FACTORIES WASTEFUL.
Is Claim Made by Professor Duncan in Address.
Robert Kennedy Duncan, head of the department of industrial fellowships in the Universities of Pittsburg and Kansas, in his address before the Chemical club last evening, said, "The Manufacturers in this country do not know how to treat the chemical engineers and this is one reason why the course is not more popular among the university students. This condition is bound to change in time
"The manufacturer has not yet found the profit in using the chemical engineer, since he is protected by a very high tariff and can afford to carry on his business with great waste and still compete with the foreign manufacturer."
Professor Duncan declared that as soon as the high protective tariff is removed, as it is bound to be in the course of time, there would be a greater demand for chemical engineers.
"Manufacturers here will have to compete with those of Germany, France, and Italy who are much more efficient in using waste products and are more progressive in their methods. The manufacturer in this country realizes that his protective tariff will be taken away and that his efficiency will determine his powers to compete with the foreigner and accordingly he is spending large sums of money on the industrial fellowships in the universities of this country, and it is expected the work of these chemists will enable the American manufacturer to come up to the standard of the foreign manufacturer."
DUCKY WAS DESPONDENT.
But Bird Recovers Health in Presence of Mistress.
Since Miss Mabel Edith Ransom left on her long horseback trip from Perry, Ok., to Lawrence, all has been sadness in the barnyard of the Ransom farm. Miss Ransom received many letters from her sister, Helen, stating how the pony she left behind, the chickens and ducks were pining for her. Especially was this true of one duck which a letter, received early last week, said would die if Miss Ransom did not return.
It was impossible for her to return, however, as she did not wish to subject her pony to such a hard trip so soon after the last one. The only thing to do was to send for the ailing duck. This she did, and the bird arrived Wednesday. No sooner had the duck seen Miss Ranson than it began to get better. It may be seen anytime between meals strutting up and down the twelve hundred block on Ohio street, looking as fit and spry as it was in its duckling days.
HAS MANY INVITATIONS
Kansas Women Want to Hear Miss Day's Lectures.
A popular movement over the state at present among the women is the organizing of home economics clubs and housekeeping clubs. These new clubs are anxious to hear from some one versed in home economics; consequently Miss Edna Day, director of home economics, has been flooded with invitations. Miss Day receives from two to five invitations a day. She is so busy at present with her work at the University that she has refused the majority of them. She has, however, accepted an invitation from F. D. Coburn to lecture before the annual meeting of the State Board of Agriculture, which meets the second week in January
TWO CASES OF DIPHTHERIA.
Have Developed Among the Students of the University.
C. F. Hanson of Geuda Springs, a senior engineer, became ill with diphtheria last Thursday and was removed to the University hospital, where he is still confined. An examination was made at the time he was first taken to the hospital and the bacteria was discovered. Since the disease was discovered before it had a chance to develop, Dr. Chambers, the University physician was able to check it and at the present time Hanson is considerably better. Dr. Chambers thinks that there will be no danger of the disease spreading, since Hanson's roommate has showed no symptoms of contracting the disease.
A second case of diphtheria appeared yesterday, when it was known that W. C. MacGathan, a sophomore in the college, who has been employed by Prof. Bailey as a stenographer, was taken to the hospital. His condition today is improved.

BEWARE OF THE SHOCK.
Steps of Fire Escape Charged With Electricity.
Students who have been getting in one dance hall this year via the fire escape route at Ecke's hall will be treated to a surprise the next time they try to save the customary fifty cents.
Several of the more thrifty students of the hill, figured out that they could use their money to a better advantage than paying to get into the dances on Wednesday nights. So they have been climbing the fire escapes, and after sitting out on the platform until an opportunity presented itself, stepped inside the hall.
Unfortunately for the next one that tries that stunt, the owners of the hall have charged the fire escape with a current of electricity which will convince the most thrifty that it is better to part with the necessary than fall of the fire escape to the cement walk below.
