Prof. C. M. Young of the department of mining will give an illustrate lecture on strip-pit mining in south eastern Kansas, Thursday at 4:30 o'clock. Mr. Nixon. 206. Professor Young will speak under the auspices of the Mining Journal and Geological Club. The public is invited to attend. Paul Holland, president of the Club considers that Mr. Young knows more about strip-pit mining than any other man in the state. He has specialized in the mining industry many years ago and studied especially the mines in southeastern Kansas.
Lantern slides made from pictures taken in the Pittsburgh district will show the miners themselves and manned machines from the mines. Positions of coal strata and conditions making strip-pit mining possible will be shown. This is the place of the regular meeting of the Mining Journal and Geology Club.
"Since strip-pit mines are the only ones volunteers can operate, every one going or thinking of going to the mines should hear this lecture. Mr. Holland believes that many town people who are sending relatives and friends to the mines would like to know more of conditions there.
DAINS BACK FROM TRIP
Professor of Chemistry has Been Traveling in Interest of the National Research Council
Dr. F. B. Dains of the department of chemistry has returned from a 2-weeks' visit at the Universities of Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota, where he made a preliminary survey in his department's campaign to further scientific research. In addition to his scientific efforts Doctor Dains seized the opportunity offered to dine on venison cut from a deer shot by Prof. Kate Daum, who was until this year an instructor in chemistry at Kansas and is now an assistant professor in the University of Montana.
Doctor Daina further added to the interest of his trip by being on a train, one car of which was robbed by Carlie兰. The Wyoming bandit did not enter Doctor Daina car and the only part Doctor Daina had in the adventure was in listening to the report of the robber's work next morning.
Mustaches Attempt Existence On Campus
"The National Research Council is endeavoring to further scientific research possibilities in the various educational institutions," Doctor Daina said today. "As preliminary to a definite campaign I visited three those universities of South Dakota, Nebraska and Colorado."

This situation is typical of the majority of cities of the Middle west according to reports today.

Madame Hammer to Presen English Production of Ibsen Plays
MADAME BORGANY HAMMER
"To really appreciate Madame Hammer," said Professor A. M. Sturtevant, "it might be well to know that no one but the best of talent ever attained can compete." Successfully done, it is the crowning success of an actors ife."
The National Theater came into existence along about the middle of the nineteenth century. It is really the work of a triumph over the Danish literature.
Björsnason was made president of the Norwegian literary party organization and Ibsen vice-president. They constructed a theater in Christiana for the purpose of furthering Norwegian art. Ibsen's plays were presented there, and he became a famous fame. The success of the theater can be attributed to Ibsen for his good business management and because of the success of his plays. As the theater grew in fame, it came under the notice of the Norwegian government, and finally was taken over by them and made into the National Theater. He also built a theater of Norwegian art, and a large theater was built in its honor.
At present the National Theater is maintained by the government of Norway for the purpose of furthering literature and educating the people.
"in view of these facts, said Miss Lynn, head of the Collegiate Alumni Association, "I do not believe Madame Hammer can be over-praised."

ENGINEER-LAW DEBATE
EARLY NEXT SEMESTER
Engineers Will Hold Convocation
To Arouse Enthusiasm
For Another Victory
The date for the recently established annual clash between the engineers and laws in the form of a debate has not been definitely decided upon, owing to a number of reasons. Certain it will be held early next semester, either in February or the part of March, according to Prof. Henry Shinn of the department for public speaking, and Prof. C. W. Williams of the School of Engineering.
The engineers won the choice of sides and will take the affirmative of the question, which is to the effect that strikes in industries directly engaged in the production of food, fuel, and machinery are prohibited by federal law and all much industrial disputes be settled by compulsory arbitration.
"The question is one of timely interest to everyone and the debate promises to be a close and keenly contested one," said Professor Shinn. "The laws are strong to retrieve their defeat at the hands of the engineers last year and claim that lack of sufficient harmony among them was the only thing that allowed the rival school to beat them at their own cost. The defeat of town judges will be obtained for the debate, which may be held in the gym instead of Fraser, as was done previously."
The debate committees met recently and the teams will be chosen before the year ends. Professor Williams said the engineers would hold a convoction in the near future to arouse the enthusiasm for another victory over the team that will represent the law school.
