Sherwin E. Kelley Tells Adventures Of Canadian Trip
Graduate Club Presiden Makes Trip Through Northwest With Wc
Wife
Sherwin F, Kelly, B. S., '17, president of the K. U. Graduate Club, who has just returned with Mrs. Kelly from a trip through Canada, has a very interesting list of experiences to recount.
Mr. Kelly is acting as a representative of the C. and M. Schlumberger Co. of Paris, which is developing electricity to methane prospecting.
"Leaving Lawrence late in July we proceeded to Winnipeg where we met the rest of the party going to Lake Athapukapun who examine some mining prospects. There we outfitted ourselves for the woods and took a train for The Pus, a small trading town on the banks of the river. We came into a small stern wheel steamer took up across Nawer, or Sturgeon Lake.
Traveled by Canoe
"On disembarking at Sturgeon Landing, the end of the run, we were met by a party with several canoes, and proceeded up the Sturgeon River, a stream sixteen miles long, flowing from Lake Athapaskeau into New Lake, and having many rapids there. We rode down to the river but which we "shot" coming back this region has so many lakes and streams that all travel is by canoe. But the old style of caneing is out of date up there now. These days the well-to-do trapper buys an Evinor "kicker" as they call it, hings it over the stiles of his cane and rushes along at ten miles per hour, crossing the river again to the gulf of gas, but it costs a dollar a gallon.
"We spent a week on Sourdough Bay, an inlet on the north shore of the Lake. There was a small camp there, consisting of three tents and a log cabin which served as kitchen and mass. The cook was a French-chef. We had the most delicious meals we had ever eaten. This was all the more remarkable because the difficulty of getting supplies it made the choice of material to work with an extremely limited one. We were so far north that the temperature was so low that as it is necessary to shoot for food, so we lived on mallards and partridge.
Visited Famous Mine
"While in the region we also took a trip to Flin Flon Lake, where the famous mine of that name is located, and nearby is, or was, the spectacular Mandy Mine. These both were great copper producers during the War, but are now shut down, the latter because it is worked out and the former because it can't pay at the present price of copper.
"When we arrived in the north country the sun was setting about 9 o'clock and rising about 3. The twilight lasted until 11, but I have no first hand knowledge of when the sun never gets dark. Late in August the Northern Lights began to be very beautiful."
Kellogg Heads Russian Aid
K. U. Man to Help Scientists There Get Books
Vernon Kellogg, A. B. 89, and M. S. 92, has been chosen general secretary of the American Committee to aid Russian scientists in securing scientific literature. Russian unification officials found it almost impossible to secure scientific documents of recent date, and so the American Committee has arranged with Herbert Hoover, chairman of the American Relief Administration, to receive in New York a letter to Russia the collected material.
The committee has no funds, but is dependent on the generosity of publishers, societies, and authors. Contributors are requested to send written materials and directions for mailing may be obtained at the Graduate office.
vernon Kellogg was director of the American Commission of Belgian Relief during the war. He was professor of ontology at Leland Stanford until he resigned in 1928 to become chairman and chairman of the Division of Educational Relations of the National Research Council in Washington.
Walter S. Blaker, A. B. "22," is engaged in an engineering project for company in South America. Blakes worked with South America for a number of months.
Modeling Classes Are Testing Kansas Clays
Samples of clay found near Pittsburg, Kansas, have been received by the department of fine arts. Miss Rosemary Ketchum, professor of design, in discussing the attempts of the modeling class to use Kansas clays, said that this effort was only one of a series of experiments to utilize Kansas productions in the fine arts classes.
Native leaf and plant forms are used in design and it is hoped that they will be a desirable feature and clashing possibilities of the clay and prove that it is fit for pottery.
K. U. Graduate Goes From Moneyed Job To A Professorship
Eastern Papers Contain Consider able Comment on
Change
The action of J. S. Worley, B. S.' 04, M. S. 04, in giving up his $25,000 annual income as consulting engineer with offices in New York, to accept an engineering professorship at the University of Michigan at a salary below than $3,000 a year, is causing considerable comment in eastern papers.
