57 was taken from the clothes of tne members delta sig ma phi 735 delaware avenue which was entered sunday morning be tween 3 and 3:20 ju m reported that 47 was taken from the house thief familiar with house plan it is the opinion of the members of the two fraternities that the pil ferer was familiar with the plan of their houses and although no one has seen the thief or thieves finger prints of an unknown person were discovered at the delta sigma phi hoose by the police yesterday dean c m mcconn who issued a warning last week to all dormi tory groups to be on the lookout for a person who had looted the lafayette dormitories stated that these robberies were probably not committed by the same person be cause the system used in the local robberies was different from that used at lafayette by marjorie wright the rumor that muth meyers allentown band was substituted for joe haymes at the military ball saturday night is not at all true states philip hooper i.e 37 mem ber of the arrangements committee haymes merely used meyers stands hooper further explained haymes had been under the im pression that the hotel bethlehem would supply the stands conse quently he did not bring his own the committee therefore had to supply stands which they procured from meyers donald w fouse i e 37 chair man of arrangements committee said regarding the misunderstand ing it is unfortunate that a ru mor like this should have been started because of the short notice on which we had to dig up the stands we were unable to do any thing except borrow stands from some other band we had hoped that the student body would show sufficient faith in the scabbard and 6 members added by eta kappa nu continued on page four funds show gain 3 seniors 3 juniors ini ated last night alumni contributions and dues show increase reynolds and ehasz deter mine stress and strain on rim and spoke first scientific manner by jennie pierok dr joseph b reynolds profes sor of mathematics and theoretical mechanics and francis l ehasz lawrence calvin brink research fellow in civil engineering have just completed a paper on the re sults of an investigation yielding formulae for predetermining the stress and strain on the rim and spokes of a wheel for a given load for the first time in recorded his tory man has been able to turn from the system of making wheels empirically arriving at the design by a trial and error method to a scientific approach to the problem the common wheel one of the six simple machines has at last been subjected to a mathematical inves tigation and may now be designed by farmulae dr reynolds worked out the mathematics of a wheel to fit the photoelastic picture of the stresses in a wheel as prepared by ehasz dr reyonlds assumed a stiff per fect line circle as a wheel with its spokes as thin lines which can stand shear moments joined into the cir cle he derived formulae for set ting up simultaneous equations whose solution will give moments and thrusts in the rim of a wheel when the spokes lie in the plane of the rim they will also give mo ments and shears in the spokes theory and practice check the theoretical results showed the spoke to be carrying 92 percent of the load when in its vertical po sition while the practical tests showed the spoke in that position to be carrying 93 percent of the load ehasz made photoelastic tests of wheel models made of transparent bakelite which show shadow pat terns depicting the nature of stress and strain in the wheel model he also made stress diagrams in the directions of the principle stresses these formulae will be used large ly in farm machinery design and will have no bearing on the auto mobile wheel because of the pres ence of the rubber tire by virginia edwards by
