LATIN AMERICAN CLUBDINES IN NORTH HALL

Dean H. P. Talbot and E. L.Bowles Talk to Members at

Noon Meeting

At a dinner in north hall. Vallker,Ion Saturda,. the Latin American Clubwas addressed by' Dean H. P. Talbot'85, and E. L. Bowles of the ElectricalEngineering Department.

About 50 members were presentwhen the dinner started at 12:30. Af-ter dinner, over their smokes, they lis-tened to the speakers. who were in-troduced by V. Elorza '25, president ofthe club.

Dean Talbot Gave ReminiscencesDean Talbot in his talk gave many

reminiscences of his two vears in Ger-many when he was a student. He con-sidered that his experience there shouldgive him considerable insight into andsympathy with the difficulties of theLatin American students in this coun- ttry. He remembered in particular oneof his professors in Germany whom he 1could not completely follow during his {entire first vear. The dean also ex- pressed a regret that many of the hos-[pitalities which the facultv would like L

to show foreign students -were impos-hoinbl Z. beas f thIe scatter-d codiio

of the Institute. <Mr. Bowles then told of some of his .

experiences with foreign students at Ithe Institute. He said that their chief adifficulty seemed to be with the lan-aguage and if they would try to make Itheir instructors realize this they wouldprobably make better progress. He ex- rpressed his entire sympathy with the tiforeign student and hoped that they 1,would not hesitate to call on him if he tcould ever be of any assistance to them. I

At the end of the dinner the club ex- 1pressed to Dean Talbot, through their (president, their svmpathv with Presi- 1;dent Stratton, and their hopes that he Nwould soon recover. a

ENGINEER HARRIERS ENTEREDIN INTERCOLLEGIATE RUN AT

VAN CORTLANDT PARK TODAYCaptain Bemis Expected To Give Kirby

Of Bull Dog Team Stiff Battle ForFirst Place In Big Event

By C. E. McCulloch

\With more than a score of colle-es and universities entered, theannual struggle for the national intercollegiate cross country cham-pionship will take place this afternoon over the six mile course atVan Cortlandt Park. '\Newv York. At the crack of the starter's gunat 2 o'clock- at least five entrants from each college will be hittingthe long trail for the coveted team prizes, so that 100 individualentrants is a rather conservative estimate of the pack which willrun in the annual event. Although Kirby of Yale is the favoritefor individual honors it is a safe bet that our own Captain FrankBemis wvill give the Bull Dog harrier a tough battle for the charn-pionship.

DANGERS OF ETHYLGAS EXAGGERATEDSAY RESERCH ME?

"'Carbon Monoxide Greater Menace Than Poisoning From

GIVE!; GREATER MILEAG,

"Reports pub~lishedl by! current nmagazines and newrspalpers grossly exaggerate the possibility of danger fronthe use of ethyl gasoline in autornobilinlotors, say Mr. Tyler Fuwa and MrD. P. Barnard, Research Associates iithe Departmnelt of Chemical Engineering. "Under ordinary driving conditions assuming that all lead fed into thimotor appears ill the exhaust gasesmore than a tonl of deadly carbon nmonoxide is liberated for every pound a:lead set free."

Those opposec to the use of this preparation claim thaithe lead compounds thrown out of th(exhaust will in timne bring on chroniclead poison~inz to those exposed to itIts effects would be felt especially inthe larger cities where automobile traf-firc in narrow streets is heavy, as theconcentration of exhaust gases is highunder such conditions.

RUSE LWES SENIORSTO 3 - 41 0 FOR PHOTOS

Technique Uses Beautiful MaidenTo Attract Delinquents

Sixty-five Seniors visited the newe assis-tant in the newly made studio in room3-410 between Friday morning and Sat-urdlay toontimne maksing the total num-ler of 263 Seniors to have visited thestudio in the two -vee};s that the photog-rapher has been at the Institute.

The young lady in the studio has en-ticed the Seniors to stand before theCamera when all other Tnetbods hadfailed. First the studio was brought tothe Institute eliminating the disagreeablej oulrney to Boston, and a man stationed

here 5 hours a day to make a permanentrecord of the Seniors' smilinlg faces.Every -one- expected to- see the room.Jarnmmed with Seniors fighting to havetheir pictures taken, but alas, the roomwas deserted for almost a week and

a half. Then the brilliant minds of thestrategy board got together to find out

the reason. They decided to have a newEassistant in the studio who could smile

at the Seniors in such a way that theSeniors would see their duty to the Tech-

nique and the Senior Class. The ideawas a huge success, the Seniors are flock-

ing to the studio to arrange appointmentswith the young lady, the photographer isworking overtime and as a result theyear book will be full of photos, theSenior Class officers will be satisfied andall because the strategy board realized

the weakness of Tech Seniors.

