' AERO SAFETY DEVICE
Flying Seismograph to
Detect Weaknesses
In Engines.
Ry OrtiKia Ni aivi.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April IS
Development of a seismograph for
airplanes to word engine vihra
Hon, war announced this week at
the Massachuetta Institute of Tech
nology. These seismic shoc ks of J lying
have boon one of the baffling prob
lems of aviation. Thoir v
could bo felt thruont a piano, hut
their "epicenters"' the point in tho
machine that made thorn, could not
M a rule be located.
With increases in power and
peed the flying shocks have risen
to the point where they often cause
rapid weakening and breakage of
parts Discovering the "epicen
ters" has proved essential in ending-
the danger.
The flying seismograph will pick
up the shocks from one or several
different parts of the engine, si
multaneously, and record them all
at the same receiving station,
which can be set up at any con
venient point in the ship.
A very small seismograph is
bolted to' the part of the engine, or
plane., suspected as the source of
danger. Within me. nousing is a
magnet free to move with the vi
bration.
A coil of wire is placed In the
Intense magnetic field so that
very move induces an electrical
current which is picked up and
transmitted to the central record
ing station.
There it moves a beam of light
recording the vibration photo
graphically in visible waves, by
fractions of seconds, and with
heights proportional to the force
of the vibi-ation.
The seismograph alreadv has en
abled engineers to slop the vibra
tion that has broken crankshafts
and caused propellors to snap off
In the air.
The new instruments were de
veloped jointly by the institute and
the Bureau 'of Aeronautics of the
navy, and were described in a im
port by Trof. C. S. Draper and
G. P. Bentley.
Colonel Oury Says
Xetr Band Uniforms
U ill Shou Kansas"
"We'll show Kansas yet," mutter
ed Colonel Oury as he left the sta
dium where he had personally su-
perviaed the display of the new
band uniforms at the final band
nrMi f the week. The new
scarlet and cream band garb with
its accompanying crown of cocky
plummage was decided upon at a
band banquet about a month ago
and the sample outfit was received
by the ir .itary department last
week.
Dissatisfaction with the Nebras
ka band was expressed here after
the appearance of the Kansas band
' at a football game. The resulting
agitation ended in a decision by
the military department to aban
don the old uniforms in the mili
tary grev. The new outfits are to
be purchased out of the federal
allotment for the R. O. T. C. band.
With cream striped scarlet
trousers and cream coats dotted
with gold buttons and bands of
scarlet, the new uniforms are

The uniforms permit ot several
combinations by virtue of both red
and white plumes for each auit and
the possibility of wearing a black
tie, white shut front instead of the
closed neck Jacket style of the reg
ular uniform.
Another leaturc of the band at
its fall appearance at football
games besides the new uniforms
and the reduction of size from 160
pieces to 100, will be the new
marching step which the organisa
tion has been mastering during

that several new maneuvers arc
being worked out.

Max Schmeling haa taken the
final leap, and was fupoaed
have left Germany for the Ur
to
nlted
Stales last Wednesday. Many
writers doubted whether he would
ever show up in this country for
his fight with .loe Louis in June.
Schmeling is on the short end of
pretty heavy odds that Louis will
knock him out before the half
way mark of the fight ta reached.
Ot course Max and his few follow
ers are sure that the German boy
1a just the one to stop Louie's
rapid rise to fistic heights. Prob
ably the only way Schmeling could
win hia coming fight would be on
a foul, but .loe will be far too
careful to allow anything like
that to happen. Probably the fact
that Max remembers very well
the terrible beating Louis delt out
the last lime the Bomber fought
accounts for the strenuous train
ing the Gorman boy has gone thru
the last few months. Both fight
ers are supposed to lie in the pink
of condition, although Joe has
been taking it easy lately figuring
that he has a little rest due him
after his strenuous ring campaign.
Dana X. Bible, athletic direc
tor and bead Husker football
coach, hat been tolicited for
two football coaching schools to
take place this summer. Bible

