New X-Ray Outfit Aids in Analyzing Solid's Structure
K. U. Physics Department Receives One of Few Instruments in Existence
The physics department of the University has recently purchased a complete crystallographic x-ray ray from the General Electric Company. "This apparatus provides a good method for qualitative chemical analysis of solids, for accurate determinations of the composition and elementing ordinary metallographic methods," said Prof. C, V. Kent of the department of physics.
In operation a narrow beam of X-rays is allowed to traverse a small pinch of the material to be examined which is in the form of a fine powder. The rows and columns of atoms in the material are separated by X-rays in a pattern which is photographed, much as the parallel rulings of a diffraction grating spread a beam of light into successive colored spectra. The positions of the lines differ in the X-ray diffraction photographs and give an exact knowledge of the nature of the rows and columns of atoms in the crystal which produced them.
Each crystalline material has its own peculiar spacing and can be distinguished in these photographs from any other. The distances to be measured are not more than one hundred millionth of an inch, but the X-ray affords a unit of measurement which is not dependent upon them with the same relative accuracy that is reached by the mechanic with a micrometer gauge.
Since the discovery of the X-ray method 10 or 15 years ago more information has been obtained as to the structure in than in all the preceding years.
"The particular apparatus made by the General Electric Company has been brought to a commercial form although it is purely a scientific instrument; all that has to be done with it is called the echine does the rest," said Prof. Kent.
A
The photographing requires seven, hours on and this account it is so arranged that a dozen or so pictures can be taken at once. Because of the large number of these instruments in use in universities or technical work. It is only through the generosity and cooperation of the General Electric Company that Kansas has been given access to one of the valuable tools for crystalline analysis.
Still Seek Cause of Fat
Glands Probably Affect Weight Says Physiologist
(Release Service)
Chicago, Nov. 2.—Why some people are fat and some are thin is about as much a secret as before in the opinion of Prof. A. J. Carlson, physiologist of the University of Chicago, in a talk before the members of the American Dietetic Association. Some people are born fat, while in others they are an insignificant factor as it affects the chemical processes in the body.
In middle age people grow fat, Professor Carlson thinks, because there is less physical strain and activity, causing them to become more accustomed to a regular routine. The exertion of youth gives way to calm moderation. With age also comes a decrease in the power of some of the glands to release their hormones in the blood stream. This has been many experiments conducted on the removal of glands from the body but nothing can be determined by these experiments as yet.
Frost Changes Color of Vines on Buildings
The vines on snow hall are gradually turning red. All summer they cover the building with a green foliage that makes Snow hall one of the coolest places in the world. So thick has the ivy grown in places that the window apertures are half covered. But when the first touch of frost comes and tinta a leaf here, half a leaf there, then the edge is curled. There is nothing more colorful.
To go with the red of the climbing ivy, there is the red-berried shrubberry at the sides. Even the leaves of these bushes are red.
Dyche museum also has some vines that run riot over the rough brown stone. There is nothing that adds to the dignity and the feeling of honorable old age to a building, perhaps, an adobe house or a farm, withstood the weather of many years, and leaves that soften and beautify the harsh outline of the structure.

University Hospital Treats 112 Patients in Month of October
Number Is Record; Students
The hospital had a larger number of patients in October than in any previous month of its existence. The number reached 11 for the month of October, 55 of which were women and 77 men. The total for all of last year was 608, which was considered a large number.

Edmiston Says
This large percentage does not mean necessarily that students are less healthy this year than last, according to Dr. R. H. Edmunds, education specialist. They are beginning to have more confidence in the doctors and nurses.
The total number of individuals who called at the dispensary during the month was 1,652, although the total number of calls reached 5,491, averaging between three and four calls a student. Antitoxins for typhoid, diphtheria, smallpox and tetanus were administered.
There has been only one report of a contagious disease, a diphtheria case. Many students, fearing the disease, have taken the antitoxin. Of the surgical cases, five were operated on in the last month, and seven were tonsillectomies.
Typhoid serum this year has cost the University $300 so far, and will probably exceed this amount. The bill for dipfibrillar antibody last year
A great deal more room is needed for hospital purposes, according to Doctor Edinion. In case of an epidemic of contagious diseases, the hospital would be greatly handicapped by its lack of room.
At the end of a year a pair of rats and their descendants, if the progeny was unchecked, would number 1130; in four years they would number 1250; in five years they would number 1390 rats would spoil and consume more than 230,000 leaves of bread.

Prof. Johnson Has Tea for English Department
Note how it relieve that stuffy feeling after hearty eating.
Prof. W. S. Johnson, chairman of the department of English, entertained the members of the faculty and the fellows in the department with an informal tea Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m. The guests were shown a naming of the west coast of Ireland by A. E. Russel, which was brought up by the author and viewed the first editions of some of the poems of W. W. Gibson, Walter de la Murre, A. E. Russel and others. These poems were autographed by the authors.

"Everything's jake when you smoke P. A.
TROUBLE'S a bubble, just as the song says. And you can stick is with the stem of your old jimmy-pipe, filled to the brim with good old Prince Albert. A remedy? It's a specific! Ask any Jimmy-piper who ever butted into trouble.
Cool as the zone-of-kelvination you read about in the refrigerator ads. Sweet as the kiss of spring on a winter-weary brow. Fragrant as locust blossoms. Soothing as a cradle-song *And*—P. A. can't bite your tongue or parch your throat. The Prince Albert process fixes that!
Get on the sunny side of life with a jimmypipe and P. A. Tie a tidy red tin to trouble.
Smoke the one tobacco that's got everything you ever wished for—Prince Albert. Quicker you get going, the sooner your worries will be over. Men who thought they never could smoke a pipe are now P. A. fans. You'll be a cheerleader tool!
PRINCE ALBERT
—no other tobacco is like it!
