Experimdenter Has Invention to Extract Electricity From Veins of Mineral
By Mark H. Knights (United Press)
"When my method of extracting, electricity from the mineral veins of the earth is perfected," Woodward said, "all the wheels of industry, all the light and heat required to provide the luxuries required by a bldg. is obtained from the earth's batteryes perpetually charged from beneath the earth's surface."
Although an angle Woodward has not studied in his 25 years of ex-perimentation with harnessing the earth's untold electrical energy, he said he believed transmission of energy would be carried out by wire less.
Transmit by Wireless
"I have no doubt," the investor of the electrical storage battery process declared, "that within a few decades—possibly by the time my idea is developed to the practical stage—all long distance wireless communication will be wireless."
At the present, Woodward lives, his process has become p. tical for individual home use. "In the near future," he told his interviewer, "I intend to demonstrate that I have learned of living the lights and power for a home from storage batteries charged by the earth."
FOUR PAGES
Guarded Secret
Although Woodward still guards closely the secret of his process, he said that several electrical engineers are familiar with his experiments and can testify to the reliability of his statements.
Woodward has for 38 years worked in mines of Colorado. Twelve-five years ago, he said, an incidental discovery of electrical energy emitted by a rich vein of gold and silver ore, started him on the path of research which has led his present annuity event.
Minerals Natural Conductors
"I am not at liberty at this time to tell much of my experiments," Woodward said. "Nor can I give the location of the ground where I have carried on my experiments and where I still am working.
Minerals Natural Conductors
"Electrical energy comes from the rays of the sun, and is distributed through its atmosphere. Naturally, energy follows the path of least resistance, and this path is mineralized.
"Gold, silver, and copper are natural conductors' of electricity, and therefore carry the largest charges. I have been successful in taking the electricity from such vein and storing it in a battery. It is an inexpensive supply of electrical energy—a supply that never can fail."

Pi, Veteran Mascot of Pi U and K.U., Missing for Many Months; Foul Play Feared
What has become of Pi? That is the question in the minds of many of the upperclassmen in the University, and it was the reign of 13 years as official dog mancus of the University and of the Pi Upaion fraternity, it is small wonder indeed that he is greatly missed by the faculty and the upperclassmen.
Pi was brought to the University in 1910, he was a mere pup, then, to the mascot of the Pi Upsilon fraternity, and later to the university's pugnancy and for the ease and new enchance with which he accepted university life. He became a familial figure not only on the campus and in conversations and classrooms as well.
His favorite resting place during conventions was the most prominent place on the rostrum, while in sorority houses only the best divan would do. Pi attracted so much attention during conventions that the University marshall wrote the members of the Pi Uplosion and requested that Pi be induced to occupy a less prominent place during such gatherings. At the same time the marshal complained that he was not allowed at such times. From then on Pi was forced to take a more obscure place at conventions.
During his regime at the University, Pi never allowed any other dog to usury his official position, although many a royal battle was staged by him and his contender, in and these *ways* convinced $^{14}$ others the dog that

Jane Cowl Begins Season
Tour Starts With Production of Romeo and Juliet
The Selwyns have heartened to the pleas of the few large cities that have not seen the beautiful portraital of Juliet given by Jane Cawl in, in association with Adolph Khanber, have arranged that she be given a private view before New York sees her in a new play this season.
Miss Cowling begins her season in Toronto, Canada, on Sept. 15 and will visit a number of other cities before going to Chicago in October, where she will be in other of her repatriations in addition to "Ronce and Juliet."
Rollo Peters will again play Romeo and the supporting cast is to be selected from the other members of Miss Cow's permanent company, all of whom appeared in the original New York production of "Romeo and Juliet," when it enjoyed the longest consecutive run on stage. Shakespeare play ever produced.

