No Guarantees Given, Asked.
THERE are no guarantees given and
none asked, another way in which
the Rochester A. and M. I. plan re-
sembles the Hopkins plan. The Roch-
ester teams schedule only on . home
and-home basis. Teams playing them
are left to make what money they may
when meeting Rochester A. and M. I.
on their own courts.
As to coaches, Rochester A. and
M. I. pays only one and then only
during the season. The basket ball
mentor gets the hay. Fortunately for
Rochester A. and M. l., 1t has had in
its faculty capable wrestling instruc-
tors who donated their services to the
mat team. A greak break.
There has been no deficit in the
athletic fund since the plan went into
operation. The crowds at the Roch-
ester A. and NJ I. games are orderly.
The teams get good competition. The
basketers usually have seven or eight
home games and as many away q
season. The wrestlers stack up against
the teams Of such institutions Is
Syracuse. Ohio State and Case, among
others. And Rochester A. and M. I.
wrestlers have been good enough to
60 far in national competition.
The students have a great time at
no cost beyond their regular athletic
fees, which they must pay even though
they don't attend the matches. The
townsfolk Of Rochester get high-grade
free entertainment.
The no-pay proposition certainly
seems to pay at Rochester A. and M. I.
Perhaps Hopkins will make q 60 Of it,
even though trifle late in advancing
the policy.

His mining operations during the past summer are said to have been very satisfactory & operations were just recently sus- pended due to cold weather. MT. Laurin, falling to receive any en- couragment from the government in the building of an airplane landing field near his vast hold ings rented a bull-dozer from George Bodis and took it upon himself to build privately own ed airport, at considerable ex- pense. He reports that the field is 1900 feet long by l50 feet wide and is located about one mile from his mining g operations on a hill between Preston Gulch and Kougarok River; mail, neWspa- pers, and supplies were received almost daily during the past sum- mer, and afforded the best service his section has ever enjoyed. Others intendin g to land or make use of this privately owned field are cautioned to first see MT. Laurin, as the field is constructed on his mining property.

AS one it wasn't hard to be
A spreading coat, an ample hat
And an abundant line of chat
Would cause us all to pause and stare,
And listen with the closest care.
Through hard work now his praise he
seeks.
He has to think before he speaks.
No more can eloquence be tossed
On high, mid rainbows to be lost.
No more the audience is stirred
To gratitude by one kind word.

This is one of the problems now be-
fore the plastics section of the Bureau
of Standards, resulting from request
of a Federal prison warden. The heavy
china cup, it appears. can be deadly
weapon in riot which breaks out at meal
time. Besides, it is cumbersome ana
chips badly under the rough treatment
it gets in dish washing.
Another problem upon which the ou-
reaus chemists are working is the con-

transparent material which will stand
a blow of 10000 pounds without break

ton that the combined speed OF bird
and airplane is 270 miles an hour ana
that the bird weighs four pounds. 1t
was at first planned to drop heavy
weights on various materials in the shaft
of the Washington Monument, but sec
ond thought revealed that this would
be impractical because it would not ac-
tually simulate the mass and velocity
condition encountered in the air. Some
very serious accidents have resulted from
the impact of birds and planes.
These two instances are evidence OF
the place "plastics" have reached in
present-day American life, according to
a recent statement from the Bureau OF
Standards, where a new division has
been created to work with them. The
uses Of these solid, light, and sturdy ma
terials obtained from the gaSses range
from cocktail tables to grand pianos.
Certainly" says the Bureau OF Stand
ards statement, "the manufacture OF
some of these colorful plastics entirely
from gases in the atmosphere is an
achievement to stir the imagination.
The production of synthetic ammonia
from nitrogen and hydrogen and its
conversion into urea by reaction with car
bon-dioxide are we'll established processes
in the chemical industry.
Likewise formaldehyde is syntheSized
commercially by the reaction OF carbon
monoxide and hydrogen to yield methyl
alcohol. These two synthetic products,
urea and formaldehyde. are then con-
verted into a modern-heat-harde
plastic by interacting chemically. SINH
lar seemingly impossible changes OF
state could be described for the whole
gamut of synthetic plaStics. Likewise
nodded products is technical problem
involving a combination of mechanical
skill and a knowledge of engineering.
"Plastics were formerly considered ma

parts which were required in large num-
bers. The development of large-capacity
presses has shown that housings and
cabinets of considerable size and for
which there is relatively limited demand
can be advantageously nodded of syn
thetic resins because Of their light
weight, resistance to corrosion and
handsome appearance. Similarly, the in
lection molding press is recent develop

plasti's.

Thus far, it is pointed out, the expert
mental work in this field at the Bureau
of Standards has been centered largely
upon transparent plastics for airplane
windshields, but Government depart
ments and private firms more and more
are calling upon the plastics section for
materials with a wide variety of applica-
tions. The field is becoming of special
importance in the uses it creates for
hitherto wasted farm products.
Tests of non-eXplosive motion picture
films just concluded at the Bureau of
Standards show that they are not only
a vast improvement from the standpoint
of safety but that they also are much
more lasting.
This is a matter of great importance
because of the growing practice Of pre-
serving permanent records on films.
These films have a base of celluloSe
acetate instead of cellulose nitrate, which
has been the chief material in the past.
The two types have been put to the
same endurance test used at the bureau
to determine the stability of record
paper, which consists of heating in a
dry oven at 100 degrees centigrade. The
physical and chemical properties of the
films were determined before and after
oven-aging treatments of various dura-
tionS.
The cellulQse acetate films withstood
this test for 100 days without serious
deterioration. The nitrate films became
useless after 10 days under the same con-
ditions.