In 1883 he wascalled to the professorship of Biologyr atthe Massachusetts Institute of Tech-notogy; and there, at the Institute, hespent the rest of his life. He becamethe first head of the Department of Bi-ology and Public Health, the institutiono f which, it might be added, was due,in no small measure, to his tireless ef-forts and most meritorious work.

Professor Sedgwick acquired a distinc-tiOll in his chosen profession, whichplaced him in the foreground of the fieldof Ed-ucation- it carried him in 1917 tothe Pacific Coast, where he delivered aseries of lectures at the University ofCalifornia; and in 1920 be was the firstexchange professor at the Universities ofCambridge and Leeds, in England. Fortwenty-four years he was curator of theLowell Institute, doing a great deal tobroaden the prestige of that Society.

The names of the many learned so-cieties of which Professor Sedgwick wasa member cannot be enumerated in thisbrief article; suffice it to say, however,that all wvere honored by his member-sllip and counsel. He died in January25, 1921 in Boston.

THE UNKNOWN DONOR at

THE entire student body, as swell as those connected with crew'. evTare grateful to the friend of athletics at Technology who so igenerously evinced his interest in a concrete stay. The management at

and coaching staff at the boat house desire a public expression of (t

their appreciation. t

A gift wvas nev er more appropriate or timely. Lack of an up-to- date shell has hampered the varsity crewts in races wRitlh crews in Csuperior boats, but the receipt of this g~ift means that Technology pI.wvill lie on an equal footing when racing Harvard and Cornell thisspring. It also nileans an additional stin-itlatit to the -rowving popu- o

larity of crew.'Thle fact that Tecllnology athletics are carried on. w-itllout the 1

great source of income a football teami affords is of everlastingticredit to the friends of Technology whho have labored patiently and fgiven freely. They have had no small part in the development of

men at the Institute. A

EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES

SAE have noted with regret the -eneral lack of interest by the tYV students in the lecture courses wvhich the Institute offers as1

an addition to the general curriculum. We have llad without be- c'ing particularly cognizant of the fact. a series of most enmient lec-isturers here this fall. By no means have wve fully takien advantageXof the opportunities offered.1

Perhaps it is incorrect to say that such an attitude, such an inactive interest, reflects upon -our ambitions for an education. It 0is true that never again will the rank and file of us have the sameadvantages thrust into our hands as during the four years here in1Boston, and it is parasitic in a way not to make the moost of them.It is urged that the lectures offered by the Institute be mzore fuilvattended.

There are numerous additional opportunities outside the In-stitute. The Lowell Lectures at Rog~ers, the Sunlda a Lectures atcthe Old South Church, at the Boston Public Library, and at the Museum of Fine Arts, all offer a variety of subjects and a qualityof material that should not fail to appeal at some time to all of us.T-beyr constitute an extensiv e free university presenting to those inBoston a chan~ge to add to their specialized training a wsell-rounldedculture and a mind informed wvith valuable general informationl. Apersusal of any Saturday paper wvill give anv necessarv infirma-tion about these lectures.

THANKSGIVING VS. TURKEY

\HAT does Thankisgiving buring to your inind? Are you one e V of those gourmands who thinks only of his stomnach? Do you

thlinkc of a big dinner as synonomous with our great national [roli-day-? Aire you a brown bagger who thinks of Thanksgiving as aday upon which back problems in Heat Engineering mnay be madeup? Or are you by any chance that rare man who remembers thatThanksgiving Day was established for the purpose of diving thanksfor all the gifts of God or of Nature?

The day has gradually lost the religious significance attachedto it at its founding.2 In the early year's of our country, Thanks-g'iving Day was set aside f~or the returning of thanks to the Almightyfor all the blessings received in the course of the preceding year.The religious side was of foremost importance. Gradually, however;the day became one of national rejoicing and feasting. Footballgames have replaced the church services of bygone years. Turkeydinners havre sup'planted the prayer of thanks. Triple iE and Ap-plied Mechanics problems in many cases become the order of theday at Technology.I

Forget about lessons for one day at least. Remember thatyou have something to be thankful for. What if you did get a VoteNhine last term? Thank God that it wasn't a Vote Ten! Try toget a little bit of rejoicing into the day. Thanksgiving is one ofAmerica's oldest traditions. Let us do our share to keep it inexistence. The~ giving of thanks once a year is not such a terrifichardship. Remember how much good has come your way in the

WVith three men back from last vear'steam, tie !ockey season shows promise ofbeing very successful. Practice is beingheld three times a week at the Arena,and the team is showving very good form.Niles, Randall, Weissner and Deignan arethe regulars back for practice. Blakelyand Crandall of last year's f reshmanteam have a good chance of making theteam. Deignan will probably play goaltender, the post which was held by Den-ton Massey last year. The schedule hasnot yet been announced.