After being graduated from the School of Engineering here in 1904, Mr. Worley opened offices in Kansas City, remaining there until 1919, when he went to New York as consulting engineer. That he has done since then is by the report that his annual income is in the $25,000 neighborhood.
In commenting on Mr. Worley's action, Arthur Brisbane, noted editorial writer, says in the Chicago Herald-Examines: "Newspapers are much surprised and are almost ready to print the heading 'Engineer Suddenly Goes Crazy.' Fortunately there are still many men, like the great Agassiz", says Brisbane, "that can sincerely say, 'I am to busy to make money.' College men are taught for nitty-gritty small satiries by men that could make fortunes in more than a century of teaching Professors Worley will be able to say that he has added to the supply of human knowledge, and educated hundreds or thousands of young people to do useful work."
Commenting on Mr. Worley's work the New York Times says: "Mr.Worley is a member of the firm of Worley & Black, accountants. He will retain his interest in the firm. He has held positions in railroads as a construction and motive-power engineer. He served for eight years as a member of the engineering board of the Interstate Commerce Commission and for a year was its consulting valuation engineer. He has made many appraisals on railway properties and has figured in important raililization.
Mrs. Worley, formerly Mamie Baker, is also known at K. U., as she was graduated from the School of Fine Arts in 1902.
To Study Paving Problem
Council Will Accept Plans of Prof. McNown
A problem to determine the effect of various types of pavements on automobile tires will soon be taken up by the department of highway engineering, according to Prof. W. C McNown. The plan of Professor McNown has been submitted to the National Highway Research of the National Research Council, and assurance has been received here that it will be accepted soon.
According to the plan of the National Research Council, the University of Kansas will have to bear only one-half of the expense of the experiment and the department here will receive the credit for the work accomplished. The Bureau of Public Roads will bear one-half of the expense, and in addition will be able to furnish various necessary apparatus, such as trucks and automobiles from the present war stock.
Although methods of the experiment have not been worked out yet, the work will be done by the instructor and the student assisted by the advance student.
This is the first test of this kind that will have ever been worked out on a large scale, and will have a considerable effect on the types of paving that will be constructed in the future.
The Rev. Earl A. Blackman, better known as "The Fighting Paroon", is to be the principal speaker at Manhattan's American Legion Armistice Day. The day will be given over to the Argyle-Ames football game.
Harry Kemp Poet, K.U.Man. In "Tramping On Life" Relates Scoop Club's Startling Expose
Life at the University seems a little dull, after reading Harry Kemp's account of days at Laurel University (K. U.) in his new book, "Tramping on Life," in which, among other matters, he pictures Emma Goldman's visit, Upton Sinclair's stay with him, and the speech of Dr. Lyman Abbott, which he so spectacularly broke up. He gives a favorable picture of the University, mentioning many people who were here when he was, but not where they were now, not blame his instructors for flanking him because he did not attend classes. Even though he did the work.
The notorious expose of the slums of Lawrence, perpetuated by the Scoop Club, a group of journalism students, on the day when they were allowed to publish the Journal-World, takes up several pages. Although the student group of the Club revealed, was wholly unleavening and undesirable, Mr Kemp makes special note of the fact that few University students were involved in it.
By The Way
The inspiration for the revelation was furnished by a lecture Arthur Brishane delivered at the University on the part newspapers should play in bringing crime to punishment, and the leading spirit was a man who now has an important position in New York.

His trip to Australia is more fascinating than much of that sort of written litened and brings memories of "Two Years before the Mast." Throughout the book are clearly stories which will not soon escape one which will not soon escape one.
The book is called an autobiographical narrative. Just how much is autobiography and how much narrative only the initiated will know. Some of Harry Kemp's friends will think this book is too advanced for this book; others will think a great deal less. But it is safe to say that all of them will find it interesting.
