A number of posters advertis-ing the penny-a-pound dormi-tory dance were removed fromthe bulletin boards the day afterthey were posted. The dancecommittee deplores this fact, asthe posters are rather expen-sive, and some return in theform of advertising is expectedwhen a sum of money is laidout for posters. The committeehas stated that it has no objectionto anyone removing the posterson the day before or any timeafter the dance, but requestsChat they not be taken downtwo weeks before the date ofthe dance.

Apparatus Used In Cosmic RayExpedition To Alaska

Demonstrated

Experiments indicating that themysterious cosmic rays are electri-cally charged particles and that theycome from the lonely reaches of theuniverse at a speed of about 185,000miles a second, were described by Dr.Ralph D. Bennett of Technology inthe Society of Arts lecture at the In-stitute yesterday at 4 o'clock in Room10-250.

Dr. Bennett, a member of the facul-ty in electrical engineering, is one ofthe scientists who participated in therecent world-wide survey of cosmicradiation sponsored by the CarnegieInstitution of Washington and car-ried out under the direction of Dr.Arthur H. Compton of Chicago. Dr.Bennett's studies were made in theRocky Mountains of the Pacific coaststates and in Alaska. It was in thisregion that Allen Carpe lost his lifein a crevasse in an attempt last Mayto scale Mt. McKinley for measure-ments of cosmic radiation.

Radiation Is Charged ParticlesDescribing the work of Dr. Arthur

Compton and his- own observations,Dr. Bennett said that their experi-ments indicate that the strange form ofenergy called cosmic radiation is atleast partly composed of charged par-ticles and that its origin seems to be inthe remote regions of the universe.Other scientists have believed that cos-mic rays come from distant inter stel-lar space and that they are in the formof protons or immaterial waves likelight.

The fact that cosmic radiation -var-ies in intensity according to the earth'slatitude strengthens the belief that it

New Equipment Needed.1luch of the old machinery which

was put away in the first year or soof the depression will be useless whenit is next needed. The newer, faster,lighter, safer, and more efficient newmachinery will have rendered oldequipment obsolete. The replacementof old machinery with new, Mr. Kint-ner lectured, wvill alone go far tobring the return of prosperity.

Again wie llave the consideration ofnew industries which have not yetappeared. Just as electricity hasbeen raised from an experimental sub-ject, through the medium of street-lighting, factory power supplies, andtelephone service, up to its presentposition where it is generlaly- acceptedas a necessity, might not other indus-tries grown up undler electricity in thesame mianner as, say. the theatrebusiness has in the past. Ten yearsago verse Seerpeople dreamed of talk-ing mnovies; today silent films are re-gardled as a novelty.

At the beginning of the nineteenthcentury, M~r. Kintner observed, theeconomist Malthus warned the worldthat unless the birth rate wvere de-creased the population would not beable to produce enough food to sup-port itself. He did not have the

Westinghouse Official ExplainsRelations of Machines

To Employment

In a recent lecture, Mr. S. M. Kint-ner, Vice-President of the Westing-house Electric and ManufacturingCompany, explained the relation be-tween labor-saving devices and em-ployment. He pointed out that thissubject is deserving of some consider-ation in the face of present conditions.

Thie mnere fact that there are fewerpeople employed in many industriesper unit of product means little, saidlMr. Kintner. Many of the industrieswhich employ labor-saving devicesthat enable firms to produce the sameamount of goods with fewer men haverisen from nothing. As an exampzlle,lie gives the automobile industry. Fif-ty years ago, he pointed out, therewere no automuoiiles to speak of,where today millions are employed inmanufacturing, selling, and servicingautomobiles.

The changes in source of powerhave revolutionized industry. Out atHoover D~am, Mr. Kintner stated,there is a job greater than the con-struction of the Egyptian pyramids.With nothing but hand labor, the pro-ject could -not even be considered.

Mining, metallurgy, and refining ofgold and silver at Pachuca, Mexicowere discussed at some length byMichael A. Kuryla, '36, at the lastmeeting of the Mining Society, Thurs-day.

