It sure is a good thing this kind of gas isn't as high as flivver gas. This flivver would not run if it was. Don't think we're out of gas just because we said something about the weather. By the way, wasn't the weather ideal last Tuesday when some of us arrived back after the holidays? Very ideal for homesickness and want-t9 go-backness. "Connor is dissipating to night." "What's he doing?" "Taking in a movie." Kirkley ('20, recently mar ried) : "And so you're the new maid. Has my wife told you your principal duty here?" Good-looking Maid: "Yes, I am always to keep out of your way." "A man of letters, isn't he?" "Sure. Runs a thriving mail order business." McGowan (to bell hop): "Here, I don't want you. I rang once twice." Hop: "Oh, I thought you rang twice once." She: "It's hard to be under stood." Foy: "It is evident that you don't call up central very of ten." Prof. Snowden (in dining coach): "Say, waiter, what kind of chicken do you call this?" Waiter: "That's a Ply mouth Rock, I believe, sir." Prof. Snowden: "I'm glad' it has some claim to historic mention. I thought it was just an ordinary cobblestone." "Don't you believe in the Ten Commandments, then?" "No, I don't." "Not even the one about keeping the Sabbath?" ''Well, you're the very man I've been looking for to scrub out the canteen." Prof. Merriwether: "Can any one tell me of a greater power than a king?"

F THE trmffic policcrnan diu not hold up his hand and -control the automobiles and wagons and people there would be collisions, confusion, and but little progress in any direction. His business is to direct. The physicist who tries to obtain a vacuum that is nearly perfect has a problem somewhat like that of the traffic policeman. Air is composed of molecules- billions and billions of them flying about in all directions and often colliding. The physicist's pump is designed to make the molecules travel in one direction-out through the exhaust. The me'ecules are much too small to be seen even with a microscope, but the pump jogs them along and at least starts them in the right direction. A perfect vacuum would be one in which there is not a single free molecule. For over forty years scientists have been trying to pump and jog and herd more molecules out of vessels. There are s.ill in the best vacuum obtainable more molecules per cubic centimeter than there are people in the world, in othl,er words, about two billion. Whenever a new jogging device is invented, it becomes possible to eject a few million more molecules. The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company have spent years in trying to drive more and more molecules of air from containers. The chief purpose has bee-1 to study the effects obtained, as, for example, the boiling away of metals in a vacuum. This investigation of high vacua had unexpected results.
