The various problems connected with the treatment of water for the removal of undesirable chemicals were explained by Dr. John R. Bay- lis, who is in charge of the entire plant. Every conceivable experi- ment in water treatment is being performed in this plant. After these are finished a most efficient process will be used in the treatment of all city water. ' Must Remove Poisons Due to the practice of various in— dustrial plants, located on or near the lake, of dumping waste products into the water, it became polluted and therefore unfit to drink. Now strict health laws force the manu» facturer to remove most of the barin- ful waste chemicals before dischargu ing the waste into any stream or lake. Sediment which is stirred up from the bottom of the lake during storms causes a suspension of the solids and makes the water un- pleasant as a drinking water. All such considerations are taken into account during the various experi- ments. m Mix Own Samples This plant has a distinct advant- age in being able to create its own pollution. A sample of waste liquor from some refinery is obtained and mixed with water in various pro-i portions. The most extreme pollu- tion can be produced. The cost of removing undesirable chemicals and suspended matter is determined for the experiment. This plant is the pilot plant and later its develop~ ments will be employed in the large scale work of treating all city water. The pilot plant is capable of filtering 800,000 gallons of water per day, evidently not enough for the entire city with its average wa- ter consumption per day of 1,000,— 000,000 gallons. A striking contrast is obtained by observing? '“ filteredeand‘munfiltered ‘ water. Unfiltered water appears mud— dy compared 'to filtered water due to the large amount of suspended mat- ter. People come continuously from the. surrounding district to ob- tain this desirable drinking water. Chemical Basketeers Battle for Trophy The Senior Chemicals' basketball quintet took the measure of the Junior Chemicals by a 46 to 29 count last Thursday and thus gained possession of the cracked test tube symbolic of victory in this encount- er. Despite the great rivalry and heated enthusiasm, the Seniors were forced to start with but four men, one of them a freshman. Before the first quarter was up, the fifth man arrived to complete the winning combination. The Juniors, however. won a “moral victory” by their sportsmanship in playing with four men for the first few minutes in order not to take undue advantage of their elders. Test Tube is Trophy The test tube, which is the trophy struggled for by each of the two upper classes has been taken from its display case on the sixth floor of Main Building and transtcrred to the appropriate receptacle 5; the Chemistry Lab. H. Fishman, a third year man, was high scorer of the game with 16 points. E. Field and S. Lind were runners-up with 15‘ and 14 points respectively. The only man on the floor who failed to score was the referee, 0. T. Barnett. Seniors (46) G. ‘fi Obit-JOH- S. Lind Hmocoffi w H r>~ co Juniors (29) G- H. Fishman A. Ream . . . . . J. Kuhicka S.

E., '32: I be— lieve that they would look a little better without the gold braid trim~ ming around the edges. The cost is also a bit high in view of the gen— eral range of present prices. E. W. Carlton, E. E., ’32: Al— though Armour’s colors make the jackets distinctive, the idea of hav- ing them is fundamentally sound. Alton Jungels, M. E., ’32: I be- lieve that the gold braid should be removed. Junior Chemicals Rush the Library Hectic days are now the common thing for Miss Steele and her library assistants since the Junior Ghemcals have started work on library sub. jects. Each week something comes up which, were it not for Miss Steele, would resemble hunting for a needle in the haystack. Foreign journals on chemical subjects seem to cause con~ .siderablc consternation to those who don’t understand all of the major modern languages (and who does). 01" course all good chemicals are A‘ R' Viel' Cl" E" ’32: The jaCk" supposed to have a reading ability of ets are great. It is the best ar- rangement of design I have seen in four years. Dan White, M. E., ’32: Consider- ing these times, the price is exhor- bitant. F. A. Untryaki, M. E., '32: The design is different from anything in recent years except for the location and size of the monogram. R. F. Waindle, M. E., ’32: I think the jackets are all right as they are for the fellows who will wear them. A. Bogot, M. E“, ’32: They are all right just as they are. R. Steinert, Ch. E... '32: Every- thing is O. K. except the braid. Jack Owen, M. E., '32: I am very fond of the insignia as it appears on the sample. It’s the best jacket we ever had around here. M. Berger, Ch. 15., '32: It is too conspicuous and not conducive to the gargantuan intellect requisite of a senior at A. I. 'l‘. L. W. Winbolt, M. 1-1., ’32: 0. K. except for the braid and the price. Where are the cap and pants? Kindergarten Circle Used by Senior (Hails (Continued from page 1) be, in the words of that immortal poem (we are going to write this poem next year), “none other than the civil engineers." But singing has finally become trying even to the great tenors, basses, and unaffiliated members of ..the..greater..ciril;rhorn§.~ ,. At. hawker felt they must do something concrete, his neighbor’s look of sublime inno- stance. Tbe boys constructed Ia perfect circle of chairs in Room B, Mission, and denoted the geometrical center of the room by placing the profes— sorial desk above that very spot. Next, no one knows why they did this, they put a very bold and prepossess— ing sign on the door which read as follows: FOR WOMEN ONLY After the stage was thus set, the civil cutups adorned the circle with their limp figures. Following this each of the children tried to outdo his neighbor’s look of sublime inno- cence. At this point in the proceedings Professor Nash drew nigh. With a silent blush he surveyed the Sign adorning the firmly closed door. With but a brief pause denoting indeci- sion, he entered the charmed circle of chairs, seated himself at the cen- trally located control desk, and be- gan to lecture on “juice.” Not a sign did he show because of the unconventional and untimely gathering of the Knights of the Round Table. At the conclusion of the period he asked Sir Launcelot to shut the door. Sir Galahad and Sir Percival were next ordered to return the desk to its accustomed place of repose. Ye other knights were given a problem—namely, placing the class- room chairs in neat and perfect rows. Mrs. Rasmussen Back After Long Illness Mrs. Rasmussen, appraiser in the Armour Tech Cafeteria, is back with us again after a month’s absence. She wishes to thank her many friends who so graciously remem- bered her during her convalescence. “There is nothing quite so charm- ing as bright, fresh flowers," said Mrs. Rasmussen when asked how she enjoyed the lovely bouquet sent her by the members of the faculty. GLEE CLUB REHEARSES Dr. lProtheroe introduced a new selection to the songsters at the last meeting of the Glee Club. It is an old favorite entitled, “Mighty Lak’ n Rose", in which the baritone section has the lead. scientific German and French. Earlier in the year, a class in library research was conducted by Miss Steele for the purpose of ac- quainting the men. with the various reference books which are used in chemical engineering. Beilstun, “the organic Chemist’s Bible" was infor- mally presented to the class. Among those present were such imposing dicties as the International Critical Tables, the Landoldt, Bornsten, and Meyerholfer tables, Chemical Ab~ stracts, and enough other volumes to make several tables groan with the load. The writer feels indebted to the Armour librarian ever since she rescued him while floundering about in Chemical Abstracts. Once ex- plained, the Abstracts positively {eat out of one’s hand. In fact, if the weather is good. the disposition better, and if one has previously seen three green pigs fly- ing past the library windows, it is possible to ferret out the desired article in about an hour. It is pos- sible that the article may be procured after it has been found in the “ab— stracts”, but the usual place for chemical literature seems to be the University of Cincinnati or some equally inaccessible place.
