E, To Home Chnrgc of Junior Weelt Arrangements This Wiley A meeting of the Junior class was held last Tuesday morning at 8:30 to elect the Junior Marshal whose du- ties include management of the ac~ tivities taking place during Junior week. Though there were but 55 members of the class present during the meeting, nominations were made and J. G. Sitzler elected to the office. When but two nominations had been made, President VanderVelde recognized a motion that nominations be closed. This was seconded, and a rising vote carried the motion. As a result of the protests of many that sufficient members were not present to carry on any business, the meeting was adjourned for a period of fifteen minutes, in hopes that in that time more members would at- rive.

During his talk on “Neon Signs,” be traced through their development and the growth of their popularity. Neon, the gas which is used in these signs, is a lay-product of the liquifica~ tion of oxygen and had but a limited commercial use till this present de- velopment took place. When neon alone is used in the tubes, 3 reddish-orange light is so- cured. The addition of mercury to the tube changes the color to blue. When a green sign is desired, the glass used is amber colored. Compute Amount of Goo After the length of glass tubing necessary for a sign has been deter- mined, the potential to be applied, the sizes of the electrodes, and the amount ofvthc gas to he used may be computed by means of mathematical formulae. Originally the potential applied was such as is developed by an induc- tion coil. This gave a flickering light; however, in modern signs, a high potential alternating current is secured by stepping; up the 110 volt alternating current to some value, such as 14,000 volts with a. trans- former, The commercial use: of these signs are very numerous and are rapidly increasing, resulting in a very heavy demand. In addition to the ordinary advertising signs, other possibilities have been seen for their use. One of the most notable is due to the ability of the light radiated from one of these tubes to penetrate air in which there is much suspended material, such as £02: or smoke. Thus aviation beacons with this type of light are visible when ordinary light from in- candescent bulbs would fail.

This game, the second to be played against Coach Krafl’t’s alma mater this season, tends to bear only a mor- al relation to the other games that have been played during the winter campaign.

Surely, there is no better remedy to cure the bewilderment that has overshadowed the joy that was en- titled them in the many hard fought games that they lost. Napcrville How: Good Record Napervillc will make its appear, once with a band 01' tall and husky veterans; a team that has enjoyed a far better season than Armour has, a team that has already defeated Ar- mour. But despite the odds that may he wagered against our boys, they have a stirring feeling that they can defy any obstructions set up against them and wage a fight that will prove disastrous to their guests. All that is necessary is the resump- tion of that last five minute attack that they launched in Noperville sev- eral weeks ago when they nearly took that team off its feet. Coach Krafit, like Manager Cal Johnson, is optimistic on the final re sults, while the members of the team remain undecided yet spirited with a palmy anticipation.

The dinner opened promptly at 7 :30 P. M. World's Fair in Therm: The theme of the evening was the approaching World’s Fair of 1033, to be displayed on the Lake Front of Chicago. Since the plans for that event involve the engineering and arm chitcctural professions to a very great extent, and consequently hold tremendous interest to the alumni, the program committee considered it a very appropriate topic for discus» sion at the annual banquet. Dr. A. D. Albert Spamho Dr. Allen Dichl Albert, who re- cently spoke to Lhc Armour students at an assembly on the World’s Fair, was the principle speaker of the eve» ning'. Dr. Albert, being assistant to President Rufus C. Dawes of the Chi; cage World‘s Fair Centennial \Cclel bration. is particularly capable of in» forming the guests of the coming fair. Since 1906 he has in the cause of city growth and pro» grams of city development, and ‘s new devoting his full time to the pro- motion of the World’s Fair. Invitations were sent to other members serving; on the committees in connection with the World’s Fair promotion.

W. lidllllllili dddWlillS lllldldgd Dr. Palmer of the First Congrcgw tional Church at Oak Park gave an interesting: eulogy on George Wash- ington at the pic—holiday assembly held last Thursday. Dr. Palmer op— ened his talk by thanking the assem- blage with the following; words, “It has been said that if c speaker gets applause before his speech, that’s Faith; if he gets it during- his talk, that’s Hope; but if he gets it at the end of his attempt, that's Charity!” Hits “Debunking School" He went on to answer many of Rupert Hughcs' arguments to the de» gradation of Washington’s character. In answer to Hughes’ arguments that Washington was a whiskey distiller, Dr. Palmer said that all the people of that day distilled whiskey in order to commercialize their poducts as fur as possible. The title, “Whiskey Dis~ tiller,” did not carry the implications in that day that it carries at present. In answer to Hughcs’ statement that George Washington was an inveterate drinker, Dr, Palmer said that it was; true that Washington drunk, but it ’15 never recorded that he was ever incapable of action when duty coiled. in closing, the assembly was re minded that whenever a person achieves note, or comes into the pub- lic eye, there will always be someone who will attempt to garner :1 portion of the limelight for himself through the degradation of the character of the greater person. nbninli ml ,_.
