Going into the final inning with a two-run lead, the E Fielders suddenly collapsed, and coupled with some wildness on the part of the pitchers let in the tying runs. The bases were still loaded with none down when Red Schaper came in from his first base post to snuff the rally out by whiffing the last three batters. This is the second game between the two team that has ended in a tie. Another game will, however, be played to determine the winner.

Telling the story of a Parisian girl’s love and sacrifice for an RAF ^lier trapped in enemy territory, the picture stars Michele Morgan in the title role and Paul Henreid as the squadron-leader. Seen above are Miss Morgan, Laird Cregar, leader of the Gestapo, and his men on the hunt.

C. A.s is an international organization with headquarters in Geneva, Swit zerland. Its activities on behalf of prisoners of war are carried on through neutral “Y” representa tives in belligerent nations. This work on behalf of the recreational, spiritual and educational activities of war captives complements that of the International Red Cross, which looks after the physical re quirements — such as food and clothing—of the prisoners of war This work is done in accordance with the Geneva convention of 1929, a pact signed by all nations now at war except Russia and Japan. The latter nation subsequently Angelo for a series while the Ca- j agreed to abide by terms of the convention, and it is in accordance with this agreement that work has been instituted among the Ameri cans and other United Nations forces held by the Japanese. Electronic Gages Measure Terrific Pressure on Wings If you have ever seen a fighter streak across the sky, diving, twist ing, and turning with the seeming speed of lightning, you may have wondered how it is possible to build planes that can withstand such terrific strains as those in power dives at speeds greater than 500 miles an hour. Did you ever put your hand out the window of a car going 50 miles an hour? Well, at 500 miles an hour, the wind pressure will not ten times but a hundred times as great, which means that those gleaming American “wings of vic tory” must have tremendous strength. And the U. S. Army Air Forces must be dead sure they have that strength. • “Electronic tubes and strain gages give that assurance,” accord ing to Frazier Hunt, General Elec tric newscaster. “By attaching strain gages to the proper parts of a wing, and by putting record ing instruments in the plane, a few little electronic tubes will write a complete record of the strains dur ing a test flight,” he explains. “From these records, the designer knows whether he can reduce weight and thus give more speed to our bombers and fighters. But most important, he knows that American boys can fly American planes with greater safety. And he knows that the science of elec tronics can provide him with the facts to build planes that really can take it.” Stresses in the plane structure are detected by the strain gages, which are mounted on various parts of the plane. These stresses are converted into tiny electrical impulses which are amplified suf ficiently by electronic tubes to drive highly sensitive oscillograph galvanometers. By deflecting light beams of an optical system, the galvanometers record the strain gage impulses on a photographic film. Having calibrated this equip ment before flight tests, the trace on the film can be converted to either pounds per square inch of load on the plane structure, or by thousandths of an inch deflection. Metalurgists Are Wanted Now In War Program In the mobilization of manpower for the civilian war service of the Government there is a continuing call for scientifically and techni cally trained men and women. Among those urgently needed are Metallurgists for work in connec tion with specific problems in the field of metallurgy—problems con nected with some phase of the war program. The Civil Service Commission is recruiting Metallurgists under two new examinations recently announ ced: Announcement No. 238 for positions paying $2,600 to $5,600 and Announcement No. 254 for junior grade positions paying $2, 000. The requirements of the exam inations have been modified and college teaching in metallurgy is now accepted as professional ex perience. For the higher grade positions ($2,600 to $5,600) the requirements now are: completion of a four- year course with major study in metallurgy or closely allied sub jects and a minimum of two years of professional experience (which may include college teaching) in metallurgy. Additional experience will be required for the higher grades. For the junior grade positions ($2,000), the requirements are: (1) Open of Class A Swimming Playoff s To Be Held MondayNight The playoffs to determine the winner of the Class A Swimming championship will begin next week when D Field Artillery tangles with H Coast Artillery on Monday, August 31.

Applications will be accepted from college senior or gradute students who expect to complete the requir ed courses within 6 months after filing applications. Applications will be accepted un til the needs of the service have been met. There are no age limits for thse examinations. No writ ten test is required. Announcements and application forms may be obtained at any first—or second-class post office or from the Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C.

Two planes are now acquired, one at a cost of $20,00 as part of the athletic equipment. They cov ered the country, seeking football beef on the hoof and bringing it back alive. When school closed for the year, the plane might take a boy home. Nothing was too good for a good L.S.U. letterman. L.S.U. students went on a trip to Europe, at a cost of thousands of dollars. They made band tours about the country. Everything was in high manner, higher with each year that passed. It was revealed that more than 50 per cent of all L.S.U. students were on some kind of payroll—an alltime record for an American col lege. -SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 29, 1942 Agronomy Professor Attends AAA Meeting Professor J.
