Dust Elimination Leads Way to More Modern Wood Plastics Seattle, Wash. (AGP)—A Uni versity of Washington professor's dust-elimination invention literal ly has snatched a valuable wood by-product out of thin air. Professor Frederick K. Kirsten, school of aeronautical enginering, has disclosed how his application of the principle of centrifugal force to dust-laden air has resulted in a process by which fine wood dust— “wood flour”—can be reclaimed for use in plastics. The machine takes dust out of the air by setting it in whirling- motion at terrific speed. The dust is thrown out by centrifugal force while the clean air is taken off at the center. He said wood flour sells for about $35 a ton. Smaller units soon will be in production, he said, for use as dust filters on automobile carbu retors. —CHANGE— (Continued from Page 1) on obedience to law and regula tions and the exercise of command through proper channels. Author ity is accompanied by definite res ponsibility for its proper exercise.

LOUPOT’S The Watchdog Of The Aggies By Murry Evans Pity the poor fellow with the “tin” ear—don’t abuse him. “There are those who simply cannot car ry a tune in a Ducket, who have no sense of pitch or melody what ever. Much like those who are color-blind, they see no visible difference in tone shades. And to the amazement of others this type is usually willing and ready to burst into song with choirs and groups, and still be totally unaware that his is out of harmony with the others and is spoiling the ef forts of all concerned. But there are also “tin-eared” musicians, men who can play every written note before them perfect ly, but purely in a mechanical manner. They find it impossible to improvise, (jam,” to you) to know when they are in or out of chord, or to recognize good or bad harmony. Such a musician usual ly finds it difficult to tune his instrument before playing, and us ually depends on a “better ear” in the band to decide when his hox*n is “right.” Peculiarly enough, such men usually have a well-de veloped sense of rhythm. • • • Harry James’ band, after its highly successful recording of “You Made Me Love You,” has just waxed another old favorite which bids fair to be just as popu lar, “Meloncholy Baby,” James car ries 18 men and a vocalist on his payroll, which accounts for the fullness and deep background al ways noticeable on his records and broadcasts. On “Meloncholy Baby” Harry gives out with another able solo pexTormance, backed by a clean-cut, restful string ensemble and a fine trombone section. • • • Eddie Duchin, while playing at the Waldorf-Astoria, overheard a patron complain of a headache, eo Eddie obligingly offered him some advice to relieve it. The fellow, obviously skeptical, looked up the house doctor and was amazed when he gave the same pre scription, verbatim, that Eddie had given him. What the man with the headache didn’t know was that Duchin studied at the Massa chusetts College of Pharmacy and still prides himself on being able to fill prescriptions. Dr. James A. Ross, Professor of economics at Syracuse university, has been granted a year’s leave of absence to serve in the office of price administration in Washing ton. LOUPOT’S An Aggie Tradition many, the storm troopers took over the city government in order to establish the “new order.” Pastor Hall was unable to comprehend the aims of the government. Fin ally matters became so acute that he was placed in a concentration camp. The story of his fight against Nazism is told in the pic ture at Guion Hall Saturday eve ning at 6:45 and 8:30. Wilfrid Law- son is Pastor Hall and Nava Pil- beam is his daughter, Christine. Asbury college operates a mat and tread industry in which 25 students are employed. Armed Forces Need Birth Certificates The importance of birth certifi cates for all men of military age was stressed by Captain W. H. Culberson of the Flying Cadet Procurement team here at A. & M. Captain Culberson stated that men would need birth certificates as they enlisted or were called for service in any branch of the arm ed forces and that it was impera tive that every man have one close at hand.
