ANONYMG US LETTERS

Anonymous letters are frequently found in the con-
tribution boxes of the various school publications.
Usually these communications express a supposed
grievance and tell their tales in a hasty and
thoroughly unsatisfactory manner. It is against the
policy of the school publications to print anonymous
letters, hence the letters do not receive the considera-
tion which the writers think they deserve.

It is suggested by the Office of the Deans’ that if
you have a real grievance and want to register a
“kick,” that you come out in the open and tell one of
the Deans personally. If this method seems too abrupt,
a communication can be addressed to this paper in
care of the Letter Box, and it will be printed provided
the subject matter is of printable nature and the au-
thor's name accompanies the missive. The name will
not be printed with the letter if it is so requested.

The Deans urge above all, that if you really have
something on your mind, or think you are being dealt
with unfairly, do not hide behind the cloak of anon-

Now that the class elections are over, the more im—
portant work of picking class committees is under
way. These committees are made up of the men who
will adminsiter the class funds, and it is the respon-
sibility of the class officers to see that men are se-
lected who will discharge their duties efficiently and
act for the best interests of the class.

This responsibility is one which an officer should
assume with an open mind. Too much time cannot
be given in. the consideration of the men he is select—
ing to represent the class, and for whose actions he
will be directly responsible.

(A Biographical Sic ct ch.)

 

BY CHARLES ELAHNA. ’31

 

William Carl Krafl’t was born on
April 30, 1808 at Defiance, Iowa
where he received his grammar
school education. During the first
year, he attended high school at
Luverne, Iowa, but finished at Fort
Dodge. From high school he went
to North Central College in Naper~
ville, Illinois. At that time it was
known as Northwestern College. He
was graduated from there with an
AB. degree in 1920 and since then
has attended various summer
school courses at Illinois, North-
western, and Iowa Universities.

After leaving college he spent
two years as athletic director and
coach 01' all sports at Waukegan
High School in Waukegan, Illinois.
In 192:2, Mr. Krafft came to Armour
as physical director and basketball
coach and for the past five years
has added to this the work of base—
ball coach.

He is well suited for this position
having won eleven letters at col—
lege for football, baseball, basket—
ball, and track. He was also a
member or several state champion—
ship baseball, baskctball and foot—
ball teams during that time. When—
ever basketball or football is in
season he likes to get back into the
game, not as a player, but as an
official in both high school and col«
lege 'games.

Additional training was obtained
in the U. S. Army where Mr. Krafft
enlisted in 1017 and remained until
the Armistice, a period of thirteen
months. He had the rank of First
Sergeant in the Field Artillery of
the Officers Training Corps. and
regretfully stated that if the war
hadn't ended when it did he would
have been a Second Lieutenant in

Huge Telescope Uses
a New Quarter Glass

When in the future astronomers
using the gigantic 200~lnch tele~
scope now being constructed for the
California Institute of Technology
get an enlarged vision of the uni-
verse, it will be clue partly to a new
process for making quartz glass
mirrors. To make a smooth quartz
surface for the huge telescopes re—
flector, big enough to cover the
floor of a room seventeen feet
square, has been one of the chief
problems confronting those engag-
ed in the work, according to Dr.
Elihu Thomson, of the General
Electric Company. It was a labora»
tory assistant who suggested spray-
ing the quartz on the reflector,
somewhat as paint is sprayed on an
automobile body. Experiments
proved the idea was a striking suc-
cess. Quartz, ground into white
powder, was shot through an oxy—
gen—hydrogen blow-torch, making a
flaming stream that spattered the
mirror backing at a temperature of
3,000 degrees. When the process is
used in the fusing of the 200-inch
reflector, it is estimated that
enough hydrogen to raise a dirigi—
ble will be burned.

He is a member of the National
Basketball Coachs’ Association and
a member of the board of directors
of the Athletic Officials Association
of America.

Like all other individuals con—
nected with the Institute, he has
very little spare time. When he
does have any, however, he spends
it in fishing, camping, hunting,
baseball playing or motoring.

On August 16, 1922, Coach Krafft
was married and is now the proud
father of two boys, one five and

Both are to be All—American foot-

Huge Bulb Finished
For Use in “Talkies”

The newest and biggest “star" in
the firmament of the movie world
is a gigantic incandescent light, de-
veloped in the research laboratory

 

PM“)???

- of the General Electric Company to

help solve some of the difficulties
that are raised by the latest re-
quirements of the moving picture
industry.

The complete light includes a
vehicular tripod bearing a reflector
with a socket at its base in which
fits the huge bulb. This bulb is
three feet in diameter and is cap—
able of 6,000,000 candlepower. It
has sufficient tungsten in its coiled
filament for 126,000 Ordinary elec-
tric lights.

This light is typical of the
changes in movie illumination since
the "Klelg” lights were found un—
suited to the talkies. “Kleig” lights
work with a buzzing that interferes
with the recording of talking film.

They shut the door on hybrid styles

Quantity production of equipment has long
been practiced by the telephone industry.
Telephone designers years ago shut the door
on many hybrid styles—seeking first to work
out instruments which could best transmit the

voice, then making these few
quantities.

This standardization made possible concen—

trated study of manufacturing

types in great

steady improvement of them. For example, the
production of 15,000,000 switchboard lamps a
year, all of one type, led to the development
of a highly special machine which does in a
few minutes what once took an hour.
Manufacturing engineers, with their early

start: in applying these ideas, have been able to

processes, and

develop methods which in may cases have be-
come industrial modds. The oppommig' is there!
