French declined last night to make any announcement on the situation, however, beyond admitting that he has received similar offers from several institutions. Arnold Horween '21, head Harvard coach, likewise was silent; his only statement was that "the coaching staff has not yet been selected." W. J. Bingham '16, director of athletics, could not be reached...
...committee, which is to take charge of receiving the lists and select a certain number of officials was then appointed. H. W. Clark '23, who called the meeting, was appointed chairman of the committee with C. P. Houston, Athletic Director at Tufts, and H. M. Gore, who holds a similar position at M. A. C., being the other two members...
...Margaret Livingston. ¶ In Beverly Hills Mabel Normand, sick with tuberculosis, was not told, for fear that she would worry, that her husband, Lew Cody, was also ill. In a San Bernardino health resort Cody, in bed with a nervous breakdown following influenza, was kept ignorant, for a similar reason, that there was anything the matter with his wife...
...properties of electrical insulation. As is well known, electrical engineering involves the use of three types of materials: conducting materials such as copper and aluminum; magnetic materials such as iron and steel from which magnets are made; and insulating materials such as rubber paper, cotton, oils, porcelain, and other similar materials which have the property of insulating the electric circuit. It is only by employing insulating materials that electric currents can be made to flow in the electric conductors. Otherwise, they would leak away, and it would therefore be difficult to transmit power any considerable distance...
...made in certain classes of insulating materials during the past few years. As a result, it has been possible to design overhead transmission lines to operate at 220,000 volts. Transformers are built to operate up to 500,000 volts. Furthermore, when lines, transformers, and generators, or switches and similar apparatus are put into service, it is almost safe to predict that they will operate indefinitely without electrical break-down, unless the insulation is damaged by some abnormal electrical surge such as lightning strokes, or high voltages induced in the system by short circuits, or arcing grounds. With underground cables...
