SUMMER SESSION KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Former Professor Discovers Flying Aid
A new secret chemical development enabling American long-range bombers to fly higher and for longer periods in the sub-stratosphere was discovered by Dr. Howard M. Elsey, research chemist for the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company, and associate professor of chemistry at the University from 1919 to 1925.
If the brushes fail and batteries are drained of power, a bombing plane's radio, radio compass, landing gear, lights, landing flaps, gun turrets, and other vital auxiliaries cannot operate.
Dr. Elsey explained, "Generators equipped with treated brushes now are able to deliver electric power at normal capacity for 100 hours or more above 30,000 feet. Untreated brushes wear out in an average of two hours, and they may fail in a few minutes if the generator is called upon to deliver large amounts of power."
Dr. Elsey is a brother-in-law of Dr 'A. W. Davidson, professor of chemistry at the University.

Science Teachers Teach Aeronautics Las Vegas, N. M., (ACP-By enrolling for a special course to be given in June at New Mexico Highlands university, science teachers will be prepared to teach pre-flight aeronautics to hundreds of boys in their high schools next fall.
Journalism Students Accept Positions
Jobs by the dozens were offered journalism seniors at the University this spring, a situation reflecting the general shortage of newspaper workers, according to Prof. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department.
Several seniors accepted jobs before Commencement. Among them are Miss Salarena Sherman, Topeka, who is working on the Topeka Daily Capital; Miss Miriam Abele, Lawrence, on the Ottawa Herald; Miss Phyllis Jones, Sedan, on the Hutchinson News; Miss Virginia Tieman, Leavenworth, in the Kansas City office of the United Press; and Miss Florence Brown, Sabetha, in the Des Moines bureau of the Associated Press. William Haage, a journalism major, is working on the Garden City Daily Telegram this summer.
Miss Mary Eleanor Fry, Spearville, will begin work June 1 as a reporter on the Lyons Daily News. During the past school year she was assistant advertising manager of the University Daily Kansan.
Extending facilities of its school of engineering to the government, the University of Missouri is making it possible for women from 18 to 25 years of age to take a 24-week course in aircraft radio.
