OPEN LABORATORIES EARLY NEXT WEEK
COURSE IN HOME ECONOMICS WILL BE COMPLETE.
All Practical Work Will Be Done in the Basement of Fraser Hall.
One of the busiest persons on the bill this week is Miss Edna D. Day, head of the department of home economics, who, in addition to conducting her classes, is overseeing the fitting of the food laboratories, which she hopes to have ready for work next week. Most of the equipment for the laboratories has been stored for a week or more in the basement corridors of Fraser hall, awaiting the completion of necessary work on the new quarters of the department.
The food laboratories and model kitchen wiencell m sY w.EHM kitchen will occupy the southwest corner of Fraser hall. The laboratory will contain six double tables for the cooking utensils and gas plates; cupboards for the foods; tile-covered tables with drain boards; and tables on which microseptic and chemical tests will be made. Adjoining the laboratory will be the kitchen, equipped with a gas range, tables, and cupboard. The small dining room will be fitted out with a table, chairs, and a china closet.
Miss Day is much encouraged over the enrollment of forty-seven students in the classes of her department. At the University of Missouri, where there were no pre-requisite courses,and where classes were open to freshmen, Miss Day had only twenty-seven students in her classes at first. In the University of Kansas, courses in home economics are open only to juniors and seniors who have studied physics or chemistry I. Three courses are being offered this year: "Foods,""The Care of the House," and "Home Administration." Five additional courses will be opened next year.

"SALT RISING" ON SALE.
Noted Brand of Yeast a Commercial Success.
Henry A. Kohman, who holds the industrial fellowship in chemistry, given by the National Association of Master Bakers, has returned from the East and is ready to resume work in the department of organic chemistry.
Mr. Kohlman read a paper upon the research work he has been doing at the University of Kansas, at the annual convention of Master Bakers, which was held recently at Baltimore. His main line of investigation has been upon the manufacture of salt-rising yeast. The yeast made by Mr. Kohlman at the University has been given a try-out on a manufacturing scale by the Smith Baking company of Kansas City, Mo., and it gave entirely satisfactory results. Arrangements are being made by which this product may be placed upon the market for the general consumption of house-wives and small baking companies.
Miss Jane Bruce Porter, of Kansas City, has pledged Pi Beta Phi.
Elaborate arrangements are being made for the inauguration of Rev. Dr. Marion LeRoy Burton as president of Smith College at Northampton, Mass., on October 5. Nearly all the prominent New England schools will be represented, as well as many of those located in other states, making a total attendance of about 300 delegates. It is expected that President Lowell of Harvard will be
The University of Kansas now employs a physician to look after the health of the student body. His supervision is not only general in character, but he also keeps consultation hours at which he prescribes for students who require his care. In addition to this service, which is entirely free, the student may, at the small cost of $1.00 for the year, secure a membership in the University hospital association. This membership entitles him to receive hospital care in case of illness. The hospital is under the direction of the University physician and is in charge of a matron and such nurses as are required.
Inauguration at Smith College.
Kansas University men distinguished themselves at Harvard University last year. Dr. R. E. Seammon was the first student graduating from that institution to take his Ph. D. degree in medical sciences. R. G. Hoskins, also a graduate of Kansas, was the second. Dr. Hoskins has been appointed head of the physiology department of Starling Medical College in Missouri. It is believed that Starling College will be affiliated with the University of Missouri in a short time.
So Dr. Crumbine Is Waging War Against Them.
KANSAS STREAMS POLLUTED
Doctor S. J. Crumbine of Topeka was here Tuesday conferring with Prot. W. C. Hoad of the School of Engineering on plans concerning sewerage and water supplies for towns of the state.
The pollution of streams in southeastern Kansas by acid mine waters has become so serious a proposition that a special committee has been appointed by the State Board of Health to investigate the matter. Senator S. C. Huffman of Columbus, Dr. Crumbine of Topeka, and Prof. W. C. Hoad of the University will go next week to make a thorough examination of the streams and mines in that part of the state.
Usefulness in the World
In one of the goncic papers there was not long ago a cartoon in which the graduate home from college is represented as saying to his father: "Well, dad, I'm ready to take over the business." The young man is dressed in vociferous raiment; he swings a cane, and is followed by a bulldog. The impression conveyed by cartoons of this kind is that the young man pictured is the prevailing type at college. The typical college student is not the roystering blade shown in the carton, but a hard-working young man, not conspicuous for self-conceit, who goes forth from the institution purposing to do in a quiet way something useful in the world, and who generally does it—John MacDonald in the Western School Journal.
Thomas W. Houston, chaplain of the state penitentiary, at Lansing, has asked Prof. R. R. Price of the University extension department for a series of lectures to be given before the prisoners the third Friday of every month. The program has been arranged as follows: "The Movement in Kansas for Better Roads," Oct. 21, Prof. W. C. Hond; "The Gospel of Service," Nov. 18, Dr. W. H. Carruth; "Recent Movements in Engineering," Dec. 16, Dean Marvin; "The Making of a Kansan," Feb. 17, Prof. C. M. Harger; "The Conservation of Natural Resources," March 17, Prof. F. W. Blackmar.
HOT WATER FOR ATHLETES
Will Teach the Prisoners.
Heating Plant Built for Them on McCook
Workmen are building a heating plant in the new training quarters on McCook field. The heater, which will have a capacity of 250 gallons, will furnish hot water for the four showers in the varsity quarters and the three showers in the freshmen quarters.
Employment for Girls.
Broadening Activities.
More girls are coming to the University each year desiring to pay at least part of their expenses by their own efforts. The result of the canvass made last year of the self-supporting students was given wide publicity and has aroused interest in many quarters. One girl from a far-off Pennsylvania town wrote this summer to the employment bureau inquiring about a position, stating that she had read in a New York paper "of the number of girls in your state who work their way through college." There are immense undiscovered possibilities in new fields of work here, for the girl with initiative and determination; but even in the old fields many positions are still open. There are many town women as well as faculty women who are anxious to get help in various lines of work, and would be glad to employ students. Miss Thomas, secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association, keeps a list of such positions, and any girl desiring work can get information from her. Miss Thomas' office hours in the Rest Room (Room 114), are 9:30-12. Phone Bell 1818, or K. U. 12.
The University of Kansas was represented at the recent meeting of the Tariff Federation of the Middle West by Professor Arthur J. Boynton, of the department of sociology and economics. It is coming to be keenly realized that the University of Kansas may serve the state in many other ways than by educating young men and women, although that will always be its primary function. The expert knowledge of men on the faculty is to be used more and more to the advantage of the state in the solving of difficult problems.
The time when a university professor can not express his opinions on subjects of current interest without the danger of making enemies for his institution is fast passing away.
Prof. W. H. Johnson, high school visitor, will start on his tour of high school inspection Monday.
