Alumni Fall to Follow Special Line of Work Studied at University
Records Show Graduates Take Different Vocations Than Those Prepared
Not all graduates of the University of Kansas settle down to a life of job-hunting or teaching school. For many the thrill of adventure just began after they entered the cold world, according to alumni records. In 2017, he worked in which he specialized while in school, L. M. Bocker, A. B. graduated from the School of 'Axissering and is now a member at the firm of Mann & Bcker, importers and exporters of Seattle, Washington. He made four trips to the Orient in the last five years.
On his last trip to China he headed a committee of Trade commissioners, the United States, and their contract trade between Asia and the United States. They sailed for Seattle on the Empress of Canada December 4, 1924, and returned March 1, 1925.
N. L. Marshall, g99, of Carrion Va., is doing interest wck in the U. S. patent office where he sayssvs another K. U. people are to be found.
Oval and Erykah Bradley, A. B
23 and 24 respectively who were
prominent K. U. athlete wives in
school, have transferred their ability
in smashing records to the oil leasing
business in Chase county.
Another graduate has been travelling in a different direction. Elmer R. Higgs, g.795, who has done notable work in collecting specimens for La Brea Museum of Natural History of Chicago, reportedly made a six m. trip of exploration in southern D.C. and spent time exploring ten back-horn monsters including these well-known Mad sloth and others less familiar.
Miss Mary Smith, A. B. '19, of the departments of journalism has an interesting career in his life years since graduation. She first took a position as co承認者 of Financial Advertising for the New York and later did special appointments and feature articles on Sun.
In 1922 and 1923 Miss Smith was in charge of the Kansas News room at the University. In 1924 she was editor of the Abilene Daily Chronicle of Ablene, Kans., and in December 1924 she accepted a position in the publicity department of New York University, where she now is.
Entomologists Organize
P. B. Lawson Elected President of New Society
At this meeting papers were read by various members of the society. The number proposed to start a state list of all Kansas insects. Each member agreed to some special group and prepare the list for that group. A committee of three consisting of Prof. R. H. Beamer, assistant professor of entomology at Manhattan, Hurry R. Bryden, assistant professor of butterflies, Warren Krause of McPherson, were elected to have charge of the preparation of this state list.
Paul B. Lawson, assistant dean of the College and professor of Entomology, was elected as president of the College. Mr. McCullish was elected secretary.
The entomologists of Kansas met and organized a state entomologist society at Manhattan, recently. The meeting was called by Professor J. W. McCalloo, member of the department of entomology at Manhattan. According to Prof. H. B. Hungerford, director of the society, the society plans to meet at least once a year to discuss entomological problems.
Student's Model Plane Used to Advertise Film
The miniature, airplane made by Hemer Dellos, 2020, for the industrial engineer's exhibit was used this week in advertising the film "Air Mail." Dedo's miniature interstate bus which was also a part of the exhibit will be taken to Kuala Lumpur for an exhibition which will be held in one of the department stores in the near future. The time and place is not definitely decided upon.
Lane Lectures on Evolution
Lane Lectures on Evolution Dr. H. H. Lane, head of the department of Zoology, has given a course of six lectures to the Federation of Jewish Women clubs of Karuizo and has submitted a subject of "Evolution". These lectures were given by Doctor Lane at the request of the clubs. The course of lectures will be complete when the club visits the museum here.
Please Meet Miss Methanol. Thereby Avoiding Necessity of Selling Pencils for Living
By Dr. Edwin E. Slosson,
Director, Science Service, Washington
ton.
The public should get acquainted with methanol that they have hitherto known, if at all, by the name of "wood alcohol" or methyl alcohol." Its new name—accent on the first syllable, please—will tend to be familiar. It is not the fatal confusion of methyl with her sister ethyl, who is the more sought after and less deadly member of the family. Many a man has asked the druggist for "alcohol" for horse-limbing or cleaning his typewriter, and the druggist, not noticing the wink, has given him the kind of alcohol he was drinking. Alcohol is stead of blind drunk. Alcohol for industrial purposes is often denutured with methanol and when it is de-nutured for beverage purposes some of this is likely to be left in. Because of such accidents conscientious bootlegers are said to furnish free with beer the drinks of die hards and a card, "I am blind," so the purchaser is insured of a livelihood in case of the worst.
Methanol in its proper place, which is outside the human stomach, is a useful article in many manufactures. Methanol has been made in America annually by the distillation of wood. But this method of manufacture is now hard hit by a new process which uses coal and water as the raw material. The new process, called the formation of the well-known "watergas" by passing steam over hot coal.
Growth of Maple Tree Distorts Lincoln Face
Have you ever seen Abe Lincoln?
No. Have you ever seen his shadow,
then? Well you have certainly
seen it. You see it in a room,
then, Tonight about nine nails
leisurely leashed down Tennessee on
the west side until you come to street
the tenth, and there right on the
square would the shadow of Abe's head itself.
This phenomenal shadow is certainly not new to most upper class men and more especially it is not now to K, U. grad's. Now for those "who have eyes and see not," go to the southwest corner of Tenth and Tennessee and at the northeast intersection of the side-walk is a big maple tree. West of this tree very plainly outlined on the walk—behold! there he is. The heavy bushy tassel of the jungle fushy hair point to the northeast. Then you see the big nose, the short whisker whispers and the firm law.
What causes this thing? In as simple an explanation as can be given, it is caused by a street light and the root of a tree. The root of the tree is some eight or ten inches above the level of the walk and the light casts the shadow upon the walk.
