PAUL HAWORTH WOUNDED
AT DARDANELLE
With a bullet wound in his arm,
Paul Haworth son of Prof. Erasmus
Haworth of the geology department,
has been sent back to Cairo to recuperate. Paul has been fighting with the Australian troops in and about the Dardenelles. He received the wound while in an engagement with the Turks on a little island Gallopi, off the coast of Italy.
About nine in the morning the division that Paul was with made a charge on the trenches of the Turks and it was in this attack that he received the wound. He fought until ninety that evening before he had the arm dressed. The doctors immediately hid him high up and copulate where he is at the present time. The bullet is still in his arm, as the doctors could not remove it yet.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Strickler returned to their home in Canton, today after a two weeks' visit with Mrs. Stricklers parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J Maughlin. Mrs. Strickler is a member of the class of '09.
The letter which Professor Haworth received just recently, was dated May 7. It takes letters a month and sometimes longer to reach here and they are very strictly censored. Some of the letters after they reach here, are just mere fragments of what they originally were.
Mr. Thomas Scott, superintendent of schools at Guthrie, Oklahoma was here Wednesday to meet a number of prospective teachers who are taking work here this summer.
Helen Gephart, c'16, has accepted a position in the Sheridan County high school at Hoxie, where she will have charge of the department of language.

Needle of Seismograph Marks Vibrations of Earth on Smoked Paper
"The University seismograph, in the basement of Blake Hall, is one of the features of constant interest to both students and faculty," said Professor Kester, yesterday. "All people about the University are welcome to visit the building and observe its operation. We have framed a record made from the seismograph and placed it in the case enclosing the apparatus. It shows the jagged course of the needle in a common quake occurring in February.
"Earthquakes occur," said Professor Kester, "from two to fifteen times a month in the United States. The seismograph we have does not record the lesser shocks. However, it records those at any distance. Shocks of great intensity disturb the entire mass of the earth and may be recorded anywhere. There are localities where they are quite frequent; the Rocky Mountain district and all of Mexico are fruitful fields. Shocks are unusual in Kansas, though we have records of them occurring within the State, not more than 100 miles from Lawrence.
"We have no evidence," said Prof. W. H. Twnenhof, of the department of geology, "that earthquakes are growing either more or less frequent. We can determine, however, that they occur periodically with marked intensity. We do not, of course, learn this from the seismograph as it has only been an authentic source or record for twenty-five years, but from the position of the different strata of rock. In recent geological times, say for a period of five million years, we have occurred throughout different periods of from two million to nine million years. Back through remote periods of the earth's existence, from six billion years ago until the recent period mentioned, we have no record."
The seismograph is located between the two stairways in the basement of Blake.
HOW NOT TO DO IT
Dean Butler Shows How Other
"How not to do it" was the text of most of Dean Harold L. Butler's discourse at the Community Sing, which was held Tuesday evening on the campus south-west of Green Hall. He accompanied his lecture with vivid illustrations of the way in which most of the students were singing.
With his shoulders drooping, a disinterested look on his face, and trying to suppress a violent cough by placing his hand over his mouth, he mumbled the words to one of the songs. The effect was wonderful. After a hearty sigh, each strained up and on the next song, each sang with all his might.
"The Harlen Goat," a song which had proved so popular at the first Sing could not be sung Tuesday evening because no one was brave enough to start it. After a rousing rock chalk the crowd was dismissed.
JOIN THE KANSAS LEAGUE
Russell and St. Marys have recently joined the League of Kansas Municipalities, making a total of 138 cities. The Kansas League which is the third largest of its kind in the United States, was established May 1910.
Russell and St. Marys Make 138 Members
The objects of the league are; to co-operate with the cities of Kansas in the practical study of city affairs; to hold one convention a year for the promotion of the best methods of municipal service and the discussion of problems in city administration; and to secure helpful legislation for cities and citizens thereof and oppose injurious legislation.
This League is in direct connection with the Municipal Reference Bureau of the University of Kansas through its secretary and treasurer of the league.
