Wis., wherethey camped for two weeks. Dr. Tittlewas the principal and most popularspeaker of the conference. Chicago,Northwestern, Minnesota. Wsiconsinand Illinois were the main universitiesrepresented. The women camped fortwo weeks at the Y. W. C. A. camp.Dr Tittle has planned this affair toreacquaint the women, who attendedthe conference .with one another andto discuss the work of the conference. A far cry from the pholosophy ofLeucippus, Democritus and Epicuruswho first suggested that in the atomwas to be found the origin of all things,is the intensely refined phoography ofatomic collision which is being carriedon in the Kent Laboratories by Prof.William I). Harkins. Much interestand newspaper publiicty has lieenaroused recently i nthe findings follow¬ing his paper delivered at the Decembermeeting of the American Associationfor the Advancement of Science.The action of the Zeta ray, so recentlydiscovered that few scientists are fa¬miliar with it, has lieen photographednearly 40,000 times by Prof. Harkins inan effort to detect the disintegration ofhelium atoms. Prof. Harkins believesthat with present knowledge and in¬struments, the possibility is not remoteof the discovery of a practicable methodfor releasing the energy of the atom,the dream for simplifying productionof power.“If one pound of hydrogen, costingone cent or less, were to be convertedinto helium, the amount of energy givenoff should he, according to the theoryof relativity, equal to that given by theburning of ten thousand tons of coal,enough energy to drive a battleshiparound the world or to heat a house ofsix rooms for a thousand years,” saidProf. Harkins.The value of the photography of theatom, aeording to Prof. Harkins, is thatit reveals the disintgfa'tion of theradio-active substances which in so do¬ing give off helium. The stability ofatoms, one of the most fundamentalproblems of nature, has been studied atKent for a decade. The principle hadbeen discovered but photography enor¬mously broadened opportunity for de¬velopment of knowledge in this direc¬tion.MRS. FLINT URGESWOMEN TO READMORE LITERATUREShows Significance of BooksAs Means to Under¬standing of Life“Literature is a means of life andnot a certificate of culture” was thecentral idea about which revolved thediscussion of “Books” at the regularopen council meeting of Federationheld last night at Ida Noyes hall.Mrs. Edith Foster F'int, in openingthe discussion, presented her ideas o?the significance of hooks, their pur¬pose, the way in which they shouldhe read, and their place in undergrad¬uate life at the University. “Readingshould be considered not as merely achore and a means of information."she said, “but as a recreation and amedium through which a fuller comprehension of life may be gained.(Continued on page 2)Bok Plan Subjectof Vespers TalkA national phase to the proposeddiscussion of the Bok Peace Plan wasadded yesterday when it was foundthat the national Y. W. C.

As soon as the records areout they will be placed on sale to stu¬dents at the bookstore. The project isbeing backed by the Undergraduatecouncil. Profesional artists will makethe record which will contain all foursongs.(Continued on page 2)“ALLEY” IS SCENEOF FIRST ACT OFPORTFOLIO SHOWCat Costumes to be CopiedFrom BallefFs “Chauve-Souris” After puzzling for centuries over thequeer behavior of a certain star, astron¬omers have suddenly stumbled upon theexplanation; and it is a surprisinglyeasy one. There are two stars insteadof one.Almost with the naked eye one cantell that the star Sira is double; yetscientists have taken hundreds of yearsto notice it. Even men who specializein the study of double stars have poredover the odd habits of this body; butnot till recently did it occur to themthat Sira was double, and that such wasthe explanation of their problem. Mem-1 hers of the Department of Astronomyhave l>een in consternation since thediscovery, unable to explain why soobvious a fact has escaped notice in thepast.Here is the difficulty :Somestimes Sira is dim; sometimesshe is fairly bright. Other stars, to besure, change in brightness from year toyear; but their changes are due to cool¬ing or to explosions on their surfaces,and are quite irregular. Sira’s fluctua¬tions was so regular that it could bepredicted in advance.The answer is believed to be this:Sira is not one star; it is a pair. Thetwo Siras revolve about each other, insuch a way that at regular intervalsone is partly behind the other. At thesetimes less surface is presented to ourview, and hence the combined light isdimmer.Portfolio’s settings and costume com¬mittee composed of Elizabeth Hyman. |Janette Hash and Allan Albert, has!submitted its complete plan for the!three acts of “Ragamuffin Road.” This |plan was accepted by the productionstaff at its meeing yesterday, accordingto Weir Mallory, general chairman.The first act will be laid in an alley.Old-fashioned street lamps, curbstoneremains, and tumble-down houses, willhe arranged to give the proper ‘“alleyatmosphere."Settings Highly ImaginativeIn the second act, which is to he thescene of an out-door musical produc¬tion of a college campus, the maintheme, a large gate, will be set beforea background of deep color, as stated byEdith Heal, author of the play, and thetone of the setting will be highly imag¬inative, rather than realistic, andworked out with deep coloring andshadows.The cat costumes in a recent program jof Balleff’s Chauve-Souris of Moscowhave been chosen as models by whichthe cat costumes of two of the leadswill be planned. Other costumes willtypify certain college characters, suchas college freshmen, fraternity men,shingle hobs, college papers, and books.The music to “Ragamuffin Blues” hasbeen composed by Betty Williams, andis expected by the executive authoritiesto he the song hit of the show.

