The toll by states, compiled un- officially by the Associated Press, showed: Oklahoma 8, Texas 7, Minnesota 5, Nebraska 4, Kansas 3, Missouri 2 and Illinois and Iowa 1 each. Temperatures sireaked past the century mark over a widening area. Maxima yesterday were up to 109. Today was as hot. Thousands swarmed to parks and yards tonight - seeking sleep on benches, blankets and cots. Swimming pools were jammed., Np Relief In Sight No relief was seen by A. M.

Scattered thunder- showers might bring temporary re- spite here and there, he said, but the area responsible for the heat showed no inclination to move on. In addition to those stricken by heat, many drowned seeking relief in streams and ponds.

Warrick, Jr., son of a Flint department store owner, admitted in common pleas court Wednesday that he had had his arms around a girl 20 minutes after he had met her. Warrick is asking a divorce from a former Rocky River waitress who demands alimony and custody of their year-old child. While Warrick was on the witness ML Non- Xplosive Solid Gasoline Used In En ine Is Discovered After Eight Years Research For Safe stand an attorney for Mrs. Warrick showed a picture of Warrick with his arms around a girl, not Mrs. War- rick. "How long had you known that girl?" the attorney asked. "About 20 minutes -long enough to get my arm around her," the thir- ty-year-old husband answered. "It doesn't take you long, does it?" ",No, sir."' .Wartri ttrather trsband is worth $500,000, but he showed an appraiser's figures setting the value of his Flint property at $122,000.

Curtis, chairman of the astronomy department and direc- tor of the University Observatory, yes- terday delivered an illustrated lecture, the tenth of the Summer Session lec- tures, in the Natural Science Audi- torium. The one telescope in the world cap- able of celestial photography by the motion picture method is owned by the University of Michigan and sta- tioned at its divisional astronomy camp at Lake Angelus, about two and one-half miles north of Pontiac. The fully-equipped observatory was pre- sented to the University by its build- ers and inventors, Mr. McMath and Mr. Hulbert. The motion picture method, as ex- plained by Professor Curtis, requires that films of the speedily-moving but far-away object be taken at definite time intervals and then incorporated into motion pictures so that each film occupies one sixteenth of a second, the regular motion picture rate. The films he displayed proved the results of this invention; that the observer visualizes celestial bodies as moving objects in contrast to stationary bod- ies, one of the principal objectives of astronomers. "Astronomy is not fixed," he said. "It is the study of tremendous, mov- ing masses. Text pictures leave a sta- ti oflajnressi gn inewin tho leaves the impression e mcees tial bodies are ever moving. Move- ments that actually take six or eight hours can be compressed into a few minutes of motion picture photog- raphy." Prof. Curtis suggested that the sci- entific advancements brought about by this invention might be even greater than the educational advance- ments. The principal scientific develop- ment of the invention is the device which keeps the camera's eye on the ever-moving celestial body. Professor Curtis displayed motion pictures of several astronomical bod- ies. Jupiter and Saturn, although photographed, remain unclear be- cause of their queer typography. Eclipses, particularly difficult to ob- tain in motion-picture form, because the totality of time they have existed since the creation of the world has been only 61 minutes, were shown with remarkable clarity. These pic- tures were obtained by a staff of Uni- versity astronomers during the eclipse last fall. This new method has been respon- sible for the first photographical rec- ord of sun spots(taken with the spectroheliokinematogiaph), and the first record of solar bombs, a group of clouds rapidly projected from a celestial body.

The score was 12-11. The idle Yankees gained a half- game as a result of the defeat. Rain postpond New York's scheduled game with the Cleveland Indians. Washington practically put the game on ice in the first inning with a seven-run barrage that drove Tom- my Bridges to the showers. Joe Sul- livan, who releived him, had no con- trol and proved equally ineffective. After two doubles, a pair of singles, and an error had let in five Senator runs, Sullivan came to the mound to let in two more on a single and four consecutive walks. Behind a good lead, which was built up to 12 to 6 by the time the ninth inning rolled around, Whitehill pitched satisfactory ball. ,Then Gehringer slammed a home run over the right field wall, Green- berg followed with a double against the bleachers, and Goslin and Rogell singled. Then Bucky Harris yanked Whitehill, and sent Ed Linke to the hill. Linke pitched to only one man- Cochrane -whom he walked, and Harris sent Buck Newsom to the mound.

"I realize that this is the most hor- rible crime that has ever been Ynown," said the note. "While I am positive it was not me that did it but the other side of my life, I would like to dedicate my body to science."

