SAVE FROST BITTEN PLANTS.
Methods of Counteracting Damage
Given by Professor Ahearn.


Given by Professor Ahearn.
Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 16.-Come
Kansas housewife! Dry those br1ny
tears and grieve no more over wliteo
petals and blackened leaves!
The damage done by the first frost
may often be repaired, according 10
M. F. Ahearn, associate professor OF
horticulture in the Kansas State Agrl-
cultural college.
eff geraniums have been frost bitten
at the tips, they may be taken in and
cut back, says Professor Ahearn New
shoots usually starts growing WITHIN
few days. Plants brought into the
house should be kept in the shade for
several days until the roots have had
time to take hold. Nearly all outdoor
plants will root readily in sharp SAND
and they are much easier to cultivate
than when planted in ordinary soil.
Dubious plants, such as the Gamma,
the dahlia, and the caladium (ele-
plants earl may be taken in after the
frost has killed the tops and kept IN a
moderately cool, dry place until spring.
A cellar is usually the best place
Bulbs preferably should be taken
up in the early morning and on a
warm day. Leave them in the sun to
dry until evening. A little soil should
be retained on them. An ideal way is
to place the bulbs on shelves, close
enough so that they will just fail to
touch. Fill between them with sharp
river sand. Examine the bulbs from
they show signs of shriveling, moisten
with water. Allow the sand to dry
out, if there is any evidence OF rot

BLOOMBL ACKENED
Chemicals Worked Havoc With
Washburn GirPs Complexion.
Her Peach Bloom Cheeks
Turned to Sickly Black.

To have her peachblow complexion
turn a sickly black was the experience
of a pretty Washburn coed in chem
istry class this week.
She had a first hour chemistry
laboratory period and was stunning
when she came to class-ringlets curl
ing in just the right place and pink
and white complexion that was just
perfectly lovely. Dainty and charm
ing she passed before admiring eyes
to the hydrogen sulphide generator
with a test tube held in two pink nm
gers A pretty dimple carved ltset
in her cheek as she placed her TUBE
under the nozzle and reached Tor the
stopcock. She turned t too wide ana
a heavy blast of the sulphurous gas
shot out of the laboratory, causing
her to wriggle. her lily nose. in dis
gust.
Then the class gasped-and
laughed.
The moment the gas struck her race
her cheeks turned a handsome sleek
black. The Peach lied the room TO
repair her injured toilet.
Later a bright boy figured out that
hydrogen sulphide plus lead gives lead
sulphide and lead sulphioe is black
Her ''complexion'' had contained
within its battling snowiness some
trace of lead.

SHOW HUNDRED PER CENT GAIN
Course of Journalism Becoming Popu'
lar at Manhattan.


Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 16.-One
hundred per cent gain in enrolment
of students taking the four-year course
in industrial Journalism offered by the
Kansas State Agricultural college Is
the remarkable showing this fall. This
brings the total registration in journal
ism up to 126, the heaviest-by a wide
margin-in the history of the depart
ment.
The figures indicate growing de-
mand on the part of those who are
specializing in various phases of farm
work and who expect either to take
positions on farm journals or to sub
NIT articles frequently for publication
in such periodicals.
There is a broad field in farm jour
nalisn and the demand for competent
writer's on agricultural subjects is
greater than the supply. Many stu
dents have gone from the department
of industrial Journalism in the Kansas
State Agricultural college to positions
| of responsibility on farm papers.
Practical training is given with a
view to preparing students for posi-
| lions on either agricultural publica-
| tons or newspapers. Students are en-
couraged to write for farm and other
papers. They are taught to set type
as we'll as to prepare copy. The Kan
sas Industralist and the Kansas State
CoIlegian provide Laboratory work.
The department also acts as the pub
licity bureau of the college.

BACK TO old DAYS
Manhattan Recalls Kaw River
Steamboat Trips.
Dedication of Museum Brings
Back Fond Memories.

Manhattan. Oct. 16.-Memories of
the little steamboat that sailed up the
Kaw some so years ago to found Man
haitian were recalled today by old set
tiers when they viewed the historical
pageant and watched the dedication OF
the log cabin museum.
Manhattan was carefully mapped
out in the minds of the first settlers
while they were steaming down the
Ohio river in the summer of 1858.
They called the prospective town
Manhattan because they figured that
IT would rival Gotham in a few years
and be a New York City of the west
There were approximately 80 set
tiers on the steamboat that turned UP
the Missouri. Kansas City was lit
tie river village when the steamer
turned into the Kaw. No boat had
ever sailed through it's turbid waters
1t was thought that Manhattan would
be founded at the junction of the Re-
publican and Kansas or where juno
tton City now stands, but the first set
tiers were satisfied to get off at the
present Manhattan. The old part OF
town is near the river and close tc
the Indian village which Coronado
found in 1542 when his knights visited
the spot.
THE little steamer which had car
ried them from Pittsburg burned anC
the only trace of it remaining is tht
hell which hangs in the Steeple OF the
First Methodist church and sends on
its nasal clang every Sunday
IN the nineties traces of the forine
indian village were found at tn
mouth of the Wildcat creek which
empGies into the Kaw river quartz

STREETNA MESC0NFUSE
A. S. Strain Would Like to Know
Where He Lives.

The confusing manner in which To-
peka's streets are named and in which
houses are numbered, or not num-
bered, has caused A. S. Strain, who
lives on Roosevelt street, and who is
not able to tell just where. to write
the city commission, asking them to
find out for him where he lives. He
does not even know whether he is in
the city or not.
The system of house numbering in
Topeka needs correcting according to
the letter, and the writer calls atten-
ton to there being three Logan
streets, one in North Topeka, one nee
Oakland and one in the west part of
the city. Park avenue in North To-
peka and another in Auburndale is
also complained Of 1t is also said that
even numbers are used for houses on
each side of Stevens street.
