These Days, 'Well-Bread' K.U. Students Take One Slice of It

The conventional slice of bread and butter is no longer just a handy item to hold in your left hand or a shovel to push that least pea on your fork.
Students, it's a luxury! The bread shortage has hit the campus.
Organized houses are attempting to solve the problem by serving rolls until the flour shortage dwindles their now abundant supply. Although no one seems to know the exact amount of flour on hand, as long as the rolls continue to come in pre-shortage quantities, there is no danger of breadless meals.
"Patients at Watkins Memorial hospital are being asked to state the amount of bread they want with their meal as an effort to curb the present shortage."
Miss Marion Truhlson, dietician explained. "By taking such measures whereby the consumption equals the supply, the problem of waste is eliminated."
The union cafeteria is also fastening the lid on the breadbasket a little tighter, according to Miss Zipple, director. Students are asked to eat only one slice of bread at a meal instead of the accustomed two or three.
There is no prediction that there will ever be bread lines to correspond with the nylon and white shirt lines. It is entirely possible, however, that in the near future you will be glad to open that laundry bag from home and find that your cheese and crackers have made way for a substitute—a delicious loaf of homemade bread.
Electronic Brain May Solve Oil Problems
Tulsa, Okla. (UP)—An electronic "brain" which can solve within minutes- mathematical problems virtually unworkable on paper was offered without royalty to the oil industry today by The Carter Oil company, whose scientists developed it.
Officially named "the electrical oil pool analyzer," the device will predict the life history of an oil field and determine how much water pressure must be kept on an oil formation for the most efficient withdrawal of petroleum over a period of years.
Oscar C. Schorp, president of the oil company, announced at a dinner there last night attended by scientists, educators and oil writers that Carter Oil company was relimquishing its patent rights to the machine, which was developed over a five year period by Dr. W. A. Bruce, 35-year-old physicist employed by the firm.
Bruce explained that the analyzer based on the fact that electric- under "pressure" from resistors condensors, reacts similarly to
petroleum, briquethed oil
biologistst from various sources
into the device through elec-
onic means.
"It should be a boon to the conservation forces," Bruce said. "The
Caldwell Man Dies In Japan
Tokyo. (UP)—Sgt. Kelsey K. Draper, Caldwell, was one of the three army fliers killed when two planes crashed recently during bad weather. Fifth air force headquarters have announced.
The planes were enroute to Nagoya from Atsuji when the crashes occurred. Another of the A-26 Douglas "Invaders" made a crash landing, and a fourth returned to Atsuji.

robot may indicate that too speedy production is being carried on, hastening an early end to the oil field under study. The calculations from the analyzer will outline the proper rate of withdrawal."
The device has been used in several states on an experimental basis and preparations are now under way to install one of the analyzers in South America, where, Bruce said, "it will feel the pulse" of oil fields on that continent.
Bruce set up the first model of the "brain" in 1942, after studying an electrical device which records the flow of heat through substances as developed by Columbia university. New York. The device is operated through a maze of switches and dials on its six-foot square walnut cabinet.
The inventor took undergraduate and post-graduate work at Washington university, St. Louis, before joining the Carter staff eight years ago.

Army Commends Hift For Pacific Service

"I desire to express my appreciation of the outstanding manner in which you performed your duties as the 14th anti-aircraft command education officer, and as the executive in the anti-aircraft office at general headquarters in Manila". Maj. Gen. W. F. Marquat's letter stated.

Imperfect Crime
New Orleans. (UP) — The thieves who robbed one New Orleans grocery store were impatient cusses.
They weren't willing to climb into a window to pick a lock.
Instead, they rammed through the front door with an automobile, and then took what they wanted.
On top of it all, the car was a stolen one.