M. C. A. Itwill also make for better efficiency tohave the president in office during twoquarters of his junior and finish afterthe first period of his last year at col¬lege, he said.The balloting was not heavy and theincrease in membership this year didnot materially affect the number ofvotes cast.Thomas Mulroy is in charge of theinaugural banquet, to he held on Fri¬day, and tickets may he purchased tromhim by any Y.

The date ofdistribution of the copies, which havenot been received yet, will be announcedin a later issue of the Maroon..Edward Bok, donor of the famouspeace plan prize, gave out yesterdaysome of his own ideas as to the inter¬national questions that would arise withthe entrance of the United States uponany peace plan. According to Mr. Bok:“The danger of America in the leagueis now really that it is a power lovingand power seeking country. It is thatas yet it has no international mind.”Bok’s contest has roused public opin¬ion in this country, and has broughtmany questions to peoples’ minds as tothe real meaning of the league and espe¬cially it has brought out the one ques¬tion, “Will it work?” If it will notwork he argues that there must cer¬tainly he some plan that will take itsplace. It was as an outcome of thisthat he published his terms for a peaceplan contest. The contest has been de¬cided and copies of the prize winningplan are obtainable.BOX OFFICE OPENFraternities wishing to reservesections for either performance of“The Truth About Blayds,” to begiven Feb. 1 and 2 in Mandel hall,may do so this week, as the publicticket sale will not open until nextMonday.

