Applying Physics in a Street Car.

Applying Physics in Street Car.
One Of the fundamental theories you
we're taught in your high school phys
les will save you lot of trouble ev-
cry day if you apply it.
Straphangers in the street cars lurch
forward when the car stops and back
ward when 1t starts. It's inconyenient,
especially if a 200-pounder hits you.
Remember that place in the physics
text-"To every action there is an
opposite and equal reaction"
Well, apply it. When the car stops,
lean toward the rear. When it starts,
lean toward the front.
You Iurch because you're the oppo-
site reaction to the cars movement.
Simple and practical, isn't 1t?

FUNSTON AT THE TOP
1t Is One of Most Sanitary Army
Camps in Nation.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 10.-Maj.
Gen. William c. Gorgas has given his
approval of the sanitary administra-
ton and health conditions of Camp
Funston, which the surgeon general
and a party of army medical corps
men have just inspected. The party
is inspecting all of the principal army
environments in the army, and left
Sunday night for Camp Doniphan.
They spent Friday and Saturday at
Camp Funston.
Statistical reports General Gorgas
said, show Funston's health record
almost at the top of the list of thirty
camps, altho there has been much
meningitis and measles. The able
and efficient sanitary administration
is to be credited with having made a
winning fight against diseases certain
to be evident where $4,000 men are
gathered together, and the fight of the
Funston medical officer has been as
perfect as human endeavor can attain.
''At this time we ara finding measles

Bldg. if $4,000 Is Raised.

Camp Funston, Kan, Dec. 10.-The
building of the recreational hall by the
All-Kansas $500 infantry is being
pushed forward with all the speed
possible. All of the work, from the
drawing of the design to the actual
construction of the building, is being
done by men from the regiment The
foundation for the hall is in and the
side walls are up. Those who pass the
new building are impressed with its
magnitude, as it might well be taken
for the home of a large factory or 9th
er large industry.
The recreational hall will be 23e bv
96 feet, and will be a frame structure.
The seating capacity will be between
4,5OO and 5000, large enough to seat
every man in the regiment, together
with few friends.
Samuel E. Barnes. who has the con-
strucuon of the building in charge

Only one obstacle now remains and
that is the fact that all of the money

as instructive program. Members of
the college staff especially qualified

lures on subjects pertaining to agri-
culture, home economics, and me-
chanic arts. They are applicable to
Kansas conditions, and can be relied
upon to present only such practices as
may be recommended for Kansas

WRITE NEAT LETTERS
This Is as Important to Farmer as to
the Business Man.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 10.-A farm
err can no more afford to neglect the
appearance of his letters than he can
afford to neglect his personal appear
ance, in the opinion of H. w. Davis,
assistant professor of English lam
guage in the Agricultural college.
"A business man is judged consider
ably by his appearance" said Profess
sor Davis, land the farmers business
associates are likely to judge him en-
tirely by the letters he writes, since
they often have no other means of
knowing him. They may decide from
his letter whether he rs progressive,
up-to-date business man, or whether
he will prove unsatisfactory to deal
with. He will make a much better
impression if he has some neat form
of letterhead.
1.-The farmers business now is call
ing more and more for letter writing
of all types-buying and selling let
tiers. If the farmer specializes in any
particular field, he is called upon to
know something of advertising. partic-
ularly in sales-letter writing. In some
cases he is called upon to prepare even
catalogs and advertising folders"
