IN BIG FARM PAPERS
University Preparing to AiA Agricultural Development Says Chancellor
GIVES FARMING ESSENTIAL
Only Trained Minds Can Work Out Complex Farming Problems, He Says
NUMBER 71
The function of the University on Kansas in developing better social and economic systems and a brighter home life on the farm is emphasized by Chancellor E. H. Lindley in the leading article in the Kansas Farmer and Mall Journal that describes The Mall and Breeze is the foremost weekly farm publication of the state.
"Farm practice, farm management and farm life are the three essentials of successful agriculture," Dr. Lind says.
"Excellent crops, obtained by universal knowledge of modern methods of farming, efficient marketing, which may be gained by reform of present disadvantageous methods of marketing, possibly by co-operative buying and selling, and a better life through the execution of a wise rural school system," he regards as the essentials of success in farming.
"Only trained minds can work out the solution of the complex problems that confront our 105 million of people," he believes. "We must train spe- ments so that we understand, as we must train one whole people to a better understanding of such subjects. The sooner we have more men and women better trained as thinkers, the sooner we will think in the same way to the solution of our problems."
"The University of Kansas," says Dr. Lindley, "has made and is preparing to make a great contribution in agricultural development. The college of liberal arts, the schools of medicine, engineering, and fine arts, and the school of division supply, assimilate elements of the desirable life of the farm.
Dr. Lindley also recalls that Kansas, now ranks, twenty-seventh among the states in public school systems, and has been passed in expenditure for schools; it is second among state, and be the neighboring states of Oklahoma and Arkansas.
TO READ LINGOLN
Hortense Nielsen Will Give Portrayal of Play
The date rule will be off or the Hortense Nielsen reading Thursday night—Helen Olson, President W. S. G. A.
The play "Abraham Lincoln," by John Drinkwater, of England, will be read by Miss Hortense Nielsen in Fraser Hall. Thursday night; January 6, is causing a recurrence of the comment that it brought on first presentation in New York last winter.
The script of the play is genera-
knowledge, and the Lawrence literac-
tors who have read the book are
divided in theory as to whether it
has been correctly interpreted the character of the Great Emancipator.
Mr. Drinkwater's conception of Lincoln's character follows closely upon Lord Charnwood's "Life of Linchow," it is said, and shows, in a series of six incidents, leading from the proffer of the nomination up through the slaying of the martyr president by the fanatic actor, Edwin Mouth.
Miss Nelson is said to be a dramatic impersonator of great ability, and by a thorough study of the characters of her presentations, acquaints herself with the history, geography, and the character of the persons she impersonates.
Bootlegger Confessions
Implicate Congressmer
UNIVERSITY OF KANSA S, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 5. 1921
Chicago, Jan. 5- That two congressmen, other government officials and many prominent men are backers of a bootlegging ring was alleged in confessions of several men under arrest here today.
According to the confessions, the two congressmen used their influence to obtain the release of several thousand and barrels of whiskey. The ring was said to operate in Chicago, New York and Jersey City.

REMEDIES OFFERED ADVISORY ASSEMBLY
Indifference of Organizations Toward Present Body Creates Lack of Interest
Criticism of the Advisory Assembly through its failure to function properly on account of lack of power to elect its own officers and to initiate student legislation featured the meeting of the organization held yesterday afternoon in Room 206, Fraser Hall.
The delegates stated that the indif-
ference of the men and the organiza-
tions on the Hill toward the Assembly in addition to the above-named reasons, was also due to the fact that the body was powerless and the delegates felt it a waste of time to attend.
Of the twenty-one representatives present, at least ten spoke in no uncertain terms as to why they considered the Assembly at present merely a passive body incapable of doing any good in so far as it gave the Men's Student Council an idea of concern student sentiment as if concerned the Council when legislation was referred to the Assembly for opinion.
wumm D. Rellly crystallized the onusess of opinion of the delegates when he said that the "cart was bore by the horse" and that the Assembly should initiate legislation and the council then accept or reject It.
That the constitution of the Men's Student Council should be amended in such a manner as to make the Assembly a living instead of a dead body seemed to be the remedy of present condition of organization.
The Assembly voted to have a section in the student government section of the 1921 Jayhawker.
A committee on the point system, consisting of Harry Glen, "Doc" Baldwin and Paul Merritt, reported back to the Assembly with the recommendation that more time be given for consideration.
A co-operative book store proposition was presented to the Assembly by Elmer Seifert. No action was taken on this matter, but Seifert was advised to continue his research in this direction.
Organization represented yesterday included Acacia, Garrett Court, Men's Club, Geka Club, Alpa PSi, Steecl Club, Herrick Club, Longhshire Club, Phi Delta Chi, Delta Theta, Phi Sigma Gamma Epsilon, Phi Kappa Alpha Kappa Sigma, Gamma Delta Sigma, Nu Sigma Nu, Phi Mu Alpha, Walling Club, Sigma Delta Chi, Thola Tau, Sigma Tau, Acomas.