The new rink in back of building tenis now complete, and will be floodedwhen the weather is cold enough. Itmeasures 82 by 176 feet, and will pro-vide an excellent place for the team topractice. The team was handicapped lastyear by lack of a place to practice, as theArena was not always available. Thenew rink should remedy this condi-tion, if the weather is suitable.

NEW 1TYPE OF PULLMANON MERCHANrS LIMITED

We extend our heartiest congratula-tions to the New York, New Haven andHartford Railroad, on the appearanceof a new type of Pullman car. Whilethe car is not vet in service on quite allthe trains, it is on the Merchant's Lim-ited. No doubt we who travel on theMerchant's Unlimited will have to waitsome little time for the appearance ofthe cars on trains on which we travel;still it may well be the basis of an op-timistic line of thought.

The all-steel cars are painted graywith a gold stripe on the inside. Theysay the lighting is the "suns only rival"which feat is accomplished by domefloodlighting. The seats are smialler,and set lowecr, thus insuring the pas-senger a more comfortable trip throughthe wilds of Dorchester and pointsSouth. Dark carpeting, contrastingpleasinglv with the lighter shades ofthe paneling and ceiling (chosen byvtbelatest approved psychological methods,conducive to the good-humnor of pas-sengers), extends tile length of the aislewhich is wside enoughi to allow a personto carrv his suitcase without dislocat-ing his kneecap. One of the most in-teresting innovations is one which, it issaid, "provides for the proper supply offresh air, at the same time excludingdust and cinders."

We wonder if modern science hasoffered anything as a substitute for thejustly famous "vost-pocket ' drinkingcup." There are many other salientfeatures the reality of which a tripalone can tell.

DANGERS OF ETHYL GASGREATLY EXAGGERATED

Continued from Page 1)

Use of ethyl gas is justified becauseof the benefits to be gained by it. Itwras discovered by tile Research Lab-oratories of the General Motors Com-pans- that organic compounds off leadwhen added to motor fuels slowed upthe explosion in such a manner that itsforce isspread over a longer period oftime. It wvas then found possible to in-crease the compression in the motorwithout appearance of the knock, andhigher compression means higher effi-ciencv in the gasoline motor. By theuse of a special automnobile and stand-ard etlll gas, it woas found possible toget an avperage of over 35 miles pergallon under ordinary driving condi-tionls.

Technology did mluch of the dev e]-o)pmnelt Nvoll; for making ethyl gas ona commercial basis. Work wXas carriedon in the Chemlical Engi neering De-parimcent for about twvo Nears, and inthat time a newt netllod wvas turnedloult in addition to the imTprovemlelt onthe old onles. Mr. Brian Mtead and Dr.G. Calhigaert, Research Associates inthe department wvorksed for some timeon this subject.

DAVIS WANTS FUMBLERULE TO BE CHANGED

Parke H. Davis, a former memberof the Football Rules Committee ad-vocates a rule prohibiting a man frompicking up a fumbled ball. He advo-cates a radical change in the existingrules to eliminate the chance of atouchdown as the immediate result ofa fumble.

"This feature of football is uncouth,unfair and a relic of a long bygone era,"argues Mr. Davis. "The proper dispo-sition of this fluke play is to change therules so that the ball shall be put downfor scrimmage at the point where afumble is recovered by the side re-covering the fumble and no run al-lowed. If the fumble is recovered be-hind an opponent's goal line the ballshall be put in playt at the point whereit rvas fumbled."

CONSTRUCTION CORPSWANTS SUMMER COURSE

The office of the Construction Corps ofthe Navy Department here at the In-stitute is initiating correspondence in re-gard to arranging for summer instruc-tion for its regular students. Believingin the value of the Course in MechanicalArts, Captain Elliot Snow highly favorsit as a supplement to the regular courseof instruction. Formerly it has been thecustom of the department to assign menwork of this sort at the Navy Yard.

Captain Snow has recently written afive Material Bureaus of the Navy withthe purpose of getting a number of ad-ditional. naval exhibits for the MarineMluseum of the Pratt School of NavalArchitecture. A material extension ofthe exhibition rooml will be necessary ifhopes are realized.

