Kessler End CompetitionDesire to Replace Fifty Dollars Causes Edna TaylorLost Since Thursday, to Secure Workas DomesticEdna Taylor, 21 year old junior,missing since Thursday, was locatedyesterday afternoon after a continu¬ous day and night search by privatedetectives and the Hyde Park police.She came voluntarily to the HydePark police station with a completestory of the causes of her unaccountedfor absence.Miss Taylor arrived at the stationshortly before 5 yesterday. She toldCapt. McCauley that she had lostfifty dollars sent from hr parentsin the oast, and- in order not to im¬pose upon the hospitality of herfriends with whom she lives at 1154E. 56th St., she decided to earn thelost money herself. Preferring sucha course of action to writing backhome for more money, she got em¬ployment with Mrs. E. M. Robinson,4614 Drexel Blvd., as a domestic,working two hours each night.Lives at Berkely Avenue.She lived temporarily at 4219 Berk¬ley Avenue. She assigned no causefor her absence from the apartmenton E. 56th St. Miss Phyllis Kerr, oneof the friends with whom she livedsaid that the missing student “prob¬ably thought it would be a fine larkto work for a short time”.A letter written home had been heldup at the post office in the loop be¬cause there was no stamp on the en¬velope. This contained full particu¬lars of the affair, and was not givenout at the post office inquiry bureaubecause of the delay of the missingwoman’s brother who left for Chicagoat 5:30 Sunday from Amherst College.A reporter for The Daily Maroonafter an all-day search yesterdayfound Miss Taylor had worn a dif¬ferent dress to work at the Robinsonhome every night. He also found,not a batik lined, scented, Bohemianstudio, as described in loop journals,but rather the unassuming and per¬fectly normal residence of three youngwomen, two of whom were studentshere.The reporter, among the first of ahost of scribes to see Miss Taylorupon her return, discovered the reasonwhy she had not come immediatelyout of hiding when she saw her storyfeatured in all the papers.“This morning,” explained MissTaylor, “I was hungry and down tomy last nickle. 1 flipped the coin tosee whether I'd buy a newspaper ora sup of coffee. The paper won, butanyway 1 bought th coffee instead.Sickness Assigned as Cause.Early in the afternon yesterday itwas thought by Phyllis Kerr, and Hel¬ena Kern, Miss Taylor’s roommatesthat sickness and general depressionmight have caused her to become mor¬bid. She is said to be interested inpsycho-analysis and sociological stu¬dies- and liked “to do things out ofthe ordinary.” This was probablythe reason for her “lark”, it was an¬nounced.Numerous theories were advancedyesterday. These included possibilitiesof an unhappy home life, a blightedlove affair. These were all dispelled,however before Miss Taylor made herappearance at the Hyde Park policestation. “She is really quite a beau¬tiful,” said Miss Phyllis Kerr, “andof course quite a number of admirers.I don’t belive that she preferred oneto another.”Says She Was Contented.Miss Taylor’s father said: “Her let-continued on page 5)TWELVE FRESHMANARE AWARDED “1925”BASKET NUMERALS 180 DEGREES TO BEGRANTED AT SPRINGCONVOCATION TODAY With Two Firsts anda SecondSCHNEIDENBACH VARSITY STARPresident Walter Dill Scott ofNorthwestern to DeliverAddressThe University will confer 180 de¬grees at the Spring Convocation todayat 4 in Mandel hall, according to thelatest statement sent out from theOffice of the President.

For the third time in three suc¬cessive yars the Maroon gymnasticsteam walked away with the Confer¬ence championship in the meet heldlast week-end at Madison. As wasexpected the Badgers pushed the Var¬sity the closest for the honors- but theycould not come through at the finishand as a result went down in defeat.Chicago’s point total was 1117.25,while that of Wisconsin was 1071.25and that of Minnesota 1016.Coach Hoffer’s well balanced teamwon two firsts, two seconds and twothirds, and in addition gatheredenough points to win easily. Many ofthese extra points were won by newmen on the team and their work isespecially deserving of mention.

