metallur gical engineers will be moisture removal from air supplied to blast furnaces or cupolas this type is not new in some re spects professor jennings says because james gayley as far back as 1890 originated the idea but until the present time equipment for accomplishing this result was not available for effective produc tion equipment to bring interest the statement the idea was born forty years too soon perhaps tells the whole story jennings in dicates with present-day equip ment and methods there will prob ably be a general revival of inter est in the idea advantages claimed for the dry ing are that a much more uniform production can be obtained and appreciable decreases in fuel con sumption are possible tests have shown that a removal of as little as one grain of moisture per cubic foot of air can reduce the coke con sumption with some ores by as much as 300 pounds per ton of iron recent developments in refrig erating machines and in various other dehumififying processes

university this authorization has been given by dale h gramley university news editor rozell who played two years as tackle on the varsity football squad said that he has long felt that a spirited football song is needed at lehigh however since waring made his song-writing off er over a coast-to-coast network and since there are more than 700 colleges in the country it will probably be several months before the lehigh song is written dr maurice ewing assistant professor of physics and allyn c vine graduate student in physics are conducting an experiment in the measurement of the force of gravity by an accurate determina tion of the period of gravity pen dulums the experiments are be ing conducted in the dungeon room in the basement of the east end of the physics building dr ewing stated that this room was selected because its temperature is fairly constant and it is free from vibration two pendulums swinging in op position are used in the apparatus because a single pendulum would cause the case to sway and would thus introduce error the pendul um case has been evacuated to a pressure of less than 001 milli meter of mercury so that there will be no frictional drag caused by air the chronometer used to time the pendulums is an oscillator con troled by a quartz crystal dr ew ing said that the chronometer gave an accuracy far better than could otherwise be obtained the meas urements are so accurate that they are influenced by the gravitational attraction of the moon last week end it was necessary that dr ew ing and mr vine work in shifts for 48 hours to determine the magni tude of this effect and to eliminate it from the other calculations how the nazis gained control of danzig and the history of that city were the topics discussed by will iam h brodnitz a

member of pi kappa alpha crime at lehigh was discussed the other day by one of the cam pus cops the officer one of four who take turns letting fraternity dogs chase them around said that actual out and out crime is not too bad the worst headaches according to the campus guardian are caused by car looters — that branch of the town element that devotes its spare time to removing valuables and trinkets from cars parked dur ing football games and other uni versity functions there seems to be no way of preventing this nuisance as they have been known to break the windows of a locked car in their quest for fortune other than riding herd on the urchins the campus cops per form such trivial duties as letting frosh into their rooms after they have lost their keys answering queries of various visitors and tag ging cars of students who insist on parking in restricted areas routine job of the policeman is to visit all 16 university buildings making the rounds of the campus fraternities and enforcing the ten minute parking rule at the look out the cops have a kind word for student drivers most of the stu dents they have found are good drivers this fact is supported by the low accident rate of the cam pus the university averages one major accident a year on its grounds it was thought a cop's life was a dramatic and exciting one but as one freshman put it it seems to be like any student's — going to campus buildings and chasing bethlehem brats donald c young ch e 40 as sistant band leader will lead the band tomorrow at the haverford game the band will play over
