PLANS TO IMPROVE FISH HATCHERIES
UNIVERSITY ENGINEERS DEVISE PIPING SYSTEM.
State Warden L. L. Dyche Is Seriously Handicapped at Present by Insufficient Water.
If the plans and specifications which have been recently drawn by Prof. W. C. Hoad, and N. T. Veatch, Jr., of the School of Engineering, under the direction of State Game Warden L. L. Dyche, are approved by the legislature now in session, the future fish of Kansas will have just grounds to be truly thankful, since these plans call for an entire rebuilding of the state fish hatchery at Pratt
Ever since Warden Dyche took hold of the hatcheries he has been greatly handicapped by the present conditions, and he is making an effort to put the hatchery on a working basis. At present the water supply comes from an aban doned mill race, which is in a very poor state of repair, so bad in fact, that the keepers cannot tell when they will find their water supply entirely cut off.
The new plans call for the construction of a new pipe line,which will take the water from further up stream, thereby giving a greater fall, and supplying more water to the main lake, from which it is distributed to the other ponds. The new pipe line will be made of 18-inch tile and will have a total length of 10,260 feet. It is estimated that it will deliver something over two million gallons of water per day. This amount of water will remove the disadvantage of lack of water.
A new and larger system of pipe lines connecting the several ponds is to be built. At present the pipes are of such small capacity that it requires from four to six weeks to drain the larger ponds, which made them practically useless, as far as fish hatching was concerned.
In talking of the proposed improvements, Mr. Veatch said: "The new supply will allow the men at the hatchery to know exactly the amount of water they have at their disposal, making it possible to refill and empty the ponds, and change fish, all of which are very necessary for the best results in fish raising. Above all, it will give them a sufficient amount of good, cold, wholesome water at all times."
SHOULDER DISLOCATED.
Miss Ransom Thrown When Her Horse Became Frightened.
The residents on a certain part of Quincy street were very much excited yesterday. The cause of the excitement was a young lady, a horse, and an automobile. The young lady was riding the horse along this street and an automobile being driven in the opposite direction. When they met the trouble started. The heretofore gentle steed became frightened and began to prance. The young lady tried in vain to keep her seat, but the horse persisted and she was thrown, dislocating her shoulder.
Incidents like this may happen, every day to young ladies whose only experience in the art of riding is obtained at a riding school. But the funny part of this story is that this young lady never went to a riding school. She never even took a correspondence course in one. Her name is Miss Mabel Edith Ransom, the young lady who rode all the way from Perry, Ok., to Lawrence to attend the University. And the steed that threw her yesterday was the gentle steed that carried her on this long journey.
FOR LEATHER INVITATIONS.
Seniors Will Discuss an Elaborate Announcement.
The senior class will hold a meeting in chapel on Friday at 12:15 o'clock. The subject of the meeting is to make the assessment and to discuss the advisability of buying leather-bound invitations. Heretofore the invitations have been paper-backed and a movement has been made among some of the members of the class for the more elaborate and more expensive form. The price of those with the paper backs will be ten or fifteen cents while those with the leather will cost twenty-five cents. The treasurer states that the assessment this year will be one dollar if the class expects to carry out their present plans regarding the Senior fare, class day exercises and the sweaters that will be given to the members of the foot ball team.
The girls who live in the district east of Massachusetts street, were entertained last night at the home of Rebecca Passon, on Rhode Island street.
TOLD OF ENROLLMENT.
Professor Sisson Delivered Chapel Address Tuesday.
L. E. Sisson, associate professor of rhetoric, spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on "The Problems and General Principles of Enrollment." He said there are four causes which lead to difficulties in enrollment, namely, university regulations, conflict of hours, limit of courses, and conflict of outside interests. A policy of reform is not called for, but a wise adjustment between conflicting interests is needed, he declared.
"there is greater danger in scattering too much than in concentrating on a certain subject. Do not set up a number of intellectual camps; what you want is a well built edifice,"continued Professor Sisson. "Give a clear right of way to University work, subordinate nothing to it. A number of students that support themselves do so to get extra pocket money to spend on the nickels and other amusements. Consider the University first and make everything bend to accommodate the main purpose that you are here for."
He also emphasized the fact that it is unwise to change instructors in the middle of continuous courses. The enrollment of the College will begin Saturday January 21.
