Research Work
 by Engineers

"COlumbia has recently equipped an ore-dressing laboratory, in which Prof. Arthur T. Taggart Is conduct ing experiments in the filtration of ores. The laboratory Is so equipped that both large and small quantities or ore can be studied. Another Co., lumbia professor. Edward F. Kern. as- sistant professor of metallurgy, is con- ducting experiments in the treatment of ores. Industrial reasearch is also being carried on in several other i'm portant fields at Columbia, notable ex- amples of this being the work of Michael E. Pupin, professor of cleo tro-mechanics at Columbia, and Wal ter l. Slichter, professor of electrical engineering.
 "The assertion by government ex- perts that this nations supply of crude oil cannot last for more than 20 years makes increasingly important experiments conducted at Columbia "a number of years ago to determine the amount of gasoline which can be drawn from crude oil and the by- products of the oil. Research work of enormous value to the nation should be done immediately to ascer- tain if larger percentage of the crude oil could not be used for gasoline. It would be possible to continue this

ROPE SUPERIOR TO LEATHER
FIbrous Material Rapidly SuppIanting Betting in American and Euro
 pean Mills and Factories.

For 20 years there has been an in- creasing use in this country of manila rope for power transmission in mills and factories in place of leather belt Ing. In English factories ropes super seded belting long ago, and their use is nearly universal. In the United States the change that has taken place began with the acquisition of the Phil ippine islands, where, as everybody knows, the Manila hemp fiourishes. The fiber of the hemp varies in length from 6 to 12 feet. and occasionally at tains a length of IS feet. It is said to possess greater tensile strength than any other fiber known, exceed ing 50OO0 pounds per square inch. Rope drives, as transmission ropes are called, possess the advantage of noise lessness, owing to their fiexibility and to the existence of an air passage in the grooves between the rope and the sheath.

Agencies Cooperate in Effort to Salvage the Knowledge
 Gained in World War.
CONDUCT INDUSTRIAL STUDY
Special Committees Are Formed to Collect and Disseminate Informa- tion-Hundreds of Big Plants
 Fostering Research Work.

New York.-America is entering on an era of industrial research in which corporations, large and small, are linked with government agencies, en- gineering organizations and universi- ties, in a systematic effort to salvage the knowledge gained in war and to awaken the nations latent industrial and economic power. Hundreds of plants are fostering these researches, for which a permanent national sys- tenn is being worked out by Engineer ing Foundation, an instrumentality of the United Engineering society to ad- vance the rapidly developing science of engineering.
 It Is only recently, however, that research has become a really national undertaking.
 Activity in industrial research must be co-ordinated and expanded. said Robert NJ. Raymond, professor of min ing in the, schools of mines, engineer Ing and, chemistry of Columbia. The university, said Professor Raymond, is now conducting industrial research which will be of great value to the nation. Prof. Arthur M. Greene of Rensselaer, Polytechnic institute, Troy, N. r., chairman of the research com mittee of the American Society of Me chanical Engineers, took the same view.
 For Specific Research.
 This committee, Professor Greene explained, Is accomplishing Its work by organizing special committees for specific research and by collecting and publishing research information. The American Society of Mechanical En- gineers is one of the four founder so- cieties for which the United Engineer ing society holds certain endowments. Engineering Foundation, devoted to re- search, under the headship of Charles F. Rand of this city, past president of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, is a de pertinent of United Engineering soci- ety, the other organizations which 1t comprises being the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American h. stitute of Mining and Metallurgical En- gineers and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.
 'The life of every American citi- zen and the destiny of the republic will be vitally affected by the work in industrial research now going on," said Professor Raymond, who is a member of the Engineering Founda- tion board, representing, with Prof. Joseph w. Richards of Lehigh uni versity, the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers.
 Researches already conducted at Columbia and on which work Is now progressing" Professor Raymond add ed, enabled Prof. William Campbell, professor of metallury in the schools of mines, engineering and chemis- istry, to ascertain within a few hours just what was the mechanical defect in the shafts of the German ships which were Overhauled in New York harbOr. AS a result of the experi- ments he is making in testing the con- struction of metals, Professor Camp bell can immediately tell, for exam pie, in what process the defect in a piece of steel arose, and can inform the manufacturer how to correct the fault.

Latest Statistics Show Amount of Building So Far This Year
 Less Than Year Ago.
LARGE CITIES UVERCROWDED
Lack of Price StabiIlzatlon One of the Chief Causes of Slowing Up of Construction Work = Little
 Hope for Drop in Prices

New YOrk.-"As we advance into the new year it becomes constantly more apparent that no problem Is in more urgent need of an early and wise solution than that which is involved in the nations housing situation" says s. W. Straus.
 From the most reliable statistics ob- tainable at this time the actual amount of building accommodations through out the country are considerably less than they were a year ago. While the figures indicate an increased cost Of new building contracts awarded dur ing the year 1920 of about per cent, as compared with 1919. this was more than discounted by the added cost of building construction and the loss of available space through fires and de terioration. In brief, the country is going backward in its housing equip ment.
 "Overcrowding in the large cities has reached such a serious state that health authorities are sounding an alarm. These unwholesome conditions also develop social unrest and lawless- ness. and it Is apparent that every possible agency should lend itself to the work of helping in the practical solution of this grave problem.
 Building Projects Held Back.
 "It Is to be hoped that large build ing movement will start this spring and summer, but no one can tell what developments may arise meanwhile. Lack of price stabilization has been one of the chief causes of the slowing up of construction work since the ar mistice. Vast amounts of building

 Conservation of the nations re- sources, which, 1t Is commonly agreed, we have been using with too lavish a hand, Is the direct result of a large amount of research work now being done.

House Shortage
 Growing Worse

projects have been held back because of the feeling that building costs would recede later. However, experience has shown that those who waited have gained nothing, while those who went ahead with their plans have no cause for regret. During the last year the amount of work projected was about twice as much as the amount of actual operations
 ''The uncertainty as to future price tendencies constitutes one of the most unfavorable factors in the situation today.
 ''The feeling is being fostered by the slump in prices in many commodities It should be borne in mind, however, that conditions incorporated in the general range of commodities and those in the housing situation are not analogous. The processes of liQuiGa- tion such as we have witnessed lately with regard to general merchandise cannot include the building commod- ity. Merchants can move their stocks of merchandise from their shelves by cutting prices, and there always is more or less fiuctuatiOn in these lines. Housing space. however, is generally leased on a basis of one year or more. During periods of retrenchment, such as we have witnessed in this county during the last six months, housing, therefore. is affected less than any other commodity. People can quickly adjust themselves to economies in clothing, food and other requirements of their daily lives. while business con- cerns can reduce quickly operating costs by putting into effect general economies. But in neither instance is 1t generally possible or advisable to curtail expenditures for housing space.
 No Benefit In Delay.
 "Sone of the abnormal prices and bonuses which have existed in the con- structiOn business will not continue to be paid, but general fundamental con- ditions at this time do not indicate that there is wisdom in withholding building operations.
 "The basic influences which may be expected to exert their force against
 
 ized as follows:
 Unprecedented demand throughout the country for housing facilities of all kinds.
 Shortage of highly paid skilled laborers in many of the essential building trades.
 Tremendous increases in business, with a corresponding increase in nee essary building equipment, after the present period of readjustment and liquidation.
 General tendency toward readjust- ment to higher levels of income from property.
 "Export demand for American build ing materials as conditions improve abroad.
 "Insistence of public on constantly improved standards of living, with cor responding demand for more costly equipment"
