Engineers' Display to Be Permanent, Says P. F. Walker
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 13, 1924
Kansas Industrial Product and Processes Will Be Shown First at Exposition
"Almost 150 exhibits of products manufactured in Kansas will be on exhibition at the annual engineers exposition," said Dean P. F. Walker of the School of Engineering, yesterday.
Most of the exhibits will take the form of the actual articles produced, Dean Walker explained. The cement, salt and flour industries are preparing miniature samples of their production processes at stages of the manufacturing process. The Page flour mills of Topeka have already promised Dean Walker a fine miniature mill showing the milling process. The Leigh Portland Cement Company of Jola and the Ash Grove Mine have also promised to note have also promised a complete miniature process of their product "The most representative manufacturing towns in Kansas are Wichita, Topeka, Atchison and Hutchins." The Pall, Tala, Fla, Scott, and Pittburg, however, have large single industries.
"These exhibits will be for a permanent exposition of articles manufactured in the state. They will be housed at the University and made available for state fairs and any other special occasion. I believe when this exhibit is viewed by the students it will create a more appreciative understanding of what is being done in the industrial field in Kansas," said Dean Walker.
"I have had the most hearty cooperation of the manufacturing industries in Kansas in arranging for this exhibit. I think most people will be surprised to see the number of articles turned out in the state."
Aspirin Revives Flowers
Science Discovers New Method to Preserve Plants
Philadelphia, April 13—Cut flowers may be prevented from fading by giving them an aspirin tablet. Norman D. Keifer, pharmacist at the University Hospital of Chicago, states that by this method he has not only preserved flowers several days beyond the time when they would ornament it but has revived them when wilted.
The Reference Series
The experiments were conducted with chrysanthemums. Some of them were put into water to which an aspirin tablet had been added; the others were put into plain water. Kept under conditions otherwise the flowers were kept in the other two by the others by three days. In another case, flowers which had stood in a hot room over night and were badly wilted, were given fresh water to which an aspirin tablet had been added. They received in two hours the same amount of water when theyaked the day before. The leaves however, remained wilted.
The explanation of the action of the aspirin is that it acts as an antiseptic, interfering with the enzyme which normally causes the clogging of the vessels of the stem at its cut surface.
University Hospital Filled With Contagious Cases
An increase in mumps cases has filled the University hospital to such an extent that the nurses are overburdened with the work. The entire third floor of the building has been given over to the contagious cases, and an extra nurse has been brought from Topeka to help care for the patients. In addition to the number of contagious cases, there are also an unusually large number of other cases, none of whom are in serious condition.
The Ohio relays are to be inaqu
urated on April 19, in the Ohio sta
dium, Ohio State University's $1,600,
600 athletic plant.
"The present situation at the hospital emphasizes the need of the University for a new hospital." Dr. Smith said. "The present building is far from adequate, and the next improve-ments should be made, should be a new hospital, situated on the campus, where rent and other expenses will not be so high."
"Open house. We've got scarlet fever, What have you got?" The big canvas sign attached to the collar of my jacket tosses this greeting to the passerby.
Phi Psi Scarlet Fever Victims Receive Cake and Magazines in Answer to Quizzical Sign
The first reply to this quizical greeting was a five-pound box of candy from the Theas. Their card said "You've got lava fever. We've got sympathy." From then on many replies have been received. They range in variety from magazines to cake.
The girls now come to see the boys. Almost any evening you may see a long-distance Romeo and Juliet act in the Phi Pi alley. The Romeo stand on one side and the Juliet stand ten feet from them on the other side. They linger for minutes and talk about the weather.
Another pastime of the isolated students is to "raze" the people who pass along the street. The Lawrence motorcycle cop is one of the chief
"You can't come in here to get us." yelled Alex Hodges to the cop.
"You can come in here to get us,
yelled Alicia Hedges to the cop.
"You can't come out here either,"
the cop yelped back.
During the time of quarantine many dilapidated Fords belonging to the members of Phi Kappa Psi have been overhaul.
Annual Dramatic Club Play to Be Given at Bowersock This Week
Cast Returns from Second Trip On Road; "The Deluge" on Monday
on Monday
Members of the K. U. Dramatic Club will furnish the activities connected with the production of their annual play with a dinner at the University Commons, 6 p. , Wednesday.
Monday evening "The Deluge" will be put on at the Bowers theater by the Kansas City Theatre, under the auspices of the dramatic club. It has just completed a successful run of a week at the Ivanhoe Temple. They are bringing with them all of their works in the performances. The play is adapted from the Scandinavian of Henning Berger by Frank Allen.
