sttxient often feels the need of an
established relationship between his'
education and his religion. For most
young people, the system of relation-
ships and values established whiie at
college serves them as a basis for life.
The students are especially fortun-
ate when the same men who instruct
them in tlieir daily classes are capable
of aiding them in the solution of the
religious problems connected with
those subjects, and they are willing
to undertake that task. Several mem-
tuts of the faculty at Rice have, at
liffeiettt times, given the students the
hettt fit fif their study and thought in
lectutes of this educational-religious
nature. Such lectures help to meet
a real need at Rice and they are ap-
preciated by the students.
In a series of lectures by Dr.
Slaughter, the student has the oppor-
tunity of hearing a scientific and ap-
preciative consideration of the sub-
ject. most entertainingly presented.

A 35-yard pass from James to

Oklahoma touchdown a few minatea
later. Score: Oklahoma, 27; Rice, 0.

for McGee and received a 25-yard
pass from Kennedy on which he came
near fighting loose from his tacklers
for a touchdown. Subsequent passes
failed and Oklahoma took the ball on
their 20-yard tine, where it was punt-
eft out of danger. The quarter closed
with a Sooner first down on their 32-
yard line.
Fourth Quarter.
Short passes gave Oklahoma an-
hir.g -taft. The Owts hading,, fi^t down, and tine plunges by
trom the start by the in-} Hendricks and Morrison another.
Passes were intercepted by both
teams. Hendricks passed to Tyler for
20 yards and Tyter to Hendricks for
first down on Rice's 3-yard line. Alex-
ander downed Tyler for a 5 yard loss,
but Hit! passed to Hendricks for a
tu;; of sevetal men and they did not
fmd their stride until la'te in the sea-
<<)!. Httt why took for :tn alibi? The
. ames are lost. However, there are
nth 'ts that are won, and notably
:h'-te is one game that stands a6 a
tie which in itsetf makes up for the
other games that were lost. If there
is a discontented student in the Insti-
tute who is grumbling about the
tames, foetie hut ttie grumbler him-j
-elf knows if.
But the outsiders who do not know
i!l the facts of the case should be cor-
rected in their ideas. The best ieorrec-
t;nr, for their mistaken opinion is n
five-minute talk with a Rice student.
The 'thresher attempts to represent
the feelings of the students and it is
with a clear conscience that the state-
ment is made that Rice students are
behind the coaches am! that they are
expecting great things of the 1!)22
scas itt. They are behind the coaches
to a man, itnd they wilt be behind
these same coaches until the results
< f a footttaltseftson are fur different
fttim the one that has just passed.

The Thresher is glad to note the
announcement of the scries of lectures
on "Social Service and Christianity"
to be given by Dr. J. W. Slaughter at
the Autry House each Sunday morn-
ing until Christmas. In most classes
in a university the attitude is taken
itiatthe teaching of the facts of
Christianity is the concern of the
churches alone and that the instruc-
tor shoutd restrict himseif to the non-
retigious phases of the subject which
he teaches. However, it is impossible
to escape the fact that retigion, and
especiatty the Christian religion, is
very closely associated with the sub-
jects of the university classroom, and
it is a most vitai factor in the life
of the individual and of society. The

if you wear Cantilever Shoes.
Have you said, "Every step is tor-
ture." when you walked in ordinary
shoes that bind the foot and fail to
provide the support which the arch
needs ?
A change to Cantiiever Shoes will
relieve your foot troubles.
There is room for the toes, and the
natural inner sole line permits them
to point straight ahead in their natur-
ai position. In a shoe that twists the
foot to turn the toes outward all the
weight fatls on the weakest part of
the arch and pain soon results. But
in the Cantiiever Shoe the weight is
shared by the heet, the ball of the big
toe and the outside of the foot, thus
taking the usuat unnatural strain off
the arch.
The flexible shank of Cantilever
Shoes bends with the movement of the
muscles. The foot is not restrained
by a meta) appliance nor by a rigid
sole, but is free to exercise and
strengthen in walking. Using the
muscles which surround the small
bones of the arch prevents and cor-
rects fiat foot.
Cantilever Shoes are good looking,
too.

How Were X'Rays Discovered?
QlR James Mackenzie Davidson visited Professor Roentgen to hnd
k-3 out how he discovered the X-rays.
Roentgen had covered a vacuum tube, called a Hittorf or Crookes
tube, with Mack paper so as tef cut off aH its light. About four yards
away was a piece of cardboard coated with a fluorescent compound.
He turned on the current in the tube. The cardboard glowed brightly.
Sir James asked him: "What did you think?"
"1 didn't think, I investigated," said Roentgen. He wanted to
know what made the cardboard glow. Cnly planned experiments
could give the answer. We all know the practical result. Thousands
of lives are saved by surgeons who use the X-rays.
Later on, one of the scientists in the Research Laboratory of the
General Electric Company became interested in a certain phenomenon
sometimes observed in incandescent lamps. Others had observed it,
but he, like Roentgen, investigated. The result was the discovery
of new laws governing electrical conduction in high vacuum.
Another scientist in the same laboratory saw that on the basis of those
new laws he could build a new tube for producing X-rays more effec-
tively. This was the Coolidge X-ray tube which marked the greatest
advance in the X-ray art since the original discovery by Roentgen.
Thus, scientific investigation of a strange phenomenon led to the
discovery of a new art, and scientific investigation of another strange
phenomenon led to the greatest improvement in that art. ^
It is for such reasons that the Research Laboratories of the General
Electric Company are continually investigating, continually exploring
the unknown. It is new knowledge that is sought. But practical
results follow in an endless stream, and in many unexpected ways.
