FIRE INSPECTORSSE~E RE~AL BLAZE

Two-Alarm D~hraws Studgents]From Insu~rance Co~mpanyg

Laboratories

Fiire PIrotection Eng-neerin- stu-dents were rewarded %vithaatwo-alarmfire in the high business district ofBoston which came as an unexpectedibut welcome incident in tile course ofail inspection ti'ip WVednesday after-noon. The class was treated with thespectacle of the Boston Fire Depart-mient in. full action at a very sniokyand somewhat menacing blaze in theuppert floor of the Wetmore SavageCompany Building.

Of keen interest was thle attempt ofa well meaning police officer to oustfoi'mer Chief of the Fire DepartmentSeninott fi'om a stirategic positionwithin the fire lines. Cliief Sennottwent unrecognized without his helmetand uniform, even by those men whohad seen him in action hundreds oftimes at fires in this same distirict.

Study Laboratory MethodsIncluded in the tour were the

laboratories and the Yarious divisionsof the Inspection Department of theAssociated Factoiry m~utual Fii'e Insur-ance Companies building in Fort HillSqunare. After witnessing a number ofdemonstrations of test methods for de--tectin-g flammable vapors, for studyingdust explosions, rating fuses, andciircuit br·eakers, the class was treat-ed to the actual blaze just a shortdistance away.

Previous trips earlier in the termto the Fire Alarm H-eadquarters ontile Fenway and to the Broadway Sta-tion of the Fiile Department hadyielded eithier spectacular or of moreinterest than the routine work. or-dinar'ily in order. To see $10,000wortht of niater'ial go up in smoke af-ter witilessing the progress in theapplication of modern physics andchemistry to the pi'evention of fil'ewas judged to be not only a summa-tion of tile course, but as ail impr~es-sive example of the need of the wor~k.

Soon after the crowd had brokelnaway from the auto of the colored~people, the riot squad arrived in 2patrol wagon, a taxi and two motor-cycles. The policemen forced thecrowd onto the sidewalk and thereescorted them to Harvard Bridge.

After the procession crossed thebridge the suggestion arose to crashthe skating rink situated above thjeCoop. This was attempted in half-

Day In1 1926

(Continu~ed frown Pag~e Onze)word was passed around that a manhad been arrested and was at the po-lice station, whereupon the mob pro-ceeded to the station house and as-sembled on the steps of the building.After a considerable discussion withthe officers the procession continuedtoward Harvard Square leaving oneman in the toils of the law.

Rush the SubwayAs they reached Harvard Square

a few members suggested a -ride onthe subway to Boston. Accordinglythe entire crowd "crashed" the sta-tion, boarding a Boston bound trainand filling its cars completely. AtPark Street the crow d went aboveground, marching down TremontStreet to Boylston and up Boylstonto the Rogers Building, whlere theyassembled around the steps andljoined in cheers.

From Rogers the procession movedup Boylston to Huntington Avenue.Tile suggestion tllen arose to visitthe Tent, a dance llall. This was im-inediately taken up by the crowd andthe procession movred up Hunting tonAvenue finally reaching the Tent. Ap-parently a small group of men pushedthlemselv es into the building andreached the dance floor where theygave a fewl short clleers. Tllis groulpwas then driven out by the attelldalltsand police.

Repulsed by PoliceThe crowd waitin-b outside, seeing

their comrades ill treated immediate-ly rushed the doorway and jammedthe lobby. The police and attendantsonce more joined forces and again at-tempted to dirve the crowd out. Therulsh was so sudcdell that some of theglass doors were broken. In thefracas that ensued many chairs and I

tables were damaged and tapestriesand chandeliers were ill treated.

After leaving the Tent the crowdwent up to the Opera House andturned about, starting down Massachu-s~etts Avenue toward the Institute.

~When opposite Westland Avenue, asedan, probably a Buick, containing acolored man and woman drove towardthe vanguard of the crowd. The carwas stopped and one of the menopened the door to waX n the driver.The car, however, started up sudden-ly, and the door, being open, hit theman above the eye, cutting his fore-head badly and knocking him intothe street. The car then got awayfrom the crowd and continued downHuntington Avenue.

Cries of "Stop the Car" resoundedand immediately the crowd gavrechase. They caught up to it as it wasbeing held up by traffic and imme-diately surrounded it. The rear num-ber and the distributor were rippedoff. Angry calls from the crowd wereaimed at the occupants, but the pas-sengers were not r emoved from the

LITERARY SUPPLEMENTLATE last December, THE TECH published its first "BooksLand Features" supplement. Appar ently this departur e

from the regular run of material found in this paper was ap-preciated by the student body, ford in the ensuing weeks wereceived many helpful comments and suggestions. Althoughit has been our wish to offer this supplement more often, wehave found it impossible to prepare more than one a ter mif it is to be all that we would expect in a literary supplement.

