TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1926 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE THREE Oratorio Will Be Given March 23 at Independence Story of "Guardian Angel" Is Based on Moravian Legend of North Carolina The "Guardian Angel," an oratorio written by Prof. C. S. Shillow, will be given its premier performance at the convention of the Kansas Federation of Music Clubs which will be held at Independence March 23, 2015 and 25. Through the action of the Federation the publication of this important addition to the list of compositions in the larger form1 by American composers was made possible. Kansas is the only state in the union where a successful completion a task of such magnitude.2 Large Chorus Included The large bowers will be for mixed chorus, children's chorus, two solo sopranos, alto, tenor and bass solos with orchestral accompaniment. The chorus will contain 150 voices, the children's chorus 500 voices, and the orchestral accompaniment will be the City Little Symphony orchestra. the story is based on an old Moravian legend with which Professor Skilton was familiar during his residence in North Carolina. He and his student Matson-Salem Academy. It tells of a little child who wanders away from her playmates who are gathering flowers on the edge of the wood. She becomes curious and finds that a storm is approaching. She sinks down frightened by a lovely flower to rest. Soon she thinks that she hears the voices of her friends crying for help as the storm moves then she feels a soot hand pressed against her mouth. she finally falls asleep and is found later by her parents and friends who have missed her. When she tells them the story of the voices and the hand pressed against her mouth, her heart breaks out and she called her but that the sound she heard was a painter prowling near and that indubitably it was the Angel of God who had prevented her reply and certainly has meant instant death. Rust Creeps Westward Alfred G. Iibach of Independence is to be the conductor of the production and Professor Skilton is to be the guest of honor at the convention. Blister Disease Wreaks Havoc With White Pines This parasitic menace of the white pines is eradicated by uprooting current and gooseberry bushes in the neighborhood. A species of pine which originates on the pine trees but it cannot spread from pine tree to pine tree. It has to go from pine tree to the leaves of the botanical garden where the tree has been removed from around the trees, as far away as a mile. The blister rust control agents are clearing about a million acres of black forest regions of the Northeast. The rust first reached the West at Vancouver, B. C., in a shipment of pine seedlings from France. If it reaches the western sugar pines, it will destroy the most valuable timber that the federal government has. However, effective control work can be done before the trees are seriously attacked. Washington, March 9.—Blister rust, n disease which has wrought a great deal of harm with the white pines of the East, has worked itself within 200 miles of the great sugar pines of Oregon and California. Bed Rest Is Prescribed as Panacea for Obesity Paris, March 9.—Bed rest instead of physical exercise, and deep exhaling from the lungs, in addition to the usual non-fattening diet, are prescribed as a cure for obesity by Dr. Lilly Moynihan, secretary of the Therapeutic Society. Doctor Leven teaches his patients to breathe out so hard that they bend the flame of a candle and to inhale only very slightly. The breathing can be done lying in bed, sitting up or standing erect. Series of five evaluations are repeated every half hour many times a day. One patient lost 50 pounds in 20 days and another 60 pounds in the course of eight months. When a person overcats, Doctor Leven believes, the solar plexus is irritated and this disturbs the functioning of those cerebral centers that regulate the destruction of fat. Other conditions may also cause this disturbance. The course of treatment is claimed to counteract the effect. Plan to Encircle Cities With National Forests Washington, March 9—Ten million acres of national forests in 10 years. In the southeastern rural regions of the United States, is the ambitious program which received the endowment of the second national forest on outdoor recreation, in session here. (Science Service) The program calls for the acquisition of two and one-half million acres in the Great Lakes region, from three states — Minnesota, Iowa and the White Mountains and the Appalachians, and two and one-half million acres of the remaining pine forests in the South. It is expected that this effort will not only provide breathing places for the dense population of the great commercial and industrial centers but will more than pay for themselves by providing science of forest management. Registrar Sends Out Letters to Seniors in State High Schools University Information Bulletin Is Also Being Mailed to Students Letters are being mailed from the registrar's office to more than fourteen thousand high school graduates in the state of Kannas. These letters ask students at the university to continue their studies at the University of Kannas. Two personal examination questions are contained in the letter. They are: "Are you enough of a self-controlled and well-reared young person to carry through every day, week after week, a daily personal reflection," "Have you learned?" "Have you learned to manage your spending money with wisdom and self-control?" Under these two main questions there are several minor questions. They are as follows: "Can you save pocket money for a future purchase?" "Can you go down town with moccasins?" "Can you borrow money for candy and such?" "Must you always see a much advertised movie, even if you have to borrow the movie to do so?" "Are you learning the danger of charging things with an obligatory fee?" "Do you ever spend your money in ways considered from your parents?" The letter goes on to say that if you make a good grade with your conscience on the above questions, it may mean more for your success in college and