Confusion between development of "iron and steel industry" and "metal manufactures," recently caused a University of Kansas publication and other papers later to quote P. F. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering of the University that Kansas is almost certain in the future to become an iron and steel manufacturing state.
Mistake in Quoting Dean Walker Brings Confusion
"No statement carrying such meaning has ever been made by one," says Dean Walker in a statement just issued. "Those responsible for the original statement probably have the 'iron and steel' difference between 'metal manufactures,' but many who read the statement do know the difference. Could a satisfactory foundry coke be produced from Kansas coal, it would be of great interest to findry business and other lines of manufacture in which iron and steel are used."
HONOR STUDENT OF 1923
Basic Thing to Learn Is to Write Simply-- Marcellus Murdock
Publisher of Wichita Eagle
Classes Today
"The one basic thing that most reporters have to learn, even going through a journalism school, is to write simply," said Marcellus Mardock, publisher of the Wichita Journal, a journalism class Monday morning.
"When the reporter feels that he must clutter his "stuff" up with a list of verbines, the story is bound to rack连章缝幕. A country correspondent on the Eagle was for a long time the most forceful writer he had."
"This is not the fault of the journalism school, for simplicity of expression is rather the result of an incomplete education. The uneducated usually have the ability to express themselves with words and phrases because their speech is free from involved expressions and phrases. It takes years and years of constant practice."
Mur. Mr. Murdock adjudged, prospective informants to cultivate the ability to think subjects through to a definite conclusion. He said that in doing that the reporter would get a proper perspective of the subject.
"Look at the story from every aide," he said. "Assume nothing. Try to find something which is going to make a good story. Include names in the story as much as possible, provide details about the world's men, and it certainly makes carriers. Nothing is so effective as the personal touch."
Mr. Murdock pointed out that a reporter has two distinct jobs. He must dig out the facts of the event he reports. In doing this he must be on his toes for the unusual aspect which distinguishes this event from the common run of events. His other job is to interview people in any way that will make a pleasing story.
For the first time in several years, there is only one patient at the University hospital, 1406 Tennesseet street. Not since the hospital has been at its present location has there been but a single patient, according to Dr. Eugene Smith. The hospital is usually crowded.
In speaking of the reporter's tasks of interviewing, Mr. Murdock said that he always tried to get at the emotional side. He said that people who hear others feel under unusual conditions, as well as what happened.
Sherman Delaney, ph27, is the only occupant of the building. He has an infected leg, but is recovering rapidly. Dr. Smith believes that he will be able to leave the hospital in a few days.

Drilling in South Africa One of Deepest in World
(Hr Solomon Qanlaat)
One of the deepest holes in the earth is a boring made in the hopes of striking oil near Carannah, South Africa. It was carried down to a depth of 5,600 feet below the surface where itself was some 2300 feet above it and stands in the hole to within 32 feet of the surface but thermometers have been lowered to 4102 feet and temperatures observed. At the lowest level the temperature is 137 degrees Fahrenheit as high as that of scalding water.
At 55 feet depth the temperature is 73 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. Above that level there is some difference due to the seasons. The rate of increase of temperature declines as the depth increases. In the deepest hole in the earth, the San Diego earthquake, Brazil, the rock temperature is 117 degrees Fahrenheit a depth of 6726 feet below the surface.

Ox Team Crosses U. S.
(United Press)
During Slow Trip Across Plains Family Enjoys Radio
Medford, Ore. May 9—The J. C.
Berring "covered wagon" has just
crossed the pins with an ox team
and a radio set.
Berring takes his hat off to the thousands of pioneers who crossed the plains by ox team but, he said, he had never seen a radio—that's some distraction."
Mr. and Mrs. Berring, formerly of New Britain, Conn., left there in December, 1920, after their home burned. They bought an ax team and started out to find a new home just, again, like the pioneers of old.
Every night they would draw up alongside the roadway, build their campfire and turn on the radio. They had a stove and a few necessities in the wagon and lived in it all of the time.
"We had a lovely time," said Mrs. Berrang. "Housekeeping duties are limited when you travel this way. I'm sort of sorry it's over."
Much of their travel was over out-of-the-way roads, as dirt highways were better suited for the oxen's feet than pavements. They followed the old Oregon trail whenever possible, and the rouge part of their trip, they said, was in the Rocky Mountain States.
Sigma Delta Chi Initiates
Berrang said he expected to settle here.
