University of Kansas Strong for Safety First
School Leads in Apparatus for Training Specialized Engineers
That the University of Kansas is one of the leading universities of the West in the matter of safety engineering appliances was brought out at the meeting of the National Safety Council in Chicago, last week. F. H. Sibley, professor of mechanical engineering, was the K. U. representative to the meeting at which several middle western universities, including the University of Mississippi at Memphis, Kansas, Purdue, the Case School of Applied Science, and the Armour School of Technology, were represented
The object of the National Safety Council is the promotion of industrial safety, and the object of the meeting of last week was to promote the training of safety engineers in the colleges and technical schools of the United States. The demand for safety engineers is great at the present time, and the demand is constantly increasing. The University of Kansas was found to have applied the practical side of safety appliances and installed more apparatus for this purpose than most of the schools represented.
A conference of eastern colleges for the same purpose was held in New York about a month ago. Dean D. S. Kimball of Sibley College, Cornell University, was elected chairman of the committee. Dean C. H. Benjamin of Purdue was elected chairman of the eastern committee and he will appoint the remainder of the committee after he has corresponded with the other schools.

Specimens of Snakes
Shipped to Michigan
Department of Zoology Makes Loan for Purposes of Comparison
The University of Kansas has shipped thirty-six sars of snakes to Prof. Frank A. Blanchard, of the department of zoology at the University of Michigan. There are about forty-five snakes in the lot. These snakes in the lot. This is merely a loan and the snakes will be returned after they have been studied.
Through the will of the late Dr. J. L. Porter of Paola, Kansas will purchase bonds amounting to $20,000, the first day of the new Liberty Bond campaign. Of the money and property left by Dr. Porter, $20,000 was in cash. This sum is to be invested in bonds, and the interest goes toward establishing a “Dr. J. L. Porter Scholarship” in the Kansas Medical School at Rosedale, Kansas.
Snakes, bugs and animals are continually being sent to Washington and to other universities from here, because species from various localities must be studied. Kansas is an intermediate state and many of the species of animals found here differ in color and other characteristics from the same kind of animals in either the east or west. The fact that they are different between the eastern and western types of reptiles makes them especially valuable. Whenever it is desired to work up a sub-species here it is necessary to get specimens from both Eastern and Western states.

WEAVER'S
Well Dressed But at Moderate Cost
TO BE WELL DRESSED, even in these days of airplaning prices, does not necessarily mean that one has to pay excessive prices for his clothes. Not if he buys them "the Skofstad Way.
Our system is to cut out all unnecessary store expenses—credit accounts and their losses, end of season sales, expensive window trims, and free deliveries. This so cuts our selling expense that we are enabled to sell regular $22.50 and $30.00 values for
$17 and 21
Compare our garments with other men's clothing of higher price in style, fit, tailoring, linings and fabrics. The biggest difference is in price—and that is in your favor.