The -'-avvX Department hopes to makeit possible soon for students at the In-stitute so inclined to be enrolled as mem-bers of a naval R. O. T. C. Plans, how-ev~er, are not fully formulated.

WRESTLERS WILL MEETOPPONENTS THIS WEEK

(Continued front Page 3)

Another reason for trying hard thisX ear is that there will be two teams,both of which wvill. comlpete in the In-tercollegiates next Spring. The ob-ject of this plan is to get a larger num-ber of mien in the meets with other col-leges, as well as a larger representa-tiOll in the Intercollegiates. The Tech-nololgy teanl wnvt the Intcrcollegiatesover Bro-vni and Harvard last v ear, andwith reasonable success will repeat thisvcear. Still a third reason for makingthe team is the fact that there will be aduel meet Nvith Harvard this vcear be-sides the meet in the Intercollegiates,giving our teami two chances at thenl-and wrho wouldn't enjoy beating Har-vard twrice in the same Xvear ?

'The freshiman. candidates are pro-gressing rapidly too. One thing thatis wvorrying them-, however, is the short-age of managers. Candidacy for theposition of manager should h~old somaeattraction, because at the end of thesecond term comnes prounotion to assist-ant manager, and in the Junior clearpromotion to nzanager. So let's seesonic of the freshman business sharksdo their stuff.

ADDITIONAL STUDENTSTO BE CADET OFFICERS

Additional Cadet Officers in the R.O. T^. C. announced byr the Departmentof Militarv Science are as follows :

To be First Lieutenants: C. E.Knight '25, H. E. Weihmiller '25, C.A. Ross '25, J. H. Rountree '25.

To be Second Lieutenants: D. E.Elmiendorff '25. R. W. Rogers '26, C.L. MacLapchlin '26.

In Russia, his native land, EugeneProcopovitch is dead, that is officiallydead, yet he is a Junlior here enrolledin the department of agricultural en-gincerinlg in Ohio University.

Within the past 1() years he has hada series of experiences ranging fromservice with the English troops at theD ardanell es to wvork on a coffee plan -tation in Brazil.

When the war broke out in 1914.P-rocopovitch was a cadet in the Imi-perial Russian Navy stationed at Cairo,Egy pt. on the "Orel,"' a training ship.He xvas transferred to the British fleetat the Dardallelles as an inlterpeter.Ill an engagem~ellt fought near Odessahe was wounded and wvas blindl forthree monthls. Gallanltrv- in action wollfor hint the Victory Cross and the 1lm-perial Russian decorations.

Following his recoverv front the%-,ound, he xvas sent to Uetrograd asan attache of the Imperial Naval staff,followed by a furlough in Egypt.

The next chapter in the life of theRussian wvas one that changed his lifealtogether. Procopovitch was assignedto a Russian ship, located near Odessa.Fearing that the Bolshevik governmentwould obtain possession of the ship, thecrew opened the seacocks and sankthe vessel. The crew wvent into hiding,since the Bolshevik government of-fered rewards for the apprehension ofthe mnembers of the crew. The Imipe-rial government was responsible for anews story sent out, in which all mem-bers of the crew were said to haveperished.

All avenues of escape lvere b~eingguarded closely, but through all in-fluential friend, Procopovitch was ableto arrange for a passage to Greece onthe Americanl slaip St. Louis. The es-cape was successful and Procopovitchwvent to France.

Here he met a friend w~ho had alsobeen a cadet in the Imperial navy. Thetwo arranged for passage to SouthAmnerica and landed at Sao Paulo, Bra-zil. Thev secured work on a coffeeplantation. Procopovitch might havebeen telling of slaverv as it existed inthe Southern states 'before the CivilWar. The plantation laborers lverepaid one "milreis" a dav for their ser-vices. The owner then charged themitwo "milreis" a dav for their boardanid lodging'

"Escape from the plantation is pos-sible only at the risk- of life, since theplantation owner is the lord of his wholedomain," Procopovitch says. The tacoboys struggled through the wilderness andfinallys reached the Soa Paulo.

Their next move was to attempt townork their passage to tb United States.French captains were antognistic whentheyi learned the nationality of the mell,anid refused their request. Procopovitchand his companion then attempted pas-sage as stowaways, but before the boathad left the harbor, they were discoveredand put off.

An appeal to the American consul re-sulted in a job on a construction ganigAfter saving money for their passage thetwo finally arived in N\ew York.

A\n array of odd jobs followed, afterwohich they registered at the Universityo f Cincinnati. There Procopovitch'scompanion is still a student.

Procopov~itch registered at Ohio StateUniversity this fall, and intends to gradu-ate here. He speaks six languages.
