(1929) HELL WEEK In these days when a college education is becoming increasingly available for all, when student government associations are functioning, and when education in general is in a healthy condition, Hall Week remains a source of irritation. It interferences with the class work of pledge and active members alike. It is a childish practice carried on by those who wish to restore the heartstrings they received when they were pledges. The uppermiddle fail to use proper discretion, and oftentimes beat pleides cruelly, or make them do utterly nonseasonal tasks. A number of accidents occur each year from the activities of over-enhilimic tormentors. University administrations till over the country are fevering upon Hell Week, particularly because it is carried to extreme. Fraternity chapters are too prone to advertise their celebrations of Hell Week, so that they disturb the peace and property of outsiders. The composed benefit derived by the fraternity is to test the mettle of their prospective brethren. That is indeed a manger virtue" compared with the proposterate means of procedure employed. When boys become men they should put away childish things. There are plenty of ways to have fun without Hell Week. Sober thinking interites害官 ablished it. TRAIL BLAZER Colonel Charles A. Linderberg 1 again opening the way to new achievement. First he made the epoch-making span of the Atlantic which brought him his initial hotting glory. Then he swam through Latin America on a highly successful mission of good-will. Now this in-depth blazer of acerial trials has embarked on another flight of international significance. It is fitting that he should be the one to undertake the actual opening of an air mail routes directly connecting North and South America. The name of "Lindy" is a symbol of friendship to all people. His record shows that he deserves his singular eminence. His name stands for moments accomplishment through difficulties. He is no "tin rod." His achievements serve as models for others. He is a trailblazer—one who extends horizons. THE NEW SECRETARY? The departure of Henry L. Stimson from the Philippine Islands, where he has been governor general, has led to the belief that he has been offered the position of secretary of state. Stimson issued a statement in which he said that he was leaving in order to take up another duty at the request of president-elect Hoover. From the standpoint of efficiency and experience Simpson would be well qualified for a post under the new administration. He is well regarded in his party ranks and in the country as a whole. He has been a public official for years, serving as a federal district attorney for southern New York, making an unsuccessful campaign for the governorship of New York in 1910, and as secretary of war during Taft's administration. He served in the World war as an artillery officer; and in 1927 went to Nicaragua as the personal representative of President Coolidge to settle the dispute between Adolpho Dix and Juan Sacco, both of whom claimed the presidency. Soon after hostilities were ended he was named governor general of the Philippines. Another point in favor of Stimson is the fact that his appointment is being advocated by Charles Hughes and Elliott Root, both former secretaries of state, who feel that Stimson's character, attainments and record have fitted him for the place. THE WAR IS OVER the "war" in the nation's capitals is over. It was not a battle of gunboats and bombs, but instead, a police strike battle over the leadership of the Senate Lady's Club, Under ordinary circumstances the office usually goes to the wife of the vice-president, but as Senator Curtis is a widower it was thought that the presidency of the club would be filled by his sister and official hosts, Mrs. Alfred E Gann. But the members of the club decided that their presiding officer must be the wife of a member of the senate. Accordingly, the wife of a New Hampshire senator was elected to the position, while Mrs. Gann was not even nominated. Social wars are not so destructive to life and property as international struggles but leave wounds that may be just as hard to effect. Social prestige is as eagerly burgundy for as political prestige and probably many women go through life heart broken over their failure to achieve it.7 It is rather regrettable that in the nation's capital, where problems of nation and state are paramount, friction over insignificant social matters should make life milder for the politicians' wives. He who twiddles his thumbs will never get a finger in the pie. When we hear a man that talks a lot we always remember that the light bulb that rattles gives no light. We wonder if the birds ever thought of having erasure flights We have heard time and again that the presidential cabinet is made of denuded wood. The late snow and ice falls have provided a wonderful opportunity for people to get rid of their ashes. Now we cut off our toes to fit shoes, instead of getting shoes to fit our feet. Our understanding is getting smaller. Scientists now think the earth is fully a billion years old. Maybe that's what's the matter with it—it's in its second childhood. An enterrising journalist dreamed that he was appointed to the Kansas Board and made news editor. An ex-news editor, who heard the dream related, remarked, "That wasn't a dream, that was a nightmare." Social prestige is relative—it all depends upon living in a town where you are better than the average. The tinkle of sleigh-bells has become the rattle of tire chains. Professor Millikan, of the California Institute of Technology, removes one cause for nervousness in this worried world. He tells us that the sun should shine on Earth more often as it begins to burn, another sun will develop to take its place. WHY WORRY NOW? But it searches seems worth while to be concerned about that second thing, the way it will wait for it. Probably it will not seem as bright and warm as the sun will. Today's Best Editorial so we will string along with the sun we know—our old friend and neighbor. We will grow dim and go and find a problem in this town will be solved, temperance will succeed prohibition, war will be abolished and the girls will be taught to again. Yes, a billion years will be enough for us. Professor Milliken should not bother that second we are housed by him to need it. —New York American London, Feb. 8—Hailed by mathematical physicists as rucking in importance with the newly published Einstein paper, Dr. A. S. Edinburgh, Pitman Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge University, was just announced to the Royal Society here the results of research upon the charge of the electron. Relativity and Quantum Research Results in New Value for Electron Raising his work both on the theory of relativity and the quantum theory as light, Professor Eddington has found a formula which enables the charge of matter to be calculated. He explains that when certain types of which stones are made, to be calculated from two other values, he proves that the value should be a whole number. As a result of these purely theoretical considerations, the famous Nobel prize experiment of Dr. R. A. Hilman, physicist of the California Institute of Technology, in determining the According to the most recent form of the quantum theory, which supposes that light travels as separate bursts of energy rather than as a continuous emission, the electrons are not tiny particles. They either consist of, or are associated with, waves, in some peculiar manner.

