ONE PARENT IS A "CAPITALIST"
AND ONE MAKES A LIVING BY POLITICS.
As Shown by Registrar's Statistics, Farming is Vocation Most Largely Represented at K. U.
According to the statistics gathered by Registrar Geo. O. Foster, there is one student whose father is a capitalist. Of the 1930 students who filled in the blank "Oeupation of Parent," 1450 gave the information sought.
Of these, 334 (261 men and 73 women), give the occupation of their parents as farming. The fathers of 130 are merchants, of 80, real estate dealers; of 82, lawyers; of 4, physicians; 51, bankers; 45, teachers; 48, salesmen; 34, ministers; 34, contractors; 23, nurses; 22, lumbermen; 20, carpenters; 12, grocers; 11, insurance agents; 11, millers; 10, grain dealers; and so on down to the one student who gave his father's occupation as "politics." there are 209 different occupations mentioned.
The number of parents who have retired is 134. One interesting fact shown by the statistics is that the mothers of 296 students are widows.

SUSPECTS CYANIDE.
But Dr. Bushong Says Test Is Not
Conglusive.
Professor F. W. Bushong, of the department of chemistry, who is in the employ of the state conducting a chemical analysis for cyanide poison in the viscera of a Mrs. Buek, who died about two weeks ago at her home at Greensburg, Kan., said Saturday morning that his tests so far had not proved the absolute presence of cyanide in the body, but that he, personally, was convinced that it was a case of cyanide poisoning.
He thinks the tests failed to show the presence of the poison because of the property of cyanide to decompose and decay within twenty-four hours, under favorable conditions. Tests for other poisons will be made and it is thought the final report will be prepared within the month.
