■HMnH 2 THE BATTALION Lantern Slide Lecture Soon Mr. E. B. Fine will appear in Col lege on Saturday April 5th to deliv er an illustrated lantern slide lecture on the Rockies and the National Park. Mr. Fine has been on the cam pus before, and those who attended his exhibition in 1920 enjoyed an intei'esting and educational program. Starting out with scenic photography as a hobby Mr. Fine has developed himself into a master of icolored pho tography. He makes a tour every few years under the auspices of the Colo rado Chamber of Commerce. He has retired from business, and carries or. this work. Everyone interested is invited to attend. The program will start Saturday, April 5th, at 8 p. m. ADAM AND EVE AND THE APPLE. How many apples did Adam and Eve eat? Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2—a total of 10 only. Now we figure the thing out differently. Eve 8 and Adams ate also—total of 16. And yet the above figures are entirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82, certainly the total would be 90. Scientific men, however, reason something like this: Eve 81 and Adam 82; a total of 163. Wrong again. What could be clear er than, if Eve 81 and Adam 812, the total would be 893. •k . k k % k ★ ★ it Consult your local steamship agent or * ★ ★ Go Grade A tourist third cabin . . .

Their “mystery exploration” aban doned until next December, with their work only half completed, Command er E. F. McDonald, Jr., arctic explor er, returned to Havana, Cuba, re cently with his party of archeologists with whom he left Miami January 4, on a mission given out as “secret.” The iarcheologists intimated thjat their work so far has been very suc cessful, but they refused to comment further upon it. The group arriving here was com posed of Commander McDonald, Dr. George Fox, president of the Michi gan Archeological Society; Dr. F. W. Fritzgerald, Chicago archeologist; John Lock, Charles Hanna and TJ- J- Hermann, president of the Chicago Library Board, and Dr. Baker Brow nell, professor ,of archeology at,' Northwestern University. There is some speculation as to whether the group is attenpting to discover facts which would lead to the ascertainment of the existence or non existence of the anciently mythi cal continent of “Atlantica.” HEINE INVENTS TYPE OF GLASSES German Oculist Claims he is able to Produce Eye-Fitting Disk. Something new in glasses has been invented by a German oculust here, one Professor Heine, who claims that he now has glass disks which fit un der the eyes and take the place of spectacles. The glass is very thin, ground to the measurement of the eye and then fitted under the lid. The inventor alleges that on can sleep with perfect comfort with the glasses in place, and that they will not steam up when coming into a warm place from the cold of the outer air. The professor believes that women, whose good looks are spoiled when they don regulation spectacles, will be glad to go over to the new idea, a pair of which will cost in the neigh borhood of twenty-five dollars. 'Breakoff given by C. W. Crawford but is to be confidential). Professor D. W. Williams seems to have lost out in the contest with Major Sloan concerning the partak ing of meals at the Mess Hall for the various banquets. At present the Major has one on the head of the Animal Husbandry Department. The Pennsylvania Railroad has been fined 81,400 for failing to in spect and properly fumigate car loads of dirt moved from Edison’s old town in New Jersey to Henry Ford’s newly constructed town in Michigan. The dirt was moved so that Edison’s shack, in which he invented the elec tric light, and which was brought to Dearborn, might sit on native soil. :J: * More than six million words have been recorded in the Congressional Records so far concerning the tariff, —words spoken in debate on the sub ject in the Senate. LIVESTOCK ENTRIES (Continued from Page 1) Angus steers exhibited by the Col lege included first prize senior calf, second prize junior yearling-, and first prize group of three steers.

In a specially devised air-tight cylinder, under constant temperature of 1600° F., at fixed stress, it is being given the xooo hour “flow” test. At the same temperature, at various stresses, it will be given the same test for the same time-period. The tests are being made at the request of an oil man who has asked for valves for an exper imental still, to operate at 1500° and 2500 pounds. Can he have them? At the end of the exhaustive tests, Metallurgist L. W. Spring will be able to tell him, exactly, authoritatively. Since the first Crane chemical and testing laboratory was founded in 1888, thousands of similar questions so vital to safe and eco nomical industrial progress, have been asked and answered. The contribution made by Crane metallurgists to scientific knowledge of the reaction of metals under high pressures and temperatures is known and respected throughout the world, is familiar to every oil man who has used the cracking process and every engineer who has to do with piping. The truths discovered and scientific data col lected are embodied in a book, Pioneering in Science. This is a reference manual invaluable to engineering students.
