New Edition Published A new edition of the book, “Temperature Measurement,” written by Dr. Robert L. Weber, instructor in physics, has just been published. The book has been called “the most up-to-date survey” of the subject since the Bureau of Standards’ “Pyromet ric Practice,” published in 1921. fluctuations of voting opinion during the intervening intensive campaign. The accuracy of the survey depends upon so many factors that the author makes no claim as to its reliability. A similar poll, however, was taken at the University of Texas last year and the results deviated only two per cent from the actual balloting re turns. It is recognized that voting in national elections is considerably affected by climatic and weatner conditions such as temperature, sky aspect, and especially rain.

PRICE THREE CENTS 3 Town Merchants File Complaint Bill By STANLEY J. POKEMPNER A temporary injunction re straining the borough council and Burgess Wilbur F. Leitzell from enforcing the ordinance abolishing the bus stop on Col lege Avenue was decreed by Judge Ivan Walker in the Centre County Court of Common Pleas in Beliefonte yesterday. The injunction was issued fol lowing the filing of a bill of complaint by J. C. Harper, Frank L. Holmes, and R. J. Kennard, all State College businessmen. Claiming that the ordinance, passed by council and approved by Leitzell, prohibiting the Col lege Avenue bus stop “causes extreme irreparable damage to the public in general,” the plain tiffs asked Judge Walker to issue an injunction restraining the borough from enforcing the ordi nance. Within 30 days, the seven councilmen and Leitzell are re quired to enter a full and com plete answer to every complaint in the. bill, which was filed in equity. After this has been filed in Bellefonte, Judge Walker will set a time and place for a hear ing. A new ordinance repealing the old law, which forced the buses to begin using the N. Atherton Street terminal last Thursday, was passed last week by council and now awaits Leitzell’s ap proval or veto. The plaintiffs stated the fol lowing reasons in asking for a preliminary and perpetual in junction: 1. The College Avenue bus stop afforded the maximum de gree of convenience to students, residents, and visitors of the borough. 2. State College is hot acces sible by railroad for passengers. 3. Incidentals for passengers’ convenience are located on Col lege Avenue. 4. Traffic conditions on Col lege Avenue are not such as to make prohibition of temporary bus stops a proper exercise of police power. 5. Enforcement of the ori nance is “unduly oppressive upon the individual public.” Geissinger, Fickes Head Engineering Open House The third annual Engineering Open House on Saturday, March will be headed by Co-chair men Richard M.