With this issue, our last before Commencement, we areinserting a second "Books and Featur es" supplement, withthe view of offering, if possible, a selection of publicationsthat may be read during the summer vacation. Theworks reviewed are not confined to ally particular subject;rather, they are selected primarily for their diversification andwider interests. As our main treatise, we have chosen Pro-fessor Rogers' "How to bce Interesting," not only because it isthe publication of a Faculty member, but also because thework itself is one which should interest a large -number ofreaders. In addition Professor Rogers has been kind enoughto gather a list of books recommended for summer reading.

It has been suggested that we flatter the average Tech-nology student in assuming that he is interested in the bettertypes of modern literature, that he is interested in thingswhich he believes above history, biography, poetry or fiction.Were this condition true it would, indeed, be deplorable, butwe feel assured that the Illstitute student is not so much the"brown-bagger" type as he is reputed to be.

With this thought in mind, then, we have published oursecond literary supplement. It, is our hope that we are meet-ing a popular demand, and that our readers will feel free tosend in their every criticism and suggestion as to the selectionand arrangement of the contents.

EXAM1INATION.WITH this issue, this paper ceases active publication untilWV the regular issue ill honor of Commencement, June 9.

We have all uratched with no small amount of anticipationthe approach of final examinations, but none of us appreciatethis rapid courlse as much as those members of the studentbody who literally feart the trial.

Time and time again wre have commented upon the exami-nation system employed at the Institute, and as many times

wve have demanded that somethin- be done about the stoolsand benches in the examination rooms. As to the latter, ourplea seems to go unheeded, bult there alre indications that

wre may be able to make an impression as to our attitude onthe former. With thle cuinuluative lrsting sy-stenil, the -finalexamination takes on new significance, and becomes all the

maor'C de'--rrninil- of ourl finn-1 gradesf n.W~e do -not pr opose to discuss her e the prloblem of fair

examination-the mratter has -stuniped! the gravr est of phillos-ophers. Our plea is this-that someday wve be allo0R\ved anmuch fairer chailce to prepar-e for these examilations. In aprev~ious issue axle deplored the fact that final tests begindirectly following the closing of classes, leav-int- -no timewhatsoever for reviexav. W~hy must this handicap be placediUpon those members of 'he studcent body who rightly deserve

a thorouogh review? W~hy must the Facullty assumne that themajority of students need no reviewe at- all?

it whould be most appropriate ilf, at the beginning of thef all term, thle aulthor itiecs reconsider the schedulle, and ar-range for a new progr am of term final examinations, onethat is f airer to the men who must take them. At present,wve must meet the condition, and do the best that we are

allowaed.

ELECTIONS AND PROMOTIONSVOLUME LI of THE TECH announces with pleasure the

v following elections and promotions:Paul Cohen '34, and David Horvitz '34 to the position of

Features Writers.David A. Robbins '34 to the Photographic staff.It is with deep regret that this volume announces the resig-

Plans Call For Expenditureof $2,280,000 to Make

Roads and Fill

No longer will Tecllnology studentsw ho use Harvard Bridge, have to en-1dan-er themselves ill the heavy traf-flc wshen cr'ossin-, M~emorial Drive ifplans materialize which are in thehands of the Metropolitan ParkCommission.

Inceluded in the planls for the devel-opment of the Charles River Basin isa proposal psrovidling for the buildingof an undeltpass ill Memorial Driv>e atthe Cambridge end of Harv ardBridge. Thle heavy trafficl over thebridge will be greatly speedele up, andstudents will no longer be able tocomplain that they were late b~ec~ausethe stop-light was against theml.

To Spend $2.280,000It is planned by Boston and several

adjoilling cities to spend~ $2,280,000 forimproving the Basin. Of this sum.$1,000,000 was given lay Mirs. James J.Storrowv. In 1929 an ac(t wvas passedproviding for thle dlevelopmlenlt of theBasinl for reel eationlal purposes, buttsince then there has lbeesl a colitro-versy relative to the -filling of theRasin.

At the several heal ilgs scores ofpeople attended, sonle favoriolg a dleepfill anal others opposillg it. Ullder the1929 bill the lill was to be a linii-luni~lof 255 feet. A 1lew bill has beens re-poirted by the legislative committeeon metropolitan affairs, which leavesto the discretion of the Collllissiolltlae amouant of fillingg and wvidenlingto be (lone.

If eloulglniloney is left, ;it is also, plannled toextendl the river road through Galen]Street, Watertown.

