In the first issue the annual en gineer's Inspection tour made in April was described by R. Chester Feber, jr., who tells of the experi ences in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Gary. Because the national defense has made many aspects of the work of the engineers uncertain, A. L. Turner, now connected with the Northwestern Bell Telephone Co., asks the future engineers to use their best efforts to combat this problem in his article, "The Challenge to Engineers." The new field of industrial gas opened to engineers is outlined in an article by D. D. Williams, em ployed by the Gas Engineering Department of the Iowa-Nebraska "Light and Tower Co.

Kail T. Compton, president, told of current activities that are making MIT of "vital importance as a great national resource." Nearly 100 members of the teaching staff are working for the government on advisory or operat ing committees, their activities Tanging from technical service with the navy to improvement in cultural relations with South American republics. The institute is offering inten sive defense training courses. Compton explained that these are In addition to courses in naval tonstruction, naval engineering, meteorology and aeronautical en gineering which have been made available to army and navy men for years. Largest of the institute's activi ties in the defense field is its re search program. Compton said more than 70 individual projects are under way at MIT and that the research will cost at least $2, 000,000 this year. Justice Frederic R.

Simple hypochromic anemia has moved into the best of circles and is no respector of persons. Dr. Ruth Levcrton of the university college of agriculture told the American Dietetic association at their annual meeting this week in St. Louis. "From the tenements to Park avenue, it has placed if trade ranging in activity from critical prostration to animated bridge table chit-chat," said Dr. Lever ton. "It has not brought to science and the medical profession the spectular challenge and glamour of pernicious anemia but to the individual patient it has brought debility, discouragement and ex pense." Research in nutrition at the university, she related, has cen tered on the general nutritional status of college women as re lated to their dietary habits. Spe cial attention has been directed toward iron metabolism and blood studies. Guinea Pigs. The nroblem has been sd- proached from different angles in me researcn worK ana several au- ferent ctouds of vounc women have been used for subjects. The results all point to the same con clusion namely, that simple hypo- cnromic anemia is more unery 10 Conclave (Continued from Page 1.) th sneaker at the luncheon to be held in the Hotel Cornhusker.

These Williams, many important in dustrial uses of natural gas are found in Nebraska. He says in his article that many of the pacKing companies in Omaha and Lin coln use millions of cubic feet per year for the generation of their heat requirements. The present positions ana ad dresses of the engineers that graduated in June, 1941, are re ported on in this issue. Also three seniors in the engineering college who have distinguished themselves are discussed in an article by Nor ris E. Schick. A series of pictures entitled "Typical Views in a Modern Steel Mill" are in the issue. Various pictures of locomotives are shown under the caption "Streamlined Transportation." foods appear to be deciding fac tors in stimulating the body t efficient use of iron. "Therefore," concluded Dr. Le verton, " a well balanced optimujn diet for the treatment of neutri tional anemia in young women holds more promise for a per manent general improvement than iron medication." Reporter Snoops Backstage f To Find Paint-Covered Coeds By Mary Aileen Cochran. Paint besmeared girls wielding large brushes and slapping paint on huge frames of white canvas are one of the first of the amaz ing sights one sees behind the scenes at the University Theater. Surprising as it seems, these coeds, members of the stagecraft classes and new at this large scale art of painting, are converting blank drops into picturesque scenes for the coming play: "East Lynne." Max Whittaker, head cheer leader, has dropped his megaphone to stir up paint. He's working on what will eventually be an inte rior scene for a drawing room of the Gay Nineties period. A coed is busy pressing pants guady-checked pants for the hero of the melodrama. Bits of ruffles are lying around, and the workers are adding the last touches on the costumes they make themselves. A note of sophistication is struck as one spots the lorenette Mabel Jean Schmer is struggling with. Incongruity sneaks in this thoro oughly unwarlike scene when he super-snoop learns that students are even making the frill umbrel las, necessary for the atmosphere. Because of the present interna tional conditions it's now impos sible to buy these umbrellas, which are of the familiar, but now. few, "made in Japan" products. ,LUtt. 1 ;i 1 i .W V-4 '...kv.
