IN EFoRE me are two pictures, five
thousand miles and twenty five
years apart. One is of group of
youngsters sliding on home made
sleds down the side of old Squaw Mountain,
in back of the mines at Cripple Creek. Colo
rado The other is of our fifteen American
Olympic champions, now competing for all
they are worth on the latest thing in scientific
bob courses in a snowy Bavarian valley at
Garmsch- Partenkirchen. Those two pictures
illustrate the almost fantastic recent progress
of bobsledding as competitive sport.
No high priced engineer came from Berlin
to design our slide down the side of Squaw
Mountain. No elaborate slide-rule calcula-
tions figured out the proper angles and banks
for the curves. No gangs with tractors
hauled block ice or stone to reinforce the
sides. No telephone system controlled its
traffic Such as it was, we had made it our
selves. Likewise the sleds. Some of them we
coupled together in train long enough to
carry thirty or forty people. Sirs, that was
spot: though even with thirty or forty people
aboard we probably never whizzed down at
such speed as Captain Hubert Stevens and
his fellow champs are now attaining at
Garmisch- Partenkirchen.
The Olympic bobsled races, some of which
are probably being run as you read this. are
particularly interesting Practically the entire
American team learned the game at Lake
Placid, on the now famous Mt Van Hoeven-
berg slide. Of the fifteen. Billy Fiske and
young Gilbert Colgate are the only men who
have ever raced abroad. Fiske. as all the fans
know. topped the world at St. Moritz in
1928.
Of the others, husky Hubert Stevens, the
Lake Placid civil engineer. had never even
seen bobsled or run until 1890. That is
the same Hubert Stevens who. with his
brother Curtis on the brake. tore down Mt.

bob-run above the Riessersee was recently re-
constructed under the supervision of the cele-
brated Berlin engineer. Stanislaus Zentzytzk
1t was he. you may remember, for whom we
sent to design the Mt. Van Hoevenberg slide
The Riessersee Bobsled Club commissioned
Zentzytzki to make their course more sporting
and put more curves into it.
1t is theory among some German pilots
that the automatic steering" made possible
by the steep-dropping curves makes the races
less exciting. That remains to be seen. One
feature of the rebuilt course is a series of three

Garmisch- Partenkirchen is
about half a mile shorter.
Also. it is considerably
slower. The curves at Lake
Placid drop just as sharply
as the straightaways (some
of them are even sleeper
while the curves in Bavaria
are flat. Naturally, this
means that a different style
of driving is necessary.
This difference is rather
surprising to learn about
when you consider that the

clocked at the last Olympics, in 1882.
Donna Fox didn't begin racing until
couple of years ago. But last February in the
try-outs he piloted his four-man team to
new course record at Lake Placid. There is
legend that he was actually unconscious for
the last half of that run; otherwise he and
his entire team would have had even worse
spill than the Germans Werner Zahn and
Fritz Grau got in 1882. He went into the
hairpin curve known as Whiteface too soon.
Being unconscious, he let the sled steer itself

BALTIMORE, November 13.-A
new, simple mathematical solution Of
many involved calculations used by
scientists and engineers by drawing
triangle and lines within it was re-
ported today before the American In
stitute of Chemical Engineers.
DR.. j. G. Elgin of Princeton Univer-
sity declared that the method would
give quick, accurate answers to prob
lens over which industrial workers
have formerly labored with pencils
and slide rules for hours. =.
AS used in solving problems con-
nected with the process of teaching" +"
or washing, substances in the chemical
industry the method calls for using
the three points of triangle to rep
resent, respectively. the solvent, such
as, an acid; the insoluble solid sub
stance. such as crystals, and the solute,
or material which is dissolved.
Any point along the lines between
the three corners of such a triangle
represents the percentage of the ma
terials at the two corners it connects
and any point inside the triangle rep
resents the percentages Of the three
materials at the corners, DR.. Elgin ex-
planned.

Triangular Method Euolped
To SOIue Chemical Problems

The data given in the problem to
be solved are located as points on the
lines of the triangle: other lines are
then drawn from these points and
their intersections give an immediate
answer by simple inspection, he de-
clared.

ton, w. Va; Joseph H. Koffolt and

Fieldner of the Bureau of Mines,
Washington, d. c., presented group
paper on new advance in the re-
covery Of potash, valuable constitu-
ent of fertilizer and explosives, from
American resources.
The work was declared by chemical
engineers to be a further step toward
the dependence of the United States
on its own natural resources should
other countries Of the world continue
their trend toward economic ma
tionalisn.
The opposite course, it was pointed
out, is the tendency toward freer
world trade as embodied In the re-

promoted by the United States to en-
courage mutual intercourse between

COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 13.-
Economic improvement for American
agriculture was predicted yesterday by
speakers at the annual session of the
National Grange, as 1t celebrated its
SEVENTEEN birthday.
Harper A. Sibley. Rochester. N. Y,
president of the United States Chamber
OF Commerce, and Carl B. FritSche,
Dearborn, Mich, managing director
OF the Farm Chemurgic Council, told
members of the country's oldest farm
organization that better days were
coming.
Sibley named three factors on which
he based his prediction-an increasing
export market, greater purchasing
power and growing use Of agricultural
products In industry.
Fair prices for farm products are
essential for prosperity" Sibley de-
clared. He favored controlled produc-
ton in order that supply and demand
hCPt AIl boinAASC. All WoJ
fair prices can be maintained, he said
Farmers should not make plans for
the future on the basis of what has oc-
Cured during the drought years." Sib-
ley said. They should be guided by
the five-year average in governing pro-
duction. We will have bumper crops
again"
The speaker commended the Federal
administration for its soil conservation
program, declaring 1t very sound"
Likewise, he had a good word for the
present foreign policy, which he said
has resulted in increasing export trade.
Sibley warned against Government
coercion In any farm program, main-
tanning it should restrict itself to CO.
operation. Problems of administra-
ton pertaining to farm programs, he
said, should be worked out by the
farmers themselves as State groups
with agricultural colleges and county
agents.
Fritsche told the grangers that In
dustrial use Of farm products will prove
to be their salvation in years to come.
