Faculty at State University Surprised
at Low Health Average of the
Girl Students.

Taking gymnasium work and attend
ing a physical education class while
resting quietly in bed is new eX-
perience in store for several classes
of women students at the University
of Kansas when the University's new
compulsory physical training for stu
dents goes into effect next week.
''Of the 500 women in the University
more than 100 are physically unfit for
regular physical exercise said DR..
Florence Sherbon, land will have to
be given special work or rest cures to
build them up. We are fitting up
rest room for women in the gymna-
SUM and there will be fifteen army
cots and blankets there for women stu
dents. The room will be darkened
and properly ventilated and high
strung girls, who do not know how to
rest, but whose health, demands that
they must rest, will be compelled to
take an hours rest each day at the
hour they report for gymnasium work.
Well see that they rest, too
The medical faculty of the Univer-
sity has been painfully surprised by
the low health average of the Univer
sity students, all of whom are now
being examined to be assigned to ply
steal education work suited to each
individual case. Doctor Sherbon found
more than thirty women students with
weak hearts, some with valvular
heart troubles and others with me-
chanical heart strains from basket
ball in high school. None of these
women will be allowed to enter COM
petitive exercises or heavy work.
Heart trouble is one of the great
causes of mortality in Kansas, accord
ing to DR.. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the
University school of medicine. Elk
aminations of men students also are
showing a surprising number of Kan

AMONG THE SCOUTS.

I
A Scout must be cheerful, no matter
what he is up against. He must play
the game" and play it with a smile
on his face, no matter how serious the
problem may be which confronts him
like the Canadians in this present war,
who are said to enter the terrible bat
ties with laugh, kicking football in
front Of them, until the pig-skin alights
on the heads of the enemy!
The number of things which a boy
can do and the thoroughness with
which he can do them have been Of
tener minimized than magnifed. No
bow ever went to the bad except in
protest against parents who failed to
provide productive activity in proper
form.
When a Scout accepts duty, he
does 1t cheerfully because he knows
that he is going to perform the duty
successfully. Whatever enterprise he
enters into he does it with the convic,
ton and belief he is going to win, and
he does it with grin because he is
going to win.

The discovery Of an antitoxin for the
gangrene that follows various kinds OF
gunshot wounds, if the report from
the Rockefeller Institute is accurate, is
like the winning of O great victory on
the battlefield. If it had been an
nounced and it's efficacy fully con-
frmed in August, 1914, misery beyond
computation might have been prevent
ed. Quite early in the war, Surgeon
General Gorgas declared that gangrene
infection "seems to be unprecedent-
edly frequent, and such infections are
fatal in a very large proportion OF
cases." The antitoxin which Doctor
Bull and Miss Ida Pritchett have dis
covered, and can produce in large guam
titles for field use, has thus far been
employed only on animals. The world
will be eager to be assured that, ac-
cording to the hope expressed by the
announcement, it may be as effective
with human beings.

FAMOUS SHIP is PRESERVED
Vessel on Which Amundsen Sailed
! Through the Northwest Passage
Lies on Shore Near Golden Gate.

The ship Gioa, in which the vail
ant Norwegian explorer, Racld
;Amundsen, made his famous trip
through the Northwest passage, dis
covering this new route, no longer
rides the waves in quest Of new and
novel corners Of the earth. She has
become monument to her own and
her commanders great achievement,
and now lies, Gagged III an iron fence,
las though she were a beast, on the
shores of San Francisco bay, over
looking Golden Gate.
The Gjoa has been preserved just
as she was when Amundsen made his
memorable journey in her. She is a
small sloop-rigged vessel, but thor
oughly seaworthy in the hands Of
hardy, trained sailors. She carries
Ia "crow's nest," or lookout station,
high up on her lofty mainmast. This
was used as a lookout point on the
trip through the passage.
The Gjoa, though now beached
for good, has an appropriate setting
for a ship hailing from a scandi-
navian country. Immediately behind
the vessel stands not Dutch, but
an American, windmill of the Dutch
type Of construction. It is one of a
group used to pump water on the
beach near Golden Gate, and which
give the shoreline, viewed from in
coming ships, the appearance Of a
SLittle Holland" The famous old
ship is now at its last anchorage.

WARNING TO SOLDIERS WIVES.

Some people who read the newspa-
pers are likely to remember what befell
Canadian women who accompanied
their soldier husbands across the At
lantic in the early stages of the war.
Women are not permitted to accom-
pany an army ordered to the front.
These Canadian women, when they
could, have returned home. Many have
remained in England, adding to the
difficulty of the British food problem,
and therefore, not especially welcome
guests. Had they stayed at home they
would have been infinitely better Off.
There are fears in Great Britain and
France that American women may
make the mistake of trying to accom-
pany soldier husbands. The object, OF
course, would be to take care OF the
men in case they should be wounded.
On the other side Of the case is the
threatening shortage of food in the
fighting countries. The American en-
bassies at London and Paris have been
appealed to and requested to impress
the facts on the state department at
Washington. In the expedition to
France it would be great mistake for
American women to accompany their
husbands.

fTo BUILD CONCRETE SHIPS
Norway, Sweden and Denmark Have
/! Embarked on Construction Of This
Type of Vessel.

Norway, Sweden and Denmark
have already embarked on the con-
istruction of ferro-concrete vessels,
and very extensive tests of this
point have been conducted by the
German Concrete union, in the
limited States and elsewhere. One
point that appears to be currently
accepted is the unfavorable influence
of lime in the cement, which is at
tackled by various ingredients in salt
water such as magnesium sulphate,
says the Scientific American.
There are, however, varieties Of
concrete such as F'puzzolane," which
contain no free lime; also, if very
dense concrete is used, it is not ma
terially penetrated, and any decom-
position is only surface process.
The chief precautions against preju-
dicial action Of salt water appear to
be: (1) The use of rich concrete,
l2) the use of cement with little
free lime, gypsum and alumina, (3)
the addition of puzzolane, contain
ing silicic acid to fix the free lime,
:(4) the use of coarse sand, (5) the
use of dense concrete, (6) special
surface treatment.

BOY SCOUTS IRON WILL

The iron will does not give in to fa-
tigue or danger or even death itself.
It is the iron will which is keeping the
Scouts at work today, each feeding his
soldier.
Zing! A mosquito. The Scout passes
his hand across his neck, remember
ing that across the sea it is bullets that
zing. The hoe swings on.
Ooh! his eyes go shut. A swarm
of gnats. He brushes them away and
clears his optics. Over there it is fly
ing shrapnel and the eyes are gone for
ever. The hoe swings on.
Down across the face burning fluid
trickles. He wipes it away with his
hand and looks, almost expecting to
see a crimson stain, for he has been
thinking Of himself as soldier, wound
ed. No, it's only perspiration. The
hoe swings on.
He straightens up-or rather he tries
to. Ouch! what q pain in his back.
And his legs feel like sticks. The hoe
swings on. Many soldier, when he
comes back from the war, has legs that
are sticks.
Boom boo-o-m! A crash like thou
sand heavy guns. The earth trem-
bles. A thunderstorm drenches him..
He stops and turns his face upward
IN thankfulness. He is only getting
wet. Over there the crash and roar
are continuous and every minute some
brave fellow goes down under the
steely hail. The shower passes. The
hoe swings on. 1t is the iron will.
Every Scout to Feed a Soldier"
Every Scout has promised, and every
Scout will do it! The summer sun
will not stop him. Fatigue will not
stop him. The bugs will not stop him.
Nothing on earth will stop him. He
is fighting for liberty-fghting with
the iron will.
