ALTERNATIVE WORK
ON SHOW TO SENIORS
An announcement made Wednesday
by J. V, Pennington ot the M, E. de-
partment faculty seemed to indicate
that members of the engineering fac-
ulty are at last willing to acknowl-
edge the benefits of engineering
shows to students and allow credit
for work done on the shows by stu-
dents.
Members of tin- senior M. K. class
were given the alternative by Mr.
Pennington of making eight pages of
complete detail drawings of ti jib
crane or of submitting a design of an
exhibit for the coming show. The
M. E.'s huve been feverishly active
on show exhibit designs «lnce the an-
nouncement.
Tteeognitlon of the value of show
work to students has long been de-
sired by members of the engineering
schools. Students feel that training
and experience gained In show activ-
ities far surpass what would be
learned In class and laboratory work
during the same length of time. The
refusal of the engineering fneulty to
consider show activities in grading
has been a very serious handicap,
some students being forced to take
an extra year in order to receive a
degree after preparing various exhib-
its for past, shows, It Is hoped that
al last tills difficulty has been re-
moved. for Its banishment will cei\
taihly mean increased benefits lo the
students concerned.

VALK COMPLIMENTS
New Haven, March 12.—Commend-
ing the Harvard Criiuaon upon ita
move to Intereat American colleges in
the prohibition Issue, the Yale Daily
News, In an editorial today, declared
ita intention to compile figures allow-
ing the extent of drinking lu the col-
lege world.
Although stating that college men
can do very little to repeal the eight-
eenth amendment, the Yale editors
agreed that "a valuable contribution
to the issue" could bo made by re-
vealing the extent ot drinking in col-
lege circles.

personnel, Including class Duchesses
ami Maids will be selected at a mass
meeting of all Rice co-ets in the
Physics Amphitheatre next Friday at
1 p. m. The Woman's Council at its
next meeting will select the made
contingent to the May Fete activities,
the May Kink, two Princes anil the
class Dukes. This will be the first
time In the history of Rice May Fetes
In which Princes have been given a
part.
In meeting yesterday the Woman's
Council chose Harold Braun as Jester,
New developments In the May Fete
plans were announced by the Wom-
an's Council following Its meeting
yesterday. A Colonial scheme Is to be
followed throughout the affair. An
old Colonial house will torn the back-
ground tor the Queen** court, and all
participants will be attired in Colonial

Harnessing Niagara Falls
to the washing machine
Cheaper power! Groping after this modern
touchstone to wealth, deluded inventors slaved
over perpetual motion machines,.. informed
"inventors evolved the turbine. ..broad visioned
men harnessed the rush of waters... engineers
raised pressures and temperatures to produce
more power without corrrtponding increases
of cost.
While, step by step, this progress has taken
place, the many men who have contributed to
it could not know what far-reaching results it
would have. Now the ultimate boons grow
clear. Water power development becomes a
national policy, steam bids fair to rival water
power for cheapness, economically produced
power brings more plentiful goods,lights houses
and hauls crowds in cities, is carried to rural
sections to lift washday drudgery from farm
women's shoulders.
Among the many industrial victories that are
behind this revolution, none is more important
than wider knowledge of piping materials and
better materials. One of the highly prized
chapters of our history is the contribution that
Crane research and valve engineering has made
to the general advance. The results of this
research are embodied in a Crane book. Pioneer-
ing in Science. It is a fascinating story of engi-
neering development and a valuable reference
work for engineering students. A request will
bring you a copy.
