Hamlin Garland Picture Westward Movement and Succeeding Settlers
"I am glad that I was born early enough to catch the dying echoes of the pain's dying songs, and to back in the light of the dying fire." These were the words with which Hamlin Garland closed his address, "West-East Bread of Settlement" at the all-University contestation this mourning.
Garland spoke in the slow rhythmical prose of one of literary ability not in conventional form, but in the song of a romantic age now almost past. He was reaed in town, and is the true son of a moment.
"Pioneer Life Unique"
"The life of the pioneer had never before been seen; it is the development of the western continent," the author said. He went on to explain that never in Europe was there a pare with the pioneer movement in this country from 1629 to 1820. In Europe invasions had been done by organized force and by tribes. The pioneers experimented single-handed invasion.
"For nearly 300 years our father have been led by the trail-maker, and it is only the self-relentant that could tackle the task of pioneering are survive.
"It was a tragedy," Garland said, "that our fathers were uninstructed in their fate when they landed on the shores of New York, Virginia and the other colonies. None of them knew how to camp or make a fire or how to hunt and trap animals. But it was hard until they did the average—the red man.
"The worst lurked," he said, "and the,
followed. Through peace and war, day
by day, the grandson of the Oxford
became the master of the new
birth."
*"Pomeringe at first was very simple. Sons would leave home to look for a place for themselves. At first, they would go up the valley. Mile after mile, valley after valley they went until then had New York and Pennsylvania come to look beyond the Alleghenies, at that time as unknown as central AT
Migration Was Homeric
ward moving line of foresters looked day
"Discounted sons continued to migrate, and slowly they followed about them. They felt themselves to be instruments in the hands of the Lord. They were infidels."
Trees Used as Ambushes
"At the close of the Revolutionary war many mote came west, and rushed into the provinces whose western boundaries were unwavered for more than 100 years. Thiers was the never ending conflict with the Indian. Not only did they have to defend themselves against the red man, but also against nature. The forests were met tice and pleasant, but were dark, dense and wet."
"To the Indian the forest was a home. Every tree and every bush was an opportunity to not follow their fear and it was impossible to foresee their attacks. The white man was forced to attack the Indians, but were the men protectors, but the women and boys no older than 12 could handle the riffle and the tomato."
"The women, and put them with grim and ugly men in Georgia said. "Too, they reaused their children in constant fear, and in the face of constant danger." The advance was like the slow march of an army; camps and camps would be brief intermittent, always there was continual advancing. Trails became roads, taverns sprang up on the roads, and villagers grew around the taverns.
Pioneers Were
farmers and understood that our
pioneers were foragers. There was little
chance in the methods of settlement
and farming in the years between
1620 and 1870. Then the holder sons began
on out of the pastures of Iowa, Missouri
and Illinois and realized that there
was safety at a farm. They were the
inmates of the unseen foe. Quickly
the habits of the hunter were lost and
they became farmers and inventors.

Progress up to that date was almost entirely to the desire for new lands and cheap lands. The domain of the red man and the woman getting smaller, the pioneers were home builders, parklanders and farm-

"Pigs is Pigs" Says One Author but Here is One Little Animal That Defies All Laws of Nature
Pigs will come and go and the armor will prolet with certainty that some will develop into hogs. But there is one pig that neither the doctor, lawyer nor the butcher can make develop into a hog.
This particular pig has few of the ear-marks of a registered pig. He has no ears and all veterinarians have pronounced him a mixed-blood. Almost neither the means of locomotion nor the ability to grant, he never goes humry.
Unlike the butcher's pig, he has a neat, clean, silvery color throughout. Never does he have the urge to migrate in the spring or fatherless and motherless, he has never been known to squeal for food of brothers and sisters in each other.
The life of this fatherless pig in most cases is short. He may hyer his tail, he may be encroached directly from him, and his birth to the soup kettle, where he is gradually lowered into a soup bowl from 500 to 650 degree Fahrenheit.

"But the cowboy was only a tran- tion figure. He slid from his saddle hung up his spurs, and took up the plow.

