i .EAER2gri'n, 5 PE Mildred Musselman facting as clerki- What can I do for you, Madam? Edythe Willard- Do you serve nuts here ? Mildred M.- We serve everybody. What do you want? Miss Williamson- Tell us something about Abraham Lincoln. Edythe Weber-- He was born in a log cabin which he helped his father build. PARATU5 Miss Ruddick- Who was it that laughed then ? Elsie Vingoe- Please Miss Ruddick, it was me, I was laughing up my sleeve and there was a hole in the elbow. P32321 If these jokes will not make you laugh put them in the stove and listen to them roar. -Gerry Schneider. f i ff llvl Hear ye not the hum of mighty working The Modern Aeroplane HE ae1'oplane of to-day is probably the most refined engineering structure of the time, and to the average per- son the principles of construction may appear to be very complicated. These, however, are not exactly new. A bridge builder thoroughly understands all the methods of bracing used. But a bridge, of course, is not required to be able to do a loop or dive through the air, and the strength required may be more easily calculated. If in an aeroplane the parts were made too strong and heavy, it would end up by being commer- cially impractical, and, if too light, would be very unsafe to operate, and therefore aeronautical engineers have to figure just the right proportion of strength to weight. Practically the machine has to be so designed that the load likely to be im- posed during flight is distributed evenly along the structure, and that where there is probably not much force acting on a certain spot, this must be made lighter than where a heavy load is applied, to keep the factor of safety the same in both places. Structural failure in an aeroplane is al- most unheard of to-day, and for a ship to lose a Wing after it has flown a consider- able time is not an indication of bad en- gineering, but of dreadful negligence in the maintenance of the craft. -H. Zinn, T 3. The Development of Television ELEVISION has made great strides during the past year. The early Tel- evision receivers used Scanning Discs of different sizes, whereas the present day receiver uses a Scanning Drum, which results in a more compact outfit. A Neon lamp is used to project the picture onto a ground glass screen in the following man- ner:- A magnifying lens at the back of the screen serves to enlarge the picture suffic- iently to be seen by four to eight people at a time, the Television signals are broadcast on a 'short' wave length so as 104 not to interfere with Broadcast stations as it requires a fairly broad wave band. To use a Television Receiver the Re- ceiver is first tuned in with the switch at the 'sound' position till the note is heard at its loudest, it is then switched over to the 'picture' position and the picture is framed by varying the speed of the motor. Television experimentation first began in July, 1925, when C. Francis Jenkins, who had experimented in Motion Picture projection, first sent Television pictures from his experimental station, W3XK, at Washington, D.C. -L OW 1

sem ..., Although those interested in Television had to build their own equipment their number has grown to about twenty thous- and at the begining of this year. To make Television really practical some means of transmitting two-dimen- sional pictures must be found. If three- dimensional transmission were discovered PAIATUS solid objects could be transmitted. Home Television is not likely to come within the next five years or so as there are so many difficulties to be overcome and the equipment now used is very ex- pensive. -I. Hollway, T 3E. Social Activities of T. 3 URING the past fall, a number of Weiner-roasts were organized, and staged at Bryden's farm. According to what we hear, they were a howling success. Of course, the presence of a number of girls from C2B, added greatly to the general enjoyment. Hot-dogs and marshmallows are apparently one of the weaknesses of T 3. With the coming of winter, the worries of school life, and exams. were forgotten long enough to enjoy a series of house- parties, arranged at the home of students of T3, and C2B. For the use of their homes on these occasions, we owe a vote of thanks to Mrs. Girvan, Mrs. Cullaton and Mrs. Hollway. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES T3 has contribvfted worthily to the major activities of the school this term. In the field of sports the form was well represented. With the Senior Rugby Squad we had none other than Jerry Hugo, holding up his position on the line. His six-foot frame, and his 150-lbs. of bone and muscle did not tend to weaken the strength of this department of the team. The Juniors, while they did not come out on top of their league, showed that they had the fighing spirit. A good per- centage of this team was from T 3. These were: Burden, Walker, Buchanan, Clark, Avison, and last, but not least, Sipes, the Blairitef' In the Glee Club operetta Buchanan is being given an opportunity to demonstrate his vocal powers. Other musically inclined pupils of the form are found occupying seats with the orchestra, in assembly, on Monday morn- ings. These are: Albert Bendus, Adam Bendus and Jim Girvan. vklkvk INTERFORM RUGBY T3 entered two teams in the Interform Series, one in the Junior League, and one in the Senior League. The winding up of the schedule found both of these teams in leading positions. llfflfif BASKETBALL It is planned to enter two teams in the Interform Basketball League, but, as the schedule has not yet been arranged, this is not certain. However, we are looking forward to a good season. 44822 TID-BITS AND T3 Bendus- Zinn just gave me a ticket for a lecture and I don't quite know what he means by it. Dunn- Why, what's the trouble? Bendus- The lecture is on fools, and on my ticket it says 'admit one'! 2295211 Newsboy- Great swindle, seventy-four victims. Mr. Stuart fbuys paper?- Hey! I can't see anything about a swindle. Newsb-oy- Great swindle. Seventy-five victims. 554-'F IN THE DIM FUTURE Mrs. Bendus fto Albertl- Now, look here, it was three o'clock in the morning when you came in the other night, and four in the morning when you came in last night, and if it's five o'clock to-mor- row morning when you come in to-night, you can sit up and let yourself in. 21 221 ii FIRST AID What is first aid? First aid is not a substitute for a doc- tor's skill and service. It is the treatment or attention given to a wound or injury as soon as possible after it occurs, while waiting for a doctor to come. The purpose of first aid is to save life and limb-to prevent infections and other serious complications. When applying first aid one must keep cool, or in other words not get excited. Supposing a person fractures a limb, a first aid student should immediately find a method to prevent the leg or arm being moved, by using splints and bandages in 106 U W I- JE s ft . GA'-T.ON'A
