Tuesday, February I8, l936 Math Club to Hear Talks From Members Future talks at the Math Club meetings will be given by members; at the next meeting, N. G. Lozins ‘will present a paper on “The Life of Pythagoras”; the next speaker, J. 0. Bobhill. will talk on “The Pythagorean Theorem and Its Ap- plications.” At a fUture meeting, George Thodos will speak on “T-. section of an Angle, and Duplicatim of the Cube.” According to Sydney Miner, pres- ident, future meetings of the club will be interesting to all students and especially to freshmen, all of whom are invited. A. i. Ch. E. (Continued from page 1) patent law are to work for a patent attorney or merely to happen into it by accident. Mr. Parkhurst also discussed the subject of patents. “A patent," he said, “is a monopoly granted by the federal government to an individual for something that is new, useful, and inventive.” The articles which may be patented are arts, like new processes, compositions of matter like new chemical compounds, manu— factures, and machines. That a patent gives its owner the exclusive right to make and sell his invention is not necessarily true; all it gives is the right to exclude others from his claims. When there are several conflicting patents over one inven- tion, the result is a tangle for the U. S. Patent Office to straighten out. The first step in patenting an in- vention is to file an application; it must contain a petition, an oath of purpose, specifications, plans, and claims. Federal examiners look over the applications and decide whether it is new, useful. and inventive. The other topic taken up at the meeting was the subject of the chem- ical laboratory fees going to pur» poses other than the laboratory. It was found, however, that part of the fees had gone toward the store- keepcr’s salary and repairs. Fire Protects Visit Interesting Exhibit During the past few weeks an in— teresting display of fire department equipment has q,becn shown at Man- del Brothers by the Committee on Fire Prevention of the Chicago As— sociation of Commerce. Actual fire alarms were rezeived direct from the Central Alarm office in the Cjty Hall and visitors were allowed to listen to the announce- ment of the location of fire. Vis- itors were shown how to turn in alarms from boxes. There are about 2560 alarm boxes in Chicago with the greatest number distributed in the loop and in the manufacturing districts. First aid devices used for extin- guishing fires in their incipicncy were shown. One interesting;- de- vice consisted of a green flask con- taining water, ammonia, and salt. It was to be thrown at the fire and if the thrower was lucky, possibly put the fire out. Relics and pictures of the Chicago fire were displayed in glass cases. One poster gave some interesting information about the Chicago fire department. Chicago purchased its first piece of fire apparatus during the term of Mayor Ogden in 1844 for $850. At that time lawyers and influential men belonged to the volunteer fire department. It was considered influential politically and otherwise to belong to the fire de- partmcnt. Class in Management Offered as Elective Seniors who have completed or are taking business policy, social science 401, have been otfered an elective course titled studies in man- agement. This course will carry two credit hours. After selecting a field or problems for study, the students will investi gate the problem by systematic reading supplements by a term re— port involving application of the principles studied. Material for thc term report may be obtained )3} fieldwork or literary research. Armour Cage Trip Nets (his Victory Techawko Beat Normal, Lose to Detroit In an attempt to repeat last year’s successful trip, the Armour cagers traveled to Michigan between semes— ters. Michigan State Normal fell by a score of 29-25 but the Techawks lost to Detroit by the overwhelming score of 53-29. Armour’s victory over Michigan State Normal was the second this year. The Techawks apparently had the game cinched at the half with the score standing at 26-13. At this stage of the contest Normal changed tactics and started shooting from the center of the floor instead of work- ing the ball in under the basket. This system out down Armour's lead con— siderably, and in the last ten min- utes of play the Hurons outscored the Chicagoans 12 to 3. I-Ieike led the scoring for Armour with six bas- kets and two free throws. Rukamp led Normal with a total of eight points. Two of Normal’s stars, Wendi; and Hanneman, were out of the game; Wendt with an ankle in- jury sustained in the previous cn- counter with Armour, and Hanncman because of ineligibility. Scouts Watch Game The Michigan Normal game was watched with considerable interest by Coach Brazil of Detroit and sev— eral members of his team in prepara- tion for the contest with Armour in Detroit on the following Monday. On Monday the Titians protected a record of eight straight victories and added a ninth by smothering the Engineers under a 53 to 29 score. The Armour cagers played very disorganized ball, while the Detroit five sank shots from all over the floor.

