continued on page three mr liversiege was introduced by j m skillman who was acting president during r c hicks ab sence he opened his talk by say ing that we were going through a period of training but soon we would get real schooling by experi ence and hard knocks all good managers should have a certain amount of experience in all classes of electrical work one of the most valuable types of experience is in the handling of labor and the control of workers good man agers should know what their men are thinking of and what their de sires are and this can only be learn ed through close association with the workers contented employees are essential ' to a smooth-running organization and their comfort should be carefully watched over rules and conditions of rifle club matches one of lehiigto's recent graduates was the speaker at the mechanical engineering society meeting on thursday night he was cardin 19 who is employed by the bethle hem shipbuilding corporation and has had quite a little experience since his graduation in the installa tion of the engines and boilers of a ship mr cardin chose as his sub ject the construction and installa tion of power plants in ships and covered it very thoroughly in the limited time allowed him the fol lowing is a summary of his re marks : when a firm wants a ship built they adjyertise for bids giving the specifications for the kind of vessel they desire the size will depend on the cargo it is to carry and the depth of channels and harbors which it will enter the speed de pends also on the cargo ; whether it is perishable like fruit or whether it consists of oil coal or other non perishable products the speed is often a question of economy as a fast boat is more expensive to run than a slow one and the extra speed in some cases is of no benefit to the ~ ! e operating it the bid is usually awarded to the lowest bidder if it represents a re liable builder and work on the boat is begun first drawings are made of the hull and machinery and af ter these designs have been approv ed the actual construction is started the boilers occupying so much space and being so important a part of the ship are carefully planned their length diameter square feet of seating surface and weight are items taken into account the base price of steel is about 2.65 cents per pound and with the present size of boilers brings the total cost to 19,000 per boiler after the shell of the boiler has been constructed the combustion chambers are placed inside three or four being the average number per boiler the heads are then ri vetted on the front head being done by hand as more care is required in its installation the boiler is now ready for the tubes of which there continued on page four st paul's society enter tains bishopthorpe many students present to hear new jersey zinc co repre sentative speak on friday evening at 7 30 the regular meeting of the chemical society was held itn the chemistry lecture room r d billinger was in charge of the meeting due to the absence of the president he an nounced that at the next meeting which will be sometime in february a number of student papers on in dustrial disease will be read a short business session was then held at the close of which chairman bil linger asked dr ullman to make a few remarks and to introduce the speaker of the evening dr.ullman spoke briefly stating that he had asked mr green of the new jersey zinc co to give the so ciety a talk on microscopy and since the subject presented such a large field he did not know exactly what phase of the subject mr green would choose but he knew that mr green would have a very ' interest ing talk mr green then took the floor and reiterated the fact that the sub ject of microscopy covered a very large field but that he had come to give the society a talk on the mi croscope at the begin ning of his talk he pointed out the fact that every one who is engaged in chemical work must sooner or later make use of the microscopy and that it was up to every student and use of the microscope as soon as possible there are two fundamental uses of the microscope — one to magnify and the other the real use to re solve he then went on to des cribe the different parts of the mi croscope and the function of each stating that in order to use the mi croscope efficiently everybody should understand the parts and functions of the microscope mr green illustrated his talk by some very fine lantern slides and further made clear the function and use of the different kinds of micros copes by diagrams on the black board his talk throughout was very in teresting and very capably handled at the close of his talk he said that he saw no reason why the subject of microscopy should not be in cluded in the curriculum and he hoped that some day it would he said that the microscope was now being used extensively in the rub ber lead and zinc plants and tint the field was still broad and there was plenty of room for everybody the meeting then adjourned and all proceeded to saucon hall where the usual eats where served on saturday west point defeat ed lehigh's swimming team by the score of 39-14 this no doubt is a surprise to lehigh men since rum ors were afloat that the army would easily be defeated inferring that the cadets had a fairly weak team however the reverse is true the academy was represent ed by an exceptionally fast team and one that will give much concern to all its future opponents west point was strong in the dashes 50 100 220 yards and cap tured both first and second places in all of these events the maim surprise as far as le high is concerned lies in the fact that arner lehigh won the plunge with 60 feet linen arner has been steadily improving all season and it is quite a distinction for him regad who won the plunge last week at rutgers came in second at present this is lehigh's best de partment but the men in the other events are working hard and con sistently improving the relay was won by the army in the time of 1 57 4-5 this ap parently is poor time but is account edj for by the fact that the course instead of being 600 feet long was 640 feet in length in the dive straub lehigh was runner-up for first place which was worn by longwell army both gave a very good exhibition of fancy diving and were accorded much applause the event was very close and it wasn't until it was finished that one really could tell who won altho beaten by west point it is no discredit and in the past two meets much valuable experience has been gained which will make lehigh's mermen a team which will have to be considered as the team has much good material although somewhat green arid inexperienced the next meet will be with stev ens at hoboken on feb sth and the week after lehigh faces am herst at bethdehem feb 12 am herst on saturday beat harvard by about 30 points this meet should be very interesting summary of the meet : 50-yard dash — wort by goodman army second timberlake army

other goal coming to lehigh benzoni was the leading scorer of the game caging seven field goals and five fouls for a total of 19 points some of benrzoni's goals were excellent the majority of which
