engineering president of sigma xi who spoke briefly on the purpose of sigma xi and its importance to the university bradley stoughton then introduc ed dr herty saying in part the change that has come over open hearth steel in the last 10 years is the result of scientific methods of manufacture most of which have been put in effect by dr herty and his associates his work stands as a record for the future for he has improved steel processes immeas urably explains title of address dr herty who calls his work the physical chemistry of steel mak ing explained the reason for the title of his address briefly he sketched the important develop ments in the development of the open hearth process from the old bessemer and puddling processes steel making is essentially a chemical process he stated and proceeded to show by slides the various chemicals carbon phos phorous silicon sulfur and man ganese that are present with the iron and iron oxide in steel he discussed the chemical equili bria which are involved in this complex process and the diffusion phenomena in determining the rates at which impurities are eliminated he discussed the theory that steel is essentially a colloid whose sus pended particles determine the phy sical properties of the finished product concluding his address he men tioned the interest in the physical chemistry in steel shown by a course in steel production

minor and can easily be adjusted next year dancers and personalities at interfraternity ball carothers writes in new york times annalist of danger in attempts at artificial recovery attacks section 7a in codes as seat of labor trouble the year 1934 was the year of operation of the recovery program the developments of 1934 have demonstrated that attempts at arti ficial recovery may actually impede the process of natural recovery writes dr neil carothers director of the college of business adminis tration in the business outlook issue of the new york times annalist in his article triumphs and de feats of the year of trial and er ror recovery irresistible dr carothers points out how the year of 1934 has seen each of the projects started in 1933 amplified each of these projects the nra aaa and cwa has been in force at least a year and time has proven their economic unsoundness what ever economic recovery has taken place within that period can be at tributed to the natural recovery which comes after each depression in discussing the nra dr car others writes the nra has been a failure foredoomed from the out set there is reason to believe that nra has actually retarded recov ery attacks section 7a the ambiguity of section 7a has caused labor trouble and the stan dardization of wages and working hours have contributed to wiping out the little fellow the num ber of employees declined 5 per cent from september 1933 to septem ber 1934 while man-hours the true measure of employment had de clined 12 per cent the hourly wage had been greatly increased but hours had been so reduced that to tal payrolls have actually declined of the aaa dr carothers be lieves that it has been in a small measure responsible for better agri cultural economic conditions which now prevail in a like manner the rfc contributed relief to the dis tressed railroads but the cwa has been a failure in that it spent money recklessly often competing with private industry the banking situation has im proved by increased deposits which followed the restoration of confi dence in the banks but it has suffered by taking the government as a part ner and the tendency towards reck less banking encouraged by guar anteed bank deposits added to this is the fear that the government may some day take over the banking industry the unrecognizable monetary system has been a failure laying the foundation for a vast future infla tion and disturbing world trade our own trade decreased during the past year not in inflated dollars but in gold value in discussing the future dr car others prophesizes the prospects for 1935 depend on two unknown variables one is the rate of natural recovery the other unknown is the policy of the united states govern ment candidates take over all
