Tuesday, March I2. I935 ARMOUR TECH NEWS Page Five Truce History of [Marine insurance Mr. T. Alvin Strahle ol the Western Marine Department, Insul— ancc Company of North America, talked to the Fire Protection Enui» neering' Society last Friday. The subject on which he spoke was en- titled “The Romantic Story of Ocean Marine Insurance.” As far back as 2000 B. C., BabyA Ion had a lorm of insurance some- what of the nature of Marine InA sumncc. The shipper would place a certain amount of money as a form of wager to protcol him against complete loss. If the voyage was successful, he would pay this amount, but if unsuccessful, he would collect for the amount of the wager. A Problem of Antiquity The Chinese had another way of insuring‘ against total loss. For in» stance, if ten men were shipping goods along the river, they would each hold a tenth interest in each others’ property. Then, if one boat was lost, each man would lose a l-enth of the value, rather than one man losing all of his goods. luthe time of Christopher Colum- bus, the captains of ships would throw off part of their cargoes when in heavy seas and would come into port with only part of their cus— tomers’ goods” Shortly after this, England passed a marine law which prevented such loss to the custom— er, by placing an equal share of the total loss on the hull and cargo own- Cl'fi. Marine Law Apportions Losses Lloyds, “a very admirable com- pany," originated in a way very much like that of the wager. Marine Insurance has now devel- oped to a high degree of precision in all ways. The International Marine Law, which requires that losses be equally apportioned, has helped these companies a great deal. Today, marine insurance has reached the stage whole it is very beneficial and fail to all concerned. SHOPS-— (Continued from, page I) the development of knowledge of the fundamentals of shop economics and management. The committee agrees that, so far as actual time in the shops is con- cerned, the machine shop comes first in importance; that woodworking may properly be eliminated, pro« vided that adequate reference is made to patterns and pattern making in other courses; and that foundry work with ferrous and non-ferrous metals shall involve only a limited amount of time in moulding and in cupola and furnace operation. It is further concluded that, in general, hand operations such as forging, welding, clipping, |filing, and pipe— fitting shall require only a small por- tion of the student‘s time; that suf— ficient attention in class rooms, test- ing: laboratories, and shops be devoted to the study of mettallurgy and met~ allography with special attention be- ing given to important alloys, to heat treatment, to hardness testing, and to microscopic structure. In addi- tion to work with the usual stand ard machine tools, the courses shall include a study of the stamping, drawing, and sllinn‘ng of metals, a study of the various types of gas and electric welding, and a study of die casting. Manual Dexterity Not included In this connection, it should be noted that in defining the major 01)» jectives of shop courses, the attain- ment of manual dexterity was not in~ cluded. Obviously, however, a certain degree of skill will be attained by any student who takes courses of the type recommended, as is the case with any laboratory course, whether in pure science or in engineering. In the study of the shop problem as related to Armour Institute, consideration was given to the fact that a large proportion of our students are grad-- uates of Chicago high schools and have, to some degree, taken shop courses. The plan proposed for our curriculum does not contemplate any repetition of material given in prepa— ratory schools. Pledging themselves to go to jail rather than fight in the event of war, two hundred Columbia University students, in addition to a score of faculty members, went on record for pacifism. Cast Metals in New Uses to Be Discussed A joint meeting- of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Western Society of Engineers will be held March 18 to consider the newest applications of cast metals brought about by the new in- ventions developed in the past. few years. The three speakers, who are all engineers in the metal trades, will discuss the new methods which are becoming more necessary as the ideas of the last few years are be. ing' put into production. The first thing that becomes evident with such a development is that the ma~ chinery which was adequate at; the beginning of the depression has be- come obsolete during the dormant years of industry. To consider the new problems of forming and fabricating metals on exhibit is also on display to show modern castings which are unusual in the design of the members and the newer materials being: applied to difficult problems. Those students who have not yet studied the applications of engineer. ing to foundry practice will be especially interested in this meet- ing, although all Armouritcs and their friends are invited. The exhibit of castings will open at 6:45 p. m. on March 18. The meet- 1m,r proper will start at 7:80 in the main auditorium of the Engineer- inf,r Building; 205 W. Wackur Drive. List 1000 Vacancies With Housing Bureau The opportunity recently offered Armour students to as ist relatives and friends in renting vacant prop- erties is still in force. Although over a thousand vacancies available for the use of those who are bcmg af- fected by the PWA Vv'cst S1111: Housv mg Project. have been listed, there are three thousand families in the area for whom homes must be found. The Housing Service Bureau, the new agency set up to assist in the rehousing program, has opened an office at 1201 West Taylor Street, Chicago, for the service and con- vcnionce of those Iamilies residing in the area. The Bureau was organ— ized through the ell‘orts ol’ the Met- ropolitan Housing Council‘s Commit- tee on Itchousing Policies. Dwellings to Be inspected The dwellings listed are being re- viewed by the Illinois State Housing Board and the Board of Health, De- partmcnt of Buildings, and Depart metal at Electricity of the City of Chicago. Until now the Bureau has confined its activities to the securing of list- ings of available vacant apartments and houses. Now that its office is open does not mean that the Bureau will no longer solicit vacancy list- ings from property owners and real estate men. On the contrary, the work of cooperation with owners and agents will he carried on to a more complete degree as it is desirable to secure as greata valicty of vacant dwellings in all parts 111' the (hicago area as possible. $35.00 is Top From present indictions it appears that the greatest demand will be for dwellings renting;r for $25.00 per month or less, no dwelling renting for more $35.00 will be consid~ cred. In all cases the prospective tenant will be referred to the person holding the keys to the premises. As the Bu~ reau makes no charge, either to the lessor, lessee or realtor, this system will not interfere with the relation- ship between owner and agent. We ran across an old classic in the Minnesota ilaily that seems worth retelling: “At one college a sorority had been complaining that the fra-, ternity boys next door never drewl their shades in the windows of the shower room, which was a continual embarrassment to the young ladies. The dean of women came to the sorority house to take the matter in charge. The girls pointed out their window from which the unshaded window next door was visible. ‘Why, I can‘t even see out of this window,’ i the dean said. ‘Oh,’ they answered in chorus, ‘you have to stand on a) chair.’ " ‘ Nebraska has played 364 football games, winning- 257, losing 80, and, tying 27 for a percentage of 0.696. l This is the Cornhuskers’ 45th sea-iI son in the intercollegiate footballl = field. Thfll’l SWlllllll/ihllS lfiSE Til Willdl'l'l‘ RY 45-29 Mhhfillll Well, it happened again. The Ar— mour swimmers, after defeating Wright Jr. College in a previous meet of the season, had hopes for repeating the performance in their next showing, but alas and alack, they were merely hopes! The boys from the north side were out to win and gained revenge for the 40<35 defeat suffered earlier in the year. Knaus on Sick List It seems as if had luck has dogged the Tech tankincn from the beginning,r of the season, and with Rog Knaus on the sick list the chances of success in the breast stroke events are hampered to no small extent. From the appearance of the times it is evident that the team as a whole needs some pepping up, and if they expect to make any kind of a record at all, they will cer- tainly have to improve. Action started in the 160 yard re- lay wilh the Armour team of Moore, Ruekbcrg, ’I‘allal'uss, and Ahern, coming,r in last. Armour should have won, as the Wright team deserved to be disqualified because one of their men started when his leader was two :lcet from the end of the pool. At the time of this event there were no judges, but due to the protests of the chhawks present, they were immediately picked, and proceeded to keep the remainder of the meet on the level. Armour Takes Medley Thloughout the entirety of the day’ 51 events Armour garnered only one win, this being- in the 180 yald medley. Bernstein, Moore, and S‘tehman put forth an excellent performance and deserve some cred— it for winning: an event in which they were swimming: with a substi- tute. Captain John Ahorn took see and in the (living, and Bob Lyl'ord finished out of the points, in fourth. SUMMARIES 160 Yd. Relay—“Ion by Wright (Mallers, Shore, Cook and llollen). Time, 1:21. 100 Yd.

