Patent on Dlsplay Ease As a reward for his efforts in dc» sign of refrigerated display cases, I. Footlik was granted a patent on a “Streamlincr,” product of his father‘s firm. Footlik, a junior, began his work in August 1933, from inspiration of the Century of Progress Exposition, held in this city in 1933-1934. Work— Humon Engineering Lab is Established in Glessner Home Professor Johnson O'Connor who originated the Human Engineering Laboratory at Stevens Institute of Technology has wanted for some time to ‘cstablish a permanent instead of a temporary laboratory in Chicago. It looks as if his wish will be ful» filled, for the Human Engineering Laboratory has just moved into the Glcssner House at the corner of Prairie and Eighteenth Streets. At present it is being conducted by Mr. John M. Howe, who is one of tho very few men whom Professor O’Connor would trust with that task. It is expected that the laboratory will become an integral part of the Armour Institute of Technology. This is one of the many ways which on- ables the Institute to broaden the range of its services to the commun- ity. Dr. Krathwohl of the Depart- ment of Educational Tests gave his version of the laboratory in the fol- lowing manner: “The laboratory is called “human” because it deals pri» marily and exclusively with human beings. It is called “engineering” hc~ cause it deals with human beings in a scientific and matter of fact way. Professor O’Connor is very insistent that results of his laboratory should be based on mathematical principles instead of on speculation and wish- ful thinking. “The Human Engineering Labora— tory has been in existence in one form or another for fifteen years. It can otter a definite service to individuals who are in doubt as to the occupation for which they are best fitted. It does so by testing the aptitudes of an in— dividual. Some occupations require that certain aptitudcs should be pres: cut to a particular degree, and what is more interesting, that certain other optitudcs should be decidedly limited. That is to say, the absence of some abilities is sometimes just as impor— tant as their presence. The labora- tory is prepared to give service both to men and to women. It also aids firms who wish to raise their cffi~ cicncy by the proper placing of their employees. In some instances it has been found that the interchange of a task between two employees not only has increased their efficiency, but has made each one happier with his work.” because ing constantly over the drawing board, he finished his plans and ap~ plied to Washington, D. C. for a pat- out. In 1935 he was notified that am other firm was given patents on a display case similar in design. Filing claims with the Patent Office, the case was investigated and a patent issued to Footlik just recently.

President At one of the liveliest meetings in many moons, the Fire Protects decids ed last Friday on the men who are to lead them during the coming your. The results were close in every case and the races were hotly contested all along the line. A delegation of sophomores made a strenuous effort to secure every office except the presidency, but were defeated on.all but one count by a coalition of the juniors and seniors. The men elected were Paul Iloff~ man, president; Bob Morrison, vice— prcs.; Steve Finnegan, secretary; and Tom Hunter. treasurer. The question of where to hold their annual smoker was brought up after the election. Several places and dates were suggested, but most of them had a defect that made them unsatisfactory. The tentative date and place were finally set as a week from this coming‘ Thursday in room “D” Mission. This may have to be changed, for one reason or another, but it is hoped that the question is at last settled. ’Foundutlon' hubs Doing Vital Work Without making much ado about it, the Research Foundation has been quietly and efficiently making impor- tant contributions to pure and up plied science. Dr. Ziegler, director of the X—ray laboratory, has been doing some very important work on the hydro i’ilm balance. The three most important improvements which he has made on this sensitive instrument appara- tus is absolute humidity control, ab- solute temperature control through the use of a circulating thermostat, and a motor—driven mechanism for taking readings. Dr. Godwin, director of coal re- search, has been working on coal colloirlolly suspended in oil. He has found that a mixture containing 40 per cent coal and 60 per cent oil enables coal companies to get a bet» ter price for their coal (lust.

Senior Elvils Tour Seweroge blunts Senior members of the civil en- gineering department spent all day Friday inspecting several engineer- ing projects located in four differ- ent cities about Illinois. The trip, which was under the direction of As— sociate Professor H. Vagtborg of the civil engineering department, in- cluded a luncheon address by the mayor of one of the cities. The. civils inspected the principle features of sewage treatment plants of which the smaller cities usually have only one. The group first visited the May- wood Water Works, where the auto- matic “Zeolitc Process” was shown in operation. The “Putman process” of sewage treatment was inspected in the St. Charles Sewage Treatment Works. It was explained that the process in- volves only a chemical transforma- tion and does not depend on the “biological” processes commonly em— ployed in sewage treatment. Luncheon was had in a private dining room of the Baker Hotel, where the students had the pleasure of being addressed by the mayor of St. Charles. The next stop was Geneva, Illiv nois, whose sewage treatment works won first prize for having the most beautiful sewage plant. The acti- watcd sludge system is used. Moth— zinc gas generated from the sewage in the treatment process is utilized in the plant boiler for heating purposes. The m’oup made a last stop in Aurora to inspect their water treat- ment plant. portant, because steam pressures and temperatures are getting higher rc- quirsd much better insulation in order that radiation losses may be kept low.

Zorem l was surprised last week, in reading an account of Hitler’s Aus— trian coup, to find that Germany’s mighty military machine is more mythical than factual in nature. Mr. M. W. Fodor, a leading central Eu~ ropean correspondent, was the one who conveyed this impression to me. Germany’s great “self-sufficiency” has been given wide popularity by Hitler and his henchmen—«but just how good the synthetic products do- vclopcd arc, was nicely demonstrat- ed in the, recent 400~milc drive which the army made from the German» Austrian border to the city of Vien- nn. Although actual invasion of Austrial did not start until early in March, army columns had been. massed at the Austrian border line in preparation for such a step since January. The use of synthetic rub- ber and low grade lubricants almost spelled disaster to the German army on this trip—but :t‘ow knew about it than. “THE VIENNESE,” Mr. Forlor said, “wcrc properly impressed with Nazi might as they watched the col- umns 01‘ tanks and lorries rumble through their streets. But they did not know that all of the heavy tanks and many lorries had failed to get as for as Vienna. Their course was marked with a trail of flat tires and burned out bearings." So now the truth comes out! Hit— ler's grab of Austria was not only a tricky one but also one of greater bluff than was heretofore imagined. This should change the complcrion of a few things—one of which is the rc~ cent throat mode in Field Marshal Herman Goering’s mouth-piece, the National Zci‘tunvg. In part this ar- ticle stated, “The two powers of the axis (BerlimRome) cannot remain indifferent: if the French govern— ment, by allowing continued ship- ment of supplies and weapons to “red" Spain, engages in a policy dangerous for Europe and, by open support of the Soviet influence in Catalonia, opposes in a hardly con- ceivable manner the policy of Ger- many and Italy which will prevent at all cost the setting up of a cen- ter of Moscow in the Mcdctcr- ”My «1%!- ca 15" V 2540 Pfifids‘g fairway ., $35.}? 1%, Last week the or): news was on page twelve, as you know.

THE BELLIGERANT attitude of both Nazis and Fascists is charac- teristic of the method which they pursue in all matters in which for- eign policy is involved. It seems that with every passing day the two dic- tators are straining their diplomatic relations with France to a greater degree. The question now is: How long will France allow herself to bc bluffcd? Obviously Mussolini is de- termined to have Spain-«but France is just as determined—and right— fully so—that she shall not be sur- rounded by a heavily armed enemy. Allowing Spain to be taken by Italy would consequently be dangerous to France. England, too, has much to lose—yet she recently became a part- ner in the Anglo-Italian agreement which is serving to isolate France yet further.
