THRIVE»? NIGHTS
Marry Stephen Keoler
E. P. Button «(3 00., 1929

In the current literary offerings,
one finds a host 01‘ the "mystery"
stories, and many discriminating
readers have been surfeited with
this type of writing. The advent
of the publication of “Thieves’
Nights," by Harry Stephen Keeler,
may be hailed as a veritable life
saver, for this book has all the
charm of the mysterious element
without the degrading touches of
,“ma'ster- detectives” and gigantic,
invincible scientists.

chler is really unique; I have
never read anything that parallels
his style of developing the theme.
Taking this book for an example,
we find a multitude of tales one
within another, and at the outset
it seems impossible to correlate
them into a unified story. .Yet you
‘are smoothly led from one to the
«next, and before you realize the
fact, they have been all amalga—
mated, and the main plot proceeds
‘to unwind. It is about this central
theme that Keeler has spun a mul—
tiplicity of minor incidents about
.one DeLancy, master thief.

DeLancy gives Keeler the oppor—
tunity to weave his bizzare tale of
freakish events; the unusual and
eccentric happenings that he por-
trays are beyond adequate descrip«
tion. Keeler is an Armour man, but
wherein these walls he found the
inspiration to write such fantastic
plots, to create situations as incon-
ceivable, and the gift to place his
reader in a gloriously dazed trance,
a mere undergrad. can scarcely
conjecture.

To those who delight in trying to
unravel the common mystery novel,
due warning is given. It is an ab—
solute iinpossibility; you neither
know exactly what needs solution,
for the' book is devoid of an un-
solved murder, nor do you have the
faintest hazard of a guess as to the
trend of the narration.

The situation is most clearly
summed up by this quotation from
Bruce Gould. “Since. reading this
odd renew?" he writes, (“I feel'it
necessary to revise the old phase
about the sky and the limit. It is
Keeler, and not the sky, who sets
the boundaries from now on."

Although the book has been out
but a bare month, the Armour li-
brary has a copy, appropriately
dedicated by the author. A. B. A.

     

ERES. Holds lat
Meeting at: Year

 

The first meeting this fall of the
Fire Protection Engineering Society
was held in room H of the main
building on Friday, October 10, 1929
at 9:30.

The speaker for the meeting was
Mr. J. G. Quackenboss, former head
of the Tennessee Inspection Bu-
reau, who is now with the Western
Factory Insurance Association. Mr.
Quackenboss spoke on the subject
of “The Work of an Inspector,”
giving the students, who in a short
time will be inspectors making rates
on the big industrialrisksof this city
and others, pointers on the work of
the various bureaus from the in—
spector’s viewpoint. He says that he
was, no doubt, an ' t for
more years than any man who was
at the meeting would be willing to
acknowledge.

J. E. Ransel, president, issued a
plea for the members of the society
to .pay their dues for the year.
This money is for the expenses of
the annual smoker and the shin-
gles to which each member is en-
titled. A member of each class will
be appointed to collect these dues.

was begun officially last Thursday
when 2 civils were deprived of their
proud appendages. As a matter of
fact, each victim was deprived of
only one—half of his mustache.
Those thus honored were Leonard
Dicke, a junior civil, and Brown, a
new student in the civil depart—
ment. The scene of action was the
“Civil Alley" and the actors were
the above two mentioned victims
and the remainder 01' the civil class.
Upon the completionyof the opera-
tion. Dicke was released and the
attention turned to Brown. While
everybody was interested in the
struggle, Dicke seized upon an op—
portunity when he grabbed a near—
by fire-extinguisher and turned it
on the mob. Immediately the at-
tention was turned upon him. After
relieving him of his plaything, he
in turn received a bath from the
extinguisher.

Glee Mule Elects
Mariette President

The Glee Club held their election
of officers on Thursday, Oct. 10, at
a regular rehearsal and elected the
following men:

W. R. Manske ’30, president.

A. N. Sokolofl’ ’32, secretary.

M. A. Hotchkins ’30, manager.

The duties of the secretary of the
Glee Club consist in calling the roll
and checking the music.

The manager will have to visit
the radio stations of Chicago and
arrange programs for the great
“invisible” audience.

Dr. Daniel Protheroe was not
present to direct the Glee Club
Thursday evening, as he was sud-
denly called out of town. Prof.
Leigh conducted in his stead.

Dr. Protheroe is a very active di-
rector, as he is always in demand
to conduct song tests, song competi-
tions, and other events of similar
nature. This summer he was the
guest'conductor at a song fest in
Scotland.

 

memorials of the late Mr. Burnham.

Mrs. D. H. Burnham loaned the
famous Zorn portrait of her de-
ceased husband for the occasion.

Mr. Hubert Burnham also loaned
books, photographs and etchings of
the work of the late Daniel H.
Burnham as Director of Work in
the World’s Fair of 1893. This
group included the Chicago City
plans for which he is noted, and it
is hoped that some of these are
to be permanently located in the
new Burnham Library. The cup
given to Mr, Daniel H. Burnham
in recognition of his work done for
the Colombian Exposition in 1893 is
now on exhibition.

The Burnham Library has now
over 5,000 noted volumes of archi—
tecture. The newest acquisition
was the recent purchase of the
Fontalne Library, consisting of
about 350 volumes. These books
formed the personal library of Fon-
taine, architect of Napoleon, and

 

includes some of his drawings and
etchings. » «

the men for the various offices by
petition, but the discussion follow-
ing proved this to be futile because
of the lack of time for a meeting
in the future. A motion was then
brought up and passed that the
men be nominated from the floor.
The chairman then called for

Charles Jens, Jr., ”SE—«REE.

A theory that there is funda—
mentally only one disease, due to
loss of electrical balance in the
body, has been presented to the
International Post Graduate.Med-
ical Association of North America.
The author is Dr. J. E. R. Me-
Donagh, surgeon of the London
Lock Hospitals. His ideas bring
together some of the recent find-
ings of the many ways in which.
slight electrical eflects manifest
themselves in the body.

He holds that . * dis~

men 19,321 students enrolled
during the first {our days of can:
tration, at the University oi -n.
nois, it seemed imminent that all
records for first semester regatta—v
tier: would be broken, what with
some five hundred expected to say

lars and enroll yesterday. Classes

case is the one vital factor in
health, and that if the resistance
is high enough, no kind of infec—
tion can get started.

This resistance, he says, depends
on the state of the protein parti-
cles. The proteins are called the
life carriers or the body. They are
complex substances, forming an
important part of body cells.

“If an invader," says Dr. McDon~
agh, “either of a bacterial or a
chemical nature, is able to subject
the protein particles to a dehydra-
tion, disease is caused—the term
infection being used when the in—
vader is a micro-organism. When
the protein particles are subjected
to dehydration, they part with cer-
tain absorbed constituents.

“One of the first of these to be
freed is electricity; a change of
energy occurs, heat instead of elec~
trical energy being liberated, thus
explaining why, when micro-or-
ganisms gain a footing in the body,
the victim exhibits a rise in tem-
perature.

“The fight between the invaded
and the invader boils down to be-

Eng one for the retention of elec-
tricity. If the parasites lose their
electricity, their bodies break up
and go into true solution as do the
protein particles of the War when
the invader gets the upper hand.
“Since the battle is of such a
simple nature, it becomes quite
clear that the sole aim of treat-
ment is to restore to the body's
protein particles, the electrons they
have lost."