Mr. Kuryla, whose father operatesmines and cyaniding plants at Pa-chuca, is an authority on his subject.He traced the course of the ore fromthe mines to the production of thecrude metals. After describing thnerefining operations he ended with afew statistics on the plant. This plantis the largest in the world to usecyanide in the extraction of silverfrom ores.

Pictures on the new process of pro-ducing wrought iron, released by theByers Company, manufacturers ofwrought iron, were shown. Wroughtiron differs from mild steel in that itcontains, mixed evenly throughout, asmall percentage of silicious slag, thefilm explained. To the presence ofthis slag it owes its unique propertiesof resistance to corrosion and its fi-brous structure. Up to now allwrought iron has been made by alaborious process. The new processmakes possible the large scale pro-duction of this material.

ENGINEERS SCOREEASY VICTORY IN

FIRST ENCOUNTERO'Brien and Feustel Are High

Scorers As Team PilesUp Early Lead

SCORE AT HALF IS 29 - 5

By WELDON M. RAY

Technology's v a r s i t y basketballteam opened its 1932 - 33 season inthe usual successful fashion Saturdaynight by outclassing an inferior teamfrom the Newport Naval TrainingStation by the score of 50 -27, in agame which was featured by the playof Co-captain Fred Feustel and ObieO'Brien, star forwards for the Engi-neers. The Naval Academy players,finding the Beaver defense too strongin the first half, began to shoot fromfarther out after the intermission andran up a considerable score beforethe final whistle.

Coach McCarthy was liberal in hisuse of substitutes and every man onthe squad saw plenty of action. Oneof the features of the game was theplay of these substitutes; for whilethey scored only eleven points againstthe training-school group, they heldthe opponents to only two points. Thedefense of the varsity was nearlyflawless near the basket but againstlong shots it was not very adequate,for the losers made three-fourths oftheir points from outside the foul line.

Passing Needs ImprovementThe Beavers took almost no long

shots, most of their scores resultingfrom dribbles or passes under thebasket. The team as a whole showeda need of more teamwoark and coor-dination, for while the scoring washigh, much of it was due to individualplay and brilliant dribbling. Thepassing was evidently the cause forthis, because nearly all of the playersat some time or other fumbled a passat a point when a score seemed immi-nent. With a better developed brandof passing attack combined with astrong-er defense for long shots andthe type of individual play that theyshowed Saturday night, the Engi-neers should be able to present manydifficulties for the strongest teams ontheir schedule.

The high scorer for the evening wasO'Brien with a total of fifteen points,while Feustel was a close second

with fourteen. Feustel's long shotswere conspicuous by their absence, al-

though le turned in one backhandshot fronm the corner of the court thatwas a beauty. Obie was particularlygood at avoiding men to make hisbaskets, and several times interceptedpasses Cwhichl he converted into points.

Amenta, Shaughnessy Do WellPat Amenta and Tom Shaughnessy

continued their rivalry for the doubt-ful guardl position by scoring sixpoints each anl playingg for about thesame length of time. At the otherguard post, Co-captain Adam Syskoturned in a good defenisive ganie,breaking ulz a number of passes andmaking two nice shots from the cor-ner of the court.

Bolb MeIcver played a nice game at

center~, managing to get the jump~ onhis opponent for most of the timethat lie played. Joe Oldham, whoseankle showed such improvement thathe was able to play a considerableportion of the game, did well in placeof Feustel and managed to convertseveral follow-ups into scores.

Technology students will be givenan opportunity to play Santa Clausto the needy children of Boston nextSunday when "Tech Day" will be cele-brated at the Boston Post Santa Clausheadquarters at 100 Federal Street inBoston. Annually thousands of chil-dren are made happy by the work ofthe Post, which appeals to the Bostonpeople through its news columns forfunds and contributions and assem-bles large quantities of gifts and toysto be distributed to the less fortunatechildren on Christmas day.

This year it has become necessaryto ask aid from groups and other or-ganizations in wrapping and assem-bling the gifts. The men in chargeof the work have felt that collegestudents would be interested in suchwork and have set aside anong others,"Tech Day" to be held next Sundayat 3:00 o'clock.

