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. REEVES TO L.EAD EASTERNMEETING Will Preside at One Session of Third Annual Indlitue of Politics A " W OF THE A ItR" TO BE S BJECT UNDER ISCUSSION Prof. Jesse S. Reeves, of the polit- ical science department, will head a round table discussion on the "Law of the Air," at the third annual ses- sion of the Institute of Politics which opens this morning at Williamston, Mass. The session is held for the purpose of discussing world political problems at which prominent figures in the leg- al world participate. Some of the oth- er members of the conference include Boris A. Bakhmeteff, former Russian ambassador to the United States, Prof. William McDougall, of Harvard uni-' veristy, and Prof. William Westerman,' of Cornell university. , Phillip Kerr, a former secretary to Lloyd George will be the British lec- turer, speaking on "The British Com- monwealth . of National and Interna- tinal Problems." Germany will be1 represented for the first time by Count Ilarry Kessler, of Berlin, who will1 speak on "France, Her Allies and Her1 Neighbors."1 '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 Detroit, July 26-(By.A.

S. Steel Cor- poration Officials Behind Closed Doors 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." "Railroad Jack" Back In Town Railroad Jack, the ma'n with the ex- traordinary memory in regard to dates and events concerning the lives of men and women in history is among us 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- ing from the student body. 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.

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. (Continued on Page Four) 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.

Bishop, librarian of the general library, will lecture this eve- ning at 8 o'clock in the auditorium of tme Natural Science building on "Books and Manuscripts of the Fifteenth Cen- tury." This lecture will be illustrated with a number of slides showing some beautifully hand-printed and illustrat- ed manuscripts., cia, wiere he purchased a number of rare books for the general ibrar.: (By Nathan M. Davis) 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. Parnell in "Relealse" Ed Parnell as Bull O'Malley, in the one-act play, "Release," put the fear of something or other in the audience,. we haven't figured out what just yet. 'Release" is the kind of a play that although slow moving in spots, keeps you on the edge of your seat through- out, so that at the final curtain you feel something lige a washed out dish rag.

But Treadway and.Welch were r leased after "Release" and they chas away the gloom, Welch developi bodice tfouble in so doing and embm assing the front row. Paul Wilson and Carl Weinm were billed as cornetists, but it d not take them long to show us thl they were pretty well adept at abo every other means of making music noises.
