FISH HATCHERY TO BE IMPROVED
REGENTS ARE IN REGULAR SESSION TODAY
Committee on Hatcheries Reports Scientific Improvements Needed-Glenn Given Absence.
All the members of the Board of Regents are meeting today to take up regular routine business. The fish hatchery committee composed of Regents Foley Kimball, and Elwood, reported the results of an investigation made by them together with Prof. L. L Dyche, warden of the hatchery. Prof. Dyche had urged that in order to have a thoroughly up-to-improvements must be made and date and modern hatchery certain several tracts of land must be acquired. The committee reported that there were about fourteen acres of water in ponds and tanks that were supplied from the Ninnescah river which was ordinarily full of pure and clean water. It was pointed out however that the feeding and draining of these ponds was too primitive and that the intake of the water was below the outlet of the city sewers and that the banks of the mill race were in a badly dilapidated condition. All these things tended to make the water for the hatchery contaminated and polluted.
It was proposed that the state either entirely dispose of the hatchery or that the plant be enlarged and remodeled common surprise with the dignity of Kansas. According to the committee the appropriation by the last legislature was sufficient to place the plant, upon a scientific working basis and the warden was authorized to attempt to purchase at least eight acres of land to the west and seven acres of swamp land to the south that may be used as a reservoir.
Besides discussion over the hatchery the regents grantee Prof. P. A. Glenn of the department of entomology a leave of absence for six months.
The recommendation of Dean Sudler of the School of Medicine was adopted thart the University Hospital at Rosedale be closed during the summer months. The building of the new hospital at Rosedale will cause much confusion and it was deemed advisable to close for the summer.
The committee on health recommended that the University discontinue the infirmary in the building now used. It was decided to fit up the house now occupied by Prof. Flint and use it for an infirmary next fall. Grayson & Reinsch of Lawrence were granted the contract for the metal roofing for the power plant and the mechanical laboratory. The contract for the corridors, smoke stacks, steps, and airways of the hospital at Rosedale was let to Chas. Stillwell of Rosedale for $2,546.50.

MINING ENGINEERS SECURE RESCUE CAR
AT REQUEST OF STUDENTS EXHIBITION IS PLANNED
Equipped With Modern Apparatus—Used to Minimize Accidents in Mines.
The rescue car of the United States Bureau of Mines will be in Lawrence on May 25. This is one of several cars maintained by the Bureau of Mines for rescue work in case of mine disasters. It is equipped with all kinds of modern apparatus suitable for use in mines in which explosions have taken place or in which fires are burning. The use of these cars is the most recent effort of the government to minimize the fatal results of coal mine disasters. The cars are stationed at central points in the different coal mining districts and can quickly reach any mine at which they are needed.
The cars are equipped with oxygen helmets, pulmotors, safety lamps, and hospital supplies. The oxygen helmet is an apparatus by the use of which the wearer is supplied with fresh air for breathing and is protected from the poisonous gases resulting from fires and explosions. The supply of oxygen lasts for about two hours and until it is exhausted the wearer is entirely independent of the surrounding air. It is thus possible to reach parts of the mines which would otherwise be inaccessible.
The pulmotor is used to establish respiration in cases of suffocation. It is attached to the mouth of the sufferer and, by alternate pressure and suction, fills the lungs with fresh air or oxygen and empties them. The effect is far superior to that obtained by the manipulations commonly employed in cases of drowning or suffocation.
This car is now making a tour of the mining districts of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas and will be stationed at some central point. It visits Lawrence at the invitation of the Department of Mining Engineering for the purpose of demonstrating the use of rescue apparatus. It will be open to all visitors and demonstrations will be given for the instruction of students. It is hoped that large numbers will visit the car. Later announcement will be made of the location and the hours of demonstrations.
The crew consists of men trained in mine rescue work and the treatment of the victims of mine explosions.
MEDIGS ARE WATCHFUL
Spies Met With Water From Upper Window.
It has always been conceded that the Medies are the worst "cut ups" on the hill, and the other night, according to the story of two students, they made good their reputation. The two men in question, decided that they would like to inquire into the arts and mysteries of dissection. They had heard many times of the rude way in which visitors to the dissecting rooms were treated. Stories were afloat of inquisitive persons emerging from this room with all sorts of human material stuffing their pockets. Not wishing to go through a like experience for each of them possessed only one suit of clothes and yet desiring greatly to satisfy their curiosity, they put their heads together and laid plans. They would creep up under cover of darkness and, through the basement windows, watch the Medies in their wild nightly orgies.
Shortly after dusk they crept softly around the south end of Fraser and made their way towards the dissecting room of the Medical building. A watchful eye, however, had perceived them and preparations for a reception were immediately made. Already the spies had dropped flat on the grass in front of one of the basement windows, and were eagerly devouring the sights within.
On the second floor, a window directly above the watchers was gently raised. One end of a hose slid silently over the window sill and a stream of water spouted forth. The silent forms at once became lively and quickly disappeared around a corner of the building.
Charles Ebnother, a sopnomore, has pledged Phi Beta Pi one of the two medical fraternities.
