me. Homer's father was the Rev-
id Dr. William Trimble Beatty of
sburg, a Presbyterian minister,
was one of the pioneers in the
k of higher education for women.
en his health failed, he went to
nesota, where he filled charges in
Paul and Minneapolis.
fter Dr. Beatty's death, the family
irned East and settled in Chester,
where the daughter Louise, now
singer, began her career in the
formance of the cantata, "Ruth and
mi." She was 14 years of age at
time. When old enough to fill a
ir position, Miss Beatty was engag-
by the West Spruce Street Presby-
an church in Philadelphia.
ncouraged by friends, the went to
ton, where she pursued advanced
lies under Sydney Homer, the com-
sr, whom she later married. Soon
rward, she and her husband went
Paris, where Mme. Homer contin-
her preparation for an operatic ca-
r. Her debut was in 1898 as Leo-
a in "La Traviata" at Vichy,
ance, before one of the most criti-
audiences of Europe.
.fter two years she was called to
idon for a season at Covent Gar-
her success there earning her an
it months' engagement at the Rus-
i Royal opera house in Petrograd.
L900, Mme. Homer was engaged for
Washington, April 28.-The govern-
ment is preparing to relinquish control
of American cable lines and to re-
store the telegraph and telephone sys-
tems to private ownership immediately
after enactment by congress of laws
necessary to safeguard the property.
Postmaster-General Burleson as di-
recting head of the extensive wire
communication service taken over as
a war measure, announced today he
had sent to President Wilson a recom-
iendation that the cables be turned
back forthwith, probably not later than
May 10. An hour later the postmaster-
general gave out a statement saying
he would recommend that the tele-
graph and telephone service be re-
turned to private owners contingent,
however, on financial protection to be
obtained by congress.

Housed in the old power house, closec
to the Engineering building is a lab-
oratory, the like of which does not ex-
ist in this country or even in the
world. This is the evaporator labora-
tory, which is a branch of the chemi-1
cal engineering 'epartment.
Laboratory Is Giftj
The evaporator laboratory is the gift
of the Swenson Evaporator Co. of
Chicago. In July, 1917, the gift was
accepted and in the spring of 1918 the
first evaporator was installed. Owing
to war conditions the deliveryof the
remaining two evaporators was de-
layed, and it is just within the last
few weeks that installation was be-
gun.
When the three evaporators are set
up, no other university or experiment
station will have anything to equal
this. There are universities which
have one small evaporator, which may
be used for demonstration purposes
but are not- available for research or
experimental work. Large manufac-
turing plants have more and bigger
evaporators, but they are not of dif-
ferent types or available for any kind
of research work.
Provides fpr Research
Two kinds of research will be con-
ducted, theoretical research, which
has to do with the mechanical design
behind the machines, and experimen-
tation with specific materials or li-
quors. With the one machine which
has been installed for the past year,
experiments have been conducted, and
the evaporator has been idle hardly a
day. The two new machines will tre-
ble the amount of work which may be
done, and greatly increase the prob-
lems which may be sol ed.
Under the first typ , that of theo-
retical research, such problems will
be solved as what adjustments of the
machines will bring the best results.
This sort of experimentation is the
one which will occupy most of the
time.
Has Commercial Value
The second phase of research, ex-
perimentation with specific materials,
is one which has great commercial
value. In the laboratory there
are at present several specimens of
materials of which commercial houses

desire to learn the value.
Experiments are thus worked for
commercial purposes by which it is
able to be learned if a certain speci-
men of sugar is- of sufficient quality to
be of commercial value, and what
type of an evaporator is best adapted
for its manufacture. By agreement,
the Swenson Evaporator Co. may have
any commercial experiments worked,
as long as the research work of the1
University is not interfered with.
Other Colleges
Give .loan Quota
With other colleges subscribing'
their quota or helping the local drive
with theirs, the Victory Loan is once
more assuming proportions and is be-
ing materially helped along by univer-
sities of-the country. Mass meetings
have inspired the students, and most of
the colleges have obtained men from
overseas to lend the pep to the meet-
ings and make appeals. The enthusi-
asm for the loan is not so great as
for the former ones, but the colleges
have no fear of not subscribing their
quota.
At Iowa, up to date, $16,000 has been
subscribed. Harvard at the end of
the second day is responsible for
$5,600, the senior class leading. The
students of the University of Kansas
oversubscribed their quota the first
day of the drive, going over the $20,-
000 subscription by $2,950. It is ex-
pected by the chairman that the uni-
versity will double its quota. Wis-
consin will have no active part in the
drive except in case the city falls be-
low.
Madison has a quota of $2,163,280 to
raise, and it is expected the university
will boost the sum with their subscrip-
tions. This is the case at many of the
universities where the students have
no quota of their own, but are going
to help with the city or county where
the university is situated.

LOAN FUND BEGUN
FOR LAW STUDENTb
As an aid in completing their law
training which otherwise would be in-
terrupted by lack of financial means,
H. H. Servis, 09JL. of Detroit, has just
established a loan fund for the benefit
of law students. m
The fund, which will be available
after the present year, has already
been started with a generous sum
which is to be added to annually by
Mr. Servis. Preference will be given
to senior students, according to the
plan. Application for a loan from this
fund must be made to the dean of the
Law school and will be granted or de-
nied largely on the basis of the schol-
arship and character of the applicant.1
Mr. Servis whose headquarters are
in Detroit has charge of the legal and
other property interests of the S. S.
Kresge company. lie has always main-
tained a loyal interest in the U'niver-
sity and especially in the Law school.
It is interesting to note that Mr. Sr-
vis is a man who has himself made his
own way through his educational ex-
perience and consequently can sym-
and especlal law students, withou
means.