It consists of the impregnation of the cloth fibers with a borric acid—borax mixture and then the coating of this cloth with cel— lulose acetate instead of cellulose nitrate as now used. The meeting of the Association of Consulting Psychologists brings to light the fact that “children at the age of seven should have complete- ly disavowed not only Santa Claus but the entire spirit world, includ- ing Easter bunnies and fairies.” Girls playing with dolls at the age of seven are reverting to “lower be- haviour.” The letter A appears at the be- ginning of the alphabet because in the days when some thoughtful per- son devised alphabet signs to rep- resent sounds, the ox was wor- shipped as a god. A is for alep, ox. In the Near East, a man does not start on a journey or begin work without calling God’s name, and it was proper to begin the alpha: bet with a sign of diety. The sec— ond letter, B, stood for house, the symbol of the family, or man, and properly second to God. And so on through the alphabet, there are certain meanings deeper than those usually assigned to the picture signs. -—Science News Letter Better Vision Institute reports that studies on paint reflection values show that white has a reflection val- no of from 84 to 89 per cent, cream '77 per cent, bufl’ 63 percent, light green 22 per cent, gray 46 per cent, brown 16 per cent, and black only 2 per cent. 0n ceilings and walls, these values may make the differ- ence between a. poorly lighted and well lighted interior. ARMOUR TECH NEWS iron TRA‘CKMEN TAKE assume is! TRIANGEE MEET Last Saturday’s triangular track meet, bringing together Armour, Loyola and Chicago, at the Univer- sity of Chicago’s field, house, was won handily by the home squad, who piled up a total of ,64 points. Armour, with a total of 32 was sec— ond, and Loyola brought up the rear with 23, Although the Chicago boys ran away with seven firsts and a hall dozen seconds, Armour, despite the absence of Captain‘vConcolino, came in for their share of honors by tak- ing all of the distance events. li'in- negan took both the half mile and the mile, and Faust took the honors in the two mile run. The most outstanding perform- ance was turned in by Finnegan in winning his events. in the mile, the first of the two, Finnegan and Smith of Chicago ran toe and toe for most of the race. Starting out behind his man, he remained there until he thought proper to step into the lead. This lead was retained most of the remaining laps, and dropping back when two laps remained, Finnegan remained in second place, close be- hind Smith, until they had but a hundred yards to go, then, with an astonishing burst of speed, passed his man and won by several yards. In the half mile event Ryan of Armour stepped into the lead with Finnegan following a close second. Throughout most of the race nothing much was done to alter these posi- tions but in the last lap Ryan began to tire and James of Chicago drew closer. Finnegan at this point came up along side of his team-mate and attempted to urge him on, but Ryan had had his time and was just too tired to do anything about it, so that all Finnegan could do was win the event himself, with Ryan triv- ing over second place to James.

A recent foreign patent uses zinc or aluminum soaps as impregnating agents in a new waterproofing proc- ess for fabrics. The material is treated, either during the impregna- tion or afterwards, with a solution of formaldehyde. “Excellent re- sults" are claimed on both fabrics and paper. After journeying 13% miles into the stratosphere, spores of plant dis- ease are still growing in a laboratory of the Department of Agriculture. The spores, carried on the balloon Explorer II, had to withstand: (1) Temperatures lower than 65 degree below zero Fahrenheit; (2) very low atmospheric pressures; (3) ultra- violet rays from the sun which never reach the earth and are capable of killing some forms of life; (4) ozone; (5) extreme dryness.
