THIS NEW triumph for Germany places her in closer contact with’ Czechoslavakia, Austria, Hungary, and, incidentally, France. Should Germany continue to spread its sphere of influence in this direction, there can be no doubt that France will go into action immediately. We still hear that the next war will see the utilization of instruments of death which will magnify the hor- rors of war many thousands of times. Everyone has heard of new inventions of death rays, new explosives, more deadly gasses, and radio-controlled bombs. These devices coupled with the the use of bacillus warfare are the outstanding: bugagoos of the next war. Contrary to popular opinion there is good reason to believe that none of them will find much use. Running down the list we notice that none of them have been developed to the “practical” stage. Let me men— tion some of the many problems and difficulties that have to be cleared away before any of those death deal— ing devices can be used. ALTHOUGH PILOTLESS airv planes have been successfully flown by radio, this could not very easily be accomplished during the war. The ether would be loaded with radio waves of all descriptions and confu- sion would probably result. Consid- ering that by chance, or with the aid of some newly devised methods, ex- ternal influences could be eliminated —how could an opera/tor controlling one of these planes tell when to drop his load of bombs? Equal difficulties present them— selevs in the other cases. No satis- factory method of protection from bacteria has pushed the use of this type of warfare far into the future. What good is it to spread deadly 'gel‘ms if one’s own army cannot be protected from them? In the matter of death rays and new explosives nothing much can be said. The tremendous amount of work done on death rays still hasn’t helped the thing outgrow its experimental stage. straightened up yet after his Milwau- kee visit of last Wednesday.

Mr. Atlee is chief engineer 'of "tube development for the General Electric X—Ray Corporation. He has been connected with this branch of the General Electric Company for three years, After graduating from ‘Oregon State College he spent five yeas at the G. E. test Laboratory in Schenectady. These valuable years ioi' (experience place Mr. Atlee in a position to treat the subject in a manner that will be interesting to all. 1 Members and n0n~members alike :are welcome at this meeting. ARMOU Aerodynamics Class Visits Chicago Municipal Airport Adding an aspect of reality and practicality to their studies, Prof. M. B. Wells’ class in aerodynamics vis- ited the Chicago Municipal airport last Friday afternoon. The class became a group of Hawk— shaws, inspecting with interest sev- eral planes used by the United Air Lines Co. From there, they were taken through the maintainance ban» ger of the American Airways Co. Here they saw a Douglas DST plane (a transatlantic sleeper that travels between Los Angeles and New York) in process of complete overhauling. They also saw the engine maintain- ancc division, where airplane engines are completely overhauled after every 450 hours of running time. In this division, they saw an engine on the test block, where each engine is given an initial five hours of run- ning, before it is rte-installed on the plane. The American Airways principal maintainance division is in Chicago, where each airplane is periodically given a complete overhauling, which takes an average of seven to twelve days to finish.

The first play was a well~executcd sleeper pass from Rothenbcrg' to Ryan who crossed the goal unmolest- ed. The conversion was accomplished on a toss, Kruse to Lyokbcrg. Again the chcms received and marched to a touchdown. 0n the next kickoff Rothenbcrg of the thirty—niners latex-aled to Krusc who outran the opposition for the score. The co-ops kicked off and finally had their first offensive chance of the game after the chums had lost the ball on downs, but the chance came to naught when Speng- ler intercepted a co-op pass and crossed the goal line. Krusc soon intercepted another co~op pass, and the chums scored a few minutes later on Krusc's toss to Spengler adding the point on a pass, Rohtenbcrg‘ to Krusc. ' A new scoring record seemed very likely at the beginning of the cond half, but the co-ops battled their op-v poncnts to a stand still throughout the remainder of the game.