All Institute students are invited tocomne down to the headquarters at thattime and help in the work that is be-ing done. A large delegation is ex-pected.

functioned very well, the Tigers beingheld scoreless in the final period.

The Orange sextet, composed large-ly of veteran players, took the leadmidway through the first period, whenGlazebrook, speedy center, took a passfrom Boice to score in 12:01. Fourminutes later, while Glazebrook wasserving a penalty, Captain JohnnyHrones knotted the count for theBeavers with a fine individual effort.The Tigers threatened to score sev-eral times before the period ended,but each time Milliken's goal-tendingmarred their attempts.

Princeton Scores Two MorePrinceton staged a determined at-

tack in the second period and suc-ceeded in scoring the two goals thatproved to be the margin of victory.Captain Art Lane got the first in 7:04on an individual rush, and Whitmancaged the other from a scrimmage infront of the Beaver net in 13:54. Forthe remainder of the contest the Engi-neer defense was impregnable, but allof their scoring attempts were suc-cessful.

The Engineers were somewhathandicapped by the shortage of menas compared to the Tigers, since onlyten players made the trip. The gamewas also marked by clean playing,only two penalties being called duringthe whole contest.

WHIEN GREEKS UNITECOME groups f ail to maintain a continued existence because,S although they have work to do, they become top heavy with

organization. Others fail because they have nothing to do. Abody with no functions is to all practical intents and purposes adying body. Into the last class the Interfraternity Conference.may partially be placed.

For some years now the activities of the Conference havebeen coinfined to running two or three dances a year and conduct-ing several athletic tournaments among the houses that care toparticipate. Meetings have been held at which absolutely nothingofc any interest or importance has been discussed. The functionsofe the I. F. C. are necessarily limited, and that nothing of interestcomes up for consideration is not a cause for complaint.

In view of this condition the move of the -Conference in sug-gesting that the number of meetings be decreased and that theheads of the various houses rather than other representatives at-tend seems wise. The few arrangements which must be made forthe conduct of the I. F. C. business can be made at the fewer meet-ings, responsible men will be representing the houses if any actionis to be taken, and the organization for a concerted move on thepart of the fraternities is available if it is -needed.

WHERtE ARE WE GOING ?tN recent years wve have become so accustomed to hearing that

the engineer and the scientist are to be the next savior's ofcivilization, that it may be surprising to some of us that the prop-osition is not being enthusiastically accepted by the outside world.The fact that it is not, and that the picture painted by StuartChase and kindred prophets seems occasionally a bit too good tobe true, should give us pause. For there are some who say thatthe picture is neither good nor true. Are wie really on the righttrack ?

Elsewrhere in today's issue wve quote a recent editorial com-menat of the News York Thines which should be of nzore than pass-ing interest to Technology. We have heard many- times aboutthe engineering minld and the story of its marvelous capabilities.We hcave been told that wve alre being tr airted to be rigorousthinkers, and that the fruition of the scientific mind wvill see thedawsn of a new era in which the social and economic system of oulrtime whill be swept awfay as so mulch rubbish.

It is certainly p~ertillent to ask, as does tile Thie1;-' C01L,,1lliSt,

wdher e all this is leading us. The charge that scientists, as a whole.are' working w ithoult purpose -and f uthermornoe, that they- areirresistible of formulating a purpose - is a ser iotls one. The factis, that the "enlgineering mind'' has become something of a tradi-tion with u~s, and a tradition wsith perhaps eaten less f oundationthan those wNe deczr.

Having thus a sort of tie-in withthe place, it is hardly to be wonderedat that he should send advance no-tices of the homecoming prodigal. Itis also hardly to be wondered at thathis aunt should be only too glad toreassure him that the fatted calf had

.been led forth to slaughter, the latch-string dangled without, and prepara-tions for the great day completed.

As a matter of fact, she went even.-farther than this. There was alsoextended to George and such of hisfriends on the hockey team who caredto take advantage of the offer, a kindinvitation to use the family pew onSunday. We have a mental pictureof Ranny Thomson and little Millikenstepping from arena to church pew,meanwhile exchanging the old fight-ing frown for sanctimonious saintli-ness, the while brother Bull lays asidehis managerial worries to lead theteam in prayer.

