Russian Musicians to Visit Lawrence on American Tour
Basile Kablichich, Leader o Symphonic Choir, Began Career When 12 Years Old
The forthcoming tour of the Russian Symphonies, Chair, which will appear here Nov. 23 in Robinson gymnasium will extend from New England to Texas and will include many State symphonies. At our institutions of the East and West.
Basilki Balechik, a master musician and director of this talent showcase of singers was born in Teheran goff. Southern Russia. He showed musical talent at an early age; his talent taking an immediate turn for the conductor's button. When he was 12 years old, he played in the orchestra in the city of his birth, and a special stand had to built for the building conductor.
In 1986 he was at the head of the most famous of Russia's choral organizations, the Archangelsky Choir of Petrograd. From 1910-1912 Mr Kibachich toured Russian as conductor of the Petrograd Conservatory of Music. In 1912 he obscene choir conductor of the Russian Cathedral of St. Petersburg and most wards choir conductor of the Russian Cathedral in Paris.
Mr. Kahlschlech has discerned the antiquated methods and musical traditions of choral singing as exemplified by the old Ralfan and German school. He has taken the symphony orchestra as his model and has given each voice of his choir the same voice instrument in the modern orchestra.
The Boston Transcript has given pictureless idea of Mr. Kibachich "He might be the professor in the conductor's stand, for gentleness it bears and docility in his ways. Nothing of the earliness disorder which accompanies a conductor may hurt him." They stand immobile, almost expressionless before their leader, with a grace that springs from dignity. Mr. Kibachich is careful of phrase. The faintest motion or response of his hand brings response. He may summon or quiet with identical energy and can compound it in an operatic conductor may attain only by a sweeping gesture o' a yard."
Alumni to Present Gift
Class of '24 Will Select Token for K. U. Friday

Anti-Aircraft Defense Statistics Ease Minds of Perturbed Citizens
Lieut. Harry F. Meyers Quotes Record of Paris Artillery During War
"The record of the anti-aircraft defense of Paris during the war should do much to case the minds of a number of people in this country who have begun to attach exaggerated importance to the threat of an invasion by the enemy," Mr. Carr, and not Harry F. Meyers of the K. E. O. T. C. unit Monday.
In 1918, a total of 483 German planes were dispatched to raid Paris, of which only 37 penetrated the anti-aerial defence of Paris, and, of these 32 were brought down by anti-aircraft guns supplied by the war department.
In the raid of Sept. 15, 1918, 50
planes attempted to reach Paris. Of these, 47 planes were turned back by anti-aircraft artillery fire and of the three planes that penetrated the inner line of defense, two were brought down by the artillery.
This raid, according to war department records, was preceded by five nl which no German planes penetrated the anti-aircraft defense and it marked the end of the air raids on the French canton.
"The anti-aircraft defense of Paris consisted almost entirely of guns, searchlights and anti-aircraft listening devices," said Leiunt. Meyers.
"It is true," he continued, "that a great many shots are fired for every enemy plane brought to earth, but one cannot honestly estimate the work of anti-aircraft arms merely by the number of enemy planes brought down. Antiaircraft planes can fly very high change its route, it will interfere seriously with reconnaissance work and force the plane to carry on bombardment from altitudes that make accuracy in bomping exceedingly difficult."

Astronomers Hope to Measure Heat of Solar Corona
Harvard University Group Sails for Sumatra to Witness Sun's
Eclipse
The measurement of the heat of theolar corona, which will be made byfarward University astronomersduring the total eclipse of the sun Jan. 4 in Saturdays and Bernes, may solve problem of what caused thegreat eruption.
--n decorating.
The Harvard party is now enroute to Sumatra on the President Harrison, which sailed from San Francisco on Nov. 7. Dr. Harlan True Stetson, assistant professor of astronomy, is in charge of the expedition. Dr. W. B. Colbert, physicist at the U.S.贸. of standard astronomy. Dr. David A. Roberts, director of the Amazon expedition under Dr. Hamilton Rice; and Mr. William A. Spurr, Master 25, a student in astronomy, make up the party.
Previous Observations Made
Similar measurements of heat of the corona were made by Doctors Stetson and Coblenz from Middletown, Conn., during the eclipse last January. The measurements showed that nearly 30 per cent of the corona radiation is heat and that the coronal temperature is about 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This is much cooler than the sun itself, so it is thought that the corona radiates a lot of sunlight directly, causing the corona, which absorbs some of the energy, and then sends it out again in long heat waves.
To collect the coronar rays the expedition will use instruments that are more delicate and are 10 times as powerful as those used in Connecticut. The largest instrument will be a 20 inclined reflecting telescope.
Time-Saving Devices Used
Time-Saving Devices Used
Other improvements will make it possible to save much of the valuable time consumed while the eclipse is total, and a great amount of energy will be twice as long as before. The expedition should be able to obtain some very accurate and interesting data.
Two expeditions have already gone to Sumatra for the eclipse. These are from the U. S. Naval Observatory at Washington and Sproul observatory, both based in San Diego. The Naval Observatory expedition is in charge of Capt. F. B. Littell and includes Dr. J. M., Anderson of the Mt. Wilson observatory of Pasadena, Calif. Prof. J. A. Miller is in charge of the expedition and will assist him to assist Dr. Heber D. Curtis of the Allegheny observatory at Pittsburgh, Pa. The Swarthmore and Harvard parties will be located at Benekecon, on the west coast of Sumatra, while the Naval observatories will be island at Tebingtinger.

Says McGuire
"The Grid-Grad number of the Sour Owl which comes out Friday, Nov. 20, went to the printers this morning and should be off the press Thursday afternoon," said George McGuire, editor of the Owl, this morning.

The covers are ull off the press."
The winners of the five dollar prizes offered by the Sour Owl Board to the best contributors of art and library copy will be announced in this month's Newsletter. Friday. There have been more contributors this year for the Owl than in the years past but no single contributor has turned in any great amount of copy, hence thecompetitor's prizes is keen, according to McGuire.
