EUROPEAN OBJECTIONS
The Graf Zeppelin has been forced, for the first time, to turn back before it reached its destination. Difficulties have followed and even preceded this last journey of the giant craft. Before taking off, it was delayed because of objections from France. This country refused to let the airplane飞 over its munition plant, as it had done on its former flight, without first obtaining permission from the French government. This last flight of the craft, so poorly begun ended when it was forced to turn homeward with two crippled motors.
The last misfortune was one that could not be averted, but the one that caused delay in starting seems unnecessary. It merely shown again the distrust European countries appear to hold for one another. France objected to a German craft, even in the promotion of a great experiment, flying over her munition plant without first obtaining her consent. It is this feeling of antagonism among all European countries that has made disarmament such a problem and naval reductions practically an impossibility. European countries are constantly expecting to be enclosed upon by their neighbor countries and are ever expecting to find themselves discriminated against.
America, standing relatively alone on this side of the Atlantic, looks at the petty squabbling of these countries, wonders over them, and thanks a mighty ocean that separates Europe from America.

A VACATION OF VALUE
Students seeking a vacation combining travel, recreation, and valuable intellectual and spiritual experience should note with interest the plans of a number of University students to attend the annual student conference of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. at Estes Park, Colo. June 7 to 17. Plans for a special motor bus tour through points of interest in Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado, en route to the conference, are now taking form. The realization of these plans depends on the materialization of a sufficiently large K. U. delegation.
This tour alone would be well worth the time and the unusually low expense which it would incur. However, it is the conference, the association with some four hundred serious minded students, the contacts with the internationally known characters who are the conference leaders, the exhilarating physical relaxation of ten days in the heart of the Rockies, that have the deepest appeal for the studyworn student. Students from colleges and universities in five states will be there. K. U. has always been well represented at these annual conferences. K. U. faculty members have an领办者 at various discussion groups. K. U. students have been ac-
ive in conference administration and in the formulation of conference programs.
The possibility of a large delegation this year is highly promising. Never before has the opportunity for a special chartered tour been at the disposal of K. U. delegates.

A NEW STRIKE
A shortcase strike changed the plans of captains of a fishing fleet recently proving further that the way to a man's heart, and in this case, his head, is through his stomach.
As a result of recent storms, the entrance to Hereford Inlet was closed, marooning a fishing fleet. The skippers were planning to dynamite a channel through the sunken island. Housewives, fearful of the blasts' effect on their shelves of treasured crockery, heated the kitchen strike and an end of strawberry shortcakes for the fishers.
Now, who can resist a tempting shortcase? Not even a hard-hearted, hard-fisted mariner can stand up and turn his back on one even if his ship is marooned and immediate profits of trade cut off.
The hand that rocks the crumble is the hand that rules the world. Granted. But what about the hand that mixes the hatter for a abortake? It may not rule the world but this lit episode in Anglessa, N. J., is liable to give the women of the land an idea on how to handle unruly husbands.

WESTERN DISSATISFACTION
A joint application has been filed, with the interstate commerce commission by a group of Western railroads seeking suspension of the proposed reduction of a 7 cents, hundred pounds in the rates on wheat and wheat products by the Kansas City Southern railroad from Kansas City to graff公路 from Kansas City to increase traffic on the Kansas City Southern and will have drastic effects on the entire Western grain rate adjustment.
Whatever may have been the thought, selfish or otherwise, which prompted the Kansas City Southern and other roads to work out the 7 cent reduction it has at least accomplished one thing, aid to the farmers in the Middlewest. If, in making the reduction, they have had themselves it would seem unfair to protect. As for the Western railroads it is a well known fact that the large sum made every year over the $0% dividends allowed by the government has been profusely placed back into the system to keep from turning it over to the government. There is nothing about which to complain in this procedure for all industries have of late been making large advances and the economic status of the railroads is a vital interest to all industries. However, there is one industry which the high rates and prosperity of the rail companies has hurt to a great extent, and that is agriculture. Other ships are able to sell their goods at a market price high enough to take care of the increase, but not so the farmer. In taking into consideration the critical condition of the farmer at the present time it seems no more than right that the prosperity of the two industries should be at least partially qualified.

