Degree
HOOVER GRANTED PH.D.
Graduate Student Passes Final Examination for High Degree
The only degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education ever granted by the University of Kansas was given John H. Hoover, yesterday evening, when he successfully passed the final examination before an examining board consisting of E. E. Carter, W. S Hunter, C. H. Ashton, and B. M. Allen. This examination was presided over by Dean F. W. Blackmar.
"Mr. Hoover passed a very creditable examination," said Dean Black-mar today, "and while he does not receive his degree until the faculty and Board of Administration pass on the resume," he explained. "this is still mere formality, and in reality he is made sure of his degree."
Herb Hoover Gets His Picture 'Took'
New York, May 22—A combination of super efficiency and a good "publicity stunt" was bulleted yesterday as the director of Publicity attached to the Hoover Presidential Campaign headquarters, who ordinarily is "putting the soft pedal" on anything more direct connected with the Hoover boom.
The ex-United States Food Administrator, according to an announcement sent out from his headquarters last night, gave simultaneous interviews to not only noted illustrators. Publicity surveyors for other Presidential booms showed unusual interest and admitted that Mr. Hoover had done something that probably no other official nomination ever had attempted.
At the headquarters of Mr. Hoover in the Grand Central Palace it was intimated earlier in the day that a noted sculptor and three noted filssus art historian brief Period Mr. Hoover had consented to remain stationary. It was also suggested that the novel scene might be filmed. There was nothing in the late afternoon as the sculptor and the camera man had been on the job while Mr.
Hoover sat for his portrait.
“Herbert Hoover,” the bulletin read, “has consented to tear himself away from his work as head of the museum and long enough to sit for his portrait to three famous artists. in the studio of Miss Neyna McMein, at 87 West Fifty-seventh Street, this morning he visited his father, James McMein, Charles Dana Gibson and James Montgomery Flagg. It took energetic persuasion to get him to do it. Mr. Hoover protested that he had his picture taken’ only four years
Efforts to communicate with Miss McMein and Messrs. Gibson and Flagg last night were unavailing.

Vast Wealth Lost in Smoke?
Introducing the smokeless age! S. M. Darling, fuel engineer of the United States bureau of mines, described it at the International Railway Fuel Association's convention in Chicago recently.
Declaring that although the coal resources of the country approximated 3,553,697,100,000 tons of minable fuels —enough to last some 2000 years,allowing for Mr. Darling to press for Mr. Darling urged that a movement toward conservation be started. He advised the development of lignite deposits, the utilization of all the by-products from bituminous coal, and bemoaned the wasteful methanol production, but however, he said, was rapidly giving place to modern by-product ovens.
He pointed out that from one ton of lignite 10,000 cubic feet of gas, usable as fuel, fifteen gallons of oil and tar, or 25,000 pounds of coal and 955 pounds of excellent fuel could be obtained. He also pointed out that there was great by-product value in bituminous coal adding that the prac- tice of lignite production "caw" should be abandoned.
The use of the fuel residue of lignites and bituminous coal, he said, would eliminate smoke, conserve productive power, and go far toward stretching the fuel resources of the country. He pointed out that the heat values of the fuel residue retained by bituminous coal are lower out of either lignite of bituminous coal are practically the same as before the refining process.
Mr Darling intimated that with the development of by-product recovery and the elimination of the use of "raw" fuel, the smoke ill in Chicago and other large industrial centers would end.