Poliak and Op-penheim. We believe that the 1924show has some of the cleverest lines,the funniest situations and the most at¬tractive lyrics of any amateur showwithin our time. The new productioncalls for brilliant repartee that manyprofessional shows would be readyand willing to include in their program.The plot is old. But what of it?There are only about a dozen originalsituations which the playwright maydraw from sympathy.The show will be the best yet. Thereis always one exception—granted.The Naughty Nineties.GO TO SUPPER AT THE “Y”Commendation is due the Y. M.C .A. for the program of Sunday nightsuppers which are open to fraternityand non-fraternity men. Fraternitymen should patronize the affairs if forno other reason than to have some¬where to go for supper. (Most of thehouses, we understand, do not servethis meal). But the Y. M. affairs servea more complete purpose than this.They will get the men from the variousGreek crowds together—and thisshould be encouraged at all times; andthey w’ill help to get fraternity andnon-fraternity men acquainted.We urge that both groups get backof the Y. M. C A. in this new venture.EDUCATIONWhether or not plan Number 1489of the Bok Peace award will adequatelyprovide for national and internationaltranquility is a question that studentvoters will be unable to decide. Thecomplexity of the problem of worldpeace, the historical thought back¬ground required for appreciative un¬derstanding of the situation are fac¬tors which prohibit immediate decision,and which render the contribution it¬self almost worthless.The tremendous value of the Peaceaward lies, to our notion, in its educa¬tion. And for this reason. The DailyMaroon urges that the pamphlets dis¬tributed in chapel be read carefully,and that votes be cast immediately.The Bok Peace award is an educationalthing in itself. While the 22,165 ten¬tative plans submitted by individualsand groups throughout the United jStates may not even approach a solu-'tion of the world peace problem, at jleast the individuals engaged in the1task of submitting plans have started)to think in terms of internationalfriendship as over against chauvinistic1predjudice, and in terms of meditationand moderation as over against the set-]tlement of disputes by primitive andjobsolete methods. In considering thePeace Plan, the voters, themselves,start thinking in these terms .It is imperative, therefore, that theplan be given sufficient publicitythroughout the United States. In thecolleges, where, we assume, the proc¬ess of intellectual leadership develop-jment is going on, it is especially im¬portant that the plan be studied.We believe that the Peace Plan inChicago has not had its share of pub¬licity. Where editorial policy has dic¬tated, antagonism has been built upand a single aspect presented. Resi¬dents of Chicago have not been givena real opportunity fairly to considerBok's idea and the result of his idea.Undergraduates and graduate stu¬dents will do well to examine the planswhen they are distributed. Here isunbiased publicity for an idea whichat least encourages the establishmentof a broad point of v cw. Campus Poets ReadBefore English ClubCampus literary talent was- repre¬sented at a dinner given by the Englishclub of Greater Chicago, as the PetitGourmet. Original poems, written bymembers of the University of ChicagoPoetry club, Bertha Ten Eyck James,Gladys Campbell, Maurice Lesemann,Arthur Nethercott and Arthur Kramerwere read.Membership in the Poetry club isopen to any student in the University,and those who are interested in thewriting of verse are invited to submitthree or four poems to the secretary,Pearl Robertson, 6108 Ellis Ave., forconsideration by the club.“Don’t have the idea that this is agroup suitable only for advanced stu¬dents,” said the president. “Freshmenand sophomores are eligible if theycan write poetry.”Gives Movie TalkOn Russia, GermanyAn illustrated motion picture lectureon the Germany and Russia of Today,will be given by Wiliam F.

Theboard will be made up of the presidentsand managers of Gargoyles, Towerplayers, Blackfriars, the Band, and theGlee club. As is the case with theother boards which have already beenorganized, a representative for thecouncil will be elected by this group.Discussion came up over the matterof including Portfolio in this group ofactivities, but as it is only active everyother year and then only for a shorttime, it was not judged advisable to in¬clude this organization.MRS. FLINT URGES WOMENTO READ MORE LITERATURE(Continued from page 1)“A beginning in reading may bemade from any view point or methodof approach. It is not necessary toplan a definite line of reading, for,once started in any type of literature,a dozen other branches of thought willbe opened along with a mental curios¬ity which will lead on to wider fieldsof reading.”That undergraduate interest in poetryis undergoing a re-awakening was alsobrought out at the meeting. The con¬tinued existence of the Poetry club of,the University and i(s recent publica¬tion of an anthology of verse by itsmembers was cited as an example oft-liis new feeling.In conclusion Mrs. Flint said thatsince there was more leisure for read¬ing in undergraduate life than therewould be at any other period, and that]if the habit were not formed then, in [all probability it would never be, Uni¬versity students should make a pointof developing their taste for literatureand their love for reading while theopoprtunity affords.STEEL MILL TRIP SATURDAYThe Society of Industrial Engineerswill conduct a trip Saturday to theIllinois Steel Co.

The paper is a college activitiy; its man¬agers, mainly through an ardent college spirit, with a goal of honorbefore them, have worked for their positions through their entirecollege course. Consequently, its backers (you advertisers) are con¬sidered to be University of Chicago enthusiasts and have the sup¬port of the whole student body.Second: Readableness: College students are a busy lot. Ifthey have time to read the big dailies, it is only in cursory fashion,headlines, the sporting or editorial pages, perhaps. Accurate satisticsshow that less than fifty daily papers are delivered ot dormitories,fraternities, and clubs on the camPus.