We note with sympathy the lettersent us by Mr. Streng, General Man-ager of the Combined -M-usical Clubsand in reply to same wish to saythat, -THE TECH will undoubtedlypersonally chastise every fraternitythat holds a dance within the timeset for the next Christmas Concert,and we wvill even let the -next generalmanager come and figurativelyr weepon our editorial shoulder, the whilehe rails at a stony and non-co-operat-ing world.

In spite of the fact that Mr. StrengIthought that nobody loved the MusicalClubs and they were all going out inthe garden and eat wo-o-o-(snf)-o-rms,we note that the Concert was a finan-cial and social success. Well, that'sAfrica for ye, m'lad.

How to keep silt and sand from clogging tele-phone cable ducts was one problem put up toengineers at Bell Telephone Laboratories. Noknown method of joining sections of vitrified clay

conduit effected a seepage-tight joint.

With scientific thoroughness, telephone menmade many tests under service conditions. Theydevised a bandage of cheese-cloth, waterproofpaper and mortar. Easily made and applied, thismortar bandage is tight against silt and sand. Itprevents clogging, greatly simplifies the installationof new telephone cables and the removal of old ones.

Through solving such interesting problems,Bell System men work steadily nearer to their goat-telephone service or' highest possible efficiency.

Pre-cisely because his mind is set on turn-ing out the best job of which he iscapable he is not concerned with theuse to which his work will be put.The Soviet Government may use hishydroelectric power to build a Social-ist regime, exterminate the individualhome, and suppress God.

SEVEN CHAMPIONSCROWNED IN ALLTE(CH TOURNAMsENT

Putnam Triumphs In Two HeavyClasses; Boyan Wins

In 155-Pound

RICKS FINDS MATERIAL

By JOHN I. HAMILTON

Seven men out of a total of forty-three entries emerged the victors inthe annual All-Tech wrestling tourna-ment, which was brought to a success-ful conclusion last Friday afternoon.Although there were eight weightclasses, Otto A. Putnam, '33, was vic-torious in both the 175 pound andheavy-weight classes, thus limitingthe number to only seven champions.The tournament itself aroused quitea bit of interest in the student body,and there was quite a large crowd onhand to witness the last day'smatches, wbhen Dr. John A. Rockwell,'96, was present to congratulate theIwinners and present them with theirgold medals.

N. E. Frosh Champions WinIn the 118-pound class, A. D. Marder-

osian, '35, last year's champion in the9 resbman New England Intercollegi-ate matches, gained a fall over Georgein 4:16. George, who is a freshman,put up a game fight, but was unableto cope with the experience of his op-ponent. J. E. Perry, '34, gained afall after Bt. S. Malin, '34, whom hewas wrestling had run up a largetime advantage, thus becoming thisyear's 126-pound champion. H. M.Oshry, '35, and J. Lougbman,' '33,fought it out on fairly even terms un-til Oshry succeeded in getting a Half-Nelson and crotch hold. thereby pin-ning his opponent in 6:27. Oshrywas also a New England Intercol-legiate freshman champion,. wrestlingin the 135-pound class. In the 145-pound class, there were nine men en-tered, with J. P. Eder, '34, and F. V.Judd, '34, working their way to thefinals. They were having a lively boutuntil Eder twisted his arm, forcinghim to default the match to Judd.

Freshman Wins 15a-Pound TitleTwo freshmen. E. A. Boyan, and

H. Christensen, fought in the finalsof the 155-pound class. This matchwas so even that it was necessary to,have two overtime periods, with Boy-an finally emerging victorious, with atime advantage of 2:31. E. O. Ha-kala, '35, one of the members of lastyear's freshman team, gained a fallin 4: 33, over I. R. Kusinitz, '34, inthe 165-pound class. Putnam won the175-pound class by)5 default, as S. A.Prince, '34, who was to be his oppon-ent, was injured the day before. Put-nam also won the heavyweight class,but did not have such an easy taskhere, as he had to wrestle Jesse Schu-miaeher, 250-pound Sophomore. Aftera great deal of straining and groan-ing, Putnam got a Half-Nelson, andslowly pinned his opponent, who putup a great fight.

