This effect. Mr. Hani-en outlined.
Is obtained by changing the mag

change alters the magr.etic pres

corn against the lid of the popper.
These noises are attributed to the
rearrangement of the molecules in
the iron, and this phenomena is
thought to be accounted for by the

Hansen stated.
The speaker will also show ty
an experiment that an iron bar can
be magnetized by rapid rotation.

the various classes of compounds
that have been produced and ac

and their application in the treat

Infectious diseases.
The use and manufacture of
drugs coming from natural

was the opinion of Dr. Harold "V. Stoke of the political science

In a recent report, Chauncey b.i

the courses and examination.
Larger numbers of them are inter

Engineer Discusses Present
Economic Muddle at

OUTLINES MACHINE AGE
Rugged Individualist Flayed
By Speaker as Devoid
Of Responsibility.
TVelatinar that the ruegei
individualist of the pnst is re
sponsible for tho ragged indi.
vidu.nl of today. Mr. Samuel
Wycr. consulting: engineer from
Columbus, O., discussed the pres
ent economic muddle at a student
World Forum luncheon at the
Grand hotel Wednesday. He out
lined briefly causes of the present
economic "depression and illus
trated his talk with a chart on
which the contributory factors
were listed.
Tracing the revolution of the
machine age back to the day when
James Watts invented the steam
engine, the speaker, who has ap
peared on several programs dur-
i ing his stav in the citv. outlined
the development of causative fac
tors, and pointed out how we are
today suffering from economic In
digestion and are afflicted with a
poor system of distribution. He
emphasized the point that w-e live
in a time of plenty rather than
scarcity.
Mr. Wyers declared that rugged
individualism, devoid of any feel
ing of social responsibility, along
with too much competition is a
large factor contributing to this
depression.
Other factors that he considered
of primary importance are lack of
co-operatk.n: numerous economic
delusions, such as the confusion of
debt and wealth, credit inflation,
dependence on government help,
and a mania for bigness; wealth
destruction. consequent dulled
moral s-nse, artificial stimulation
