Tomorrow is your last opportunity to get a K. U.
Friendship Candle.
THE SOUL IN A CHRISTMAS CANDLE
Perhaps you think you are being asked to buy tallow-dip, cord, and a K. U. ribbon. Nothing is farther from the truth! You are giving your fellow students across the Atlantic a chance for life, a chance to escape survival and death.
"But," you ask, "how do I know they are starving? How do I know that my voluntary contribution will be well spent?"
You know because you trust the wisdom, ability,
and honesty of these men:
Herburt Hoover: "...there is no greater ser-
vice."
Frank Vanderlip: ".. nothing will create firmer international bonds."

Dr. John Finley, associate editor, N. Y. Times:
"...I give it my earnest support."
Prof. Thomas W. Graham, Oberlin College; "...The fate of Europe is in the hands of the student classes."
Dr. John Grier Hibben, President of Princeton University: "The hope of the future Europe lies in the education of the coming generation, and it is certainly a privilege if in America we can help at least to feed and clothe the young men and women of these devastated lands so that they may pursue their studies without the gnawing anxiety in their hearts as to where or how they can obtain sufficient food to keep them barely alive."
"Yes," you reply, "those men are trustworthy, but just how will the money be spent?"
Here is the answer:
Feding ... 50%
Clothing ... 17%
Housing ... 3%
Books ... 7%
Self-help Enterprises ... 3%
Refuge Students ... 29%
Emergency Fund ... 17%
"Well," you inquire, "by whom is the work di-
"Well," you inquire, "by whom is the work directed?"
Here is the answer: By an International Relief Committee under the direction of the World's Student Christian Federation. Funds and supplies are cleared through the central office at Geneva.
Tomorrow is our last opportunity. The soul of intelligent Europe is crying to us as it has never cried before. The need is dire. The cause is in our hands.
Please do not turn your eyes from this paragraph headless of its meaning. As you value the civilization which gives you your opportunities, as you value the worth of higher education, as you value your hopes for a regenerated Europe, express yourself tomorrow in the purchase of a Friendship Candle.
Do not let tomorrow pass without your voluntary contribution!
The Soul of European Students will glow with gratitude for the friendly Jawahary University. And in turn our Friendship Candles will glow with the warmth that is not born of a tallow-dip, cord, and a ribbon.
F. HAT WILL CONSTITUTE SUCCESS AT THE DISARMMENT CONFERENCE
For many days now there has sat in conference in a great hall in the Capital City of these United States a marvelous array of the world's diplomats. Their meeting is a thing unprecedented. They are the delegates to the world's first disarmament conference
The meeting of these representatives of the powerful nations of the world was heralded far and wine as a wonderful evolution; as a great step in advance for civilization in general, and for international diplomacy in particular. For weeks the interest of the world has been centered upon this small group of men, as all nations lung breaththely upon the reports of their every action, anticipating, hoping, predicting. The world is in a fever of expectation, but—what does it expect? And granted that it expects much, and hopes for more—with what would it be satisfied?
When one considers the possibilities of achievement at such a meeting, one becomes at once dazled by tier after tier of what are only too likely to prove air castles. Let us seek, then, the minimum that will constitute success to the conference.
In the minds of many of the great students of international affairs, the conference has already assured its success. What, then, has it done? It has met peacefully, and discussed dispassionately matters of strictent importance to the policy and traditions of the various nations, and what is of the utmost importance, at least two of the great nations met in the conference have, through their representatives, made material concessions toward the will of the majority around the parley table. Here is a great accomplishment in itself. Also the attention of the people has been called to a number of problems and situations of which they are well nigh criminally ignorant before the great meeting. The confidence of the people in international diplomacy, secret or open, so shattered by the outbreak of the recent World War, has been in some measure restored.
At present there hangs in the balance the fate of the great Hughes plan of a ten year Naval holiday. The apparently just ratio of 5-5-3 has been arrived at as an equitable strength for the movies of the three great powers of the sea, the United States, Great Britain, and Japan. This has been objected to by the present Japanese emmiestries to data, but there is every indication that before the conclusion of the meeting, Japan will concede the point, and 5-5-3, with definite replacement schedules, will become the bounds of naval armament for the next decade.
There remains the Farc East question, the adjustment of the relations between China and Japan, and the rest of the world. There are many things in connection with the Chinese situation which are anything but creditable to each of the great nations, but Japan's situation is without question the worst. Japan, on the other hand, has her justification, no doubt very sufficient in her eyes. Japan must have food supplies and raw materials from some outside source. China is logically that outside source. And for years China ant itily by, refusing or failing to develop these resources, holding Japan at a stand-still while the rest of the world advance. Japan, taking matters in her own hands, played the pirate and as a result she has developed and now holds a large part of China's natural wealth. China, in her plea before the conference, says she has reached a stage in development where she is capable of taking up the management of these industries, and can supply Japan to the mutual benefit of the two nations. But can she? This is a question that the delegates of the conference must decide.
If the conference goes no farther than it has; if the diplomates of the great nations come together in calm and open-minded discussion of world problems, open to the minds of the people the possibilities of international disarmament, even though it be by very slow degrees, and then part in peace, without having precipitated a war and after having established a precedent of international arbitration, then the conference will have been a success.
Plain Tales from the Hill

