KANSANS TO HELP
Boys Who Cannot Get. in Army
Can Aid Y. Nj. C. A.
All Between IL and 20 Asked
To Pledge SO Each.

AItho MANY thousands of Kansas
boys will not have an opportunity to
charge thru barbed wire entangle-
ments and help wrest first-line
trenches from the enemy on the battle
fields of democracy. every youth will
be given an opportunity to help his
big brothers in the armies or in
prison camps.
Plans outlined at the state head
quarters here of the national war
work council of the Y. M. c. A. show
how Kansas boys will have a chance
to keep step with Uncle Sam" The
plan is this: Kansas boys between the
ages of 2 and 20 are to be called up
on to pledge $40 each toward the
war work fund to be raised by the
Y. NJ. c. A. from November IL to 10.
Three thousand boys of the sunflower
state will have a chance to do their
Bit in raising the 100000 which is
Kansas share of the $1,000.000 to be
raised by the boys of America for war
work by the Y. NJ. c. A.
The SO which the boy pledges to
the war fund is to be earned by him
self. Each of one hundred thousand
American boys will spend his spare
moments this winter in some form of
useful employment in order to secure
$40 with which to help his big
brothers who are at war. The boy
has a choice of giving his money to
assist one of two phases of the war
Work: First, TO brothers and friends
in arms, bringing to them the services
of the Y. NJ. c. A. for the period end
ing July 1, 1918; or, second, to allies
in prison camps. providing them with
food packets.
The state has been divided into
fourteen districts for the purpose of
securing pledges of $40 each from
$4,000 Kansas boys. In each district
conference will be held before No
vember IL for the purpose of organ
izing the district for the nationwide
campaign. Each district will have a
manager, and each county within
district likewise will have a local man
ager.
Here are some Suggestions given by
the Y NJ c. A. as to how the boy
may earn the $40 he is going to de-
vote to Y. NJ. c. A. war work: Rails
ing guinea pigs. white mice and
squads; decorating show windows with
rabbits; beating carpets; waxing
floors; sitting and dumping ashes;
cleaning cellars; washing windows;
cutting and saving wood; painting
and putting away screens; vanishing
chairs; scrubbing floors; cleaning
yards; barns, cellars and attics; MAX
ing cartoons; working in stores half
holidays and on Saturdays: waiting
tables; tending furnaces. husking
corn; washing automobiles; doing
chores for neighbors and selling re-
freshments at football games.

SUBSTITUTES FOR MEAT
Milk, Nuts and Legumes Are the
Cheapest and the Best.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 31.-Milk.
eggs and cheese, and occasionally nuts
and Iegumes. such as peas and beans
may be used as wartime substitutes
for meat, according to Miss Josephine
Perry, assistant in domestic science in
the Kansas State Agricultural college
There is no cheap substitute for
meat" said Miss Perry. Milk fur
nishes all food materials needed A
family of six should use about three
quarts of milk a day. Dairy products
are expensive, but the return is great
er than for similar amount invested
in meat. and they contain the protein
best used by the body. A dish made
from skim milk and cheese would
make a good meat substitute and at a
lower cost.
Nuts are a fairly good substitute
for meat. but are not as easily digest
ed. The legumes are often offered as
substitutes, but their protein is not
capable of being as completely used as
that of meat These dishes should be
served occasionally for the sake of fur
nishing variety in the diet. Children
require plenty of milk and eggs
legumes are not an adequate substi-
tute"

Boom for H. b. Wilson as Su-
perintendent Instruction.
Head Schools Here Mentioned
for Place Held by Ross.
PUNCTURE HOPES OF 4TH TERM
Teachers to Next Weeks Con-
ventiOn Will Come Prepared.
Lizzie Wooster of Salina May
Enter the Primaries Again.

Trouble will nestle up close to W. D.
Ross, state superintendent of public
instruction, when the Kansas teachers
come to Topeka next week. At least
one of several possibilities for state
superintendent will be curried and
combed and carefully groomed to en-
ter the Republican primaries against
Ross next August.
Teachers opposed to Ross-and just
now there seems to be an army of
them-wil not give the present super
sympathy lodges. They will not drag
the fight onto the floor of the conven-
ton. Instead they will work quietly,
but effectively, and will provide a
bomb proof organization in the early
hours of the session. This organiza-
ton will have but one purpose. That
will be to wing Ross fourth term
ambitions.
Say Nice Things-By Resolution.
Attend any of the convention ses-
sions and there is not the slightest
chance you will hear a word in OPP
position to Ross from one of the
speakers. In fact the convention will
probably follow custom in vogue
since the organization of the associa-
ton and pass resolutions saying nice
things about the state superintendent
But more school room queens will sit
in the meetings with knives carefully
concealed than in any convention in
years. The real medicine to be pre-
scribed for Ross will be compounded
in the little whisper caucuses.
Superintendent H. B. Wilson of the
Topeka city schools is one of the pos
sibilities to be urged in the campaign
to upset Superintendent Ross plan to
provided himself a lifelong berth in
the state house. 1t is not certain Sup
erintendent Wilson will run. In fact
he may not run. But he will have a
strong bunch of boosters in the eau
Gus gatherings during the teachers
meetings. The Topekan is strong
with the Kansas teachers, is a man of
excellent qualifications and would
probably prove an ideal harmony can
didate in the movement to provide a
new deal in school management.
Prof. w. S. Heusner of Salina, for
mer president of the state association,
is another likely candidate. Prof.
Heusner's name has been mentioned
on numerous occasions. He is popu-
lar. widely known, qualified and has
the benefit OF an excellent geographi-
cal location to enter the fight against
Ross.
Professor in Race
Prof. 2. L. Holton of the state agri-
cultural college, will be urged as a
candidate by the teachers who come
to the convention. He could enlist
many followers from among the Kan
sas teachers and would be accepta BILE
to persons not in accord with the Ross
idea of life tenure of state office.
Then there is Miss Lizzie Wooster

this case all the current supplied by
the dynamo passes through the series

Sucking Series Field Winding
The bucking series field winding is
really differential or reserved series
field winding. the only difference be.
ing that the series field winding does
not carry all or necessarily a definite
part OF the current delivered by the
generator. The operation of the buck
ing coil may be explained by refer
ence to Fig. 8. which is exactly the
same as Fig. with coil of iron
wire, w, connected in parallel with
the series field winding. The resist
ance OF iron wire increases with an
increase in temperature and this in
crease is very rapid after certain
temperature has been reached. Now.
when the current delivered by the
generator Is small. practically all the
current passes through the coil w,
as its resistance Is much less than
the resistance OF the series field wind
ing. AS the current delivered by the
generator increases the temperature

In current in the series field prevents
as large an Increase in generated
voltage as would occur if no series
field we're used.
When the current supplied by the
generator is reduced the temperature
of the iron wire is lowered and the
division of the total current between
the series field and coil w is restored
to its previous value. This system OF
regulation is used on some of the
equipment Of the Bosch Magnetic Com
pany; also on the equipment of the
Rushmore Dynamo Works, which is