W. S. G. A. Donated $50
To Near East Relief
The gift of $50 to the Near East Relief Fund by the W. S. G. A. was approved by a vote of the officers at the regular meeting of the association Tuesday night. The $50 was given by the organization as a Christmas gift which will do some work. The new committee drawn up by the Student Government Association will soon be ready to present to the women of the University to be voted upon, probably at the beginning of the second semester.

NEW HOSPITAL PLAN DISCUSSED IN DETAIL
Dean M. T. Sudler, Chancellor Lindley, W. N. Nelson, and Others Write for Journal
M. D. FAMINE IMMIMENT
Kansas is Only Replacing Practitioners in Medicine by 2 Percent Annually
The impending danger of a famine of physicians in Kansas is emphasized by an article of Dr. Mervin Sudler, D. M., Associate Dean of the School of Medicine at Rosedale, in the December issue of the Journal of the Kansas Medical Society, in which figures are presented to show that the present output of trained practitioners by the D.C. medical medicine in the state, will only replace the present supply of 2,688 registered physicians by fifty-three a year, a replacement of less than two per cent annually.
Other articles in the issue on the Rosedale hospital question are: The Medical School and the State, by Dr. Wilbur N. Mason, secretary of the state board of administration; The Case of the medical School and the State, by Dr. H. Lindley; The New Site and the Steak Taken for Its Development, by Dr. Sudler; The Architectural Problems Involved, by Ray L. Gamble, state architect; two articles on How the Medical School can Best Serve the ierogates of the Medical School, by C. Kilipp M. D., president of the Kansas Medical Society, and by D. W. Basham M. D., F. A. C. B. Other articles are: The Medical School Dispensary by Thomas G. Orr, chief of the "out patient department" at Rosedale and a narrative of his career—comprehensive of the medical school admin at Rosedale November 11, 12, and 13, last.
"The Board of Administration," says Dr. Mason in his article, "believes that the new site, a new hospital and a new program, -if appalled by its inadequate development -bring a new day to Roxborough in its services to the state."
"A modern medical school is the best and cheapest guarance of health and physical efficiency of a school. The more liberal Landy puts the biggest argument for the new hospital. His article gives seven reasons why the state should provide fully for the medical building and cells of the plans as well."
"This plan (for the new site at Rosedale) embodies the best experience of hospital and architectural experts. Its cost will probably reach three million dollars. The state will be asked to build these needed structures as rapidly as possible, probably within ten years."
The advantages of the new site are listed in part by Dean Sudler as follows; in touch with four cardinals; ideal in relation to metropolitan areas; area, 12 and 2-3 acres; many shade trees; paved on three sides, and improvements are all installed. State Architect Gamble's article details some of the specific features provided for, and gives some of the conveniences which will be installed in the proposed building.
The other articles are heartily in favor of the new building, and urge the passing of the medical school appropriation, pointing out the many ways in which the new hospital will benefit the public.
K. C. Banker to Talk to K. U. Economics Students
Albert Newman, vice president of the National Bank of Commerce, Kansas City, will address students in the department of economics at the University Thursday at 3:50 o'clock in Room 202 West Administration Building with such topics as general education and the federal reserve system. Anyone desiring to bear him will be welcome.
Mr. Newman will speak again at 7:30 o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce rooms before members of the Chamber of Commerce, Pi Sigma Delta, professional economics fraternity and guests. His subject will be The Federal Reserve System and the Present Economic Situation.

INDUSTRIAL SURVEY INCLUDES 30 CITIES
Dean P. F. Walker is in Charge of Project in Kansas Towns
Already the work 1 in process of completion in seventeen communities and will be carried out to at least as many more before the cata will finally be compiled and assembled for publication during the year 1921.
More than thirty Kansas cities will be included in the industrial survey of the state now being conducted under the supervision of the dean, dean of the School of Engineering.
In Kansas City, Wishita, Topeka,
Hutchinson, Independence, Coffeville,
Cherryvale, Iola, Port Scott, Garnett,
Arkansas City, LaVenance, Leavinwood,
Kansas City, Mankato, Akron, Atchison competent engineers have been securing the proper information.
To Salina, Manhattan, Abilene, Junction City, Newton, Dodge City, Garden City, Wellington, Parsons, Pittsburg, Ottawa, Hawthaw, Beloit, Belleville, Maryville, and others the work is to be extended, according to Burger, which includes this form of practical industrial research in the United States.
Data collected includes the facts of commercial and trade organizations, banking, transportation, highway building programs, water and electric power service and rates, fuel resources and costs, extent of dairying, extent of vegetable and fruit growing for canning, extent of poultry and egg farming, extent of forestry territory, status of the wholesale and jobbing business, supply of building material, housing and general living conditions and labor.
