JOBS READY FOR ENGINEERS
Dean P. F. Walker Can Not Supply Calls for K. U. Graduates
BIG SALARIES OFFERED
Govement Applies for Elec trical and Mechanical Experts From K. U.
"The demand for graduate engineers from every department has never been as great as it has this year." Walker of the engineering school, this morning.
R. A. Rutledge, chief engineer for the Santa Fe, when talking to Dean Walker a short time ago said that it was absolutely impossible for them to find engineers to fill the places they had.
Among the many offers on file in his office, Dean Walker has one for electrical and mechanical engineer with the U. S. government at $8,500, another designing机械 at $10,000, and several others as good as you.
"Every man who graduates from the engineering school of the University of Kansas next spring will be placed at once by big companies east and west," said Dean Walker. "At the present time several of them have offered with me for from to six men and many others we could send them hundreds chemicals tomorrow. Some of the companies are sending their own representatives here to interview the men regarding work after graduation."
"At present I have more offers for mechanicals and chemicals. The only reason, however, is that the railroadians want us to work with them we can not supply them with men."
WOMAN NOT FOUND YET
Disappearance of Mrs. Charles Cochrane Still Unsolved
the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Mrs. Charles Cochrane, wife of Prof. Charles Cochrane of the School of Engineering had not been cleared up to a late hour this afternoon.
Mrs. Cochrane left her home n.
1336 Kentucky street last Wednesday
day about seven o'clock. She was assumed
that she had gone to visit relatives in
Denver, but she did not arrive there.
The suicide theory was also add-
ed to the testimony of health, but the testimony of a Santa Fe train crew tends to disprove this.
The Santa Fe agent and train crew say that a woman of her description bought a ticket for Denver at the Santa Fe station that night and boarded a late westbound train. The crew of the train dodged the new crew did not see anyone answering to her description.
The porter who worked the train to Dodge City remember's directing a woman that he thought was she to a restaurant at Dodge City.
Mrs. Cochrane is the daughter of Webster Ballinger, a practicing attorney of Denver. Mrs. A. M. Johnson also of Denver, is her sister, Mrs. Johnson is now in Lawrence aiding Professor Cochrane in the search for his wife. Both husband and sister of the missing woman have offered liberal rewards for evidence leading to her whereabouts.

TERRILL WILL LECTURE
TONIGHT IN MYERS HALL
Prof. A, C. Terrill of the Department of Mining will speak to the men of the University tonight in Myers Hall on "The Cain Question." The lecture will have chiefly to do with the social and religious conditions in and around Pittsburgh, where the rapid growth of that business has added a maze of complications to social conditions.
With the increased value of the mining interests to the state and the increased number of laborers employed this question is resolving into a real issue. Professor Tessell will be in investigating conditions in mining districts, and his lecture tonight promises to be very interesting.

