Radar, which is used to measure distances under conditions where other instruments fail, may be compared to an echo, only here the rebounding waves are radio, not sound waves. It was 22 years ago that the American radar was born. Two scientists, Dr. A. H. Taylor and Leo C. Young of the Naval Research Laboratory discovered that ultra high frequency waves bounce back from steel. Although short on funds, the research was continued by these and other pioneers. At the outbreak of the present war radar was per fected and mass production started. As an instrument of warfare this apparatus has been of such great value, military men claim that with out it the war may have been lost before it started. Ships caught in fogs or on a moonless night can determine the distance to enemy craft. Planes can get range for at tack in had weather. Submarines, particularly German ones, could be blown off the ocean when they ca'me up at night to recharge their bat tries. Eveni bomb)ing has b)eenf made more accurate through radar. But in peace too, radlar will play its part. By being able to dletect oncoming traini, railroad accidents will be cut dlown. Ships will enter harbors during fog or dlarkness without danger of hitting other ships. Even automobiles may some day be equippedl with radar which will detect for the driver obstrue tions when he cannot see them. Ice bergs wvill no longer be a hazard, high towers and wires no longer be a point of danger.

BumpingBeauties Beat Better But Firmer Figures Two puzzled coeds'stared at each other then at the ceiling. This busi ness of being the spread between two slices of bread had its doubt ful points. Sims second floor always did catch it from both directions, tho. Thump, thump, thump, and thump still shifted thru. Explanations of dancing, moving furniture or just plain cussinness couldn't be applied or defined to this noisc. It came under a com plete new classification. Dancing had more live rhythm than this thump. Furniture being moved always was louder and made squealing noise as it was hauled across the floor. This thump, proved too mdch for one coed. She popped out of bed and headed for the direction of the steps leading to Sims third. She had the constitutional privilege of defending her rights. Besides, there was a mystery to be solved. Her trip was a success from at least one angle for the riddle had been solved but the thump, thump ing still continued. "Well", asked the stay-behind roommate, "What's the solution Sherlock?" "Those nuts upstairs are taking exercise. TIhey told ime of a scieii tific method of bumping it off in six weeks. They just started to night !" "And," addedl the other girl gloomily, "We've got to take the b)umps ! Ah, What price beauty!" Today Is Last Day For Late Registration Today is tlie last (late for registra tiont.
