Coachs of Kansas and Haskell Are Anxious That Teams Shall Meet
RED CROSS RECEIVES BENEFIT
Proceeds Will go to the America Society if Arrangements Are Made
An exhibition game between Kansas and the Haskell Indians will be played in Kansas City this season for the benefit of the American Red Cross Society if satisfactory arrangements can be made by the suggestion to Coach "ennedy last night and Kennedy favored the proposition.
"I do not know whether it will be possible to play the game or not, but 1 am decidedly in favor of it." Kennedy said this afternoon. "The Missouri Valley conference rules hold Kansas Valley in the game and provides a game in Kansas City, but arrangement may be made to make the game possible.
"Haskell will be ready in two days' notice," Kennedy added. "We can play the game any week, probably some Wednesday so it will not interfere with the regular schedules."
TO ORGANIZE FIRE BRIGADE
Students Will Compose New Company, Which is to Have Modern Quarters on Hill
The Board of Administration and John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, are working on plans by which a private fire department for the University will be organized, either in one of the old buildings or in an especially constructed fire station. Students will be equipped with firefighting equipment will be in the building. The station will be equipped with a light and substantial apparatus for handling all outbreaks of fires.
At the present time, the only special equipment for fire fighting on the Hill is the light hose on reels in corners of the buildings. Owing to the high pressure which the University water plant furnishes, these are nominally secure, but an organized fire-department, with a force of five or six men is desired.

No student will be so small or unimportant as not to have his picture at least in the class group while those who distinguish themselves will be given a more important place.
The names of the Jayhawker Board will be announced tomorrow.
Gymnasium credits will not be given this year to students who have checked out suits for outdoor sports unless such suits are used regularly. This was the information given out at the office of Manager W. O. Hamilton, this morning. Eighty football suits have been checked out while only thirty have been appearing for work.

KESTER TELLS OF DUM DUMS
Physics Professor Says Mysterious Agents of Destruction Are Simple and Easy to Make
Dum dum bullets, those mysterious and terrible agents of destruction, are really quite simple and easy to make, according to Prof. F. E. Kester of the department of physics. The ordinary cartridge with a softened rubber coat forms in two places, forming a cross. It is then pressed back into shape, so that it will fit into the gun. The weakening of the nose, together with the softness of the material, causes the bullet to spread more readily than a hardbullet. The result is the tearing of the flesh and an extremely dangerous wound.
The bullets may be fixed in the field, and as another who has been there expresses it. "It certainly is a great temptation to use them. When he sees a man washing toward him, he wants to fix" him then and there."
ROPHIES OF LAST YEARS

The Dean mentioned the fact that at present there are 3000 university graduates of country of origin from engineering engineers, who are doing practical social settlement work in the larger cities.

Lauds City Manager Plan
To manage a city efficiently requires a special education, experience and fitness. There is no business which demands more careful mannone more subject to criticism, argument than that of a city, and which the keynote in an address by Kenyon Riddle, city manager of Abilene.
In Abilene from 1869 to 1910 the government was made up of mayor and council, composed of eight men. "It is only necessary to examine past office records and land marks of ignorance to show conclusively that this system was a competent farce," said Mr. Riddle.
"Office records display exhortant prices paid for maintenance and new improvements, all due to a lack of expertise, a gross presence of politics with its favoritism, and the fear of office holders to do things right lest they displease some influential member of a political machine.
"The land marks of ignorance show things have been done by 'hunches' rather than by expert theory and practice, and a desire of the council to counteract attempts to do things without the assistance of a professional advisor.
In 1910 the commission form of government was installed in Ablene. "Instantly the town was revived," continued Mr. Riddle. "The civil war among citizens ceased and there was time to look around and see that the town was in need of improvements. A city engineer was employed. He was given full supervisory power in newly constructed work, and during the following year 65,000 square yards of pavement were laid, and several sewer and water lines extensions made.
"But still the commissioners had not gone far enough. All other utilities such as water works, sewer system, and street department, were still under the supervision of the commissioner of street and alleys, a successful man in his particular line of work, who directed the operation therefore totally incapable of supervising and managing the work of his lepartment."
Tells of Abilene Form
This commissioner was paid $22 a month for his work. "Suppose he were competent to manage such class of work, would it be expected of him to do so on this salary?" asked Mr. Riddle. "It is absurd to argue that any town large enough to be incorporated has not enough duties to keep one man, a professional in civic matters, busy."
The simplicity and harmony which accompanied the new construction work led the governing body to think that all the city's business should be done along the same lines, and in the spring of 1912 they gave their city engineer supervisory power over all things pertaining to engineering.
Engineer Makes Report
The city engineer of Abilene is required to submit reports on past and future work, give the contemplated costs and probable benefits on proposed work, and the actual expenditures and benefits derived from compulsory work. It is also required to attend meetings of engineers, consultants so as to advise them on any actions of an engineering nature and which are out of their line and experience.
To prove the economy of the commission-manager plan Mr. Riddle cited the savings accomplished in Ablene during the past sixteen months. In sewer work the savings totaled $1,268.39; in water main ex-
