Mining in England and United States Is Over Developed
Factor
Dean P. F, Walker Believe
Labor Strike Is Due
to This Main
Disease
"Over development means that coineventors operate have made large investments necessary to open shafts and to provide for production which makes it possible to meet the peak demand of the winter season. War time led to the opening of many new mines, especially in the year of 1918.
Short Time Required
"This over developed capacity to produce food is not necessary amount of oil to supply a year' demand can be mined in a small fraction of the year. In those seasons of the year when demand is great producers naturally use their equipment and labor supply at its full power, since they must mine a maximum amount of coal in a short time in order to meet the demand, the product will pay a return on the investment," said Dean Walker.
"The result of this large scale production is that the public learns it can get quick deliveries in a short time, and it saves money and devote all their resources to quick production. The final result is that the public does not equalize its purchases throughout the year but wants them to be priced at fuel becomes acute before buying."
Cost of Coal Increases
Dear Michael, that the result of this report is an increased cost of coal in an increased cost of coal for two reasons:
Firef.² the stated amount of coal produced must yield a return large enough to pay interest on the debt;
Firef.³ too many men are employed to work only a fraction of the year and these men naturally would fight for wages high enough to support them the full wages.
In this country 50 cents on the price of every ton of bituminous coal produced in required to support the surplus of coal from production. This amounts annually to a tax of between $250,000,000 and $300,000,000 on the coal consumed by the state.
**Frame is factor 100.**
"This is not the whole story. The tax does not include the cost of the greater treasury bill and this peak load nor of the other irregularities in production." Dean Walker said.
"This heavy tax could be avoided if the people would equalize their purchase of coal throughout the year instead of waiting until the actual demand exists," Dean Walker added. "While this may be only one of the reasons for the British strike, it is significant to the people of the United States because these very conditions exist in this country today."
Name of Check Stand Has Outlived Function
"Check Stand!" is a familiar name. Nearly every student in the University, and some freshmen, can identify it immediately. Specifically, it refers to the little, inconspicuous alcove above outside the Y. M. C. A. office in Prasen
Every so often one sees a headline something like this: "Candy Sale at 'Check Stand';" "Get Your Oread Magazine at 'Check Stand';" or "Some items at 'Check Stand'." A prominent place, indeed, but why the name?
According to various records in old Kanan files, this is the way it came about. A number of years ago there really was a check stand in Frazer hall. Some responsible student secured the checking conversion from the University authorities and sold them to the person in the semester, entitling them to check their valuables at the stand with the person in charge.
In 1908 the University itself took a hand in the affair, allowing the manager of the stand to hire responsible assistants to look after it. The stand soon ceased to be a paying proposition and the fall of 1911 it was discontinued.
The name of the place has outlived its function.

Speediest Plane Sought
Scientist Believes World Tour in 17 Hours Possible
(Paragraph Number)
New York, May 7—Around the world in 17 hours is the dream of Dr Charles H. T. Townsend, of Iquique, Brazil, writing in the Scientific Attitude of New York this would require speed of 815 miles an hour.
Although such a speed is nearly three times that attained by an airplane, Dr. Townsend does not think it is an impossibility. By studying birds, man has built machines which can fly at high speeds in weights carried, though he cannot equal the best of them in long-distance non-stop flights. If a man is to produce a machine capable of going at this terrife speed a different animal model will have to be studied, and his study may be combined with has studied certain large飞艇 known as Ophiophenie, which can fly over 800 miles an hour. These flies are analogous to a long-flight airplane in that they carry fuel and rations for all the flying they ever do, since they rest during after they reach the adult stage.
Concerns Seek Men Here
Numerous Requests Received at Placement Bureau
"The business placement bureau of the School of Business has had numerous requests from business concerns for college graduates," said J. Wesley Sternberg, associate professor of economics, who has charge of the bureau. The Sternberg's requests from 36 companies representing more than a dozen industries."
About one half of these firms have either sent or will send representatives to the University for personal interviews with the students. The other half of these companies who have employed Kansas University graduates in the last few years, according to Mr. Steinberg. In one case, a company which employed K. U. graduates three years ago came back this year for five men or one woman; the total number of college men that the organization will take this year.
Companies with whom the business placement bureau has established connections include firms in the field of computer telecommunications, telephone, rubber tire, building materials, meat packing, cash register, wholesale hardware and grocery, insurance, credit rating, property valuation in the insurance field, and professional accounting. A majority of the firms are Kansas concerns.
The majority of those securing positions through the bureau will take up their work in June, but arrangements will be made for those who wish to attend summer school to begin their studies at the close of the summer session.

During the last three years, four Kansas-Missouri teams played against Kansas in the last minute of play. An outstanding example of last-minute victory was the Kansas-Missouri football game last November when "Stony" Wall's kick during the last 30 seconds of play gave Kansas the win, and was the baseball game Saturday, May 1, between Kansas and Missouri, when it was necessary to play 11 innings before Kansas broke the tie.

Electricity, which can release power in bureaus, fireplaces, and already created a market for American industry. Wherever mankind likes, General Electric carries loads, drives machinery, supplies labor and time. And there is another development today to make important contributions.
A series of G-OB advertisement showing what electricity is in doing many fields will be asked to answer. Ask for booklet GEK-1.
In a field in sunny Spain stands a stone mortar. Crows hover around it, picking up bits of grain and chaff—cawing.
Here Marcheta, in the fresh beauty of her youth,
will come to pound maize. For years she will pound
maize. The stone will stand up under the blows;
not a dent has the muscle of three generations of
women made upon it. But the crows will hurl their
black gibes upon a woman aging early and bent
with toil. Old Marcheta—still in her thirties.
The American woman does not pound maize. But she still beats carpet; she still pounds clothes; she still pumps water. She exhausts her strength in tasks which electricity can do better, and in half the time.
The high ideals of a community mean little where woman is still doomed to drudgery. But the miracles which electricity already has performed indicate but a fraction of the vast possibilities for better living and the tremendous opportunities which the future developments in electricity will hold for the college man and woman.