The material pioneering is done. We have only to look back to the campfires sparkle and the prairie schooner*
Garland closed with a quotation already given show him his gratitude for having been born soon enough to grasp the last of the pioneering age.

Charles F. Scott in Race
for Governor
K. U. Man Announces Candidacy
--from which type is cast, and from which the news of the world is printed.
Wichita, March 5- Charles F. Sectit, for 45 years author of the Iola Daily Register and 10 years a member of congress announced his candidacy for governor of Kansas on the Republican ticket following his arrival within this morning to attend the convention of the Republican party.
In making his announcement Scott declared he was in the race to win and Clive Reed as a number of persons had stated. He said he believed his record for public service is such as to warrant an addition to begoverned.
Charles F. Scott was graduated from the College in '81 and was granted his Masters degree in '88. He then joined the Alumni Association and is now a director of the association. He has spoken many times to universities at the University and at a banquet in Topeka during the Sigma Delta Chi, university journal-
Class Whistle Returns to Its Former Position
Hurrah! The old whistle's back.
After an absence of three days it again raises its wings. No more does it sound like a small boy whose voice is changing or the cry of a threepenny man. It returned to the deep bass tones which have so long welcomed the freshmen to Mt. Ordan and bade farewell to the
The hospital to which the whistle was sent for treatment over the week end was the Lawrence Iron Works Repairs had been made by the employees at the power plant but the team kept them busy. The coat snelt up. It was necessary to rebuild it completely before it was again ready for service.
Not only has it gained its grand opera ability as a singer but it has added to its accomplishments by inking up an old-fashioned, high-cally call with a short drop in tone which can only be interpreted as the "UoOo" at the end of the Rock Chalk yell. In its efforts to please the audience, he gives give the famous old yellow with them.

Welcome back, oh whistle!
The process of making lignotype is simple, but is considered by the printers to be the hottest job in a printing plant.
After type is once used for printing news it is thrown into containers and remains there until the lack of water causes the metal to leak. From the containers the metal is taken to the smelter, usually located in some dark corner of the printing press, where it is melted and these old time wash-nots, only it has a small opening at the bottom.
Once the metal is placed in this smoker it is heated to about 500 or so degrees. When the metal is hot the metal is clean of its dross and possibly a toning metal is imbedded.
The next process is to open the smoker and permit the molten metal to flow through a spout into the molds that shape the pipes. The molds hold about two pounds of metal and rest on a frame that rotates around the smoker.
Underneath and just touching the mollusks is a continuous flow of water. Water flows into the pipe, it runs into the molluscs, and also permits the operator to remove the pigs from the sink.

