Haskell Power Plant Damaged by Fire; Loss Estimated at $10,000
Flames Get Good Start on Root Before Discovery by Engineer
Fire damaged the Haskell power plant yesterday at 4 a.m. The estimated loss was $10,000, according to a superintendent of the Indian school.
The cause of the fire was an overheated breach or the connection between the building and the stack. The brace was pulled off the roof and had burned practically all of one side of the roof before it collapsed in charge of the night shift.
When the water was turned on, a little difficulty was experienced by the firemen on account of the press that came in from the stuck pump in the power plant.
By 7 a. m. all alarm was over however, and the fire was practically cut. Repair work was started today and the building will be finished by 8 a.m. The system of the building was not affected by the burning of the roof.

Only Time Can Cure Wound in Pompadour

"Whether his hair was too long or whether he became too interested in the controversy in the mind of a certain professor in Fowler schools who is in charge of the job."
A cruel jerk loosened the hair and the silky black threads hung to the only drill case. The young man was trying to get his hands with the most careful brushing of the surface of his pompadour find become a bit ruffled. "It's one of those kind of wounds that only those can see," the optimistic damal of "affair."
A student with a long, sloppy, well-groomed pompadour of black hair was bending diligently over a wood pattern on which he was working. He became so engrossed in the impression which a rapidly revolving fan spat out his mouth that his pattern that his head bent narrow and nearer the drill as the impression deepened. Strands of the "patient leather" surface became disarranged with the indication of the head until one ill-fitted lesk was found.
Prizewinning Snapshot in Journal-Post Taken by Sergeant D'Ambra
The picture is unusual because of the fact that it is extremely hard to take a picture of such a gun in action. The shock from a twelve inch gun is great enough to lift a man almost eighteen inches in the air. In practice, you can see the camera was snapped at the exact moment the枪 was fired.

Engineers Get Equipment
New Laboratory to Be Ready Next Semester
Installation of high tension transformers and circuit breakers in the system is going forward. The high tension laboratory will be ready for use only next semester, according to the instructor in electrical engineering.
Current at 2300 volts will be supplied to the high tension laboratory room. One of the circuits will go through the switchboard and oil circuit breaker and go out to the rock crusher at the west side of the campus. The other circuit will be sent to the cement plant with a current 110 volt three-phase current for experimental work throughout the laboratory.
With this equipment connected, it will be possible to have 110-volt current for experimental use with comparatively little trouble. Previously we used a large motor-generator in order to get 110 volt current when wanted.
The work of setting the equipment is being done under the direction of Prof. Warren R. Neumann.

The bulletin takes up the states having poll tax laws, showing that at least twenty-fourth-eight states have poll tax provisions in their constitutions or statutes, and every year millions of dollars are treasured from these sources to fund them.
Resumes from Canada, England and other foreign countries have been received by Harvey Walker of the Municipal Reference Bureau for a bulletin on "The Poll Tax in the United States."
This is the first time that a thorough study has been made of the poll tax in the United States.

Mr. Ferguson was a student at the University from 1900-11 and again from 1913-14. He was prominent in the department of journalism and member of Sigma Delta Chi. Many will remember Mr. Ferguson as "Pug."
The men were on their way to take pictures of the wreck of the seven destroyers at Point Honda. Most of the way the giant seasplane was in a dense fog, but finally reaching an altitude of 1500 feet they came to a sort of clear layer, roofed by cirrostratus clouds. In Mr. Ferguson's room, the walls are painted, which relates the experiences with which he encounters and the sights he sees.

The second open forum of University students to discuss racial relations at the University and elsewhere. Myers hall to tomorrow at 4:30 p.m.
At the last meeting a great number of questions were brought up. There was not enough time to cover them all and a few will be taken up tomorrow. Some of the most vital and most interesting questions are: What is social equality? Do negroes want social equality or social justice? Is the press an agency of reconciliation between races? What is the existing condition and treatment of negroes at the University?
