KNOW STATE'S GEOLOGY
Experts Can Tell About Every Well and Rock Formation in Kansas
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 20, 1916.
FIRST REPORT IN 186b
Prof. F, W. Mudge Issued Fifty-
Six Page Pamphlet
W. H. TWENHOFEL
The second geological survey was authorized in 1865, with Mr. G. C. Swallow as state geologist. This survey lived but one year after the publication of a pamphlet of 162 pages. This described the general geology of the state in somewhat greater detail than was done in the report by Professor Mudger. The author had been well done for the time and one of his contemporaries, writing after his death, states that "No other man during the same length of time has ever gone before to visit this country, and published a volume all in a year and a half, as he did."
Kansas had her first geological survey authorized in 1864 with Prof. F. W. Mudge appointed as the first state geologist in Kansas, a single year, resigning in 1865 to accept the professorship in natural history at Manhattan Agricultural College. His first and only report was published in 1866 and was a pamphlet addressed to his former colleagues other matters, a general description of the geology of the state which for that day was very good, but which in no way approaches the requirements of modern geological works. Professor Mudge prepared the first geological map of Kansas.
While Professor Mudge was not a great geologist, he was a remarkable man in many ways and was widely known as an excellent teacher and eloquent lecturer. His explorations over western Kansas were made at a time when it was necessary to undergo great hardship and risk great danger.
On the failure of the legislature of 1866 to make an appropriation for a continuance of the survey, the work of studying the geology and mineral resources of the state which had so promising a beginning came to an end and was not continued until time to time public spirits! It must be time to revive interest in behalf of a geological survey, but nothing came of their efforts.
In 1889 the legislature turned the organization of a State Geological Society into a corporation.
In 1893 Professors E. Haworth and S. W. Williston and several of their advanced students began to do geological work in the state and by 1895 this work had advanced to a degree sufficient to warrant the regents of the University in organizing the Third Geological Survey.
Since that date the survey has been continuous as a part of the University activities. In comparison with the geological surveys of other universities, he never been well supported and Prof. E. Haworth who was state geologist from 1895 until his resignation in June, 1915, was able to produce the splendid volumes that the survey has published by taking advantage of his devoted to recreation. With him it has been a labor of love. In many ways the state is to be congratulated that he has been in charge of its geological investigations. He has turned away discouraged and few could have done so much on so little.
The state should also feel ashamed. On every side of Kansas the other states with great liberality have been spending many thousands of dollars on resources while Kansas has been spending hundreds. While other states have been cooperating with the United States Geological Survey and providing funds for the cooperation, the state be carefully worked out. Kansas has done nothing;
The Third Geological Survey of Kansas has issued nine quarto volumes, two quarto bulletins and five reports on the mineral resources of the state. Every one of them was written by Professor Haworth and he wrote the two bulletins, the five reports and great portions of each of the others.
Two of the volumes discuss the general geology of the state, one the eastern half, the other the western half, and each has been of great scientific and economic value on the map in a geological sense. Five of the volumes relate to the economic geology of Kansas, and consider subjects of such great importance as Kansas coal, lead and zinc, mineral waters, gypsum and oil and gas, and that over three hundred and fifty copies of volume ix, the one relating to oil and gas, have been sent in answer to requests since September 1, 1915. The other two volumes relate to paleontology and each has been of immense value on the map, and discussed the intensely important subject of the well water of the state and the others the crystalline rocks which are reported
to have been reached in some of the deep oil wells.
Such is the record of what the survey has done and it is a record of which it may well be proud when it is known how meagerly it has been supported.
In June, 1915, Professor Haworth resigned the position of state geologis and the present incumbent was ap pointed. The activities of the survey are at present devoted to an investigation of Kansas clays, the study of the stratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous and a detailed study of the formation of like Kansas coal areas. The investigation of Kansas clays is under the direct supervision of Mr. Paul Tector who is in charge of the clay testing laboratory of the Geological survey. Prof. W. H. Twenhofel has undertaken the study of the Lower Cretaceous stratigraphy, while the faunas of the coal measures are being studied by Prof. J. W. Beede of the University of Oklahoma in the near future [bulletin on the road materials of Kansas.
The state geologist receives an average of about twelve letters per day. Each of these contains a request for information regarding minerals, rocks or soils, and each letter is carefully answered. Many specimens are also sent in for examination by the geologist. The information and a statement is returned to the sender as to the value and use of each
HERE'S WHY THEY
CALL HIM DADDY
ROY A. REYNOLDS
The year 1892 is a milestone in Kansas history in ways more than one. It not only marks the violent cyclone that destroyed Harper and Wellington, and the local warfare in Seward county, but most of all, it marks the coming to the University of Kansas of Prof. E. F. Goff, to lose him and to lose him and that school was Penn College at Oskaloosa, Ia., where he had taught about nine years.
