after it was all over Captain Vic
Hansen and his colleagues trekked
back to Syracuse the victim of a start

avenged themselves with a :16-12.
Mu. Syracuse finished the season
with a record of twenty-one whis and

Encouraged by the successful re

Goode Invents Acid
Meter To Be Used
In Paper Industry
Demonstrating a new continuous,
automatic acid-meter, Dean, G. L.
Wendt, of • the School of Chemistry
and Physics, appeared before the
Technical Association of Pulp and
Paper industries in New York last
week. Ile also spoke at the Asso
ciation's banquet at the Iltdel Com
modore on "Cooperation between Un
iversities and Industries."
The device. which was perfeeted and
patented by K. H. Goode, of the client
istry department, does away with the
necessity of taking samples from
large vats and allowing them to cool
in order to test the acidity of the con
tents. The new meter is• run by el
ectricty and automatically dials the
amount of acid in any solution, thus
saving more than a half hour Cot
each test.
Air. Goode 's invention will be used
in the paper industry for the auto
matic control of water softening and
to maintain proper conditions in the
bleachers and beaters. It will be dis
tributed through the division of in
dustrial research of which Dean
Wendt is director.
