DUNDEE WINS 1 ROUND
BOUT FRBOM CRIQ-UI
Polo Grounds, New York, July 26-
(By A.P.)-Johnny Dundee of New
York won the world's featherweight
championship tonight from Eugene
Criqui of France in a slashing 15-
round'battle that kept the crowd that
filled the Polo Grounds in an uproar.
Dundee received the judge's 'decision
from the man who held the title less
than two months.
.Dundee won cleanly taking every
round, but the .crowd was constant-
ly divided between admiration for his
ability and the stoic defense of the
Frenchman who never relinquished
the event and fought back when he
had scarcely strength enough to
stand.
Criqui had taken the title from
Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland in the
same manner.

'WELFAE 9ASOCATION
"POSTERSON DISPLAYI
Adopting as a slogan the A B C
of -health and citizenship, "A Better
Childhood, A Better Community and
A Better Country;" the National Child
Welfare association of New York City
is carrying on a campaign which is
virtually a visual education in mat-
ters of welfare work. In an exhibi-
tion of their work which' is being
shown in the west gallery of the1
Alumn Memorial hall are to be seen
many posters which have aroused
wide interest throughout the country.'
It is an exhibition'which has becomet
a regular feature of the Summer ses-
sion of Columbia university, and next
week is to go to th University of
Chicago.
The posters are done by prominent
artists and are triumphs of their sort.
Such is the merit that Dr. Fouad Bey,
the Turkish diplomat and educatoi'
who spoke here shortly before the
close of the regular term ordered sev-
en hundred of them to take back to
Turkey with him, while other foreign-'
ers have come to the offices in New
York to get them as hints for help-
ing solve their own problems of edu-
cation.
The exhibits will be open to the
public every day from 9 to 5 o'clock
until Friday.
Laborers Ignore National Party

Johnson to the United States senate.
The federation, however, made it clear
that its refusal was not final.

BETHEIIEM COMPANY
TAKES SIMILAR STEP
New York, July 26.-(By A.P.) -
Subsidiaries of the United States Steel
corporation with Chairman Elbert H.
Gary, made a start in their plan to
eliminate the 12 hour day in the indus-
try at a conference behind closed
doors today.
At the same time Eugene G. Grade,
president of the Bethlehem Steel cor-
poration announced that his company
was making progress in formulating
the plans for the discontinuance of
the criticized 12 hour shift and expect-
ed within a very short tome to begin
the actual rearrangement of the work-
ing forces.
Chairman Gary declined to make
any statement other than that the con-
ference would be continued.
The problem involved- according to
officials of the United State Steel cor-
poration and of the independent com-
panies is that of obtaining the addi-
tional workers required to maintain
three shifts of eight hours instead of
two of 12 as at present. With the
steel mills running at about 80 per
cent capacity, the labor problem is a
formidable one.
LLOYD GEORGE F'LAYS,
PINCARE'IS POLICIES
Bristol, England, July 26.-(By A.
P.)--Former Premier Lloyd George
made a fierce attack on M. Poincare,
French premier, in a speech here yes-
terday. He objected to M. Poincare's
habit of making speeches on Sunday,
which, he pointed out, was a day con--
secrated to good will, and hardly a
day to unscrew the cylinders of care-
fully distilled hatred, ill will, sus-
picion' and anger among the nations."
Alluding to negotiations, Mr. Lloyd
George said: "I did not fall out with
M. Poincare, but it was very difficult.
Mr. Bonar Law-also found it quite im-
possible to work with him."
The former premier accused M.
Poincare of "wickedly distorting" his
speeches and expressed the hope Brit-
ish efforts toward peace would not be
converted into "mere fuel for further
devastating and scorching flames
which burn up the peace, prosperity,
progress and happiness' of mankind."

after an absence of several years spent
addressing the students of many of
the public, parochial and other schools
of his native state, Wisconsin.
For 25 years prior to 1920 Jack
spent a month or so each year giving
demonstrations of his remarkable
memory tsunts For five hours Jack
held forth on the campus recently
and was welcomed by a large gather-

Draws Preliminary Plans for Huge
Structure to be Built Across
Harbor.
SPAN OF 1650 FEET WILL
BE LARGEST IN WORLD
During the past three weeks Prof.I
James H. Cissel, associate professor
of structural engineering, has been de-
signing the preliminary plans for a
huge bridge, which is to be built across
the entrance to the Sydney, Australia,
harbor. This bridge, when completed
by the Australian government, will be
tie longest bridge of its type in the
world, having span of 1650 feet, which
exceeds the span of the Hell Gate
arch bridge in New York by 650 feet.
Completed Many Years
The Australian government has been
contemplating kthe erection of ;this
bridge since the year of 1890, but un-
ttil this time has deemed it inexpedi-
ent and unwise because of the enorm-
ous, cost involved. Lately they' have
asked for bids on several types of
bridges, including the cantilever type,
similar to the Quebec bridge, which
has a span of 1800 feet, and the arch
type, like the bridge over Hell Gate.

