Russia in Opposition to British Supremacy, Says Close in Lecture
Stunts and dancing tryouts will be old as soon as possible and the results will be announced early next week.
America Has Determining Hope in Establishing Soviet's Civilization
"Russia, champion of an awakened Asia, opposes Great Britain, creator and bulwark of white supremacy in the East. America holds the determining power. The government of America is still on the British side but it cannot be easily sentient without the support of the American people are more on the side of Russia."
That is the situation of the world political crisis in the mind of Upton Close, who spoke in central Administration building, yesterday at 4:30 p.m. on the subject of the rise of Mr. Close has been for 10 years in close contact with Oriental people and has just completed a tour of Russia. He spoke with great sympathy for and understanding of eastern civilization, introducing the concept of the rise of Chinese culture, comparing it with western civilization. This comparison was in many instances unfavorable to western culture. He said the provincialists and the pro-independence people their civilization as the anex of world cultures.
Inventions Come Through China
Inventions Come Through China
"The fundamental inventions, out of which we have grown a science today, were brought into Europe through China," he said. "Fruiting areas in Europe were created by firearms into Eastern Europe. Fire arms were used by Mongol invaders of Europe. Paper currency was created by the whole economic structure of western civilization were Chinese inventions. In China, the compass was used before Columbus."
Mr. Close pictured the subjection of China by the British empire—the greatest empire the world has ever known. Great Britain had taken of the Chinese through trade concessions, "For the last four hundred years," he said, "China was the only nation rising, having a champion in Russian."
Mr. Close showed how Great Britain's hate and fear of Russia was one of the primary factors in the outbreak of the World War, and how American capitalists had Great Britain's plan to crush the filamentous rushing of Russia, by investing American money in Russian enterprises.
America, the Answer
According to Mr. Close, a prominent Soviet official said to him: "Give us 10 years with American money and skill, and we shall have erased British Empire from Europe." Mr. close British Empire fund for a better understanding of Russia.

Montmattre's Revues
Shock French President
The unity of Montmartre's musical revues is too much for France's bachelor president, Gaston Dommeroug. Invited by French authorities, Dommeroug could not refuse, so flanked by Minister of Justice Barthou and M. Bouillon, former speaker of the Senate, he joined Dommeroug on a rope of Babylon with nude little Babylonians reeling here and there. The presidential curtain was drawn to sisters invited and squirmed in their pearls, the president was annoyed. The final ensemble of the first act which haunted the most beastly of crowds, knocked him cold. Turning to his Minister of Justice, President Dommeroug said:

Means of Finance for Union Building Undecided as Yet
Student Representative
Favor Blanket Tax;
Others Desire
Campaign
That the second floor of the Union Memorial building should be completed as soon as possible, expressed in the joint meeting of the Men's Student Council, the Women's Self Governing Association and the Women's Corporation committee yesterday.
The same divided opinion also existed among the group as to the means of financing the completion of the building. The chief progress that was made in organizing the organization of the opinions already held at the last meeting a week ago yesterday. The student representatives stood strongly for the adoption of the budget, $25.00 a semester. The members of the Memorial Corporation committee thought that the campaign idea was the better and they seriously questioned the legality of the tax and the loan issue on promise of a fee.
Fees Not Surety
Upton McGill, bus28, chairman of the University to investigate the fee plan, reported on his findings. The results of the research of his committee were that $20,000 would be mortaged because it was located on University property; that fees could not be used as surrey for a loan, and that some men holding sufficient property would have been forced to consumerize if they was made. Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the joint committee, reported the attitude of the Memorial Corporation as expressed out of the difficulties of the fee plan giving the instance of the men who had backed the present loan of $20,000 for the past seven years risking their property in such an adventure. Professor Mitchell said that the Memorial Corporation was considerably surprised at the attitude of students to worry about the financial changes in the reception of the plan," said Professor Mitchell.
Prof. W. S. Baumgartner mentioned the salient feature of the Memorial plan was to campaign among each student generation. "The more students they can sell, the million dollars. He said that 'fees would raise no money' and he seriously questioned the legality of fees even though such a levy might be passed by the Board of Re-

Blast of Whistle Sounds Like Threshing Machine
"Was that a threshing-machine whistle?" Roland Logan asked at the buildings and grounds office this morning when he noticed the student was supposed to that it was not. The whistle was broken yesterday. After an attempt lasting half the night to repair it, it became so excited that he tried to blow twice to notify the students there would be a concoction this morning. "The men at the power plant admit they don't know much about it," the student said. "It might be night was spent in attempt to get it ready to sing this morning, but all was futile. More extensive resuits are being made to ensure the sounds like a threshing-machine's summons to dinner.
The repairing of the class whistle is considered a delicate operation by its caricatures, because the tone of the whistle should be avoided if it must be repaired too often.

Mummy's Knee Bones
Cleveland, Ohio, March 2. The age of a mummy 3,000 years old can be determined by the condition of the bones in the knee, according to T. Wingate Todd, of the department of anatomy, Western Reserve University
"Ages up to 27 may be determined with great accuracy by an examination of the skeleton," Todd said "From that age up to 50, errors may run as high three years earlier, and error is limited to a five year period."
Todd gave the ages of 23, 42, and 73 years as the most dangerous agent in a man's life. These years, he explained, had resulted from little allowance to white men are most susceptible at the different periods of their lives.
Knee joints, he declared, compose one of the most accurate indicators of age.

Miss Royden Tells How to Reconcile Science With God
Religion Is in Agreement With Laws of Nature; Easy to Explain Miracles
An anticipating audience this morning, the audience will be greeted when she directed student body at an all-University conference on the subject "Science and Technology."
Science and Religion Agree
Order Shows God's Work
Miss Royden with her decided English features and her unusual pronunciation, gave to the listeners an advantage at once inspirational and interesting.
Science and Religion It is. In it, there is no conflict between science and religion. She says that the only difference of opinion has between theologians and scientists.
"It is important to read modern science and believe the universe in reality," Ms. Muller said, "because for all that happens. We must believe that there is reason in the universe."
The order of the universe in the work of God, Miss Roxen believes. She sheds light on how God is order but who will say that issue is order and therefore significance.
"We are inclined to believe that our personal conception of God is the correct one and that destroys our idea is destroying God himself."
Prayer Is Analyzed
Mike Rieson, in a new and inter-relative manner, gave her beliefs and analysis of prayer. She said, "We elieve in the works of God and we elieve that He is a God whom we an influence to make God do which we empts to do and which he would at otherwise do."
In contrasting science and religion she pointed out that the God in whom we have believe a scientific attitude of mind. His works are universal law, not arbitrary. He called minuses he can not considered so any more. “A thing is power a miracle when we understand it. And in this day when we are curing the body through the mind, where we have proven the truth with faith, through depriving, because of the laws of hygiene and sanitation—that is a miracle.”
God Is a God of Love
She then answered the question, "If the God of Christ is the God of Science, can we believe in the God of Love?" We are masters of this world because we know it has trustworthiness. If we trust in the God, we have power over nature. In this way the trustworthiness of God may be known."
It is the trustworthiness of nature that makes us love her and, in Miss Royden's interpretation, the same is true if we are trustworthy to God. It is her belief that that which we love become like, and, in our love for Christ, then we are at beginning to pattern ourselves after Him.
After the close of the lecture, Miss Royden conducted a forum at which she answered questions from the audience.
Preceding her address, Prof. Waltemar Gelfch of the School of Fine Arts, played on the piano and accompanied on the piano by Dean D. M. Swarthwolt.