In by-gone days—ask any old grad—the figure was in a more perfect form. Time, weather, and man have all wrought their individual powers to figure the foot figure. The knot on the root that forms the nose has grown, so some say, and given poor Abe a larger organ by which to smell than any person really needs. Others suggest that it has been moved and thus caused the distortion. Anyhow? if you have never had the opportunity of seeing Mr. Lincoln in the flesh and blood you are at least given the privilege to see his most important of all, to gain the other half of your college education.
Ground Spouts Wealth for Texas Universi
The University of Texas receives royalties of $4,700 a day from its oil wells. An increase in the production from fifteen to twenty-five thousand barrels a day has added greatly to the University's income from the Big Lake oil field, which is located on land owned by the university.
The total land holdings of the university is 2,080,000 acres, located in the western part of the state. Approximately three-fourths million acres are under lease for oil. All of the money received from this source goes into the building fund of the University at Austin.
A new gas line is being put 'n at Dyche museum. A crew of workers has been digging a trench for the work week, and the end of their job is in sight. They have just finished the difficult part of the work which was buring under the pavement. They are now in by "in" the end of the week at lest.
This gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, both good combustibles. When the water gas mixed with more hydrogen, is subjected to heat and pressure in the presence of a catalyst the carbon monoxide and the hydrogen combine to form methanol.
The new process may prove to be equally important since by slight variation the same raw materials may be made to yield acetone, a useful solvent, formaldehyde, a familiar disinfectant, and an old mixy oil which can also be used in which gasoline may be made. The demand for formaldehyde has greatly grown of late because it is one of the two ingredients of synthetic resins, such as bakealex, which gives us music by means of radio receivers and phonograph records. Methanol is being increasingly employed as a solvent in lacquers and paints, which are used in making many dyes and drugs.
The inventor of the methanol process, Dr. Frank Fischer, director of the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute at Mulehui—Rahr, is now in this country and gave a talk at the recent Balkan Congress on Biomass and American Chemical Society. In his America he puts the mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide under a pressure of 1050 pounds per square inch at a temperature of 410 degrees centigrade. The catalyst, that is, the agent that affects the combination of hydrogen and carbon dioxide in the dische plant at Merseburg turns onto twenty tons of methanol a day.
Due to the possibility of his men-
ticing human evolution, arrangements with Dr. Wolfgang Koehler,
University of Berlin professor, for a lecture at the University of North
Carolina, were cancelled recently.
North Carolina Scholars Fear Evolution Lectur
Doctor Koehler, an authority on the life and habit of anthropoid apes has come to this country to give a course of lectures. The withdrawals of the invitation to speak at the university puzzles him greatly, as he has explained without recourse to some phase of the evolutionary theory.
The close vote and strong opposition in favor of a bill to teach education of evolution illegal in North Carolina, whichew barely defeated the last session of the legislature led to the cancelling of arrangement

Herd of Wood Buffalo
(References
erd of Wood Buffalo Is Maintained in Canada
Washington, April 24—A plea for the maintainer of the racial integrity of the Canadian wood buffalo was presented recently before the meeting of the American Society of Veterinary Medicine by Dr. Francis Harper of Cornell University. Doctor Harper is much opposed to the transfer of surplus animals from the Winnipeg herd of plains buffalo to the range of the only subspecies of wood buffalo preserved in a special range in northern Alberta.
"The latter are practically the only representatives of the genus Bison left anywhere in a perfectly wild and unconfined state," said Doctor Harper. "They have been described as a distinct subspecies, be notably larger than the thinnest buffalo. They are much better fitted than the later to cope with two of the chief problems of existence in their own particular environment—deep winter snows and the depredations of timber wolves.
Petroleum Growth Shown
Standard Oil Manager Explains History of Industry
H. C. Griffin, manager of the Kansas City branch of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, told of the tremendous growth of petroleum industry that has occurred in the last 10 years, in a talk given before the University of Chicago Wednesday morning in room 202 west Administration building.
In 1906 the total production of kerosene in the United States was 28 million barrels. Little gasoline was used at that time. In 1923 the kerosene production of the oil companies was 46 million barrels and the crude produced to totaled 150 million barrels.
In 1906 70 million dollars was invested in the oil business. In 1924 it totaled approximately eleven and half billion dollars.
In 1966, Mr. Griffin said, Standard oil stock was owned by 6000 per cent enough to control the company. Today, he pointed out, there are 150,000 stockholders in all of the Standing Seven companies over 5-1/2 per cent of the stock.
G. Walter Woodworth, MA23, has declined the influence in economics from Northwestern College, and has accepted an assistance in the department of economics in the University of Michigan for the year 1925-26, and will do part time time work, while taking further work there.

Radium Supply of World Is Less Than Half Pound
Baltimore, April 24 — Less than a half pound, between 200 and 229 grams, of radium has been produced in the world since Madame Curie discovered this precious element in 1838, Dr. Charles H. Viol told members of the American Chemical Society this evening. Doctor Viol a director of the Radium Research Laboratory of the Standard Chemical Co. of Pittsburgh, which has provided nearly half of the entire supply.
(Science Service)
"Small as this quantity of materials," said Doctor Viol, "it represents an almost unbelievable amount of work and expense in the refining of radium and at the present price repri- bursed by the company. Its commercial production entails the handling of enormous masses of minerals. When earcorns from southwestern Colorado is used in the source, more than five hundred tons of or must be handled in a process of oil deposition. In this process a like tomography of chemicals, a thousand tons of coal, and upwards of ten thousand tons of treated or distilled water are used—the fund product being pure radium bromide, a white solid which would otherwise have a bulk suffice to build till an ordinary thimble."
The Kansas relay brought two sport writers from Chicago, according to W. A. Dill, director of the Kansas news bureau. Among the sport writers from Chicago are from the press box were Walter Eckererall, sport writer for the Chicago Tribune, and Charles W. Dunham, division member of the Associated Press.