Theoriginal plan was to hold the electionat a special Council meeting yesterdaywas not carried out due to a desireon the part of Council members togive the matter longer consideration.When the Council meets April 4. anumber of matters will be on the cal-under for action. Members of thecommittee on the revision of electionrules, appointed at the last meeting,will be in a position to make a de¬tailed report and drastic changes inthe code of balloting rules is expec¬ted.Inaugurate Student Mixers.All-University mixers to be heldmonthly in Bartlett gymnasium arealso a part of the Council’s Springprogram. Such dances were plannedlate this quarter, but with the excep¬tion of the Wisconsin game, none wereheld. Mixers of the type plannedwere held several years ago with de¬cided success.Whether or not an All-Universitycircus will be held this year or notwill also be determined by the Councilearly in the quarter. Discussion ofthe subject took a considerable partof the last meeting. It is possiblethat the circus may be staged in con¬nection with the anuual Interscholas¬tic as an added attraction for thevisiting high school athletes. Similarcircuses are held in other Big Tenschools at corresponding times.Name Settlement Night Head.Further appointments to be madelater in the quarter by the Council arejoint-chairman and assistants for the1922 Settlement Night an dleaders ofthe Inter-class Hop, the final socialfling of the Spring quarter. The poli¬cy of naming Settlement Night chair¬men before the end of the Springquarter was adopted last year and metwith very good results in the stag¬ing of the recent charity carnival.The second meeting of the quarterwill probably be devoted to an opensession in keeping with the Council’spolicy of a monthly meeting for un¬dergraduates and faculty members.RUTH SEYMOUR ISELECTED NEW HEAD ;OF Y.

PROF. STIEGLITZDESCRIBES NEWSCIENCE FACTSWrites Special Article forDaily Maroon on RecentDiscoveriesDISCUSSES WORK OF WENDTBy Prof. Julius StieglitzDepartment of ChemistryOver a hundred years ago the Eng¬lish Chemist Prout (1814) proposedthe theory that all of the so-calledchemical elements are composed of asingle element, hydrogen, contained invarying amounts in the atoms of theelements. The theory was not ac¬cepted because of conclusive evidencethat the atomic weights are not wholemultiples of the atomic weight of hy¬drogen.Nevertheless many chemists weremorally convinced that there couldnot be some 80 or 90 odd ultimateforms of matter, real indestructible,non-decomposable “elements”. Thisfaith was greatly strengthened by thePeriodic Law of Mendelceff, LotharMayer, and Newlands, which broughtout the fact that the properties of theelements are (periodic) functions oftheir atomic weights.First Discovery in 1897.The first decomposition of an ele¬ment, confirming this philosophic viewpoint was observed in the case of rad¬ium in 1897. The decomposition takesplace spontaneously, the unstableheavy atoms of radium (weight 226)“exploding” leaving the formation ofhelium (Atomic weight 4, first dis¬covered on the sun by Crookes withthe aid of the spectroscope), and ofother newly born atoms of previouslyunknown and rather unstable ele¬ments. The radium is finally “de¬graded” by the loss of electrons andof helium to lead (atomic weight 207).This beautiful discovery was hailedwith enthusiasm as lifting the veilmasking the secrets of atomic struc¬ture, which Prout had anticipated al¬most a hundred years earlier.In the interval since 1897 the brill¬iant work of many physicts and chem¬ists has succeeded in giving us a clearpicture of the structure of the atoms,as minute constellations of electrons(negative electricity) and protrons(positive electricity), the two funda¬mental ’forms of matter which areused to build up all elements. Oneprotron and one electron makes up ahydrogen atom, four of each producea helium atom. This, with the lossof two electrons forms a stable con¬stellation which appears to he themost widely used combination of pro¬trons and electrons used as buildingblocks in the structure of atoms.Method Devised by Rutherford.In view of the composite structureof elements it is no longer surprisingbut a matter of satisfaction to learnof their decomposition by variousmethods of attack. All the earlierobservations were restricted to thespontaneous decomposition of unstableelements such as radium, uranium,, thorium, etc. and the earlier effortsof scientific men to break down theseconstellations of protrons and elec¬trons were failures.Continued on page 7.)MILKthe best of food and drinkPure, pasteurized milk contains ele¬ments without which the body can¬not live and develop.These elements are found in no otherfoods in sufficient quantity.Milk is the accepted perfect food asit satisfies the cravings of hunger andthe need for body rebuilding elements.Milk is the perfect drink, combiningthirst quenching qualities with a rich,delicious flavor.Drink milk frequently and with de¬liberation.

