TO BUILD ON sand
Hutchinson Men Say Biblical
Reference Is Mistake.
Pressure of Five Tons to Square
Foot Given Base.

Hutchinson, Kan, Nov. 2S.-Hutch-
inson sand makes just as firm a base
to build on as granite.
And this, notwithstanding the
scriptural injunction to build on rock
instead of sand. Engineers scientific
ally. proved what Hutchinson contrac-
tors have long maintained, that the
sandy soil under Hutchinson is just
as firm a building base as rock.
A careful test was made by en-
gineers of the character and hrmness
of the soil at the corner of First and
Main, where the Rorabaugh-W1ley
Co.'S new eight story building is to
be erected.
The test showed that there was not
the slightest settlement although a
pressure of five tons to the square
foot was applied which is much more
pressure than the building itself will
have.
An excavation of several feet had
been made for one of the footings or
the building. At the bottom of this
excavation a pedestal constructed OF
heavy beams was erected. The base
of this pedestal was exactly one foot
square. On the broad, table-lfke top
of the pedestal were piled 100 sacks of
cement, weighing 100 pounds each,
total weight of 10000 pounds, or five
tons.

Concordia, Kan, Nov. 25.-Flre
Chief Stocker says that 1T Is q mis-
take for the city councilmen or any
one else to think that the resignation
Of the fire company may be averted
by any action which the council and
mayor might take with reference TO
the poll taxes of the members OF the
company. The resignation as pre-
scented to the council, to take effect
December 8, is not contingent upon
anything but the arrival Of the said
3rd day Of December, and 1t is the
ultissimo ultimatum. The company
has resigned, quit, and that is all there
is to it.
If the council should decide to re-
NIT the poll tax and serve an engraved
notice Of such remittance, wrapped In
a five dollar bill to each and every
member of the company, no erect
would be had upon the resignation. :.
The fire company says that the polI
tax is not the only grievance. The
boys did not like the system of being
paid so much fire and are displeased
with the frequent tendency which the
council has shown to criticise their
bills and the failure to provide up to
date equipment. According to the
members of the company, Concordfa

The suggestion is being made by
the business men that now would be
an opportune time for the installation
of an up to date paid fire department.

cost to the taxpayers would be more
than compensated for in the reduction

ALIEN COLLEGE STUDENTS.
Last Year 1856 Came From FOREIGN
Lands to Complete Education.

Among the regular students at
American colleges and universities
during the year 1911-12 were 1855
from foreign lands.
OF this number 1888 were under
graduates; 249 had been graduated
here and were pursuing further stud
les; 624 were graduates of foreign
universities doing graduate work
here.
The constituency of this group of
young men who had come to the
United States to study is interesting.
Naturally, we find that the neighbour
ing countries sent many-Canada S9S,
Mexico 294, the West Indies 698 1t
is gratifying to know that $40 came
from China and AIS from Japan.
There were 1913 Filipinos who ought
to take back to their countrymen a
better understanding of the United
States, whether or not they acquiesce
in its policies toward their native land.
The 21 Koreans who will return to
their unfortunate land ought to be
equipped to do something for it's ele-
walton. These are all Understandable.
But what are 143 young Germans do
ing away from their own universities,
popularity reputed the worlds most
enlightened centers of science and
philosophy?
1t is probable that few hundred
of the foreign students in our schools
eliminated, the number, probably A.
900, who come to the United States to
equip themselves for the work in their
own countries, promises much for the
influence of our ideas upon the rest
of the world, a better understanding
of this country abroad, in Europe and
in the far east.-World's Work.

FALLS ON LIVE WIRE.
Boy Was PoI<ing 1t With a Stick to
Make Sparks Fly.

Kansas City, Nov. 23.-Earl Run
yam Walker, II years old, climbed an
electric light pole in the rear of his
home today and looped a wire over
a current main which was not insulat-
ed. Then he climbed down from the
pole and poked the grounded end of
his wire with a stick to make the
sparks fly.
Then Earl stumbled and fell on the
wire. His body became rigid and the
other children with him fed with
fright. John Gibbs, a mail carrier,
saw what had happened. He seized
the boy to move him from the wire.
The current knocked the postfnan
down and stunned him. But in a mo-
ment he was on his feet again. He
tore his coat off, wrapped it around
the wire and pulled the wire off the
boy.
doctor was called but when he
arrived the boy was dead. He was
son of Mrs. Beatrice Walker, a widow.
