ELECTRICAL DIRECTOR
SPEAKS TO ENGINEERS
Manager of Light Association
Presents Survey Talk at
Convocation.
"A Survey of the Electrical In
dustry" was the subject upon which
M. H. Aylesworth, managing direct
or of the National Electric Light As
sociation, .addressed the students of
the College of Engineering at a spe
cial convocation held yesterday
morning.
Mr. Aylesworth presented figures
to illustrate the growth -of the elec
trical industry which has multiplied
twenty-five fold in the last twenty
years. He asesrted that a beginning
has scarcely been made as yet com
nared to what will be made in the
future in this field. The promptness
with which service can be obtained
to carry sudden demands upon elec
trical systems was illustrated in New
York City recently, he said, when a
sudden noonday storm clouded the
city of New York and combined the
demands upon the electrical lighting
system of both the normal industrial
power day load aad the nigght light
ing load. Within a few minutes the
load had doubled. This demand was
met promptly through an inter-connection
between the New York Edi
son company and the Brooklyn Edi
son company.
Electricity on Farm.
The speaker informed the students
of a recent development in the elec
trical industry, being a study that is
being undertaken to evaluate the
use of electricity on the farm. Sev
eral states, he said, have organized
projects that will actually provide
for the installation of electrical
plants and will operate them for
several years f o rthe sake of getting
information. Nebraska is contem
plating such a project at the pres
ent time.
At the end of his address, Mr.
Aylesworth pointed out the advan
tage that a man is given because of
a technical engineering training if
he goes into the managerial side of
these industries. He further em
phasized the need of more technical
men in the business side ,of the in
dustry. Mr. Aylesworth also gave a short
address before the Knife and Fork
club at the Chamber of Commerce
lat night at a regular meeting. From
here he goes to Kansas City.
Minnesota Six-hundred students
will participate in an all-University
circus May 16 and 17, the first in
nine years.
night of the show there, May 3.
Among the song hits which Mr.
Coombs is publishing this year is
"The Wishing Ring,!' which was
played for the first time at the Pan
Hellenic formal at the Scottish Rite
Temple. 'Other songs to be offered
to patrons of the 1924 hsow are,
"Honey Dear I Love You All Day
Long," "In Society," and "When I
Waltz With You."
Mr. Coombs is author of all the
songs in "The Wishing Ring" and he
has been coaching the choruses and
principals who sing them in the
comedy. Practices are being held
each evening from now until the play
is given, May 2.

FIVE HUNDRED AGS
HEAR SHERWOOD EDDY
Student Leader Declares Co
operation Among Farm
ers Needed.
Nearly 500 students heard the ad
dress by Sherwood Eddy at the Ag
ricultural hall at 9 o'clock Thursday
morning. All seats were taken early
and standing room was taken by the
time the address started. Dean Bur
nett presided over the meeting. Dr.
Eddy outlined rural conditions and
also social conditions as he found it
in his travels of the world.
Co-operation was emphasized by
Dr. Eddy as the most urgent need
for the American people and especi
ally for the farmers. He cited, as
an example, Denmark as it is today.
He stated that 90 per cent of the
Denmark farmers own their own
farms. All of their marketing and
buying began this practice of co
operating to buy and sell directly,
big business controlled them, and
they were a dissatisfied class.
"Denmark's schools, railroads, gov
ernment, and all big business is di
rectly in charge of the people," said
Dr. Eddy. i
He also cited how twenty-eight
poor weavers in England, who were
failing at their business, founded a
co-operative society. Each man put

