Special to the Daily Kansan.
Learn How To Wash Fabrics, Facts Concerning Dyes, Starch, And Equipment of Plant.
Topeka, Jan. 30.-Senator B. Willson of the Second District introduced a resolution this morning providing an amendment to the state constitution to proide a permanent income for the state University by an annual levy of one-third of a mill against all taxable property in the state.
The resolution, if advanced by the legislature, will be submitted to the people of the state at the next election and if carried at the polls will go into effect immediately. By the provisions of the proposed amendment the University of Kansas will receive an annual income independent of the state legislature, which at present votes appropriation for all state institutions every two years.
The resolution was advanced to consideration today by the senate. It will be voted on together with the other proposed amendments to the constitution by a special senate order.
The laundering of colored clothes, woolens, laces and embroideries, each done on different days constitutes the practical aspect of the last work of the course in Textiles now given under Miss Elizabeth Newell.
DISSECT LAUNDERING ART
IN COURSE ON TEXTILES
Before washing the colored clothes, the class studies setting of dyes, the kinds of starch to use for different materials, and how to soften water. An ideal home laundry and its equipment was a part of Friday's class work. A south front was given preference; tubs, machines, stoves were placed for convenience, and a receptacle on wheels for pushing clothes from stove to tub and elsewhere had a place in the diagram of one of the students.
Woolen goods in the shape of sweaters were laundered, while the last two laboratory periods will be devoted to laces and embroideries.

Little Helen Skilton Seriously Ill. Dean Skilton, of the School of Fine Arts, was called to Kansas City yesterday by the serious condition of his little daughter, Helen, who is ill at the Rosedale hospital.
O PLEASE, MISTER,
RETURN MY PICTURE
K. U. Co-ed, Caught by Jayhawker Kodak, Doesn't Like it and Offers Money for its Suppression.
Great are the temptations besetting the path of R. G. Allison, editor-in-chief of the 1913 Jayhawker. Plenty of snap shots, so the critics say, is a feature that makes the year book one that gives a true picture of University life, showing you and the other fellow, or, maybe, and the other fellow's sister in a favorite haunt.
And this aforesaid editor-in-chief has a bunch of kodak feuds, always on the alert, waiting to snap you at the psychological moment. They are plain clothes men and an overcoat or a mackinaw easily conceals the little box containing the lettuce and the eggplant to go coptes, but what about temptations?
Well, recently the object of one of these shots, a co-ed, and she was not alone, did not appreciate the joke. At her first opportunity she pleaded with the man of the veto power. No, he said, it was too good to suppress. Five dollars she offered but he would not budge. Later, she called Bell 297. Ten dollars was her bid, but the picture belongs to the senior class. It must adorn the 1913 Jayawaker.
COLLEGE DEFEATS
HASKELL REDSKINS
Jayhawkers Win by a One Point Margin-Score
29 to 25
In a rough, fast contest last night in the Haskell gymnasium the College team finally nosed the Indians out of their lead and won 26 to 25. The game was closely contested all the way and the winner was in doubt up to the last few minutes.
Frequent fouling somewhat slowed up the game and kept both sides from making a large score. Both teams seemed inclined to rough it and if possible the College team had the better of the going. Bill Weidlin, former football player, was in his element and at the last had the Indians dodging when he came their way.
Jamison starred for the Redskins and Brown, Weidline and Painter played best for the Collegians.

MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WAS LAST THOUGHT
Dr. Simeon Bell Found Strength to Fight Change Before Death
Chancellor Strong received a letter this morning from the late Dr. Simon B. Bell of Rosedale, founder of the Eleanor Taylor Bell Hospital, who died January 16. The letter which, was written a few days before the graduation, up the numbers of moving the Medical School to Topeka It follows in part:
It is with the deepest regret I learn that the Commercial Club of Topoka will ask this legislature to redeem it. School from Rose-Harden to Topoka.
Several years ago, I gave a large portion of my property to the state with the assurance that the school and the hospital would be located on it, there to remain for all time. I did this through a desire to do something to help advance my profession and also that I might erect a living monument to the memory of my wife Eleanor Taylor Bell.
The Chancellor and the Board of Regents of the University assured me that my gifts would be held sacred for the purpose given.
The legislature accepted my property and have sold it and given deeds to it and have taken my money and have spent it, and even though I now be reimbursed, to take it will be a great disappointment to me—a complete shattering of my early, and lifelong ambition—and, coming as it did, a big failure. A major part of life, with my body feele, and my mind having lost largely of its former power of concentration—I feel it as a great blow.
Knowing that I am nearing the other side, I earnestly ask that the legislature of 1918 finally and for all time to come to settle the question of the location of the Medical School that I may, with an unshaken faith in the people of my state, die in peace. And as my last request. I ask that the appropriation for the Medical School this year be granted.
The date for the annual art exhibit has been set for February 10 to March 30.
ART EXHIBIT TO HAVE

