I know there are any num ber of arguments about drinking, but since it is ruled out by so many of us, evidently it is not a major A. and M. practice.

SENIOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERS OBTAIN POSITION. (Continued from Page 5) are very active and are requiring such a large number of trained men. The Chemical Engineering course offered at A. and M. is one of the best in the country, and the graduates are given a wide preference. The following Chemical Engineering seniors have accepted positions and it seems logical that they will turn out to be the best of the younger en gineers in their field: Caldwell, B. M., American Refining Company, Wichita Falls, Texas. Coleman, S. A., Jr., Three Rivers Glass Company, Three Rivers, Texas. Froehlich, E., Taft Oil & Gin Com pany, Taft, Texas. Gibson, J. G., Anderson, Clayton & Company, Abilene, Texas. Hays, C. D., Comar Petroleum Com pany, Marlin, Oklahoma. Knox, F. A., United States Gypsum Company, Sweetwater, Texas. Olivey, T. A., Anderson, Clayton & Company, Abilene, Texas. Puryear, O. P., The Texas Company, Port Arthur, Texas. Ross, R. S., Empire Refineries, Gainesville, Texas. Townsend, F. H., Lone Star Gas & Oil Association. Witherspoon, J. A., Empire Refin eries, Gainesville, Texas. You will find this mono gram on all kinds of electric equipment. It is a symbol of quality and a mark of service. More than 60 per cent of the mechanical power used by American industry is applied through electric motors. But the electrifi cation of the tasks performed by man power has hardly begun. Electric power not only saves dollars; it conserves human energy fcr better purposes and raises standards of living. College men and women may well consider how electricity can lessen the bur dens of industry and of farm and home life. 201'66DH GENERAL- ELECTRIC GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK
