Paul Whiteman's Orchestra to Be Here in February
NO. 91
Noted Musician Plans Tour England; Band Has Own Complete Equipment
"The coming of Paul Whitman and his orchestra on Feb. 12, will mean one of the biggest treats of a musical nature to be enjoyed here this season," Dean Swarthout said this morning.
Whitman made his sensational debut in New York in 1924. Last year he made a transient-transportive tour visiting 300 cities, in some of which he many as six concertes. He not received in the concert figures very high.
Dean Swarthout said, "Whitman may well be termed a 'wizard'; he is not the so-called 'jazz king' a new musician, but an artist with a real musician as well as a master of symphony. He never acorns to forget that he has dedicated himself to the development of American music, which has his ability to divert and entertain."
This season the orchestra's tour will close at the end of March after 200 appearances have been made more frequent. The tour will be presented by Piers of British Isles in April at the highest price ever paid to a visiting band of musicians. The orchestra carries its entire equipment.
His program here will include important compositions written especially for his orchestra as well as the latest popular numbers.
Sour Owl Sells Rapidly
Interest Displayed Concerning Hill's Best Man
This morning between 750 and 1000 Sour Owls were sold before 9 o'clock, which sets an unprecedented record for that publication. Due to such a large number of selling forces were sold out of Owls and no more could be obtained until 10120.
"It is the intention of the circulation staff to sell them this afternoon," he said. "We are in an interview this morning, 'and those who by that time have not purchased their Owl may do so downstream or at Rowland Book store.'"
It is the expectation of the staff to reach a circulation goal of 2009 or more Cubs. Mr. Rebelis is sure that the team will succeed. Once the 2009 mark will be reached.
A great deal of interest has been shown by the students over the selection of the HIB's best issue and over the selection of the prominent of the prom girl in the next issue.
FOUR PA 3
This is the standard liquid air demonstration, according to Professor Cady. It shows the remarkable properties of liquid air due to the fact that it boils at a very low temperature—approximately 312 degrees below zero. Consequently all common substances will become either solids, if liquids herefore; or gases, if liquids herefore, in contact with the liquid air. Liquid air will freeze mercury, for example, and change a natural gas into a liquid.
Many Unusual Features Shown by Doctor Cady
Aluminum burning in liquid oxygen at a temperature of over six thousand degrees Fahrenheit is an unsuai sight. Prof. H, P. Cady, of the department of chemistry, demonstrated that, as well as other unusual things, in his lecture on "Liquid Air" given Tuesday afternoon.
Most of the experiments Professor Cady shows depend upon the fact that a liquid air mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gradually loses the nitrogen as it boils, leaving behind almost pure liquid oxygen. In this liquid oxygen wood, charcoal, iron, and even alumium will burn with great vigor.

Radio Works New Wonder
Radiotelegraphy Tells Movement From Starting Point
(Seience Service)
Washington, Jan. 13. - Did the American continent break off from the European continent millions of years ago and drift westward like a huge legerg? If so, this fact may be deterred by the new geologic Termier, French geologist, in an article in the annual report of the Smithsonian Institute.
It is thought, that if such a movement does exist, that it is an extremely slow one, and that a century may be needed to establish its exist-
"Radiotelography already permits, or soon will permit," he says, "the giving, at a certain moment, the exact hour, from a starting point, to the end of the observatories of the world. One will deduce from it, within a small number of meters, the longitude of any point whatsoever from where an observer would be familiar with the zero meridian. After some years, perhaps one will thus know whether America is getting further away. From Europe she now sees the sun, the theory of a continent floating."

Campus Pictures Can Be Obtained This Year Only
County Club Committee Decides That Views Make Too Much
Work
Contriary to the expectation of a number of county club officers, campus views will not be given high schools of Kansas by county clubs. Under a decision reached recently by members of the county club committee.
Announcement of this effect was made today by Fred Elsworth, alumni secretary and ex-officio member of the board of directors from several county club presidents that they intended to let the matter of the purchase of the picture wait.
Too Much Work Required
Members of the one committee, x-ray workers are connected with arranging for the sale and distribution of the campus views, to make an annual attempt to circulate them practical. A comparatively small part of the expense of the prize must be spent on other tasks and it has been thought best to return either to the Jayhawker plan or to another method of advertising K. U, when the club organizes next year. This decision will make the group more likely to take advantage of the campus view plan, to do so within the immediate future.
Too Much Work Required
Views Can Be Secured Now
Additional pictures and framing materials for the unfilled picture orders left after the Christmas rush, have been received, and the framing will be completed soon, according to Edward Kimball, chairman of the committee. All county club presidents whose picture orders were unfilled before the recent vacation, can get an additional fee for office after mid-senior. In special cases a few orders may be filled before the coming vacation.
Answers to questionnaires which were sent to club officers last week, indicate that wide distribution of the views has already taken place and a complete check is being made by the committee to see that every high school for which a picture was purchased, has received it in good condition.

Promona College in California has adopted a plan of grouping students similar to that in use in Oxford and Cambridge. This means the same method may make it possible for college students to have all the advantages of attendance at a large institution and at the same time all the important benefits of life in a small college.
The advisory board consisting of Pr.c.F. F, M. Raymond and Prof. C. M. Young was re-elected for the ensuing year.
At the meeting it was also decided to raise the price of single copies to 15% with the subscription price remaining at 90% a year. According to the same report, circulation at present is almost seven hundred and fifty copies each issue.
Following the dinner reports from the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held at Kansas City during the holidays, will be given by members of the various departments.

Unrest Prevails in Special Session Called by Pinchot
Pennsylvania Legislature Meets to Deal With Anthracite Coal Strike
Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 13. — The extraordinary session of the Pennsylvania legislature summoned by Governor Pinchot to bet on the withdrawal strike situation met here today in an atmosphere of uncertainty that bed most observers to predict a retreat to net on the governor's recommendations.
Pinchot called the session Dec. 13, naming in his proclamation eight subjects of state and national importance, the most striking of which was the proposal that the legislature declare a national public utility, subject to regulation.
The current hostility in the legislature to the governor's project has been characterized by his opponents, his opponents that he called the special session to advance his political ambitions, particularly his rumored intention to become a candidate for governor.
Republican Leaders Split
A division among Republican leaders in the State further complicated the situation. Almost every party leader is opposed politically to the governor, but differences among them are common. Most leaders to get together in united opposition. That was the situation in the 1925 regular session when division among the legislative leaders enabled the governor to gain considerable prestige.
Some have argued that the industry is committing suicide by continual suspensions and unrest, and a declaration by the Pennsylvania legislature that it is a public utility is seen by these officials of prevention of any for other items.
People Demand Coal
Governor Pinchot, in calling the extra session, gained favor in some quarters by the "big stick" attitude of the governor to the anarchic situation.
The one subject, listed in the Governor's call for the special meeting that appears in advance to meet the approval of the majority is settlement of the controversy between Pennsylvania and New Jersey over the dispute between the Delaware and Pennsylvania bridges between Philadelphia and Cumberland, N. J.
Outside of Pennsylvania, sympathy with the governor is said to be much stronger than within the state. People in other states want the guarantee of an uninterrupted supply of hard coal, and hope for this is seen in many quarters by the Governor's summoning of the special session.
Because of the tremorous coal holdings in Pennsylvania and the political influence yielded clay both operators and the miners' union, anti-trust legislation proposed by the government encounters the strongest opposition.
Industry Called Utility
Declaration of the antitrust industry, by the legislature, as a public utility, was asked by the governor in his proclamation. This proposal has met with widespread criticism, the contention of many being that there is no strong capacity expenience of handling such a subject as the hard coal industry.
The special session which Governor Punchot has called will be the second under the present constitution of 1874, and he was then appointed to the Senate, 1906, summoned by the late Governor Samuel W. Pennypyncker, as the result of a political upheaval which started in 1923.