the present mancet was still antifab-
tory. As he grew old, he showed more disreation in picking fights, but his battle scarred frame seemed sufficient to frighten the majority of his antagonists into submission.
His last year at the University was in 1923. Because of a ruling in Lawrence requiring all dogs to wear mugs, during the summer of that year he was taken to Kansas City, Mn., by some members of 19 Uplodge. Heysteriously disappeared after he about a month, and after several week search and brought back to the city for sale seeing.
He disappeared again after a short line and has never been found, alough it was reported that he nonnobilitantly ambled out on the stage of his Pantages剧院 in Kansas City里 an act of vindeville.
Inquiries were made and it was found that the dog in question did not belong in the net at all but had been dancing around the theater for several lays. He was arrested for his violence, which was of the type he had been since then.
During Pi's checkered career at the University he had often been seized with fits of wanderer and disappeared for a day or two, but in minor trouble, he returned. But Pi has met with play, and if he is not dead, he is undoubtedly far from here, since it is impossible to imagine his mid-19th-century role in this real-life tale.

Vital Problems Discussed
Important Measures Put Before U. S. Cabinet Today
(United Press)
Washington, Sept. 23—President Cecilidge today placed before his cabinet two questions of importance—the relative importance of aircraft and battleships and governmental economy.
It was expected that Secretary of Navy Wilbur would place before the President a rough outline of the survey he had been ordered to make into the aircraft vs. battleship problem and asked suggestions.
Secretary of War Weeks and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace were the only members absent from the important discussion.
The President believed that he could smooth matters by taking up difficulties directly with the department heads.
The Botany club will hold its annual picnic tomorrow night. Members of the club will leave Snow Hall at 5:30 o'clock and will go to Kochiburg's Grove cast of the city. Several new members will be initiated at the picnic. Persons are eligible to wear robes in the club who are taking second course in botany, Miss Zena Thompson is president of the club.
Students from Kansas City, Mo., should register at their regular present places of registration in Kansas City for Thursday night, in order that they be admitted to the regular November elections.
Other matters which were to be brought up were Secretary Hoover's negotiations with large business in the oil sector, his legal sphere or trade associations.
Botany Club to Have Picnic
Voters in Kansas will register later. Watch the Kansan for announcement.
Age-Worn Chart Shows Easy Road to Phantom Mine
Old Trunk Contains Key t
Lost Treasure Trove;
Uncarried After
15 Years
Ladbridge, Caleb, Sept. 23.—From a soiled, age-worn treasure chart, which appeared so important to its author that he never gave it a second thought, Edwin Osborne, together with three companions taken into his possession, a phantom man that promises to put the quartet in "easy street."
When Leadville was young and important mineral discoveries were daily occurrences, Zach O'borne, an old prospector, made a rich air strike near the mountain, before he afterward he made another discovery near Leadville and never got the chance to return to the Eagle claim, so charted the property, and its mineralogy. He was proud to his six-year-old son Edwin, when his father died.
For 15 years the lad remained in Arizona. In the meantime the trunk, with the key to wealth, was expressed to relinquish in Gun City, Cobo, and there stored in an attic, apparently the remainder of its days untouched.
When he reached his majesty Edwin Odoriee made a trip to Colorado from Battle Creek, Mich., where he was then working. That happened to be a few weeks ago. While in Chicago, he decided he would collect all his belongings.
Young Edwin was sent to relatives in Arizona soon after his father's death. His belonging were all plied in an old miner's trunk, with the chart lying wrinkled at the bottom of the beam.