after college than paper "units" and encryted "certificates." The bulletin of information of the University is being mailed out to the students along with this letter. Diabetes May Be Curable Professor of Physiology Makes Important Discovery (Science Service) Vermilion, S. D., March 9 — A cure for diabetes insipidus, a disease which is characterized by the excessive elimination of glucose soon be won by medical science. The first step toward this end has been made by Dr. Helen Bouquaini professor of physiology at the University of South Dakota, who has duplicated in animals all symptoms of bifidus and are exhibited by afflicted humans. Application of electric cautery to the pituitary—a small gland in the head was the procedure which resulted in experimental diabetes impinges in it. The discovery appears to have revealed the mechanism which regulates the amount of water in the body. "The operation leads to actual drying up of the animal, if the water intake is retained." Doctor Burguin stated. The Home Economics Club will meet Wednesday at 4:30 in Fraser hall. There will be initiation of new members—Hazel Lee Simmons, president. "The disease appears to be due to the discharge into the blood of some thing which stimulates the kidney powerfully." Prof. D. M. Mann and Prof. F. W. Blackmar will not meet their classes on Wednesday, and Prof. S. A. Queen will not meet his classes on either Wednesday or Thursday, but will meet them on Friday. ANNOUNCEMENTS There will be a short business meeting of Alpha Delta Sigma tonight at 7:30 in the Journalism building. The Zoology Club will meet Wednesday evening, at 7:30 in Snow hall. A talk on birds will be the feature of the meeting. Sigma Tau fraternity will hold a smoker at the Kappa Alpha Lambda house at 8 p. m. Wednesday night...Leon Holman, president. Nature Tints With Acids London, March 20—It makes no difference whether a flower is in flower or blue since its color is due to the same fundamental substance, according to Dudley (1967). A physiological chemist, who spoke recently on investigation in this branch of plant physiology before the Royal Society, notes that the nature of flowers depends on the chemical nature of the plant sap, being red in an acid sap and blue in one that is alkaline. Intermediate molecules on the degree of acidity or alkalinity. Chemicals in Plants Determine Color of Flowers (Science Service) Color of Flowers The name of this versatile plant segment, stated Professor Robinson, is anthocyanin, which is derived from two simple Greek words meaning flower and blue. There are really many anthocyanins present in the blood shown to be derived from three closely related fundamental substances. A fourth member of this group of music flower dyes has long been exploited by tropical Indians as material for rouge, which is used by the men, women and children in native carajura or chica, and is such a valuable commodity among them that it is said of a poor Indian that "he can paint only half his face." A carajurin has been isolated by Prof. A, G. Perman, and is called carajurin. When treated with acid, carajurin behaves in a manner characteristic of the anthocyanins. It is unique, both as its component as an object of scientific research. Time Flies No Longer As Insects Clog Works (United Press) March 9—Time flies! (United Press) London, March 9.—Time flies! About fifty years ago the clock of St. Stephen's Church, Tondbridge, was cleaned up, oilled and made ready to run another century later. The overbuilding would be necessary. But the other day the old clock came to an unexpected stop. In this duce workmen clambered into the tower and investigated. They found that the works of the clock had been clogged by thousands of dead "Time flies," said the workmen, and Tonbridge today is still chuckling over the joke. National Guard Inspected K. U.

Hoax Letter Startles Young Fortune Hunters A mysterious letter left at the Kannas news room Monday morning has evidently been proved to be a periodical device for playing upon the desire of human nature for the improbable. According to the letter, a certain man, signing the name of Pedro Rui, had been imprisoned for bankruptcy and was sentenced to prison. The court ordered him to help him obtain $300,000 which he has secretly deposited in this country. A third part of the fortune is promised as a reward. He must pay it; the judge must be able or not by letter. Upon inquiry from a few of the officials of the University, it was learned that such iniducts arise occasionally and that they are more frequent in the College. George O. Foster, registrar, said that this was the first attempt of this nature that has been tried for quite a long time. Mr. Marekster, librarian, told that the same hox was fired forty years ago. City Star about forty years ago. "Damned Souls" Organize Rochester Atheists Form Club for Abolition of God "To prove the necessity of atheism and to abolish belief in God and all things, we must profess the Drained Souls society, a new organization formed by students in the University of Rochester. The new society is open to all students who profess atheism and are willing to pledge to secure compromise with clericalism. It nits to conviven those who are undesired on their religious beliefs of atheism, so they can get good and all forms of religion based on the powers attributed to this god. The American Association for the Advancement of Atheism has offered its aid to the club. Freemann Hoppeo, general secretary of the national association offers to recognize the Damned Souls as a branch of the A. "Students who have formed the athlete's club will not be presented or expelled, although the university in no way gives them encouragement," said Dr. Charles Hoeing, dean of men at Rochester. Stevens to Discuss Planting Prof. W. C. Stevens, head of the botany department, was "the guest and principal speaker of the Art Club in Topeka, Monday. He talked on "Planting the Hortground," up in particular for a houseplant small and large communities. This was the first of such talks to be given to a club group by Professor Stevens this year.
