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.

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. The average stay of ench
patient was three days and the long-

a pig could expect a little variety in
the food he was given, experts are
trying to find just the degree of fine
ness to which swine food should be
ground, and the pigs seem doomed
to a dreary round of sameness
Furthermore, the once popular di
version of guessing a\, the number of
diphtheria bacilli that were floating
about in one’s glass of milk threatens
to become entirely a thing of the
past Never a bacillus will enter a
home by way of the milk bottle if
the farm machinery department suc
ceeds in completing its projected elec
trically heated, sterilizing apparatus
for use at the farm.
The personal touch in agriculture
must go, too. For the busy research
ers have produced several acres of
potatoes, and several more of com,
entirely by machinery And the grim
shadow of doubt is being cast upon
the very sun, with tests being con
ducted at the College to determine
whether artifically cured hay is npt
superier. Time, and ‘the cows, will
tell.
And many a round, soul-satisfying
curse is to be left unsaid because of
now accessories to facilitate plowing
in stony ground .. . And silos are
to be filled entirely by machinery
. . . And milk is to be strictly pro
hibited from getting sour—if the ex
periments come out all right . . .
