Tuesday* Sejitembet 29, .193^ StiffARTEVOLVES ; ADTO REFRIGERANT Rrbfessor of M. E. Department kinds Pooling System in Intake Manifold That a basic system of refrigeration • exists in the intake manifold of every 'nutomobile is the finding established by ■ experiments carried on in the median i ical engineering laboratories by Prof. - Frederick C. Stewart of the median ical engineering department. Theoretically this system could be . converted into a simple cooler for food and drink. Professor Stewart has pointed out The refrigerant is in the form of fuel on its way to the engine, he said. In'the regular mechanical refriger ator there is a chamber where atmos pheric pressure is reduced and a par tial vacuum created. The refriger ant boils more readily in this subnor mal pressure m much the same man ner that water boils quicker at high altitude than at low. In the ordinary refrigerating sys tem the refrigerant absorbs heat from its surroundings while boiling and thus produces coolness The pump necessary'to. draw off the vapoi pro duced by boiling and force it into a condenser is provided by the engine itself in an automobile. Engine Provides Pump Each stroke of the automobile’s pis ton which draws new fuel into the engine reduces the pressure in the gasoline line, particularly in the in take manifold. In this manner the gasoline ‘Bolls more readily. , In accordance with refrigeration principles, the intake manifold should be cold. Experiments proved that it is cold, and that in summer temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees the intake mani fold is at about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. . Professor Stewart suggests that this could bo'used as a useful cooler for automobiles. He would detour some of the fuel on its way to the engine and use it os a refrigerant for a cooling unit to a small refrigerator in the car. To allow for continuous vaporiza tion he would draw the air for the carburetor through the cooling unit. A highly volatile fuel would ho re quired, Professor Stewart says, in order to keep the refrigerator at about fifty degrees temperature in r, warm weather. j ! MURPHY PREPARES BULLETIN i!

ULRICH, Ageht Machine May Soot] Reduce Bootleg XZorh Borers Throughout Country Those stiirdy miniftns of the law who now slow the wheels of progress and, pleasure on our roads for the purpose of putting a stop fo the ne farious trade in bootleg corn borers may soon be displaced by a machine. No longer does there exist that fine faith in the, yistinct of fair play of the aforementioned insects, the trusv that they will cease to travel on the exact date that those college boys who wore the uniforms and asked the questions this summer returned to school. Farm machinery experts of the! College have come to the realization that the corn borer doesn’t play fair and,have ruthlessly gone to work de signing a machine whereby whole families of the little creatures will be destroyed in the com fields, with out even giving them time to reach the highway and try to sneak past the vigilant officers. Not content with this attempt to reduce the joie dc vivre of the Com monwealth, the agricultural mechan ics are busy fabricating an appara tus by which they hope to take the down-trodden vegetable gardener off his hands and knees, wipe the perspir ation from his brow, set him on a metal seat and watch him drive away. Even the pigs, it appears, can not escape the modernizing influence. In stead of the old fashioned way, when Dispensary Gives Treatments For 18,000 Students Over 18,000 treatments were given in the dispensary in Old Main and 435 patients were treated in the Col lege infirmary last year, Dr Jo seph H Ritenour, College physician, made known yesterday in his annual report. The dispensary issued 2,918 excuses for a total of 16,588 class hours dur ing the year, the average excuse amounting to five and one-half hours. Corysea, or cold m the head, was the most common ailment treated, with a total of 2,409 cases for the College session Patients treated in the infirmary included 136 freshmen, 95 sopho mores, 92 juniors, 68 seniors, 41 graduate students and three special students, with the total number of days spent in the hospital amounting to 1,590.