Registration Fees Are Being Accepted Now to Avoid Rush Later
Early Payment Will Add Extra Day to Vacation Between Semesters
Nearly three hundred and fifty students have paid their registration fees for the second semester, but the fees are not coming in fast enough, according to a report from the business school at Northwestern. The tuition pay now is both a convenience to the students who will be out of Lawrence during the few days between semesters, allowing one more day vacation, and it will help avoid any last-minute problems. Also the fees can be paid without a five dollar penalty being assessed.
It is thought at the business office that the enrollment for the second semester will be about the same as that of the first. Many new students will attend this course and will about counterbalance the number of old students who will be leaving. Enrollment in the college for the second semester will be on Jan. 29 and 27.

Higher Apes Being Killed
---
Limited Supply of Chimpanzees Hinders Science
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 13—Find out what a chimpanzee thinks about is proving a show and difficult task for psychologists, not because the chimpanzee doesn't play, but because it is also available for scientific observation.
"If stories of killing that come to us from the native homes of higher apes may be believed, there is a real danger that the source of supply of apes used in psychological investigations may be entirely wired out before many years have passed," in the state Department of Education, the Institute of Psychology at Yale University, where two chimpanzees are being studied.
"A colony of fifteen anthropoid apes, such as we studied in Havana last year, is one of the rarest in modern life." —Anthoniosaurus, "Most of us are fortunate if we have one or two such animals for laboratory study. And for a single scientist to observe all types of the higher apes through all stages of development, is, in the present state of life, a vital resource, utterly impossible."
Dean Birgham, who recently addressed the American Psychological Association, has urged that psychologically carefully standardize their methods of studying ape and make their research more reliable because of this shortage of subjects.
"The investigator in ape psychology is working with extraordinary animals and with something new in behavior turning up every few minutes, an enhancement, with rainier than knowledge about his subject," he points out.
Study of the higher apes which are more like man than any other animal was conducted by Dr. Christopher Bingham states that tests devoid in the study of the anthropopep apes were made. The aim of the study is to understand the mentality of primitive races.
Iowa university is trying out a system whereby exceptional students will be graduated in less than four years without cirrowing extra work. Special classes are provided for those who possess unusual ability.
Miners Threatened by Gas Explosion in Oklahoma Field
Over a Hundred Entombed; Rescue Workers Talk to Survivors of Blast
McAllister, Olba, Jan. 13. The lives of 101 men of the Digman-McConnell coal mine number 21, at Wilbilton, were believed to be seriously threatened today as the result of a shortly aborted 7:30 clock which shortly after 7:30 clock this morning. Reports here were that little hope is held out for the trapped miners. The cause of the explosion is unknown. The mine is situated about 50 miles south of the county seat of Latimer county and a town of 2226 population. Wilburton is 40 miles due east of McAllister. So strong was the blast that timbers were blown from the bottom of his shaft to the surface. Receives some damage when he arrives on m. in this morning. The shaft is 60 feet deep.
Wiltonton, Okla., Jan. 13—Rescue workers, who were down 600 feet in the shaft of the Dregnan-McConnell Company's nine mine number 21, where they worked last week, trapped, reported that they talked with several of the entombed men who expressed the belief that but one of them had survived the thast occurring this morning.
Two attempts to enter the mines through air holes were unsuccessful. Members of the rescue squad were unable to penetrate into the furthermost parts of the mine on account of cras.
Mine officials said that between 100 and 103 miners had entered the mine this morning. The explosion was believed to have been caused by the ignition of a gas pocket in one of the underground tunnels of the mine. The entrapped men are both white and they believe the larger percentage "being white."
Labor troubles in this area have continued since September, 1925, when the union miners walked out for a readjustment of the wage scale. The union miners are still out, although many of the miners and their families are reported to be in poverty.
Oklahoma City, Jan. 13 - Blame for the explosion in the Dregnan-McCann mine near Wilburton today, where three people were, men was placed at the door of incapable mine inspection by Ed Boyle, chief of the state mine inspection
Boyle, who believed all the trapped miners had met death in the blast, declared that a federal injunction which prevents union miners from entering the mine is hindering rescue work.
Fear of arrest if they trespass on the mine company's ground is keeping them from aiding the rescuers. The miners are employed at the mine.