Links Through Trunk
Coming upon the old trunk Erklin was informed there was "nothing of value" in it, and was advised to burn it up. Curiosity, however, himself to explain the contents, and the effects, he did not fail; so the burning insulation.
"We've got a little time, let's take a flyer at this old "Tressure Island" stuff." Edwin laughingly remarked to his friend Hugh Mitchell.
James Fyle, an assayer and Thomas James, another friend of the group, were taken into the secret and started out on their "fishing trip."
A few hours aft $r$ the search started, the four came up the treasure lode, mapped so accurately by theged prospector that there was no difficulty in confirming their re-discovery.
"I'm on," his friend replied, "We can take some tackle along and pull in a few Rainbow trout, if we don't get the rat of gold."
Claims were located, and when the group returned from their trip TYfe (and that samples taken assayed 20 ounces of gold, 70 ounces of silver and a most sprinkling of zinc, one of the discoveries made in recent years)
"If that mine is half as good as it looks, Pyfe declared, "it will have something on all the Spanish petatess of the treasure hunter of fiction."
Find Treasure Lode
Washington, Sept. 23. - Autumn's official arrival at 2591 a.m. found astronomers at the naval observatory here with their eyes glued to the telescopes in search of the new comet reported discovered in the southern skies by Professor Sinister of Born Germany.
The treasure chart vein is a frak of Colorado mining discoveries in that it contains quantities of free gold, in that it contains gold in a combination "that is seldom seen."
Wire Flashes
A heavy pull of clouds, however,
balled their endeavors and they will be removed tonight with prospects of better conditions.

Students Teach Haskell Sunday School Classes
The social service committee began its work Sunday with 10 students who went to Haskell Institute to teach Sunday school classes in the Sunday school there. This has been done for a number of years. Women are secured by the Y. W. C. A. to teach the women's clauses and men are secured by the Y. M. C. A. to take charge of the women's clauses. All of work is carried on under the direction of Elmer Lindenpict, director of religious education at Haskell Institute.
"This work is one of real interest, and reward to the young people around here in that it gives them an opportunity to share their life with a very interesting group of young people," said Mr. Lundmist.
Lee Green is chairman of the Hasskell committee which is a sub-committee of the social service committee. Those who went to Haskell from the Y, M, C, A. were: Bridley Judy, Laurence Walker, Alonza Shouss, Adolph Kroebe and Carl Kroebe.
Mail Rates to Increase
Harry S. New Tells Postmasters at Convention
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 23.—Increased postal rates were reported by Harry S. New, postmaster-general, in an address today before the annual convention of the national association of postmasters.

There is also a picture of the Model 14 lintop. On this machine it is possible for one person to produce in the same time as much composition as诚然 could be produced by five or six persons doing the work by hand; and the composition is incomparably better. Samples of lintop slugs and of a lintop matrix are displayed.
The walls of this room also boast a copy of the Kansas City Evening Star for Saturday, Sept. 18, 1880. The sheets are much smaller than those of the Kansas City Star which we now read. The headlines are a very small. The paper contains topics of much interest and to a Kansas citizen or anyone even slightly associated with Kansas City who find the want aid, which require several pages or a whole section, confined to about one-self of the last page. G. Y. Smith & Company and Roll, Thayer & Williams claim the most advertising space in this old paper.
"Spend Money Wisely," Admonishes Chancellor Speaking to Freshmen
"Sound your money for the things that count," declared Chancellor E. H. Lindley in the third of a series of freshman letters, night after night to Pfrassal he wrote.
Keeping Body and Mind in Good Condition Stressed by Doctor Lindley
"Eearcy isn't stinginess," said Chancellor Lindley. "It is the direction of things that are needed for life. Attend the university concerts but do not spend your money foolishly on the street."
"Establish simplicity in your number of living," he advised. "In this way it is possible for more students to stay in the university and enjoy the variety of courses which many cannot enjoy because of the high standard of living."
In the lecture, Chancellor Lindley emphasized the need of keeping the body and mind in good condition.
"The body and mind fluctuate together," he said. "They are like sinuous twins; if one is depressed, the other is affected. Bad food, bad air, and habit affect one's clear thinking. Mental virility determines the capacity of energy and the ability to be gained by increased effect and concentration."
The freshman audience was the largest which has attended the lectures. Men in the center section were requested to give their seats to women and sit along the edge of the stage.
