Gold keys were presented to eight seniors on their election to the fraternity for only the highest one-fourth of the membership. The following seniors were presented with keys: Virginia Arnold, Ione Aikem, Florence Bruce, Louise Ridway, Selma Klennan, Milton Paul, Lisa Hansen, and Eddon Ardley.

New Invention Shoots Photographs on Steel With Lasting Effect
The "Mummoe Effect" Reproduces Picture of Its Originator on Metal Disc
(United Press)
Washington, May 21. — Shooting a photograph into the hardest of chroma steel with the aid of high explosive nitro-gelatin, and so making a photo of its depth, will yield a steel itself, is the font that has been accomplished as a result of the "Munroe effect." This was the effect discovered by Dr. Charles E. Murroe, a professor at Barnard College in Brooklyn. A result of the work is the proof that the blacks in a photographic print are due to varying thicknesses of steel, as evidenced by the thicker the deposit, the darker being the shadow in the photograph.
The steel photograph was made recently by G. St. J. Perrott, superintendent of the Bureau of Mines exposition in New York, sent by him to Doctor Munroe. To make it, a photograph of Doctor Munroe was laid on a piece of steel two inches in diameter and an inch thick, shaped piece of the micro-galvanic explosive, which was then fired. Though the paper photograph was completely destroyed, when the steel cooled surrounding it, the shaped piece of the micro-galvanic Doctor Munroe was found impressed on the surface. Where the photograph had been black, that is, in the shadows, the surface of the steel was dark, like the high lights, the steel was incised.
Solid Is Converted Into Gas
Another example of the effect that is in Doctor Murene's possession now was made by W. O. Snelling, director of Company. In this case the words "Murume Effect" were impressed into the surface of a block of the explosive powder, and when it was exploded on a disc of the steel the letters appeared on it. However they were also in intaglio on the disc and what would be obtained with a die, for then the intaglio letters on the disc would come out in relief on the surface.
Doctor Munroe explains the effect by saying that when the detonation of the explosive occurs, the entire amount of the solid is converted into gas. When the explosion momentarily has the same size and shape as the original block of the explosive, and is therefore extremely compressed. Where there was a cavity in the original explosive is the line where the material moves to the rapidly moving air molecules.

Lindbergh Plans Greater Feats on Anniversary of Epic Flight to Paris in His Famous Plane
"For years the farmer has been compelled to buy in a high market and have to wait for prices to surge during the war did he get profits from this arrangement, in which price is set at $10 per bushel and then However prevented them from taking advantage of this opportunity."
But Lunberger is not content. The anniversary of his flight finds him enaged in plans for what may develop into even a greater feat. He

That, he argued, would give the farmer more control over his farm bill does not become a law."
"Congress gave him the right to set a minimum price on wheat." Reed said, referring to his own experience with the price. It was a bane assumption of power. I say this not because he is a candidate for President. I made the dream that he would have the authority to offer himself for that post, and dreamed that he would have the authority to offer himself for that post to the United States to get products for foreign countries at cheap prices. He said that he would have a cheaper copper and, like an English gentleman, said so. The other was interested in what he used somewhat different methods.

New York, May 21.—One year ago today, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh dropped down out of the skies in a plane that crashed on the ground in popular hero of recent times.
In the year which has passed Lindbergh has been more continuously in active form and more actively than any other man on either side of the ocean. He has flown on a nationwide tour, visiting every state where he has been stationed. Central and South America, Cuba and back to this country. He has made innumerable flights with congressmen, with dignitaries and with most every lay he has been in the air.
In seeking to escape, they collide with each other, producing a vast number of tiny molecular drills, which bore into the hardest steel.
Reed charged that Hoover's object was to obtain cheap supplied for foreign countries.
Using the same principle, Doctor Munroe uses a blow a safety with a hollow cylinder of dynamite. He took a bundle of sticks of dynamite and threw it through the center, he pushed out the center sticks, and bound together the other ones so as to form a ring. This he exploded in a vertical position upon the floor of the top of the safe corresponding to the hollow center in the ring of dynamite sticks. This hollow cylinder had acted upon the gas molecules through the steel.
Any thin object, such as a leaf, or photograph, can be reproduced on steel in this way, said Doctor Munson. The differences are not to be obtained. The explosion has the effect of greatly magnifying slight differences in thickness, such as between the silver in the shin and highlights of the photograph.
Believing that rushing methods at Northwestern should be revised as soon as possible, 18 fraternity presidents and 19 other interfraternity organization and have venerated unanimously to restrict rushing next fall to the old regulations of the university.

Its purpose was to investigate the possibility of Europe again; and second he is interested in establishing an air route from England to Scotland to practical than the "Lindbergh Trail" with its two thousand miles over open water.
It is possible Lindbergh may even extend his 1928 flight into a trip around the world. He probably would not yet convince of the feasibility of crossing the Pacific by airplane even by the northern route through Siberia.
His tentative plan embraces the use of a Ford plane, probably more powerful and larger than the "Sprint of St Louis," and designed especially for long-haul travel.
Lindbergh has not definitely decided whether he will undertake this flight to Europe although he is determined that it would be easier for him that he was forced to drop from his itinerary in 1927 because of the clamour that he return to receive his honor.

Col. Robert Stewart Goes on Trial Today for Senate Contempt
Echo of Tea Pot Dome Heureu as head of Standard Oil Fares Charge
Washington, May 21.—Robert W. Washington, chairman of the Senate油气公司OilGene today has attempted to软化 the Senate contempt indictment against him. He is scheduled for testimony.
Faces Charge
(United Press)
Justice F. L. Siddons in District of Columbia Supreme Court uphold a government denouncer to Stewart's "pain in bar" against the indictment of his deputy, in his plea that he purged himself of the contempt charge by a later appearance before the Senate Teapot Dome committee, at which time he testified fully and answered all the questions he previously had refused to answer.
The government contended that Stewart's test in April was not given until after he was indicted, that his action "separing himself" with the Senate Committee could not settle his case and the law which demanded punishment.
The questions which Stewart refused to answer, when he appeared before the Senate Teapot Dumie Committee, included his knowledge of the famous Liberty Company. Stewart said he did not personally receive a dollar's profit from the transaction, but he refused to pay it out of the money about the discount of the bonds.
Stewart, a lawyer before he became one of the loading oil man of the nation, faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for vicious. If the recent conviction of Harry F. Sinclair on a similar charge is a criterion, the jury can do little but return a verdict of guilt, as the judge said. But the question of whether the witness did refuse to answer. And in this case, as in Sinclair's the government has the record, wherein the witness and respectively decline to answer."
After Stewart was indicted, however, he appeared before the same committee and disclosed that he was responsible for depositing all the money which he said he deposited in a trust fund for the companies involved in the old deal from which the profits were taken.
