SAFE DEPARTMENT
I OF EDUCATION
Alas Plans and Specifications
Prepared for Almost Three
lfourths Million Dollars in
Rural School Buildings

D STATE superintendent of Public In

d, State Department of Education
I, ,s prepared plans and specifications
I Or rural and small town school
niltings resulting in approximate
!, ,hrec-fourths Of n million dollars

department. of Education prepares
mans and specifications for school
buildings ranging from one room to
fourteen rooms to meet the demands
1 h; raral communities for small ru.
ri schools and consolidated schools.
This work within the Department of
Education represented saving to
oeal school boards of from thirty to
forty thousand dollars during the
mast wear in architect fees, the plans
being prepared by the State Depart
ment and furnished gratis to local
school boards and division supcrin-

communities assisted would ncces-
sarily have gone without expert SER
vice of this important kind because
Of the expense. This work is carried
on under the supervision of Mr.. R.V.
Long assisted by Mr. l.. T.. Warner,
who crdcav0r to render any special
service to local communities posi-
be by way of repairing standard
plans, making necessary revisions,
and plans for additions to old build
ing.
The State Department has adopted
the oue-story school building plan
after careful study and inves,iga-
ton, finding that the onc-story plan
is las expensive to construct, due to
the elimination Of heavy building
constructions; it also eliminates all
FIRE hazards and is generally better
adapted to good school administra-
ion
Snperintendents and school boards
over the state are already making ar
Tangements with the State Depart
ment to prepare plans for their
school building program for next
year and it is expected that the De-
1artment will have heavily increased
iemailds upon it during the coming
year.

GOOD SUPPLY OF MOISTURE
Entire State Has Received Plenty
of Rain or Snow During Last
Few Days-Wheat Is Grecning
Up IN Almost Every Section of
Kansas.
BY B. r. LAsKowsKI.

Kansas was well supplied with
moisture the past week according to
the reports received from over 100
corresponds of the weather bureau.
Heavy wet snow, to a depth of a foot
in several of the extreme northwestern
counties, and heavy rains, totaling
from one to two inches, occurred over
the northcentral and northeast coun-
ties last Saturday. This was the last
section of the state to break the pro-
longed drought which has held sway
since last fall All sections are now
abundantIy supplied with moisture.
Wheat is greening up nicely over
most of the state now except in a few
western counties. The consensus of
opinion is that the wheat seems to
have plenty of vitality in all sections
except in several extreme western
counties where the effects of the late
moisture are not noticeable to date but
which may show signs of improvement
with fayora BILE weather. Many fields
that looked dead before the occur
renee of the last moisture are showing
signs of taking on life and all reports
indicate there is plenty of time for
stooling satiSfa ctorily-
Very little farm work could be done
the past week due to wet fields but
all report that everything is in readi-
ness and farm work Will be pushed
rapidly as soon as the weather per-
n1fts Spring blowing was resumed in
the Kaw valley as the week ended

Richard soon after the latter's arrest.

ARE FAR APART
White House and Capitol Lead
ers Continue to Disagree.
Harding Convinced Congress
Trying to Usurp His Authority.

washington, March 22.-Two days
of contact between President Harding
and Republican leaders have height
ened rather than aHayed the acute
friction that exists between the execu-
tive branches of the government on
pending legislation.
In the face of strong White House
disapproval, house leaders calmly pro-
ceeded today with their plans to pass
the pending army bill, cutting down
the size OF the army to lis, 900 men
and directing the withdrawal of a
majority of the troops which the
United States maintains in its over
seas possessions. Again tomorrow
the house leaders plan to disregard
House by passing the pending bonus
bill.
President Harding regards the bo-
nus bill as inadvisa BILE and unwork-
able He regards the house attempt
to cut the army to lis, 900 men and
the navy to $1,000 men or less and the
directions as to how the overseas
troops shall be stationed as a bold at
tempt to usurp his prerogatives.
THE president is still commander
in-chief of the army and he has not,
nor will he delegate his authority in
this respect to the appropriations
committee of the house or to any 9TH
er congressional body" it was stated
officially at the White House.
There was a growing impression to-
day that both the bonus bill and the
army bill will be shelved in the senate
or else subjected to such amendm erts
as to necessitate their being sent back
would lead to considerable delay and
perhaps to some embarrassment in
the case of the army. bill, for the
army's pay depends upon its passag &c.

WORD WAR IN ARBUCKLE TRIAL
Six Weeks Looms AS Time Third
Attempt to Convict VIII Take.

San Francisco, March 22.-With a
verbal barrage equal to both of the
former trials. the third trial of Ros-
coe Fatty Arbuckle, was under way
today.
Every word of evidence and every
legal technicality is being contested
by the defense and the state is putting
forth every effort to place before the
jury its version of the party following
which Virginia Rape died and to
place responsibility for her death on
the fat comedian.
DIR. William Ophuls. autopsy sur
geon. called as the first witness, re-
sumed the stand with the opening of
court today for further cross ex-
animation. He had spent three hours
in the witness chair yesterday. The
entire direct and cross examination of
the physician in each of the other
trials required less than an hour.
Following DR.. Ophuls on the stand,
an autopsy nurse and several other
physicians were scheduled to be called
by the state today.
At the present rate of progress, the
case will probably require six weeks
for trial
