ARMOUR TECH NEWS Armour students, you would think, are too old and too dignified to play hide-and-seek. But events that tool. place last Friday just after schou‘ let out at five revealed the lack of basis of the aforesaid thought. On the contrary, they are not averse to the good old childish game of hide- and-seek, especially when the hider has violated a traffic ordinance and the seeker is a stern guardian of the law. Upon learning of the delightful game being played, the heart of this reporter palpitated with joy and long- pent~up feelings were unloosed. Oh, that he too could playl So to the office he hurried to find out the win and whenforcs, and sundry rules of the game. But Officer John Peterson was fast tiringr of this juvenile sport. When queried Officer John let loose a flurry of words ~— cars, wrong side of the street, section 24 was all he seemed to be able to say.

Officer Pete of the Stanton Police Station at 35th and Rhodes with the fraternal spirit of brotherliness. Eventually it came out. Officer Peterson on whose proud chest is pinned star number 7042, and who now felt so authoritive and com- manding, not so long ago had with— ered under the stern glance and harsher words of his superior officer. Ofiicer Pete had been too bencvo» lent, too easy on the law-breakers that are the Armour students. “Quit warning; them," he was told. On those who had violated section 2/1 of the Chicago Traffic Ordinance. the now determined officer sought to :‘mite with all his worth the penalty the law demanded. “No Students, No Tickces" To come to the point. A few Ar~ mour students perked their cars last Friday on the wrong side of the street in spite of the many warnings Officer Peterson had given them. For thut Pete smote or tried to smite the luckltsn students with a traili. ticket. But the students refused to be smitten. “No students, no tickec," mumbled Officer Pete. A policeman, a ticket; 2. ticket, two bucks; so no tickets rtsolved the studes. The policeman vaited, the stu— dents hid, but ere a short time had elapsed ()reste Tomei had been ticketed.

McCormack of the chemical engineering dcpartment at Armour, attended the 28th annual meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers at Columbus, Ohio. The meeting was of a gen tral nature in which many important engineering subjects were discussed in detail. Some of these topics were: the construction and operation of rotary lime kilns and lime hydrators soda pulp for paper, sewa're (1151303?! and garbage incineration, heat trans- fer coefficients during dropvwise condensation of steam, and width subjects.

Sheollnn Armour’s oldest student, Emil Lodcr. an elderly man with youthful vigor and ambition, a man of slight build and thin features, and a sopho— more student in architecture, is probably Armour’s most unusual stu- dent. Emil has the real Armour spirit. lie wore his “green cap" faithfully all of last year. But he doesn‘t care whether or not the freshmen wear them this year. He says, “It’s a1. right for me, but I don’t care wheth— er or not they wear them. You know in Europe the high School boys ha“ a regular cap.” Born in Hon; Mountains Emil was born in 1879 in a sm'zl. village in the [{m'z Mountains in Germany where his father had a small carpenter shop. He served h} apprenticeship with his father an; “when seventeen yeti-2:, old started on my way into the world as thr journeymen used to do durinp; tht medieval age —— wandering from place to place with a bundle of a few belongings on my back." (It was a common practice at that time in: an artisan to travel for chu‘el years after completing his appren» ticeship.) “All over central Europe wen hostclries (Herberge Zur lizimat) whore traveling journeymen could get inexpensive lodgings and meals. Here the master artisans used to come when they needed help. A itrnngc and interesting crowd could usually be observed at these places 'n the evening; young men and old ones from the far off corners of Europe mingled here." As. a considerable part of cabinet work was still made by hand journeyman had little trouble in getting a job. Wages were low but so was the cost of living. Strum:- ers were welcomed and invited t.) ioin hikes on Sundays and (antei into their festivities and donors.

I saw the World's Fair of Paris in 1900.” From 1901 to 1906, Mr. Ladcr re» mained in London whenn he found that changing technology require: his learning a differentwny of do» ing,r cabinet work. Again he was hampered, in his visits to the West- minster Abbey, St. Peul's Goths» dral, Windsor Castle, Tower of Lon- don, Crystal Palace. and many others by his ignorance of arehiteC» ture and its historical ussociution. As Mr. Lndcr says, “During those ycnrs I became well—acquainted with the masses of crooked streets and fine parks that make up London, but I am sorry to Say that I had never read any of Dicken’s novels; in fan. for two years I lived in the same block where Charles Lamb had his collage without knowing that he was u celebrnted writer.“ The spring of 1906 saw Emil in St. Louis where he worked as a cab- inet mnker in a large our shop. As the work became monotonous and life was dull, he decided to take a correspondence course. “I found this study very interesting: and in fact I changed my ways of living altogeth- er. All my spare time for the next few years I devoted for study." “The panic of 1907-8 was badly felt -in St. Louis. I found employ- ment with railroads, and was sent to different places building coal chutes and other work. I did store and bar fixture work in Denver for four years and then I came to Chi- cago in 1913. “Here I got acquainted with the sweat Shop—the. sweat shop under union conditions. Probably no~ where else in the world is the work— msn so unmcrcii'ully driven by the boss as hire in Chicago. And there are good reasons for it—extremely high wages, a scarcity of jobs, and an over-supply of labor make intol~ arable working conditions possible.” He Becomes u Draftsman Through his efforts in studying during his spare time, he was able to accept a job as draftsmau of bank and store-fixtures and special cabs inet work. “Fortunately we experienced pros- porous times in Chicago and it was my fortune to gain valuable experi- ence; we got the contracts for cab- inet and carpenter work of many important buildings in Chicago. I had plenty of opportunity to see how skyscrapers and other types of ”buildings were constructed; my dec sire to know more about building: construction increased. From High School to Armour The depression brought about a great change, wages went down and little work came in. I had been with the concern for thirteen years and I didn't care to stay idle for any considerable time. I entered tlu Y. M. C.

S. Geological Sm“- vey, namely, issue numbers L403 (87 bound volumes) and numbers 404» 660 (unbound), were received re- cently by the library as a gift from the private callection of E. T. Per- kins of Chicago. The curl-snt num- bers, 660 to date, are also in the library, having been received from the publishers. Since the earlier numbers are very rare, they have considerable value. Another value of this accession is that the students of the chemical engineering: depart- ment who heretofore found it ncccs~ sary to use the copies in the Crerar Library now have the complete series of these publications close at bend. During the past semester, the li- brarian compiled a bound index the first twenty volumes of the Armour Engineer.
