Professor Peebles Gives Descriptive Lecture Last Friday, Professor Peebles spoke at the meeting of the A.E.ME. on the subject of “Heat Insulation." Professor Peehles narrowed his topic to the discussion of various forms of dwelling house insulation. He explained the common form of frame or brick construction of walls and the cheap method of adding in- sulation which weakened the struc- tural design of. the walls. There are three forms of insula- tion on the market, the board form, blanket type, and fills. A very com- monly known insulation in board form is Celotex. It is made from sugar cane stalk, about 20% news- paper print, and a small quantity of binder. Hair felt, a by-product of the packing industry, is a good insulat~ ing material, but it is very expen- sive. Other substances which are cheaper, such as wood pulp and corn stalks, are used instead. In the in- sulation called “balsam wool” such a substance is used between two sheets of tough paper. Another common type of insulation is dry cork, powdered gypsum and newsprint, and rock or mineral wool. All three of these are poured in the space between the studs. The latter is made out of the slag from blast furnaces. The slag is taken while still hot and reheated to a liquid state, after which a blast of steam is forced through the molten mass. The slag is blown out in a fine mist and burdens in small particles. This is a very economical insulation to use. The newest insulation is the all metal or foil type. Aluminum foil has been extensively used on tank cars for the transportation of vola- tile oils for several years, but it has never been developed for domestic use. The reason for a foil of only two-.orvthree thousandths oil-wan inch thickness acting as an insulator is that it has a highly reflecting sur— face. For this reason the heat rays are reflected and very little heat is absorbed. ‘If this is ever commer— cialized it will mean a saving of thou— sands of dollars in the transporta- tion of perishable goods. Thirty Attend Drama Clair ’3 First Meeting (Continued from page 1) sidered it better to have the students themselves choose the plays. Then E. W. Carlton, ’32 proposed to have the first play put on just before the Christmas holidays on the program of the Christmas concert. Professor Hendricks expressed hope that a play could be sufficiently developed to be presented at that time. However in all events the first play probably will be seen at the Christmas concert. He recalled that last year about this time the News Staff had a smoker at which a skit was given in his home. The play, given under the direction of E. W. Carlton, as- sisted by W. H. Rudolf, probably was the first attempt in recent years to stage a play. Having read the beginning of one Of the plays, he suggested that the committee for the selection of the plays, be chosen. Those who volunteered to act in this capacity, under the supervision of Prof. Hendricks, were the follow— ing: H. J. Monger, ME. ’33 R. Stienert, Ch. ’32 . Fuhrer, ME. ’33 . A. Brunetti, Arch. ’34 Winlay, ME. ’34 H. Morris, Arch. ’33 It was then decided that the next meeting would be held today, Tues- day, Nov. 10, at 5:00 p. m. in the Tau Beta Pi rooms. {RF/“559 MACHIN E SHOP IN SPECTHON The Thursday and Friday after- noon machine shop classes madc in~ spection trips to Foote Brothers Gear and Machine company as a substitute for ilheir regular shop periods last week.

BETA PSl The coming of basketball has aroused much interest among the ac- tives and pledges. Negotiations for a gymnasium are under way and we expect to be in very good shape by the time the Interfraternity Basket- ball Tournament rolls around. Plans for an Alumni Reunion Smoker are being formulated, and we hope they will materialize in the near future. Am Informal to Be Held November 21 The patrons for the Architectural informal, selected last week at the meeting of the architectural social committee, were Dean John C. Penn, Professor Earl H. Reed Jr., Mr. Barry H. Bentley, and Mr. W. L. Suter. As announced previously the affair will be held Saturday evening, No‘ vember 21. The Club Room of the Art Institute will be the scene of the dance. The unique bids, for which a. competition was held, will be available Wednesday for only $1.50 per couple. Those who have signed the peti- tion will be given first choice for the bids; inasmuch, as the size of the Club Room restricts the attendance. Last year the freshman architects displayed so much enthusiasm that they were able to hold a dance exclu~ sively for architects for the first time in the history oi Armour. This year’s dance is expected to be even more successful thanlthe first, as it is sponsored by the architectural class as a whole. At the class meeting, last week, the members of the social committee were elected, one from each class. Walter F. Krol retained chairman— ship; Walter Andersen is to repre- sent the juniors and seniors, Roy A. Ekroth, was re—elected, to represent the sophomores, and T. Forsyth the freshman class. Bids may be ob- tained from any of the members. Tennis Tournament ls Finishing Slowly Despite the fact that the weather was fair as far as fall weather goes, it was not suitable for tennis, as is shown by the fact that the playing of the tennis tournament was at a standstill. At this rate, the tourna- ment promises to last longer than it did last year, and the finalists will be playing in snowshoes and fur coats. To avoid this, the players who still remain in the running should arrange their matches as soon as possible while the weather is at all agreeable. The courts are in excel— lent condition as it has not rained in the past week. Last year, the final was played during the week of November 25, in which Hendricks defeated Graham. Both of these men are in competition again this year, Graham having ad— vanced to the semi—final round while Hendricks is still in the quarter- finaL The doubles tournament, which was introduced this year, has also ad- vanced slowly, although the team of Davidson and Richter is ready to play Cohrs and Graham to see which one enters the final round, and this game is scheduled to take place early next week. The other doubles teams are still in the preliminary rounds. The average freshman student, ac. cording to statistics, spends 2.64. hours each week attending movies. Cigarettes New Sold? In Smaller Packages The problem of how to carry a package of “tailor-made” cigarettes in a tailor-made suit of clothes, with- out bulging the pockets of the latter, has been solved! A new and handy “twelvemack” has been produced by Old Golds, which will repose in the side pocket without betraying its presence or dc~ stroying that “form-fitting” effect. Men who are not silhouette con- scious, will also appreciate the new and smaller package, because it can be crowded into an already bulging pocket without breaking the seams. The twelve-pack, of course, like the standard twenty~pack, is wrapped in cellophane, so that even in the extreme case of a moist bio— logical specimen being carried in the cigarette pocket, the smokes will stay crisply fresh and untaintcd. The new, handy package is avail- able in cartons of a dozen, contain- ing 144 cigarettes—enough to pro- vide cerebral relaxation for several “man-days.” Dr. Scherger to Talk About Masterpieces Dr. Scherger delivered an illus— trated lecture on Paris to his 11:30 class last Friday. This is one of a series of lectures on some of the principal capitals of Europe. Others on London, Rome, Vienna and other cities of popular interest will follow. Anyone not a member of the class in Great Leaders is invited to at— tend these lectures. They are held practically every Friday at 11:30 in the Assembly Hall. A lecture on Italian masterpieces was given recently, and those who wish to attend will hear about mas- terpieces of painting of the Dutch, English, and French masters Friday at 11:30. This lecture is also illus- trated. Wat-ch the NEWS for an- nouncement of coming lectures. Henry Frank’s Barber Shop 200‘ East 3lst Street Haircuts 40c ENLARGED .
