HENRY CLAY

THOMPSON

FORMER STUDENT MEETS
DEATH

IN ENGLAND

News Reaches Parents of
Death of Lieutenant H. G.
Thompson as Result of
Motor Accident
Lieutenant Henry Clay Thompson,
of Winchester, prominent in University activities in 1914-1was killed in
a motor accident in England. Thomp
son, who was a student in mining engineering, was a member, of Kappa Sig
ma fraternity and of the honorary so
cieties Keys and Mystic Thirteen.
The body wil lbe brought back to
Winchester for reburial, as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made.
The letter giving full details of the
young officer's death was written by
W. W. Stainthorpe, M. D., at whose
home Lieutenant Thompson died. Mrs.
Stainthorpe wrote the first letter to his
mother telling of his death.
Lieutenant Thompson was returning
to Camp Marake from Guisburg. He
was driving a motorcycle, and was accompanied by a young officer of the
aviation corps, who occupied the sidecar of the machine.
The accident occurred at about 9:30
o'clock in the evening. It is supposed
young Thompson lost his sense of direction, as tho car ran into a pile of
brush at the side if tho road. A passerby a few moments later found tho
machine on fire and the two officers
beneath the wreckage. Tho injured
men were rescued from a death by
fire .however, and young Thompson
was taken to the homo of Dr. Stainthorpe. Ho suffered a hemorrhage of
tho brain and fractured skull, and
never regained consciousness. Tho
r
did not state tho outcome of his
companion's injuries.

Captain W. H. McAdams, who for
some time past has been the assistant
of Col. F. H. Worsey, head of the development division of the Chemical
War Service, arrived in Lexington a
few days ago to spend Thanksgiving
with his porents, Mr. and Mrs. H. K.
McAdams, of 309 North Broadway,
and to recuperate 'from the strain
under which he has been working, as
Colonel Dorsey has been 111 with in
fluenza, leaving the entire charge of
the department to his young assistant
When the United States entered the
war, Mr. McAdams, who is a graduate
of the Chemical Department, Univer
sity of Kentucky offered his services
and for a while was in charge of the
development work at the American
University, Washington. Later he was
transferred to his present position in
i
Cleveland, where he played an impor
tant part in the development of the
American gas mask, which is recog-nize- d
as being four times more efficient than the best masks of foreign
make. Remarkable progress was also
made in the making of poison gases,
particularly mustard gas, which was
first made in a laboratory under his
management.
Colonel Dorsey in a recent interview
said of Captain McAdams, "He is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant
young chemical engineers in this country, and his work has been Invalua
ble. He is at once a remarkable exe
cutive and a fine chemist. His devotion to the task set before him was
wonderful and his contribution to tho
winning of the war has been no Inconsiderable one."

DIVISIONS TO RETURN

ARE

WHIPPED

It is thru the Paris, Kentucky Citizen that the Kernel is able to present
the following interesting letter from
Reuben Hutchcraft, a member of the
University's faculty, now seeing active
service In France:
A letter received from Captain Reuben Hutchcraft is of more than ordinary interest, as it tells of the part
taken by the Rainbow Division, which
has been desinated as "one of the
crack units of the American Army,"
in the reduction of the St Mihiel sec
tor.
The letter from Capt. Hutchcraft
dated September 20, followed a brief
note in which he merely referred to
his promotion, but praised the excel
lent work of his men in the engagement.
"The promised long rest about
which I have been writing you," says
the Captain in his letter, 'was rudely
interrupted to put us in the biggest
show we have taken part in yet, and
K company had the front line all the
way. You have read in the newspapers what a complete success the
operation was and how the St. Mihiel
salient was completely wiped out and

"The figures that I dare to give tell
a lot. K company captured more than
two hundred prisoners, twenty-sevemachine guns, four cannons, three
towns, over two hundred rifles, fourteen freight cars loaded with engineering tools and material, and large quantities of ammunition and other booty.
We advanced a little over fourteen
kilometers. But figures can't tell you
how splendid my boys were.

IN SOCIOLOGY

Municipal Court of Philadelphia Offers Fellowships for Special In-

vestigations
Professor Edward Wiest, head of the
Department of Sociology, University of
Kentucky, has received the following
communication which explains itself,
and which the Kernel is asked to re
produce:
"Dear Sir:
"Desire for scientific guidance in the
administration of Justice by the Municipal Court of Philadelphia led to the
establishment, four years ago, of a
department of Research and Statistics.
This important work has recently been
placed under the supervision of our
Chief Probation Officer, Dr. Louis N.
Robinson, formerly Professor of Econo
mics at Swarthmore College.
"To enlarge the scope of the Re
search work, we desire to create a
number of positions comparable to Fel
lowships in Universities and Colleges.
These positions are offered only to
graduate students of Universities and
Colleges of good standing, and appointment will be made in the same manner as Fellowships usually are granted.
The appointees will be compensated
and detailed to special investigations.
The subjects selected for Investigation will be referred for approval to
those directing the courses of the students at their respective Colleges and
Universities.

"We invite the scientific world to

We are convinced that studies by well

from the establishment of these posi
tions, in greater efficiency of service
of the court to the community, in the
enrichment of scientific knowledge
and in pointing the way to humanizing
the practice and procedure of similar
courts thruout the country.
"Will you kindly bring this matter
to the attention of students, either
personally or possibly thru your college publication? We want you to be
convinced that this is an unusual opportunity in virtually a virgin field for
those preparing theses for the degrees
of Master of Arts and Doctor of Phil