To make it more tangible, today money makes the pre-run cost Indirecter not a man recently who thought the Kanan was supported by his newspaper directly, supported that he indirectly. The newspaper is supported by its subscribers, because it is the subscribers' second most often to be so far as cash is concerned it is the other way around. About 25 per cent of the Kanan's revenue is from the newspaper, and about 10 per cent from the advertiser. The story is the same in every newspaper office today; and is one generally known to those who read the Kanan is no exception. Every congenitive newspaperman is continually alert to keep this from happening, and he knows that if his readers desert him the advertisers will disappear also. He learns that he can be forced to face him; that is, he must use that advertising is not run as news but, rather, it is read. Concretely, in the Kannan's case, it means that Hill activities which expect the Kannan's support are also expected to support the Kannan when asked to do so. The University public is a matter of advertising and not of news. The Kanman is among the most expensive of non-curricular University enterprises. To continue to exist it must have advertising; and when students do not pay for nothing that they should pay for they are injuring themselves indirectly. For without the publicity given in the Kanman news columns University enterprises would and themselves hard out to teach students. "A remaining minor plant has been discovered."

An Indian mutiny, if the silent screen is not restored, will not be noticed but may be really dramatic nevertheless. Brocklyn Daily Eagle The two figures that Professor Edilton has used in computing the electric charge of the electron is the speed of light, which has been known for a long time. Dr. A. A. Michelon of the University of Chicago, and what is known as Planck's quantum constant. The physical representations of electrons in such situations of mutation, like radio waves, differ in frequency, or the number of vibrations per second. The faster the vibration, the more energy there is in a single atom. This can be calculated from this equation. This energy is equal to the frequency multiplied by the quantum constant, which is named after Max Planck. This quantity is known as the quantum value of $h$ is 6.05.

Quantum Theory Is Faced Professor Edington explains out that he has developed a formula for calculating the electron's charge from the velocity of light and the quantum theory must exist, but the results have not been found. According to the results of his reasoning the charge is a whole number, 156. In his famous experiment he measured the value, Doctor William obtained the value 173. Although this is less than one per cent greater, the difference is small for scientists to be entirely satisfied. "I must hope that in this case theory has succeeded in beating experiment," said Professor Eddington in an explanatory statement to Sister Lydia. "If experimental determinations will confirm my value, If this theoretical value should prove right in the end, that does not, of course, disarrange the brilliant experimental work which determines at any rate due to the truth."

"Our ideas about the quantum theory will need to become much clearer before physicists generally (including myself), are quite satisfied about it.
