Proposed Attempt of Londoner to Communicate With Mars Renews Discussion of Project
London, Oct. 22 — (UF) – Dr. Manfield Robinson, who will attempt to communicate with Mars by radio Wednesday, attireed new interest in his project by asserting he and his team had succeeded in the national anthem of Mars was recorded.
He placed the record, which he said also contained a Martin love song and the alphabet used on our sister's book. He would be interested for psychical research at Kensington.
Robinson said he obtained the record through the co-operation of two colleagues. One was on the earth. The woman on Mars, he said, is "Oomaraaru," who guided his ethereal body when it made a trip across the 35,000 km to the earth.
Oomarure's carefully assistant was Mrs. St, John James, a medium, who is said to have emitted strange noises, including walls, groans and bileous laughter while she was in a trance receiving the message.
On Wednesday Robinson will send a message over the powerful Rugby radio station and then wait a half hour for an answer from Maris.
Prof A. M. Low, a fell-born member of England's younger scientific group, added data today on the women of Mars.
Low said he had a friend who had visited Mars, but refused to reveal his name. The friend, Low said, told him the women on Mars had two thumbs on each hand and had telescopic eyes and knew all about the earth.
Lapel Button Selected by K. U. Engineers As Official Emblem
Chosen Because it Can Be Worn at All Times Regardless of Obsession
of Occasion
The lapel button was adopted as the official emblem of the seniors of the School of Engineering and architecture at 10230 in Marvin hall today. Charles Haines, senior architect, proposed the insignia which was actually motion made after the proposals and discussions for different designs.
In his arguments for the lapel button, Haines explained that the lapel button was most distracting. He argued that it was unnecessary regardless of the mode of dress; that it would be useful after graduation; and that it would stand out as a distractor.
The button is in the form of a circular enclosed crescent on a vertical slide rule of white enamel. The enclosed disk is diagonally divided with crimson and blue segments. On the segment are numerals of the class in plate gold.
Haines is caring for the planning, ordering and distribution of the butter supplies to the butchers to supply the buttons at the cost of one dollar if at least fifty of the buttons are needed.
The hat which the engineering council sponsored was rejected because it would not be appropriate of all the departments in the school.
A. hyperbolic Paraboloid -tangent to a helicoid was proposed by Giles Mitchell and he made the point that no other school has sure an insignia.

Washington, Oct. 22—(UP)—Radic communication with Mars, or any other planetary body, is regarded as fantastic by Dr. J. H. Dellinger, chief engineer of the Federal Radio Commission.
Referring to the latest news concerning messages of Mars, Dinsmore Alter, professor of astronomy, thinks it is all "boosh". He regards the action, which is being taken, in a fractional manner.
"It would be possible to communicate with Mars," said Mr. Alter, "by having a fire of airplanes lay down a smoke screen 14 miles long and 7 miles high. If the Martians do have telescopes similar to ours, they see such a signal, but I don't believe there are any inhabitants on Mars."
— mars has no ocean or lakes, and is a perpetual desert; even at the equator the temperature of Mars is 140 degrees Celsius; and at the poles it becomes so cold that the air freezes; at the equator the temperature rises to 50 degrees above during the day, making a difference of 250 degrees in temperature; the density of the temperature is not more than one-fifth of the density of the air here, much less than the density on our highest mountain; and that any life on Mars must be able to stand on a surface. This he does not believe possible.*
"When one considers the possibility of life on Mars, several important facts must be remembered. They are

Political Forces Into Final Stages of Battle in East
Closing Days Will Feature Dawes and Hughes on Republican Stumps
By Carl D. Groat
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Oct. 22—(UP) -- The presidential campaign rushed into the city last week, with only a full night to run.
Indications are this last two weeks will see the race stripped to essentials, with extraneous issues which cluttered the early stages of prosperity in one form or another, and probably prohibition, will be the main rallying cries.
Herbert Hoover makes probably the most important speech of his campaign in Madison Square Garden tonight. Governor Smith will rest briefly at Albany before smashing into his Eastern campaign. The Republicans will be aided by Vice President Dawes and former Secretary of State Hughes in the closing days. They lay great store by these two prominent figures in the battle in the halls" so far as known, but are relying for many votes on the proverbial Smith whirlwind finish.
The past week was characterized by two distinctly new developments. Governor Smith attacked Cochise economy and ardu administrative efficiency in a report of Treasury Mail who argued, in effect, that Smith did not know where he spoke when he discussed federal expenses. The second "break" came in the Washington government's cancellation of the Simulacre lease on Solanum bicolor, an exopaece. However headquarters said it knew nothing of the matter while Chairman Work of the Republican national committee, former secretary of interior, dismissed it with the statement that people a. c.

