Chemical Research Men at K. U. Seek Deposits to Supply Fertilizer
WEAVER'S
See them displayed in our side-walk case
With the idea of developing in Kansas the production of a commodity of rapidly increasing value, the division of State Chemical Research at the University of Kansas is conducting an investigation on the salt deposits and brine waste of asa to ascertain a possible source of all specimens sent the department will be tested without charge.
charge.
The severity of this substance since the beginning of the European war has made it is essential that a new field be obtained, since the German government, which controls the supply of the entire world, refuses to let potash be shipped outside German territory.
Prof. W. A. Whitaker of the Metallurgy division at K. U. has appointed E. E. Lyder, an assistant in the Chemical Research work, to investigate the situation. Thus far no samples from the salt deposits of Kansas have shown more than one-tenth of 1 per cent potassium. However, few specimens have been submitted, that does not think that deposits showing less than five per cent potassium could be advantageously work in this state.
"If an accretion containing the necessary amount of potassium has been found in Kansas, we can improve the soil of the entire state as well as furnish fertilizer States." said Mr. Loyer, "Kansas farms, with their fertile soil, do not as yet demand as much artificial assistance as several Eastern and Southern states, where it is essential that when it rains, when it will be just as necessary on the Kansas farm as it now is in other localities."
The German deposits extend over a sixty mile stretch beginning at Stasfort near the Herz mountains. The minerals forming the potash were laid in place by the evaporation of sea water confined in lakes, which, somewhat like the Dead Sea, were without outlet. They were, however, connected with the sea by channels, obviously dry, but which contain salt water from the oceans, body during our continental expansion, forming fresh deposits. After continuing evaporation, layers of rock salt and sulphate of lime were formed. It is thought that the Kansas deposits were formed in a similar manner. This lends credence to the belief that potash may be obtain from the Kansas field.
I. U. AND PURDUE MAY MERGE
Sanitary Cafe, 916 Mass., for chili oyster stews, sandwiches, coffee, at all hours.—Adv.
The financial burden involved in running two state institutions of higher learning in different localities is now being felt by Indiana, where there is a legislative proposal to consolidate the State University at Bloomington and provide the State technology school at Lafayette. There been talk for some time of the inadequacy of the water supply at Bloomington, but sponsors for the present merger bill say that the measure is primarily in the interest of economy. The question may be located at Purdue and that the buildings at Indiana State be used for other State institutions. Nothing is said in the news report of the prospects of the consolidation bill, but if the experiences of other states in similar controversies is any criterion Indianapolis must confront. College spirit, as it exists today, does not willingly permit the virtual absorption of one institution by another, and graduates of even the smallest college rise in protest at the mere suggestion. In the Indiana case, State and and each have, and each has a devoted hound of alumni who will probably be heard from before the question is ultimately settled.

Absolute Prohibition is Established in Northern Island
ICELAND IS DRY NOW
from the ice, a few months Russia has come dry, and now Iceland follows her example. Not content with prohibiting the liquor traffic, Iceland has ordered all the liquor now within her boundaries to be promptly exported. It may be merely a coincidence that Iceland enjoys the benefits of woman suffrage; the cable details are meagre as yet.

Cracked Bottle With Host
It is a pity that the first Lord Dufferin could not have lived to read this bit of news he would have done with nothing else to convince him that this is a world of change. It was in 1856 that he visited Iceland and bore admiring testimony to the social customs which made essential a vast capacity and a strong head. A social visit, he informed an appreciative world by saying, "I deduced the "cracking of a bottle" with the host, and to refuse it was as unpleasant an offense as to refuse to shake hands. A beaker was "considered the fittest token a lady could present to her true love." It was the duty of the ladies of the land to supply. Breakfast involved gibbonation, repeated immediately afterward.
Guest Must Drain Flask
GUEST MUST DRINK
One of his companions "put up" for the night at a farmhouse. His hostess escorted him to his room and put a family bottle under the pillow; by that time he was well enough acquainted with the customs of the country to understand that it was expected to be empty by morning, or he would have affronted his kindly entertainers.
Lord Dufferin relates how he dined at the Governor's house, "though dinner is too modest a term to apply to the entertainment." He had come heroically prepared, he says, to do his part and gratefully acknowledge being under the table instead of sitting at it; but "at the rate we were going it seemed probable that this consummation would take place before the second course."
Yet he was able to make a speech; and he made three, one in French, one in English, and one in Latin, in response to toasts given in those languages. He has preserved his Latin speech, which could only have been given under special inspiration. It contained such able manipulations of language as "Haustum longum, haustum fortem, et haustum滞，and a pull (a long pull, a staff and a pull, and a pull tautature totum orbmut facit consanguineum," (one touch of nature makes the whole world kin.)
Times have changed since Lord Dufferin's day. Manners have softened. Recent visitors have seen no such ground and lofty drinking as made up the chief joy of the inhabitants then. And now Iceland has reformed altogether; so great is her distaste for the beverages that I cannot even give to West Virginia's cannot even give the dealers a chance to dispose of their stock. She pitches the Rum Devil off the island, neck and crop. At the rate he is going will soon have nowhere in this broad world a rest for the sole of his foot.
PLAY ONE GAME, 10 YEARS
Cribble Contest Started in 1904 to End Soon
The longest cribbage game in the history of the United States will be finished some time this year. The players live in Des Moines, Ina., and the game started in 1904 for 1,000-000 points. The players are four retired business men who meen to last once a week. One of the singular features of this game is that not one of the contestants has held a 29 hand, the highest possible one to be held in the game. All are on their last 100-000 points.

Says:
There is some style for every man but all styles are not for all men. The correct dresser is he who recognizes what's what in personal expression and taps his clothes to his type—adapting his attire to his own individuality rather than adapting his individuality to ready-made apparel.