WANTED-CO-ED WIFE

Lonely Bachelor Makes Pathetic Appeal for University Helpmate—D. S. Expert Preferred.
"For everybody that's lonely,
there's a girl that's lonely too."
This beautiful sentiment was on a post card, depicting a young man sad and forlorn in the midst of luxury, received by Registrar G. O. Foster this morning. The card was addressed to "University Girls, Larance, Kas," and came all the way from Max, Nebr.
Enclosed with the card in an envelope was a clipping from some newspaper telling of the seven University of Kansas girls, who dreading a single life, were anxious to find some bachelor companion heart, and to learn how to appeal of the Short Grass Bachelors' Club at Scotton. Kansas.
The following was the pathetic appeal on the card:
"Iinclosed find clipping. I am one of the same kind in the short grass country trying to farm and batch.
It explains. Address Box 73, Max, Nebr."
Registrar Foster felt that it would be unfair to turn this offer over to any particular girl or group of girls in the University an equal chance.
For remember, that "For everybody that's lonely, there a girl that's lonely too."
PRICE OF JAYHAWKER SOARS AFTER FRIDAY
Tomorrow the Day When the Unearned Increment Takes Effect
Friday will also be the last day on which Jayhawker tickets can be purchased for $2.50. On Saturday and thereafter the price will be $3.00.
Friday is the last day on which senior pictures will be received at the regular rates. Those coming in after that date will be charged a penalty of ten per cent, and on pictures not in by February 15 the penalty will be twenty per cent. No pictures will be accepted after March 1.
The penalty for senior pictures which come ih late is due to the fact that rush work, both in printing and engraving, costs the management money, and it is necessary that as much as possible be eliminated.

Looks Bad for the Bugs.
Prof. S. J. Hunter, state entomologist, has just received pamphlets from the state printer containing the work of the Kansas State Entomological Commission for 1911 and 1912. The commission's purpose is to combat insects and diseases that affect agriculture and horticulture. So far the appropriations have been sufficient to deal only with the San Jose scale, but the commission hopes to extend the work farther in 1913.
BLUE ROSE DIAMOND GEM OF FIRST WATER
Red Domino Club Presents Best Musical Comedy Ever Produced Here
BOOK AND MUSIC PLEASING
Madeline Nachman and Frank Miller
Handle Leading Roles Well—
Other Parts Deserve Praise
"The Blue Rose Diamond" is undoubtedly the best musical production ever given at the University. There were flaws, to be sure, but the staging of musical comedy is a knotty problem for even professional managers. As a whole the parts were excellently handled, the singing of high quality and the play itself pleasing and melodious.
"The Blue Rose Diamond" is indeed a stone of the first water. The audience that saw the Red Dwarf on the production act the Bowen Dance has had night will also agree that the facets reflected credit upon the authors and the cast and that the mounting would have done credit to Tiffany & Co.
Leading Lady Charming
If any general criticism could be offered it would be on the lack of spontaneous gaiety that is the sine qua non of musical shows. Much of this, however, can be attributed to the nervousness that always goes with first nights and amateur casts.
Madeline Nachtman, as Margaret Van Meter, around whose love affairs the play centers, was charming both in her acting of the role and in the rendition of her songs. Her voice is a clear soprano and she was forced to respond to repeated encores to every number. Frank Miller, who is the dashing, persistent and finally triumphant hero, also scored with his songs and confident lovemaking. "Wear My Ring," sung by him was the best of the many excellent melodies.
The first night audience clearly showed their appreciation of the work of Beulah Dais as Pansy, the maid. She handled her part with a spirit and animation that was in contrast with some other roles, fortunately for her artistic but which served to set off her artistic acting and pignant charm.
They Were Real Funny Emile Grignard and Lawrence Kimear, in the character roles of the French count and English lord, furnished most of the fun of the show by their efforts to win the hand of Margaret. Both had clever makeups and gave a consistent interpretation of their lines. Smoke, the butler, played by Lewis Buxton, was the other comedy part and he got many laughs from the audience.
The title-hunting millionaire was played by Darby James, and his attempt to corral a lord or count for his daughter furnished the motive of the plot. Thomas Hinshaw, as the reporter, and Elise Potwin, as the stalker, fell well. The chorus, composed of 25 boys and girls, sang excellently and with a little more life and "ppp" would have left nothing to be desired.
Much credit is due Leon Howe and Henry Anderson, who wrote the songs and book of the play. The music is full of melody and the lyrics much more in keeping with the action in most plays of the kind. The book, though somewhat hackneyed in its rhymes numerous amusing situations, Howe is also the director of the orchestra.
Songs Proved Hit
Among the best of the songs are "Wear My Ring," "Playing Solitaire," "I'm Looking for a Man Like Father," "The Newspaper Guy," and "When a Girl Loves You."
One of the biggest hits of the performance was the cabaret entertainment introduced at the end of the second act. The black-face quartette and the dance by the unknown "girl in the red domo" were the features. Both deserved their names on the printed program.
The performance will be repeated tonight.
