introduced the speaker mr c f rowland a graduate of cornell and now in the metallurgy department of the national tube company the speaker first called attention to two leading facts which were brought out in the pictures first the uniformity in the finished prod uct as the national tube company owns and operates its own ore mines and steel mills second the great amount of expensive and gi gantic machinery involved a short history of pipe was then given from the use of bamboo in the ancient times then the use of the pottery tube lead pipe was probably used in roman times as some specimens have been found among the ruins of herculaneum and in the old city of bombay an other use for tubing was gun bar rels and cannon these were first made of bronze but a cheaper ma terial had to be found so iron was used at first sheet metal was bent and then welded in 1812 osborne an englishman invented a pipe welding machine about this time lighting by gas came into use and increased the demand for pipe in 1825 whitehouse another english man invented butt welding there was an ever-increasing demand for tubing for use as boiler tubes gas pipes etc the first firms using the butt welding process started up be tween 1812 and 1830 in 1849 the pascal iron works were started on july 1 1847 j j wolworth went to england and inspected the tube mills there he brought back plans for a tube mill and on no vember 3 1849 the first tubes were the national tube company makes both lap and butt welded pipe as some engineers specify one and some the other when iron pipe was first made the sizes ranged from one inch to three inches in 1913 the national tube company manufactured 1 750,000 tons of steel tubing rang ing in sizes from one-eighth inch to thirty inches the motion pictures were then shown the first film began by showing the method of prospecting for ore by drilling then the ' ' quartering samples of ore preparatory to analysis were shown assumingthat examination proves the ore to be desirable steam shovels are brought and the barren upper strata is stripped uncovering the ore de posits this method of mining shown is called the open cut by which method the larger portion of iron ore is mined in minnesota iron ore somewhat resembles dark red soil or iron rust averaging continued on second page the athletic committee of le high university held its monthly meeting last thursday according to the rule adopted in 1914 the nominees for the football manager ship were sent before the committee and examined as to their efficiency and ability none of the three who are alden staats and gilroy were eliminated another matter that was dis cussed to some extent was that con cerning a new football coach up on the expiration of tom keady's coaching contract last fall an ad ditional one for three years more was offered and as yet no accept ance has been forthcoming no definite action was taken however regarding the matter the lehigh y m c a opened the year of 1916 in the associa tion's history auspiciously last sunday night when a large crowd including the women's club of the bethlehems heard madame jutta bell-ranske of new york city speak oru the subject the man that failed

madame bell-rauske is a speaker of wonderful ability and magnetic personality her earnestness is ap parent and her delivery that of a finished artist the sp eaker s topic the man that failed is based on the story of peer gynt by ibsen the speaker began by mention ing the great restlessness that is in the world at the present time there will be in time a great spiritual revolution madame bell eanske then sketched in short ibsen's career ibsen developed through ro mantic periods his country turned on him he failed and almost starved in 1860 he wrote to his king begging him for a pen sion he wanted this money to publish his works ibsen was not granted the pension and he went to rome where he published his f amjous story of peer gynt madame bell-ranske then de scribed briefly the story of peer gynt peer gynt starts out in life with a false conception of it his mother has filled him with fairy tales when he is young and makes him believe that the greatest thing he could become is an emperor ac cordingly his main ambition is to become king peer gynt grows up marries and treats his wife brutally he leaves her and becomes a man who lives a life of sin and sensuality he tries to wed the daughter of an emperor not for love but for the kingdom and crown that goes with it her father says that he will give peer his daughter if he can answer the question am i true to myself after many trials peer could not answer the question and he prays for his mother's aid continued on second page . finally peer goes into the moun tain and builds himself a hut and prays for a little girl whom he knew at one time in his life and loved she comes but after she ar rives peer g-ynt remembers all his sensuality and he goes out into the great world he gets money by selling slaves but continues to lead a life of sin and thinking of material things only he returns home and no one would have any thing to do with him the brown and white bethlehem pa tuesday january 11 1916 lehigh university vol