Coach Jay Ricks was very pleasedwsith the results of the tournament, asit uncovered some fine Inaterieal forb~othl the freshmen and varsity teams.He is hoping that Putnam, who hasdeveloped into a fine wrestler, willlmake the 175-pound class, therebyriving the Varsity another very valu-able man in this division.

MANY DORM MENPRESENT AT TEAK

First Informal Affair In BurtonRoom Declared Big Success

By Dorm Residents

Dormitory men enjoyed friendlychats over the teacups yesterday af-ternoon, at the first informal tea ofthe season given in the Burton Loungefrom 4 to 6 o'clock. Many professorsand their wives were present at theaffair, helping in the greeting andentertainment of the guests.

The teas are an innovation thisyear. They are held, according tothe Dorin R(..)toir, as a means of"bringing the faculty and the dor-mitories closer together." In manyquarters, however, the teas were seenas a means of increasing the socialopportunities of the men living in thedormitories, and both faculty guestsand dormitory men agreed lastevening that this first tea was highlysuccessful.

Shortly after 4 o'clock the dormi-tory men and their guests began fil-tering in. A bright fire burned inthe fireplace, adding to the hospitableatmosphere of the occasion. Smallgroups formed here and there in in-teresting conversation. Tea, sand-wiches and cake were served. In ad-dition to the faculty members andtheir wives, members of Agenda andDorclan, the honorary organizationsof the dormitories were present tomake introductiins and aid in promot-in- the atmosphere of the occasion.

Among the guests present wereMirs. Karl T. Compton, Professorand Mfrs. James R. Jack, Bursar andMrs. Horace S. Ford, Dean Haroid E.Lobdell and his mothler, Mrs. KathrynM1. WViswall, Professor and Mrs.Leicester F. Hamilton, Professor Har-ry M. Goodwin, Dean and Mrs. Vanne-var Bush, and Professor and ,Mrs.William T. Drisko.

The committee in charge of the teawas headed by Stephan H. Rhodes,

EVARSITY SWIMMERSLSE TO BOWDOIN

In the first meet of the season lastSaturday afternoon, the varsity swim-{ming team was decisively defeated bya strong Bowdoin combination by a1 score of forty-eight to twenty-nine.However, despite the fact that thescore was rather one-sided, each racew-2s closely connected and Technology-ained places in all the individualevents. The Bowdoin team succeededin winning both the 200-yard relay and'he 300-yard medley relay.

Captain Lou Flancers was the onlyInstitute swimmer to win a first place,capturing the 200-yard breaststrokein two minutes and fifty-one seconds.Muller, another Engineer, finished sec-ond to give Technology a total ofeight points for this event. Jack Du-Ross and Jim G-ranberg finished sec-ond and third respectively in the fifty-yard dash, and George Henningcopped a second in the 220-yard swimto give Technology another sevenpoints.

Science In the SaddleSchenectady gave a Thanksgiving

Eve party for the three most eminentof her distinguished collection of sci-entists in the laboratories of the Gen-eral Electric Company. They wvereWhitney, the retiring director of re-search; his successor, Coolidge, of theX-ray tube, and Langmuir, to whomhas just been awarded the 1932 NobelPrize in chemistry. President Dayof Union College paid tribute to thethree men and said, among otherthings:

"Nothing in the world is so impor-tant as a man of distinguished mind.He is at once an insignificant part ofthe animal kingdom and a God-likeobserver and creator in the universe."

It will be noted that Dr. Day callsthe scientist an observer and creator.He does not call him a statesman andruler. That is as it should be. Scien-tists in absolute control of the worldwould be a sad and terrible thing.

Genius and Team-WorkSinclair Lewis is not fond of the

high-powered and well-dressed Ameri-can executive. But Mr. Lewis risesabove his prejudices in "Arrowsmith"when he tells us what happened witha change of administration in the fa-mous McGurk Institute. As long asthe head of the great research insti-tution was the smooth and intelligentpolitician, A. De Witt Tubbs, the workof the institute's great scholars wentforward in a spirit of fruitful co-op-eration. W'rhen the manager, Tubbs,is succeeded by the scientific genius,Gottlieb, the temple of research be-conles a beer garden.

