Special Convocation
EMPHASIZES ADVANCEMENT
Explains Various Ratios to Use in
Mixing Materials and Gives
Men Valuable Information
Colonol II. C. Hoyden of the Port
land Cement Association of Chicago
talked to enmpus engineers In a spe
cial convocation at 11 o'clock Monday,
in M. E. 200. Ho emphasized recent
advancement mado in knowledgo of
proper proportions of mnterlals in
concrete, thus adapting It to use In
nil typos of structures. He especially
pointed out tho necessity of consider
ing the water content of mixtures.
By the uro of proper designs and
mixtures he showed that it is , pos
sible to save largo amounts In money
and material In construction projects.
"There has been a decided advance
in the last few years in recognition
of the fact that the water-cement ra
tio used in a mix is of prime import
ance in determining the strength of
concrete," he said.
Directly dependent upon this fact,
he showed that when the mixtures
used are to be handled in long chutes,
an additional amount of water neces
sary for lubrication must be accom
panied by additional cement In order
to maintain the quality of strength.
Similarity, in roads and other work
where stiff mixtures can be used, the
cement content may be diminished,
without decreasing the strength of the
concrete. These facts lead him di
rectly to tho conclusion that in largo
structures it will pay to use several
different mixes for tho different parts,
the mix depending on the method of
handling and of putting into place.
Where a thin mixture is necessary, it
should be richer in cement. Such
mixes are often necessary for success
ful packing around reinforcement.
Curing during the setting of con
crete is important in establishing its
strength. If practicable, he said, con
crete should be kept moist for twenty-eight
days, by flooding, or by cov
ering with earth or burlap and sprink
ling. Proper handling during this per
iod, Colonel Boyden insisted, may ns
much as double the strength of the
concrete.
In conversation, Dean Ferguson said
Colonel Boyden casually remarked
that a proper design of the concrete
mixtures for Nebraska's new stadium
should be capable of saving many
thousand dollars over the cost typi
cally incurred in the use of ordinary
standard mixtures.

Post for Women
All girls who are members of the
American Legion Auxiliary, or who
are eligible to membership, are urged
to be present at a meeting at Ellen

The American Legion Auxiliary Is
an organization developed within the
American Legion, in response to the
appeal sent out by the wives, sisters,
daughters, and mothers of men who
were participants In the World War.
Through the courtesy of the Lin
coln Post of the Auxiliary, It. Is pos
Bible to form, under Its charter, a
Campus Post. This organization is a
live all-American society, and It Is
hoped that all those girls who are
elieible to membership will show
their loyalty to those who have gon
before, and to the United States by
coming to the meeting at Ellen Smith
hall next Monday at 5.
Sophomores Urged
To Make Tryouts
For Debate Team
All sophomore debaters are urged
to try out for the sophomore debat

one of the big things this year, if
the students get behind it and push
for their respective classes.
Sophomores who are interested are
asked to give their names, addresses
and telephone numbers to Wendell
Berge, chairman of the class debate
committee.
The chief objection to a living
wage is that it makes no allowance
for blow-outs.

Twenty-eight groups of men started
canvassing the city Tuesday morning
for tho remainder of tho $150,000 to
be raised for the University Stadium,
and when the first ono reported at 1
o'clock, four new $500 pledges were
added to the list, besides scores of
lessor ones. Other reports will be
added during the day and the total in

evening. Most of the firms and men
In the city are very enthusiastic about
the proposed stadium. Those that
aren't quite so enthusiastic are going
to welcome a "hard boiled" commit

Holland.
Tho Omaha drive opened Tuesday
but the results have not been an
nounced as yet. The Omaha people
are asked to subscribe $60,000 to the
fund. This is only about one-third of
the sum that the residents of Lincoln
have been asked to subscribe. The
generous donations of the local peo
ple will undoubtedly bo repeated in
the northern metropolis.

