UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIII.
TELL WEATHER CHANGE
Through Efforts of the Kansan Government Forecasts Will be Made Known
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 27, 1916.
HOIST FLAGS ON FRASER
Privilege Only Granted Where Conditions are Good
Through the efforts of the Kansan, the United States weather bureau will supply the University with daily weather forecasts. Flags for announcing the predictions to the public from the flag pole on the top of Fraser Hall have been received and will be hoisted each morning.
It is not the custom of the government to grant this privilege unless the conditions are exceptionally favorable. The fact that the University observatory for the past forty years has furnished the weather bureau with the most complete reports it gets without cost, influenced the decision.
Following is an explanation of the
siemens:
The white flag, is used to display a forecast of "fair" "generally fair", "cloudy" or "unsettled" weather. (A forecast of "fair" weather does not necessarily mean "neutral" weather; it indicates a moderate precipitation is expected.)
The blue flag is used to display a forecast of "rain" or "snow."
The blue and white flag is used to display a forecast of "showers," "probably showers," "snow furries," the precipitation will occur locally.
The black pennant, No. 4, is used with either Nos. 1, 2, or 3 to indicate temperature changes, when they are forecasted. If the forecast is for warmer or "rising temperature" this pennant is hoisted so that it will be the highest signal on the staff. If the forecast is for colder weather or "lower temperature" the pennant is the lowest signal on the staff.
If more than one kind of weather is predicted for the ensuing night and day the forecast for the night will be represented by the uppermost weather flag, and that for the next day by the flag next below. For instance, if the forecast reads, "showers on Friday, fair," the blue and white flag are hoisted with the white flag immediately below it. If the forecast reads, "showers on tonight, fair" the flag displaying should be the black penchant on top, followed by the blue flag and below that the white flag.
The cold wave flag, white with a square black center is used when the forecast contains a warning of a cold wave.
PENN PREPARES FOR BIG
ANNUAL RELAY CARNIVAL
Invitations for the annual relay carnival of the University of Pennsylvania, April 28 and 29, have been received by W. O. Hamilton, and it is possible from the present outlook of things that the local trackman Manager Hamilton is undecided what the nature of his renly will be.
If a forecast for higher or lower temperature is made for either the following night or day, the black pen will be displayed in the appropriate position, but if higher temperature is forecasted for the following night and lower temperature the next night it will be so displayed that it will indicate the temperature change for the night.
The relay races are considered the most important track and field events of the year except the intercollegiate, and last year the entry comprised eight colleges. Many attend and in the one-mile relay event the Pennsylvania team made a new record of 3m. 18s.
Dr. Alberta Corbin of the department of German, will leave Friday morning for Topeka where she will deliver an address on the need for dormitories for the women students of the state schools before the Kansas Council of Women, who will be in their annual session at that time.
Dr. Corbin to Speak
Poos to Make Inspection
Calypinists To Celebrate
F. W. Poos, on the staff of the state entomologist, will leave either today or tomorrow for Ottawa to inspect a shipment of three caribou heads from Holland. Mr. Poos is doing this work in connection with the federal government and is inspecting the importation for any plant diseases or parasites that are endangered by the orchards or trees of the state.
A post-examination recreation party will be given in Westminster Hall Saturday night. All Presbyterian teachers, and are asked to a friend.

TUMBLERS TO MEET AGGIES AND SOONERS MARCH
"The prospects of a mighty good team are favorable," said Coach Coach Stanley. He should develop into a winning bunch."
The University tumbling team will meet the State Normalms and the Aggies in a triangular tumbling match March 17. Coach H. A. Lorenzo is also trying to arrange a meet onoma, and will probably be successful.
This is the first time a meet of this kind has been entered by the University. Coach Lorenz leaves judged for the tournament, to judge the tumbling contest between the Kansas State Normals and the Oklahoma A. and M. College. While there he will complete the arrangement with the Oklahoma college if possible.
The new semester will bring an increase in the enrollment of K. U. "As far as I can know, and guess," said George O. Foster, this morning; "we will have from one hundred to one hundred and fifty new students. That is the usual number that come in a new year." The reason why there should be fewer this year. Rather is it probable that we have more."
