To Develop Track Men.
This year a new plan which will materially assist in the selection of men for the track team will be followed. Instead of attending regular classes in the gymnasium as heretofore all who have enrolled are exercising out-doors in la crosse and cross country running. This is done to develop speed and at the same time show the best qualities of every man. Coach Hagerman will have charge of these men. This out-door work will continue until November 18 when each man will be assigned to the place for which he is best fitted. Already some excellent material in high-jumping has showed up.

N. Flint, secretary of the Association, is editor and manager.

GUINEA PIGS
UNIVERSITY WILL HAVE FARM FOR USE OF SCIENTISTS.
One Hundred Each Month to be Supplied by C. W. White— Used in Tuberculosis Tests.
The inoculation of guinea pigs to test the presence of tuberculosis in the Kansas milk supply will soon be begun by Professors F. H. Billings and F.U.Agreliius, who are conducting the analysis of milk for the State Board of Health. The guinea pig farm will be conducted by Mr.C.W. White, the University instrument maker, at his place west of town. He is under contract to supply 100 guinea pigs a month to the department if that number is needed.
The work of the milk testing laboratory thus far has been taken up with the problems of age, temperature and cleanliness of milk, but in about two weeks the tests on guinea pigs for tuberculosis will begin. This will be the first investigation ever carried on to determine whether or not there are tuberculous cows in Kansas. If the State milk supply contains the germs of the "white plague," the guinea pig farm is depended on to make the fact known.