Lake Forest has resigned from the league due to her freshman rule which is not enforced at the other schools. Be» sides the games scheduled below, there is the probability of one with l'lillsdalc. Injury Jinx Prominent Coach Krallt states that despite the poor outlook at present, due to the lack of good material from last year, and other incidental reasons such as sore shoulders and bad eyes, he ex- pects to put. a team on the field of which every Armour man can well be proud. “Armour has always had good teams, and the one this year will do its utmost to uphold the tradition.” There is little chance that Ilartusok, last year’s catcher, will be able to don the protector and mask, due to the injury 1' oived last year when a ll‘oul ball hit him in the eye. At the ghost his value to the team is a doubt- {I‘ll} quantity.

This battery, pride of the freshman class, is bound to make its name felt in Armour athletic history. Other men, who in Coach Kral’lt‘s opinion will probably form the inuclous of this year’s battery pow- er, are Dunn and Phillips, catchers, and Dollcnmaicr and Delve, pitchers. iThis leaves, however, plenty of room Ion the squad for other aspirin}: Hart- netts and Warncckes. The only majordcttcr men return- line this year are Capt. (Jinieclnski at ilirst, Adamcc in the left garden, Louie [healer and Lnuehiskis in the linficld and tho atom-mentioned lBartusok and Baumcl, battery—men. Phillips, a catcher, and Shcwchuck, utility fielder, are returning minor letter men. ARMOUR TECH R E Event Record College Two Mile Relay 11:07 5) College One Mile Relay 3:2, .

Captain Johnny Roberts will seek honors 111 the hurdle races and he ought. be accompanied by George Nelson, if he doesn‘t cut enough running. Neal, among others of the above relay contestants, should en- ter the 440 yard run, and Bcjcck, Rodriguez, and Kulpuk are entered 111 lield events. All interesting feature of the re» lays is that, despite the six years of competition, all marks have been set 111 the last three years. Four of the existing records were set last: year, [our remain from '33, and seven- re- main as the unbcttcrod eli'orts ol' the athletes competing in 1932. Champs Retlirn Lowry, star vaulter Irom Michi— can Normal, missed the record by one inch last year, and is possibly the outstanding- source of a new rec— ord this season. Randall Herman, former Oak Park sprinter, stepped out of seclusion in Carleton brevi- tics to set a dash record last year— and he should be a possibilitywat least for a first. The relay event winners remain a toss-up until the bia' night, since it is too early to predict from this season’s work. However, Pittsburgh, Michig, n1State, and Michigan Normal must be re- membered as the big winners last year and all return with defenders for the seventh relays. It will be of considerable import- ance for you to come early if you expect to sit, even though more bleachers than over before are being erected. individual Medals for Winners Besides all the famous sportsmen, there will be many renowned of- ficials as judges. As rewards, indi- vidual medals of gold, sIIver, and b1onzo will be given to winners and plaeers in the events. Students may use their passes to see the names and can also buy guest tickets here at school for 40 cents Tickcts at the gate will be 75 cents.
