LARGE LAKE FOR FIRE PROTECTION
WILL HAVE CAPACITY OF 4,000,000 GALLONS.
University Pumps Can Supply 4 Eighty-Foot Streams for Forty-Eight Hours.
Ample fire protection will be turnedished the University when the reservoir lake,which is being built north of Marvin hal, is completed. north of Marvin hal, is completed. Work was begun the first of the week on the foundation for the pumping plant, which will be located at the base of the dam. When completed the lake will hold 4,000,000 gallons of water. A motor-driven centrifugal pump, with a capacity of 1,000 gallons per minute will be placed in the pumping station. It will supply water to the high-pressure pump, which is now located in the power house.
The water supply is now obtained from the city. This supply is inadequate, and should a fire break out the only force that could be obtained would be two streams to the height of Snow hall. In five minutes the force would be reduced, due to the fact that the city can not furnish enough water. With the new supply four streams can be played on any building on the campus with a duration of forty-eight hours.
The lake will cover an area of two acres and will be sixteen feet deep near the dam. The dam will be eight feet wide at the top and sixty feet wide at the base. At the west end of the dam will be a reinforced concrete bridge which will span the overflow. Around the margin of the lake will run a cinder path.
No boats will be placed on the lake, but skating will be allowed.

MISSOURI'S BAD LUCK.
One M. U. Player Had Feelings Badly Hurt During Practice.
Reports from Columbia indicate that Conch Hollenbach is not sufficiently careful $\textcircled{1}$ the feelings of his players. Holden Curtis, the most promising half-back material on the Missouri squad, turned in his suit Tuesday night because the coach told him a certain play of his was "rotten." Ewart Johnson, the 180-pound tackle, who last year was dubbed by Captain Ristine "the fiercest player that ever wore the Tiger suit," also quit the squad out of friendliness to Curtis.
This morning's express brought another lot of Persian Silks. These will probably be the last we will get, as it is almost impossible to buy a yard of Persian Silk today from the manufacturers. So we advise any one who wants Persian for waist, under lining or trimming to buy now. You will not get these at any price a little later on. A full range of prices from

ELDERKIN WELL RECEIVED.
Spoke to Large Audience at Y. M. Meeting.
A large and appreciative audience of young men greeted the Rev. Noble E. Elderkin at the Thursday evening meeting of the Y. M. song service and a solo by Professor Hubach. Dr. Elderkin C.A. in Myers Hall. After a short spoke on the subject "Belief in Unbelief."
"In religion," he said, "there is something vital that has made it persistent through the ages; if it had not possessed this vitality it could not have lived. Every man is interested in religion, a man feels that there is something that links him to the Divine. We look back and long, not perhaps for the theology of our fathers, but for the faith of our fathers. Life is measured by beliefs. No one boasts of his doubts; but men pride themselves in their faith."
After the address a business meeting was held at which the conflicting by-laws were suspended in order to elect a new president of the association immediately. On the recommendation of a nominating committee D. C. Martindell, 12, was elected to this office, being asked to resign as treasurer. H. C. Herman made a brief speech in which he stated that no pains will be spared to make these Thursday evening meetings as attractive as possible and worth the while of every University man.
DEBATERS ORGANIZE
Members of Three Societies Hold Meetings.
The debating societies of the University of Kansas held their first meetings of the year yesterday afternoon.
The members of the Cooley club meet in the practice-court room of Green hall and elected the following officers for the ensuing term of nine weeks: President, Geo. Moncolm; vice president, R. C. Davis; secretary, R. O. Lindsay; treasurer, Matt Guilfoyle.
At the meeting of the Adelphis Society it was decided to limit the membership this year. A rules committee was appointed by the president to revise the rules so that new members could be admitted only by a system of try-outs. Only those who have bad experience in debating will be admitted.
The members of the X Y Z Debating society met and elected the following to represent the society on the Debating Council: M. O Lock, A. H. Fast, J. W. Harberson, and W. M. Hughes.
Mrs. C. H. Manley, of Junction City, has been visiting her daughter, Anna, a junior in College.
By Mistake, the Reserve Supply Was Sent Out.
NO CATALOGUES.
A tardily-discovered shortage of general catalogues of the University has caused that University publication to go at a premium. The freshman who buys a catalogue as the first act of his student life is likely to have an imitator in the University itself.
Early last spring Registrar Geo, Foster laid aside 2,000 catalogues to be used this fall. The remainder of the edition was sent out to prospective students.
It was discovered only last week that the 2,000 reserve catalogues had disappeared. Through a misunderstanding they were probably sent over the state with the others. Registrar Foster immediately began a collecting tour through the different departments of the University,gathering up all catalogues that could be spared. From now on until the new book is out in the spring, the University catalogue will doubtless be the most prized volume in every department.
HAS MANY INVITATIONS.
But an Excess of Work Keeps Prof. Blackmar at Home.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar of the department of sociology has received from Gov. W. R. Stubbs an appointment as delegate to the meeting of the American Prison Congress, which will be held in Washington, D.C., next week. The first meeting of the International Prison Congress ever held in the United States will also convene at Washington next week. Prof. Blackmar is one of a committee of one hundred Americans who have charge of the arrangements for the international gathering.
Pressure of work in his department will prevent Professor Blackmar from going to Washington. No instructor has yet been appointed to take the place left vacant by the resignation of Prof. Maurice E. Parmelee, and members of the teaching force in the department are carrying extra work.
