Q.: “Would it be improper to take fruits and other foods into the airplane to eat during the trip?” Ans. It would not be improper but it would not be necessary. Air line etiquette states that airlines serve their passengers food with out any cost; however, you do not have a wide selection of foods due to the restricted cargo space in the plane.

The stewardess does not serve liquor and you are requested not to drink before boarding the plane. No member of the ship's crew, including the stewardess, should be offered a tip even though the service she renders is more help ful than that of the pullman port er. She, however, is a well-educated well-paid young lady, and in no re spect in the servitor’s class. Ordinary rules of courtesy and politenss prevail on a plane but gum chewing and yawning are en couraged. They tend to relieve the pressure in the ears due to varia tions in atmospheric pressure. —DIRECTORS— Registrar H. L. Heaton. Decision to cite members of the Board of Directors was made after a hearing Saturday before Judge Charles O. Betts. Date for the next hearing has. not yet been set. FRED C. ELLIOTT JOINS EXTENSION SERVICE Assignment of Fred C. Elliott, effective February 11, as cotton work specialist on the headquar ters staff of the A. and M. College Extension Service was announced today by Director Ide P. Trotter. He comes to his new post from three and one half years as Gon zales County agricultural agent, and succeeds L. E. Ellwood who re signed on November 20 last to be come business manager of the Tex as Planting Cottonseed Association with headquarters at Bryan. Who says Texas shouldn’t brag; Gen. Eisenhower, heads the Army, Admiral Nimitz, the Navy. Both native Texans. 1 Hu Pont Digest Items of Interest In the Fields of Chemistry, Engineering, Physics, and Biology ..... •••• : ... Good News for Unsuspecting T. B. Victims • ~m*tere is news that marks another step JfX ahead in the fight against t. b.— jnews about free tests and new x-ray equipment. As a means of locating possibly one and a half million undetected cases of tuberculosis, the U. S. Public Health Service plans to offer chest x-ray tests to nearly every American during the next five years. This survey is made possible through the use of new equip ment which produces chest x-rays on small film, thus permitting mass exami nations at reduced cost. The development of the new film and the special fluoroscopic screen was not accomplished overnight. Organic chem ists, physical chemists, physicists, and other technically trained men were re quired to make exhaustive studies be fore the problem was solved. Special sensitizers had to be found. Phosphors and activators had to be formulated for the screen. Both screen and film had to be of ultra-fine grair^, and the spectral emission of the screen had to be adjusted to the spectral sensitivity of the film. Men of Du Pont are proud of their part in the development of this new aid to medical science. The fact that their efforts helped to contribute a new bene fit to society is a heart-warming in spiration. • • • Chemical Pest Control for more and better food "Eating”—somebody has remarked— "is a habit.” It certainly is! Men, women and children all have a firm, fixed habit of eating ... so enough food must be grown for them to eat. Du Pont chemists, plant pathologists, entomologists and engineers have helped the farmer to increase the nation’s food supply through their never-ending search for better ways of protecting crops. The development of new fungi cides is a typical example. Du Pont men were faced with the prpblem of finding chemicals to be used in treating fungus diseases of plants, i Miniature X-Ray Pictures May Uncover 1,500,000 Hidden Cases under conditions in which the use of copper and sulfur proved harmful. After long and intensive research they found the answer in the salts and organic de rivatives of dithiocarbamic acid—such as the iron and zinc salts of dimethyldi- thiocarbamic acid, and tetramethyl- thiuramdisulfide. Agriculturists now know Du Font’s iron salt of dimethyldithiocarbamic acid as "Fermate,” and the zinc salt of the same acid as "Zerlate.” These fungi cides are products of Du Pont research —research that is helping the farmer to bigger crops of better quality. • • • Now—Faster Dry Cleaning Two Du Pont products — "Perclene” perchlorethylene and "Triclene” tri- chlorethylene—have made dry cleaning quick and safe. These fluids clean clothes speedily, so that delicate garments need remain in the machine only a few min utes. They leave no telltale cleaning odor. Questions College Men Ask about working with Du Pont “WILL I GET LOST IN A BIG COMPANY?” At Du Pont, every effort is made to see that individual ability is recog nized and rewarded. New chemists and engineers work in small groups under experienced supervisors. As aptitude is shown, they are given more responsibility. While offering the broad avenues of promotion that go with size, Du Font’s group system assures college men of the sympa thetic, friendly conditions of employ ment commonly associated with smaller organizations.
