Breaking into the movies—what a thrill! Tuesday afternoon a group of women gymnasts of the University assembled on the roof of the Everglades Hotel, preparatory to demonstration to the world, by way of moving pictures, the athletic training received in Miami’s schools.
Photographers from the Pathe, International, Fox, Associated Press and Paramount News were there, rigging up their paraphernalia. The Everglades Hotel orchestra, framed in palms, provided the “atmosphere” for the gymnastics.
The beautiful scenery, as viewed from the roof—the bay, with its sea-green water spotted with ships and seaplanes, Biscayne boulevard with its myriad of automobiles and human forms, the horizon, dotted here and there with airplanes—provided a suitable setting for movies advertising Miami’s beauty and its health possibilities.
Movietone apparatus lay all about. Wires stretched over the floor from the microphones to the cameras. Men were stationed even
on the topmost point of the Everglades lower to take air views of the exhibition.

HCJNOR SCIENCE CLUB METJTS
Neon Tubes and Spark Plugs Subject of Student Lectures
The Honor Science Club had its first meeting of the year Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock at the University. There were two lectures by the new members of the elnb; with Gilbert Bromingham speaking on "Neon Tubes” and Leonard Bisz on “Spark Plugs.”
In his talk, Gilbert told of the beautiful colors seen by passing an electric spark through a glass tube that was being evacuated by a pump. Also different gases ir. the tube give different colors, he said. The inventor puts this property of thegases to use in making the neon tube signs. The neon gas alone gives a red color, while other colors are obtained by putting a small amount of other materials in with the neon gas. For small signs the entire sign is one tube with the distances between the letters thoroughly painted so as not to appear lighted. The light from these tubes is penetrating and can be seen through fog much easier than that from an ordinary electric bulb. A neon sign costs much less to run than a bulb sign.
“Recent experiments have shown that the spark plug is what makes the gasoline motor possible,” said Leonard Bisz is his talk. “Of late years,” he continued,' “the development of the spark plug has been eclipsed by that of the gas engine, doe to the fact that suitable insulating materials for the spark plug cannot be found. The perfect spark ping awaits the discovery of a good insulator that will withstand changes in temperature without

SPECTROSCOPE LOANED TO U
Equipment To Be Used By Science Department In Experiments
Through the co-operation of the various individuals involved in the settlement of the estate of James A. Allison, the special spectroscope which was purchased as a part of the equipment has been loaned to Dr. O. J. Sieplein, professor of chemistry of the University of Miami, for use in his experiments on the analysis of the Miami sunshine.
The instrument is one of the finest made; it has lenses of quartz (rock crystal) instead of glass, as glass absorbs the ultra-violet portion of the sunlight. These lenses and prisms separate the sunlight into its various parts and make possible the measurement of the several radiations. It was manufactured by Carl Zeiss of Jena, Germany—world leader in the making of all sorts of optical instruments. There are only a few peetr® scopes of this quality in the roa&f VoWhbly the only ones in the United States are those of the Bureau of Standards at Washington and at Tucson, Arizona. The work done by W. W. Coblentz at the Bureau of Standards is the accepted authority throughout the world, in the field of measurement of solar and artificial ultra-violet. The spectroscope at Tucson and a similar instrument at St. Moritz, Switzerland, have given the data on which these two places have based their claims of the health-promoting powers of their sunshine.
As soon as the instrument can be put into service, the measurements of the quality of our sunshine will be started.

Quintet Loses 26-22
Havana Beats Hurricanes In Fast Game Before I-arge Crowd
Many Shots Missed
Port ilia. Opponents’ Center, Is High Point Man of Game
The University of Havana boys walloped the Hurricanes, 26 to 22, Tuesday night on the University patio. A large crowd saw the boys, tutored by Coach Compuzano, do some of the best passing, pivoting and shooting to be seen in Miami this year. Their speed and passes were so accurate that the locals did not get the knack of intercepting them until the game was well under way.
Portilla, the great Havana center, played one of the best games that has ever been seen in these parts. He was swift and seemed to be everywhere at once. If be did not shoot the basket, he passed to the man who did. He was high point man of the game.
Miami made her first point after 16 minutes of play when Catha and Bailey were sent into the game. Each tossed a basket after many attempts. The Hurricanes began shooting long shots early in the game and failed to follow up their shots, while the Cubans were playing a pretty passing game to get the ball in position for nice potshots which they made.
Miami was playing a better game near the end of the first half and brought the score to 17-12, when the crack of the pistol sounded the end to half of the play.
The second half was the same as the first. The locals were outplayed till the last few minutes, when Franklin and Hansen entered the game and a rally brought the score to 24 to 22. The Havans boys called time out and the rally ceased. When play was resumed Hansen broke through the Havana defense and dribbled up to the basket and it seemed as if Miami would win, but the tossed ball hit the rim of the basket and fell back into the hands of a Cuban player, only to shatter the chances for victory. It was in the hands of the opponents until they scored two more points just before the whistle blew.
The boys missed many shots. Mercurio missed 5 out of 5; Younts, 2 out of 3; Ashman, 22 out of 25; Oram, 11 out of 11; Solie, 8 out of 8; Catha, 6 out of 7; Bailey, 4 out of 5; Franklin, 3 out of 3; and Hansen, 1 out cf 2. They just couldn’t get the ball to go through the loop.
