WRITES BOOK ON BIRDS
Mrs. Douthitt, Zoology Instructor, Has Work On Feathered Natives
"The Migration Records of Kansais Birds" is the title of the recently published book written by Mrs. Bessie Douthitt, an instructor in zoology.
The purpose of the book is to help teachers especially, giving them an idea when to expect certain birds and the latest date of departure in autumn of all Kansas land and water birds. Also, the food habits and habitats of groups of birds are given, as well as a scientific name of 270 Kansas birds.
Fifty reprints have been made of this volume, which are to be sent to Kansas teachers. Copies may be had who are interested in bird study.
The book is based on many daily, field trips taken by Mrs. Douthitt and also on records of birds shot and brought into the museum. Mrs. Douthitt first became interested in the migration of birds, when working under the guidance of Dr. Charles University of Illinois. She began her observations in Kansas in the spring of 1914, but war conditions have prevented previous publications of her work. Mrs. Douthitt has made several interesting discoveries in her field trips, among which was the discovery of three cone-shaped summers, when Kansas is not the regular habitat of this specimen.

(United Press)

Washington, Sept. 24. -Disclosures concerning the packers wartime profits and the attempt to have President Wilson change the food administration regulations under which the packers operated were made today in a report submitted to the senate by the Federal Trade Commission.
The commission informed President Wilson in a report dated June 28, 1918, that packers' war profits were $150 million over 3 times earnings in pre-war years.

The report is said to have been withheld from publication during the war at the request of President Wilson who feared it might injure the food saving campaign of the food administration. Herbert Hoover, in a letter to the President, also opposed the publicity at that time.

Line Bucking, Signals, Formations, and Broken Field Running Practiced Yesterday
"just because a man has won a letter at football here doesn't mean that that man has his place cinched on this year's team. If there are any new men in school who can beat the old men in their positions they will get the places.
"There has been a story circulating that the first team is practically picked out now. There is nothing in it. The men who practice from on will be the men who start the first game.
"We need more linemen and we need more backs. I should like to have every man in school who has played football to practice." Statement of Head Coach Leon McCarty as he came off Hamilton Field after Tuesday afternoon's practice.
"There aren't enough of them. We ought to have eighty men out. If more men will turn out, I will see it that there are enough coaches to attend to all, and every man will get a showing."
Two score men were out Tuesday afternoon to greet Director of Athletic's Allen, who came down to McCook Field to look over the hopes of the Crismon and the Blue. The men had been running, but as Doctor Allen said,

In bucking a backfield formation from an end position, Saunders, Lawrence boy who is showing up well in the line wrenched a shoulder rather badly, and will be laid up a day or two.
McCarty separated the linenen from the ends and backs, and gave them instructions as to form, and backed one line against the other. Lindsey ran the backs through a lot of signal and formations, and coach Lindsey made sure that running them down a line of wooden posts set in the center of the field.

(United Press)
Washington, Sept. 24—The anti-strike provision of the Cummings Railroad Bill is "an attempt to place the shackles of involuntary servitude on railroad workers," W. W. Donek and Beverly Schultz, president of Railroad trainmen, told the interstate commerce commission today.
"It is the boldest attempt at individual and economic bondage since World War II," industrial incotentiary servitude worse than the slavery that existed prior to the Civil War."
The arbitration feature of the bill would constitute "the meanest form of compulsory arbitration and would place it under a political board under supervision of a political body" he asserted.