TUESDAY, MARCH 21. 1922 3LITERARY LEADERSTHE LATEST BOOKS REVIEWEDByJohn GuntherBENNETT’S NEW NOVELHere is the first novel in some timewhich I, for one, have honestly andthoroughly liked. “Memoirs of aMidget’’ is hardly a wholly likeablenovel—there is something slightlymorbid about it. “Maria Chapde-laine”, for all its beauty, is depress¬ing. “Cytherea” and “The Beautifuland Damned”, surely, for all the goodf.tuff in them, would hardly fit as cher¬ished companions. One hesitates tolike thoroughly even Huxleys “GhomeYellow”. But beyond all doubt MR.PROHAK (Doran), Arnold Bennett’sfirst novel in three years, is a bookfrankly and thoroughly to enjoy.In this novel Bennett combines pret¬ty thoroughly his two chief habits ofmind. In “Mr. Prohak” he is bothbouyantly comic and quite heavilyserious. On one side the book has allthe steady meticulous realism of “TheOld Wives’ Tale”; on the other, all thehumor of “Buried Alive”. It treatsof a fundamentally comic situation ina fundamentally serious manner.Mr. Prohack is a treasury officialwith a large family, multitudinous ex¬penses, and a hopelessly fixed income.Once it had been plenty; what withthe h. c. 1. and all, it becomes des¬perately insufficient. And then—Mr.Prohack becomes the sudden possesorof some half million dollars. Whathappens? There is your story. Suf¬fice it to say that in the end Mr. Pro¬hack decides that every man must beeconomic and productive, and he goesto work—for his son.“Mr. Prohack”, perhaps, is too long.Perhaps it lacks inner vitality. Butalmost beyond doubt any reader willfind in it a great deal of shrewdquizzical humor, a firmly realizedcharacter in Mr. Prohack, continualoutcroppings of chacteristic Bennettirony—and a good story.THE MODERN LIBRARYThe new additions to the ModernLibrary, that most excellent series ofcontemporary classics, are WINES-Bl’RGi OHIO, Sherwood Anderson’sbitter and utterly truthful book ofsmall town sketches; CONTEMPOR¬ARY SCIENCE, edited by Dr. Ben¬jamin Harrow, a collection of authori¬tative papers on aspects of modernscience; a condensation of PEPY’SDIARY by Richard LeGallienne; anda collection of some of StephenCrane’s peculiar genius for discover¬ing beauty in the most sordid circum¬stances. Another edition to the series,unfortunately deferred in publication, will be Anatole France’s superb “Signof the Heine Pedauque”, with an in¬troduction by James Branch Cabell—which should be a arre treat. ThisModern Library, surely, is a culturalinfluence of the first rank. What adazzling array of titles! If only thepublishers could be persuaded to makethe books of physically better ap¬pearance—even if they were forced toraise the price. As it is—but whypreach?MAY AND HARRIETTMay Sinclair’s new novel is only140 pages long and is called LIFEAND DEATH OF H A R RIE T TFREAN (Macmillan). And in 140pages Miss Sinclair attempts the storyof a whole life, from birth to death,from the age of two to the age of 70.As a result the “novel” cannot butseem sketchy; it reads almost like :isynopsis; it has, in the unpleasantword; no guts. Nevertheless purelyas a feat of technique “HarriettFrean” is admirable. The charactersare sharply done; Harriett herself isa moving and pathetic figure; therare innumerable subtle anil effectiveundertones and overtones. But thebook stands mainly as a technicalstunt. And there can be no doubt thatMiss Sinclair, as a technician, is daz¬zling:A NEW SHAKESPEAREIn reviewing SOUR GRAPES (FourSeas), by William Carlos Williams, Tfear that if 1 say anything at all 1shall become violent.