Dr. H. E. Ives Makes Possible the Age-Old Dream of Seeing Great Distances by Television
Television is so young that it ha
but little history. It was just las
April, on the seventh day of the
month, when this age-old dream was
realized, and when it was shown that
by means of suitable electric circuits
it is not only possible to carry a
speaker's voice, but also his living
life; and by means of needing the same as being in two places at the same time.
Credit for this achievement goes to engineers, working under Dr. Herbert E. Ivens of the Laboratories in New York who evolved the concept to maximize apparatus of the television. Doctor Ivens will lecture Sereon tonight.
Apparatus Complicated
The telecommunications use of the transmitting and receiving stations is extremely complicated and consists of many parts coordinated to a high degree of precision. For example, the synchronization between certain resolving parts of the transmitter and receiver, although those may be separable, are usually coordinated to one tenth-millionth part of a revolution, according to R. W. King, engineer of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, that they have practically all been available upon the shelves of the electrical engineer's workshop for years. The electrical elements are the product of telephone research and have been used for varying lengths of time in the service of the nation. By a scientific arrangement of these instruments
Rays Emitted Through Holes
Rays Escutted Through Holes
The main operating unit at the station receives rays of light intensity, inceded in a light proof compartment. Rays from this light are cnnitted through 50 holes in the compartment and one or more that one complete revolution of the disk will completely cover with spots a screen or object upon which the rays are focused. As the disk is involved in the scrapping of the disk it will be evident that the screen surface will be completely over-run by spot flashes 15 times a second. On the other hand, the apparatus; both the sending and receiving ends are timed by an ingenious mechanism so that they run at uniform speeds. The time of transition between the two processes is less than one fifteenth of a second.
If now, on the sending end, the spots of light fall upon an object which has variation of color, such as a blackboard or a whiteboard, from the object in varying intensities, according to the degree of lightness or darkness of the minute place on the board. When this occurs, falls. When this is accomplished 15 time a second, it will be apparent that the entire image has reflected light spots of varying intensity with such a high variation of sight, that the optical effect, because of retention of vision, is one of continuity. In reality, the spots of light on the object reflect only a shimmering effect is noted.
Light Picked Up by Cells
In the object, the varying degrees of reflected light are picked up by photoelectric cells. It was nearly fifty percent of the cell was conceived when Henrich Hertz made the chance observation that the light of an electric spark could strike a photoelectric spark between a near-by pair of electrodes. He showed conclusively that the light of the first spark, by the use of two electrodes for the next spark. This later led to the development of the vacuum tube containing a sensitive metal surface forming what has been called a photoelectric cell.
Three of the largest photo-electric cells which have ever been built were used in the test made last spring be held up to the sun. The impulses of light picked up by these cells are intrafixed five thou sand billion times and sent over a distance of one mile. Here is a receiving screen made of a mozaic of small neon-gas filled bubbles. These bubble will soon glow with an orange light, as being bringing to the lightness of the same spot
The analogy of television with the function of sight of the eye is evident in retina is composed of infinitesimal spots which are individually connected and run back to the optic nerve. So the retina is composed of 2,500 individual neon gas light squares, each square containing a pixel that the distributor which picks out and transmits to that wire the impulse which the original image has caused
Although the success of television depends upon the persistence of vision of the eye, it is apparent that it depends equally upon practically a complete absence of vision in the photoreceptor cells and the persistence of vision in the photoelectric cells, there would be a blur on the screen of neon gas bulb.
Everything Is Ready for Big Mass Meeting to Be Held Tonight

Sayre to Address Y. M. C. A. Forum Luncheon Tuesday
Prominent Peace Advocate Also Will Debate Prof. Alter at Night Meeting
John Nevin Sayre of New York, widely known lecturer, minister and editor, will speak at the Y. M. C. A. luncheon tomorrow at 12:30 p. m., in Myers hall on the subject, "Quartet—Test of American Democracy."
In the evening, at 7:50, Mr. Royze will debate Prof. Dismanty Alacer of the department of astronomy on a topic he has never before should be the attitude of a Christian toward participation in war? As Acker said in his last lecture, the Y. M. C, A, this probably will include a discussion of the ethics of military training for students who will deal with the attitude of the student who attempts to be a Christian in his philosophy of life toward militarism.
Mr. Sayre is secretary of the Fellowship of Rescueclubs; president of the Committee on Vice-chairman of the Committee on Militarism in Education. He is minister of the President Enciso church church, who is a representative, virtue, where he formerly taught.
During November and December, 1927, he visited Niemanburg, Guatemala, Salvador, and Costa Rica, on an expedition that lasted two years. He was a Fellow of Recollection and the American Friends' service committee, and his travel time since the war and has traveled around the world once. He has also visited the United States and the famous Labrador missionary.
Of Mr. Sayre's experiences and qualifications, Teal Sullivan says, "Sayre not only works for peace now but is one of those who held fast to the same values during the war and held the price of differing with popular opinion."
Professor Alter, with whom Mr. Sayre will debate tomorrow evening, is also an authority on the issue of war and has taught at ten-tcolled field artillery during the war and a reserve officer of the same rank now. Professor Alter has written several articles which he will be able to draw material for his debate. He has made inward changes in the curriculum debate with Mr. Sayre will be the first experience, of his kind, for him, Professor Alter is now chapbook of the American League at Lawrence.
