Page Four By A. Zarem Fascism A long time has passed since the last article on foreign affairs ap— peared in this column—and for good reasons, too. So rapidly have events occurred that it has become unsafe to write an article on current events Friday, that was to appear in public the following Tuesday. Like as not, some crisis would arise between times which would make the article useless from the standpoint of “news.” Consequently it is safer to proceed upon something more gen- eral in nature. Now that Herr Hitler has succeedv ed in annexing Austria as a part of the Third Reich, it seems that he is redoubling his efforts to do likewise to others of that small group of de- fenseless nations which lie within his grasp. Hitler is being repeatedly tempt ed by his past successes as an ag- gressor and now we even find him boldly forging his way into the west- ern hemisphere. South America Last week the Brazilian govern- ment succeeded in putting down an attempt by the Fascist Green Shirts to overthrow the government. The rebellion lasted three and one-half hours and although no foreign par— ticipation has been admitted official- ly, large quantities of arms, daggers, bombs, and munitions of German manufacture have been seized in the course of “mopping up.” It is cer— tainly hoped that our officials in Washington begin to realize soon how serious affairs in South Amer-v ice have become. We are courting danger by delaying investigations of Fascist movements any longer. Hungary. Czechoslovakia Last Friday in Budapest, Hungary, the cabinet of Premier Koloman Dar— anyl, finding itself confronted by an expanding Nazi movement, resigned. The regent of Hungary, Admiral Nicholas Ilorthy, is now left with the problem of getting a new- govern- ment which will be strong enough to control these Nazis. Czechoslovakia is also having her troubles. Unless something drastic takes place, she, too, will soon see the armed might of Germany. In any case, Czechoslovakia has a lot of those things that :Hitler needs and wants. So on the one side we have the Czechs, potential victims of Ger- many’s expansion in Central Europe, while on the other side stand France, Great Britain, and Russia. of these three, France is faced with the greatest task. She is bend- int,r over double in her attempt to save Czechoslovakia, maintain her Polish alliance, and balk German cx~ pansion—all at once. Russia, Germany, Poland In all of these operations, Russia remains the big question mark. Were it not for Japan, Russia would prob- ably be quicker in resenting the un— friendly attitudes of Germany and Poland. Although it seems reason- able that Poland will go definitely pro-Nazi in the event of a conflict, Russia cannot afford to become em- broiled with either nation for any reason whatever. Even if there is reason to believe that she can well take care of her- self, Russia will have to tread lightly, for if she concentrates her displeas~ ure upon Germany, Japan will cer- tainly take advantage of it. Russia, like the rest of the world, is in a real dilemma. lllllfilfi TALK-m (Continued from page one) like framework suspended below; and thirdly the Zeppelin type, which pro. vides for a rigid framework enclos- ing the multiple gas cells or bal- loonettes.

Kiss- O—M eter "Wows" Visitors Two of Armour Tech’s fighting en< ginecrs crashed their way to head- lines with tho invention of their own famous Kiss-O»Meter. Larry Strochia and Emil Daniel, junior electricals, had the brilliant idea to construct a machine that would register the elec~ trical resistance of a kiss. A mass of wires, plugs, transform- ers and the all-important needle to register the resistance, all connected together represented the machine that attracted vast crowds at Open House Night last Wednesday. Every newspaper in the city sent photog- raphers and reporters to witness this novel invention, Co-inventcr Strochin said, “Our Kiss~O-Meter ought to prove a great boon to husbands, who will be able to see if their wives are still faith- ful." Co-invontcr Daniel added, “We are now working to reduce the Kiss‘ O—Metcr to vest pocket size—wow!” Ian Keith was present last Wednes- day to try out his Hollywood sex- appeal on the Frazce Sisters, the swinging torch singers of the Cher Parce. True to form, when the lips of said Keith touched the lips of either of said Frazee sisters, the bell rang and the transformer burned out. DR.

