ENGINEERS ENROLLED APPROACH 600 MARK
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Number Includes 155 Freshmer and 435 Upperclassmen to Date
The enrollment in the School of Engineering for the second semester is approaching the 600 Mark, and, according to reports from the office of Dean P. F. Walker, will probably pass the l init when all of the late enrollments are to t present 155 freshmen and 435 upperclassmen are enrolled in the various engineering departments.
A large number of freshmen engineering students have either withdrawn or have been transferred to the other schools of the University. The enrollment of freshmen, last fall was approximately 200, and the present figures show a decrease of forty-five students. Fifteen of these, it was pointed out at the dean's office, have been transferred to the College and the remainder have been withdrawn.
"I believe that a large share of eschews withdrawals can be attributed directly to the tight conditions of fi-fances," said Dan P. F. Walker in discussing this phase of his ment. "OurSpecific charging loan fund has been completely exhausted so we will have many calls for money."
The number of enrollments in the sophomores, junior, and senior classes is practically the same as it was last full. There have been a few withdrawals, and a few new students coming in, but on the whole, the comment in the upper class consists of the same men that are in the classes to be noted that all of the 155 freshmen are new in the University, this year. It is likely that, when complete revisions are made, it will be found that a number of students who now class selfs as sophomores vary by severity of freshman. About seventy departments may be graduated from the various departments of the School of Engineering, at the spring commencement.
Thirteen women are in the School of Engineering. This record shows the withdrawal of one woman student since las t fall. Ten of the women students are enrolled in the department of architecture. The departments of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering each have one woman student. No women will be graduated from the School of Engineering this year.

Will Pass Bill as Reprisal Against Prohibitive American Legislation
ARGENTINA COMBATS RESTRICTIVE TARIFF
Buenos Aires, Feb. 3—Argentina has taken its first asst in reprisal against the proposed American restrictive tariff bill.
At the same time, its proponent, Deputy Sacoon, forecasts what may be in effect a world wide tariff war. Sacoon's measure, which could be introduced immediately on the reopening of the country to international congress, may first, as the Fortrey tariff bill be passed in the United States, provide for a 40 per cent tariff on importation of goods from all countries which have increased or created import duties on Argentine products.
"In view of the new American tariff bill, which is prohibitive, and because of the prospects of similar tariff measures being enacted in other countries, we are obliged to present our defense to order for international ex-tort and foreign trade," Sacon said in an interview with the United Press.

Rouge In a Double Role—On the Cheeks of Charming Women and The Lens for Watching Stars
will be about The American Association for the Advancement of Science has recognized the value of this telescope by
Rouge is not as bad as it is painted! The lovely first aid to pale women has far greater usefulness than that of beautifying. Rouge, in fact, at present is being used in a basement laboratory at the University to put the finishing touches on what is to be the largest telescope in the state and one ranking high in the list of those in the United States and in the world. Dismiss Alatr, associate professor of astronomy at the University, is completing a 20-inch parabolic mirror similar to the 100-inch mirror at the observatory at Mount Wilson, California, the world's most powerful telescope. He began work on the lens in April 1919, and has spent 150 hours in the grinding process. Then began the polishing, and this is rouge came in, following a course of carburment. The polishing thus far has lasted 125 hours. The rouge proxies the only polishing agent for the finishing purpose, and about 150 hours work remain to complete the mirror. The value of the finished mirror lens will be about $1,800.

making a grant of $200 for the purchase of photographic equipment necessary for the instrument. This is as large a grant as that body usually makes from their limb length but the recognition value of the equipment is at K. U. means much more than the money, according to Professor Alter.
Professor Alter intends to present the lens to the University upon the condition that it be mounted properly for use, which will require from 12 to 15 thousand dollars for a dome room, a concrete pier the mounting proper, and a revolving steel dome. He points out that this money will probably come to as a gift from some individual. He adds that large telescopes are memorials, made after their donors, and that the R.K.U. telescope offers unanticipated opportunity for such a permanent memorial to some Kansan.
A definite program for photographic observation of the ateroides (small worlds of three to three hundred miles in diameter, and similar to the earth) is planned by Professor Alberto A. Salgado and is mounted. Such a regular program is a much felt need in the scientific world at present, he says.

J. C. Nichols Makes Country Club Dream a Reality
GRAD IS PRACTICAL DREAMER
"A practical dreamer" is the way the World's Work speaks of J. C. Nichols, graduate of the University, who started the development of the Country Club district in Kansas City some dozen years ago.
--on Tuesday and Thursdays at 8:30 o'clock, will meet in room 101 Snow.
Mr. Nichols was impressed with the success of William R. Nelson's home building in the Rockcliff district of Kansas City, and set about to gain control of the waste land adolling it on the south, believing that it too could be converted into a district of built-in control of the district the first problem that confronted him was the working out of a rational street plan. He discarded the checkerboard block system and laid out the streets in accordance with the requirements of typography and traffic. By permitting the contour of the ground to determine the looseness of the walls, shape were carried out that invited the construction of unusual types of homes in a charming diversity.
Mr. Nichols provided that the plans for every house must be approved by the central office. The ain question was not what the house would cost, but what would be its surroundings; even its color had to be passed on. The plan proved so successful that it was extended to the Missouri district in modified form and wildlife associations were formed to ensure the odds and ends of maintenance.
A decade ago "practical" men regarded Mr. Nichola's scheme as an appropriate planking for a rich philanthrist, but out of the question as a commercial promotion. The success of his plan was ensured by an answer to these sneers. It is a vital going concern, one of the solidly established institutions of the city.
