KANSAS ROOTERS

"MAKE WORDS WHILE SUN SHINES"-DR.GOETZ Harvest Logic Good at K.U.
"Students should try to do all of their writing in the daytime," says Dr. Alice L. Goetz, of the department of physical education. "It is almost impossible to arrange a light so that it shines over the left shoulder, and to write under any other circumstances is injurious to health." The position in nursing is also of greatest importance. When the head is bent, the blood is prevented from circulating freely and congestion results, causing bloodshot eyes."
Recent experiments show that a yellowish light, such as that from a coal oil lamp, or a greenish light, is the easiest on the eyes. Green lights are used everywhere in the government offices in Washington.
According to Doctor Goetz, the kind of light is of less importance than the direction from which it comes. People who claim that gas light gives them a headache, are probably suffering from congestion, or from a glare of light reflected from the page.
Amber lenses are beneficial for those who cannot stand the brilliancy of western sunlight. A shade almost too light to be perceptible will often relieve eye strain to a surprising extent.
Students who use these lenses, do all their writing in the day time and always read with the light coming over the shoulder, stand a good chance to escape eye strain and its attendant evils.
MAKE COLLEGE MEN USEFUL
Organization Seeks to Interest Graduates in Social Work
To make the college man useful to the community in which he settles and to the country at large is the purpose of a new intercollegiate organization formed by university graduates in New York, Boston and Chicago, and which threats to spread over the entire United States. The work of the organization consists in getting the names of the college graduates and in them getting in touch with them when they have finished their vacations and settled down; in finding opportunities for them to do some civic work, such as fostering good government clubs and the inhabitants of the slums, teaching English and science to foreigners, organizing neighborhood dramatic clubs, and boys' athletic associations.
The organization is self perpetuating, the older university men going out and giving way to younger graduates every year. Its principle is that the college man, after receiving four years' training, owes the community a duty to improve it, to give back in fostering better citizenship what he has received in enlightenment.

"SEND IN AN ORDINANCE TO PUT DOWN GAMBLING"
This is a Problem One Kansas Town Asks Museum Reference Bureau
to Solve
"Send us an ordinance for the suppression of gambling," wrote one Kansas town to the Municipal Reference Bureau of the University of Kansas. The sample of the 483 towns which came to the Bureau within the past year.
Nearly every phase of municipal legislation and administration is touched upon by inquiries from Kansas cities and towns. Commission form of city government, the city manager plan, municipal electric lights, municipal waterworks, and questions relating to the construction side of the subjects the council has mainly inquired about. The total number of subjects treated by the Bureau was 130 during the twelve months.
Each inquiry makes a special report necessary. The mere sending of books and pamphlets in answer to most of the questions submitted by itself is not sufficient. Personal replies are in almost every instance sent out by the Bureau.
Seventy-eight requests for legal information have been answered by the Bureau, and 28 ordinances drafted.
Four times during the year the Bureau, in answer to technical electrical engineering inquiries, made arrangements for Prof. George C. Shaad, head of the department of electric engineering at the town to visit the towns and assist them in the solution of their problems.
WAR HAS EFFECT ON RUSSIA
Profound Changes Will Come Regardless of the Outcome
"Whatever may be the outcome of the war elsewhere and in other respects, so much is certain, that it must produce in Russia the most profound changes that that empire has known for at least half a century; and it will do that regardless of the generosity of the people. It course pursued by the Russian Government itself," according to an article, "Will Russia Make Good?" in the October number of the North American Review.
"This is the dominant factor of the problem, that Russia has promised, substantially, self-government for Poland, and inferentially, if not specifically, for Finland also, and equal rights with all other subjects for the Jews. The fulfilment of these promises will, or would, mean radical and momentous the status of a large part of the Russian people in the institution of the Empire, and in the relations between Russia and other nations, particularly with the United States. The non-fulfillment of them would mean a scarcely less radical and momentous crisis in Russian affairs, at home and abroad. The question is, Will they be fulfilled? In the tense phrase of the Man in the Street, Will Russia make good?"

PIONEER IN STATE SERVICE
Kansas First to Link State Work With University, Says Street
The idea of linking up the state University with the practical life of the people of the state did not originate in Wisconsin but in Kansas, according to Julian Street in an article in the current issue of *Collegia* Weekly under the heading "Kansas—Signs Fail." Mr. Street visited Kansas last spring, working up one of a series of articles, "Abroad at Home."
"For example, no municipality in Kansas may install a water supply, waterworks, or sewage plant without obtaining from the University sanction of the arrangements proposed. The dean of the University School of Medicine, Dr. S. J. Crumbine, is also secretary of the State Board of Health. It was soon announced that agitation against the concession drinking cup, the roller tunnel, etc., and he succeeded in having a law passed by the state legislature in Kansas abolishing these. He also accomplished the passage of a law providing for the inspection of hotels, each requiring, among other things, ten-foot sheets. All water analysis for the state is done at the University, as well as for drugs, etc., connection work is utilized in a practical way in connection with this state service, wherever possible.
"Much has been heard, in the last few years, of the "Wisconsin idea," says Mr. Street. "This idea did not originate in Wisconsin, however, but in Kansas, where as long ago as 1868 a law was passed making the chancellor of the University State School of Weights and Measures. Since that time commission between the great educational institution has continued to grow, until now the two are bound together by an infinite number of ties.
‘Passing through the laboratories, I saw many examples of this activity and was shown quantities of samples of food, beverages, and patient medicines, which had failed comply with the requirement of law. There was a medical official cider made from alcohol and coal-tar an patent medicine called ‘Spurmax’ sold for fifty-cents per package, yet containing nothing but colored Epsom salts; another patent medicine sold at the same price, containing the same material plus a little borax; bottles of ‘Silver Top’ a beer substitute, designed the prohibition law against bottle with sily labels, looking exactly alike, but examination proved, in some cases, to have mysteriously dropped the first two letters in the word ‘unfermented.’
"All sorts of things were being analyzed; paints were being investigated for adulteration, shoes were being examined to see that they conformed to the Kansas 'pure-shoe law,' which requires that shoes containing substitutes for leather be stamped to indicate that fact.
"The same department of the University is engaged in showing different Kansas towns to how soften their water supply; efforts are also being made to make the flood of the Yucca plant a weed which the farmers of Western Kansas have been trying to get rid of—so that it may be utilized for making rope. The Kansas state flower is also being planted with amumflower oil, which in Russia, is burned in lamps, and which Kansas already uses to some extent, as a salal dressing and also as a substitute for linseed oil."
