Must Have Water Rates to Compete
With Coast Towns - Prof.
Millis
"Under the present state of water transportation brought about by the opening of the Panama Canal and the subsequent reduction of freight rates in certain sections of the country which are affected by water competition, Kansas City and the Middle West is placed under a great handicap," said Prof. H. A. Millis, of the department of economics and commerce at the University of Kansas this morning.
"Two dangers are facing Kansas City if it cannot get water transportation to the Gulf. One is the prospect of new capital going to cities more favorably situated in the matter of freight rates. The other is the inference that what is likely to be subject to disastrous competition in many instances by firms in other cities who can ship their goods more cheaply.
"Kansas City is demanding river transportation as a matter of self-defense as I see it", Mr. Willis said. "Some of its most valuable industries such as the packing business and the implement trade are the ones which will suffer most under the present conditions. The Interstate Commerce Commission has refused to allow rates to be lowered in territory where the railroads are not competing with water traffic. This difference between land and water rates is most on heavy and bulky articles. Those are the ones that lose by heavy rates and profit must by lighter ones. Therefore the most important industries in Kansas City will lose heavily if they cannot have water rates. These industries will not expand in the face of such conditions and new business will go elsewhere.
"There is no doubt about the advantages of water transportation for Kansas City and its contributing territory and unless it can get a waterway to the Gulf, it will be laboring under a great handicap."
GRIFFITH TELLS ABOUT
CHANCELORS' PICTURES
"George Inness was the greatest of American landscape painters," said Prof. W. A. Griffith, in speaking of the pictures that are a recent addition to Chancellor Strong's office. Among these new pictures is "The Painted Lady." He told about whom David C. Preyer wrote, "He mingled color, light and air."
There is also in the group, the picture by Martin known as "The Populars," or "The Harp of the Winds." The scene is a view on the Seine and depicts the "pearly atmosphere of river scenery of northern France." Then there is "Charity" by Thayer, "February" by Twachman, "Early Morning in September" by Dwight Tryon and "Midnight Moon" by Dangerfield. Although, these are in the Chancellor's office, and not everyone has the opportunity of seeing them. Professionals with experience of splendid reproductions that are the facsimiles of famous originals and he intimated that he would really like to have the University students, including others than art students, see and enjoy them. They are on the third floor of the Administration Building, in the rooms in the northwest corner.

CANAL EFFECTS KANSAS CITY MAKE PIPETTES IN FOWLER
Instruments Used by Scientists for Isolation of Bacteria Being Manufactured in Shops
A pipette, an instrument used by scientists for the isolation of bacteria is now being made in Fowler Shops. The pipette was invented in 1905 by Prof. M. A. Barber, '91, who was professor of bacteriology and pathology in the University for six years.
The pipette is a mechanical arrangement fastened to the stage of a microscope, by means of which very minute objects like bacteria can be picked up and transferred to the surface. One is looking through the microscope the bacteria he operates the pipette by a system of very fine screws,
"The importance of the invention," said Prof. W, C. Stevens, of the department of botany, "can be readily seen when one realizes that such a thing as isolating a single bacterium was before, almost unheard of. Before mentionation of the pipette the bacteria had to be introduced in fluid and spread out, then colonies allowed to spring up from the individual bacterium.
"Professor Barber has his technique down to such a fine point that he has picked up a single spore of the white fungus-disease of the chinch bug and injected it into the leg of the bug. He has also isolated mutants from yeast and has grown pure new strains of yeast."
Professor Barber's first appointment in the University was in 1895, and his appointment to the rank of professor of bacteriology and pathology, and director of the clinical laboratories in 1906. About four years ago he was given a two years' leave of absence but did not return at the expiration of that time. At present the study of tropical diseases is the focus of his attention. He is working under the Rockefeller Foundation for this work, in the Malay Archipelago.
