Some of these periodicals contain subjects that are varied in interest and general in scope. A few maga- zines of this type are Scribners, At— lantic Monthly, Harper’s Monthly, and Scientific American. Other pe— riodicals dealing with current events are represented in Current History, Nation, New Republic, and Review oi Reviews. In addition to these, Ar» mour’s library receives bulletins—— these are kept on lilew-l'l'om federal and state publications, from univer- sity experimental stations, and from company publications as well as mag- azines bearing English, French, and German titles.

Periodicals of interest to the various departments are: Mechanical: Mechanical Engineering. Compressed Air. Machine Design. Electrical : Electrical Journal. Electrical Review. Electrician (E11g.) Electrical World. Electronics. Civil: Civil Engineering. Engineering News-Record. Roads and Streets. Water Works. Fire Protection: Fire Protection Engineering.

It is a grand thing for the heart, enlarging it to many times its former capacity, but what it does to the mind is i110ur11~ tul to contemplate.

D , . mp5 Love blinds the eyes, warps the judgment, spoils the taste, increases the capacity for happiness, takes the sting out of misfortune, softens the disposition, makes hard work worth while, and fills the land with happy, and often crowded, homes. Love is an infernally, ridiculously, and painfuly magnificent thing. It is 21 1,000,000 volt shock of personal magnetism, against which there is no insulation. It preys upon the old and the young alike. It attacks the statuesque young society princess and reduces her from an iceberg; to PAY 35100-00 CaSh 10 any student an armful of soft words in three Wh0 found a problem in any COI— weeks.

Kept The constant stream of periodicals appearing weekly, monthly, and quar- terly would be useless to a great ex- tent without the general indexes that aid in locating magazine articles by author, title, or subject. Experience has shown that one source of index is not very practical therefore the Armour library practices a system of many indexes. Some of these 1n— dexes are as follows: People’s Index to Periodical Liter- nliire. 1881—1906. Indexes 470 Amer; lean and English periodicals—~chiefly general. Reader's Guide to Periodicals, 1900. An index to general magazines, sum: U. S. government publications ano reports of associations, arranged al— phabetically. Annual Magazine Subject—Index, 1909 Speciali/es in histoxy, trlavcl, and fine arts. These indexes are merely exem‘ plary of the complete filing list can taming: numbers of periodicals. Network of Tunnels Serves Loop Buildings Few people know about the un—l" usual system of transportation used by large building's in the loop and nearby for handling freight of all kinis. The Chicago tunnel system should be of interest, particularly to engineers. There are approximately sixty- two miles oi tunnels, forty feet below Chicago streets. Much of the exca- vated earth which once occupied the sites of some of the downtown build- in 1 was hauled thiough them Freight and coal is hauled from the railroad stations to the buildings where i! is raised to the upper levels by elevators which are capable of hoisting a fully loaded car. The hasty conclusion the streamlining was perfect because some of the pennies traveled an, infinite distance force discipline on the “hat forget‘ ting: F.resh” What would become of law and order, if there were no up- perclassmen to see that it gets en- iforced? Maybe it would go the way of the “elevator rule”, which Charlie 1701/ gets little help in enforcing. The publicity given to “Johann” Root-1113 by this column has evidently had a good deal of effect. He came out of that “walking checker board" ""— into a rather drab ensemble—for him. The Herd and Radiation class is open to advice from most any good engineer.

TWANGLE Dear Editor: May I, for the Armour Tech Musi— cal Clubs and Mr. Erickson, the di- rector, oxpress an appreciation of the editorial which appeared last week in the News. “Putting Armour Ahead” was the appropriate title of the editorialv» and the Musical Clubs are putting: Armour ahead. The various con~ certs given at many places in the city have brought the name of Armour forcibly before the public eye. Tenta- thc coming year in— clude appearances which may do this outside of the city. It is one of the loudest hopes of Mr. Erickson and the executive ol'l’i— ccrs of the clubs that a bigger and better Spring concert might be given this year. To do this would neces- sitate a change in the auditorium. ‘1 The Spring Concert and the Era: tornity Sing held dillll’lij Jlll‘llOl. active social season' with a bridge Week, are two of the oldest traditions1 party on uunday, October 21.
