ENGINEERS FRAME
SAFETY CODE.

Safety movements to safeguard
the Industrial worker are multiply
ing and codes designed TO eliminate
the hazards Of many fields Of en-
ployment are being devised nots-
bly, by engineers. The American
Society OF Mechanical Engineers has
just completed a national code to
protect the millions carried daily by
the nations elevators. Reduction
Of accidents with their heavy toll OF
, human life is the aim OF this code.
The boiler code OF this society, to
do away with accidents resulting
from boiler explosions, now law IN
twenty States, Is another example
Of the progress of safety codes.
Nineteen power test codes. con-
stituting what their trainers styIs
a national common law" in the field
Of power plant testing. are being
framed by l25 leading engineers,
scientists and educators under he
auspices Of the American Society Of
Mechanical Engineers.
The national investigation OF in
dustrial waste conducted by the
Hoover Committee OF the Federated
American Engineering Societies re-
veals that great economic loss was

suffering from defective vision.

a national move for eye conserva-

been set in motion and Is being d.

council.
Another important step toward
the solution of an accident problem
has just been accomplished through
the decision of the American epgi-
neering standards committee that
the development Of q safety code for
conveyors and conveying machinery
be undertaken. The Introduction Of
mechanical conveyors in many in
dustries has eliminated a large pro-
portion OF the accidents resulting
from the manual handling OF ma
terisls. but Il has at the same time
introduced new hazards. many OF

The District Attorney said he had
no reason to believe the supposed

irrespective Of this consideration.
Police Investigators and the District
Attorney have insisted from the start
that Sands could furnish the key to

the fact that young Thompson was
probably the first Delaware boy
wounded In the war.
Henry B. Thompson, Jr.. was in
active service in the French Army
for some time before this country
got into the war While a student
at Princeton University he went to
France with a Princeton Ambulance
unit After getting to France. how
ever, he volunteered for field service
because Of the urgent need for men
in that service and was engaged in
carrying ammunition to the front
in the Aisne sector when wounded
Young Thompson was decorated
with the Croix-de-Guerre by the
French for bravery After leaving
the Hospital following his wounds
Mr.. Thompson remained in the
French Army until transferred to the
American Army, aviation service
and served in the 22nd Air Squad
ron. After the war he returned to
Princeton and graduated in the class
Of 20. His father in addition to be
ing president Of the board OF trus-
tees OF the University of Delaware
has also been a trustee of Princeton
University for a number Of years.
The campaign for funds for the
proposed library will be in charge
OF the executive committee OF the
board but the plans will first be sub
mitted to the board for approval be
fore the campaign is started. 1t has
been made clear that the campaign
however, is not to involve the uni
versity in the expenditure OF any
funds.
To avoid any possible chance OF
confusion during the absence OF the
president of the university at any
time. the board adopted a resolution
making the dean Of Delaware Col
lege the acting President of the Uni
versity at such times. 1t was first
suggested that the board each year
elect someone to be acting president
in case OF the absence or disability
Of the president. The action Sat
urday. however. settles this matter
definitely without the necessity Of an
election each year. AS Dean e.
Laurence Smith. is dean OF Della
ware College, he will as long as he
holds that office be acting president
in the absence OF the president.
The board Saturday also elected
