Germany even returned the compliment: she sent France iron and steel and magnetos for gasoline engines.

S. will suffer directly or indirectly. At any rate, if nothing...
Through work on a book on Engineering Materials, with chapters on Testing machines; iron--gray, malleable, wrought, alloy; carbon and alloy steels; heat treating; non-ferrous metals and alloys; copper, tin, nickel, lead, zinc, aluminum, etc., I have come in contact with many products and processes. In spite of the depression, there is marked activity in research work, and as there is activity in this field, then this is the one to train students to enter, instead of in the already overcrowded ones...
