SMALL VISITOR TELLS
BREATHLESS STORY OF
CHILDREN'S CLINIC DAY

A week ago you might have scared a
Child into being good indefinitely by
threatening to take him to the hospital
but that time is over. He has been there
and you can't fool him now.
According TO ono small visitor, with
acute tOnsilitis. this is the story Of his
day at the children's clinic.
Il went up there that morning and |
was scared and mother was scared and
everybody at home was scared but We
vent. A nice lady all in white met us
at the door and smiled at us and took
us down stairs and pretty soon she came
il and mother told her all about me and
] liked that cause it sounded so import
ant. Then we sat there for a little while
and watched the other little boys and
girls come in with their mothers and faith
ers and before | knew it We had dinner
and We were all getting ready for the
Zig doctor. .....
"And | wasn't bit scared any more
cause | knew he wasn't going to hurt
cause the nice lady said so. While ]
was waiting they brought me great big
ice cream cone and then l wen: in to see
Doctor Rupe. He wasn't as old as our
doctor and. he was awful nice and asked
me if | was scared. There were lots of
men in there and DR.. Rupe told them
what was wrong with me and how soon
would be better and then the nice nurse
carried me back to mother and | was
all ready TO come on home and nothing
had hurt yet and mother said that my
throat would be well and wouldn't hurt
any more pretty soon after they did what
the big doctor told her to do.
Then when | got ready to come home
they gave me and all the other little boys
and girls balloon. Mine was red and
am awful glad l went and | am going
back and next time ! am going to tell
Doctor Rupe that amt scared Bit

polyphase circuits, while all existing circuits
were single phase? What if it did require
lower frequency than any existing commercial
circuits? These were merely details of the future
universal alternating system. The important
thing was to obtain an ideally simple type of
alternating current motor, which Tesla's invcn-
tionofered. Tesla furnished the fundamental idea.
He and his associates, working for Mr.. West
inshouse, proved that thoroughly operative
induction motors could be built provided suitable
frequencies and phases were available. What
matter if they did not produce an operative
commercial system at the time? What matter if
it needed the powerful analytical engineers of
later date to bring the system to a truly prac-
ticable stasc-men with intimate constructive
knowledge Of magnetic circuits-men on intimate
terms with reactve coeficients and other magnetic
attributes totally unknown to Tesla and his CO.
workers? In time the motor was made COM
mercial. and it has been tremendous factor in
revoutionizing the electrical industry.
Probably no one electrical device has had more
high-power analytical and mathematical ability
expended upon it than the induction motor.
The practical result has been one of the simplest
and most effective types Of power machinery in
use today. Thus Tesla's fundamental ideas and
Westinghouse s foresight have led to an enormous
advance in the worlds development.

be attained only by the conscious co-opera-
ton of public minded citizens. 1t is this
cooperation which the Garden Club is
fostering.
Stimulation of civic pride is the clubs
cardinal principle. 1t strives TO interest
the people in the beautifying of their
premises not for the benefit of the indi-
vidual property owner primarily, but
rather for the betterment of the city as
whole.
Columbia has many civic organizations,
most Of theEl operating in more or less
restricted sphere. The majority Of them
are probably more directly concerned
with business. They are worthwhile or
CARNATIONS, but their membership is to
some extent exclusive The Garden Club
is open to all. Its lawn contests and flow
er shows welcome all entrants.
The Garden Club is making Columbia
a more attractive place in which to live.
II is producing an environment of which
the community is justly proud. This
year prizes offered at the Flower Show
amount TO 0l50. The money will
go to the winners of various displays. but
there will be no losers, because the prize
money is to be used in further beautify-
ing the city. Thus, all Columbia parti-
cipates in the prizes.

Nikola Tesla

|T>HE NAME of Nikola Tesla will always
i be associated with the invention and earlier
developments of the induction motor. In fact,
al one time this type Of apparatus was known
almost exclusively as the Tesla" motor.
Tesla devised this motor back near the be-
trimmings of the electrical business, when prac-
tically everything was built by ''cut and try"
methods, and none of the accurate analyticap proc
csses Of later days had been developed. 1t may be
said broadly that Tesla knew two fundamental
facts-frs that if magnet were moved across
a sheet of conducting metal, it would tend to
drag this metal along; and,-second, that the
effects of such moving magnet could be pro-
duced by suitably disposed polyphasc currents
acting on a stationary magnetic structure.
Perhaps Others, at that time, also knew these
two facts, but if so. apparently they knew them
only as two isolated facts. Tesla considered
them in combination and the result was the
Tesla motor, or what is now known broadly as
the Induction motor" These two facts, in
combination, represent fundamental concep-
ton, and all of the many millions of horsepower
of induction motors in use today throughout the
world, are based upon these two fundamentals.
Naturally. Westinghouse, having fought single
handed to advance the alternating current system,
was supremely interested in the new type of
motor. What if the new motor did require

TELEPHONE NUMBERS:
GIVING 100 PER CENT.

Geraldine Farrar has just retired from
the Metropolitan opera in a great b.aze
ci glory. Her farewells extended for two
weeks and at each performance she was
showercd with flowers and gifts from en-.
,hrsiastic admirers.
Miss Farrar explained the real cause
of her popularity recently when she told
a Metropolitan audience that she had
always tried TO give her public 100 per
cent of what she was and what she could
80. She gave her best to her work and
has reaped the rewards.
How many of us are giving TOO per
cent to our work? Too many of us are
content to give just enough effort TO main
tain 4 comfortable existence. Many
never reason their potential capacity for
doing great things: There is satisfac-
ton tha. comes when one has done his
work faithfully and well because it feeds
cac's self respect. To be a working part
cf the worlds labor brings a glow of sat
isiaciion.
The result of giving 100 per cent of
what one can do is success eventually.
Success has been defined as largely a
matter of hard work. The man or woman
who daily does his level best is sure
sooner or later to reap the rewards of
his toll.

ton and ridicule, was termed suicid Il
and was spoken of as moving "out to
Wabaunsee county" Before the pIart-
ing of "MacVicar's" trees, the ground
was unbro'leh, desolate prairie. IN
those days it was a long way from the
campus to the city, and town and
gown We're widely separated. Students
who went to town very often were
discussed in faculty meetings and on
one occasion at least a righteous pro-
fessOr met and drove back to the
campus a group of young men VINO
were starting to the city.
When the move was made, there
was only one building on the bleak
prairie, Rice hall, which was de-
stroyed by fire in 1907 and rebuilt
later. The loss of this building was
a heavy blow, but the spirit of Wash
burn was equal to it.
Billiard Oldest Graduate.
The oldest graduate now living is
Julius B. Billiard. who finished his col
leSe course in 1878. He is now living
in North Topeka. He was mayor of
Topeka for four years and has been
identified with the city's civic growth
for many years.
When the boom days came, the college
had an opportunity to get rich from
the sale of the lots owned by the col
lege near the campus. President Mac
Vicar. however, was determined to
build up a college neighborhood and
would not throw the lots on the open
market.
A catalog issued In 1898 shows
many contrasts in the college then and
now. The attendance had grown to
$50. Students paid $40 a year for
tuition, and board with private fami-
lies could be obtained for $2,25 to SIS

A tireIess worker for the college
during these early years was Col. Har
vey d. Rice, who not only contributed
generously from his own means, but
was of great service in interesting

people were unable to give much 10

had to be placed upon Weather peo-
pie in the east.
