Common Questions Answered
by Application of
Adsorption
Questions ranging from ‘‘Why is the
* ocean salty?” to “Why don’t pancakes
stick on a greaseless griddle?” were
answered by Professor H. G. Tanner of
the chemistry department in an address
to the G and M Society in Condon hall
last night.
Professor Tanner explained that both
geology and chemistry are in a way
related and that adsorption is a process
that is responsible for much of the
. strange phenomena of nature. The prin
ciple of adsorption as he explained it,
is that all matter attracts all other
matter in a physical sense; also that
there is a like chemical attraction. In
addition there might be a sort of semi
chemical attraction which is adsorption.
That is there are degrees of chemical
attraction which fades off indefinitely
and are on the border line between phy
sical and chemical attraction.
Adsorption is the motivating foree in
surface tension, the controlling power
in emulsions, enters into plans of en
gineers who design motor bearings and
the base for the new principle of ore
flotation. The gas mask of the recent
war was invented on a principal of ad
sorption, that is the charcoal in the
mask presented a large surface which
completely adsorbes the gas as the air
is drawn in.
The formation of deltas at the mouth
of rivers is dependent on adsorption for
the sodium chloride precipitates the
dirt and it falls to the river bottom.
The ocean is salty, Mr. Tanner said,
because the streams washing over rocks
and formations on their way to the sea
pick up potassium chloride and sodium
chloride but the roots of trees and
plants take up the potassium chloride
while the sodium chloride goes on down
the river to the ocean.
Hotcakes won’t stick on a griddle
that has been greased, said the speak
er, because the metal of the pan adsorbs
the grease more rapidly than the cake,
while the aluminum griddle is of dif
ferent composition and the various mol
ecules of the two substances are not at
tracted to one another.
During the course of his lecture, Mr.
Tanner explained various phases of his
illustrations by actual experiment,
proving that molecules of one substance
will adhere to those of another and that
actual moisture exists even on a glass
tube.
T. J. BOLITHO PRAISED
BY FRESH MILK DEALERS
Letter of Appreciation Is Received
by President; Professor Is on
Leave of Absence
Appreciation of the International
Milk Dealers association for the work
being done for them by T. J. Bolitho,
professor of business administration
who is on a year’s leave of absence, is
expressed in a letter received yester
day by President Campbell from R. E.
Little of Chicago, secretary of the as
sociation.
Mr. Bolitho is establishing a uniform
system of cost and accounts for the
milk industry and Mr. Little says re
garding it:
“Through his ability and vision the
whole-hearted and unqualified support
of our entire organization have been
secured for his work and methods of
procedure. I am not unmindful of the
sacrifice that his absence has caused
you to bear, but we take a measure of
satisfaction in knowing that the honor,
which will necessarily come from his
labors, will be in a great measure re
flected upon your institution.”

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION
DIVISION LENDS SLIDES
New Set Illustrating Lives of Civil
War Leaders Is Beady for
Distribution in Schools
A new set of slides illustrating the
lives of General Grant and other lead
ers .in the Civil War, and also many of
the principal battles and campaigns,
will soon be ready to send out to
schools of the state who are taking j
advantage of the opportunity offered
by the University extension division
of using these slides in their work. The
new set contains 300 slides and is the
most complete of its kind in the coun
try.
The extension division now has about
7000 slides, dealing with a wide var
iety of subjects, including history, geo
graphy, education, botany, biology,
physics, geology and health promotion.
There is also a number portraying the
industries and scenic attractions of the
state of Oregon. Each set of slides is
accompanied by an explanatory lecture
when sent to the various schools.
All classes of schools in the state
use these slides in their work, from the
rural schools to the largest high schools.
About 125 motion picture films, of an
educational nature, are also available
for all schools which are able to show
them. At least 300 schools use the
slides regularly.

ORCHESTRA TO PLAY
T (Continued from page one.)
—
lit lacks the blatancy when played by
strings, instead of by leather-lipped,
rubber-lunged troupers. But under Bex
Underwood’s direction the snap and
life are there, and if the listeners can
not see the horses and their riders dash
ing around the ring, they will at least
feel that they should be there.
The classic touch is added by the
“Ballet Suite” by Bameau, who lived
back in the seventeenth century. The
suite is made up of three dances, the
first two of which are the stately old
dances of that time, the minuette and
the musette. They were written for
the small instrumentation of that time,
and when arranged for the modern sym
phony orchestra have a simplicity and
delicacy which could hardly be obtain
ed in any other way.
“Beve Angelique” is thought of us
ually as a piano solo. But after hearing
it played by a symphony orchestra in
conjunction with a pipe organ, one will
never think of it so again. It has
depths of feeling which need the
strings and the deep voice of the or
gan.
Aurora Potter Underwood, pianist, is
the other assisting soloist. She will
play two numbers from Chopin, that
composer whose works she has played
so effectively heretofore.
The program will be of about one and
a half hours duration. General admis
sion will be free, One hundred and
fifty seats in the balcony have been
reserved and may be obtained at the
Co-op or at McMorran and Wash
burne’s. The proceeds will be used
by the Elkg for charity.

