Since its discovery, American laborA atorics have been busy making or- ganic substances using heavy hydro— gen instead of ordinary hydrogen, to determine properties of its COWI‘ pounds. Heavy hydrogen has opened a vast new field in organic chemistry and may lead to discoveries of he mendous importance. l l l l several Ransom) for Research 1 There are several reasons why l scientists conduct researches. 'l‘ho ‘ of the Carbide and Carbon Chemical Corporation engineers were: first, to find some possible use for their by- products; second, to satisfy users of their chemicals; and third, to make: chemicals that find use in other' process 5.

The results of their activiticsl were that a good many of the fresh—l men became gray/headed over worry, ing over their green hats. l Reception committees stationed on, 33rd street, anxiously greeted the“ freshmen coming to their classes Flour of an especially sticky nature was used for massaging purposes. The committee receiving: members via State street were easier on their vicA‘ tims, as the froah were given a (‘hina-, man’s chance, that is they were al-‘ lowed to produce their green hats as; evidence. The other committee wasl the more blood-thirsty, and ember-g rassing situations were presented scv» ‘ eral times as some of the tough fresh— men were taken down a few notches. The sophs‘ only regret was that there were too few freshmen minus green caps, so that the fun didn’t last very long.

According to Dr. Oliver 3. Lee, director of the Dearborn observa- tory, the theory assumes that the crust of the earth in the early days of its formation had broken open and drifted apart bo form the ocean beds. If this drift theory is correct, the continents should get narrower. The observatories, which it clude the government observatories at Wauhington and San Diego, Califor- nia, indium; University, Lick obser- vatory, and two Canadian observa- tories, will make accurate observa- tions of the longitude, and these will be checked with observations to be made ten years hence. Should there be a change in longitude which would tend to make the continent narrower, the theory would be correct Lawson Y has been chosen to house this gala affair.
