Page Four Monday, September 23, l935 Library to Have Many New Books Miss Wirick, genial assistant li- brarian, has left Armour to take the post of librarian at the Southwest- ern College in Winfield, Kansas. Her work will be replaced by that of Miss Virginia Neal on October 1. Miss Neal studied at Carnegie Institute ‘ and has been working with the Inter~ national Filter Company.

Professor J. F. Mangold’s new book is included in the above list. . Miss Steele, who vacationed a month at her home in Lake Forest by swimming and horseback riding, will soon prepare a list of‘reference libraries of interest and use to the Armour students. This list will be posted on the library bulletin board soon and will also be printed in the News. Miss Verwey was on sick leave this summer from July 1 to the last week in August. NEW PRQFS— (Continued from page 1) Snediker, replaces Kent Parker as instructor in Fire Protection Engin- eering. Mr. Snediker has recently been transferred from the Minnea- polis Bureau to the Chicago branch of the Western Acturial Bureau. Dr. Lockling is now teaching at the University of Illinois. His place has been taken by Mr. Wm. Goetz, a graduate of the University of Chi- cago. Mr. Goetz has taken engineer- ing courses at Cornell and graduate work at Chicago “U.” He has taught at. the Universities of Buffalo and of Chicago, besides doing commercial work for the James 0. McKinsey Co. Frank Oster Is New Clouds Room Guardian A familiar face around Armour for the last forty years or so will greet Armour students in a new capacity today. Tall, mustached Frank 0s— ter, who has grown gray in the serv— ice of the Institute, will now take charge of the cloak room. His job is the exchanging of hats and coats for metal checks and vice versa. William 1.. Kane, whom the seniors will remember as tool room boy in the machine shop and who in recent years served in the capacity of janitor, assumes the duties of cus— todian in charge of the buildings.

If such is the case, such important germs as those which cause colds, influenza, and infantile paralysis may soon be isolated. Sixty per cent of our transport; flying in the United States is done at night. The Ford Motor Company has per- fected a new method for rustproof— ing. Zinc is deposited by alternating current. As a result of the use of al- ternating current, hydrogen is not formed at the cathode, thus permit- ting the deposition of a zinc coating that is neither fragile nor crystal- line. Aztec Indians of Mexico, long whe- t‘ore modern psychiatry, considered fear and fatigue as diseases calling for medical treatment. When carbon black was introduced in concrete to reduce glare from the road, it was found to have a strengthening effect on the concrete. Chemists may now have invisible gloves~they come in a can and look like cream. On rubbing this cream into his hands, it disappears, form- ing a protective film which keeps dirt, grease, paint, and so on from entering the pores. This cream is then removed by rinsing in water. It is known as “Pro-Tek” and is finding wide use among doctors and me- chanics. By a unanimous vote of the Amer. ican Chemical Society’s committee, the first Eli Lilly and Company award in Bio-Chemistry has been made to Willard Myron Allen of the School of Medicine and Dentistry of the University of Rochester, Roch— ester, New York. The basis for the award is the outstanding work done by Dr. Allen in developing a sharp~ 1y defined biological test for the ac- tion of corpus luteum, the use of this test to isolate in crude form a potent extract, and then the com- plete purification of the hormone now called “progestin.” The U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sun vey will soon have a chance to see if the earth’s crust, from 17 to '75 miles thick, will bend under the enormous load at Boulder Dam——/ll,— 500,000,000 tons. Engineers expect an area of twelve square miles to sink six—tenths of a foot. This will be the greatest load man has ever put on a single place of the earth’s surface. The vitamin necessary to produce, fertility in female animals is vita— min E. Evidence leads to the belief that this vitamin is a high alcohol, containing 29 atoms of carbon, 50 atoms of hydrogen, and two atoms of oxygen. l The Iron Horse does not seem to be dying quite as fast as many would have us believe. The Baltimore and Ohio R. R. streamlined passenger train, recently completed, is almost as revolutionary in design and con- struction as the much heralded Die- , sel operated trains.

