Television Lecture Last Night First to Popular Group
Dr. Herbert E. Ives Gives Illustrated Discussion of New System to Many
"Nobody knows how soon television will be used in actual practice. At present the limitation of television in use is an economic one," said Dr. J. Kendall, executive director of "Television" at the University auditorium last night, which closed the annual Engineers' Day program yesterday. "If that one were to put in a television call to a friend it would be necessary for him to put a dollar in the slot in order to see the person to whom he would cost an ordinary call would cost a nickel.
The lecture last night was the first story of television ever to be presented to a popular audience, according to Chancellor E. H. Lindley who spoke at the School of Engineering, Dean Shaud said that in choosing "communication" as the general theme of its year's engineers' day they were fortunate in securing the foremost authority and communication, Dean Shaud said that Doctor Ives is responsible for the progress that television has made today.
Photo-electric Cell Discovered
"A light sensitive device was necessary to development of television and this was discovered in the form of the photo-electric cell by a German physicist, who first discovered the electric spark. In experimentation he used a device which he thought was of no use but which turned out to be the radio.
The photo electric current necessary in sending photographs by wire is provided by a capacitor and adds instantaneous transmission to the requirement," according to Doctor Porter.

Slides Illustrate
The strength of the picture is according to the current used, according to Doctor Pex who said that the one which is sound recognized as a whisper if used on a telephone. Nixon was which element in the process of television.
Doctor Iver' lecture was illustrated by slides which facilitated his explanations. He illustrated how a great number of elements could be placed on the opic nerve at all and used this as an analogous to the many elements which must be scanned by the rotating light disc in such quick succession to the movement of its instantaneous
The swiftness of spots of light showing an extremely small element of what is a picture is so fast that one seems to see the entire picture at once. It is important that no bad light be used. This scanning process is very wasteful of light
Transmission Hardest Problem
Herbert Hoover in visiting the Bell laboratories in New York said, "In many ways the television system can and must aid Hoover in the web wel- liness."
Transmission is the hardest problem of television at present, according to Doctor Ives, who stresses that if it should be simultaneous and that while only one electrode goes at a time it goes at a speed that we expect, then the picture waves themselves are transmitted and the synchronizing current causes the picture to be sent out and the picture is returned to the large number of elements to be transmitted at such a short interval the cost is prohibitive and it has become more difficult for the increased number of elements to be sent over those sent in an individual photograph. Because of the cost it becomes more difficult for transmission to interface with the telephone.
T. Speak at A. L. E. E.
10 Speaks
Doctor did not use a loud booster since it would tend to limit his movements on the stage from one instrument to another. However, people perceive him well even as Dean Shand, who said that is no way of knowing how many guests attended the lecture through it is known to have 200 people registered in New York City.
Doctor Fess will give his lecture at the regional meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers at St. Louis on Thursday.

Women Choose Managers
"In those days writers were men of letters. Now they must be men of business," Mr. Garland said. He then told of receiving $30 for his short stories, and gave it from $1700 to $500 for stories of the same length.
"What we are today, we are in transit," he said at the conclusion of his address. "There is a faculty of writers." Don't make the mistake of thinking that any literary vogue is final. Do as I did in closing a book of criticism—remember that a new generation of rebels is coming on, andodge against

Clarke, custodian of the reservation, who made the excavation, said he discovered crudely cradled board was lying over the body, which here a shell necklace and was accompanied by three pieces of pottery.
In the other burial the crudel board was underneath the body. Four pots were found with it. Both burials had been wrapped in matting, but moisture had erupted in and spilled it over a small piece could be savored.
It is believed that the prehistoric buildings at Wupatki were constructed by the Skauke family of the Hopi Inca, located in the Great Grand Canyon, where, according to their mythology, their ancestors came upward from the Underworld. The Hopi, or People of Peace, are among the most picturesque of existing Inca settlements.

Jean Groe* Marianettes, which will appear here at the Auditorium to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lawrence the largest collection of marianettes in the world. SIXTY puppets will be used.
More than one thousand strings are in operation during the performance, some of the marionette pieces need to be acquired the necessary action. Because of the extraordinary interest in the marionette industry, many requests by enthusiasts to be allowed to see behind the scenes, Mr. Gros has promised to remove the projections and allow the evening audience how the puppets are made to perform their various and interesting tricks, by allowing puppeteers be seen at work on the bridges.
The artists engaged for this type of theater are creators, not performers, versed with capable of doing many things with their voices and with instruments in the company. A musical might be a trio, a contralto, a pianist, a violinist, a harpist, drums, popperets and more.
Mr. Gros negotiated for several months with the Mark Twain estate for the sole privilege of presenting the famous story and it was only after he made a point that agents of the company that the marionettes would be able to present Towney Sawwer and Huck Finn in all their glory, that they were able to get final permission to present the famous Mark Twain story in a mariette costume.

Nicaragua Is Test of Our Democracy,
Says J. N. Sayre
Y. M. C. A. Forum Speaker Has Recently Spent Two Months in Latin-America
"Nicaragua is a test of American wisdom, which we cannot understand. It is to democracy or become an empire," said John Nevin Sayn at the noon, Y. M. C. A. forum atumn.
One Remark Prevalent
Mr. Sayre, who has recently spent two months in Central America, personally saw General Sandino, the so-called Nicaraguan outlaw who is calling for an end to the United States marines. Carleton Beales who is writing a series of accounts for the Nation is the reputed first foreign correspondent to reach Sandino, but Mr. Sayre spoke with him. He said he was able get in touch with him.
The one remark which is so prevalent in the Latin American countries is that they are less likely to see people and most of the Americans we know here, we like, but the deaths of many immigrants last thirty years and most recently are piling up hated which will last longer.
"The people of Latin America are still trying to believe in the democracy of the American people but they don't understand that of our government," said Mr. Sayre.
The case made for the intervention as given by Doctor Cumm伯里, the financial advisor of the University of Wisconsin, was announced in into these five headings: Nicaragua needs peace, financial reorganization, inter-communication, health and education.
U. S. Giving Friendly Aid
The action of the United States as explained by Doctor Camblin is that we are giving friendly assistance, carried on at the request of the Nicaraguan government which is an effort Mr. Sajres said that he believed Camblin deeply sincere in his beliefs and that many people of the United States feel similarly, believing that they are being hurt in their reasoning.
The speaker then explained how the country of Nicaragua is living under a dictatorship. The military, economic and political status of the country is all under the guidance of the American marines. The military control of the Americas, of all telegraphs which are sent in carbon copy of each other, is under the control of the marines. America is acting in the capacity of dictatorial 100 per cent one soldier. She is playing a key role.
Marines Are Judicial System
"The maries are said to be doing police work, but as the force of Ninaguan, they are not responsible to any of the officials of the President of the United States. In reality they are acting as judge, and there is even court administrator all in one."
The meeting was closed with the statement, "Is our government to be a government for bankers, or will we restore the faith in the sincerity of our country from a wish to carry on the principles of Washington and Lincoln?"
