Girl VIII Take Regular En-
cheering Work at X. q.
Only Once Before Has Woman
Taken This Course.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 27.-NIiss
Marion Manley, last year freshman
in the college, entered the engineering
school this week and will devote her
whole time to regular freshman en-
cheering work along with several
hundred other entering engineers.
I shall take a year of elementary
work here to get the hang of things
Miss Manley said today, but expect
to enter the University of Illinois
next year, where 1 shall specialize in
architectural work. 1 have no fear
OF being unable to do the work and
rather expect to enjoy it,
Miss Manley will carry the regular
freshman work, consisting of almost
half mathematics, rhetoric, language,
and mechanical drawing, and will
even take all shop work required of
engineers, consisting of blacksmith
ing and forging first term, and wood
turning and pattern making second
term. The course is by no means an
easy one, but Miss Manley will take
II all.
Miss Manley's case is almost unique
in the history of the school one
girl before her is known to have TAX
en- such work, including shop, later
filling a good position very acceptably
with an engineering firm in Kansas

IRRIGATION WORK GROWS.
Ten Years Ago Water Could BE
Pumped Only 25 Feet.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 27.-It was
quite generally believed. few years
ago, that water could not be raised
by pumping more than 25 feet for
economical irrigation. Kansas has e
large number of plants today WheIe
the pumping heads exceed IS feet.
The developm ent in pumping for irrl-
CATION in the last few years has been
phenomenal.
1T is the natural outcome of indi-
vidual experimentation by western
Kansas land owners said H. B.
walker, drainage and irrigation eng
neer at the Kansas Agricultural col
Iege. today. ''While the results, gen
orally, have been satisfactory, in SOME
cases they have been discOuraging and
extensive to the farmer. Western
Kansas farmers have been working in
dividually. They have never met TO-
gether to discuss their successes ano;
troubles.
THE coming state irrigation meet
ing to be held at Garden City, Octo-
Der "a and Is, will offer an excellent
oDportunity for interested farmers to
learn more concerning successful well
