FURTHER FULFILLMENT

IT is the aim of the Technology Christian Association "4to be of

practical service, to every student at the Institute, to help every

man live uip to the best that is in himr, and to help Technology

realize her highest ideals." In the past year we have witnessed

time and aga-in the association's realization of that aim. And now-

once more the T.C.A. is doing, a fine thing in carrying out its pur-

pose.

One sometimes wvondlers, here atthe Institute, just wshy it is that thepipe-lies seem so much in evidence

a.round the buildings. It is remark-Cable, when one comes to think of it,

how the pipe-lines were ever providedfor in th~e first place. Indeed, it re-

qluired the ingenuity of the combined

brains of the Major and Professor~Edward A. Miller to devise an effi-

cient system whereby one pipe could

be distinguished from another.Back in 1916, when colossal prob-

lems of building construction con-

fr onted the architects and engineers,a system had to be formulatedwhereby the gas pipe could be dis-

tinguished from the low suction pipes,

the low suction from the high, the

sulphuretted hydogen pipes from the

compressed ammonia, and this partic-

ular problem was solved by a uniquedevice.And moreover it was a simple de-

vice. It consisted merely in paintingthe pipes different colors to representtheir respective missions. The re-

sult was not an altogether aestheticone, for the laboratories appear to bedecorated in a rather poor modernis-tic style, and some pipe-lines looklike frozen zebras. Yet the fifty milesof pipes in the Institute Buildings arefool-proof, and there can be no mis-talke as t;o their identity.There are three kinds of water in

use at Technology, the amber fluidfromn the Charles River Basin, Avhicbselves the experimental laboratoryfor the vast quantities that it re-quires, the pipes of which are emer-ald green, the Cambridge domesticsupply in pipes of light blue, and thefiltered supply for drinking purposes.in light yellow.

Goingto take the pleasure and dropyou a few lines to say that my favoritetobacco is your Edgeworth. I havebeen a user of it for the last eightyears and find it's the only tobaccofor a real good smoke.

For the last five or six months Ihave been trying several other kindsbut I find Edgeworth is the onlytobacco for me.

If I am smoking any other brandmy wife will tell me, as sef likes thesmell of only Edgeworth. When I'msmoking others she opens all windowsand doors.

The reason for writing this letteris that I had a card party last night,and most all of the party asked mewhat kind of tobacco I used.

So I.told them Edgeworth.Yours very truly,

After being served with thesumptuous Prom dinner, the strainslof Reisman's melodies were heard inthe distance and the couples strolledAback to the Imperial Ballroom.

was the order of the evening andeveryone indulged himself in thismanner to the utmost. Since all thedances were conducted in programistyle the few stags there had very! little opportunity to "cut" but thisI did not seem to bother themn very'|much. As soon as the Prom Girl ar-rived on the floor it seemed that the| stags were the lucky ones of theievening as they were free to dance,with her. As a further honor to Miss|Walker the orchestra dedicated a'dance to her by playing that fasdi-nat-|ing little waltz, "Billie", the hit ofIthe musical comedy.|For four hours the revelers swayed

to the music of Reisman's orchestraand everyone seemed to enjoy them-selves to the utmost. A popular| feature of the dancing was the re-volving crystal on the ceiling fromwhich colored lights we're reflected ina myriad of twirling spots of colors.IAt four o'clock in the morning themusic ceased and the Junior

IPromenade of 1929 had passed intohistory.

In the final he gotoff to a bad start and took a forcedwide turn that put him in the back-ground for the rest of the race- Inthe 300 yard run none of the Engineersentered succeeded in qualifying forthe final, and in the 600 yard run thesame fate was in store. The Engineersentered in the field events of stand-ing broad jump and the shot put,likewise failed to place.