A Use For Firearms
Up in the southeast corner of the gallery stood this former soldier with his lady friend. They were late; there were no seats left, and something must be done with their clothes — they couldn't stand there all night.
This sounds as if a war-hardened soldier were preparing to snipe off one of the enemy.
But hold! what was this? A rock full of Springfield riffles used by the R. G. T. C., that muzzles point-of-entry.
The ex-solder perused around him. There appeared to be no place to hang up the offending articles of apology.
The inventiveness born of two and one half years of hard service came to the aid of the vet. He merely slipped back the bolt of one the rifles and on that hung his coat. Above the bolt was an adjustable reep sight. This the vet put on, publicity found it on a neighboring bolt that he found a book on a neighboring bolt for his lady friend's coat.
But it is nothing of the sort. It is only the method used by an ex-collector in hanging his公心 and hat under the roof.
"There," exclaimed the soldier proudly. "I
measured I wasn't in the army for nothing."

In this quarter-century of steam turbine development inventive genius has been paralleled throughout by practical level-headedness. There are few cases in engineering history where the record is written as clearly and impressively as this. There can be nothing but credit for the engineer who puts his errors underfoot and rises upon them, and most of the world's greatest achievements have been so reached. The World also honors progress that
DURING the last twenty-five years power generation practice has been revolutionized. The steam turbine has definitely displaced the reciprocating engine as the standard prime mover in large generating equipments. And Francis Hodkinson has had more to do with this achievement than any other one individual.
Mr. Hodkinson came to this country along with the Westinghouse Licenses under the Parsons patents, in 1896, upon the recommendation of the inventor himself. Since that time practically every commercial steam turbine Westinghouse has built has been designed and built by him and his able associates.
Many inventions of tremendous value in steam turbine practice have been devised and perfected by him and his co-workers. Among the more important of these are the construction, in 1907, of the first low-pressure turbine to be built in America, and in 1911, of the first Bleeder type of turbine; the perfection, in company with H. E. Longwell, of the water-seal gland; a balancing machine for turbine rotors that is almost superhumanly sensitive; a trouble-proof method of supporting turbine cylinders; and a very superior process for affixing turbine blades to rotor and cylinder.
is surefooted and far-visioned, such as the development of steam turbines under Mr. Hodgkinson's direction.
One of the fundamental Westinghouse policies is insistence upon the uttermost in engineering. The observance of this policy in form and in spirit has provided genuine opportunities for many men of remarkable engineering gifts, one of the most notable of whom is the man whose name appears as the title of this article, Francis Hodgkinson.
