of such letters that have come to this
school since the excitement Of last

4 A similar demand comes from the
food laboratories and from the United
States department of agriculture for
men trained in food analysis. Also
during the past few weeks, Professor
Laid has had more than two dozen
applications for young drug clerks.
The young men of the state have UNI

Prof. @, ID. Bolley under the direc-
tion of Commissioners Laid has spent
a large portion of the summer study
ing In the laboratories of various man
ufacturing companies, whose products
come under the inspection laws Of this
state. In connection with the paint
work, Mr. Holley spent several weeks
in the laboratories and color depart
ments of the Patton Paint Co. Of Mil
waukee, the Standard Varnish Co. of
Chicago, the Picker Sublimed Lead
Co. Of Joplin, Mo-, the Carter White
Lead Co. of SChicago and also various

tooy advantage Of the opportunity to
take course Of study at Hantke's
Brewers school, one of the depart
ments of the Industrial Chemical In
stitHte of Milwaukee,. This institu-
ton having d complete brewery of its
own, furnishes an excellent opportun-
ity for studying the practical side of
the brewing industry. Through the
courtesy of the institute he was en-
abled to visit many Of the manufac-
turing plants of that city--the various
chemical works, tanneries, glue and
gelatine works, rubber factories and
the distiiling companies. In Kansas
and Missouri he secured large num-
Der OF photographs and samples from
the various lead and zinc mines and
reduction works which will be Of most
valuable assistance In the courses in
industrial chemistry that are being de-
veloped in this institution.
The college is still endeavoring to
make arrangements to carry out the
tests Of wheat and -four as provided
BY the legislature. The law which
created these tests, failed to make the
appropriation of funds wherewith to
carry on the experiments and the coli
lege Is obliged to appeal to Its private
friends and funds to do the work
called for From the support that has
come TO the institution from outside
sources during the past few days 1t is
possible that the work can be carried
on.