CHAMPION RIFLE TEAM
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT
R. 0. T. C. Members Will Enter
Shooting Competition
Prospects for a championship rifle
team are becoming brighter every day,
says Lieutenant M. E. Knowles, in
charge of rifle practice at the R. O.
T. C. More men are turning out every
day, and competition for a place on
the teams promises to be very keen, he i
says, since all men yhosen will be ex-1
cused from drill.
Although several excellent shots have
appeared on the range this year, those
in charge announce that any one with
either ambition or ability will be wel
come. The three teams, composed of 15
men each, will represent the University
in all competitive meets.
Practically every unit in the ninth
corps area, of which the University
is a member, is preparing to enter the
match this year, which will be held
February 12 to 24. The meet last year
was won by the O. A. C. first team,
which scored 5573 out of a possible
B000. The Aggie third team took sec
ond place, with a score of 5352, while
the Oregon first team was third with
5246. Other teams which stood high
last year were California Institute of
Technology, University of California,
southern branch, Utah' Agricultural
College and the University of Nevada.
Men this year who are showing up
well are L. B. Blackney, Roscoe Bran
aman, Everett Eggleston, B. Flood, Car
rol Ford, Rupert Gilbert, and George
Hills. The team, however, will not be
picked for at least two weeks, says
Lieutenant Knowles. This will give any
new men a chance to work up before
the ninth corps meet.
The ninth corps area district of the
R. 0. T. <7. is composed of the Univer
sity of Oregon, the U. of O. medical
school, North Pacific Dental College,
Stanford, University of Wyoming, Uni
versity of Nevada, Pomona College,
Utah Agricultural College, Montana
College of A. and M. Arts, California
Institute of Technology, University of

sity of California, University of Sou
thern California, Washington State Col

“HIS MASTER’S VOICE”
BAFFLES BULLDOG P^TE
Beligerent Canine Attacking Papier
Mache Foe Attracts Large Group
of Laughing Supporters
Pete, the cannibalistic canine of the
Sigma Nu house, has again proved his
valor. Last Thursday he encountered
the largest dog in town and came out
of the fray victorious.
The Victor dog, that papier mache
masterpiece which aets in front of a
certain down-town music store in the
rapt attitude of attending to “His Mas
ter’s Voice,” was the object of Pete’s
wrath.
The Sigma Nu pup had not met this
hulking hound before, and was all for
starting a friendly little fight. The
stranger’s indifference and immobility
disturbed Pete’s temper, however, and
IT
ho decided that lie might as well finish
the creature then and there. The bat
tle was a bloodless but savage one, and
attracted quite a crowd of townspeople.
Captain Judkins of the local police
ventured an interference, but Pete
would have none of it. Finally, the
owner of the store drew the overgrown
terrier inside, and Pete, chagrined, was
led away.
Since that time Pete has made sever
al trips down town and on each occa
sion has renewed the war, so that it
would now seem that unless a kennel or
a cage is provided for the music mas
cot, or Pete is persuaded that popier
maclie is bad for the teeth and dis
tasteful to the palate, the battle w-ill
go on indefinitely, and the Sigma Nu
bulldog will continue to find his way
into print.
DON’T MISS THIS PICTURE
Have yob read Peter B. Kyne’s story
“Humanizing Mr. Winsby?” If you
haven % you can get acquainted with
the tale in a most pleasing form, in
Jack Holt’s Paramount picture “Mak
ing a Man,” which comes tomorrow to
the Rex. Considering its favorable re
ception the picture is likely to play to
capacity audiences during its run. From
every angle it is undoubtedly one of
the outstanding pictures of the month.
It is a big story by a big author, and
produced in a big way by Joseph Hen
abery. The supporting cast is excellent.
SOPHOMORE ELECTION TODAY |

tume would be in vogue for the lottery
dance to be given Friday night in tho
Campa Shoppe. Music will be furnish
ed by the Dreamland 7-piece orchestra.
The dance will start at 8:30.
AT THE REX
“June Madness,” starring Viola Da
na, will be the featured attraction at
the Rex theater today. It is a comedy
that commences where most pictures
leave off—at the altar.
A special feature of the Rex double
program today, is the premier presenta
tion of “The Toll of the Sea,” a five
part pieturization of Puccini’s operatic
“Madame Butterfly” which is shown in
perfect natural colors.
In presenting the colordrama which
is enacted by genuine oriental charac
ters in lieu of “make up artists,” the
Rex has prepared an elaborate musical
setting of the Puccini opera score,
which has been synchronized with the
production.

“The New Architecture”
A DISTINCTLY new tendency is apparent in architectural
thought and design today. Architects are designing in
masses — the great silhouette, the profile of the building has
become of far greater importance than its detail.
There is a new vigor and ruggedness even in buildings which are conven
tionally classic in their detail. Masses mount upward, supporting the tower,
accentuating its height. The new architecture is tending toward great struc
tures rather than multiplicity of detail.
Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organization,
will prove more than equal to the demands of the architecture of the future.
