GAS MAIN IS DEVOURED
BY SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE
What goes under ground and chews holes in gas pipes to the dishay of the gas company and the helpless indignation of the house-
Lack of pressure in North Lawrence brought a protest to the Citizens' Gas Company, and when the mains, located in the alley between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets, were examined they were found to have a filligree effect. Electrolysis gets the credit. The office of the Journal-World is located beside the alley, and the current from there has been carried through brick and earth to the attractive interior, and its attention. The power of the press is found to be greater than even its most enthusiastic champions have hitherto guessed.
Certain types of soil are very

"The Kansas Normal's, the College of Emporia, the Warrensburg Normal's and William Jewell are all after a game next year," said Manager W. O. Hamilton. "We can play only two games with these smaller schools, so two of the teams are bound to be disappointed." Manager Hamilton said that arrangements for the two opening games probably would be made this week so that the complete schedule may be filled.
The remainder of the schedule is as follows:
Oct. 16—Drake at Lawrence
Oct. 23—Argies at Manhattan
Oct. 30—Oklahan at Norman
Nov. 6—Washburn at Lawrence
Nov. 13—Nebraska at Lawrence
Nov. 20—Missouri at Columbia

White, during his talk, brought in several features of Herman's work as a teacher. He has visited Madras, India. He is not only the second at that place but is a United States
The war, instead of diminishing the importance of "Dad" Herman's Y. M. C. A. work, has increased it, said Harry White, of India, at a meeting of the Mott campaign committee last evening.
Prof. E. F. Dickinson, of the mining department will talk on "The Menominee Iron Range" to the Geology and Mining Clubs, tomorrow after a week of touring clubs. Professor Dickinson had twenty years of experience in iron mining and spent several years work of mines in this range.

HOLIDAY REGULATION MAY GIVE THANKSGIVING GAMI
Inconsistency of Conference Ruling May Allow Big Game After Useful Season
Usual Season
The inconsistency of the ruling that prohibits a football game on Thanksgiving day because it is a holiday and allows a track meet on Memorial day, is expected to result in the abolition of the present ban on Thanksgiving day football games in the Missouri Valley Conference.
At last week's meeting of the Conference in Lincoln the faculty members recommended that the Governing Board which meets in January take some action towards rescinding the ruling.
Those who worked for the return of the Missouri game to Kansas City last year are hoping that the abolition of the Thanksgiving rule will be the first step towards getting the game returned to Kansas City.

FINE ARTISTS TEACH
AFTER LEAVING KANSAS
Two-thirds of the graduates of the School of Fine Arts take up music as a profession, according to Dean S. J. Skilton. The majority of these are teaching in schools over the country, especially in western and middle western states'; Miss Cora S. Reynolds, instructor in voice in the University of Kansas is a graduate of the School of Fine Arts.
Four concert pianists who have achieved national fame have been turned out by this school. Probably the best known of these is John Manning, formerly of Boston, now of San Francisco. Harold Henry and Genevieve Chagas of Chicago and Genevieve Lichtenwalter of Kansas City are also notably successful.
Mildred Hazelridge, a graduate of the organ department, is now organist of the First Christian church of Topeka. Miss Hazelrigel recently is an assistant organist of the Brick Presbyterian church of New York.
HOW MUCH WATER IN POTTER?
Is There Enough to Put Out a Fire on the Hill?
How much water does Potter Lake contain? If a fire should break out on the Hill there is no water to fight it with except that in the Lake. What kind of whether this supply is adequate enough to put out much of a blaze.
Just to make sure about the University's fire protection, Prof. W. C.McNown is making soundings of the Lake. His work will determine how much water is in the Lake. The water can be forced to all the water in the lake by the pump house north of the Lake and there would be no danger from fire if there was sufficient water. At present the Lake is low.
NEBRASKA GAME NETS K. U.
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
Football games pay even if they are played away from home and the team gets beat 35-0. A check for the Kanaas share of the receipts of the ball was received yesterday. The check called for nearly five thousand dollars and this with a small amount previously received brings the K. U. receipts well over the five thousand with several hundred dollars to spare.
Although the Nebraska game at Lincoln last year drew a crowd equal in size the proceeds were only about two-thirds as large as this year's. The difference was the price of admission charged, nearly all of the Nebraska seats being sold for two dollars.
The prices for the Nebraska case next fall on Metrolink will be the same as before.
MUSEUM GETS WHITE
GOPHER BY U. S. MAIL
Bacteriologists Receive Oven
White gopher was received by today's mail at the Museum from Leonhard P. Sheldon of Oskaloosa, White gophers as well as other white are albinos and their color is due to the lack of pigment.
An oven for the incubating of disease germs by students in bacteriology was installed in Snow Hall last week. The oven cost $160.
SAY WATER WILL BE BAD FOR THREE DAYS
City Engineer Lays Blame For Irregularity on Broken Well Screen
The supply of water from the new well of the Lawrence Water Company will be irregular for the next three days, according to E. H. Dumire, city engineer. The reason for this is the breakage of the screen in the pump from being pumped out of the well. A new screen is now being put in.
The water from this well is pure when first pumped out and any contamination is the result of standing in the open basin or reservoir. The soil is 51 feet deep and ground water from a rock bottom is obtained.
The water supply at the University today has been very irregular, water coming to the laboratories at times, but this is absolutely refusing to come a drop.
The University can get pure water at a moderate cost. In order to demonstrate this the water survey team should plant in the top of Blake Hall. Owing to the low supply of water the plant has not been tried out as yet but the state water survey hopes to out before the Christmas vacation.
out suitably but consumes too much water of Lawrence its bad appearance is iron rust that is in the wells and by means of the filtering plant it can be filtered into a lime and then filtering the water: The plant in Blake Hall has a capacity of 6,000 gallons per day. It has been a perplexing problem to install the plant as it weighs several tons. It was first planned to put in in the tiny building Building h it was feared that the floors would not support the weight.
Lawrence could install a plant for $200 and at a cost of $7 per million gallons supply its citizens with pure water, according to the survey.
NO CAUSE FOR WORRY
ABOUT BASKETBALL GAMES
Students Will Get Full Quota of Ten Games Promised on Student Tickets
Those excitable persons who became alarmed after reading in last night's Daily Kansan that only six basketball games would be played in the league by the only Jayhawker five can now get comfortably settled again.
"At least four games on our home court will be scheduled to fill out the schedule to give the holders of the students tickets their full quota of ten basketball games," said Manager W. O. Hamilton this morning. There will be no difficulty in taking the Emira Normals, the Emoria Normals, the Warensburg Normals, the College of Emporia, and the Iris Club of Kansas City all want to be the opponents of the Crimson and Blue five.
Manager Hamilton is planning for an exhibition game between the Varsity and freshmen the early part of next week to show the rooters just what kind of a team they will be. All you need every night by the two teams in the Gym, to which every student is invited.