The Dramatic Club returned from its second trip on the road with "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," Saturday afternoon. It has appeared in Sedgewick, Carbondale, Oswatimie, Neodesha, Florence and Horton, and will be given at the Bower sock Tuesday.
The plays are very different in character, according to Sam Woothey, president of the Dramatic club. Members will admit to either one of these.
Both Debate Teams Lose
Oklahoma and Colorado Defeat K. U. in Dual Contest
Both Kansas debate teams lost last night by the same number of judges votes, two to one. The affirmative team lost to the Oklahoma University team here while the negative team won. University of Colorado at Boulder.
The question debated was, "Resolved, that France In Justified in Occupying the Ruhr Valley." The judgers here were Prof. R. R. Rice, of the Kansas State Agricultural College; Prof. Charles Hicks, of Ottawa University; and Prof. Guy V. Price, of the College of Emporia.
The affirmative team was composed of Walker Moans, Mont Clair Schaefer, Mike Gleason, Jason Ferguson, and Leroy Raynolds were on the negative team.
Convocation to be Held to Gain Pep for Relay
Dr. John Outland and other former K. U. athletes will speak at convention Tuesday at 10 a.m. M. Members of the K. U. track team and the champion basketball team will be on hand. The host will hand up to the program.
Fay Mounton, former K. U. track star, and Dr. J. R. Reilly, athletic director of K. C. A. C., also speaker of the morning, are well qualified to lead of a track team Both Mounton and Reilly ran in the Olympics of 1966.

All the old stories have been told over and over again by the confined students. Reminiscences about the time that so-and-so put fly paper on the sleeping porch when it was 10 below zero, and how a certain fresh came home "lit" are always in order.
Three Fraternities Vote to Stay Over for Relay
Every time the door-bell rings or a sound is heard outside the house, the inhabitants of the cloister rally towards its source. Any communication with the outside world is welcomed on the Phi Pi island.
Pt. Upiah, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Sigma Phi Epsilon have each voted to stay over in a body for the Kansas RAY games. It is said that in some of these houses tickets for every man will be bought through the fraternity. In some of the other fraternities most of the men are gone and stay only for the rebuke, although no definite vote has been taken.
Since the vacation date has been changed to April 19 for the first day, it is expected that many other of the fraternities will vote to remain. So far, none of the Hill sororites have voted to stay over as a body, although many of the girls are going o remain for the relays.
Illinois Ships Insects
Chile Entomologist Will Return Native Specimens
Urbana, Illinois
Hillsboro, New York
Insects are going to South America! And they won't come back. In their will will come South American insects.
Dr. H. T. Frierson, systematic econtologist of the Natural History Survey, located at the University of Illinois, has just shipped to an econtologist in Chile a named and broad series of common Illinois beetles.
A new corporation formed for the purpose of relieving students of the drudgery of writing theses on subjects in which they are般-special recently passed out circulars on the campus at the University of Chicago. A group of professors filling the college requirements, on any subject, for ten dollars.
Doctor Frison says that many of the bettles included in the shipment are forms which do a considerable amount of damage each year to the agricultural products of Illinois and surrounding states. Still others among the series, on the contrary, are forms who do a large amount of good by destroy injurious insects. Insects that shipment the Illinois Natural History Survey will receive an assortment of the insects of Chile.
The proverbial ox in the ditch is to be saved much suffering by science, according to plans of the International Red Cross Committee at Geneva. A world atlas "showing clearly how earthquakes past as well as present, and of such as may reasonably be expected in the future," is proposed. Maps showing the distribution of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, vicarious tornadoes, typhoons, droughts, disasters, conflagrations in cities, invasions of locusts, famines, and the endemic center of plague, cholera, and yellow fever will be included. Preparation of this atlas will be preliminary to its official action upon receipt, S. O. S. is sent from the world's trouble centers.

"Lack of Wood" Set Down in Records of Chancellor Snow as Cause of Class Dismissal
"No recitation of this class today from lack of wood." That is one of the notations in the class records of Frank H. Snow during the spring of 1869. Mr. Snow, who from 1890 to 1962 was chancellor of the University of Kannas, was at that time a professor. "That just so much soror of would be hard to say, because he taught classes in natural philosophy, algebra, higher arithmetic, and zoology."
Professor Snow's class records are now in the possession of the alumni office. In one of the books is a letter addressed to Professor Snow, "Under the picture is the inscription, "The New Building." Each month the total attendance at the University is set down on the class record, and it is counted in 1808, this increased to 125 in 1872.
