With White House
Curtis Speeds Legislation
Washington, D.C., The Republican "new guard" of the Senate under the fresh leadership of Senator Curtin is functioning in close co-operation.
with the White House in direer a
vertter the differences of the last se-
sion, and adopt an speedily las-
sible all constructive legislation.
Although the Independents are threatening trouble, the new regime is working out with them for adoption of a Muscala Shoe Bill and a postal salary increase bill, two questions on which there is much discord and which could not become law unless the White House is reached.
Instead of going ahead with measures in the usual way, as was the custom last session, the supporters of the bills have sought the suggestions of the executive on each, with the result that the postal salary increase measure is not warranted and will incur final enactment, and the arrangements for the Muscle Shoals disposition are being worked out.

Glacial Period Coming Doctor Schoewe Tells K. U. Geology Students
Northern Kansas Was Covered by an Ice Sheet Many
"That another glacial period will come, is the belief of a number of people," said Dr. W. H. Schowe, or the department of geology, speaking before a group of geology students, Thursday, in the geology building.
Years Ago
"This belief is founded upon evil evidence that the glaciers of the north are slowly moving south, while at other times they are still changing," said Doctor Schowe
The lecture was on the topic "Kansas During the Glacier Period." Doctor Schowe first gave an explanation of the glacial periods as a whole and then explained now they had affected Kansas.
"It is known that the Kansas river cas"s During the Glacial Period." said Doctor Schowe. He explained that the glaciers had dammed the river and caused the formation of a gigantic lake between Wamogo and Manhattan. "This fact is known," he said, "because of the sandy soil"s in the upland between Wamogo and Kawata. The glacier lake finally went around the glacier in a path through Mill Creek and the Wakarusa river."
Illustrations by projection slides were used to demonstrate the parts of Kansas lying in the northwestern part of the state, that the glaciers affected.
U.S. Health Takes a Rise
Typhoid Death Rate Declines Says Official Report
Health conditions throughout the United States were generally good, according to the report of the secretary of health. The provisional indices indicate that the death rate was higher than those of the years 1921 and 1922. There was a continuation of the remarkable decline in the death rate from typhoid in 1921.
This decline has been recorded for many years. Forty-four states reported 32 cases per hundred thousand as compared with 34.6 cases in 1922, and the death rate was 7.2 as compared in 1922. Although the means for its control are known, diphtheria continues to cause many deaths. The cases per hundred thousand reported in 1923 were 123.8 compared with 164.1 in 1922. The death rate was 11.3 in 1922. This increase in both of both cases and deaths from measles show a decided increase; for the calendar year 1923, 45 States reported 682.2 cases per hundred thousand population as compared with 645.7 in 1922. The death rates from this disease were 0.4 in 1922 and 0.5 in 1922.

Nice, Juicy Bears Fill Adirondack Forests
(United Press)
Sarancac Lake, N. Y., Dec. 5.—Desperate that, owing to the forest fire manners, hunters were kept out of the Adirondack forests for half the season, a record number of bears were killed and section of the mountains this year.
It is probable that as a result of the large number killed within a fortnight of hunting, the present law, which protects Adriodon burei for shows in the year, will redefine it and the year, all open season restored.
Adriackdon hunters have maintained that bears needed no protection and if they were protected they would increase to the extent that would soon place them in the moun- ness class. The old time mountain
hunters who made a business of trapping and killing bears for the bounty have passed. The younger generation of hunters are by no means skilful. As a result even before the end of the century, bears had things just about their own way, except during the open season for deer, when a number would be killed by deer hunters. Now with eleven months protection each year, the animals are increasingly bound to bear bounds, any Alligator woodsmith.
