Smoking has always been taboo in the vicinity of lecture rooms, and other places of study regardless of the fire-proof nature of the buildings, Boughton stated.

Last week four great electric corporations - Siemens-Schuckert, German General Electric, Bergmann Electrical Co. and Brown Boveri-lent $12,000,000 cash to the German State Railways, to electrify roads in the south of Germany (particularly the Augsburg-Stuttgart line) and incidentally reduce unemployment by providing work for 10,000 men for a year and a half...

They are in no sense to be considered employment agencies, but they can render signal service by informing the young engineers of the conditions that govern both the practical features of the profession, and the geographical territories in which they wish to practice...
