UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SCALES HOLD OUT IN ONE K. U. DEPARTMENT Big Scales and Little Scales, Find Scales and Coarse Scales Find Place The department of weights and measures has a delicate little balance exactly like the one used by the Bureau of Standards at Washington. This balance is so sensitive as to be difficult to read, and an endth part of a gram. At the Bureau of Standards such scales are used in assay work with gold and silver. Prof. E. P. Stimpson, of the department of physics, uses the same balance here for the correction of errors in weighing scales as these are turned out by the G. P. Keller company of Salt Lake City and are the finest of their kind Another interesting instrument owned by this department is a somewhat larger balance made by Paul Bunge, of Hamburg, Germany. Bunge is the most noted maker of scales now living. This scale is able to detect a difference of one ten-millionth part in weights of two pounds. It could be applied to a carload of wheat the amount of wheat in the car could be estimated with an error of not more than a half of a tacup fei. This scale is a remarkably handson instrument and shows the loving care of the hand of a master workman. The balance presented to the State of Kansas by the United States government is also a part of the equipment of the department of weights and measures. It is hung on a somewhat ponderous pillar of brass stamped with the American eagle. Such scales as these were presented to every state of the Union by an act of Congress in 1868. Aside from the instruments here mentioned the department has also weights and scales for every imaginable purpose. We are laying aside now Christmas cigars. Leave your order at Carroll's.—Adv.

INTER-CLASS GAMES TO BE LIKE VARSITY Saturday Afternoon Contests Will be Characterized by Hard Fighting There is going to be two real football games on McCook Field next Saturday afternoon when the four teams in the interclass football league will divide who will battle for the supremacy and who will be the following Wednesday afternoon. Everything will be done to make the games Saturday as much like a Varsity game as possible. No one but players will be allowed on the field and the officials will run the games in regular season style. It would be a good idea. Manager Hamilton believes, for the classes whose teams do not gain the championship to get together and vote their players numeral sweaters or jerseys. Manager W. O. Hamilton said this morning that fifteen men on the championship eleven will be awarded sweaters with the class numerals on them by the Athletic Association. In the past this has been left to the classes with the result that the football team stuffing but a bunch of bruises and the feed given them by the Athletic Association. The players work hard and put in a lot of valuable time during the three weeks of the interclass season. Even if they don't win the championship they are entitled to their prize, their teammates are at least give them a sweeter to wear them on, Manager Hamilton believes. Manager Hamilton is urging that each class get some organization for the games Saturday and have some rooters and a cheer leader to root down to victory. It would add a great deal to the interest of the games. Despite the muddy field of the last two days, each class had more than enough men out to make a complete eleven. This manager Hamilton believes is the best indication that men need really hard to have successful teams and should have the support of their classes. BE CAREFUL OF OVER HEATING YOUR STOVE With the coming of colder weather University students should be more careful with the heat they use in their rooms. According to a pamphlet issued by the fire marshal of Kansas, most fires are caused by carelessness. The stoves or furnaces should not be allowed to become hot enough to cause a home does not catch fire as often as the home kept in an untidy condition, with an accumulation of traslying about. Defective stoves, boilers, furnaces, pipes, and chimneys should be careful at heat storage. One should be careful of overheating stoves, boilers, furnaces and pipes. ILLINOIS WOMEN TAG MEN FOR RELIEF OF BELGIANS Cheap at a dollar! often do both. With this as their slogan, the women of the University of Illinois began a tag day campaign this week for the benefit of the Belgian sufferers. Ten thousand tags were prepared and the enthusiastic women at Illinois fully expect to get rid of all of them, at a dollar a tag. A collection of old clothing for the Belgian unfortunates who have arrived in England is also meeting with hearty response.