Tile state departmlellt of publicworks is authorized to acquire onl be-half of the Comlnion,,vealth land frollt-Ing on the Charles River and theNashua Street ex;tensioll between Lev-erett Street and thle Bostonl andM~aine's new electric substation, andthe land b~ounded 1)x Leverett, Br igh-tOnl, anal Lowell Streets andl theNashua Street extension.s

Prizes For ArticlesTomorrow

Prcsentation of the prize offered byDr. Samuel Stratton for the best stu-dent papers offered during the yearwill be made on Tuesday afternoon inRoom 10-275 at five o'clock. Tlheprize is offered with the idea of stim-ulating student interest in a phase ofthe techiical societies that is gener-ally overlooked in an undergraduateorganization. The papers were des-ignated to be of such nature thatthey might be presented on occasionsas graduation day exercises.

Four papers have been chosen forthe final competition. After preliii-inary grading and elimination in thevarious societies of the Combinel Pro-fessional Societies. Tle winner ofthe Electrical Society competition wasKenlletl J. Germeshausen, '31, whowrote on "Illumination and Color."The Plysical Society papers, presentedby Meir Hershtenkorn, is called "AnIntroduction to the Quantum Theory."The Mining Society paper is on "IronOre Reserves" and will lbe given byLeland E. Gibbs, '`1. Thei e will alsobe a paper presented from the Sedg-wick Biological Society on "Fatiguein Inlustry."

The prizes will le dliided amongthe three best papers offered; the firstprize being $50.

gasted. Here Voo Doo had a chanceto put out a red-hot number at theend of the year. right when the boardswill probably get kicked out anyway,and they did what . . . well, you guess.That's right. Muffed it.

It took all the imagination of theLoun-er's virtuous mind to even thinkup a double meaning for most of thejokes. And the cat, perhaps he isonly a kitten now that he's in his sec-ond clildlood, has lost all his old-time vigor. WhIy, Swllen Phosploruswas still young, anl the Lounger vasyounger than he is nov, there wereVoo Doo's so clear that even theLounger could see the meaning. It'sa sad world: no hot Voo Doo's, noFilter Paper, and no riots.

And they called it a riot. We oughtto be ashamed. Calling that tame lit-tle playing a riot. We believe lie wasr ight wvlen a Tech official called it"Tle Boston Post Riot." It was alla newspapel fighlt, to see which onecould give it the biggest hleads. TheLomll-er declares it a tie with theTraveler and the Globe winning by anose.

The Lounger is getting old, andsuch trifles as a few measly examin-ations shouldn't trouble him in theleast, but on the contrary, he's al-most as excited as the greenest fresh-man; but why shouldn't he beexams come but twice a year and theyare one of the very few things fromwhich this old fogy still gets a thrill.Well . . . he's in for one BIG thrillthis spring.

And speaking of exams brings tomind the tale told by an instructorabout the boys out at Harvard whowere taking his course in psychologyand learned about the fatigue stuntwhere one's average goes up whenlhe is working. They stai ted out ona wild bender to get up their energyfor the exams and then trotted intothe room and pulled down good

2, grades.By long experience, the Lounger

has found that it doesn't pay to goto bed early before exams; he has to

vork hard and long before the trials,especially as his mind will be divertedI y those damnably uncomfortabledesks in the drawing rooms.

Be it idle rumor or not, tle Loungerlhas heard it from various sources thatSammy was up in 3-440 just alookin'round. And the informant said thatlie was looking at those desks prettyhard. Perhaps there is salvation insiglht after all.

But just to make sure that some-thing will be done, the Lounger here-by and forthwith proposes that theentire faculty, corporation, and money-bag tenders be given al exam up inone of those rooms. Results-whyyou have never seen actions such aswould be produced by such a tling.

The Lo-tnger ]las in his time heardsome pretty broad statements madeby members of this august body which

;ki daily inflicts itself upon the lefense-less student, but one of the worse,

Fin o1' perhaps best, that lie had heard ina long time came from a very digni-j fied member, class of 'S1 to be ex-

f}act.It seems that the said faculty was

giving the boys a very learned dis-cussion on tle uses of shellac, varnish,etc. Well, he pops up witl somethingabout using shellac for straw hats,but that was all right. Tle worst;came when lie said that they used thestuff to paint candy to protect it fromthe weather. And after all the Christ-mas candy that the Lounger has con-sunied in his time, why hie must be |pl etically embalmed witl shellac on;the inside.

Flrom anotilel, soul'e, and Lbis one ieannot be doubted. the Lounger learnsthat the boys up in 1-235 almost wentinto a dead faint the other lay vllen"Ross" Tucker lrubbed off the boardall assignment for another plate. Itis rumored, but not confilmed, thatthose same boys lave some prelini-inalry sketches for Iwemarkllable con-struction they are going to (lo if they,ever finish at this man's institution.If you don't believe it, go up and see;the Loungere onlv lhopes that theyCan I-et out Avithoutl being forciblylejectedl. !
