TITLE ROLE IS
 TAKEN BY STAR FOOTBALL MAN
Pat O'Brien at Capitol in College Coach Once
 Marquette Player


 When Warner Bros. cast Pat OBrien in the title role of College Coach, the biting football picture which comes to the Capitol The ater tonight, they upset the prov erbial apple-cart and one of Hol- lywood's seemingly staunchest tra- ditions.
 Usually when a motion picture star has a special talent he is as signed every possible role except the one depicting his forte Will Rogers, for instance, is one of the greatest newspaper columnists in press history, with his daily story read by millions, yet Rogers has never played newspaperman's part
 Ben Lyon is a licensed transport pilot, and is cast in every conceiv- able role except that of an avia- tor. Gary Cooper drives racing cars for hobby, but Gary never dons the goggles for the cameras. And so on down the line of stars who can do things in real life but never I get to do them on the screen.
 Therefore it was real surprise to have Pat O'Brien cast as the professional football coach in the Warner Bros. picture. Few movie fans know that the Pat O'Brien of screen fame is none other than the Pat O'Brien who few years back guided Marquette University teams to gridiron victories. His sparkling run for touchdown through Notre l Danes outfit in his senior year still remains one of the highlights of Marquette's football history.

SUNS RAYS ARE
 BEING HARNESSED
New Invention May Solve
 Age Old Problem of

New York, Dec 13-(UP)- Mans dream of harnessing the en- ergy of the sun seemed within reach today following demon stration of an invention that con verts the suns rays into electric power.
 Dr c. W. Hewlett the inventor, and Ellis L. Manning. physicist, demonstrated the device before the New York Electrical society last night. Instead of the sun the demonstrator had 50-watt electric bulb. Its rays were sufficiently strong to develop enough energy to operate a motor one-third as powerful as that in an electric clock. Under sun light, it will 7op- crate a motor of greater power. but still of fractional horsepower. !" they said.
 The power developing apparatus consists of four black, iron diccs coated with thin layer of selen- ium, light sensitive mtcal, which in turn is coated with semi-aranspar- ent layer of platinum. These discs are about twice the size of a dol lar. Contact with light generates electricity.
 Hewlett and Manning are em- ployes of the General Electric com pany and the device was developed in the company's laboratories.

In a foundry, for example, he should avoid ex- posing himself and his fellow workers to dust clouds through careless use of compressed air. Sand piles should be kept damp and good housekeeping observed. Sandblast equipment and exhaust systems shoulb e maintained in good condition. r
 Chromium plating tanks give off chronic acid mist, which, if not carried off by adequate exhaust ventilation. causes chrome. ulcers or perforated nasal septum, MT Cook warned.

Effects of the working environ ment on health were analysed, and precautions against several types of industrial hazard were given by w. A. Cook, chief industfial hygien- ist of the State Department of Health, in the departments weekly broadcast today.
 The first example of an occupa- tfonal ailment which MT Cook de- scribed was one which occurs in the home as frequently as any where else. Technically it is called prepatella bursitis. but it's more common name Is "house. maids knee" a condition which may be sufficiently severe to cause total disability for time. It re- suits in the home from scrubbing floors on the hands and knees, but i salso found among linoleuEi layers, electricians and others who must kneel for extended periods i nthe course of their work. The precautions against it are simple: use sponge rubber knee rest and refrain from remaining on the knees after excessive fatigue and discomfort have sounded warn- ing.
 In industry controlling health hazards is not so simple, however. MT Cook said. Among the more serious occupational disease prob lems today is that of preventing high concentrations of dust from entering the, lungs and causing pneumonoconiosis. Certain amounts of dust. can, be breathed without injury, but beyond certain limits in- haling of dust becomes dangerous. To be assured that dust is being Kept within safe limits it is usually necessary to employ special appar- atus. to make dust determinations. :,
 In rock drilling, whether in quarrying or tunneling operations dependence cannot be placed on wet drilling to keep dust concen- trations below danger limits, Use of drill dust traps reduces both the amount of dust breathed by the driller and the amount of settled dust dispersed into the air by blasting and other causes The