There has been more than a lit
tle comment about Lawson Little's
actions on the 72 green in the Au
gusta open a few weeks ago. It
seems tuat Little and Horton
Smith, who finally won the tour
nament, were touring the course
together for the last round. This
final round wasn't really impor
tant to Little as he was already
too high in the list to stand a
chance to win. Smith, however,
was shooting to win and needed
every break he could get. On the
72 green the match was at its
height. Smith needed two putts to
sink a 285 and take the tourney.
Both Little's and Smith's balls
were on the green with Smith
away. According- to the unwrit
ten "laws it was Smith's turn to
shoot first. But before Smith
could address the ball Little
stepped up and sank his putt for
a score of SOfl. Smith then putted
out for his 285 and the match.
Little explained afterwards that
he was afraid the crowd would
swarm over the green and it would
be impossible for him to take his
putt after Smith had finished. Oth
ers claim that it was alright for
Little to putt out Ahead as he
showed Smith how fast the green
was, and might have relieved a
bit of tension. It's every man to
his own ideas, however, Little is
"in the doghouse" among his golf
ing friends.
Those who thought they had
the winner of this year's Ken
tucky derby already picked are
getting worried about it now.
There are two other horses that
have shown within the last two
weeks a sudden burst of speed
and endurance that ought to
carry them well to the front in
the May 2 classic. The Fighter
is one and Indian Broom is an
other. Both have run their dis
tances in record breaking time,
and unless the weight assigned
each proves too much they will
give the dds-on favorite, Prev
ity, a run for his money. Win
ter and futures bookies are quot
ing all three at very low odds
for so far ahead of race time
which is an indication in itself
that the trio is expected to fin
ish one, two, three.
Probably one of the most potent
hard luck omens that can befall a
big leatrue ball club is to have a
group of sports writers pick them
early in the season to finish on top
of the heap at the close of the
year. That is what has befallen
the Detroit Tigers this year.
Nearly every sports writer in the
country has picked the Cochrane
coached squad to repeat their
American league win of last year
and Mickey is plenty worried.
Sports writers have a reputation
for picking the wrong horse, team
and ball clubs, and Cochrane is
afraid that they will keep their
average at the expense of his
team,

other superlative avowals of ex
cellemc. Speaking of the hildri-n
in the picture the Literary Digest
says, "Hollywood a children be
come grimacing puppets by com
parison." Six Months Preparation.
The principle adult part, that
of a kindly-faced maid in the day
nursery for the children of povei ty
plagued parents, is acted by Mad
eleine Renaud. Without taxing
validity, commentators have re
marked that Miss Renaud and her
mature helpmates have all but
equaled in ai-e what the children
have by natui.
Wentworth Fling, instructor in
the French department, disclosed
that the actors in the picture
spent six months in the nursery
actually performing the some
times messy ministrations that
growing children necessitate. The
children were chosen from among
j some 250 authentic gutter urchins
who were placed in the nursery
during tho filming and "shot" by
; the cameras at ideal moments,
j Between ftO and 60 waifs of every
shade of color, degree of dirt, and
I twist of temperament actually
appeared in the production.
The somewhat thin-threaded
plot, which binds the happy de
pictions of the children together
into a story, centers around tho
maid. Rose, and the deeply affec
tionate little girl of a prostitute
who spends her days at the school
and her nights in the dives with
her mother. After losing her
mother to a sensuous scamp and
her second love. Rose, to the doc
tory at the nursery this eccentric
bit of jealous love and sensitive
stubbornness tries to commit sui

She ia rescued, however, and is
won over to the doctor by his

Protect Rabbit.
Most of the prize scenes in the
picture are those in the school
room of the nursery where the
maid exerts a magic influence be
cause the children love her and
she returns the affection. The
spontaneity and unrestrained ac
tions of the children is refreshing
after the part playing roles in the
American films.
Highlights of infant appeal are
those of the children trying to
protect a rabbit which they think
is going to be cooked for their
dinner, of the death of the homely
little fellow who couldn't smile,
and of all the original kids getting
dirty or hurt so that they may
be tended by the kindly maid.
