Judges from the faculty of the department of journalism this afternoon announced the October winners of the Daily Kansas's monthly prizes for its high school correspondents. Harold Boher, Junction City will receive the first award of five dollars Second and third prizes of three and four dollars reporter during the month, go to Herbert Schall, Dodge City and Mary L. Dilley, Alma. Ten students were given honorable mention.
"It was no easy task to select thirteen from more than one hundred reporters for this special recognition," said Prof. Merle Thorpe, head of the department of journalism, in announcing the winners. "We found that a majority of the reporters were representing their institutions with deserving of high praise for their accurate statements of news affairs at their institutions.
"These awards will be offered each month, declared Richard Gardner, Kansan Editor, and daily opportunity is thus offered to those whose names were not mentioned for October to win some later prize. To assist these, the following suggestions might be offered: "Be accurate and fair in your stories, and in original stories, telling of unique features that happen at your school. Watch the column to learn what other schools are doing, and to find what kind of stories you would like to write for similar or better stories in your own district. Owing to the limited amount of space, the Daily Kansan is unable to use all the news that is sent in, but the reporters that are written in stories of events in their schools immediately after they happen win better representation for their institution than those who limit themselves to a short weekly letter."

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
RECORDED HEFE
The University Seismograph Shows Violent Tremors From Indies
The biggest earthquake for months was registered on the seismograph machine in Prof. H. P. Cady's office this morning at 1:47. It is probably located in or about the West Indies. From the record of the machine it was, two thousand miles and coming from the southeast or from the northwest.
The machine has been active this year in registering light shocks but for many months it has not been successful in recording an earth quake of this size. The tremor of the machine lasted a week, and the transmission from a straight line was so slight that it is probable the jar was not enough to cause much damage.
The earthquake was not unexpected.
After the returns of the election were received yesterday. Professor Cady advised a student who takes the weather for him to watch for an earthquake. The professor's prediction was based on the fact that after the last democratie land slide, seismographs all over the world recorded a slight tremor.
Richard F. Heworth, a senior Law,
has returned from Burlingame, where
he made a political Speech Monday
night.
Many resources of Kansas have been developed as a result of the geological survey of the coal, lead, zinc, oil, gas, building stone and clays of the state conducted by the University.
Much has been saved to the people of Kansas through the University's work in the inspection of weights and measures.

GRADUATE FIGHTS IN GRECIAN WAR
Boris J. Patchejeiff, A. B.,B.S Who Graduated in '10 Mixing in Scrap
Boris J. Patcheijlev, a graduate of Kansas University of the class of 1910 is now in the heart of the Balkan States-Turkish war. He is a native of Bulgaria and an officer in the Bulgarian army.
Patchejieh received the degrees of A. B. and B. S. in 1910 and is remembered by many students and professors as a hard worker and good student. He was born in Sophia, Bulgaria in 1886. His father was a business man and high politician of that country. Boris J. was graduated in 1903 from the Sophia government gymnasium, which corresponds to the American High School or Academy. He came to this country in 1904 without having served the required three years in the army.
Soon after coming to this country he entered the University of Kansas. Chemistry and Mining engineering were his specialties. After his graduation in 1910 he returned to Bulgaria and was immediately drafted into the army.
Professor Haworth, under whom Patchejieh took a great deal of work is confident that "he is in the thickest of himself, giving a good account of himself, too."
The orchard pests of Kansas must reckon with one powerful enemy in planning a campaign against the orchard crops of Kansas farmers—that enemy is the entomological department of the University. One half of the state is constantly under the inspection and supervision of University entomologists.
Physicians of - Kansas have the benefit of the bacteriological and chemical analyses made upon request in the University laboratories in cases of cancer disease, typhoid, hydrophobia, etc.
Full utilization of school property and the development of the civic center plan are among the things brought to the attention of the state by the Extension Division of the University.

TO SHOW VALUABLE EXHIPIT OF PRINTS
Art Department Obtains Loan of Drawings From Congressional Library
"The collection is extremely valuable," said Prof. W. A. Griffith this morning. "Many of the prints are valued at more than a hundred dollars each. There are 38 drawings by Helen Hyde, one of the best known artists of this character.
A large collection of valuable prints will be on exhibition in the art department on the third floor of the Administration building tomorrow. The collection is loaned to the University by the Congressional Library. The prints are the original copies, left with the government to obtain a copyright.
Such a zoological collection is in the University too. Here we find a Badger, a Baer, a Buck, a Hart, and a Fox, while in the feathered kingdom
"The exhibition will be open all week, free of charge, and I hope that the students will take advantage of the opportunity and see the collection. It is very unusual for the Government to put these collections upon exhibition."
THE SMITH A MIGHTY MAN IS HE, ON K.U.Y'S CAMPUS
The Smiths win.
HREE K. U. GRADS GO TO CONGRESS
Will Represent Kansas Districts in Lower House
According to the new student directory which will be distributed monday, they score thirty-five times to the even twenty tallied by the Brown's, their nearest rivals—and thirty-five, too, without counting the two young ladies who wear their surnames in stylish cut and spell it Symth, or the one good old-fashioned Schmidt. The Johnson's, with eighten, win third place; while the Miller and Davis families, sixteen and fifteen strong respectively, contend for the next rank. Our familiar friends, the Jones, fall far behind with seven. We can't dispoint their adherents accustomed to see them rank much higher up.
Complete election returns show that three Kansas University men were elected to Congress from Kansas.
Guy T. Helvering won in the Fifth District, Dudley Doolittle, Law, '08 won in the Fourth District, and George O'Neill, Law '04 won in the Seventh District.
Mr. Neeley's opponent in the Seventh District was Gordon L. Finley another Graduate Law '93. All three successful candidates are Democrats.