Mrs. Waley Is 'Thought Active In Kidnapping Kidnapper's Wife Made To Seem Conscious Helper By Evidence : DR. WALTER B. PILLSBURY Pillsbury Will Be Speaker In Lecture Series 'Bodily Types And Mental Characteristics' To Be Subject Of Talk Prof. Walter B. Pllsbury, head of the University psychology department will deliver the eleventh regular lec- 'tid-'bof the -Suihmbr Session lttare series at 5 p.m. today in Natural Science Auditorium. His subject will be "Bodily Types and Mental Characteristics." One of the most popular lecturers on th ecampus, Professor's Pillsbury course during the regular term in the Psychology of the Occult and Ab- normal has always been well-attend- ed by the undergraduates. Professor Pillsbury started his teaching of psychology in 1895 at Cornell University, from which he had received his doctor's degre in 1892. He was appointed director of the psy- chological laboratory there in 1905 and became a professor in 1910. He has been chairman of the psy- chology department here since 1929. In 1917 he was named chairman of the editorial committee which put out "Studies in Psychology." Professor Pillsbury was elected president of the American Psychol- ogical Association in 1910, and was also a member of the National Re- search Council from 1921 to 1931. Among the books which he has written are "Psychology of Reason- ing,"' "Essentials of Psychology," "Fundamentals of Psychology," "Psy- chology of Nationality and Interna- tionalism," "Education as the Psy- chologist Sees It;" "Psychology of Language," "History of Psychology," "An Elementary Psychology of the Abnormal," and "Introduction to Philosophy." By EDWARD LAUTH The conventional educational sys- tem is out of touch with 'life, and changing conditions the world over are presenting a challenge to the schools which must be met. These two conclusions are among the many that were brought out at the first sessions of the Sixth Annual Summer Educational Conference which opened yesterday at the Union. The first meetings were marked by an overflow crowd and an animated discussion followed some proposed re- forms in education made by Prof. James K. Pollock of the political sci- ence department. Dean James B. Edmonson of the School of Education opened the con- ference which has for its general topic "American Education in the Future - A Series of Predictions." Dr. S. A. Courtis gave the keynote address in his talk on "The problem of Redi- recting Education as a Progressive Sees It." Was On Advisory Board Dr. Courtis, who has served on the advisory board of the Progressive Association, in his interpretation of the progressive movement stated that "the conventional educational system is hopelessly out of touch with life." - -h&cfrant'e-d tIle world today, such as the disappear- ance of frontiers, the development of science, the evolution of the machine, the specialization of the individual, and the increasing importance of pos- sessive rewards in our scheme of life present a challenge to the schools. In order to properly and adequately meet their obligation the schools must conserve and develop the individuality of the student as a social being, de- velop him into a problem solver in- stead of merely asking him to mem- orize certain things, and to help him interpret world experiences in terms of human problems. Ability or Teachers Important Dr. Raleigh Schorling, who fol- lowed Dr. Courtis and had for his topic "Trends in the Professional Preparation of Secondary School Teachers," prefaced his talk with the statement that any changes made in education will depend upon the ability and training of teachers. Dr. Schorling urged a more thor- ough preparation of teachers and in- dicated several lines it should fol- low. The scope of training of a pro- fessional teacher was outlined to in- clude a comprehensive and wide knowledge of subject matter, training in the philosophy and history of edu- cation and in educational research, training in case work of a mental hy- gienist and social worker, and wide experience in directed or practice teaching. Speaking on this last point, Dr. Schorling advocated that a period of interneship under the guidance of an experienced teacher be applied in a few centers. A period of discussion, held after the close of the two talks of the morning, was led by Dr. Wm. Clark Trow of the School of Education. Pollock Opens Discussion Dr. Pollock, professor of political science, was the first speaker at the afternoon session. His topic was "A Governmental Approach to School Administration,''and it was one of his suggestions for change in school gov- ernment which evoked the discussion which marked the afternoon session. Speaking of necessary fundamental changes in the structure of our school government, Dr. Schorling stated that, "the idea of having separate boards of education for the schools is wrong, outmoded, and should be eliminated." He proposed that, because of the lack of interest on the part of voters in school elections and the "devastat- ing results" therefrom, the school n.a nm eii,,i .,hrnimianya alim4-maaAA TACOMA, Wash., July 10. -- (P) - Evidence designed to picture Mrs. Margaret Waley as an active partici- pant in the $200,000 kidnaping of" George Weyerhaueser was brought Moscow Will Be into her trial by the government to- day.