Those who took the examinations May 24, 1869 were listed according to their marks. The geometry class
Whenever there was a vacation Professor Snow was very careful to set down the cause. The lack of wood was one of these. Others are, "Prof. Snow at Leavenworth;" Spring reopening of the campus; "wife sick"; and "Election for bids in aid of University, Feb. 3, 1870." This last has reference to the $100, 000 bond issue which the city of Lawrence voted for the support of the University. Professor Snow seems ready to day in elections nor for the issue.
George Innes, Pioneer Merchant, Dies Saturday
George Imes, 80 years old, a resident of Lawrence for more than 50 years, well known as a successful pioneer merchant, died at his home, 701 Louisiana street, at 5:45 Saturday, as a result of heart disease and complications. He had been ill since the first of the year.
Mr. Innes came here in 1870 and has been in business for about 40 years as a member of the Innes, Hackman & Bulleine Dry Good Company, also he had an interest with his brother Iwnes in Innes department store in Wichita.
As a citizen here, he was particularly interested in the M. Y. C. A. and educational movements. He was active in church work and was active in church work.
Mystery "Ray" Doubted
Story of Death Dealing Radi May Be Fake
Washington, April 12—Radio anthurites here are not greatly impressed with the reported discovery by an English inventor of a mysterious "may," said to be able to step out of darkness up dog dynamic, or even kill men.
Dr. J. H. Dellinger, chief of the radio section of the U. S. bureau of standards, said the story looked very much like others which had omitted the months ago, and which upon investigation had not been substantiated. He said he knew of no kind of radiation which could accomplish the results that have been claimed in results of the invention of the English scientist.
"Of course," he said, "it is possible to have radio control of motors, airplanes and ships, provided there is a suitable radio receiving device on the mechanism to be directed. With such a device dynamite might be included in the radio system, but no possible way in which such an effect might be obtained unless the device to be affected were equipped to receive the radio waves."
Dr. E. W. Tisdale, secretary of the physics division of the National Research Council, considered the story of a mass exaggeration of a basis of fear.
Dr. F. W. Blackmar, head of the department of sociology, will speak at the Bradley Polytechnic Institute on Friday, June 14. He will give two lectures while there, one a special lecture before the political and social science group on "The Interaction of Groups," and an "Autobiography" on "The Landmarks of Americanism."
A new power plant has just been completed at Purdue University. The plant is declared to be one of the four constructed at a cost of $500,000.
had 6 members, zoology 5, algebra 2d, and arithmetic 21. A list of those absent is given. These persons are divided into two classes, those absent with excuses and those absent without. The "without" has been underpurpose of drawing attention to the gross misgrace of these persons.
This underlining of such phrases was apparently a characteristic of Professor Snow. In one place where he gives the history of a student the last notation is, "Finally sent home!" he last two words being underlined. Another instance of this occurs in the case of a student who must have had an attack of spring fever at examinations. Professor Snow's notes read, "Mr. Blank looked at the examination questions, wrote one sentence, and retried." This time "retirid" is the word underlined.
Examinations at that time consisted of two parts, an oral and a written. That they were no simpler than those of the present day is shown by students who had to make take-up examinations or enter school in the fall.
The cover of the University catalog for the year 1875-76, together with some notes relating to the printing of the catalog, are enclosed in one of the class books. There were 1,500 of these catalogs printed by the annual Steam Printing Establishment of Lawrence at a total cost of $26.

African Platinum Found
---
Deposits in Transvaal May Affect Price of Metal
Prospective brides and bride-grooms, chemists, scientists, dentists, and their patients will be affected by the discovery of platinum in the Transval.
The discovery was made last summer by Adelops Erasmus, a prospector. He was looking for tin and was going over a region that had been properly prospected for both old and tin without any platinum being found.
The farm on which platnum was discovered had once been a gold field. Panning yielded a few specks of gold and the farm was located beneath the bottom. Investigation showed the presence of platnum. Several companies are now exploiting the deposit which is located in the Waterhouse, about 160 miles north of Johannesburg.
The discovery is of great economic importance. More than one half the total product is now made into jewelry since platinum rings and settings have become popular. Hereof the supply of platinum has come to a standstill, and it was stopped at the time of the World War, South African platinum will prevent further rise in price and will probably materially reduce it.
There will be no Y. W. C. A. meeting Tuesday on account of vocational guidance conferences.
