CORRECT MATERKAL

Work on the Cycle is at the
present time limited mainly to the
securing of data and the correction
of this material to conform with
standards arrived at by the editors.
The great difficulty experienced by
departmental editors and their
assistants is the actual acquisition
of information which is apparently
readily available. However, by as»
siduous eflort these pertinent facts
are gradually accumulating. Con—
sidering the tremendous amount of
energy required and that school
work must also be carried along
with this work one will readily ad-
mit that a great task faces the
Cycle staff in preparing the 1930
Year Book.

Biography blanks were distrib—
uted to very nearly half of the
Senior Class at their last meeting;
most of these have been turned in
to the staff. A great number of the
men have been approached indi-
vidually to secure data concerning
their school activities. There still
remain about 60 who have not
turned in this information.

To seniors who have not re—
received activity blanks, the fol—
or rmation .hmshhe placed
white number 6 paper:

Full Name

Home Town

Course

Honorary Fraternities

Social Fraternity

School Activities

These sheets of necessity must be
turned into P. E. Heath or A. H.
Jens by tomorrow, Wednesday, No-
vember 27, by 1:10 p. m. For con—
venience to some these may be
placed in locker 44 in the basement
of the main building. To those who
have not taken care of this matter
it is imperative that they do so
immediately.

When all this data has been
compiled and carefully checked an
announcement of interest to
seniors will appear in this paper.
The exact nature of this announce—
ment cannot, however, be disclosed
at the present.

  

Vesicles Writes on
Heating Materials

 

Professor J. C. Peebles, contribut—
ing editor of “Heating, Piping, and
Air Conditioning,” will have pub-
lished in the December issue of
that magazine the second install—
merit of his article on “Heat Trans—
mission Through Building Ma-
terlals.” The first installment ap—
peared in the September issue.

The article is taken from one
written by Swedish government en-
gineers and published in a Swedish
engineering periodical. Professor
Peebles has compared their me-
thods of experimentally determin—
ing the amount of heat transmit-
ted with our own methods of de—
termination.

Professor Peebles has spent a
large portion of his time while at
Armour in dealing with such prob-
lems.

The stall of the News wishes to
extend its sincere sympathy to
Miss Nell Steele, librarian, who lost;
her father last Friday morning.

Professor M. B. Wells attended
the funeral of his brother. who died
in Indianapolis last Friday. Prof.
Wells will return the early part of
this week.

Father offirmour
Student Killed

The father of Robert Corpstein,
E. E. ’33 of Dubuque, Iowa, was in-
stantly killed in an auto accident
last Tuesday. Robert left for his
home immediately.

According to the Debuque Tele—
graph—Herald, “The accident oc-
curred while Mr. Corpstein was re-
turning home in his automobile...
Tracks on the pavement showed
that the car had skidded approxi—
mately 50 feet before it hit the
tree. . . . The entire left side of the
car was torn away. . . . The car was
in such a position that no damage
was noticeable in the right side. . ..
One theory advanced is that, be-
cause of the rain, Corpstein skid-
ded while rounding the curve and
lost control of his car after apply-
ing the brakes. . . . The body re-
mained in the car six hours before
it was discovered.”

A. S. M. E. News as well as a
pamphlet published by the Society
were distributed.

At the conclusion of his talk, Mr.
Ammeson presented some cata—

logues, pamphlets, and a book,

tive Laboratory. Mr. Ammeson said
that Mr. Crane and the Crane
Company want to cooperate with
the students and faculty of Armour
as much as possible and that their
plants were always open to the
students for inspection trips.

At the close of the meeting it
was announced that only members
of the A. S. M. E. could be excused
from classes to attend the meet-
ings.

THANKSGWENG

Several years ago, a recently—
landed, group, of immigrants ,,de~
sided to stay in the New England
States. They settled in a small
agricultural and fishing; village by
the name of Plymouth. Here they
formed a compact, little organiza—
tion in a section of the town. Being
strangers, they knew practically no
one in this country, and had dis-
similar ideas, customs and appe-
tites. The local inhabitants nick—
named them “Pilgrims.”

They were not readily assimi-
lated by the citizens of that section
of the country; in fact, because
they were different it might be said
that the attitude of the country
was so cold toward them as to be
almost hostile. Very few of the
newcomers made any attempt to
learn the language; they made no
efiort to find out how the govern-

ment was run, and they did not
take out citizenship papers.

After a year had passed, this
little group of immigrants looked
upon themselves, found that none
of them had yet been deported by
the Federal authorities, very few
killed in the gang warfare, and
that the local citizenry had about
given up hope of trying to change
them into the local idea of good
citizens. In fact, save for the occa-
sional massacre and ambuscade, all
was serene. Therefore, they re-
joiced, and in their strange tongue
gave thanks for their good fortune.
As foreigners are apt to do, they
made it a three day celebration in
their quaint old way. Their ward
boss, “Governor" Bradford declared
that there were to be three days of
whoopee. This was the first
Thanksgiving.

 

Buckling Home

Norman Buehling, ’30, Editor~in—
Chief of the Engineer, captain of
the Boxing Team. member of a few
honorary fraternities, secretary of
the Senior Class, and also holder of
a few other positions, was removed
from the German Deaconess Hos-
pital to his home at 4822 No. Ham-
lin Avenue last Friday. He is re—
covering slowly but surely and is ex-
pected to return to school in about
ten days or two weeks, unless he
suffers another relapse.

An infection in his foot, small at
first, quickly spread and caused
quite serious trouble. He attempted
to return to school, and the exerw
tion caused the condition to become
much worse. An operation on Ills
knee was necessary before relief
was obtained. lie is now out or
danger as far as loss of the mem‘
her is concerned, according to at—
tending physicians.

splendid custom. The early terri-
torial governors set aside a day by
proclamation; so did Presidents
Washington and Madison. it was
Lincoln who established the fourth
Thursday in November, and this
day has been regularly proclaimed
a holiday by each succeeding Pres-
ident and state governors.

“And so, on Thanksgiving we
gather around the festive board for
a happy reunion with our families
and friends, Where the bonds of
love and the ties of friendship are
drawn closer. We have so many
things to be thanksful for in this
wonderful age, with all of its com-
forts and opportunities, that we
could scarcely enumerate them
even if we should try.

“Therefore, as we partake of our
Thanksgiving dinner, let usnot fog
get to count our blessings even as
the Pilgrims did three centuries be»—
fore us.” Spoke Dr. Howard
Monroe Raymond, President of the
Armour Institute of Technology, in
declaring holidays at Tech for