PLAYERS WIN
APPRECIATION
Present "Dulcy" at Temple;
Gertrude Moran Takes
Title Role.
SUPPORTING CAST
IS SATISFYING
With continuous chatter in a
pained effort to make everyone hap
py, Gertrude Moran won generous
applause in the title role of "Dulcy"
presented by the University Players
last evening in the Temple Theater.
Hart Jenks as C. Roger Forbes, big
business man, Edward Taylor as Vin
cent Leach, a "scenarist," and Dwight
Merriam as Schuler Van Dyck, the
almost multi-millionarie, presented a
strong support. Harold Felton as
William Parker, the brother of Dulcy,
added the practical touch.
Orville Andrews took the part of
Gordon Smith, Dulcy's husband, Do
lores Bosse of Mrs. Forbes, Martha
Dudley of Angela Forbes, Foster
Matchett of Tom Sterrett, an adver
tising manager, David Lindstrom ap
peared as Blair Patterson, an attor
ney, and Darrell Starms as Henry, a
butler with a cloudy past.
Attempts to Transact Business
Dulcy's husband's vain attempts to
transact business with Mr. Forbes
were the basis of the plot. Dulcy did
her best to help him, but, in her own
words,- "I just think I think."
When Vincent Leach, smitten with
his own wonderful ability as a seen
ario writer, consented to Dulcy's ur
gent requqest to speak his latest su
per-drama, while Van Dyke played
appropriate music on the piano, Mr.
Forbes found the climax of the worst
evening he ever spent. The poetic
ally lifted soul of the writer led him
to gesture too widely and he smote
the business man on the cheek.
Never to Interfere.
With everything in a mess, Gor
don Smith drew from his wife a
promise never again to interfere in
his business affairs. She did, and
then tried to straighten out the harm
she had done. Of course, she made
it worse. Her brother brought in the
happy ending when he helped Angela
to elope with the scenarist, but took
the place of the groom himself.
"Dulcy" is a three-act comedy by
George S. Kaufman and Marc Con
nelly. Friday evening, Saturday
matinee, and Saturday evening per
formances will be given.

EDDY TELLS FIVE
MAIN ESSENTIALS
Student Leader Names Fun
damental Concepts of
Christian Belief.
INSPIRED WORD OF
GOD COMES FIRST
PROGRAM FRIDAY.
HtOO Final morning address,Welch
Pogue presiding.
Afternoon- Conferences.
7:15 Closing address, Josephine
Schramek presiding.
"The five great basic fundamen
tals that I find every Christian striv
ing passionately to preserve, and in
which he firmly believes are: First,
the inspired word of God; second,
Jesus' way of living; third, a living,
divine Christ giving eternal life;
fourth, the eternal principle of sac
rifice; fifth, love, consumated in the
coming of the kingdom of God," said
Dr. Eddy last night in his talk on
"The Faith of Honest Doubt."
"There are other questions," he
continued, "considered by some to
be fundamental, but I do not find
them so. The test I apply for proof
of their basic character is, first,
whether or not Christ was concerned
with the question at hand; second,
whether or not it is central to my
religious experience; third, whether
or not the case in hand is capable of
verification, for if it cannot be
proved it can have no bearing on the
case.
Bible Not Perfected.
"The Bible seems to me to' be a
gradual progressive revelation rath
er than a work perfected, infallible
and with every word recorded accur
ately and exactly. That is the ex
planation for the fact that we find
things contradictory to the teachings
in the old and new Testament, and
yet which have been made to serve
as excuses for many evil practices.
"I do not try to reconcile the story
of the creation, as it is presented in
the Bible, with the theory of evolu
tion. I come to the Bible to find
spiritual truth, and to find 'but how
I can gain eternal life, but not for
facts of science. There can be no
contradiction between true science
and true religion, for they are on
entirely different planes."
Gives Proof of God.
In answer to a question more com
monly asked him than any other, in
regard to his proof for the existence
of a God, Dr. Eddy replied, "I know
I am I think, therefore I am. I
know the difference between right
and wrong, and I know that there are
imperative reasons fdr my doing
right. I know that other men testi
fy that by doing right they can find
God. I know I ought to test their
statements, and see if I also can find
God. Obedience is as condition of
knowledge in both religious and sci
entific life. If any man will do, then
he will know. If he will not do, ho
will not know.
Honesty, moral, earnestness, and
purity were discussed by Dr. Eddy
in his Thursday morning address at
II o'clock at St Paul church. The
main auditorium of the church and
part of the balconies were filled with
students in spite of the fact that no
classes were dismissed for the meet
ing. Kenneth Cozier, '24, intra
duced Dr. Eddy, and the invocation
was given by Dr. Walter Aitken, pas
tor of St. Paul church.
Christianity will be presented by
Dr. Eddy this morning at 11 o'clock
and tonight at 7:15 as the solution
to the problems which he has been '
suggesting.
Dr. Eddy began by citing the small
percentage of moral leaders among
the American people as indicated by
the army tests. Insurance company
statistics, he said, show that after 40
years, out of 100 college graduates
taken at the ge of 25, 36 will be .
dead, 54 will be financially depend
ent, 5 will be earning their own liv
ing, 4 will be well-to-do, and 1 will
be rich.
Creighton Creighton Univeristy
Night Law School which has existed
for more than twenty years is to be
discontinued and no new students ad
mitted. Owing to the ruling of the
Association of Law Schools that only
those schools requiring two yeafrs
preliminary., college work can rank
in Class A division officials have de
cided to discontinue the night course
in order to maintain their former
standards.
