"Interviewv- ing the Dean" by Harold C. Pease '29, was awarded second prize, five dollars. Honorable mention was given to Adolph H. Feibel '32. Rehearsals have been started on the prize winning skits and also on the chorus numbers. The stage department of Tech Show is working on the construction of a stage in Walker Gymnasium. The chorus numbers to be presented will be "Doin' the Pacoon," "There's a Rainbow Round My Shoulder," andI "Digga Digga Doo." These numbersl |will be given by the men who tookI Ipart in this year's Show. The casti Iin the skit "Subterfuge" will consistI |of Almer H. Orr, Jr., '31, George B.l IDennison Une, and Chindblom. Mar-I c el P. Aillery '31, William A. Kirk- patrick '32,.and Chindblom constitute |the cast of the second skit. The skits Iand dance numbers will be given at Iseven o'clock Saturday night as part |of the activity presentations in coxi- nection with Open House. Only Machine of Its Kind The centerless grinder, which is the only machine of its kind in the world, was made in Cincinnati and is now the 1 property of the Institute. This ma- |chine represents a revolutionary im- |provement in present methods of producing work of circular form in cross section. In the past it has been customary to produce such pieces of work by the center grinding method, in which the work had to be especial- ly prepared and held on the machine between centers during the grinding operation. As distinguished from center type machines, the modern centerless grinder comprises a high speed grind- ing wheel and an opposed slowly mov- ing regulating wheel, forming a grinding throat. A work rest suit- ably supports the work in this throat and the several parts are relatively ,adjustable for different sizes and varieties of work. The grinding wheel serves solely for grinding pur- poses, while the regulating wheel con- trols the speed of rotation of the work pieces as well as the feeding move- \ment. Angular displacement of the regulating wheel makes it possible to vary the feed of work through the I machine without changing the speed; of rotation. In combination with a device wbich automatically brings the work to the rest, such as a hopper Ifeed, grinding becomes automatic. New Steel Costs $500.00 A Pound The new cutting tool that vill be I demonstrated is destined to change our ideas as to what materials are machineable and which are not, ac- cording to a statement by Professor Robelrt IH. Smith. It is an alloy of tungsten, carbide, and cobalt. A tool made from this material and ground to an edge of about 90 degrees will ,cut a groove in an alundum wheel. Although possessing extreme hard- ness, it exhibits a toughness sufficient to prevent chipping when subjected to considerable abuse. At the present time the metal sells for $500;00 a pound.. The diamond is the hardest known substance with the sapphire next in order. This new alloy will scratch sapphire. It will cut threads in glass and will machine porcelain, manganese steel and many other materials which heretofore have been considered non- machinable or machinable only with difficulty. By actual performance it has been shown that it retains its hardness to a remarkable degree at bright heat. Highly abrasive materi- als such as bakelite and hard rubber have been machined with it at high speeds. The remarkable properties and the behavior of this alloy of tungsten, carbide, and cobalt warrant further study for many additional applications which have received little or no at- tention at the present time. Its great value as a cutting material has been proved and, as a consequence, it will find wide application in machinery. 1". A Record of Continuous News Service For 48 Years of M. 1. T.

Y~ungl AftainDREAMS THAT COME TRUEZ

I am sitting alone in my room tonight,Dreaming and smoking my old cob

pipe;I smoke and dream, and dream untilI get a plot, and get a thrill.I am in the writing game, you see;And the pipe-dreams softly bring to meScenes of carnage where the red blood

ran,And the dreams all come from a bright

Bl3ue can.It's just a can of Edgeworth-cut-Fragrant as flowers-sweet as a nut;Of all Fate's kindly gifts to manIs this gift of dreams from the bright

Blue can.I sit me down at eve, to smoke;And soon am wrapped in a magic cloak;It has banished trouble, it has ban-

ished pain,And the sad old world is young again.

"THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH"TO Coach Haines, his Varsity and Junior Varsity crews, themanagers and substitutes who made the trip to Annapolis, and

those who stayed at home to practice for next Saturday's regatta,we extend our thanks. Not just for winning a race and losing one,nor for defeating the Navy Varsity, although the last was -no smallaccomplishment, but for doing Technology a greater service thanmost of us will ever be able to do.

For manly years, Technology's athletic teams have been com-posed for the greater part of good athletes and good losers, and, assuch, have commanded respect and admiration. All too few havebeen the victorious teams. Only once in the past have we beenrepresented by an undefeated crew. Consequently, the defeat ofthe Navy resulted in more favorable publicity on the sports pa-gesof' the nation'than 'any other event within memory.

Since the cold order seems to be on the verge of tottering, itmay not be expecting too much to look forward to wvhole-heartedstudent support of crew and the other Spring sports. Last yearthere were signs of awakening interest, although most of us dis-guised our interest in such matters pretty thoroughly. An edi-torial plea in THE TECH for the revival of such antiquated no-tions as, personally thanking the individual crew members metwith the old characteristic indifference. Now that the ice isbroken, crew men may expect more than ahn occasional- timid smilefrom their classmates.