Herge-sheimer, of course, is infinitely morefinished an artist than young Fitzger¬ald; his hook has the sheen and polishof something beautifully fashioned;nevertheless Fitzgerald has done anovel by no means to lie scorned. “ I heBeautiful and Damned” is brilliant,vibrant with life, and , I think, abso¬lutely honest. The trouble with it isfairly the author’s youth and inex¬perience: his story runs away fromhin and he can’t manage irony. Butwr4e a very remarkable novel indeed. some day Scott Fitzgerald shouldAnother excellent book is HerbertQuick’s “Vandemark’s Folloy”, re¬viewed a couple of weeks ago in thesepages. This novel is the furtherestpossible cry from the Fitzgerald Her-gesheimer milieu—a historical novelof the old pattern, told in the firstperson, describing the life and adven¬tures of a Dutch settler in Iowa whogrows up with his township and even¬tually reaches material success. Thetheme of this book might almost hecalled noble: a theme indigenouslyAmerican and of real interest andsignificance. “Vandemark’s Folly”might easily have been both an im¬portant work of art and a historicaldocument of positive vaiue.

Various branches of jour¬nalism will be taken up and describedby specialists who are authorities intheir fields.The Daily Maroon wants as manystudents and faculty as can crowdHarper Assembly room to attend eachand every one of these talks.

TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 1922MR. GUNTHER LOOKS INA Review of the Article on the Uni¬versity of Chicago in “The SmartSet”By Bartlett CormackA series called “The Higher Learn¬ing in America” is appearing in “TheSmart Set”. It exhibits our univer¬sities as their young writing men seethem, and it is of course to the ad¬vantage of the magazine that theauthors see their subjects in negligee.It is even fashionable nowadays fornegligee to parade as Truth. Yet evenpajamas hide much. Was it Solomonwho remarked that a half-exposurewas more irritating and worse thannone ?Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Columbia,and Michigan have already been dis¬sected and disposed of in “The SmartSet”. The current operation is onthe University of Chicago. John Gun¬ther performed, it with a trowel.“Vigor and brilliance and uncon¬ventionality—and a little vulgarity” isthe way that Mr. Gunther sums upthe University. Its spirit was typifiedto him when, as an S. A. T. C. fresh¬man, he heard a speech “like a bombin a tea-cup” in chapel. A memberof the faculty was addressing the“awed and humble” freshman, and inspeaking of the boys who necessarilywere out of uniform he “raises hisvoice for the last sentence, slams hisfist on the big Bible on the pulpit,and yells—yes, yells—‘By God, boysand girls, it’s going to be hell-1-1-1-for them!’ ”. . . .So Mr. Gunther sets his tone—vigor,brilliance, unconventionality, and vul¬garity.An excellent review of the historyof the University follows. It revives,for the undergraduates at least, thefigure of President Harper, a greatman, and tells how his program for auniversity “like no other ever wit¬nessed by the eyes of man” was car¬ried out.“Harper’s program was greetedwith ridicule; the University was con¬sidered a joke fittingly comparable to,say, Mr. Bryan. One wag dubbedChicago ‘Harper’s Bazaar’, Therewere loud howls of a University‘trust’.” When “a professor at a rivalinstitution was a<ked the reason forthe absence of a comic monthly atChicago” he repled that “there wasno need for one; Chicago, he said,was funny enough in itself.”The four quarter system stirs upconvocations with such rapidity that“many officials seem to do little be¬yond putting on their caps and gownsand taking them off again”. Therewas a chance for development here,but Mr. Gunther ha< his. eye on adiploma. Except for “a few malig¬nant eyesores”, he likes our Gothic,but now and then suspects “such anextraordinarily business-like and vi¬gorous institution” to need “a Loopskyscraper” instead of conventionalbuildings. Beauty and Poetry Mr.Gunther has met about the campus,too, and his aesthetic sensibilities arechilled by the fact that “the mostbeautiful building on the campus” isused as a cafeteria. he-vamp and brush their hair. Andit is in its treatment of undergradu¬ate life that the article falls flat. Itsauthor had a chance to delve deeplyand point out a thing or two. He wascontent with being smart, and beingclever is very easy, indeed. It savesone the trouble of thought.Approach to the undergraduates jis made via the basement and back-1stairs. It is here that Mr. Guntheris consciously Menckenian. He goesat the job as if he were blowing hisnose.Being a non-fraternity man, hehandles the Greeks carefully and withgloves. I am a fraternity man, and1 know that fraternities are plenty ofthe things he says they are not.Marshals and aides are usuallychosen “with excruciatingly bad judg¬ment by the faculty”, when the Rey¬nolds club asked its members for sug¬gestions as to books for its library“The Shiek led all the rest” closelyfollowed by Wright, Chambers, andcompany”, the influences affecting theUniversity have resulted in a “lackof tradition and college spirit”, andwhat rites are present are “puny”.There is a “general lack of spirit andenthusiasm and student intimacy”This, of course, is not wholly true.When Mr. Gunther deals with thegirl’s clubs, he is bad. In one sentencehe generalizes crudely. The wholeexhibits the superficiality that charac¬terized the section on the men. 1wish he had taken the trouble to un¬derstand, as well as to see for thereis much wrong with undergraduatelife here, much that is petty and snob¬bish and warped. But it is not thedrinks and cigarettes, the rouge andnom d’amours, the grease for the hair,or the Entertainers.The University itself—1 mean its 1administration, departments, etc.—ishardly touched upon, and in passingthese things by the article observeddiplomacy, but lost opportunity forsome of the strokes that I, for one,hoped that Mr. Gunther would employ.Naturally, space is given to the Eng¬lish department, but some of us whohave spent practically all our collegelife in that department have an ideathat, except for its three or foursuperior teachers, the English depart¬ment is lacking in almost everythingfor which other departments arefamed.