MINERS TO TAKE LONG FIELD TRII
Itinerary Includes Cripple Creek and Other Mining Centers in the West
The seniors in the mining department will take the first long field trip in the history of the department when they visit a mine or give a gift or during the spring holidays.
The trip will consume one school week, and will be directed by Prof. Arthur C. Terrill, head of the mining department. The party will leave Lawrence on Friday at 10:40 p.m. when the date is definitely decided upon, and arrive in Pueblo at 1:10 p.m. Saturday, where they will the street plant areas; the party will leave the morning evening, spend the night in Colorado Springs, and reach Cripple Creek Sunday. After spending three days visiting the mines at Cripple Creek and Victor, the party will return to Colorado Springs where it will visit the great Cycle cyanide mills and the coal mines, and study the geology of the Garden of Gods, Williams Canyon, and several other places. At the mine, there are testing plants, machinery houses, and the smelters. It will also visit the Colorado School of Mining at Golden and go up Clear Creek to Georgiotown, the famous old mining camp, which is still very active.
"Enough of the mining students have already promised to go to practically assure the trip," Prof. Terrill said today.
Professor Terrill lived in Colorado Springs and the Cripple Country for eighteen years. He also was superintendent of the Doctor Jackpot mine for a year. Cripple Creek, the richest gold mining territory in the United States, practically grew up while Professor Terrill lived there.
The carfare will cost each individual a little less than forty dollars, but the trip is well worth the money, according to Professor Terrill.
Nostalgia claims another victim. Affliction said to be spreading among K. U. students. There's a reason. Home and mother seem a long way off. Boiled water won't prevent this malady; 'Common sense and cheerfulness will. Letters home—and letters from home—are almost the same cases of home sickness; now sailing under new title of nostalgy.
HOME SICKNESS AT ROOT
OF MANY STUDENT ILL
We understand that Vance Prewett, who was forced to quit school at K. U, and return home on account of sickness, is entertaining a siege of whooping cough at his home in Logan, Kansas, with whom he stayed at Lawrence, had the whooping cough and he think he caught it from them.
Following is a notalgic item from the Beoit Gazette:
Good Water Pressure Now
Good Water Pressure Now
"The water pressure the past week has been satisfactory, and we statement university heating plant this morning. While the gauge reads but fifty pounds today, it was up as high as seventy pounds last week. As long as there is an average of 'sixty pounds pressure at the plant there will be no trouble in heating all the University buildings.
Mary Hilton, c19, is visiting friends on the hill this week. She expects to re-enter the University next semester.
DEBATING COUNCIL OBJECTS
TO WORDING OF SUBJECT
Final action on the Nebraska debat-
e be taken by the Debating
Council at 10 a.m.
The Council sent an objection to Nebraska some weeks ago as regards the wording of the subject of the debate. "The way the subject was worded is indefinite," said O. II Burns, instructor in oral interpretation. "The Council is not sure of the actual meaning.
Nebraska insisted upon the original words and our meeting Friday will decide what action we will take. The subject as submitted is: "Resolved that submarine warfare upon commerce as now conducted, is incompatibility between neutrals and the law of nations in regard to non-combatant enemies."
Another matter to be taken up at the meeting will be the submission of a question for the Missouri-Kansas debate to come off in the spring.
TYPHOID CASES ARE IMPROVING
Precautionary Measures Have Prevented Threatened Epidemic of a Week Ago
"The typhoid situation never looked brighter than it does this morning," said Dr. John Sundwall, a medical specialist in the service. "We believe that the disease is now under our control. All of the patients now confined in the University hospital, and in their homes are showing decided improvement."
In the light of present conditions, it seems that the University, through inoculations and stringent measures of precaution, has passed through a typhoid fever "scare" which a week ago threatened to become serious. Inoculations to date, number approxi matly 800.
Vaccination will continue to be given by the University hospital on two days of the week,-Tuesday afternoon for women and Friday afternoon for men. Even though the typhoid condition is improved, it is the desire of the health authorities to every student in the University take the Typhoid "typhoid" an uncertain disease. We run chances of its returning," continued Dr. Sundwall when speaking of the situation this morning.
Water should be boiled when used for drinking or culinary purposes. This order of the health department applies to both city water and well water, but emphasis is laid upon the necessity of boiling all well water.
SPOKE TO REPUBLICANS
Douglas County Hughes Men Heard Ada Dykes
Miss Ada Dykes, c'17, well known in the University as a public speaker and dramatist, and equally as well known out over the state as a politician. She was also a publican meeting last night in the Douglas County court house. Nearly two hundred men and women attended the meeting, which was advertised yesterday afternoon for the first time. Ms. Dykes was an吸纳ismus tically received by everyone.
The last three week-end have seen Miss Dykes in every part of the state making political speeches. Next, and her campaigning, when she will climb over a series of speeches in the vicinity of her home town, Le banon.
MUNICIPAL HALLOWEEN IDEA
HAS SPREAD TO ARKANSIA
The scheme for a municipal celebration of Halloween as planned and recommended by the child welfare department of the Extension Division, which he helped lead, has spread beyond the limits of the state. In a letter to Mr. McKeewer, the editor of the Fort Smith, Ark., Times-Record says: "I clipped your suggestions for a municipal Halloween from the Lawrence paper and handed it to our mayor. Fort Smith reserves Halloween a la McKeewer."
Mr. McKeever says that the towns in Kansas, especially the ones now entered in the contest among the third class cities, have shown much interest in the plan and some are planning big things for Halloween.
Class Studies Soil and-
While studying the soil formation under some apple, persimmon, and pear trees, at Loccompton, the Geology department of some of the apples, persimmons, and pears from the ground in order to get a clear view of the soil. Unfortunately there seem to have been no roots or leaves except in some of the students' pockets.

TRYING TO KEEP MILITIAMEN HERE
Dean Templin Announces Liberal Concessions Will be Made
EIGHT HAVE REGISTERED
Liberal concessions are to be made, by the professors and instructors of the University, to the student militiamen who are intending to take up responsibility for providing support to the concessions will be adjusted to the individual students' need; and everything will be done to encourage them to continue their work here this semester, in spite of the fact that it has been one-third of the time. This was the almost given out by Dean Templin this morning.
Lack of Funds Will Prevent Return of Some of the Soldiers
A number of the khaki-clad boys were seen on the campus this morning, and they all had that "glad to be back" expression on their faces. Conferences were indulged in, by the soldiers and their professors, as to the most feasible plan for the late arrival to embody the spirit of the institution. It was also needed that the logical one was for the students to re-enter and carry several hours less work than is required by the University under normal conditions.
EIGHT HAVE REGISTERED
At noon today, eight members of Company M had registered. They are Sherwin Kelly, Ernest Goppert, Floyd Livengood, George Woodward, Harry Ziesenis, Clarence Griffith, LePort Spangler and Ernest Blincoe. As to the number of boys of the federal guard who will return to K. U. to take up this semester's work, it is not necessary a matter of expiracy, but the belief in the registrar's office is that the number will not exceed twelve or fifteen. There were over fifty K. U. students in the militia this summer.
Lack of finances is the chief obstacle in the way of the boys' returning. The fifteen to eighten dollars received each month from the government are not enough so could not be relied on to defray expenses this fall at the University.
There are about fifteen K. U. stu-
students still in the service and their re-
turn is doubtful. These men are
serving in Company H, the hospital
corp, headquarters company, and the
supply company. Those students who
returned with Company M yesterday
are:
Captain, F. E. Jones.
First sergeant, Merrill F. Daum.
First Lieutenant, Lute M. Stover.
Second Lieutenant, Lester A.