TECHNOLO)GY'S ANVIL CHORUS.MOST of us have a hearty dislike for the "'Our Alma Mater

Forever" type of school song. Almost instinctively we sneerat the mention of a college song-too much we are reminded of.'Dear Old Siwash" and the kind of songs with whi~ch many insti-tutions are inflicted. And yet, on the other hand, we all feel athrill when a stirring chorus such as the "Anvil Chorus'> from`II Trovatore" is played.

Realizing only too well this student opinion, the Prize SongCommittees of thle past years have found their task difficult.. Theyhave succeeded in stirring up interest in the contests, and tbhislast year particularly their efforts have been repaid. For withthe song by William T. Hedlunld '20, Technology has been theprivileged recipient of a fine composition.

It is called "The Forge" and has none of the bad featureswhich students disliked in other songs. Combining dignity anddepth of feeling with a catchy harmony, it should prove immenselypopular. In the opinion of the committee, it stood out in a classby itself among this year's entries, and they believe that when itis incorporated in the new song book which is to 'De published soon,Technology will verify their views.

It was some years ag~o that the then-existing boards of theMusical Clubs, Tech Show and THE TECH, as well as the AlumniAssociation, agreed to contribute fifty dollars apiece each year asa prize for a Technology Song. For incurring obligations for theirsuccessors, these men have been severely criticized. However, thisnew son should bring about complete exhoneration, because with-out a doubt this one composition makes the whole plan fullyworthwhile.

POOR MODERNSAN automobile is never so appreciated as the day after a Iona

hike. A -newspaper is never so welcomed as after a month'sisolation. The ten-tube radio set is never again as clear as it isthe first night after the crystal set is traded in.

It is contrast then, that deepens pleasure; and contrasts arebecoming less and less sharply drawn. As marvelous inventionsbecome daily routine, they become as matter of fact a part of livingas shoes or hats. Once having a telephone there is not muchdifference in telephoning twenty miles or two thousand: and oncehaving an automobile there is not so much difference 'between afour a'nd an eight-cylinder. The improvements in nearly everycase represent as great an effort as was expended on theoriginal invention, buat the public is unable to give the admiringand deep-felt appreciation which it accorded the originals. Thefirst inventions as a rufle actually relieved some physical hardship.Those that follow cannot of course repeat something already done,no matter how vastly they are beneficial.

Lieall excesses, an excess of marvelous inventions can dullthe senses--the sense of appreciation. "Poor Moderns" we are,for more 4End More is being handed to' us-and less and less are weenjoying our privileges.-

sion comne trueIn a part of Africa lit-lie known to the

whites, where obscure trails ran, CecilRhodes dared to envision a railroad. Helived to build it.

The railroad itself was part of a vasterdream, a dream of a far inland colony linkedfast to existing coast settlements by rail.and wire communication. And he livedto build Rhodesia.

FErst the dream, then the reality, is the

Last Saturday afternoon the Tech-nologY gym team journeyed to Dart-mouth to take part in the Juniorchampionships of the New EnglandIntercollegiate Gymnastic League.Only three colleges were representedin the meet, the other two beingDartmouth and Springfield. TheTechnology gymnasts took three firstplaces, and Dartmouth took three,making the final score of the meet,Dartmouth, 32; M.I.T., 26; Spring-field, 8.

Wells Wins High BarOn the high bar Wells again took

first place to give him 'his: thirdchampionship. He also holds theEastern Intercollegiate and the NewEngland Amateur championships inthis event. In this meet he also tookfourth place on the flying rings. Plattof Technology also scored in the highbar taking fourth place.

Fairchild took first place on theside horse by a safe margin in scoring.His work was far above par, andexcited quite a little commentamong the spectators of the meet.Knapp took third place in this eventfor Technology and Moore fifth. Moorefell off the horse on his last seriesand was thus put out of the runningfor the first place.

the race will be one of the hardestof the season. "Although I have agood crew this year, I think thePrinceton race will be the hardest ofthe season", remarked the famousCoach when asked about the comingevent.

Princeton Arrives FridayArriving Friday morning, the

Princeton crew will be taken to theboat house, where they will work outon the Charles before dinner. Afteran afternoon workout both crews willrest for the race the next day. Thefirst race will be between the 150pound crews at four o'clock, over the'new two -mile course which has beenlaid out for this season's races. At4:30, the J. V.'s will race over thesamei course, and at five the Varsitywvill meet Princeton for the finalevent in the dual meet.

Bad Day for J. V.'s"Although the J. V.'s lost by three

lengths, I believe it happened to beone of thes crew's off days, and I amquite prepared to see them row adifferent race next Saturday", saidBill Haines when asked about thedefeat of the light eight by the Navy.To prove his "point, Coach Hainesstated that he had seen them row in,much better time, and feels confidentthat they will give the light Princetoncrew a hard race this Saturday on theCharles.
