Oldest Book in the Dunlap Library Is Pontani Opera, Printed in 1574
Ry Wendell Curry
One of the finest private collections of books to be found about the Hill is that one owned by Prot. C. G. Dunlap of the department of English. Professor Dunlap has about 10,000 books and is clad several first editions and rare old books. The collection is at his home on Kentucky street.
The oldest book that he owns was printed in Latin in the year 1514. The name of this is *Fontain Opera*, a splice of its more than 400 years of age, the book is in a fine state of preservation. One of the hinges is broken, but Professor Dumpl exp expects it to Chicago to have it repaired.
The library contains more books dealing with nineteenth century literature than the literature of any other period. The collection has been made with a definite aim in view. There are four miniature books devoted to Shakespeare, his works and criticisms and annotations of his works. The collection
One of the books most cherished by Professor Dunlap is an edition of Beowulf printed in 1833. "It so happe that I should go and read it," John Kemble, an Englishman, issues in 1833 a so-called test book of Beowulf of 100 copies, to see if it would prove worth reading. The old English poem. The 100 volumes were quickly absorbed, and as a result this volume is exceedingly rare. Dunlap bought the book in London.

Bill to Go to Hoover June 1 Leaders Say, as Senate
The senate became involved today in a deep-seated dispute over the secures last week to confirm President Hoover's nomination of Irwin Leerow, or
Argues Secrecy
A sensational demonstration against the secrecy rule is planned by insurance firms in open open and daring the majority to espionel them for telling how it was done.
While these matters were absorbing the discussion among the senators, staffers and campaigners, and tariff bills was developed far enough for congressional leaders to ask the senate to bill the tariff bill by the end of the week and that the conference would send the bill to the House.
Both committees presented the well known opinion of their respective house committee and a dedicated benture plan and the house committee serving notice the house would never be.
The conferences are expected to last about 10 days. Leaders predict the conference will be in its intended so the bill can be sent to President Hoover for signature about it.
Powerful tariff ammunition was obtained today from the Democrats from an unexposed source, while house Republican leaders were prepared to deal with it, so they can work out an early vote on the impending bill in the house.
Vice-President Curtis handed down to the senate a report from the tariff commission, showing that in 1924 a bill recommending a reduction in the sugar duty of 1.76, the present rate, to 1.23 cents a pound. The lesser figures represented the difference in cost of-production and the United States at that time.
In view of the fact that Republicans are now planning to boost the Cubanate to 2.40 cents a pound, the report is another example who are fighting the proposed raise.

of books on Chaucer and Beowulf is also long and rather valuable.
"I have a rather limited field." explained Mr. Dunlap, "so my literary concern is English literature mainly, but I have also studied Irish literature. I have taught courses in this and in Shakespeare. Beowulf, this is of practical use to me."
A rather extensive collection of books written by native Kanans and written about early Kansas furnish a good resource for the history of the library. Many of these are devoted to the colorful figure of John Brown, whom many loyal Kanans consider to be an important figure.
The walls of the room rounding the books are adorned with portraits of famous men of literature. One beautiful portrait is very fond depicts Dante among the Shades. This is a reproduction of an original fresco in Florence, Dante's father.
Mr. Dunlap has been a member of the faculty of the University of Kansas, where he is time children of some of his earlier students have sat in classes under him and have grown to the institution it now is and has added in its development. He was also at Ohio Westean in Indiana, Ohio, and took his degrees from Akron.
One of Professor Dunlap's hobbies is collecting etchings. He has several of these that are beautiful and valuable.

Inquest Into 124 Cleveland Deaths Is Opened Today
Only Five of 36 Victims Yet in Hospital Said to Be in Serious Condition
Cleveland, Ohio—(UP) —A formal public impetus into the cause of 124 deaths in the Cleveland Clinic disaster was opened here today.
Of the 36 victims of the explosion in hospitals, only five were reported. Three of these were expected to recover, while the other two had lightened.
(1 Salene Servilien)
Washington — Nitrogen oxide, redish brown corrosive gas that is first formed when methane reacts in substance that spread disaster in the Cleveland Clinic explosion, in the opinion of Dr. Emanuel Gorilla.
Nitrogen Oxide Caused Deaths
When the mass of X-ray film stored in the basement exploded and burned in its confined quarters it gave off great volumes of at least two dangerous gases, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide. The explosive sort of photograph: film is made of cellulose nitrate and is produced in polymer bottles. It is poisonous.
The most probable explanation of the cause and progress of the explosion was given here by Dr. Charles E. Hammond, Jr., who served as chemist of the United States bureau of mines. Having his figures upon its eyes on navy ships, Doctor Murroe inspected the materials made at Edgewood Arsenal to ascertain the cause of powder dissociation on navy ships. The minute after the explosion of photographic film the resulting gases must have been dearly carbon monoxide and about a thour of corrosive nitrogen oxide. These gases, produced in large quantities by explosives, were the second explosion was probably due to the ignition of an explosive mixture of the carbon monoxide with oxygen.
Death List May Grow
Wherever large quantities of photographic film are stored there is the langer of a repetition of the Cleveland Clinic disaster, provided the film is in good condition and ready for quality. For X-ray photographs satisfactory acetate base films have been available in recent years and many are used in using this safer sort in their work.
The Cleveland Clinic Foundation was the site where part of the reorganization that resulted in George W. Cohen's bipolar theory of living processes.
Carbon monoxide is the colorless, odorless gas that is responsible for deaths when auto engines are allowed to run in closed garages. The brown fumes of nitrogen oxides sometimes have an insidious delayed effect. For example, if a car engine is hotter may be found to grow as the hours pass. Those brought out seemingly but little affected at the time may find their lungs seriously damaged by the corrosive gas and a chemical reaction in some cases with fatal results.
