though an examination of the heart
showed that it was normal.
The conclusive evidence of crime
was found in the skin. The extensive
burns on the body showed that it had
been in contact with an intense fire
for at least ten minutes.
Though damaging, the evidence"
was considered only superficial, so
I Dr. Bugher removed the entire re-
spiratory tract and brought it to the
University Hospital for further ex-
amination. Meanwhile, Blank was
charged with the murder of his wife.
Dr. A. A. Christman began the ex-
amination to see if there were any
carbon monoxide in the organs.
Evidence of this sort would have
pointed to asphyxiation by smoke.
No traces of monoxide could be found.
The agent of asphyxiation was fin-
ally found by Dr. Emerson. Chloro-
form was found in the brain, liver,
kidney and stomach contents when
he made his examination.
Testimony of Dr. Bugher and Dr
Emerson was introduced into the trial
of Blank on Wednesday. Before that
time Blank had steadfastly clung to
his plea of innocence. When the Uni-
versity faculty members gave their
testimony, however, Blank's alibi soon
broke down, and he made a complete
confession on Thursday. The de-
tails of the confession were in every
way consistent with the findings of
the scientists.

mal expository essays or papers of a
critical or interpretative character,
preferably on related subjects, the
topics being in a broad sense philos-
ophically treated; and the third con-
sists of "a major piece of formal ex-
pository writing in the nature of a
treatise, such as a historical work,
a biography or a piece of formal lit-
erary, aesthetic or philosophic dis-
quisition."
Other fields of creative writing em-
braced in the Hopwood Awards are
dramatic writing, fiction and poetry.
No definite standards or criteria have
been set up for works of fiction and
poetry, it being the spirit of the
Hopwood Awards that "the new, the
unusual and the radicalshall be espe-
cially encouraged."
In the field of drama manuscripts
will be evaluated on the basis of their
"potentiality for production in terms
of contemporary theatre and the
knowledge of stagecraft displayed, the
importance of their ideational (philo-
sophic, ethical) implication and the
literary skill shown in the dialogue
considered as writing for the stage."
The judges and the literary critic
selected to deliver the annual Hop-
wood Lecture on Literature, will be
announced later in the semester, Pro-
fessor Cowden stated.

accounts which are unpaid now are
not subject to the new ruling.

Stirange Apparatus Gives
Each A Number, Tells
Intimate Details
By CLINTON B. CONGER
In the basement of Angell Hall
there stands a battery of machines
working on a principle analogous to
a player piano, which spends its time,
under the direction of Alan D. Mea-
cham, prying into the intimate de-
tails of student life, and also under-
takes a great many other statistical
surveys for the University.
The machines are the units of
the University's sorting and tabulat-
ing station in 220 Angell Hall and
Mr. Meacham is the assistant in
charge of the station.
Like 'G-Men' Equipment
Similar to machines at tke Depart-
ment of Justice headquarters used
by the "G-Men" to sort out men an-
swering to a certain description or
with a certain fingerprint type from
their extensive identification files,
the machines here will, if they are
fed the proper set of cards, tell you
in almost no time the number of
students whose parent's occupation
is listed as blacksmith, the number
of students concentrating ina depart-
ment, or the number of hours of B
granted last semester in the Univer-
sity.
All this information, as a matter of
fact, they can compute from one set
of cards, the general enrollment and
scholarship card for each student,
which is drawn up in the statistical
station from !the registratr's card
each year. In blank, the cards used
by the tabulating machines are about
three and a half inches high by seven
and a half inches wide, and num-
bered so as to be divided transverse-
ly into 12 columns and vertically into
80.
Process Is Long
The surface of the student card is
divided into blanks in which the gen-
eral information of the registrar's
card is typed in. After that the card
is placed in the first machine of
the battery, which has a keyboard
like a typewriter, but punches a small
slit in the card in any column or
row desired.
Thus in the first column of the
card is punched the sex of the stu-
dent, indicated by zero for a man
and one for a co-ed. In the next
eight columns are punched the in-
itials and first six lettters of the
student's name, according to an al-
phabetical code in which each letter
is indicated by two punch-holes, one
in row X, Y, or O, and one in the rows
numbered from one to nine.
The home town is then punched
in according to a code number in
three more columns, allowing desig-
nations from 000 to 999. Other en-
tries on the card, also put in by
code number, show the date of birth,
date on entrance, class, home state
and county, course, and session, as
well as the occupation of parent, to
which four columns, or 9,999 code
numbers, are allotted.
Twenty eight columns are devoted
to grades for each semester, arranged
in such a way that the number of
hours as well as the grade can be
registered, classified in columns from
A to E, I or X, and, totals.
General fraternity, professional
fraternity, and dormitory or residence
are also indicated, as well as the
source and amount of advance credit.
Columns 73 and 74 are two sinister
headings entitled "withdrawal date"
and "withdrawal cause."
And last but not least, confirm-
ing long-standing suspicions, appears
evidence that every student here is
designated by a number as well as
a name, and that number is punched
in the last columns on the card.
The cards, when thus filled out
and punched, can be fed into a sec-
ond machine which will sort them
alphabetically, by "serial number,"
or according to any one item in the
list.
Still another machine will run the
cards through a second time, either
removing, or just counting the num-
ber of cards punched to indicate any
particular item.
At the time the machines were
running through a special fish study
for the Institute of Fisheries of the
University Museums. The cards, after
being put through the machine to
extract from them a particular col-
umn, were fed into the master ma-
chine of the entire outfit, the machine
which takes the cards by groups and
types out a report.
Into this machine, for example,
was fed a set of cards on a fish study
to show the kinds, size, total length,
and number of fish caught, arranged
in groups by columns.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-'0P)--A
Supreme Court order was sent to Los
Angeles authorities today to authorize
service upon Mae West of a suit by
Frank Wallace, an actor, who seeks
to enjoin Miss West from denying
he is her husband or that she is mar-
ried.
The order was signed by Justice
John E. McGeehan.
Wallace stirred a turmoil in the
screen and stage world a year ago by
his assertion he had married Miss
West in Milwaukee.
"I never heard of the guy," was
Miss West's retort.
A marriage license clerk, hunting
around in the records, found a mar-
riage license issued to a Mae West
and a Frank Wallace in 1911, but
Miss West remained firm in her de-
nials she had married.

Do you get hot water ONLY-
after a dash downstairs to light an
old-fashioned water heater?
after waiting for what seems to be
hours for the water to reach the
right temperature?
Or, does your faucet suddenly stop
giving hot vater at a most inopportune
time?
If you get hot water only after much
trouble and inconvenience then investi-
gate automatic GAS watet heating imme-
diately. For equivalent service-the same
quantity of hot water at the same tem-
perature-GAS is the cheapest way for
the average family to heat water.
Enjoy the experience of having all the
hot water you need whenever you want
it. See the THRIFT Heater which en-
ables you to BUDGET your water-heat-
ing costs. You know in advance what the
