THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
PLAN SUMMER WORK FOR R. O. T. C. MEN
Camp Humphreys, Washington, and Fort Scott, San Francisco, Chosen
The members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps attending camps this summer are promised interested work if the plans as outlined by the war department carry through. The Engineers will go to Camp Humphrys, a short distance from Washington, D.C., while the Army will go to Fort Wainfield Soak which is but twenty-five minutes from Market Street. The army throughout San Francisco. This will give members of the Kansas unit a great opportunity to see the East and the West and should provide excellent opportunity for the candidates the way up physical and musical bets during the course of six weeks training.
An advantage that is worth more than all the rest, sending to officers in charge is the chance to "touch elbows" with men from all over the country. The government allows the men chosen to attend the camps five cents a mile travel allowance, clothes also propped on an excellent mess for the entire battalion that is formed at the respective camps.
"These men will be encouraged to enter the National Guard organizations to put in practice the things they have learned in theory only. This in the end will help them to will bring in young officers to the subaltern positions who have had a better foundation laid than the subalterns who went before them." This will bring Reserve and Army units together and will unify the efforts of all in an endeavor to train a citizen army."
"It is my firm opinion," said Major Burdick, "that these camps and our training in schools and colleges will eventually take care of the training we need." In any emergency that we may have to face in the future.
Snowy Shirts Fight Losing Battle Here
"Despite the statements of the 'eastern educator', recently, the white collars and shirts are losing out in this part of the middle West," said the owner of the Lawrence Steam Laundry, who is owned by the company recently.
"Furthermore," remarked the laundryman, "to account for this was to lay the blame, partially, upon the comfortable days in the army when the soldiers enjoyed the O. D. shirts despite their diverse sizes of 18 inch collars and all white trousers. The limbs and even the soft collar collars, are losing in favor of the shirts with soft collar attached."
"Several years ago," he added, "all the laundryman received was stiff bosomed dress shirt sleeves. And all the laundries advertise what wash every time the baby."
The stiff bosomed dress shirts are slowly losing their places; due, no doubt, the laundryman said, to the decreasing numbers. The formal partitions on the Hill. The stiff shirt that buttoned up the back is practically no more.

Assembly To Decide
Museum A Wonder Nature Store-House
The urge of the eternal curious brings all sorts of folk to the Museum. Almost any time during the day you may find little groups of strangers marveling among themselves over the panorama view of birds and animals on the first floor, or wandering wide-eyed and silent through the intricate mazes of bird cages on the second floor.
The largest part of the bird collection is not mounted, but is in the form of bird skins which are kept in tiers of steel cases on the balcony of the second flood. The stuffed bird skins in these cases may be handled and examined more closely and are of far more value to students of zoology, than are the mounted specimens.
On the third floor it is the same. The collections in paleontology and anthropology mystify and amaze them, and they go away believing that they have seen all. But very probably they have seen not a third of the specimens and curios housed in the Museum.
In the same way there are thousands of stuffed animal skins
packed in huge cases in the taxi-driver's shop in the store room of the basement. These two rooms are the real wonder places of the Museum. In them you will find mounted sea lions and western coots standing side by side, and not at al or behind them. They are the collined in the store-room hang baskets of antlers and horns of mouse elk, and wild sheep.
Large collections in paleonology are stored in the basement as well as in the tower. With the exception of a few butterflies on the second floor, all of the famous Snow entomological collection is kept in closed cases on the third floor. The snow destroyer has the ability to destroy the delicate coloring and composition of these specimens if they are kept covered.

What Is Vacuum?
IF THE traffic policeman did not hold up his hand and control the automobiles and vugens and people there would be collisions, confusion, and but little progress in any direction. His business is to direct.
The physist who tries to obtain a vacuum that is nearly perfect has a problem somewhat like that of the traffic policeman. Air is composed of molecules—billions and billions-of them flying about in all directions and often colliding. The physist's pump is designed to make the molecules travel in one direction—out through the exhaust. The molecules are much too small to be seen even with a microscope, but the pump joins them along and at least starts them in the right direction.
A perfect vacuum would be one in which there is not a single free molecule.
For over forty years scientists have been trying to pump and jog and herd more molecules out of vessels. There are still in the best vacuum obtainable more molecules per cubic centimeter than there are people in the world, in other words, about two billion. Whenever a new jogging device is invented, it becomes possible to eject a few million more molecules.
The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company have spent years in trying to drive more and more molecules of air from containers. The chief purpose has been to study the effects obtained, as, for example, the boiling away of metals in a vacuum.
This investigation of high vacua had unexpected results. It became possible to make better X-ray tubes — better because the X-rays could be controlled; to make the electron tubes now so essential in long-range wireless communication more efficient and trustworthy; and to develop an entirely new type of incandescent lamp, one which is filled with a gas and which gives more light than any of the older lamps.
No one can foretell what will be the outcome of research in pure science. New knowledge, new ideas inevitably are gained. And sooner or later this new knowledge, these new ideas find a practical application. For this reason the primary purpose of the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company is the broadening of human knowledge.
