While Ihe Wheel
Kept on Turning
Perpetual motion-that "quality" of
mechanics the suggestion of which has
caused the physicist to tear his hair,
the inventor to get dopey with visions,
and which has given the public appen-
dicitis from swallowing whole, window
displays of seeming impossibilities-
has been achieved.
A model in our own engineering col-
lege is daily demonstrating the truth
of the assertion and is causing the
downfall of well-known, fundamental
laws of physics and mechanics. The
"Law of the Conservation of Energy"
has taken an awful tumble, dragging
with it the "Law of the Conservation
of Mass" and knocking the props from
under Sir Isaac Newton's three popu-
lar hypotheses. "Laws of Friction"
are shot full of holes and ,"Common
Law" is going to be established in full
legality.
After many appeals the invention
has been spread broadcast over the
campus and anyone may view the ma-
chine in the lower corridor of the en-
gineering building. There in a corner
of the hall is the machine. It is the
left front wheel of-an automobile.,
The wheel, attached to the mounted
chassis of a Studebaker, is revolving
any time you look-all the time.
No one is seen to touch the wheel.
It does not get its power through a
hidden spring or a belt in the axle.
No invisible jet of air plays over the
surface of .the rubber tire. The sur-
rounding air is not especially sur-
charged with electrons to coax the
wheel around. Oh, no; the explana-
tion is much simpler.
Some one in an idle moment gave
the wheel a turn to see if it would
"go." It did, and it went for a long
time. In fact, it's going yet, with the
help of other turns administered in
other idle moments, evidently with the
theory that "one good turn deserves
another."
Each of the young engineers passing
this point, and there is a constant
stream of them, gives the wheel a kick.
With their well-known liking for and
understanding of "practical illustra-
tions," they watch it spin and are
brought to an immediate understand-
ing of fundamental and complicated
laws of mechanics and physics.

AT THETHEATRESI
"The Ware Case" at the Garrick
"The Ware Case," which the Gar-
rick company will offer at the Gar-
rick theatre, Detroit, all next week,{
with Lou Tellegan as star, supported
by Montague Love, Gladys Hanson,x
Albert Bruning, and an unusual cast,
has been termed a sensational mys-
tery play of surprises. The audience
is kept in doubt as to the trend of the
story until the fall of the final cur-
tain.
The play is by George P. Bancroft,a
son of Sir Squire Bancroft, who writes
under the name of. George Pleydell,
and was produced at the Wyndon
theatre, London, where it has enjoyed
long and continued success with Ger-
ald du Maurier in the principal role.
Despite the war excitement this play
continues to exercise its hold upon the
English public.' The first production
is being made in Cleveland this week,
and after the Detroit engagement the
play goes directly to New York City.
A mighty good bill is offered at the
Majestic theater in the form of a min-
iature musical comedy. W. B. Frie-
lander, Inc., produces this play, which
is written by Lou Hough, author of
several good musical hits. Billy Kent
is the comedian and is very clever.
He is supported by a very good cast
and a fair chorus. Among some of
the best songs are: "Traveling," "Take
a Jitney Ride," "On the Honeymoon
Express," and "She Fell in Love With
a Toreador." The scenery is good and
the costumes are in keeping with the
play.

Coming to the Whitney theater on

dainty musical success, "The Only
Girl," which comes here direct from
a year's run at the Lyric theater, New
York, where it was conceded to be the
greatest musical hit of the past few
years in the big metropolis. It is the
work of Victor Herbert and Henry
Blossom, who have in the past given
us "The Red Mill," "Mle. Modiste"
and operas of that high standard. The
production is under the management
of its original producer, Joe Weber,
who has kept the cast, chorus and or-
chestra intact since it was seen in New
York.

With teams of university

The work, which has

st year was to have a team of five
lege men leave Ann Arbor Friday
ternoon, reaching the town to be vis-
,d before the close of the day session
the high school. One of "the team,
nerally some one prominent in uni-
rsity athletics, spoke to the boys of
e school, and in addition to telling
em of the university, invited them
take part in the meetings which the
am intended to hold.
Banquets were held on Friday nights
told the purpose of the team in visit-
ing their community.
On Saturday meetings with the local
pastors were held in the morning, and
the afternoon was spent in sports with
the boys. The evening was devoted to
a practical discussion of the sex prob-
lem with the older ,boys of the town.
Sunday afternoon the culmination of
the trip came when the practical
Christian life was put up to the boys
by some member of the team. Gener-
ally a meeting for the fathers was also
held at this time. In the evening a
union service of all the churches was
held and three of the members ad-
dressed the congregation on practical
ways to better the boy life of the com-
munity.
The work this year will be on a larg-
er scale than ever before, and the plan
is to enlist about 100 university men
for the purpose of making the trips.
The accompanying cut shows one
team engaged with the boys of a com-
munity in a Saturday afternoon de-
voted to sports.