Biggest development was the “kiss—o-metcr,” and by the looks of things, engineering students are not shy when the “interests of science” are at stake. Thursday afl- emoon, one Dorothy White, profes- sional model (and blonde too!) posed for some publicity picture» with the machine. First “guinea pig" was R. PERRY, who, clutching the young lady and the brass electrodes, sent the pointer to 65. Previously a large horse fly, which had been placed be- tween the electrodes, send the read- ing to a 90. Then along came VAN- DEKIEFT, and without seemingly even trying, seal: the pointer to 120, and rang the bell.

IHANSEN found that there were more wolves around school than he had bargained for. Bringing that little blonde with the bright green coat to the open house dance, he found that cutting in eight or ten times a dance was legion. They tell me her name is Rae. a - a Hero of the Senioeraculty game was MR. POTTER. Best the seniors could do against his pitching 51m. were to hit them on the first bounce for homers. In batting he left them breathless by hitting a smash to the pitcher that was good for four bases. Pitcher Zazn threw the ball over the fieldhouae in pegging to first. ARMOUR TECH NEWS May ‘Frontier’ Released Soon Released soon will be the May is- sue of The Frontier, news maga- zine of the Armour Tech ResearCh Foundation. It will emphasize the heat transfer work being done by Dr. Max Jacob in the heat transfer lab- oratory. It is the regular policy of The Frontier to lay stress upon the re- search activities of some member of the foundation in each issue. Last month the theme was Dr. Ziegler’s work on x-ray crystallography and x-my diffraction analysis. The issue included a biographical sketch of Dr. Ziegler and an article by Dr. Ziegler. A popular page in the magazine is one called “New Methods—New Ideas.” GRACE Moons \ ANDRE KOSTELANE’I‘Z PAUL WHITEMAN DEEMS TAYLOR PAUL DOUGLAS Purclue Beats Tech Despite Nick and loe Despite the fact that Nick Natin- chek won his seventh straight and Joe Kubic took his sixth, the Armour tennis team dropped its match to Purdue. The match, which was played last Saturday at the Univ— versity of Chicago fieldhouse, went to Purdue, 4 to 3. Swanson, playing number one for the Hawks, dropped his match to Fuente of Purdue after nearly two hours of play, 9!], 0-6, 4-6. In the first set, neither man could break the opposite service until the fifteenth game when Ed broke through and then won his own service to take the set. However, Fuente turned on the heat and won the match but only after a hard struggle. Niel: Wins Close One Natinchek gave several signs of blowing before he came through to beat Leon Jordner, 6-2, 3-6, 10—8. The slippery courts proved a handi» cap to Nick, who lost several setups because of poor footing. The victory made it seven in a row for Nick, whose last defeat was to Atkins of Chicago. Kubic had to come from behind to cop his match but he was able to do it and finally won out over Blitz, 1—6, 6-2, 108. Several times during the encounter Joe got up off the court to retrieve hard shots and save his game. He gave a wry fine ex— hibition of defensive tennis. Due to the delay in starting and the length of time in playing the matches, the Purdue team had to de— fault the last doubles game to catch a train. Other Results: Lange (A) lost to Jackson (P), 4~6, 2-6. Wagner (A) lost to Mann (P), 4—6, 2-6. Swanson and Natin— chek (A) lost to Fuentc and .‘Iordner (P), 2-6, «L6. Kubic and Lange‘ (A) won by default.

A year’s posses- sion of the traveling cup was ob- tained by the Phi Kaps with the win- ing tally of M. It was a keenly contested game; both teams played hard and fast, no technicality be— ing so small that it didn’t excite at least a heated argument. Little scor‘ ing was done in the earlier part of the game, both pitchers heaving the apple past the batter. By the first of the eighth the Phi Kaps had a four to two lead, but considering it inadequate, they add- ed three more. Holding the Dclts scoreless for the duration of the game and adding: two more runs of their own accounted for the Phi Kap victory. fimokcrs the world over know that They Satisfy is the signal for more smoking pleasure. cigarette can have. ghosterfields are made of mild ripe tobaccos~homengrown and aromatic Turkish—and pure eigen- rette paper . . . the best ingredients a With Chesterfields you are always sure of relreshingi wildness, more pleasing aroma and better taste. ...gioiag MQEE PKEASUEE to a whole world of sorted is Copyright 1938, Liaosn‘ & Myers TOBALCO (To.
