He ‘ Is vicc-director and chief administra tive officer of the station. The alms of tho station arc four fold, Barlow’s report revealed, to stimulate engineering education, to investigate engineering and indus trial problems of importance to the state, to disseminate information In regard to such problems and to assist generally in the industrial development of TCxa-. Laboratories Laboratories operated by tho station exclusive of the undergrad uate laboratories Include the aero- iynamic laboratory or wind tunnel and the Gulbcrson engine labora tory at the Easterwood airport, the sanitary laboratory in the Chemistry building, the sewage dis posal,, fan testing, cottonseed pro-’ lucts, the chemurgic, the altef- tating current network analyzer ind the mass spectrometer labora- jory. , > j “We are now ready to extend wr work in the solvent extraction of the oil from the seed,” Barlow .•eported in connection with the cottonseed products laboratory. It is a chemical method. In the aeronautical field, “we are engaged in research on the de velopment of the personal type airplane in an attempt to make it an agricultural tool and a really useful means of personal trans portation,” Barlow reported.” - Fanners Texa? farmers and ranchers are using private airplanes in their Work. The development of such a craft is progressing. Their uses are multiplying daily, the report revealed. The Texas Engineering Experi ment Station has begun a research program on the many problems confronting their usage.

The explosion was at the huge Kiangnan Arsenal and dockyard on the, Whangpoo River about 3 miles from Shanghai's center. The. blast shook the heart of Shanghai and echoed across the countrywide. (The cause of the explosion was not explained. However, fighting has been reported in the vicinity of the arsenal) The situation was extremely jeon- fused. Authorities offered Only vague' answers to tho causes of at least 20 fires that raged in and around Shanghai. Every type of gunfire boomed and chattered throughout the night. Fires leaped and globed in many directions. Some were oil tanka. Some were warehouses. Some were dockyards in the Pqotung district, across the Whangpoo, East of Shanghai. The more distant glows appeared to he surburban villages. Tho Reds seemed to be pressing, their attack at many points on Shanghai’s defense perimeter. The Chinese Nationalist garrison communique described only minor actions, including a drivo by 1300 30 to Graduate At Consolidated Commencement exercises of the Consolidated High School Hlrt will be held in Gulon Hall on June A&M Police Literally Try To ' i ; J j i T Call Someone On Carpet Police were literally trying to night to call someone on the carpet. It started about 10 a. m. when the Paramount Rug & Carpet Cleaning Co. got about $50,000 worth of fine carpets and rugs from a Fort Worth firm hit by the flood. The rugs were watersoaked. They were spread out on a vacant lot to dry for cleaning. The cleaners left for a few minutes, No one knows how it got started, but a run started on the rugs. Within minutes, the lot was a hive of rug collectors. Police said a black truck drove up and loaded on three rollsj of carpeting. A red truck came and got five rolls. A green pick-up truck tried to load up but could only handle one load.

The sunflower, It ia pointed out, Ml . is one of the more promising oil seed crops. The National Cottonseed Pro ducts Association has provided the station with $1500 as a grant-in- aid for studies to b« conducted on tht development of control mea sures for insects. v ^’During tho past few months,” R. D. Lewis, director of the station said, “representatives of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station have had several conferences with representatives of the National Cottonseed Products Association to further i investigations of oil-seed crops. One of the more promising oil-seed crops not now commonly grown In Texas Is sun flowers.” Lewis pointed out. The callers soooi began to get more selective. Witnesses said about a dozen persons drove up, measured off the carpet and began to cut it up to fit rooms Jerry Collander and John Caw- thon were watching. They told police one man was carefully com- putine the size of his living room. “But I’ll t^low myself an extra six inches either way,” he said cheerfully, chopping into a roll of $16-a-si $16-a-square yard carpeting. Then the men from the cleaning company came bac(k and the crowd vantshiai j ' { j /‘They were hauling away car peting on bicycles,” said one of the employes.^ As night c$mo on,'Manager E. II.

Sadie Hatfield To Head Folklorists Miss Sadie Hatfield, Extension Specialist in Landscape Gardening, has been elected vice-president of the Texas Folklore Sodety. New officers were elected in April at the spring meeting held in San Antonio. In the past, Miss Hatfield has served us counselor and has held various other offices in the Texas Folklore Sodety. 1 Several of her artides, dealing chiefly with folk lore of plants, have appeared in the society’s annual publication. Miss Hatfield says the next meeting of the Folklore Society will be held at Southern Methodist University? Dallas, in April, 19fiQ.

Three planes for' the uso of big- shot Nationalists still stood by. however, and.Chinese airlines said they might try to use Lurtghwa again puer. The Communist radio in Peiping was silent about the Shanghai front but reported gains in the southeast and* far northwest. Salvation Army J \ Doing Big Jobs The Salvation Army, an inter national group motivated by reli gion and brotherhood, is presently working in 94 countries, according to a report from jits headquarters in Dallas.

More than half a million people wero cared for in its hospitals and clinics and more than 20 thousand unwed mothers and their babies were looked after in Salvation Army maternity homes. In Its world Wide program it has 17,329 corps and outposts named by more than 97 thousand unifor- mod officers nnd more than 14 thousand full-time employees with out rank. Tho Salvation Army also pro vides special welfare assistance to prisoners, alcoholics and to othejr people in need. Citizens Reminded Of Vet Poppy Sale Roland Dansby, Mayor.of Bryan, and Ernest Langford Mayor of College Station, have issued a joint statement to remind local citizens of the annual poppy sale which will be held on Saturday, May 28.