Science and I'urposeMAuch is being said and written to-

day about the need of taking the gov-ernment of the -,world out of the handsof lpoliticianls and handing it over toscientists, engineers. experts. Thepresent sad state of the wriorld is at-tributed to the lack of purpose withwhich it has been governed. It hasbeen ruled (1) by selfish men, avid ofpower and of profit, but with no high|social purpose in mind; (2) by stupid,ignorant, rule-of thumb men with novision to -uide them. If we want pur-pose, precise knowledge, exact meth-ods, we Crust go to the men whosetrade is with such things - the sci-entist, the expert, the enpineer.

There is just one iallacy in thisstatement of the case. It confoundspurpose with special knowledge. Thetwo things do not necessarily go to-gether. It is a mistake to supposethat Technocracy, government by sci-entists and engineers, will give uspurpose. For it is the essence of the

|scientist's and the engineer's trades| that they work without purpose.

TEAM WINS BY 50 - 27

(Continued from page one)

Leach Stars For SailorsFor the Naval Academy the high

scorer was Leach, the center, whomade several fine shots in the lasthalf. Condry at left forward was theonly player who seemed to be ableto score on the Engineers in the firsthalf, and twice he circled the -guardsto make goals. In the second half,however, Captain Anderson, Brown,Frere, and Dandino began to followLeach's example and to make basketsfrom outside the foul line. Againstthis style of play the Technology teamwas helpless, especially when thevisitors were such excellent shots.

Coach McCarthy's starting line-upof Feustel, O'Brien, McIver, Sysko,and Shaughnessy got off to an earlylead which was never reversed, whenafter about a minute of playingO'Brien, on a brilliant bit of individ-ual play, got by the Newport guardslor the first score of tone evening.Feustel soon followed with an almostidentical play. After Obie had capi-talized on a free throw, Tom Shaughn-essy took the ball in on a nice tip-offfrom McIver for the third field goal.Obie made another shot under thebasket, and then Fred Feustel fol-lowed with a beautiful overhand shotfrom the corner of the court.

After a considerable lull in whichneither team scored, the Engineersagain began to run up the score withO'Brien and Feustel getting most ofthe goals. In the second period CoachMcCarthy began to send in his substi-tutes freely, but the training-schoolsquad was still unable to do much.The score at the half was 29-5 inthe Engineers' favor. -Engineers Outscored In Second Half

The Newport coach must have givenhis team a few pointers during theintermission, for they immediatelybegan to take long shots with greatsuccess, matching the Beavers' effortspoint for point. In the final quarterthe scoring was less, and both teamswere substituting freely. When thefinal whistle blew, the Engineers hadamassed fifty points to their oppon-ents' twenty-seven. In the last half,however, Newport succeeded in out-scoring the visitors, making twenty-two points to the twenty-one of the

DR. BENNETT GIVESTALK ON COSMIC RAY

(Contintued from page one)is composed of charged particles, andthat variations in strength are due todeflection by the earth's magneticfield.

This explanation of cosmic radia-tion is further strengthened by thetheory recently set forth by Dr. Man-uel E. Vallarta of Technology, who,in collaboration with the Abbe G. leMaitre of the University of Louvainand a former student at Technology,made computations which indicatethat cosmic radiation is electrical inits nature. Calculations by these sci-entists to determine theoretically theinfluence of the earth's magnetic fieldon the rays closely checks actualmeasurements.

Rays Come From AboveThe existence of cosmic radiation

and proof that the rays fall fromabove was demonstrated by means ofinstruments designed by Dr. Bennettfor measuring cosmic radiation. Themost spectacular experiment was awierd wailing sound produced by tre-mendous amplification when one ofthe instruments registered the arrivalof a particle of cosmic-energy.

Dr. Bennett traced the history ofthis mysterious radiation which rainsupon the earth continuously in theform of darts of energy that pene-trate everything. Not even the 110steel and concrete floors of the EmpireState Building are an insuperable ob-stacle to cosmic energy, he said, andadded that cosmic radiation probablywould have to be millions of timesmore intense to have any biologic ef-fect on man. In their Swift journeythrough the atmosphere each of theseminute projectiles of energy leaves inits path the shattered fragments ofcountless atoms. The rays come at afrequency indicating that about 30 ofthese particles of energy fall uponeach of us every second.