Coming to Kansas in 1892 to take the chair of economic geology, which was established for him, he has been the head of the department of geology ever since. Of all the events that occured there, one that Haworth's career at Kansas, there is probably none so fruitful to the state as the organizing of the state geological survey in 1895. To this event we owe the efforts of Professor Haworth, who was a result of results which has been added to the knowledge of Kansas geology.
The leaving of Penn College, however, did not show any mark of disloyalty on the part of Professor Hafen, who taught at Pennsylvania and Kansas, for here at Kansas it was that he received his first degree, that of Bachelor of Science in 1881 and Master of Science in 1894. From the Hopkins School he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in '88.
The publications of the survey consist of nine volumes written by him or under his direction, and give a true and ample description of Kansas, its situation, its geology and history; of its hills, its valleys and its resources. As state geologist, his labors involved journeys, frequent and prolonged, and the meeting of problems, which, of necessity, must be handled in the course of the journey, later in several bulletins which added further to the wealth of material on Kansas geology.
While the stratigraphical sequence of the geological formations of Kane the financier and the artisan as well, he was a pioneer in the field, been the work of Professor Haworth. For twenty years as state geologist, he has gathered facts and has interpreted their significance until now, through his research. He is only to the students at the University, but to the farmer, the merchant, he financier and the artisan as well. And, too, a personality enters into the work which bears his name, and this, along with his gift for building by great and good man, are a vast wealth to the state of Kansas.
In this country are nearly 400,000
nore boys than girls of 14 years of
age, of whom 399,500 have signi-
ficated as mining engineers to
becoming mining engineers.
As a teacher, Professor Haworth wins the hearts of his students, not only by the work given, but by the mutual understanding between teacher and pupil. The father's words of faith and consequently the students call him "Daddy." His loyalty to the University and to the state are to be noted as well as his broad sympathies with the students and their interests. Many close friends have taught him at the faculty, but greatest of all to him has been the companionship and assistance of Mrs. Haworth. In sympathy with his work and a constant inspiration for him to do more and better things, Dr. and Mrs. Haworth have shared that he has never been recorded but is of nimble value to Kansas.
RECORD COST THE MEET
His services to his fellow-men have been partly, without monetary remuneration, and must be paid for by future generations. Of organizations for the advancement of science, and honorary education, he is the professor. Haworth is a member of many.
Rodkey Lowered Time in Half Mile and Weakened Himself for Relay
WORLD HURDLE TIME CUT
Bob Simpson Broke 50-yard High Hurdle Record
It was at the finish of the half mile in Friday night's meet, "Fred Rodkey makes a new record of 1 minute, 58 and 4-5 seconds in the half mile," called the announcer to the press box.
sas by killing himself for the relay,' remarked a great newspaper authority on track athletics in the Valley.
Exactly fifty minutes later the prediction came true when after fighting Radford Pitt, the Tiger's anchor man in the relay, Rory McGuinness hit at the finish, losing the relay by inches and with it the meet by a score of 45 to 40.
But forty eight hours afterwards it's easy to tell how a track meet could have been won. The failure of the dope to run true and give Kansas more room than it had big upset of the meet and the deciding factor in the Tiger victory. In its advance story of Friday night the Kansan showed how Kansas could win without the relay but included a second round that was a table of points. With that single exception the meet's points were distributed exactly as forecasted but that one upset enabled Missouri to tie Kansas without the final relay instead of giving the Jayhawker squad another point which would have meant victor.
Four Missouri-Kansas indoor dual meets record went by the boards in Friday night's meet, including the world's record established by Bob Simpson in the fifty yard high hurdles. The Bosworth flyer's time was 5 and 4-5 seconds in the event and he was identical with that he made a few minutes previous in the low hurdle event, a much easier race.
Rodley sent the dual half mile record reeled badly when he lowered Lester Bermonds 1911 time of 2 minutes, 2 and 2-5 seconds to 1:58 4-5. The other two dual records were both 30 minutes long. The record of 52 2-5 being jointly made by Daggy and Wyatt when they ran a great dead heat in the quarter. The old time was 52 4-5 made by Shannon Douglass, also of Missouri, in 1908. This race, the upset of the meet saw the pair of Tigers taking the lead and coming from the last and even giving Campbell and O'Leary a lookin'.
The fourth and final record was scored in the great relay finish and the quartette of Tigers, Eaton, Daggy, Wyatt, and Pittam, reduced the time from 3:35 to 2:29 2-5 three seconds from the outdoor relay time made in last year's mcCook Field meet with the Tigers.
