DIR. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board of health, plans to send
health MESA ges to amateur operators
by radio. He announced today that
he planned to install a radio system
for transmission of the state board
messag ges to Kansas communities As
a result of the new service, concerts
may be given for the benefit of pa
tients in state and county institutions
particularly tuberculosis sani-
tariums
The plan to use radio service was
devised by Doctor Crumbine in an ef-
fort to popularize the semi-weekly
healthy messages sent out from the
state house. There are nearly 1000
amateur radio operators in the state.
Doctor Crumbine believes local inter
est in the messages will be increased
if they are given by radio and picked
UP by local operators. The service
may also be used in transmitting i'm
portant public messages and issuance
of health warnings
There are no state funds for the
purchase of a radio outfit. Doctor
Crumbine is confident. tho, that the
money can be provided from private
sources. In fact he is sufficiently GER
tain of his ability to secure necessary
funds that he will advance the money
himself.
I believe the service would be
worth many times the cost in arousing
public interest in the health mes
sages." said Doctor Crumbine Be
sides there is a great opportunity to
use the equipment in giving hospital
inmates the benefit of radio concerts.
am much impressed with possibili-
ties OF state use of the radio service

Parents of Students at Hays Normal
to Build Building.

Parents of students in the state nor
NAL training school at Hays will give
the state an $4,000 dormitory for
girl students. The new dormitory is
to be built by public subscriptions,
provided by business men and farmers
in western Kansas. The new institu-
ton will provide quarters for 100 girl
students in the state school
At present the Hays Normal is en-
countering trouble in providing ade-
quate rooming facilities for students.
The Hays citizens simply cannot care
for the increasing school population in
their homes.
Recently DR.. w. A. Lewis, president
of the school, met with Hays business
men and told of the housing trouble.
Now the business men and farmers
are to build the new girls dormitory
and give the institution to the state.
Both title to the dormitory and au-
thority for its control and manag ge-
ment will be in the state. 1t will be
built on grounds of the normal school.
Many farmers subscribed to the dor
mitory fund. Among them were farm
ers who did not send children to the
state school. The largest subscription
came from a farmer. who gave $4,000
for the new building

FIGHT on THE WEEVIL.
New Invasion Is Now About Due and
Must Be Repellcd.


Clemson College, August 17.-So long
rs migration has not set in, continu-
alton of the program of frequent shall
low cultivation where practicable is
recommended and this supplemented
by thorough square picking with cheap
labor, said Prof. A. r. COnradi, ento-
mologist, at the weekly conference to-
day on the boil weevil situation.
Infestation has generally increased
throughout the state during the past
week, according to reports from the
field men ard county agents, but there
is still great irregularity in wecvil
occurrence, square infestation varying
from 4, very low per cent TO so to 70
per cent, ard in some sections 80 per
cent or over. When migration sets in,
there will be greater regularity of in
fcstation.
With the migration period about up
on us, VIC must realize that we have
about reached. the last stage of the
battle, and wherever the proper dust
and machinery are available we urge
its intelligent use in order to hold in
festation down as much IS possible.
Many people are still being misled
by the irrcgularity Of infcstaton. Some
fields or parts Of fields are lightly in
tested while others may be very heav-
lily infested. If therefore certain ope-
rations arc carried on on lightly in
