Professor Hawson attended the World Power Conference held in London from June 30 until July 15, 1924. Engineers from all countries of the world were present at this conference to ascertain the amount of power obtainable, gaining a knowledge of the best means of utilizing this power, exchanging technical information so that the best machines to use, and to forming personal contacts with the engineers, could have been was water power disease, 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 all problems in the production of power for commercial use, from engineers of all countries of the world, were endorsed and published. The students were held principally in the English language although French and German were also used.
Many Papers Endorsed

Switzerland, France, and Belgium were also visited during the trip.
Visits German Laboratory
In Germany laboratories were visited mainly with a view to studying the work they are doing on river ice control. The laboratory of Dr. Roekhee at Karkabla, is probably the best equipped laboratory in the world for experiments on river ice work, in which 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 the case that practically all new structures of any size are first tried out here using models on reduced scale. Dr. Roekhee has six perimeter assistant workers working in two Dutch departments for which he is doing work in regard to control of the Zonder Zeer.
were also visited during the trip.
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.

"From there I went to the Montparnasse. I had just sat down to drink some of the stuff which is tabaio over here, when the lights went out and a sawed-off shotgun roared. It didn't take me long to decide that something was wrong with the picture; and being as I was not looking for an rendezvous with death, I bent it out to my taxi as fast as I could and left faster. It was not until then I got out and shot back into the back-sack in my left leg." She said he thinks the biggest interest in Europe is the French limous.

Cause of Leaking Roof Located in Basemen
Not many folks would think of going into a cul-basement to find the cause for a leak in the roof of a 4-actory building, would they? Yet that is what they did at the University ci 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 discolored, and finally water began dripping through, causing damage to the walls. The dimmer demizes 'o 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 battles 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 crushed 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
Zoering is as important as any other feature of city planning, according to Albert D. Smith, chairman of the city planning board, Wichita.
"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 that was implemented will have the support of every sensible citizen.
"Zoning does not endeavor to put existing stores out of residential district, or apartments of of private businesses in business locations," said Mr. Smith at the fifteenth annual convention of the League of Kansas Municipalities at Hutchinson recently, "but it does recognize new business and change."
Residences Safe by Zoning
"The haphazard, disorderly method of building a city is wasteful and extravagant. When industry have no well defined districts to settle in, they pick whatever location they can find. They come into territory that should be kept for residential purposes.
They apex 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
"The home surroundings of citizens in an unsecured city have not been assured. Of course, if a man has means, he may be able to buy off the fellow who would build a fifty-seam house, but such high-priced protection? The home values of rich and poor alike have been undermined by random stores, superfluous filling stations, out-of-place automobile repair shops, the continuation of a state of affair is the purpose of zoning.
By a community agreement embodied in a zoning ordinance, it has been found possible to introduce both mense sense into the building of cities. We have had the sowing law in Wichita for nearly two years. Besides it other benefits a recent real estate law has showed that the value in residential district) had increased from 20 to 50 per cent, and the down-town district' 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 20,000 land and is broad enough to provide for a building code ordinance. In all of this zoning the building code can't be talked of much. The building codes could be placed under the provisions of the present zoning laws in which it is applied, think myself that both are badly needed."
