Demonstrate Smoke Ring Gun
Engine Students Dine
Smoke rings might knock the German Luftwaffe right out of the air!
That was one of the amazing theories propounded to School of Engineering students at the first of their several yearly banquets last night by Dr. Phillips Thomas, a research engineer for the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company
The banquet was held in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building.
Thomas presented a demonstration of modern achievements in scientific research as part of a banquet program devoted to the study of electrical engineering. Other banquets stressing work in various fields of engineering will be held throughout this school year.
After pointing out that common smoke rings many persons are able to blow with the smoke of cigars or cigarettes have some use as missiles. Thomas showed a device he had developed for the propulsion through the air of vortex rings similar to common smoke rings.
"Smoke Ring Gun"
His "smoke ring gun" consists of a cylindrical object with a funnel-shaped mouth and a diaphragm fitted to the back. Certain technical apparatus is contained inside the "gun".
in such a way that a blow struck on the diaphragm sends currents of air in vortex form for some distance.
The Westinghouse research expert used vortex rings sent from his gun to strike a movable paddle and cause a gong to ring.
He blew out candles with such accuracy that he was able to call his shots. He made clear, however, that the device was still only theoretical, could not be used to any great extent.
Other interesting demonstrations the engineer made concerned the lighting of the ocean for sea plane landing, methods for determining imperfections in steel bearings, the use of electric circuit breakers under conditions of extreme cold, and the use of metallic vapor lamps in many ways.
Thomas caused members of his audience to appear like "zombies" when he made the aqueous humor of their eyeballs become fluorescent on being exposed to ultra-violet rays.
The use of X-rays and other ray in micro-speed photography was examined. Ability to photograph
through several inches of solid steel was claimed.
Science Rivals Goldberg
Any doubts his hearers may have had regarding the foolishness of Rube Goldberg inventions was dispelled by Thomas when his demonstrations showed that modern science had succeeded in perfecting machines and devices for doing nearly everything under the sun. Without much of the Goldberg paraphernalia, however, the electrical wizard proved the success of the use of photo-electric cells in fire-fighting.
Guests at the banquet lecture included Gov. and Mrs. Payne H. Ratner and Lt. Gov. and Mrs. Carl E. Friend. Governor Ratner told assembled engineering students that "Engineers construct lasting and worthwhile things which demonstrate for years their service to humanity."
Musical Entertainment
John Cadden, senior engineer, played two numbers on the piano. A five-man quartet composed of faculty members of the School of Engineering sang songs glorifying the University. Prof. Joseph Wilkins, of the School of Fine Arts, also sang for the group, accompanied by Robert Glotzbach.
Richard Winslow, president of Tau Beta Pi, and Richard Lee, president of Sigma Tau, announced the names of junior and senior engineering students recently elected to those two engineering fraternities.
J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, served as toastmaster. He commended several students in the school for work they had done to make the event a success.
Bacteriologists Hear Technician
Mrs. Tom Hamilton of the Hixon Laboratories in Kansas City will speak to the Bacteriology Graduate seminar today at 4:30 in room 502 Snow hall. Mrs. Hamilton will speak on "The Effects of Sulfamido on Streptococci from Endo-carditis Cases." Sulfamido is a derivative of sulfanilamide.

Helen Pierson, fine arts freshman, will present a violin recital at the Lawrence Liberty Memorial High School at 8 p.m. tonight and which is open to the public.
Helen Pierson Gives Violin Recital At L.M.H.S. Tonight
The recital will be given in honor of Miss Pierson, who graduated from the school last year. She will be accompanied by the high school orchestra, under the direction of Oliver Hobbs, in one number. In her solo numbers Miss Pierson's accompanist will be Ethele Love, fine arts senior.

SUPERMAN LUGS---
When these nefarious activities have gone on for fourteen chapters, the Scorpion will be duly disposed of, the sinister ingenuue will land the poor kindly old repressed-looking scien-bloke who plays the lead and the tists will recover their formula for synthetic gin or whatever it was and will dash off to their laboratory to mix up a batch.
Without a doubt, this type of entertainment is frowned upon and condemned by all intelligent and educated people, but as for us, we can hardly wait for the next installment
