Endurance Record Holder Wins New Title Saving Lives

Clarence Chamberlain Ends Airship Ride Successfully After Landing Gear Is Broken
--to have that car of your overhauled—
New York, April 25 — Clarence D. Chamberlin, joint holder of a world's endurance record, holds another record today, and two little girls have their lives to his skill as a pilot. Chamberlin, with death reaching out a hand to control his plane, came down from the clouds on a broken men's surfboard an hour in the air. Men and women spent time for him and his three passengers.
The incident happened at Mitchell Field, Long Island. He had gone up in the baskets in which he and Bert Costa took a shot on goal. The passengers were Delois Levin, 39; Grace Jones, 67; and John Carriere, superintendent for G. Ballance.
Gene Smith got into an observation plane and as he was about to take off a wheel of a truck was thrust in with Smith. He chased after the truck and thrust off the wheel of the truck while telling Chamberlin in pantome what was wrong. Everett Chandler also had taken off and circled along side. He, too, gestured that it was not what he understood. The pilot rudged.
Just as the plane left the ground spectators saw that the landing gear had been bumped in taking off and the left wheel was bent in. Alarm knew what it meant and were horrified. The parents of the girls it meant nothing. Mrs. Levine was smiling with pride at the presence of the pleasure her little girl was getting. Quirkly, trying not to alarm the parents, the men got to work.
Disaster Was Evident
Slowly the Ballena circled over the field for nearly an hour; on the ground 1,000 people were now aware of the danger and were watching anxiously; ambulances were running to the scene. A few minutes later no one was unable to land without dire peril.
In the Ballenza, Chamberlain's mind was working speedily. He wanted weight on the tail to keep it from nosing down in landing so Debis, who was seated with Chamberlain, moved to the reeq with Carol. The girls were unaware of the drama. The women had come to the reeq and Chamberlain remarked that they might be humped a little in landing, so "hold on tight."
Field Unusually Rough
Field Unsuspend Hogun
Chambleian was afraid to land on Cortisfield, field which is rougher than Roosevich or Neveck the starred driving low over Roosevich field but the crowd made Michell field safer so a third plane went up with Michell chalked on the side.
Chamberlain, one of the experienced pilots in the business, came down with a precision that made experts on the field give forth thorny exclamations. The plane lighted as light as a star and then flew but with a short arm uprighted.
Carsir in the plane of plane caught Debis in his arms and held her close to his body to shield her. Chamberlain could not do the same for Grace but gave her his seat pad and told her to hold it against her head.
"Thank you for the nice ride," said the girls, still unaware of the danger they had passed through.
C Chamberlain started to disappear but Mr. Levine caught him, threw her arms around his neck and kissed the much abashed man.

The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, which will appear at the University next Saturday, in two concerts in connection with the fourth annual Music Week Festival, is recognized as one of the leading American symphony orchestras.
Music Week of 1927 Is Similar to Festival Established in 1904; Early Aim Has Been Fulfilled
Music Week, born of community singing, has been inspired by the in tune love of music common to all. As music grew, it was recognized outgrowth of the Great War. Prevails to the war it was recognized only by small groups who organized into choral societies, some of which attained proficiency to appear on public concert.
The University has conducted a musical festival since 1904. It was not until 1924, however, that the Music Week, similar to the festival in which we are now participating, was established.
The aim of the early festivals, as announced on a placecard in 1912, was "to provide music of the highest quality and broadest scope for the students of the University and city of Lawrence.
"Each year," said the placard, an orchestra of national reputation has been engaged with a quartet of netted singers, a chorus of over 100 voices has been organized and trained to perform seven pieces, while local artists and the musical organizations of the University have lent their assistance.
"The festivals have become the leading features of the musical life of the community and have attracted many visitors from outside. Financially, they are guaranteed by the Lawrence Merchant's Association, members of the University faculty, and citizens of Lawrence."
The educational institutions of Missouri are getting more than their share of the state revenue available, according to F. B. Meyer, chairman of the house appropriation committee. Because of the lack of funds, the increase of 299,700 recommended by the Senate over the appropriation recommended by the House was called from the informal calendar.
The tax collector is at it night! For the first time in many years the city is attempting to collect a poll tax from University students, and a man has been making calls at the fraternity houses with a mild demand for lists of more people. There are grounds of whether the city fathers will be able to check up on men not living in organized houses.
Colleges of Kansas and Oklahoma will participate in the context and able speakers will represent the different schools. The contest will be held at the auditorium of central administration building. The public is invited.
Rice Lardner Is Speaker for Oratorical Contest
Attempt to Collect Poll Tax From Men Students Recalls Teaspoon Brigade of Nineties
Rice Lardner, c'28, has been selected to represent Kansas in the oratorical contest on the constitution of Iowa. He was the only one, c'28, according to Prof. E. C. Bucher of the department of speech. Tryouts for this contest were held last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in the Iowa State conference with Professor Bucher.
From this announcement in 1912 it may be seen that Music Week is not a new event; it is merely an outgrowth of the smaller festival of one or two years back with the war of the slaughters and wars of the slaughters learned to sing under the direction of regular leaders, and the diversion brought about a genuine Biking for music. When the veterans returned from the war, amoured in by cany scenes, 'o their fellow workers, with the result that within an incredibly short time groups from all walls of life were banding together for the cultivation of singing. This group on the road to establishment of a Music Week.
The last time the city attempted to collect the tax from students the practical jokers on the campus got their heads together with the result that no attempt has since been made to assess the students' annual year. It was based on nineteen a.m. classes who was held for all male students who had reached their majority for the purpose of protesting against the tax levy. A person was allowed to present himself at the city hall to work out his tax on the road, one day's work being required; and it was necessary that the commissioner would have given permission even he presented himself, otherwise his obligation was fulfilled.
The first real Music Week was held in New York City, Feb. 1-7, 1920, when all musical associations of the city combined to bring music in some form or another home to everybody, and then to neighboring communities and in the seven years that have followed its establishment. Music Week has been adopted and considered seriously by communities over the entire country, and it is now the fourth annual Music Week. The program includes every musical organization of the University and city. The observance of the festival indicates an increasing interest in musea of a better class, and growth of the theater in Lawrence and in Lawrence town by the music lakes of music committed to all.
Accordingly, the whole group appeared at the same time to offer their services on the road, and according to one old timer each man took several assistants from the younger members of the student body so that the period of work would be shortened to about an hour.
Whereupon the commissioner, not having work for all of them, and yet not wishing to be entirely beaten, supplied as many of them as they could with shields, and required them to move a large pile of dirt standing in the street to another spot in the room. The man was so on until the time was up. Afterwards a big dinner was served at a restaurant.
Nichols has been the leader in the development of the Country Club district in Kansas City Mo, and his team won goldsmith, of the department of architectural engineering, is a distinct recognition of his position in architecture.
J. C, Nichols. A, B. '02, who spoke recently at an all-university convention, has been appointed a member of a committee of four to advise and assist the government architects and assist the development of Washington, D. C.
Another version of the story is that the men were given teaspoons with which to work but the result was not great. The men were not bothered with the poll tax, and the present attempt to collect it is probably the work of a new generation of city officials who do not know the famous case back in the nineteen-
