he said, "for the practical benefit obtained from the lectures is great, we get in touch with the State University, and it's a nice little vacation, too."

ELECTRICAL LAB. CROWDED
Seventy-five Enrolled in Electrical Engineering Laboratory
The electrical engineering laboratories in Marvin Hall are crowded to such an extent this semester, that enrolled in that laboratory, have been twice as many classes as are usually formed for the semester's work. According to W. R. Neumann, instructor in electrical engineering, the laboratory classes are being run in eleven sections, and about seventy-five students are enrolled in the class present. Another laboratory instructor, Mr. C. E. Stevenson, has been added to the faculty of the department.
"This unpredicted enrollment in the electrical laboratory work," said Mr. Neumann, "simply shows that electrical engineering, here, is getting back to pre-war conditions. Before the war we saw this rush coming, but after the war the growth of department was almost at a standstill."
The enrollment in the electrical engineering laboratories consists of sophomore and junior electrical en-
gineering students, and mechanical engineering students.

MARCH TO BE CRISIS IN CHINESE FAMINE
Bishop Just Returned from China Describes Conditions Students Give Benefit
The month of March will be the most critical period in the relief work being done in the five famine stricken provinces of North China, said Bishop W. R. Lambuth of the Methodius Episcopal Church, South, who has just returned from an extensive tour through the famine area, in an interview with the American Daily Standard of Chicago.
"By the month of March even such food supplies as are now available will be completely exhausted," said Bishop Lambert must be pouring in large quantities by the beginning of March. It will have to be kept up until early in June, when the new crop, which shows promise of being 50 per cent of normal, will be ready. It will just be able to feed themselves.
"Only 50 per cent of the crop can be expected, because only half of the arable land was plowed on account of the shortage of seed and animals."
Bishop Lambeth that conditions in the exterior of Shantung province where the famine is most severe. "baffled description."
He went on to tell of being kept awake all of one dreadful night at Tientsin by the group of 25,000 hapless refugees, starving and almostnaked, stretched out along the hard stone caves of the city. He drew a terrible picture of the city by freeing at Kalgen, just north of the Great Wall of Wuzhen, of a thousand ruins that had been driven from home by tales of plenty to the man, who had sold their winter clothes, and to buy food.
to the measures of relief, Bishop Lambuth declared that the Chinese themselves were doing their utmost "In Shanghai at least" to convince co-workers over 20,000,000 tads, the tad being equivalent to $1.30," he said.
The Chinese students at the University are working on an entertainment which they expect to put on it. They also send a fund to help the famine relief.

Williston, head of the museum, rolling to the rock and pushing the immense rock into a sack carried it a mile and a half to camp on his back.
Mr. Martin tells of an interesting incident of this trip. The supply of baking powder gaseous out and the parachute falling over to cut "skimmers."