Another new record would probably have been established in the mile by Junk Herriotti but for a bad error an official who added an extra lap to the race by mistake. The error almost proved costly for Cargill Sproull, Herriotts' running mate set a fearful pace from the start and was nearly passed by the finish line. The time in the event was recorded as 4:48 but without the extra lap would have been at least a second lower than the 4:34 indoor record made by Herriotti in last year's Convention Hall meet.

NEWTON WINS TROPHY
GIRLS SCORE
Prove Superior to Iola Baskettoossers After Neck and Neck Race
Fifty-four Teams Take Part in Tournament
Tournament
It took an extra five minute period on the end of the final game to decide the victors of the ninth annual basketball tournament of the University of Michigan. The Newton high school players showed that they had more endurance than the Iola five by scoring five points while the Iolans were scoring two. They lost to the Merrill championship as a result of the 51 to 48 score of the final game.
The game was a hard battle from start to finish. Both teams showed that the strain of three hard games in one day was too much for them, but it was enough for two of the two. The crowd was for the most part with the Newton bunch because of the fight they showed in spite of the early lead which the Iolans took, and not only that, but also for the Iola live and Newton had no trouble in scoring in this period.
The game started off with a rush with both teams fighting desperately. The Iola squad soon took an early lead which was not enough to win the first half ended 26 to 20 in their favor. But Newton had the endurance and started the second half by taking the lead for the first time in the game. From then on, Newton's team played better and the gun was sounded when the score stood 46 all. An error in the scorer's book caused a heated argument between the rival coaches and the tournament officer. The final declared a tie. The five minute session resulted and Iola did not have a chance. Had Ardie Hall, the Iola free thrower, been able to hit the basket consistently in the last half of the session would have been unnecessary.
ROSEDALE WINS GIRLS' CUP
Rosedale high school won the girls championship of the big tourney by defeating the Ellmore team in the finals Saturday afternoon 47 to 27. Rosedale played the tournament and the final game was no exception. Chanute, Arkansas City, Sterling and the other champions of former years did not have a chance with the two teams went to the finals in this year's meet.
But the girls' games—well men man was barred from witnessing these games so the scores are the only part of the games which can be described accurately. These show that some close games were held.
As for the success of the 1916 tour nament it was the greatest ever. Thirty-six boys' teams and eighteen girls' teams actually took part in the tour nament than played last year. The financial results of the meet will have to be determined later but the crowds for all the games were larger than ever before. The different teams were scattered across the campus, they were in Lawrence. Fraternities, sororities and clubs opened their doors to the visitors and gave the high school people a glimpse of University life as it is. Boarding houses did a wonderful business during the summer; many future boarders were hunted un.
VARSITY TEAM RESTS ALL STARSES
they played their annual exhibition game for the visiting high school folk Saturday afternoon. This proved an easy victory for Hamilton's five and showed that the All-Stars were "old-stars" as at this point in the season, in the fact that their men were all forwards. They could not get a pair of guards for the game and some of Hamilton's former forwards had to play guard. But in spite of that the team scored a 37 to 25 victory on the Stars.
VARSITY TEAM BESTS ALL-STARS
Another feature of the afternoon's entertainment was an exhibition high jump by Richard Treweke, the Varsity star. Dick made some beautiful slides, but he spite of the fact that he had taken a hard work out in Kansas City the night before. Treweke cleared six feet on the first trial which is only one inch lower than the K. U. record which was established only sixteen hours before.
SOFHOMORES STAGE DANCES
The dancers take on a special exhibition by students of the sophomore class who have been working under the direction of Dr. Alice Goetz. The solo, duet and group pieces were performed as a class made a great hit with the visitors.
SOPHOMORES STAGE DANCES
*Only one incident marred the success of the big tournament and that was a slight one. The large loving cups which are presented to the winners and the runners-up did not move from the location to be done away with. The cups will be forwarded to the winners as soon as they arrive.

"The lunch room for women in the basement of Fraser Hall will not be refurbished until this summer," said Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women today. "There are as many as thirty women who use the room in the winter, now that spring is near, the number who bring their lunches has decreased. Since before long they will be wanting to eat doors, I believe they will not want to touch before the end of the semester to go to the trouble and expense of getting it remodeled at present."
Today fifteen or twenty women were eating in the vacated classroom in the basement of Fraser, which has been serving for a lunch room.
Magnesium Industry Booms
Magnesium Thiosulfate of magnesium in the manufacture of aeroplanes and war dirigibles has increased the importance of the magnesium industry to such an extent that its annual production now approaches one million dollars.
Prof. P. V. Faragher brought out these facts in a talk on "The Effects of the European War on the Chemical Club." He spoke at the Chemical Club Wednesday afternoon.
He reviewed the coal tar dye situation, the manufacture of nitrates and explosives, and the increased activity in the metallurgy of mercury.
