professional Ethics and quoted
the Encyclopedia Britannica as
defining ethics as ''the science of
moral philosophy"
DIR. Jones continued, "The con-

and periods of time to be regard
ed as science. 1t is rather a
philosophy.
For those of us who are in
the habit of saying what is right
and what is wrong, on the spur
of the moment, it will be interest
ing to know that for centuries,
philosophers have ro1dered the
problem OF ethics. The subject is
largely an abstract one.
In the strictest sense of the
word, there is no such thing as
professional ethics. 1t is a cues

wrong. pertaining to all of us re-

been having trouble with the clutch

The automobile manufacturer had

The reporters took him at his word.
but outside the White House door
waited the more intrepid Lanigan,
who had been bursting for months to
say to Chrysler:
Il haven't had much luck with my
De Soto. I can't make it work. I've
been having an awful time"
So Lanigan stepped right up and
made his speech. Chrysler stopped
and listened. He then turned to r.
Walter Evans, Washington De Soto
distributor, who had been waiting for
Chrysler to complete his talk with the
President.
"Mr. Evans, take down this mans
name and see that he gets fixed up.
And don't forget it."
Evans handed Lanigsn his card
with instructions to come around to
his show rooms at 1921 Fourteenth
street and get new car. Lanigan has
had his sedan for six months.

their effectiveness"
F. G. Arnold, aeronautical engi-
neer, U. S. Naval Air Station, San
Diego, Calf, told the meeting here
that naval overhaul organizations are
not provided with stress data on planes
they are required to service.
The overhaul phase is an operation
with which the designer is generally
unfamiliar" he added.
Due to this lack of data 1t is diff
flcult to design repairs or reinforce
ments with any degree of assurance Of
their effectiveness"
Arnold described corrosion as "the
greatest OF all bugbears to the over
haul agency" This is especially true
of seacraft because of exposure to salt
water, he pointed out. He blamed poor
heat treatment of plane parts in the
factory for one type of corrosion and
said this may be serious as it may
progress within the metal with no
outward visual sign whatsoever"
An almost invisible pimple." Arnold
explained. may be observed on the

Thus structural part, poorly
heat treated, may deteriorate beyond

pected."
