made two points. The only race
that did not have time clipped
from the old record was the back
stroke but the old record was ap
proached in this race to within
one-hslf a second.
The most outstanding of the
races, considering time that the
oal records were lowered, was the

Twelve and one-tenth seconds were
chopped ott the record in this race
by ine Longhorn team. Next was
the 400 yard individual free style
in which Allen of Texas came in
right seconds below the old record.
Although the Longhorns were
"doped” to win the meet, they
staged two major upsets in the
meet that were a surprise to both
coaches and tans. In the breast
stroke, Captain Ledbetter of the

An S-reel film entitled ‘The
Story of Petroleum" was present
ed to petroleum and geology stu
dents Tuesday afternoon at the As
sembly Hall under auspices of the
Petroleum and Geology Club.
This film depicted every phase
of the oil industry today, begin-
ring with methods of locating pro-
bsble oil structure*, and taking in
'turn descriptions of rotary and
cable tool drilling, transportation
of the crude oil, refining, and dis
tribution and sale of gasoline and
he various other bi-products ob
tainable from crude oil.
Many interesting Ulustratioxs
were given to impress the rapid
growth of this rather young in-
iustry, the first well having been
drilled just HO years ago. For in
dance. should crude oil be placed
in an 8 inch pipe which circled the
| globe 25 times, the total amount
would represent only one fourth of
the crude oil drilled ia one year.
The major improvement to be
made in the industry today, it was
shown, is the elimination of the
“hit or miss” element in the sink
ing of new wells. Of the 800,000
wells having been drilled to date.
20 per cent have been failures, or
“dry holes."

Philadelphia.—(IP)—"Even if
college does not show you how to
•am a living, it should teach you
hoW to live," Dr. Charles E. Beury,
president of Temple University,
■aid in a radio broadcast last
week.
“My obeei*vations lead me to be
lieve that the happiest folks arc
those who aye investing their tal
ents for others, rather than en
riching themselves. Our traditional
institutions certainly multiply our
opportunities for enjoyment, in
crease our powers of appreciation,
magnify our ability to serve, teach
us proportion, correct our judge
ments, -give us poise and confi
dence and stability, enlarge our
vision and increase our useful-
improving economic conditions, it
is a particular source of satisfac
tion to the over 50,000 men and
women employed by the express
company. In recent months, they
have been engaged in an intensive
business-building campaign to
reach all Bsers of transportation
and the general public as well.
This movement, which the em
ployes havd called their “New Deal
.in Express Business’ was inaugu-
ated by Mr. Head last No vern
ier. During a series of employee
neetings and conferences, practi-
ally the eitire working organisa-
ion of the express company was
icrsonally addressed by Mt. Head
ind other executives, to announce
.-lew advertising and exploitation
olans to fdrther popularise ex- [ the depression,
press service. The keynote of the
Jrive was to help speed recovery
by stimulating increased shipping.
Whatever the causes, this result
has to no small extent been acdpin-
plished, being particularly notice
able jin manufacturing lines pro
ducing seasonal goods. Ready-to-
wear manffarturers particularly
have been preparing for what pro
mises to be an exceptional Easter
season. Growing confidence is also
indicated iq many staple lines, as
well as the broadening of retail
sales in many of the large cities.
Apparently we have ^reached
the turn”, Mr. Head said, "and the
general outlook in our business is
feast upon salads and french
dressing, with apples or oranges
for dessert. Lettuce is, by far, the
favorite on the campus, and string
beans and other vegetables of the
green nature are eagerly devour
ed.
very promising. That is particul-
larly significant, when you con
sider that express movements
have always been considered a bar
ometer of commercial trends, an
ticipating heavier shipping in the
months following."
Nearly one hundred million ex
press shipments were handled by
the express company in 1933, con
sidered by many the worst year of
“tragic in consequence."
Pure race propaganda. Profes
sor Mohr charged is being spread
"by men who are not scientists
and who are often unaware of the
significance of what they are do
ing."
“They do not have the craving
for genuineness of a true scien
tist," he added.
Professor Mohr has returned
home after delivering a series of
lectures on genetics in medicine
at Harvard University. He plans
shortly to publish a book dealing
with the “pure race myth."
Referring to the doctrines of the
Hitler regime in Germany, the
scientist described them a* “the
tragedy of unscientific propagan-
i da for race purity and race
superiority in the country with the
foremost culture in Europe.
"There is no such thing as an
Aryan race in the scientific sense.
No pure races exiat ia civilised
countries. Continued indiscrimi
nate marriage and 'oat-breeding’
or breeding without reference to
any particular desired quality has
long ago destroyed original pure
stocks.
“Pure strains exist only in ani
mals such as dogs, which men
have been breeding for certain
i particular qualities for many
generations.
* The human animal ia a ‘cur,’ a
mixed breed. And that ia best, for
a cur is the best animal for all
around purposes. Pure strains in
one direction are generally develop
ed only at the expense of other
qualities."
He cited the cases of taro famous
thoroughbred racehorses.
“They had bred in them the
quality of fleetneas and game-
ness," he said. “Botn won the
I>erby. even though they were
‘bleeders.' One of them lost much
blood a month before his race,
while the other bled to death a
week after his."
Professor Mohr also attacked