The Rhetoric I class might phrase it thus;
Summers and Winters the Moon Rose over the Black Moores of Birch Bushes and Sage Brush and the Green Meadows. In the Pond in the Park Darts after the Hook, and small boys Wade along the Bank and Beaches.
For football material a Bracewell and a Ketchum should be valuable on the defensive, and both are in school. The various trades are well represented in the University with many Taylors, Butlers, Carpenters, Stewards, Weavers. The Bakers may not be cousins of the Cooks, but there is surely some relationship between them and the Bunn.
Perhaps the name Dimmitt were better omitted. It sounds so shockingly like profanity.
A NEW BUILDING PROJECT STARTED
Dean Johnson Will Ask Alum ni for New Home for Teachers.
MAKES REQUEST AT TOPEKA
K. U. Grads Will Hear his Plea for Model School of Education at Banquet Tonight.
The necessity of a building for the School of education will be one of the important announcements made at the K. U. Alumni Banquet at the State Teachers' Association in Topeka tonight by Dean Charles H. Johnston of the School of Education.
That at present the equipment of the school of Education is inadequate and Kansas should have a modern building to train teachers for the schools over the state is the opinion of Dean Johnston.
Demand is Great.
“Besides observation and practice in existing high schools,” says Dean Johnston. “we are thoroughly persuaded that the best interests of education demand that a practice or model school of both elementary and high school grades be established at the University of Kansas.” Such a school should be housed in a new, thoroughly equipped building. This building should be a model for the state in construction, arrangement, decoration, furniture, lighting, heating and ventilation. As much attention should be given to these mat-
Fire proof construction should be used and certain parts of the building should be left exposed in such a way that superintendents, architects, and boards of education may study the method of building. This school should be equipped with the best applicances for teaching possible to procure, books, pictures maps, models, laboratory apparatus, shop equipment in both wood and iron, gardens gymnasium and playground.
To a perfect equipment should then be added expert teachers thoroughly trained and experienced, each in his own speciality. Such a school should be a model for the state, a mecca where our superintendents, principals, teachers and boards of education might go to observe the best which this great educational state could produce. As a model school it would be an ideal school for observation on the part of university students of education.
Opportunity for Students.
"It would also offer these students an opportunity to begin their teaching under close critical supervision. This is necessary, for to-day people are beginning to realize that teachers should have the knowledge of their subject, must know how to impart it to others."
In equipment Kansas University is far behind other Universities which have Educational Schools, declares Dean Johnston. Those universities which already have buildings, for their schools of education are: Columbia, Chicago, Brown, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska, Texas. At present buildings were built over 4,000 each at the universities of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Illinois etc.

JAYHAWKER LINE STILL A PROBLEM
Coaches Are in Doubt as to Who Will Fill Positions
END POSITION CAUSES WORRY
No Real Star in Line—Back Field Positions Practically Cinched—Hospital Squad Back.
Who will be the Jayahawker regulars in the line? This is the question which is causing the greatest worry in the minds of the Kansas Coaches. With but a little over a week before the Cornhuskier contest, the mystery still remains as to who will face the husky Nebraska Stone Wall, as they term their line.
In the back field the situation has narrowed down to practically three sets of men. At quarter, Magill has cinched the place and with Wilson as substitute, no attention need be paid to that position. At half back, Coach Mosse has a squad of men who, though not exceptionally heavy, are yet fast and shifty. At one half, Parker, Rhine and Martin are holding down the position, and at the other, fellow Mossle, Coidge and Price are being used. The full bull position is divided between Steweu, Miller and Jackson, the sensational new recruit.
Line is a Problem.
In the line no man has yet shown up, who will tower head and shoulders above the rest. Weldine has been playing a fine offensive and defensive game and may by the time of the Nebraska game step into the lime light. At center the position rests between Helvern and Milton. Milton seems to be better of the two men at defensive work, as shown by his playing in the Oklahoma and Aggie game. On the other hand, Helvern leads Milton as a heady offensive player. One of these men may improve his weak playing and finally beat the other out of the position. As the situation now stands, Helvern has slightly the edge on Milton.
At guard, the struggle rests between Groft, Tudor, Lynch and Hatcher. Thd tacks rest between Weilname, Keeling, Weidemann and Burnham. The ends seem the hardest positions to fill. Captain Brownlee has one of them cinched, but no regular man has yet been found for the other. Bramwell has shown up well at that position but not enough to be a good place. The other alternatives are Daniels and Householder. To win in the future, Kansas must develop *s-me man*, who will be able to play this other position with some consistency.
Back Field Shows Well.
In last night's practice the pack field again showed their ability as ground gainers. Parker, Holliday and Jackson sifted through the Freshman time after time for gains. With the ball in the varsity's possession, the game was nothing but a march down to the goal line. The team showed up exceptionally well at pickling holes and both men bid to develop into valuable back field material.
At holding the Freshmen, the varsity did not show so well. For the first eight downs they piled the tyros up in mid-field, but after that the heavy plowed through Dalton and Bishop, plowed through the varsity line for a touchdown.
On the next play a situation occurred that showed the speed of some of the heavy first year beef. On a freshman fumble, Householder got away for what looked to be a touchdown, but was caught in mid-field by Reber, who, though handicapped by a twenty start, easily overtook him.
Every possible shift was made in the line, and every varsity recruit was given a chance. To use Coach Frank's words, "It's your last chance now show what you can do." Milton was given a try for end, and may be used at that place in some of the games if he shows up well in the next few days. The rest of the men were for the most part used in their regular places.
Martin and Hatcher were both out last night. Hatcher took part in the scrimmage, but neither can be used in Saturday's game.