FERRI"S, APPEALS

SENATOR SAYS MODERN METRO]

SPECIALIZATION
'SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Phi Delta Kappa, Educational i:rati
nity Holds Initiation
Banquet
In a vigorous address before. mc
than two hundred school masters, u
iversity men and students in the b;
room of the Michigan Union at 8
clock last night Senator Woodbrid
N. Ferris made an appeal to mod.
and revise our present standards
higher education.
. Trouble Starts in College
The subject of his address, as t
senator called it, was "Higher Educ
tion as Viewed by a Layman", hims
being the layman. "Education of 1
day," said Senator Ferris, "is hig
ly specialized and standardized. Wh:
this is entirely natural and necessa
there are serious dangers arsi:
from specialization Wjhich we mL
guard .against. The trouble flute
down to the secondary schools, whi
in turn are goverhed by the state u
iversities."
Senator. Ferris claimed that o
secondary sehools are made undem
cratic by the element of time bei:
too standardized, and that we are pi
ting .a premium upon medicrity rat
er than on brains. He would-'encou
age the graduationof any high scnc
student from a regular four yeaj
course in three years if the 1stude
showed the ability. Here he used
an example a Michigan student w
graduated last June, who, after ser
ing overseas during the war, complh
ed his preparatory course at Feri
Institute in eleven months, then car
to Michigan, worked his way throuw
college and finished the four ye
course in three years.
Mania to Get a Degree
Senator Ferris then deplored t
mania of universities and colleges ;
over the country wanting large enro
ments, leading one to believe' t:
"Biggest is Best". This is not t
case stated Mr. Ferris, and he E
pressed the hope that institutions
learning would soon cease to put t
emphasis upon quantity rather th
quality.

Arinceton Physicist Tells How
Science Explains Sun's Heat
Using as his subject, "What Heats
he Sun?" Professor, K. T. Compton,
if the physics department of Prince-
on university who is now conducting
dvanced courses in electron theory
n the University Summer session,
>resented ,some of the more advanced
deas as to what heats the sun and
ow much energy it has given off
ince the beginnings of the universe.
At the outset, Professor Compton
aid that he would have to deal con-
iderably with large figures and math-
matical formulas in a quantitative
nanner, because of the great difficul-
y in presenting his subject to an
udience that they. may grasp a fair
understanding of it.
- Discusses Heat Radiation
He first took up the question of
iow much energy the sun has had- in
he past, and- the means of determin-
ng how rapidly this heat is leaving
Sun Has Lost IEnergy
The questid1 of how much energy
the sun has given off and how much
it still has has been more of a prob-
lem of finding how long life has exist-
ed on this earth. In discussing this
question, Professor Compton told of
several different methods which have
been used to find this out. The old-
est geological strata is the Cumbrian
layer of the ocean beds, on which the,
fossilized forms of living organisms
have been found . It was then nec-
essary to determine how long it took
the rivers of the continents to carry
enough sediment down to the sea to
'deposition to cover strata with sev-
eral layers, and it was finally esti-
mated that it must have taken more
than 100 million years . If the sun
has been giving out heat all of these
years it surely has lost considerable
energy.

Gentlemen, meet Miss Treadway.
And her friend Miss Welch. A charm-
ing pair, eh, what? At least that's
what the bald headed row at the Sum-
mer Spotlight thought last night. Yea,
verily, Treadway and Welch danced
their way into the hearts of their au-
dience and left many a lad with a
thrill in his lonely heart. Nice girls,
too, but we suspect the misses of hit-
ting the 'baccy pouch a little too
hard of late, for it was a winded pair
of demoiselles that wended their way
back to the wings after their act.
Miss Elizabeth Holman, the only
real-to-goodness miss on the program,.
made that same baldheaded row burn
up with her. "I'm just a little grease
spot and grease spots need taking out,"
for if that row had had their way Miss
Holman would be singing yet. No less
favorably received were her other
numbers, all dashing and clever, and
put over with lots of pep and zest.
