In spite of these widely differ-
mg opinions, it was evident that
the students had thought care
fully about the matter of going
to war and were expressing
themselves honestly.
War Rooted in Human Nature

ber of the junior class and foot
ball letter-man, doesn't believe
that much can be done about
preventing war. 1 would en

me to originate in the faults of

than, any
line about
the fate of the country lying in
the hands of youth is applicable
now," Dean Francis Bradshaw
told the delegates to the con
gress of the North Carolina
Student Federation at their
luncheon yesterday, the con
cluding day of the congress.
Centering his talk around
the progress which evolved
from a cult in France called St.
Simonism in the early 19th cen
tury, Bradshaw pointed out that
the spirit behind the movement,
young St. Simon, conceived his
ideas in his youth, continued
them throughout his life,
changing them as he saw bet
ter ideas for the betterment of
mankind.
Development of Ideas
Having its beginning as a
new religious cult, Simonism
tended to deal with mysticism
and immorality for a time; but
the youthful ideas of the group
changed and they saw that a
scientific group, with an aim to
help mankind settle its problems
would begin a movement to
change the course of civiliza
tion. One of the first works
that they sponsored was the
construction of the Suez canal
and from that other industrial
movements were begun. In
spite of its idiosyncrasies, Sim
onism put into human thought

Bill Roberts of Marshall,

as a result of an auto accident.
He was thrown from the car, a

wagon just this side of Hope
Valley on the Durham road last
night.
Roberts died before anyone
could pick him up. He was
bleeding badly and his skull
must have been fractured. My
ers was not seriously injured.
John Boynton, the third mem
ber of the party was seriously
injured, but the Duke hospital
reported that it would not be
fatal. This is the third serious
accident in two days.

sembles the modern Bunsen
burner. This apparatus prov
ed to be most inefficient, be
cause it burned with a large
smoky flame without producing
seems that the chief defect of
this burner was caused by the
air intake.
Bunsen's Burner Crude
The apparatus in general was
a rather unfinished construc
tion. It consisted simply of a
chimney with two jets at the
base which served as intake
valves. It was a difficult mat
ter to adiust such an intake
precisely so that it would pro
duce a serviceable flame.
Dr. Venable studied the ma
chinery invented by Bunsen
and discovered a way of im
proving it. His remedy for the
situation led to his invention of
what is now regarded the mod
ern Bunsen burner. In this
new invention, not merely - a
modification of the original,
Dr. Venable placed a screw at
the base of the burner which af
forded a fine adjustment for de
licate control of the flame.
v Announced in 1867
The improvement of the Bun
sen burner and the subsequent
results appeared in an article
in the Elisha Mitchell Scientific
Society Journal in 1867 by Dr.
Venable. He stated in that
publication: "The main feature
is that the supply of gas is reg
ulated at the base of the burner
by a milled wheel and that this
supply is diminished only at the
issuing jet inside the chimney.
Not realizing the great finan
cial value in his invention, Dr.
Venable sold the right for its

passed by the separate discus
sion groups which met during
