News Sketches Subject of Favorable Criticism
Jean Bennett, president.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
A gaudy yellow and black cover attracts the attention of interested readers in Spooner Library to Ben Hecht's new book, "A Thousand and One," which is a book in a collection of newspaper sketches, few of them more than a thousand words in length, originally written for the Chicago Daily News. The New York Tribune's critical writer, David Katz, writes in America who can touch him in imagination and literary treatment of police court happenings, hospital cases, streetcar incidents—all the multitudinous events of the day. He is a poet; he is a wit; he has feelings, and has a sense of drama."
Kansas Members May Resign From American Architectural Society
competition Rules of Institute Are Too Stringent, Says Goldsmith
That the members of the Kansas chapter of the American Institute of Architects may resign from the national organization in a body, was said to be a possibility by Goldwin Goldsmith, professor of architecture. Mr. Goldwin was sult of a conviction on the part of Kansas architects, that the competition rules of the institute are too stringent. The matter will be discussed at a meeting of the Kansas board held at Toreka about October 22.
The Kansas Society of Architects, the Master Builders' Association of Kansas, and the Midwestern Structure Association will be on Toronto on Oct. 22 and 23. They will also hold a joint session. On the second day of the meeting at Topeka, there will be a banquet, at Goldsmith is to be the tonaustmaster,
The institute rules were discussed at a meeting in Washington last May, and since that time Professor Bashar has straightened the matter out by correspondence. The national organization says that it will not do for the Kansas group to resilient. The reply to this request was either, while endearing to raise the public taste to the standards set by the institute. Starvation would surely result from conformity of the F-8+ sea chamber content.
The national officers think that conditions are had here in Kannas because of the Kannas chapter starters. He said he would accept Goldsmith says conditions are just as had all through the Middle West. He received a letter just a day or two ago from Texas which said those conditions are even worse.
To Make Bridges Safe
Bureau of Standards Perfects Electrical Measure
Washington, Oct. 16.—The measuring of the strains of bridges, skyscrapers, airbags, and structural material in general has been made possible by electricity through ust of a device recently perfected by the U. S. Bureau of Standards here. It has the great advantage of being available anywhere although the gauge itself may be in a difficult and inaccessible location.
(By Science Service)
The principle employed by the inventors, B. McCollum and O. S. Peters, is that of the varying electrical resistance of many closely adjacent thin carbon plates when subjected to a compression or pulling strain. The material used for such applications but until Uncle Sam's experts got busy on the problem there had always been insuperable difficulties in the way of practical application of it.
The device is small in size, being about ten inches long, less than half as wide, and about an inch and a half thick. The reading apparatus is a specially constructed voltmeter. By connecting wires from the instrument to an oscillograph graphic records of stresses have been made. The invention is not only very sensitive. The strain has passed that it may be used in the measurement of vibratory or transient strains with a duration no greater than one thousand of a second.

Members of Scabbard and Blade will meet for an informal but IMPORTANT business meeting, incorporating company representatives to a钻 drill, period, Wednesday, Oct. 17.

Don't Kick! Because You Can't Go to Nebraska
Most of us are in the same fix—we can't afford to make the trip with the team, but we can afford to do the next best thing. We can see the game, play by play, on the big electric scoreboard in Robinson Gymnasium.
Every thrill is there, as those who "saw" the West Point game on the scoreboard last year will testify. Two minutes after a play has been executed on the gridiron, hundreds of loyal "fans" will be feverishly, anxiously, hopefully watching the movements of the little light across the "field" of the scoreboard, recording accurately just what has happened.
If you can possibly go on the "special" to Nebraska, by all means do so. But if you cannot, you must not pass up the chance to see the game at home.
