Architect Sophs Complete Building Of Scaled “Help Yourself” Laundry Completion of a unique project in prefabricated demountable build ing construction has been accomp lished by the sophomore Architec ture class at A. & M. The project was a “help yourself” laundry unit for use in connection with prefab ricated housing projects such as are now being erected at Orange and other cities in Texas. “Help yourself” laundries are a rather new advance and are be ing seen in ever increasing num bers. In such a laundry housewives may take their clothes to the es tablishment and rent washing ma chines, doing the work themselves. Facilities are complete down to ironing boards, and the whole laundering operation may be per formed at the laundry. In this way housewives who do not own wash ing machines or other means are enabled to do their washing with out paying the cost of commercial laundering. Work on this unit has been in progress since the start of the present semester. The class was organized into the departments of design, engineering and construc tion, and approached the problem from the viewpoint of a commer cial architecture firm. Execution of the project was done by the class with no professorial help, but was carried out under the supervising eyes of the professor of sophomore architecture, who acted in an advisory capacity. —KYLE FIELD— (Continued from Page 3) the ’28 Olympics held at Amster dam, Holland . . .

In this type all walls, ceilings and par titions are built in sections, and thus may be put up much quicker than the regular type of construc tion. Another advantage of this kind of building is that it may be knocked down and transported to another location for erection there. Another feature of the laundry project is the use of actual scale materials throughout. Construc tion was made to % scale, and every part of the unit conforms to the scale. The materials are alsO( of the exact type which would be used in building a full-sized laun dry. As a result the project is as near like the real thing as it can be made. —DISTRACTIONS- (Contmu«d from Pag* I) the trenches. Billy Conn, the gentleman so handy with the .boxing gloves is the outstanding name in the story by Octavus Roy Cohen, “THE PITTSBURGH KID.” It is the other half of the double feature attraction at the Campus today and tomorrow. This is the story of a fighter who is torn between two loves, one a glamour girl, and the other, the daughter of his late manager. Eventually he makes the right choice. Conn is acceptable in his first attempt on the screen, and the supporting cast is able to carry the story to a fairly successful conclusion.

Aggies and Sailors ASK ABOUT OUR SPECIAL SCALP TREATMENT Y.M.C.A. and Varsity Barber Shop Typhus fever is fast developing into a serious health menace in Texas, according to Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State health officer, who is sued an appeal for every Texan to cooperate in the prevention of this dread disease. “Last year, the greatest num ber of cases in the history of the state were reported, when there was a total of 733 cases of typhus fever in Texas. While there were only 46 cases of typhus fever re ported during the first twelve weeks of last year, during the same period of this present year, there have been 131 cases,” Dr. Cox stated. “With the peak of this di sease occurring in August, if the present trend is continued, we may expect serious conditions result ing from typhus by the end of summer.” The type of typhus fever occur ring in Texas is known as endemic or Brill’s disease, and is trans mitted to human beings from in fected rats, by means of the rat flea. The eradication of rats great ly reduces this health hazard, and a consistent program of rat pois oning, rat trapping, and rat proof ing will materially aid in the con trol of typhus in Texas. Dr. Cox stressed the fact that it is the patriotic duty of every Tex an to cooperate in maintaining the highest possible health level, and the eradication of rats will pro mote the control of typhus among our civilian population as well as our armed forces.