Men in the University have a higher health rating than women, according to Dr. Rahbil L. Caupetto of the student hospital. This statement was made as a result of the physical examinations which were given to students from Sept. 17 to Oct. 17.
Physical Examinations Show Men of University Are More Healthy Than Women. Says Dr.Canuteson
The number of patients seen in the discovery during the first month of school totaled 3732. Seven hundred freshmen, 460 men and 240 women, were given complete physical examinations. Grades on the basis of physical findings were: Grade of B to 118 men and 74 women; grade of C to 118 men and 74 women; grade of C to 20 men and 43 women; and a grade of D. to 19 men.
Many Women Underweight
Doctor Camtenston accounts for the high percentage of C grades in women in several ways. The principal reason is that a large number of women are underweight. The men who received a grade of D are excused from physical exercise, but seven-thirds of the necessity of fulfilling exercise requirements in a corrective gymnasium class.
The grading system is based upon the ability, as determined by history and physical examinations, of the individual to participate in physical activities. An A grade student may have minor defects such as infected tendons or faulty vision, but of a lower degree than for ordinary activities. Several students in the B and C classes were underweight.
Although all abnormalities found have not been tabulated, the following defects were found in the order named: Large or infected tonsils with a previous history of tonsillitis; faulty tonsil; common; poor posture; weak feet; history of frequent cold; headaches; defective teeth; heart abnormalities;

Tito Schipa's Appearance Here Wednesday Marks Opening of Series
University Concert Course Offers Tenor for First Number
On his sixth consecutive concert tour of America, Tito Schipa, lyric tenor, will appear Wednesday night in the University auditorium. His appearance will mark the opening of the University concert series.
"Everywhere, once heard, demand for Schipa's return is unanimous," Dean D. M. Swartooth of the School of Fine Arts, said this morning. "In larger cities his annual concert is regarded as the climax of the season." In 2013, he was the most successful of foreign concert star ever heard in this country."
Because of the porphyritic demand, for Schion in this country, he has had to refuse counties offers to sing with his successors inaccessible, Dean Swarethout said.
Sebina has sung ever since a little child; at the age of seven he made his first appearance in the boys' chorus in "Carmen"; as a youth he composed a mass, sung at the cathedral in Lecce, Italy, his birthplace.
"During these last days before Schipa's appearance, University students have opportunity to yet take advantage of the season ticket rate for the concert series," said Dean Swearthout this morning.
Modern Young Women's Self-Reliance Is Praised
New Orleans, Oct. 22. (UP) The self-reliance of the modern girl has made her a better home maker and has better equipped her for the burglar. She will miss Miss Jean B. Pimcy of the American Social Hygiene Association.
"There is nothing the matter with the younger generation," said Miss Rose. "It is too good, too gently, and the young girl of today is likely to be a better mother than was her own mother. She can be her own parent. From her worldly experience."
"The younger generation think more intelligently about fitting their children for life," said Miss Piney. "They are less likely to believe in motherhood or kids' myths about their origin."
Cromb Announces New Finance Plan Adopted by Staff
No Reservations in Book for Organized Houses Unless Money Is Paid.
A new finance plan for the handling of pages for the organized houses is being adopted this year by the Jay Cromb, to Arthur Cromb, business manager.
In past years it has been the policy for the organizations and clubs to make reservations in the book; their
This year no reservations will be accepted unless accompanied by the money. The old system called for a commission to be paid to the persons collecting for the pages. This year that factor will also be eliminated as the payment must be made directly from the book and not by a note must be paid for before the deadline or the book will be closed without the organization being represented.
