Tuesday, November 26, 1929 ARMOUR TECH NE‘ifid Page Three FOLLDW TERM Presented at the Apollo Theater When Schwab and Mandel pre— sented at the Selwyn, “Good ‘ News,” that delightful musical comedy, the box office reports for its prolonged engagement were quite favorable; when that col— legiate musical was withdrawn from public view, it was only a question of months before another of its type and pattern would be on the Chicago stage. Thus “Follow Thru,” was staged, and while it is not up to the pace— making standard of its predecessor, it does give one the impression of being lively, joyful and high—step- ping. It is not collegiate but the plot hinges heavily on golf and golfers. The story consists mainly of the efforts of a lovely young lady to regain her lost championship in a local country club. She, being ex— ceptionally weak in the art of put— ting, acquires as an instructor one, young; handsome and of the op- posite sex. There soon develops the expected complications, but as al- ways, love conquers over all. The greatest attraction of the show is not one of the leading characters but the witty inimitable“ and entertaining comedian Olive Oleson. In fact her songs are the hit of the bill; “I Want to Be Bad“ invariably draws prolonged en— cores. The lines are clever; the scenes hilarious, and the entire show a riot of fun. A most pleasant evening can be spent at the Apollo. and many more in chuckling reminis- cences. S. T. Garflnklc. Qhemicai Society Holds Meeting at City (Club The monthly meeting of the American Chemical Society was held last Friday evening at 7:30 at the City Club. The feature of the evening was a talk presented by Professor Si1« verman of the University of Pitts— burgh, who spoke on the manufac~ ture of glass. Northern Light Prairies Valuable for Number of Different Purposes In the latest issue of the Public Service Company of Northern Illi— nois Go. News, of which C. R. Bish— op, ’25, is editor, the following ar- ticle appeared, telling of the uses of their newly purchased amphibian plane. The Company’s latest addition to its equipment, the Sikorsky airplane Northern Light, is proving itself very valuable for a number of pur- poses, according to the records of the plane’s use. Among the more important uses were two prelim- inary aerial surveys of rights of way for a projectedl transmission line and a gas main. L. W. Tattle, Engineer of Gas Dis- tribution, used the Northern Light to fly over alternate routes pro- posed for new gas mains. He was able to cover 1130 miles of projected right of way in four and one-half hours, a trip ordinarily requiring three days by automobile. In addi- tion, the view from the plane was helpful because of the increased perspective. Flies Over Right of Way 0. E. Ambelang, Engineer 01’ Transmission Line Design, comman- deered the Northern Light for a journey over the right of way of a proposed high line. It was possible by using the plane, to make an ion spection trip in one day that ordi- narily would have taken two or three days, at the same time giving the members of the inspection per» ty a greatly increased horizon. Aerial inspection of rights of way makes possible an intelligent selec- tion of route by a few men in a short time of what would take weeks by any other method. Transports Officials Reconnaissance by ofilcials tor projected schemes, of which no de— tail is available, has also been made.

Near Undrese Life is just one extreme after an- other with a whole lot of injustice between the two, at least so thought a class of freshman gymnasts, last Thursday when at the sound of the fire gong, they were forced to dash down 5 stories and stand, garbed only in trunks, on the walk in front of the main building. Imagine standing on a walk with an icy wind at your back, minus everything but a thin air of trunks, while speculating, if this is possible with so few clothes on, as to the possible location, intensity, and persistancy of a fire, a real red hot one. It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good, and just to prove the adage, it happened that a senior economics class was interrupted in the midst of a quiz. That siren may have sounded like one thing to the freshmen 5 stories up, but it sym- bolized the other extreme to those seniors who were feeling trapped, though not by fire. ital E. E. Convention At livelie- Dec. 1 3 The Chicago”- District Meeting ol’ the American Institute of Electrical Engineers will be held in Chicago at the Drake Hotel from Dec. 1 to 3 inclusive. All Junior and Senior electricians are members of this organization and will attend many oi“ the meet- ings to be held during this time. During the three days there will be a series of sessions on technical subjects interspersed with inspec— tion trips to various places such as the State Line Generating Plant, Western Electric 00., etc. Tuesday night, there will be a dinner—dance, in the main ballroom of the Drake, with a charge of $3.50 per person. Moth Society Accepts Paper by Prof. Teach, Professor V‘. B. Teach, oi‘ the Mathematical Department has had accepted by the American Mathe— matical Society a paper on “The Hamilton—Jacobi Theory for the Problem of Lagrange in Parametric Form." This paper is the present result of research in the field of “Calculus of Variation” made by Professor Teach and will be read and discussed at the meeting of the A. M. S. to be held November 30 at the University of Michigan. The paper will be published later in the society journal.

Daily Paper Features Armour Graduate An article in the Chicago Evening Post of November 13 gave an ac— count of the rise of J. M. Eckert, ’10, C. E. Seven years ago he founded the J. M. Eckert 00., decorating estab- lishment, which is now one of the foremost modern paint contracting businesses in Chicago. Previous to that he had been chief efficiency engineer for the United states Steel Corporation. He started on another vocation when he began buying run~down businesses, and building them up as soon as possible at a profit. While in the improvement work he acquired a painting business along with other store buildings on one of the busiest streets of the north side. Having the business, he started out to learn enough about it to put it on a paying basis, and the first thing he knew he was lik~ ing the business and resolved to make it his life work. Roosevelt Road Bridge Engineered dwellers/mus Carl 0, Johnson, ’06, C. E., is the chief engineer for the new Roose— velt Road Bridge over the new channel of the South branch of the Chicago River. The straightening of the River opens up three streets for the south side and involves territory valued at billions of dollars. Freshman (Class Has Good ‘Math Standing The number of mathematicians in the Freshman Class is a bit higher than in previous years, or else the Mathematics Department is giving the men more of a bleak, for not as many as usual are re~ turning to the Review Algebra class. Only 31 per cent are turning back, whereas in former years at least 41 per cent were desirous of increasing their knowledge of high school Algebra. In Trigonometry there is no re- view class, because the math Pro— fessors have neither the room nor time to devote to the lacking ones, not because there is no need for one. Revised Mechanics Boole Almost Ready Professor Leigh announces that the revised edition of Leigh 8t Mangold’s Practical Mechanics and Strength of Material, on which he is now working, will be ready Jan— uary l and will be in use during the second semester at the institute. The book is being printed now and contains many improvements over the original. Besides having new chapters and new problems added, the book has been changed in many places to show better ex- planations of facts. students in Architecture will be the first stu— dents to use the revised book next semester.

Pi Feliowshipe Open to Senior Members Six Fellowships, of 750donars each, have been offered by Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering fra- ternity, to graduating seniors who are members of that organization. The members of Tau Beta Pi in the Senior class at Armour will be eligible to apply for these awards. These Fellowships are given to pro— vide opportunity for graduate work by those men “who show good promise of substantial achieve- mient Each Fellowship oi? $750 is pay- able in ten monthly installments of $75 each. Few rules have been established as to who shall receive these Fellowships and how they shall be used. This was done pur— posely, because most existing awards are designated for some specific purpose and a student with original ideas will seldom find one available which will suit his needs. The Executive Council determining to whom the Fellowship will go will, of course, be governed by the practical consideration that these should be allotted only to those taking anaiyt in night school.