Mechanical Alumnus Wins Singing Honors Alexander Kulpak, graduate of the department of mechanical engi« neering last June, a former track man, first violinist for the Armour Orchestra, and a soloist in the glee club presented a vocal concert this summer at the Blue Island, Illinois '{irst centennial. Kulpak’s engagement at Blue 15- land came as a result of his victory in the bass section of the Tribune Music Festival contest for the west side at the Midwest Athletic Club.‘ Kulpal: sang several numbers-re— cently over radio station WLS, where he has been invited to sing again. Prof. G. l’Vilcox Doing Radio Research Work Extensive tests on insulating ma- terials for radio frequency were among the research activities carried on at the Institute during the past summer. Conducted by P’rof. Guy M. Wilcox, professor emeritus of physics, for the Di—Electric Radio Corporation of Jersey City, the tests were part of a series extending over several years. Bakelite and other common insula- tors being unsuited for radio-fre- quency circuits, the Di-Electric Cor- poration is engaged in trying to find more efficient substance. A great many such materials as varnishes, lacquers, and ceramics have been tested. STUDENT AEF‘JVES IN ROOM. TURNS CRANK IN MOVIE sees FAN oAucea. X-RAY MACHINE. .

Dean Heald now occupies the otl‘ice south of the main entrance, formerly used by the President. The office of Dr. Hotchkiss was moved to the second floor, just north of the elevator. Certain changes have «been made in the business offices of Ar- mour that made it advisable to have all these offices together.

This gift of wall board was obtained through Professors Peebles and Morcton and T. B. Munroe, vice- president of the Celotcx Company. Professor Moreton also had charge of of the construction and design of the oil’iccs. Dust-free air is provided by a fil— ter. The appearance of the new of- fices is modern and lends distinction to the second floor. More than 6,000,000 spot welds and 1,500,000 inches of scam weld- imgw—without a single reject because of faulty welds—have been accom- plished in the manufacture of evap— orator units for (3-13 refrigerators. The spot welding is at the rate of 150 per minute, and the seam weld- ing at the rate of ’72 inches per minw ute on the stainless steel unit. Program Committee ofA. I. Ch. E.

We are happy to print that many of the ARK of the class of 1935 have been placed in jobs. that are in or directly connected with nrchitec» ture. Thin is is good barometer to confirm the general opinion of the field that things are actually “pick" inn-up." So no to it, you ’39’orn. A few of the boys who will return to school as seniors this year were employed during the summer by Prof. William F. McCuughey in his Park Ridge architectural office. As he has done in the past few years, Prof. Earl H. Reed Jr., direc- tor of the department of architec- ture, spent several wceks, in Estes Park. No doubt, he has returned as usual with many fine water color sketches. Ran into Prof. Albert Krehbiel the other day in the Art Institute. He had just returned from his sum- mer class of forty—two art students at Saugatuck, Michigan. Boys, he never looked better in our recollec— tion, and he tips the pointer at 190 pounds. “Kreh” has long been a first! of H. P. Milleville, R. Paulson, J. F. Kahles, and O.

Professor McCormack has shown in- terest in the procedure and promises to have available a statistical survey of the alumni of the chemical engi- neering department, especially of the more successful graduates. In addition, each member of the program committee investigated this summer, several subjects of interest to the chemical engineering students. ratet-one-o the-best charcoal wield- ers. This year he's going to be more potent than ever, and everyone in the department will be benefited. After about two years of real pleasure in conducting ARX NEWS, yours truly is going to divulge to the mass of his readers the deep- dwrlc secret of his identity (which everybody knows anyway). Because with. this issue EAGLE EYE again becomes an ordinary citizen and dis- cards his “incognito." We could mcn~ lion the name of the next ARX NEWSE'D, but we're inclined to be» licre that he would like to fool the public just as EAGLE EYE has done (Now isn't that a. laugh?)
