WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1927 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE FIVE Engineer Is Urged to Work on Basic Subjects of Field Veatch Discusses History and Extent of Trade in Vocational Lecture T, N. Ventaugh, B. S., 98, consulting engineer from Kansas City, last night gave the first vocational talk of a series taking up the history of engineering, the present many divisions of the various branches, and lastly the future work of the engineers. Mr. Ventaugh is a professor in the university in 1908, and is now with Ventaugh & Black, Kansas City, as a consulting engineer. Mr. Veatch went back as far in the history of engineering as stories in the Bible, and read selections from Pinyin pertaining to public enterprises, water supply, and habits in ancient times. His purpose in this survey was to show that such work as modern engineers are doing is not new Fields of Trade Are Many The different branches of engineering with their various ramifications were next taken up. Civil engineering, which branches off into railroad sanitary, structural, hydraulic, and highway work, mechanical engineering, power, refrigerating, automotive, industrial and sales departments were included. Electrical engineering, as divided into power, power transmission, telephone, radio, and sales divisions; and chemical engineering and mining engineering with their many ramifications, were all briefly discussed. Mr. Veath suggested that a new division of the whole field of engineering might well be made along functional lines rather than along common elements, and he would mean that there would be four main types: designing, research, construction, and sales, and students would take up their work in one of these main divisions. This system, he added, will appear most evident in graduate work, he said. Fundamentals Are Important Fundamentals Are Important The last phase of Mr. Veitch's talk touched upon the future of engineering. He stressed the need students to start specializing, and plied in particular for emphasis upon such fundamentals as mathematics and science, and fundamental subjects in engineering such as mechanics and electrical machinery. That students keep on learning and add context to their specializedize too young Mr. Veitch's advice. Speaking on the ethics of the profession, Mr. Veatch said that engineers are coming more than ever to recognize the principles of their profession and are trying to build up a high grade of professional conduct Modern Watch Making Belongs to Americans Although First Watch Was Made in Germany The first portable mechanized timepiece is said to have been built 456 years ago this month by Peter Hole, a rockett of Nuremberg, Germany. At first watches were nothing more than small clocks with mainspins nested in boxes. Sometimes they were globular in form and were there-ous. But now they are far larger for the pocket they were frequently hung from the girdle. The watches of the 16th century were usually inclosed in cases which were ornamented with the beautiful art of that period. Sometimes the watch face was made of jewel, cross, purse, or little book, and almost all insimmits it was finely outgrazed. Queen Elizabeth was very fond of receiving presents and as she was also fond of cheeks, a number of preachers prepared her jeweled watches. The exact time of the invention of clocks is unknown. The sandal was the original timepiece and the first clock was made by Plato who is said to have invented the cleopatra or water-clock. King Alfred in the ninth century used graduated candles, the burning of which marked the hour and the minute-glazes were used from an early date. The art of mechanical clock making a thought first to have taken practical shape in Germany, though the exact date is unknown. Clocks were first mentioned during the 12th century. They were made by one of those who once chops have existed since the 18th century. In 1364 Charles V. of France monumned one he V de Vick General Counsel Revises Sets of City Ordinances Albert B. Martin, general course for the League of Kansas Muncie palities, has just finished revising the ordinances of Kimley and Spencerville and left Sunday night to deliver them to these towns. When the ordinance comes in, at a total of 41 sets revived by Mr. Martin will have been reached. Cities which have ordinances covine oring a number of years, many o which are necessarily out of date and illegal by this time, send them to Mr. Martin for revision. His word consists in striking out ordinance which are uncontinual or contravene the law. When there are where they are needed. The Law resice city ordinances were revised by Mr. Martin a short time ago.

Do leading statesmen, concert artists, movie stars, professional and business men and women, and others in nearly every walk of life wear them? DO WE SELL THEM? Because Quality has been the first thought in WALK-OVERS for over fifty years. Never has the temptation to cheapen the product influenced this policy. Walk-Over (Look for this trade-mark) Otw Atcher's WINE APP COOD SHOP Until the last half of the 19th century the watch-making industry was confined to a few British countries, especially Switzerland. Skill was deprived of a large proportion, and was the result of generations of the same type of work within one family. Usually effort was centered on one simple part. In contrast to this, the industry expanded to include impersonal machines for the acquired skill of the individual workman. commanding him to make and fit up a large turret clock at his palace in Paris. De Viehl's cloak was regulated because the gun had not been invented at that time. The new method is conceded to have bind its origin in the mind of Aaron L. Denman, a young Boston watchmaker, and has been known as Howard, raised $20,000 with which to build the first factory. This was the forcemer of the Waltham Company which is now the largest concern of its kind in the world. As a result, modern watch-making belongs peculiarly to Waltham, and this foundation of the system is that of practical uniformity in the form and dimensions of large numbers of any given parts of watch movements so as to permit of interchangeability. There are 100 such parts and 4700 distinct parts required to pat close together. The trumpet of latter years has been the invention of watch-making machinery whereby the price is lower than what it would bring them within the reach of all. R. D. Friend, A. B.
