physical value and that it has lit

of military men were quoted to
substantiate the assertion of the
affirmative that the compulsory
feature of military training made

negative were that compulsory
military training was a good be
cause of the education, discipline,
leadership, and physical training
that it brought. Military training

advanced.

ELECTRICAL FREAKS
10 FEATURE EXHIBIT
Engineers Plan Skull That
Speaks and Man Who
Defies Current.
BUILD OTHER DISPLAYS
Skulls that talk and men whom
electrlcitv appaiently cannot kill
will be features of the display of
the department of electrical en
gineers for open house night en
gineers week. Thursday, May 7,
according to Walt Ely, chairman
of electrical engineers committee.
The display will be in the elec
trical engineering building, at the
entrance of which will be a large
letter "E" made up of rotating
lfghts. On the east side of the
building will be a small water
fountain enclosed in colored elec
tric lights.
The exhibit Includes a display
of artificial lighting. A man is
to be placed inside a wire cage
with a copper wiie around his
neck to which is attached a light
bulb. At the turning of a switch,
the bulb lights, and the man is
apparently not affected.
The number of people who enter
the building to view the display
will be calculated by a photo-electric
counter. This will be attached
to the door and will count the peo
ple when they enter.
Another experiment which will
be conducted by the electrical en
gineers is called "light the candle."
The lighting of a match operates
a photo-electric cell, and the cur
rent from the cell operates a fan
which blows out the match.
Other parts of the exhibits in
