CONSTRUCTION I0VES SLOWLY Work Is Delayed on Andrews Hall Because of Colder Weather This Week CONTRACT IS MODIFIED Construction work on Andrews Hall progressed slowly the early part of the week partly, due to colder wea ther, and partly to give time for the setting of concrete that had been poured for the second floor. Temporary supports have not yet been removed from the ground floor and work centered about elevating additional blocks of Bedford stone to the second floor, and making ready for their placement as soon as brick masons can resume work. At present, the brick work and trim mings have gone as far as the sec ond story. Colder weather neceasi tated the hanging of huge strips of canvass over the north side openings to exclude wind. The contract for the interior work on Andrews Hall has been modified somewhat, to include an .acoustical plaster in the class rooms on all three floors of the buHding.

CITY ATTORNEY GIVES ADDRESS Peterson Speaks to Students In First of a Series of Vocational Talks SAYS STRENGTH NEEDED "What we ourselves possess by way of capacity or interest and what the profession holds its appeal and its drawbacks are the two factors that help the student to decide whe ther or not he or she should enter the legal profession," declared C.

HILL GIVES TALK TO CHEMICAL SOCIETY I Doctor of Political Science Says That Scientific Research Affects Politics Dr. X. L. Hill of the department of political science gave an interest ing address at the opening meeting of Phi Lambda Upsilon, chemical so ciety, last evening, in the lecture hall of the chemistry building. He outlined "The Effects of Modern Scientific Research on the Political World." "Even religion has not escaped the effects of Science," were Dr. Hill's first words. He then continued to show in just what degree political science was affected by scientific re search. Although we produce two thirds of the world's supply of min eral oil we consume more than we produce, he said. Therefore, we have to seek supplies in other countries By scientific research, coupled with political influence exerted in these countries we have been able to make our production equal our consump tion. Treaties, inter-national tribun als and arbitrations may be held to settle controversies, but a single in vention will turn the tide in the bal ance of power, in his opinion. In closing, Dr. Hill mentioned the past accomplishments gained by the co-operation of scientific research and political science and pointed out the even greater possibilities of fu ture attainments. A discussion was held after the address in which Dr. Demming and Dr. Russell took lead ing parts.

In connection with world affairs, a new treaty was made with France this month. On February sixth, the anniversary of the treaty made with France by Ben jamin Franklin in 1778, Briand and Secretary Kellogg made an extension of this old plan with promises to take any differences between the two countries to a court of arbitration and hereafter never fight with each other.
