GLIDER TOURNEY IS COMING SPORT
Rock Chalk for K. U Flyer of Motorless Plane May be Not Such a Distant Event on Mt. Oread
Valley Air Meet Proposed
Clubs Forming in Colleges and Universities Throughout Nation to Promote Soaring Flight.
A thousand faces uplifted to the sky; a thousand voices raised in a "theater" of laughter, and another trophy that this becomes a lone bird-man, high in the sky, has brought to victory the University of Kansas entry in the glider tournament.
Such a scene may come true, granting that plans proposed for a *Mississippi* club mentioned at the GILder Club meeting in Marvin hall tuesday, Jan. 22, materialize. Gilder clubs are being held throughout the Middle West, and elsewhere, and such contests between championship of districts, to decide championship of districts.
Glider Is Basis of Present Plans
The world ows to the daring of men like lionheart, Chimata and the tiger. The world ows to the pettence in flying with gliders, the science of flying today with motor cars.
The knowledge that a man-machine be-better-than-air machines might be supported eventually led to the installing of motors in gliders, and the invention of aircraft.
With the invention of the motor driven nonplane, the use of glider waked, and became popular in the World War German aviators, whose aviation activities with power planes were able to use their own gliding as a cheap form of sport.
Germans Pioneer Motorless Planes
This limiting of engine power of motor planes by the Treaty of Verona saves, has resulted in the revival of 20,000 members and 200,000 members are learning to use gliders in the hundred or more clubs in Germany. Commercial aviation plans allow pilots to be "girl graduate" before licenses are allowed. Tournaments are held, and great advancement in new records being made at each museum.
Gliders Resemble Huge Kites
This reawakened interest in noil almost forgotten sport was introduced by Edward S. Evans, of Detroit, Mich., millionaire sportman and former Olympic champion who recorded which he lost to Cant, C. B. D. Collyer, who was billed lost full life.
Mr. Froes has formed the organization known as the United States Air Force, with numbers in many states. Cubs have been formed or are being formed in many of the countries represented by the U.S.
The method of taking off in a glider resembles the method used in launching a kite, a ground crew pulls it down and then launches one difference in that several men hold the glider to the ground until the crew pulling the rope. When the glider has reached a height of 25 or more feet, they pull and sail away on the wind.
Fordmund Schulz, a German flyer,
holds four glider records which are
endurance record, 14 hours, 8 minutes;
endurance record, 20 hours,
hours, 21 minutes; cross country
record, 46 miles from start and landing;
elevation (above starting point);
flight duration.
A thorough knowledge of wind currents is essential in gliding, as well as a knowledge of the geography of the country over which one is flying. A second is the ability to navigate of air that the pilot depends to get altitude for extended flights.
Conference Is Called for Mental Hygiene Students
(Science Service)
Boston, Jan. 29—Massachusetts, a pioneer state in putting in practice science knowledge of the pre-historic era to improve case, will set a new historic milestion with a conference of social workers and scientists, to be held here Jan. 29.
The conference has been called to discuss the role that mental hygiene plays in the functioning of social work, and is expected to be one of the outstanding events of the year.
"Mental hygiene, a new science, has grown at so rapid a rate that to occupy the attention of many people, programs dealing with social relations," the organizations declared in "2014."
The prevalence of mental disease in the United States has been recently documented. A study reported cent of the hospital base in this country are occupied by mental and physical illness.

Fossil Brains Are Found
Scientists Discover Specimens of Fish in State
(Seleene Service)
Iowa City, Iowa, Jan. 26—"The poor fish's brains were fossilized."
That is not a part of a slang conversation; it is a statement of sober scientific fact, and a record of a really remarkable biological discovery.
These little specimens of fossil brains are found in small sounded nodules, often about an inch in diameter. The brain is hard, shaltable, and break open by frog action. The break shows the bend of a small hard-scaled fish containing, besides the skull, bones of its vessels, the eye, soft parts of the skull, and impressions of the bones. Wherever found three nodules contain, besides the body, of the same kind of fish, known to scientists as Rhinodinichthys, known from more complete specimen studies.
Since water and fat make up the greater part of the brains of fishers, it would seem impossible for such things to be preserved in stone, yet the early settlers of Kentucky have been preserved; in the Kentucky Mississippi, the period just before the great coal beds were formed, and in the Kansas coal measur
Recently, Prof. A. O. Thomas University professor taught the knowledge of the distribution of these brain-containing nuclei by the discovery of an association.
Need Manager Position
Filled at Book Exchange
Applications for management of the W. S. G. A. Book Exchange for 1920-28 should be made before March 31, 2015, and present in a copy indexed paper.

The manager is paid a salary of from $50 to $150 for the year, the amount depending upon the success of the Exchange. Any one interested Miss Carman should, say, see Dean Williams, whom applications should be made.
Women wishing to become familiar with the work of the Exchange may apply to Miss Carman for work in the Exchange between semester this year.
Five Teachers Start Work
These women have accepted teaching positions for the second semester, according to Prof. H. E. Chandler, and are serving as librarians; barmay: Mary Lydick, **29**, to teach Spanish and mathematics in the Coefyville Junior High School; Emily Morgan, spec. ed20, to teach in a T-room; Emily Sweeney, spec. ed28, to teach in english, civics, and music at Scottsville; Aie Houton, A. B. 25, to teach English in the T-room; Aie Houton, School, and Grae Windsor, A. B. 29, as music supervisor at Pleasanton.
Natural History in Films
Graduates of the University Find Positions in Schools of Kansas Beginning Next Semester.
Extension Division Has Pictures for Use of Public School Instructors of Kansas.
Living natural history films, representing fifteen years of palm-oil production and are available for educational usage in the public schools. The Bureau of Education Extension Division has these films for distribution to the various cities.
This series of picture teams with the fascination of animal life from all parts of the world. The rexes are moving pictures, and the animals are moving pictures of the animals, but the story of their lives. A succinct studio was built to handle the subject matter and many trips into remote corners of the globe were necessitated.
Some of the subjects of these films are as follows: The Antelope Anes, Birds of Pray, Dangerous Snakes, Life History of a Frog, The Silk Mouse, each of such subtitles that would be of interest and of educational value to students.
