FOAM FLOWS IN COLLEGE LEAGUE

“And make mines with a low white collar." That’s the latest fashion trend with co-eds at the University of Wisconsin this season. Dresses, of course. Never! Beer! For, just as a safety measure, the board of regents has approved the sale of 3.2 brew in university quarters, to keep the girls away from unsupervised taverns. A group of seagoing co-eds is shown here, in charge of their schooners.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BANDITS LEAP ON CAB; FOILED BY QUICKSTART Trio Hurled From Running Board, City Driver Informs Police. Three bandits, who jumped on the side of a car occupied by Mr. and Mrs. John Christian, 1536 Shelby street, last night, were foiled when Mr. Christian threw the car in low gear and started it suddenly, throwing the men from the running board. The incident occurred on Noble street when Mr. Christian stopped for a stop sign at Michigan street. He told police as he drove away he saw the men attempt to stop another car following, also without success.

NORTH INDIANA TEACHER GROUP NAMESLEADERS Bluffton School Official Is Elected President at Ft. Wayne. By Tik>* Special FT. WAYNE, Oct. 20.—Orville M. Craig, superintendent of schools at Bluffton for eight years, today became president of the Northeastern Indiana Teachers’ Association following election of officers at the annual convention here. Harry E. Lewallen, Warsaw, Kosciusko county schools superintendent, was elected vice-president, and M. F. Worthman. Decature superintendent of schools, was re-elected secretary-treasurer. Craig, who has had thirty-five years’ experience as an educator, declared that Indiana schools were facing one of the most critical periods in history. Approximately 3.000 teachers are attending the convention, which was to end today. Governor Sennett Conner of Mississippi was “graduated” from his college all over again this year, having lost his original diploma.

Parley Voo? Roosevelt Varies Reply: Taiks in French.

By T’nltcd Press WASHINGTON, Oct 20.—Local newspaper reporters invariably ask President Roosevelt at press conferences what he is doing about naming new district commissioners. He usually explains he has been too busy to consider the question. A native of France, now a reporter on a paper here, asked the usual question in French Wednesday. The President responded at length in the same tongue. “Wait a minute," interposed another reporter. “I don’t understand French. Isn’t this unfair competition?” The President replied he had simply said there was nothing new on the district commissioners. CITY~ AGENCY IS CLEAR Not Connected With Firm in Receivership, Says Pinkus. The National Life Insurance Company of Montpelier, Vt„ which has offices here, is in no way connected with the National Life Insurance Company of the United States, which went into receivership early this week, it was pointed out today by V, E. Pinkus, general agent for the Montpelier company.

—Dietz on Science—‘BßASS BRAIN’ IS TRIUMPH OF MACHINE AGE Intricate Problems Solved for Scientists by Invention. BY DAVID DIETZ Scrlpps-Howarcl Science Editor The “periodometer" Is a triumph of the machine age. The machine is the invention of Dr. C. G. Abbot, secretary of the Smithsonian Insti-' tution. It is a machine for solving Intricate mathematical problems and because it seems to the onlooker as though it almost was capable of thinking, it has been nicknamed the “brass-brain.” Mathematical machines have been among the most interesting developments of the machine age. Every one, of course, is familiar with the ordinary adding machine, I However, there are more intricate calculating machines which multiply and divide as well, furnish squares or square roots, and so on. These machines have come into widespread use in banks, insurance companies and many business organizations, as well as in scientific laboratories and astronomical observatories. They are particularly valuable to engineers and architects. Predicted Tide Hour More interesting, though of more specialized uses, are the still more intricate machines. A number of these deal with periodical phenomena where *the result sought is the total effect of a number of factors. All the factors are operating regularly or periodically but with different time periods. The total effect, therefore, itself is an involved cycle. One of the early mathematical machines was a tide predictor, suggested by Lord Kelvin in 1876 at a meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. The tide in any particular harbor varies from day to day as a result of many factors, among them, of course, the position of the moon. Lord Kelvin suggested a machine consisting of eccentric wheels which could be set to represent a variety of factors. Chain Operates Pointer The motions of all these wheels were communciated to a chain which in turn operated a pointer. It was possible, therefore, to set the wheels to represent the factors for any harbor. The machine then would predict the tide at any future date. Lord Kelvin s machine now is in the South Kensington museum. But machines based on its principle are in use all over the world. The United States coast and geodetia survey has one in Washington. Dr. Dayton c. Miller, former president of the American Physical society, has two mathematical machines for the study of sound waves. These are the most thorough machines of their kind in existence. A sound wave is a complex vibra* tion of the air. Dr. Miller invented a machine known as the phonedeik which turns sound waves into movements of a beam of light and makes it possible to photograph them. The mathematical machines are fat studying the complex curves to which the phonedeik reduces a sound wave. One Draws Curves One machine, known as the Hen# rici analyzer, will separate a com* plex curve into its component parts and indicate on dials the mathematical equation representing those curves. The other, known as the synthesizer, does the opposite trick. If its wheels are set according to the mathematical equation, it automatically draws the curves which they represent. Dr. Abbot’s machine attacks a problem somewhat similar to that of the tide predictor or the soundwave machines. But in some ways it is a still more difficult machine. Dr. Abbot’s periodometer is a sori of mechanical Sherlock Holmes. His chief interest for many years ha3 been the study of the sun and in particular the effect of solar radiation upon the weather. He has been the foremost figure in this work, Inventing a number of instruments for studying the sun’s radiation, Sun’s Radiation Varies Under Dr. Abbot’s direction, ths Smithsonian Institution has established observatories on high mountains in widely scattered localities to study the sun. Dr. Abbot believes that the sun’s radiation varies from day to day and that these variations are the primary cause of variations in the weather. Now, in studying weather from day to day, Dr. Abbot was interested in finding whether or not there were underlying factors which went in cycles or periods. If such a cycle can be found, then the task of finding its cause is considerably simplified. And that Is the purpose of ths periodometer to take a complex curve, such as the daily fluctuations represent, and attempt to find ths underlying cycles or periods in it.

Knock Out that COLD! Give It No Chance To Get Going! A cold once underway is a cold hard to drive away! Let no colq endanger you. At the first chill of sneeze, take Grove’s Laxative Bro mo Quinine. It usually makes shorl work of a cold because it is express-# ly a cold remedy and because it gets at a cold from the inside. A cold, you know, is an internal infection and calls for internal treatment. Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinind means COMPLETE relief because it is COMPLETE treatment. It does all the four things necessary. Ik opens the bowels, combats the cold germs and fever in the system, relieves the headache and grippy feeling and tones and fortifies the entire system. That’s the action yon want and anything less is taking chances. Get Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine at any druggist, 30c and 50c. Ask for it by the full name and accept no substitute.—Advert tisemeni.
