They Can't Get the Dope— Bug Banes Make Them
When is a poison not a poison?
When is a poison not a poison?
If you go down to the drug store and buy a package of powder that is labeled "Sure Death to Bugs," you expect results in the way of a decrease in the insect population about the premises. But when the bugs thrive on the so-called death dealing potion and like it so well that they will come and eat it out of your hand, it makes you pretty hot doesn't it?
All this trouble is going to end Over in the drug laboratory they are prying into these much advertised bug banes. They are experimenting on real live bugs. This sounds like cruelty, but in the moss cases alleged "rough on cock-roaches" gives the poor insects a taste of luxury that hitherto has been unknown to them. Of course this isn't exactly right, as it is likely to creat a tendency among the bugs to live beyond their means and when the law is enforced which requires the standardization of destroying agents, the delicious powder and paste now in use will no longer be on the market and the cock-roache; with their many cousins will die from hunger or die from sadness.
Dean Sayre read a paper on this subject at the last meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science at Pittsburg. This paper showed the relative value of various well known insect destroyers, including ordinary insect powder, also known as Pyrethrum, powdered bug bane, often spoken of as Cimicifuga, and a much advertised "death to bugs" potion now on the market.
Dean Sayre's Paper.
Sulphur when burned quickly and completely gets the bugs in great style, but what woman is going to stand for having her lace curtains discolored just to get rid of a few gryllidae. Of course the delicate fabrics in a room could be taken out, but it is a world old custom among the bug race to deposit the eggs in just such places. You have heard a lot about formaldehyde; well forget it at once its average is only 10 per cent as good as that of sulphur. Carbolic acid distributes death in a lavish manner but as it is used it also has its disadvantages. When sprayed upon a plant it not only sends the insect inhabitants to the happy hunting grounds, but makes an end to the plant.
The most of these death dealing potions are recommended for use in hotels, wardrobes, jails and other public institutions where the wily insects combat the ingenuity of worthy house-keepers.

Dockeray
"A person is more efficient in metal work after a little fatigue than he is when supposedly fresh," said Mr. Dockeray of the psychology department, who is doing research work on fatigue.
The person on whom the experiments are being conducted is given some mental work such as adding or multiplying a string of figures and is timed. He is then worked on lifting machines and other tiring devices for a specific space of time and record is again taken of his mental ability. It has been found in the work so far that after a few minutes of fatigue the person does better mental work. Experiments have been conducted as far as 15 minutes of work. At the end of that time the person is not able to walk down the hill. It is the intention to work them as long as 30 minutes after which the person will be so fatigued that he cannot raise him self from the floor.
"It will probably be some time before the experiments will be completed," said Mr. Dockeray with a smile, "because the student or professor doesn't like to sacrifice himself to that extent even in the aid of science."
CANNOT SECURE PROFESSOR
HART FOR CHAPEL HERE
It was announced today that Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, editor of American History, will not be able to talk in chapel this month, because all the chapel dates are filled. However, efforts are being made by Professor Hodder to secure Professor Hart to lecture here when he passes through Kansas on his way to Colorado College where he will deliver a series of lectures

WE'VE MOVED UP TWO
Kansas Was 20th But Now Is 18th Among Great Universities.
One hundred and twenty-four complete courses are now offered. Twenty-two new ones, including Journalism, Italian, English, public speaking, German, and education, have been added this year. It is now possible for anyone wishing to obtain a full high school education at home, to do so as the department can furnish a complete four year high school course, with the exception of the sciences, vocational and business courses.
The Extension Division of the University has just issued its first bulletin of the year. It consists of seventy-five pages and is devoted entirely to the announcement of the correspondence courses and general information for those interested in the work.
According to enrollment statistics upon the twenty-seven leading universities of this country in 1911, Kansas is ranked eighteenth. This shows a greater growth at the University than the average of the other schools. In 1910 Kansas was ranked twentieth Columbia University as last year, continues to lead the schools. Chicago shows the greatest loss of the schools having fallen from second place in 1910 to twelfth in 1911.
Bulletin of Extension Department Just Out Announces Correspondence Work
It must be kept in mind that Minnesota, Wisconsin, California, and others, which out rank Kansas, have their agricultural college and University combined. The combined registration of Manhattan and Kansas University would place Kansas about fifth.

Work and Play Join Hands at Rosedale Training
Seniors, get busy. Squires' studio now..Adv.
School
Does the life of a nurse, while in training, appear as inviting as that of the girl student in a state university? The nurses say that it does. There are between fifteen and twenty nurses in the hospital at Rosedale who have chosen that life in preference to four years at the University of Kansas.
"But the nurses in Rosedale enjoy college life as much as their sisters at Lawrence," said a graduate nurse today. The hospital is situated on a hill by trees. The scene from the hospital is equaled only by that from Oread.
"The nurses life is not all even and menotonous. We have two social evening's a week, one on Saturday night, and one on a mid-week night, Tuesday. On these nights everyone who is not on special duty, forgets his cares and enters into the enjoyment with no thought of a W. S. G. A.
How They Get In
Admittance to the training school of Rosedale, requires certificates from the applicants' instructors in school; from her pastor and from her medical attendant. For entrance, at least a two-year course in medicine and without this admittance is difficult.
There are two phases of the work o the nurse; the practical and the theoretical. Sixty hours of practical work during the week is required, and this follows somewhat the work done in the home economics department. The theoretical work, four hours a week, is carried on under the direction of the University. This includes lectures, recitations and laboratory work.
The nurses in Rosedeale pass through three years of training, and then leave the school to seek their fortunes for themselves.

IOWA UNION ORGANIZATION
It is Reported to be in a Flourishing Condition at That University.
The Iowa Union organization is proving itself to be an efficient establishment of that institution and is in a flourishing condition. The cozy, comfortable lounging room which is supplied with the current copies of all the leading newspapers and magazines is being used more and more every day.
Speaking of the dining privileges and service of the organization, the Daily Iowan, says: "It is beyond question of doubt that the Iowa Union furnishes the best dining service in the city."
