Prof.F.M.Dawson Tells of European Technical Schools
Attended the World Power Conference at London;
All Nations are Represented
Prof. F. M. Dawson, head of the hydraulics laboratory, has recently returned from a three months tour of Europe, during which he visited in schools of Engineering and the hydraulics laboratories there, and attended courses of teaching and the research problems which they are at deakin.
Professor Dawson, attended the World Power Conference held in London from June 30 until July 13, 1924. Engineers from all countries of the world were present at this conference to exchange technical information on attempting to ascertain the amount of power obtainable, gaining a knowledge of the best means of utilizing this power, exchanging technical information as to the best machines to use, and to forming personal contacts with the engineers who had been water power discussed, but all other sources of power such as coal, oil, gas, and air, as well.
FOUR PAGES
During the sessions of the conference, over 5000 pages of condensed and authentic papers dealing with 21 problems in the production of power for commercial use, from engineers of all countries of the world, were endorsed and published. The sessions were held principally in the English language although French and German were also used.
Many Papers Endorsed
The American committee to the conference was composed of nearly 3,000 engineers, headed by O. C. Merrill (Tacoma), D. C. Williams (Washington), and D. C. Commission at Washington, D. C.
After the conference Professor Dawson visited the schools and laboratories of England. He also visited the School of Engineering at Delft, Holland. The requirements for enceice in Schools of Engineering all over Europe are much higher than this country, Professor Dawson found. "We have no knowledge of a curralled who has not a readable knowledge of at least four languages and a knowledge of mathematics as far as calculus.
Visits German Laboratory
Switzerland, France, and Belgium were also visited during the trip.
In Germany laboratories, were visited mainly with a view to applying the work they are doing on river control. The laboratory of Dr. Robbeck at Kirchhau, is probably the last equipped laboratory in the field of river work on rivers. The work done there has been proved to be very good by the actual construction in the field of structures designed at the laboratory. To such extent is this case that practically all new structures of any size are first tried out here using models on reduced scale. Dr. Robbeck has six permanent assistants working with him. Two of these assistants are for which he is doing work in regard to control of the Zeider, Zee.
Prof. Dawson believes good work can be done in the hydraulics laboratory here. Equipment is still being installed but it is his intention to start a series of investigations and experiments which will be of benefit to the state in the near future.

Apache Puts Thrill Across With Shotgun
Getting shot in the leg by anApache was one of the varied experiences of Donald M. Shero, M. D. 28, who spent his summer vacation in Europe.
"It happened while I was in Paris" said Shire, "I decided that I would see some of the wildlife I had heard so much about, so I left the hotel while mother was asleep and had a taxi driven take me to the Anchoche at the Mammutre, which is much used in the movies, ab ut 2 a. m.
"From there I went to the Montparnasse. I had just sat down to drink some of the stuff which is tabou over here, when the lights went out and a moved-off shotgun roared. It didn't take me long to decide that something was wrong with the picture; and being as it was not looking for an rendezvous with death, I beat up the man who hid in left 'faster'. It was not until then that I discovered several pieces of truck-shot in my left leg.' She said he thinks the biggest interest in Europe is the French liquors.

Cause of Leaking Roof Located in Basement
Not many folks would think of going into a cut-basement to find the cause for a leak in the roof of a 4- story building, would they? Yet that is what they did at the University of Kansas a short time ago.
The ceiling of one room on the top floor of the Administration building, and the ceiling of an adjacent hall became badly discarded, and 0 times water began draining through, exuding a stench that some damage to contents of the room.
Roofing experts were called in, and though they could not locate the leak, they decided that a portion of the roof would have to be replaced, at an estimated cost of several thousand of dollars.
Rather than incur this expense, in vestigations were continued in an of fort to locate the leak, and finally it was decided that there was no "leak" at all, but the moisture was crused by condensation. The men went down into the sub-basement, built a wall across one room, changed the currents of air, and the water stopped dripping from the ceiling.

Zoning Important, Says A. D. Smith of Wichita Board
Protects City and Business From Haphazard and Wasteful Way of Building
Zoning is as important as any other feature of city planning, according to Albert D. Smith, chairman of the city planning board, Wichita.
"Zoning does not endeavor to put existing stores out of residential districts, or apartments out of private buildings, but it does business localities," said Mr. Smith at the fifteenth annual convention of the League of Kansas Municipalities at Hutchinson recently, "but it does business and change of business."
"Zoning is plain common sense," Mr. Smith declared. "It is a measure designed to put the right building in the right place. It is protective. It safeguards the city against wasteful haphazard building. The zoning plan, it is properly understood, will have support of every sensible "citizen."
Residences Safe by Zoning
Resilience Sare by Zebong
of building a city is wasteful and
extravagant. When industries have no
well defined districts to settle in, they
 pick whatever location they can find.
They must be kept for residential purposes.
They apeet calculations of owners, change the character of the street, and force self-respecting store propriets to move. This shifting and readjustment is an unnecessary effort and expense; the sacrifice of property values is an extra expense on the community.
Increases Property Value
Increases Property Value
"The home surroundings of citizens in the city are not been measured. Of course, if a man has means, he may be able to buy off the fellow who would build a fissure store next door. But how many can afford it?" A survey of home values of rich and poor slaves have been undermined by random stores, superfluous filling stations, out-of-use automobile repair shops. To prevent the continuance of such influx of affairs is the purpose of zoning.
By a community agreement embodied in a zoning ordinance, it has been found possible to introduce common sense into the building of cities. We have had the zoning law in Wichita for nearly two years. Besides its other benefits a recent real estate law provides that property values in residential district had increased from 20 to 50 per cent, and that the downtown-street property values also increase," Mr. Smith said in conclusion.
A—Building code is needed.
Mr. Walter J. Tible, of Lawrence, in commenting on Mr. Smith's talk, said: "The present zoning law applicable to cities of more than 29,000 land and is broad enough to provide for a building code ordinance. In all of this zoning the building code can't been talked of much. The building codes could be paved under the provision of the present zoning laws in which it is applicable. I think that both are badly needed."