The Epworth League Convention will be in session Thursday and Friday of this week. Delegates are here from all parts of this district. A picnic was held Thursday night on the golf links so that the visitors could get better acquainted with the location of the University.
An investigation by this league shows that nine-tenths of the cities of Kansas own their own water plants and most of them their own lighting systems.
Della Mavity, c'13 of Bella Plaine,
was recently married to Dr. M. R. Mc-
kewley and M. McBondall taught Engl-
ish and execlivist history at Bella
Plaine high school this last year.
University catalogs, thirty thousand of them, have been received at the Registrar's office and are now being distributed to prospective students all over the state.
30,000 CATALOGS ARE
NOW BEING DISTRIBUTED
Each school of the University is represented by a booklet of its own. This arrangement has been resorted to in order to do away with the unnecessary expense entailed by the printing of all information relative to the different departments in the same catalog.
The prospective student receives on
one catalog or of the school in
which he is enrolled.
Fifteen thousand copies, the largest number of any one section contain general information. The smallest number of copies for one department is four hundred. These give information about athletics.
TRAVEL FEATURE SOON
South Pole and Cape Horn to be Pictured in Movies at Fraser
The best motion picture entertainment offered by the University will be the Lee Keddick animal and travel pictures of the South Polar and Cape Horn regions at Fraser Chapel July 12 and 13.
"Without doubt this is the best attraction we can offer on the summer course of entertainments," said Prof. F. R. Hamilton, of the Extension Division. "The pictures are usually shown only in the large cities," he continued, "and it was with difficulty that we secured them at all. The expedition which took the pictures cost $300,000. The recommendations we have received assure us that the pictures are of rare educational value, as well as being entertaining and filled with moments of fun."
A poster showing one picture of the series, seen in the office of the Extension Division, shows what is estimated to be a million penguins, duck-like birds unable to fly, which live on Cape Horn.
One picture of polar mountains shows thousands of penguins, among which are numerous seals. In the background there is a channel of water between masses of ice-covered mountains and behind that between the horizon and the zenith the sky is glowing with the aurora borealis
The usual admission to the pictures is fifty cents. For students it will be twenty-five cents, and to others the usual price. The same program of pictures will be given both evenings. The series consists of six reels. Mr. Hamilton expects a full house each night.
Y. W. C. A. HOLDS BIG RALLY

K. U. PENNANT TO CO. M
Will Be Made By Summer Session Girls and Civil War Veteran
Company M will soon have the R. U. pennant which they want if the war department does not object. Dr. James Naismith is looking up the matter and will send work to Mr. U. S. G. Plank as soon as he find out.
Mr. Plank does not believe that the war department will object to the boys flying the pennant. "But if the war department does object," he said, "we will send the pennant anyway, so the boys can hang it up in their quarters."
The pennant will be fifteen feet long with a base of eight feet, according to present plans. The making of the pennant is but a small token of the pride and admiration which all the girls of the Summer Session have for who left their studies and business of all kinds to fight for their country.
"The plans, for making the pennant, are all ready," said Mr. Plank, who has charge of them. "The girls of the Summor Session will make the pennant, and William Nadelhofer, a War warrior, will make the staff."
K. U. is represented by the best of manhood, and we are sure that the boy will be something doing when the boy goes to K. U. to march southward.
NEW FUSE AND SWITCH
INSTALLED IN BLAKE HALL
A new fuse block and switch, both of improved type, are being installed in Blake Hall this week by L. S. Brooks, who has charge of the appliance room and shops. The fuse block is of the chloride accumulator type. The advantage of this particular device is that the whole block is not disturbed by the blowing out of a single fuse.
The switch board, of a high capacity, was designed by Mr. Brooks and E. F. Stimpson. It is three by six feet, mounted on a slate background. The board is a 130 Ohm Rhoestat, having thirty-two switches and was built by the George Cutter Company of South Bend, Ind.
"The new board," said Mr. Brooks, "will add very much to the convenience and dispatch of business in the building."