The earliest indications of the ef-fects of this strange radiant energy,Dr. Bennett explained, were observedin its ability to make the atmosphereor other gasses slightly electricallyconducting. Not until some 40 yearsago, however, were scientists able todevise instruments sufficiently sensi-tive to measure the rays, nor hadknowledge advanced to a stage cap-able of interpreting the observations.

Ionization Chamber ShownAfter describing the basis for de-

tection and measurement of cosmicradiation, Dr. Bennett exhibited someof the modern instruments for meas-uring the intensity of the radiation.Among these was one designed byhim and used last summer in his ex-pedition. It was not unlike a globeof the world resting on a three-leggedstand. The globe, however, was madeof more than 200 pounds of lead builtup in hemispherical layers. In thecenter was a sealed spherical cham-ber containing argon gas, which isionized by the radiation and thusplays the primary role in the processof detection and measurement. Otherinstruments included Geiger-Mfillercounters and the Wilson cloud chaim-ber.

The Geiger-Mlffler counter is essen-tially a gas-filled tube containing afine wire stretched down the centreof a metal cylinder, with a potentialdifference of about 1000 volts betweenthe cylinder and the wire.

described by saying that the voltagebetween electrodes in the tube is so

MACHINE AGE IS NOTCAUSE OF DEPRESSION

(Cowtiniced from page one)chance to see the conditions of modernlabor-saving machines which wouldrender his thought useless.

The tendency of the age towardshorter working time will undoubtedlycontinue, according to Mr. Kintner.Within the age of the older generation,working time has changed from sun-up to sun-down, to a twelve-hour day,then a ten-hour, and now an eight-hour day. There is agitation at pres-ent for a six-hour day, and this is notout of the question at all.

There is no one at present, saidMr. Kintner, who would wish to re-trace our steps and throw away ourmachines in order to increase employ-ment. What we need is no such re-trocession into past methods, butrather a new plan of operation, whichof course needs an incentive to con-tinue the improvement, that will givedue consideration to our new order ofthings and permit us to enjoy thefreedom from drudgery toward whichwe have so long been striving.

high that the tube is always just on t~hepoint of breakdown. In simple, it isalmost unstable, and the slightest dis-turbance, such as the entrance of apenetrating ray, "triggers off" thisbreakdown and allows a current toflow for an instant. It was with thisinstrument that the arrival of a par-ticle of cosmic radiation was demon-strated.

The Wilson cloud chamber is an in-genious instrument devised in 1912 bythe distinguished English physicist, C.R. Wilson. It is a chamber filled withmoisture-laden, dust-free air. Byionizing the air and producing min-ute droplets of water on the ionizedmolecules, he was able to photographthe paths of electrically charged par-ticles by means of light reflected bythe water drops.

Discussing the possible significanceof cosmic radiation, Dr. Bennett madeclear that science knows very littleyet about the time, the place and na-ture of the origin of this form ofenergy. It may well have started 10billion years ago, he explained, and ifso, some 90 per cent ofe the radiationwould still be wandering about unab-sorbed. There is no known terrestial,and -no demonstrated celestial processwhich accounts for the radiation.

FEW CANDIDATES FORBEAVER BOXING TEAM

Coach Rawson of the Technologyboxing squad has been worried latelyabout the failure of enough men tocome out for varsity and freshmanboxing to make full teams. In thepast the Institute has always beenw~ell represented in this sport, and itwould be sad indeed if the team wereto be forced to meet other teams with-out men in several of the classes.

The varsity weights wshich still needmore men are the 155-, 165-, and 175-poulnd classes. In at least two of thesethe team wvill not be represented un-less candidates come out for theln. Allmen interested in boxing are urged to.eo out for the sport, which is well-known for its body-building capabili-ties. Experience is not necessary, forTLommy Raw~son is an expert coachand has been known to develop evengreen material into good boxers. Menshould come out immediately in orderto have time to get into shape for thecoming season.