HEALTH WEEK
15 EMPHASIZED
Dr. J. Stanley Welch Addresses
Students on History and Cure
for Long Time Enemy
MANY PRE-MEDICS ATTEND
Address is Full of Interesting
Facts About Cancer and Its
Development and Effect
Dr. J. Stunley Welsh spoke at the
University convocation Tuesday morn
ing on the subject of cancer, in ac
cordance with the observance of pub
lic health week. More than half of
tho audience were pro-medic Btudents.
Dr. Welsh urged tho students to
accept tho facts about cancer, and
to devote some of their spare time
to an understanding of tho disease
and to teach others about it, empha
sizing that it is no shame to have the
disease, that It can be cured early
and has few symptoms. "As much
can bo done with cancer as has been
done with tuberculosis," the speaker
said.
The history of cancer, and some ot
its cures, wero outlined briefly by
tho speaker' from the time of the
early Egyptians In 1500 B. C. up to
tho present time, when about 100,000
persons die of the disease in this
country every year. Another 100,000
have the dlseaso and will die within
a year, and still another group ot
the same number are mildly afflicted
now but will not seek relief in time
and will ultimately die from the ef
fects of cancer.
"We do not know what causes can.
cer, but wo do know what cancer is,"
tho speaker explained. "Briefly, can.
cer is a wildfiro growth of ordinary
cells, an unrestricted abnormal
growth of normal cells." He likened
a concer growth to a brick in a wall
which loosses its relation to the
whole, and grows out Independently.
A cancer is the same, with a loss of
control, or oergrowth, that piles up
and pushes in or out, and occas
ionally droi! into the IiIihmI nnl Is
carried to another part of the body
as a secondary cancer.
Cancer develops where there Is a
chronic irritation, and usuully in
middle ace. It appears in tissues
where there Is a degeneration with
age. There is a difference ot opi:i'
Ion as to the heredity of cancer.
Dr. Welsh mentioned three cures
for cancer, which includes caustic
paste, the use of which leaves an
ugly scar, and is not so rapid or
certain; radiant energy of the X-ray
or radium; and surgery, by which
the largest number of cures are ef
fected, and which is safe and suro
if used early enough.
T'.w folly of manipulation of a can
fpr srrowth was explained by Dr.
WUvh. He stated that physicians are
now convinced that cancer is not a
germ disease or a blood disease.
The American Society for the Con
trol of Cancer has recently taken up
the studv of the disease, and it is
under the auspices of that organiza
tion that public health week, with
pedal emphasis on the cancer ques
tion, is being observed throughout
the country this week.
Twelve Girls Taken

connection with control of cancer
week. The United States public
health service will send out two
broadcasts on the subject through the
navy station at Anacosta. The first
message will be sent tonight at 7:45

Tickets for the first annual "Dad's
Day" dinner to be held at the Armory
Saturday noon will be sold in the col
leges Thursday.
Booths will be erected and every
man will be given an opportunity to
buy a dinner admission card for 50
cents. It Is important that every man
buy tickets for his father and self
on Thursday, as the tickets are lim

Lincoln Saturday will be known by
the committee in charge of the ar
rangements for the day.
Tickets for the game in the after
noon, immediately following the lunch
eon will be sold at the booths and at
the luncheon. The fathers will sit
with their sons in the regular student
section and will pay only the student
rates for the game. The popularity
of the game is assured on account of
the fact a Husker victory will prac
tically cinch the Valley title for Daw
son's men.
Elaborate pluns for tho luncheon at
noon at the Armory are being made.
The program announced by the com
mittee Includes a good meal with mu
sic and a few short speeches by men

Dance in Evening in Armory
Students of the College of Business
Administration are behind tho plan
for a college celebration next Fri
day almost "to the man." That fact
Is indicated by the number of "Bizad''
Day ribbons on the coat-lapels of the
loyal "lilzad" students who plan to
take advantage of the big day of the
year for their college.
Ribbons, which serve as full-day
passes to all ot the events on tho
program for the day, have been on

ribbons will continue throughout the
week. The price of tho full day
passes Is one dollar.
From early morning until late night
the students of th(j college will cele
brate on Friday. The program for th
day will start off with a bang with a
parade at 8:43 in the morning. The
"Bizad" boosters will march through
the downtown streets of Lincoln,
cheering for their college and carry

exists between tho "Bizad" college
and the Lincoln business men.
The paraders will then march past
the high school and out to Antelope
park where n busy program has been
arranged. Everything from mass
games to a free-for-all finish fight
is included in the program for the

future business men.
GETS APPOINTMENT
Will Work With Committee in
Study of Oxygen or Oxygen
ated Air for Use in Mines
Professor W. L. DeBanfre, chairman
of the Department of Mechanical En
gineering, has been selected a mem
ber of an advisorv committee to work
with the United States Bureau of
Mines in a study of the use of oxygen
or of oxygenated air, in metallur
gical operations. Ho will work with
almost the same group of men as that
with which he worked in the recently
successful effort to recover helium
from natural gas in one operation.
The use of oxygen In connection
with the enrichment of the Mast In
blast furnaces and in practically alt
phases of pyro-metallurgical work
will furnish a key to success In fur
ther development of such metallur
gical operations, according to Dr. F.
G. Cottrell. formerly director and
now consulting metallurgist of the
United States Bureau of Mines, who
first directed tho Bureau's attention
to the subject. Through this enrich
ment process it is hoped to Increase
the efficiency of metallurgical opera
tions with resultant production ot
metals at a lower cost, and possibly
with the use of low grade ores.
The Bureau of Mines has outlined
plans for two studies to be carried
on simultaneously: the first to cover
present-day processes for production
of oxygen in order to determine the
feasibility of attempting to produce
oxygen, or oxygenated air, in such
amounts and at such cost as to per
mit its use in metallurgical opera
tions; the second to be devoted to
the feasibility of using oxygen, or
oxygenated air, in metallurgical op