DISCUSS INDUSTRIES
Women's Mass Meeting in Fraser Well Attended
The women's mass meeting in Fraser Hall at 4:30 o'clock Tuesday was well attended and a large crowd heard the talk on industrial conditions under which women work, given in Fraser Hall yesterday by Miss Bressette with the state industrial commission. Miss Corbin in introducing the speaker, told how much Miss Bressette has accomplished for working women. A motion picture "When Women Work" contrasting the good and the bad conditions in industry was shown. The picture is being sent out by the women's section of the American Federation of Teachers movement was organized during the war and is still doing good work in improving working conditions.
Miss Bressette who is with the state industrial commission, explained that the commission is empowered to establish standards for women in industry and during the war conducted an extensive investigation of laboring conditions in Kansas. This investigation brought to light many abuses which the commission is now trying to remedy through progress legislation. It is easier to interget one thousand persons in the enactment of a law than six in its enforcement," said Miss Bressette "the commission never establishes an order without the benefit of shop experience."
The eight hour day and the eleven dollar minimum wage which was adopted by the commission and was to go into effect last April was discussed. This decision is now held up by a permanent injection obtained from the courts by a few Kansas manufacturers.

WORKER IN FOSSILS REQUIRES PATIENCE
Took Eight Months to Complete Skeleton of Ancient Animal
MARTIN LIKES WORK HERE
Palaentology Collection at K. U.
Best of Any Educational
Institution
Job died too soon. H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the department of palaeontology believes he could use him in his work of mounting specimens, always providing that Job would not lose his patience over the tedious work and go on a strike before the specimen was ready for his glass cage.
In a few minutes, visitors to the Dyche museum, glance over a collection of mounted specimens put together anily after years of patient, piecemeal work. One perfect specimen of a completed skeleton of an animal whose ancient name was Ptesiaur represents eight months of continuous work from the time it was received the matrix at the museum.
"No one can imagine the delicate work required in laying out a spee-men and putting it together unless he actually has seen it done," says Mr. Martin, the modern Job of Mount Oread.
The first job of mount a specimen is removing it from the formation in which it was found. Here is where Job would meet the second twentythird test if he were working for Mr. Martin. Mr. Martin tells of the time when he removed the skeleton of a Pleiosaur in Grove county for Judge E. P. West in 1808, Judge West went with Mr. Martin to the place where the skeleton had been found, but so touchy a picture that Judge entered the entire long, hot afternoon. Judge West sat down nearly with his back towards Mr. Martin and refused to look until it had been safely removed.
After the specimen, still in its rock formation, has been bolt to the museum, the next thing is its removal from the rock. A number of small sheenmaker awaits, flattened and rounded. The specimens are imbedded in hard faint rock, the preparates must work for weeks with a light chisel and delicate, sharp tools, always aware of the fact that one misent will do considerable damage to the specimen. Finally, a piece must be cleared away at the last pieces of rock.
After the removal of the bones comes the actual mounting which requires several more weeks of hard work. Sometimes vertebrae of piece of bone are taken apart and placed in pieces. But Mr. Martin fits them together as easily as if solving a puzzle. So familiar is he with the comparative anatomy of different animals that he can pick up a bone at once by classify as to its species and location.
The paleontology collection at the university is the best and most complete of any educational institution in the world. Only three independent museums are better, the American Museum of Natural History at New York, the Field Columbian Museum at Chicago and the National Museum at Washington, but more than $25,000, but its integrable value is much greater.
To Mr. Martin who has been connected with the museum twenty-one years, belongs a great deal of credit for the famous Kansas collection. More than half the mounted specimens bear his name. As a collector and preparer, he has been widely nown for several years. He has eluded several important positions in the Kansas museum. At different times he collected ogers from the British Museum, at London, the University of Chicago, the Field museum, at Chi cago, and once the head of an expedition to Paponica for Yale.
Questioned as to why he had not left Kansas for such favorable opportunities Mr. Martin answers:
"I have too high a regard for the K. U. collection and for Dr. S. W. Williston, the man who was so largely in instrumental in building it up."
Give Estimate on Total University Enrollment
Approximately 600,000 students are attending American colleges and universities, according to an estimate made by Leonard D. Fackler, secretary of the intercolligate prohibition association. This total is based on an estimate of the entire 1,172 higher institutions of learning.
Engineer Societies To Hold Debate Soon
A debate is to be held between in Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Society of Civil Engineers sometime in the early part of February. The definite date has not yet been set, but the tryouts for the mechanical engineers will be held at their regular meeting on Thursday, Jan. 6. The subject of the debate, Resolved; that labor should have a share in the management of industry through representatives of their own choosing, is the same that is to be held by Definior Law debate and also in the Missouri-Kansas debate. This proposition for debate seems to be very popular at the University this year, for besides the above named debates, it is also being used in some of the class debates in Green Hall.