Silberstein Finds "Radius of Curvature of Spacetime" Based on New Value
Washington—Write the number 176 and after it put a row of 18 ciphers. Then you will have the number of miles that you will have to travel if you want to completely encircle the universe and get back where you started!
Vast as this figure appears, it is about a twentieth as large as scientists supposed a few years ago. It is based on a new value of the "radius of curvature of spacetime," as the physicist calls it, that was announced to the meeting of the American Physical Society here recently by Dr. Landik Silberstein. Doctor Silverstein is a mathematical physicist connected with the research laboratory of the Eastman Kodak company, and is com-

THE RANGE OF
In a little book the German dirigible "Jung" has one round trip across the Atlantic record on its log will again point its nose toward America. A British dirigible voyaged as these trips multiply, some of the observations made by Lord Thomson, formerly the chief pilot in his book, "Air Facts and Problems," become more pertinent. In his discussion of the probable uses of military aircraft during World War II that should be studied with a great deal of care:
THE RANGE OF AIR ATTACK
"America is still immune from air raids. But in the course of time, ten years, perhaps, airships will cross the Atlantic; in those days, these ships will be built primarily for the transportation of passengers and troops, but they may also serve as aircraft carriers, and thus require an increased threat on a large cecilous million miles. In these circumstances, the authorities at Washington will be faced with a new problem of defense, whose solution, may require a more complex system that meets the actual situation."
Since Lord Thomson made his study the Graf Zeppelin, in its eastward flight of 1928, croused from Lake Superior to the Pacific, and of 4450 miles, in sixty-eight hours and forty-six minutes. What ships of peace have done, ships of war, or armies have been attacked by dirigibles and the opinion of Loro Thomson are respectfully referred to those in Washington who are charge with the defense of these Union forces.

Annually at this season of the year some forty per cent of the Palestinian population were never meant for college men—that they have a life which they never want. This is why an elimination program seriously cripples the University and places a lot of pressure on them.
THE FRESHMAN PROBLEM
Among the many pressing problems now facing the University of North Carolina none is more eminent than Dr. Evan L. Owens, who gives in to the fact that they are working with material which in great part denies any hope of the finished product, this and other American Uni-
In the last analysis, the fault lies with the Freshman. He comes to Chapel Hill from every section of the country bent on a college education—but wignettly. Why does he come to Chapel Hill because of the desires of his parents.
In this age of wholesale education the state of North Carolina is spending $1.5 billion annually to attempt to educate many who are not educatable. This is where the theory of transfer learning is applied.

We believe that no system other than that of a more rigid selection of each in-campaign Freshman class is as efficient or appropriate practice of making the Freshman year an elimination year is clearly an instrument of great waste, a waste effort.
More and more emphasis is being placed on the Literary and fine arts events. The student who can write the best essay, the glee club which can

According to Einstein and his school, space is not infinite. The old idea that one could travel in a straight line would be impossible because a matter of fact, there is no such thing as a straight line, and if a person should travel far enough and long enough that he would eventually find himself back at his starting point.
Pies Short Orders
Yet, they also say, space is unlimited, and this is an illustration of how that may be. If a small insect lived on the globe, he would not be able to leave it, or to perceive anything else off its surface, he could travel indefinitely around it in any direction. He would never come to an island, even if he was endowed with human intelligence, and he or his ancestors had never been able to perceive anything off the globe's surface, he would not know the rest of the world about him.
Our universe, says the relativists, is similarly curved, in some fourth dimension, which makes it difficult to perceive or comprehend. Apparently, we are free to move in any direction we choose, but we cannot move in the direction in which we cannot move, since we cannot commute it. If we could, then we could move in that direction.
But even though it cannot be com-
prehended, the scientist can get some
gimmering of its existence, and
can observe that there is a spherical
sound in which we live. This is what
Doctor Silillester has done.
Using data pertaining to two oceans,
he discovered that the sound is
the Harvard College observatory,
Doctor Silillester has made a new
estimate of the radius or curvature of
the ocean surface, which he
generally called this. Radius is
practically the same when calculated from
either of the two kinds of waves,
and it is at this level a previous
estimate that he made in 1924,
which was based on 18 global star
towers and the moon in space. He

These are evidences that the high school, as well as the college, is placing the proper stress on education. Not only the physical development of the students is considered an extracurricular activity but the event calls for brain power, for talent and real ability, is recognized as of great importance.

ELECTRICITY the modern prospector
A STOUT heart; a burro laden with pick, shovel,
and the bare necessities of life; and the prospector was ready for the gold rush—Sutter's Mill,
the Pike's Peak country, Cripple Creek, Klondyke.
A scattered trail of half-worked claims marked his sacrifices.
To-day mining is a business, with electricity replacing wasteful brine in mine and mill.
The deep mine, with electric lights, hoists, and locomotives; the surface mine with huge electric shovels scooping up tons of ore in a single bite; the concentrating mill with its batteries of electrically driven machines; the steel mill with its constant electric heat—here are but a few of electricity's contributions to the mineral industries.
So in every industry, electricity increases production and cuts costs. It is the modern prospector, leading the way into wider fields and tapping underdeveloped resources—that we may enjoy a finer civilization and a richer, fuller life.
You will find this monogram on powerful motors that drive heavy mining machines. They also make the device sew machines. Both in industry and in the home it is the mark of an organization dedicated to electrical progress.
