Signs of Life Can Not Be Observed on Moon--C. T. Elvey
俏
Small Objects Can Be See With Modern Apparatus; “Canals” May Be Mud-Cracks
"Contrary to theories that have been advanced, the moon is absolutely dead," said C. T. Elvey, instructor in astronomy. "There are no signs of people, no signs of activity or of volcanic action."
"There is nothing that would indicate that there has ever been life on the moon, and with telescopes that they now have, scientists can see objects as small as the dome of our capitol at Washington. It has no space. If it didn't survive it too be too rare to support life," he added.
Nights Are Extremely Cold
“One of the most interesting things to the average person is the fact that you can see a moon, but that the same side is towards us at all times,” said Mr. Elvey. “This phenomena is due to the fact that the moon turns on its axis much faster than much slower, making a revolution in one trip around the earth. This takes twenty-eight days, so that the length of time the sun is above the horizon is fourteen and as great as ours.”
The nights on the moon are extremely cold, the temperature going down several hundred degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The moon's gravity is very strong and radiates heat quickly, and the temperature soon reaches that of space.
The moon is our nearest heavenly body, being some 240,000 miles away, and as yet no body has been discovered closer than that. On the side of the moon that we see in the sky, it is compared to those on earthell are much larger. There is one range, the Appenines, that average 15,000 feet high. This is considerably higher than the mountain ranges on the earth. Besides the mountain ranges on the moon, we can observe 30,000 craters ranging from over 100 miles in diameter, one being 140 miles long. It is really a valley but looks at this distance like a crater.
Observation Negative
It is a question whether they are
exposed to meteors. There are two
hypothesis one that they were pro-
duced by impacted meteors, the other that they are of volcanic origin, explosion or eruption.

"We can also see about 10,000 cracks or rills on the surface of the moon. They look much like mud cracks, and are probably caused by the shrinking of the moon. "It is probable these cracks occur in response to air pressure that there canals on the moon built by an extinct race," said Mr. Elvy.
Friday, Nov. 16, will be observatory night at the University. It is open to everybody. "No application need be filled out as has been posted." The moon. The moon is the main object we be observed and explained.

Older Boys to Hold Y. M. C. A. Conference During Thanksgiving
Railroads Grant Reduced Rates to Lawrence Pending Session Week
More than 800 boys are expecte to attend the Older Boys' Conference of the Y. M. C, A, here Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 and 2.
Representatives from Hi-Y clubs of high schools all over the state, boys from high schools having boys' clubs,

"Life Investment" is to be the theme of the conference, and all parts of the schedule will emphasize this aspect. Students are likely to inherit possibilities of every high school boy's life, and will challenge him to "invest" his life in his respective high school in the way that will equip him to effort both himself and the school.
Reduced rates to Lawrence, by the conference certificate plan, have been granted by all railroads. Sessions will be held both mornings and afternoon, some of them at the University and some at Haskell Institute.
Registration for the conference have been pouring into the office of B. V. Edworthy, state secretary for education, with a goal that registrations must be in before Nov. 24. The fee is $3, and each boy will receive, free of charge, tickets to two banquets, an official conference foe, a noviure given by the University, and a conference proceeding containing out of the conference photo.

Here's the Aggies Goal—
"Why I Should Buy a Royal Purple
"Because——
An advertisement for the Royal Purple, Aggie Annual, contained the following paragraph:
"A large book sale will enable the staff to include additional features which will make this Royal Purple put K. U.'s "Jayhawker" out of business and thus secure more students for the Aggles so we can beat K. U."
K. U. Students:
Are you going to back your Jayhawker with purchases-or are you going to let the Aggies "put the Jayhawker out of business?"
It's up to you!