"DETERMINATION WINS IN SPORTS"-BRADLEY
Kansas Track Captain Says Success in Athletics Depends on Spirit
Persist *nt* training and a grim determination to win will bring success to any athlete, according to Everett L. Bradley, Kansas' only point-winner in the national games, about a third last summer, and captain of the 1921 track team.
"It isn't so much consistent training on the track that counts in the end," says Bradley. "although that is necessary. To be successful, and this is especially true of the all-around athlete, it matters a lot. If you have a weak back, spend a summer shovelling wheat; pitching hay will develop your arms. Do not overheat, and remember, a good night's sleep before a meet is worth day's of training." The inspiring athlete must have patience. Preparation for a period covering, not a few months, but two or three years, or even longer, is necessary. Clean living his mottow; he has yet to take his first smoke or chew of tobacco; he prohibits a never tolerated liquor.
More than sixty-five medals and several cups and ribbons attest to Bradley's ability as a track man. He first won fame in the United States by winning the pentathlon at the Penn relay games at the University of Pennsylvania last spring, and with it the title of "America's premier athlete." A short time later he won a place on the U. S. Olympic team by placing second in the dekathlon and third in the pole vault in New York City. In the Olympic games at Antwerp, Belgium, this summer, he placed second in the pentathlon, a large Finnish athlete asking him out by a few points.
"Brad," as he is known to the students is not a large man, weighing but 170 pounds and being but 5 feet 10 inches in height, but is well proportioned and his muscles are all well developed. He has not always been an athlete. Until he was 15 years of age he says he was in high school in his freshman year in high school determined to overcome this handicap. Persistent training and a grim determination to win have brought success to him.
National and world laurels won on the track have not made the K. U. star conceded. "Anyone can be successful if he has the determination and the right spirit," says Bradley. "The determination shows itself in careful training, abstinence and a well-selected diet; the right spirit means fair play. The true sportman never takes undue advantage of his opponents, nor stoops to unfair methods to win a race."

ROCK CHALKS FOR OHIOANS
Support of Jayhawks Accorded to Defeated Gridiron Aggregation
The arrival of the Ohio State football team at the Santa Fe station this afternoon at 5:48 o'clock will be heralded by the Kansas队, the band and the "Thundering Thousand." The Buckeye team is bound for its native clime after its disaster exclosure into Californias Californias Rd at Pasadena, it was defeated 28 to 0 by the California State team.
A call for the "Thundering Thousand" and to congregate at the station and conduct an impromptu rally in honor of the Ohio team was issued at noon by many members of handball. The band will also assist in the peep meeting.
"Yea Ohio" will be thundered out to show the team that it has the support of the Kansas Jayhawks. A little of the old Kansas junglegar will be displayed with Rock Chalk. The game starts at 10 a.m. at a dinner tonight at the Kansas City Harvey House by the Ohio State Alumni of that city.
NEED BIGGER GYM
Seating Space for Games Too Small, Says Allen
"The basketball season is just about to begin," said Dr. Forest C. Allen this morning, "and the need of ew buildings for the University of Tennessee, and especially one which can accommodate athletes and the mobs f. spectators, is accented by the act that there are only about 600 kickets on sale for the first basketball game of the season, to be hold next friday and Saturday in Robinson between Drake and K. U."
The accommodations are wholly inadequate for the spectators. Crowds that would come are forced to stay away because of this fact. There are very few reserved seats and those who buy their tickets today and tomorrow will get the choice seats. None of the balcony seats will be reserved. There will be ten games this season.
Single admission is 75 cents. Student Enterprise tickets admit to ballet (unreserved). Enterprise ticket reserved for all games for $4. Season tickets for ten conference games cost $5.
Kansas Horticultural Law is Considered Best
"Kansas has the best horticultural law in the United States," declared Prof. S. J. Hunter, state ontologist. IN provides that all seedlings and nursery plants must be inspected by the entomological bureau before entering the state. By means of this law no diseased plants may be shipped in that will cause damage to the Kansas orchards, and the crusade against injurious parasites and insects is greatly benefited.
Each year, over 20,000,000 plants are examined, and in many of them have been found microbes that would have been used in disease control. Charts in which the diseased seedlings were planted. For instance, the Sam Jose scale, which is very difficult to exterminate, has been practically used to control the state is absolutely healthy.
The department of entomology has made a survey of every county in the state, and it is definitely known what disease infects each community, thereby by simplifying the process of ridding it of those diseases which take many thousands of dollars' profit from the state. Kansas may well point with pride to the horticultural law which it enacted in 1912.
