Concrete Railway Ties Have
Wooden Plugs for Spikes

Concrete railway ties, used on sec
ton of a right of way in northwestern
India, have proved to resist wear and
weather equally as we'll as wooden
ones, according to a report. 1t is be-
lieyed their employment will result in
great, savings of lumber and labor,
since they will not require replacing
as frequently as the timber. The
cement beam consists of two blocks
tied together with steel straps. The
rails are fastened on by means Of
spikes driven into treated-wood plugs
set in the concrete.

their clothes back.to except their
shoes; they also had to wear foot
ball helmets and carry pillows. The
pillows carried were for the men to
kneel on before Varsity Club mem
Der and salaam after the fashion of
the Turks. This last stunt was car
ried out to the extreme and one
could see oyer the campus at sany
time an old member being salaamed.
The candidates had to walk to
chapel in lockstep with Joe Folsom,
captain-elect of football, captain-in-
charge of his brother sufferers. AT
G.45 +. M. the initiation activities
were shifted to the gym, where the
more strenuous functioning' took
place. Mac Corey and Doe Moulton
had general charge of the, energy
released.
At $50 there were about 100 fell
lows who came in as guests of the
club and an energetic time was en-
ioyed for a half hour when there
was peanut rush. Before the rush
30 men lined up at each end of the
gym, face to the wall. and when they
heard the two pecks of peanuts
strike the floor they were to rush to
the middle OF the floor and gather
UP as many peanuts as they were
able. A real Bedlam was let loose
then and lasted right up to the al
lotted time with much gusto. None
of them were any the worse for the
fracas. Then refreshments were
served and it was evident that they
were welcome.
Coach Ray Thompson. Coach Oil
yer CUTS. and Coach jenkins were
the speakers. They furnished the
vocal humor. The Alma Mater was
sung at the close Of the meeting and
the initiation exercises were over for
this semester
