No. 3.1416) STUDY OF ”NBS OF FORCE For this experiment the only appara us needed is ‘ micrometer caliper to measure the distance between the force lines. The lines are best measured on a cloudy day when the sun is out, so that the heat from the clouds ex- pands the individual force lines so that they may be better handled. Three gausses are taken from the atmosphere and laid side by each on a sheet of white paper. They may tend to roll apart but a little in— sulating non—stick glue will hold them fast. Several ohms are taken from the supply tank and run through the ohm-sitter to remove any potential gradient. A voltage of six abampere amperes per ampere is ap- plied, with a dauber, to prevent link fluxages and core losses. When the field is opened and. the cows get out, a non- -harmonica alternating current results with a zero symbolic impedence. This proves that the 1 variations in the lines of force are nil, and MAKE- UP DEPARTMENT Make— —Up Editor ..................... Assistants G. L. Bonvallet, ’32 F. F.

MAY 6, 1930 No. 11 JUIWOR WEEK Monday, May 12, to Friday, May 17, inclusive, will be‘Armour‘s seventeenth annual Junior Week. Into this short span of five days will be crammed the out- standing events of Tech’s extra-curricula activities. Members of the junior class, represented by the Junior Marshals and the various committees, will manage the many events on the well-filled program. Monday night will be Open House Night, held for the purpose of giving relatives and friends of the stu- dents, and prospective students, an opportunity to find out just what the essentials of an engineering school are. Although this event is sponsored by the Institute, the members of the junior class co-operate in every way possible to make this night a success. On Thursday morning the Interfraternity Track Meet is held, followed that evening by the Interim- ternity Sing and the annual Spring Concert of the musical organizations. This year, for the first time, Circus Day will be on Friday of Junior Week. The events on this day in— clude the lnterclass and Interfraternity Relays, the Pentathlon, the Class Rush, and the fraternity stunts. Friday night is the eventful date of the Junior Prom, Armour’s only formal dance. The junior class social committee has been working for months in preparation for this dance which promises to be the most colorful of all Junior Proms. The Junior Marshals and the committees in charge of these various events have put in a lot of time and hard work in preparation for this week. The only recompense for their labors is the pleasure derived from knowing that their efforts are appreciated by the student body. Open House Night, the Prom, and the Spring Con- cert are always good drawing cards, but Circus Day, the truly Junior Day of the week, has, in the past years, been supported only in a half—hearted way by the student body. The crowd watching the various events instead of numbering around eight hundred, has rarely exceeded two hundred. It was for this reason that the Marshals decided to hold the events on Friday. This makes it possible for students who work on Saturdays to participate in or watch the events. A record-breaking Circus Day both in nume ber of spectators and competition in events is expected. thus it is concluded that F : ma. ——The Bongineer it- ‘i‘ l' The Freshman’s Ramona Ammonia! 1"ve spilled the H2504 Ammonia!

He laid the piece b Professor Winnie-s Eaton iterator (A Biographical Sketch) ml CHARLES ELANNA, ’31 Thomas Eaton Doubt, Associate , Professor of Physics, was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on February 15, 1870, and received his grammar school education in this city. He received his preparatory training at the Latin School of the Univer— sity of Nebraska, under the tutor- ship of the head Professors of the University. He then attended Nebraska Wes— leyan University, where he received his B. S. degree in 1892. Four years later be was awarded an M. A. de- gree from the University of Neb» raska. lie received his Ph.D degree from the University of Chicago in 1904 for his research on the effect of intensity on the velocity of light. He also wrote another thesis on the “Effect of motion of the medium on the velocity of light,” immedi— ately following the first as a con— tinuation of his research. In 1894 Professor Doubt was a fellow in Physics at the University of Nebraska and in 1897 he joined the stall of the University of Washington, at Seattle, as a Pro— fessor of Physics, where he re- mained for five years. After at- tending the University of Chicago, as a fellow in physics for one year, he joined the staff at the Institute, as an Instructor. One year later, in 1904., his title become that of As— sociate Professor of Physics. In 1902 he married Miss Ruth Pratt of Seattle, a graduate of the University of Washington. They have four children, two are at the present time attending school, while the two older daughters are in the teaching profession, having already received their college de— grees. The eldest daughter has two degrees from the University of Chicago and is now a fellow in- structor at the University of Call‘ fornia, at Berkeley. Professor Doubt is a member of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific fra- ternity, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the American. Physical. Society. During the past six years he has also been employed as physicist for Underwriters Laboratories, in which capacity his work consists chiefly of the calibration of instru- ments, studying the propagation of flame in explosions, and spectra- scopic work. He has also done varm lous kinds of consulting work in optics for private companies. His chief interest lies in his vo— cation, especially in the study of light, both the theory and comm mereial applications, with all the incidental problems attached to the subject. Because of this special in- terest he has just recently in- corporated in to the curriculum of the Institute an elective course on the theory of light, in which be- sides the theory, as commercial a problem as air port illumination is analyzed. As a hobby he enjoys the study of fine sound, namely, the opera and symphony orchestra productions. Travel also holds fascination for him. Stink finial» fiasco SchmienChemikers Dr. Gill was interrupted in his morning lecture to the Freshman chemicals last Thursday morning y a sudden rush of the members of his class to the windows. Henry Fishman had noticed a small glass container filled with a colorless liquid. It had an odd odor and he put it on the vacant chair next to him intending to find out what it contained later. It was a “stink bomb" and. revealed itself to the members of the class when Fishv man aceidently jostled the chair on which it was resting. All day Thursday the electricals who had classes on that floor (the bomb went off in the Physics lec- ture room) went around with their noses wrinkled up. In addition. the class continued in the midst of the stench while those members of the faculty and student body made famous by Barnum trailed down the corridor, poked their noses in the door, and hastily with— drew to the open and fresh air that was gently being waited towards Armour from the Stockyards.

The fine turnout showed to a marked extent the interest of the alumni in the active chapter. In entertainment and the fine time that was enjoyed, the house dance that was given May 3rd rivaled the house—warming dance, which no doubt many on the campus re- member. We are pleased to announce the pledging of Frederick Beale. Slab/HA ALPHA. MU Sigma Alpha Mu held its annual spring house party at the home of Avon Simon, last Saturday night.