"The team has not been picked yet and won't be for some time," said Lorenz. "I would like to see every man at all interested come out. Every one will have an equal chance to qualify."
New Students Coming
Swingle Studies Tadpoles
Wilbur Swingle of the department of zoology has been experimenting on the effect of feeding thyroid glands to tadpoles. The data compiled by Swingle was used by Prof. Allen at the meeting of the American Society for the Advancement of Science held recently in C'umbus, Ohio.
Exhibit Etchings Here
An exhibition of etchings, which have been collected from all parts of the world by the Chicago Society of Etchers, will be open to the students tomorrow. The collection fills three rooms on the third floor of the Administration Building. The exhibit has been in all of the large galleries of America. It came to Lawrence University in New Orleans. Several lectures will be given on the Art and Process of Etching by Prof. W. A. Griffith.

TO DISCUSS FLOTATION
Metallurgists to Meet at K.U. for First National Conference on Ore Reduction
NEED A CHEAPER PROCESS
High Price of Minerals Turns Attention to Improved Ideas
A national "experience meeting" in regard to the further utilization of the recent scientific discovery known as flotation, will take place at the Chemistry building tomorrow and Saturday.
Representing the University at the conference will be Professors W. A. Whitaker, George Bechic, A. C. Terill and Mr. Neal.
The conference was called by officials of the United States Bureau of Mines interested in the development of the new and more economic process of reducing mineral ores. The honor of acting as host to the Union conference was waived to the United States, as the result the activity of members of the institution's faculty in research work regarding flattening.
Representatives of the United States bureau of mines will include:D. C. Lyon and O. C. Railston of the bureau of mines at Salt Lake City, C. A. Wright, of the mine bureau at Joplin, S. P. Acree and R. C. Palmer of the forest product laboratory. Others who have written that they are interested are enrollees in the University of Wisconsin and Professors Anderson and Thornberry of the Missouri School of Mines at Rollo.
To date, most of the research work to improve the methods of flotation have been done by persons in different countries and laboratories. Little cooperation has been possible. The conference here will enable these men to get together and exchange ideas, which they hope will bring immediate commercial results. Some of the participants smoker at the University Club in honor of the visiting mining experts. George Belchic, of the State Chemical Research, with laboratories at the University is the designer of the equipment used in the preparation bases on the principle of flotation.
About $15,000,000 worth of lead and zinc laying useless in the vicinity of Galton, the leading lead and zinc manufacturer, caused Mr. Belchick to seek a new method of milling these two minerals so that the waste would be less. Mr. Belchick started his investigation by using his new machine in working order.
This new form of milling the lead and zinc, or in getting the ore in proper shape for smelting so that the waste will be comparatively easy to mix with the blown climes with water and a small amount of oil. The mixture is then agitated and a froth which contains the lead and zinc minerals ready for the smelter rises to the surface. No expensive machinery is necessary to achieve this result, so great an outlay as do those now used. It is estimated that this machine alone will save mine owners of the state a million dollars a year.
H. C. McClure, graduate of the School of Engineering of the University of Kansas, has been appointed commissioner of engineering Ohio. The appointment is effective February 1, paying $250 a month.
K. U. ENGINEER GETS A
GOOD JOB IN TOLEDO
McClure will replace the chief engineer of the city, who was appointed by the mayor. Councilmen in the city will hold dispensers of this patronage and many of them have appealed to the powers to allow the demoted chief engineer to remain, but it appears that he must, but its cabinet have decided on McClure.
For a time after leaving the University, he was employed in the engineering department of Kansas City. Shortly after this McClure was employed by the board of education at Toledo. He is president of the Toledo Society of Engineers, an engineer of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and a holder of a degree from the University of Michigan.
She's Popular
A stenographer in the office of the Registrar has been copying quizzes. It is a queer coincidence that it is also the office received offers of five pound boxes of candy, theatre tickets for the whole year, and even a proposal of marriage conditions. But woe the suction the he is an unmovable in the Rock of Gibraltar.
Inspects Wheat Crop
Paul B. Lawson of the department of ontology left this morning for a trip over the state to inspect the general condition of the wheat.