It gives apicture, and a picture that seems tome faithful and just. However, Mr.Gunther unluckily can never forgetthat he has been advertised as “asecond Mencken”, and so you find“the Baptist taint was lost early”without discovering just why it wasa taint; “the chapel service is quiteharmless, consisting of a hymn, aprayer, and an inocuous speech bysome divine”; “there is a regrettableeffort on the part of the authoritiesto make the University properly agedand decrepit, and hence respectable”;“on a Saturday night dozens of promi¬nent campus men, often includingmembers of the football team, theHonor Commission, and the Board ofthe Y. M. C. A., may be seen at En¬tertainers, Ike Bloom’s, or Tearney’s“pursuing highly interesting coursesof study.”This last quote is evidence of Mr.Gunther’s naughty manner, and leadshim into a “discussion of undergradu¬ate life” which spoils its author witha little of the vulgarity that he foundin chapel at the start of his freshmanyear. What he says is, generally, trueenough, but what of it ? It is not *because he is a collegian that a mantakes a drink, smokes a cigarette, andpots a girl, or because she is a “co-ed”(the word is John’s) that a girl rougesand so forth, ft is because he is aman and she is a girl.

Well, agreat career it was; and the book inwhich Mr. Stone sets it down, FIFTYYEARS A JOURNALIST (Double-day), does it justice.Let it be said first of all that thishistorical document is good reading— fascinating reading. Stone was in¬timately connected with practicallyeverything of importance which hap-Mr. Mencken of Baltimore, buccan¬eer extraordinary of American letters,enters the arena this week with noj pened in the United States from 1870fewer than three books under his I to 1800; from 1890 to 1918 he \\a.-arm, one of them big enough to count! intimately connected with practicallyfor several.

Here’s lessonone in my correspondence schoolcourse in how to get by huge whenthe jazz orchestra (student) strikesup “The Sheik”.1. Take a firm stance, as in golf,with the feet far enough apart foraction.2. Assume that you have a pairof tight rubbers on, and go throughthe motions of removing them with¬out the use of hands.3. Take careful aim, and try to hitthe partner’s left toe with your rightheel. If you miss, swear twice, hittwo couples, and try with the oppositefoot.4. As the music stops, take a goodfirm hold, and keep this position untilit is necessary to send for the pul-motor.
