GAS FIELDS SURVEYED BY RESEARCH BUREA
Bulletin Proves Gas Should Be Sold on Meat Unit Basis
The division of State chemical research has just issued a bulletin on the chemical survey of the natural gases of Kansas and Oklahoma by H. C. Allen and E. E. Lyde. It covers a complete investigation of the conditions in the gas fields both states have had in common, and proof that gas should be sold on a neat-unit basis rather than a basis of quantity. The causes for complaint of eastern Kansas gas consumers are not of the gas but the variations in pressure, and the low pressure caused by cold. When the pressure is low, more gas is used to get the same amount of gas; when it is high, more gas were sold on a heat-unit basis the customer would have no cause for complaint.
The first actual drilling for gas in Kansas was in June 1860, by Dr. G. W. Brown of Lawrence who put down a 4-inch hole in Miami county. It was a failure and all attempts failed till 1885 when a well 8 miles from Palon produced 10 barrels a day. Since then the company has produced counties in the state are classed in the gas-producing field. In most localities where gas is found oil has been discovered in a greater or less degree. No gas was found in Oklahoma until 1906 when they drilled within a mile of the Kansas line. The delay was caused by the uncertainty of the status of the Indian land and a law prohibiting the drilling of gas in that state. After the law was annulled the gas industry in Oklahoma grew very fast. According to a table in this bulletin West Virginia excels in the production of natural gas and Pennsylvania in its consumption.

BLUE PRINT MACHINE IS SET UP FOR USE
Put K. U.First
This Devise is One of Latest Commercial Type on The Market
The new electric blue print machine and washer-drier attachment which arrived at the geology building a few days ago was installed last week and is now ready for use in making blue prints for the geology department.
The machine was made by C. F. Pease & Company of Chicago, and is one of the latest and most up-to-date machines in the blue print machine on the market.
One of the features of the machine is the washer-drier. It washes and dries the prints as fast as they are printed, saving much time and labor. Prints of any desired length can be made in the machine and 42 inches wide, with capacity of this machine. The printer also able to make prints 54 inches wide.
There are five are lights which give the light for the prints. Sensitised paper is passed directly below these with tracings on top of paper. The tracings are thrown to one side after they have passed through the printer. These are then passed on and peres passes on through the washer-drier. The paper first goes through a solution of potassium chromate and then through clear water. It then passes over a heated rock which dries the prints almost instantly. The paper is then put back on the washer-drier and is ready to be trimmed and sent out for use.
"We expect to have a great deal of work in a few months, but at present are busy getting our trades and training Dr. Moore of the geology department."
The machine will be handled by a student who has had some experience at making blue prints. By spending two or three afternoons a week and Saturdays he will be able to turn all the work the department will provide, as much as possible, where there is much work, but because of the washer-drier attachment the work can easily be handled by one person.
Parliament of Britain Meets After Vacation
London, Oct. 29.—Parliament reassembled Wednesday after two months vacation, and the opposing parties lined up for a strenuous fall session. Questioners were busy early and the occupants of the government "Front Bench" had a lively time at the hands of members who were chiefly responsible to the result of the government's "economy campaign," the North Russian war and Premier Lloyd George's Irish trade and labor policies.
The Irish question was on the list for an early government statement Lloyd George having promised a new rule bill this session, and in any event some action must be taken, soon, otherwise the 1914 bill became a law six months after the conclusion of the referendum reference to the coal industry is also imperative, and a fresh statement on the cabinets trade policy is due.
Speaker J. W. Lowther took the chair in the House of Commons at 2:45 p.m.
National expenditure questions were expected to bring Chancellor of the Exchequer Austen Chamberlin into the limelight; members being uneasy over unofficial reports that the much-vaudeville government economist had saved from $75,000,000 to $125,000,000, which on a daily expenditure of $10,000,000 in excess of revenue was held to be inadequate.

Leaders Hope for Vote On Peace Treaty Today
Washington, Oct. 28—Prospects for early Senate action on the peace treaty again looked brighter today as administration leaders prepared to move forward with the Moses amendments, which deal with the voting in the League of Nations.

"LOMBARDIL Ltd"
starring
Bert Lytell
The play "Lombardi, Ltd." is as brilliant as the star. It was written by Frederic and Fanny Hatton, conceded to be America's most gifted collaborators. Their reputation is, in fact, world-wide. From their pane came "Upstairs and Down," "The Walk Offs," "The Great Lover" and "Years of Discretion." In their list of stage successes "Lombardi, Ltd." is the most recent and the most original and captivating. It is a smart comedy of moods and fads and fashions.
Prices: Children 17c, Adults 28c; these prices include war tax.
