Orcutt is bright man. All the irreg-

knew what time trains arrived and trains
left the only railway station in town. Like
wise he knew the police force They re-
quired but little knowing inasmuch as
there were but six men on the force. But
he told his employer and suggested that he
take cop with him and watch the railroad

Orcutt and Policeman Tom Parker went
to the station and did what think heady

K. U. NEWS NOTES

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 19.-Out of a
student body of more than $500 stu
dents, 107 men, under the direction
of the United States veterans bureau,
are taking work at the University or
Kansas this year, according to John
r. Dyer, veterans bureau counsellor.
The number exceeds that of any year
since the war.
University of Kansas authorities
are now discussing the six-day school
project, and in all probability a ue-
cision concerning this question will be
reached within a month. That would
mean a beginning of the six-day
school week next semester
DR.. r. C. Moore, manager of the fac
ulty of the Kansas State university
and also an employe of the United
States geological survey, has recently
completed, with the aid of four other
biologists, an accurate map of $500
square miles of land in southern Utah,
and part of the plateau regions of
northern Colorado. This is the first
accurate map of that section of the
country ever made.
Many women attending the Univer-
sity of Kansas are working their way
thru this year, according to Mrs. r. D.
Bryant, of the housing committee.
More university women apply for Of
flee work than there are positions for.
On the other hand. the demand for
students to do homework in Law
renee is greater than the supply of
women for such positions.

cuted by the late Scion Bofglum, one
of Americas greatest scuiptors, and
brother to Gutzon Borglum.
The tablet is of bronze. 1t bears a
high relief, full face portrait of Mr..
Hurley, with suitable inscription be-
meath. The incidents connected with
its making are most interesting.
When the Santa Fe officials decided
to have the memorial made they first
applied to several other noted Sculp-
tors, but not one of these was willing
to make a portrait from photographs.
Borglum was then appealed to. and
after much elaboration he decided to
accept the commission.
First Rorglum demanded every pho
tograph of Mr.. Hurley that would, to
any degree, help him determine tho
true shape Of the Iatter's head and
features, or could throw any Egst GA
his most characteristic expression. It
SO happened that C. J. Snyder. the
veteran photographer, had made
many portraits of Mr.. Hurley in many
poses, and entering thoroly into the
spirit of the project. he carefully pre-
pared special plates and prints from
every negative in his possession and
sent them to Borg1um.
Next Borglum invited Mrs. Hurley
and the daughter, Miss Hildegrade
Hurley. to come to his studio at Nor
walk, Conn, where he carefully ques-
toned them about the late general
managers mannerisms and those
facial expressions of which the pho
tographs might give no indication.
They made three visits to Norwalk dur
ing the executing of the portrait. Miss
Hurley, whose features resemble her
fathers to a marked degree, also
posed for the sculptor at his request.
The final result was most satisfac-
tory to everybody. and all Topeka
should be proud to know that it pos
sesses an excellent work by SO noted
a sculptor.
