INDUSTRIAL SURVEY
One Hundred High School Students
Are Engaged in the Work
in Topeka.

An industrial survey of the trades
and professions represented in Topeka
was begun Friday afternoon by 100
high school students under the direc-
ton of J. F. Kaho, vocational coun-
selor and instructor in the Topeka
high school, and Herman H. Beneke,
instructor in economics and civics. It
is believed that the city can be covered
in a week. The findings of the stu
dents will then be compiled and the
Information will be used in acQuaint-
ing students with the opportunities
that are open to them in their own
city.
So far as is known the survey com
menced Friday morning is the first of
it's kind ever taken in Topeka For
some time instructors in the school
have felt the Importance of having
access to information that would
show what Topeka has to offer the
young man who leave the high school.
The students were furnished with
blanks carrying all questions that the
directors are anxious to become en-
lightened on. The young men and
women merely have to call on the
various business and professional men
in the city, explain the movement,
and leave the blank.
Girls outnumber the boys on the
committee which is making the sur
vey of the city. From the economics
were chosen to assist in securing the
information. OF this number one
third are boys. Sixteen pupils were
drawn from class in commercial
geography. The second quota is even
ly divided between the boys and girls.

Extra Officers Needed; Can't

Crowds at All Stations.
The chief recruiting station at Scot.
land Yards remained open until early
today handling the great crowd of
recruits that formed in line yesterday.
AT a. m. today offices were open
that had been lined up for more than
an hour.
Conspicuous in this crowd were sew
eral men in silk hats, dozens of bank
clerks and many professional men.
In South London, the crowd that
gathered before daybreak exceeded
that at Scotland Yards. Young men
and middle age men, married and sin
gle, enlisted by the thousands.
Recruiting in provincial cities went
on almost all night, where thousands
enlisted.
Women school teachers were press
ed into service as assistants to the re-
cruiting officers in Glasgow, where
great crowds stood in the rain waiting
TO be enrolled. At Leeds, 800 extra
recruiting clerks were on duty.
No one knows even approximately
the result of the recruiting campaign
except Lord Derby. He refused to
make any statements today and said
that no figures will be made public
until ne completes his report for the
cabinet tomorrow. On this report
probably will depend the decision of

vision that the Missouri commission
concur in the order, there is little
change in the ruling in July. The
ruling calls for a rate of twenty three

Sufficient Gas CHE" Says.
Bristow is convinced that the gas
company receivership should terni-
nate and makes a suggestion to that
effect. He is also convinced that there
is sufficient gas available to maintain
the gas company for a period of at
least twelve years and pay the original
investors 1O.46 per cent In deciding
discarded the creditors agreement
which was recognized authoritatively
by the state at the time of its adoption.
As a result of the numerous findings,
it is recommended that the courts dis
solve the receivership and turn the
property, back to the original owners.
In his opinion, the commission
also held that there is an adequate
and available supply of gas in the
fields adjacent to those operated by
the gas company and that it only re-
mains for the gas company to tap this
territory that the demands of the con-
sumers may be met.
There is reason to believe" says
the Bristow order that if the Kansas
Natural Gas company, under the re-
ownership, had been competently and
efficiently managed. it would today be
able to supply all the cities on the line
with a reasonable supply of gas with
a fair profit at tn rates which pre-
vailed in the past. But instead of
doing this, they have wasted their time
and the resources of the company in
legal controversies and in excessive
and in many instances unnecessary re-
expenses"
That is the reason given by the com
mission in his order for an increase
in the rates.
c. T. Foley suggested a thirty cent
rate. But the suggestion was not

MUzzLE The DOGS.
Commissioner Porter Has Is
sued Sweeping Order.
Is Determined to Wipe Out the
HydrOphObia Epidemic.

When the last legislature enacted
the law making dog personal prop
erty it put crimp in the most ap-
proved methods of handling a mad
dog scare. Heretofore, when city Of
ficials have thought it to be to the
best interests of the city to kill a dog
the dog has been killed But killing
off personal property indiscriminately
is something different.
The present city officials have run
up against that snag in handling the
present epidemic of rabies. City At
torney George Hayden is confident
that there is some way out and is
looking the matter up. But for the
present no dogs will be killed unless
they have developed rabies. Suspects
will simply be held for development.
A lot of dogs were bitten by the Linger
dog east of Topeka and some of them
have developed rabies. Officials are
of the opinion that they should all be
killed but they will not be for the
present
Commissioner w. L. Porter put into
effect today an order requiring the
muZzling of all dogs inside the city
limits and intends to enforce it to the
letter in that part of town where mad
dogs have appeared. Monday he will
put second man at work on the dog
problem. The new man will hunt up
all stray dogs and if he cannot find
their owners will-do something else;

new COMET seen
Washburn Observers Among
First in Country to Locate 1t.
They Have Been Able to Make
a Photograph of 1t.

It is announced that a new comet
has been discovered by astronomers
near the Cape of Good Hope. The
latest luminous tailed sky flyer has
been sighted by Professors Petit and
Woods of Washburn college through
the schools telescope which is the
largest in the state. Sufficient in
formation has not yet been obtained,
however, to enable scientists to de-
termine just what direction the latest
heavenly body is taking.
The first announcement of the dis
covery of the new comet was carried
in press dispatches early this week.
Apparently the news had been sent to
England first and was held up there
for several days by censorS. Two days
after the story was published in news
papers throughout the country,
covery of a bulletin from Harvard
university. Immediately Washburn
professors and students trained the
huge glass of the observatory toward
the eBlt in Orion just north of which
the latest body was first seen
Thursday night, Professors Woods
and Petit not only sighted the comet
but were able to photograph it. 1t is
said to possess what is known
fantail and is believed to be headed
toward the earth. This latter infor-
nation is deduced from the fact that
several days after its discovery the
comet apperS TO nave maze some de-
velopment.
Until at least three observations
have been made no definite inforna-
ton about the comet can be secured,
Professor Petit says. He believes,
however, that with fairly clear wealth
er the observations can be made in
less than a week. When they have
been made, it will not only be possible
to determine the direction it is taking,
but the professors will be able to COM
pute its rate of speed and all other
information necessary to q full de-
Scription.
So far as Washburn has been able

first in the country to sight the --latest
astral body. Conditions have not been

ward, Chicago and ether eastern uni
versities, it is i,.7Iie'-ed.
Harry 1. Woods, one of the first
men in the country to see the newest
comet, has been at the head of the de-
partments of astronomy and physics
in Washburn colelger for years. E,ii-
son Petit, who has taken a prominent
part in the observations made through
the Washburn telescope, is an instruc-
tor in the same department. Mr.
Petit came to the school a year ago
from western Nebraska.

the interest out of it. They put an of
