New Color Test Device Invented by K. U. Student
Chromopathometer Used by Psychologists Here in Laboratory Work
A chromopathometer, a device by which it is possible to measure the effective color values of colored lights used in illumination combinations are preferred by both senses was completed this summer. We will discuss it for the department of psychology.
The idea of the chromophometer is original with Walton and, so far it is known, there is no other device that can measure the color of colored lights. The instrument required two and one-half years time to build and perform these tests that have recently been completed 800 subjects have been examined to determine their relations to different colors.
Men Like Blue
From a test of 343 University men it was found that blue was the color preferred by most men and green ranked second. The same test given to 344 men revealed that most red ranked second and red ranking second and blue third.
In these tests it was shown that the intensity of red has a definite effect upon the preference for the color. If the intensity of red is higher, the hair will take preference over colors he
For color combination we recommend to most men white while women favored clear color and green. For men and women in general, red and blue was
The chromopathometer further revealed that man is more constant in his choice of color than is the fait women prefer a combination of one urated color in combination while saturated and one unsaturated color.
Experience Faxes Response
"I respond that the color is not entirely a new response," explained Mr. Walton, "but is result of all past experiences regarding the same color. Every time we have an experiment or situation, an impression is registered in the nervous system and the response that is registered when the chromatometer test is made is related to these former impressions."
Other uses of the machine besides determining the effective value of colors and which ones are the most pleasing and appealing are to deform glass in a fluid or in a fluid of special apparatus to equate the intensity of lights to illustrate after images, to illustrate the method of colorizing photos taken on a parent size of different globes, and to deform the reaction time of colored lights in combination. The above uses have all been tested in laboratory, and the results tabulated.
In a perceptibility test, it was found that the person who posed in front-point bight for one twisted width of a second was named correctly twice while blue was not correct.
Yellow Most Reactive
In a time reaction test it was found that we react quickest to yellow and then white, red, green, blue in the order named.
The mechanism of the chromatometer consists of four projector locations on the screen for each projector, frosted glass for show for each projector. Behind the screen
New Safety Plane Devised in California
With wings inherently stable, this new airplane designed at the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics, California institute of Technol-ogy, will allow of making the airplane entirely safe for the individual owner, according to announcement made by Science Dr. Robert Milkan of the institute.
The new "ship" is made after a design by Albert A. Merrill, once an astronaut who never aircraft experimenter. Though he was told long ago that his idea was worthless, he persevered for more than 15 years, smallly to prove its value.
What first strikes one who sees the plane for the first time is its short
But most novel about the wings is the fact that they are not rigidly fastened to the fuselage. The two wings are fastened rigidly, together, and pinned to the fuselage about the wingtip. This result of this design is that the wings
are stable in themselves, and not dependent upon the tail surfaces, as in the ordinary blase.
stubby tail, which extends only for about four feet back of the rear cockpit. There is no stabilizer, though there is a large vertical rubber. The upper wing is under the middle of the lower wing is under the middle of the top on. There is a four degree positive decalage, as the acroplane means that if the lower wing is horizontal, the upper one slants forward upward at an angle of four degrees.
The angle of the wings with the fuselage is controlled by a crank handle by the pilot's side, connected to the wing. This takes the place of the elevator of the ordinary plane. When the pilot wishes to ascend, he merely sets the nose down and about them until he is high enough, then he sets his level, and continues horizontally. If the engine stops, or if the pilot deliberately shuts off the engines, the plane stays on a slant line, but is always horizontal. Under such circumstances the ordinary airplane might stall and go into a tailship, probably with disastrous results.
there are resistance fuse, plug boxes and switchboard.
Five natural colored bulbs are used each projector and the colors may be combined to create two or more bulbs can be combined on the different projectors and a combined color throw
The Chronopathometer test may be given to a whole class or to an individual, as the glazing at the frosted glass windows on which are thrown the lights and the individual's reaction to the color is checked upon
7.000 Students Last Year
That Figure Includes All Who Took K. U. Instruction
Nearly 7,000 persons received in instruction from the University of Kansas, either on the campus or through a tutoring program in the academic year 1927-28, it was shown by figures compiled during the semester by George O. Foster, reg.
The total registration in winter session, summer session, and in extended session was 1,788. In one division, 1,788 were registered in more than one division, leaving a net of 6,828 registrations.
The figures in detail, as compiled by the registrar;
Registration, winter terms, 4,666
Persons registered in more than on school, 192; Different persons on campus, winter terms, 4,474.
Summer sessio registration, 1680;
Sumner students also in winter classes, 917; Persons in residence, but not in summer; and different persons in residence, 5,377.
Total in extension division, 1,669;
Extension students also in residence,
382; Persons registered, but not in
residence, 1,297.

Enthusiasts Believe Radiovision Broadcast to Increase This Fall
Pioneering Now Under Way Is Expected to Add Speed to Progress
to Progress
Washington, Sept. 18—Radiovision and radioovisers will be received in thousands of homes during the coming winter. Thousands of amateur radios will receive their own radioovision receivers and early this fall ready-made radioovisers will come on the market. Radioovisers will be the novel and really smart Christian technology that predicts those behold the scenes in radio experimentation.

At present most of the radioimmones are in pantomime only but increase in "picture quality" will come with experience and perfection of transmitting methods. The recent assign-ments to radio communication of new and wide bands of short waves for radiovision will spur on the development.
At present radiovision is in a state corresponding to the crystal set days of sound radio in 1921. But the growth of radiovision will be faster than was the growth of sound television, and we can use tool and make their own radio sets. The vogue of home construction of radio sets has waned because

In the early days of radiovision only the expert saintmateurs and set up technicians were sentient and satisfactory results because of the fact that most of the radiovision broadcasts are now on wave transmitters and that people can hear and speech broadcasts. Their pioneering, however, will make the day of radiovision in the ordinary parlor more exciting.
