THE 'IC H IGAN, DAILY Small Boys On Dusty Tank Supervise Cleaning Process Of Study Group Non-Resident Post Given To Professor Meecham For Summer Session Prof. J. Lloyd Meecham of the University of Texas will be one of the non-resident members of the faculty for the Institute of Latin American Studies 'to be held here during the Summer Session, Prof. Preston E. James, director of the Institute, announced yesterday. Professor Meecham, who has done graduate work in the Latin-American field, is a recognized authority on the governments of Latin America and their relationships with the United States. The purpose of the Institute will be threefold: to focus attention on a rela- tively undeveloped field of study by offering courses and seminars under a staff drawn from this country and' Latin America; to permit the expert to see the problem of Latin American study as a whole by attending lec- tures and discussions; and to afford all the participants the possibility of training in the Spanish and Portu- guese languages and literatures with a special stress on the development of the distinctly American forms of both. Marley To Mark Decade Olf Service The Rev. Harold P. Marley will mark his tenth year of service at the Unitarian church today with a ser- mon on, "Liberals, Today and Ten Years Ago," in which he will analyze the, "Reflection of the Cniversity Mind" as set up by a body of pro- fessors 10 years ago. During the decade he has been here, Reverend Marley has used his summer leave of absences to do social reconstruction work in the southern coal areas for the Friends' Service committee. Reverend Marley has served on the Community Fund{ board for four years! Cosmic Rays Are Discussed Aid In Investigating Matter Stressed By Anderson The study of cosmic rays has great- ly aided physicists in investigating the nature of matter, Prof. Carl An- derson, Nobel Prize winner from the California Institute of Technology, stated last night at a lecture spon- sored by Sigma Xi, honorary seien-+ tific society.- Cospiic ray research, Professor An- derson said, has given scientists a great deal of information about ele- mentary particles and it is hoped that they .will be equally useful in investigating distant stars and ne- bulae. Studies made on cosmic rays with the famous 200 inch Mt. Palomar telescope now under construction, Professor Anderson predicted, may bring to light many new facts about distant heavenly bodies. Professor Anderson pointed out the tremendous energy of cosmic ray par- ticles, which are 1,000 times as great as that of any other particle known to physicists. This large amount of energy enables the cosmic ray par- ticle to produce great changes in atoms. Upon striking an electron a new particle, the positron, may be created.

Lumilne Lamo Called Great Advance MOJUD Clari-phane Silk Stockings 1 U--- -- By KARL KESSLER The largest step forward in the field of illuminating engineering since the invention of the tungsten filia- ment lamp is the new "fluorescent lumiline" light recently placed on the market, Prof. Henry T. Higbie of the department of electrical engineer- ing stated yesterday. This new light tube is very similar in appearance to the older type "tube lights" in that it resembles a long frosted glass tube. Its construction HOSIERY "A TIMELY SUGGESTION" You may be the last word in fashion, You may be the most perfect in pose; But in this day and age you are never correct, If you fail to give thought to your hose. There's the one and two thread for evening, There's the three thread, just fine for teas; But for comfort and great satisfaction, The four threaded chiffonne will please. But perchance your hobby is hiking, Or on office may be your throne; There's a neat looking semi-service, That's a practical hose to own. Now remember your gown may be gorgeous, And your wrap as correct as they make; If you've failed in selections of hosiery, You have made a drastic mistake. -By Mrs. E. W. Reutter of the SMARTEST HOSIERY SHOPPE Michigan Theatre Building Featuring the famous Butterfly Top Hose-by Aberle and operation is, however, very dif- ferent., The great advantage of the new "tube" lies in its greater efficiency. That is, it gives much more light for the same expenditure of electrical power than the types of lights now in use. Contrasting the new "daylight lu- miline" with the incandescent day- light bulb, Professor Higbie cites several comparative figures. The or- dinary incandescent blue bulb has an efficiency of 4 to 8 lumens per watt, depending on the whiteness of its light, while that of the new tube is between 30 and 35 lumens per watt. Phenomenal as this increase may seem, Professor Higbie cautions, we are still far from perfection. The theoretically perfect lamp would give nearly 10 times as much light of com- parable quality per watt. Other out- standing advantages of the new bulb are its smaller heat radiation and its lower brightness. The new tube generates only one- half as much heat for the same amount of light as an ordinary bulb, and of this heat, 60 per cent is dis- sipated close to the lamp. Thus the amount of heat radiated to the surroundings is about 25 per cent of that from a tungsten filament bulb delivering the same light illumina- tion. The even distribution of light over the entire surface of the tube pro- duces an agreeable appearance to the eyes. With no single point of high brilliancy, the light does not blind the eyes, and obviates the need for the enclosing globe that is often necessary with present bulbs to low- er the point intensity of the light. This results in a further saving of light. The new lamp, Professor fig- bie paints out, is also less subject to flickering than the older incandes- cent filiament lamp. The uses of the new tubes are va- ried. The many hues and shades of color available lend themselves well to the requirements of interior dec- orators. They have a great advan- tage over incandescent lamps for DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 2) dents: The Iowa Emergency Relief Administration sends word that they would like to make contact with the students from that State who might be eligible upon graduation for a po- sition in Social Work in Iowa.

The public is cor- dially invited. such purposes, Professor Higbie indi- cates, in that the new tubes can be made to generate only the particular color desired, whereas present colored lights generate all colors and those not desired have to be filtered out, with a corresponding loss of effi- ciency. In the home, the daylight variety is well adapted for use as a study lamp or for room illumination, as it gives the nearest approach to na- tural daylight of any lamp in use today. The principle of operation of the fluorescent lumiline is very different from any other lamp in use today. The light source is a mixture of argon gas and mercury vapor. When excit- ed by an electric current, this gives off some visible light, but much more in the invisible ultra-violet spec- trum. The inside surface of the tube is coated with fluorescent and phosphorescent substances which convert these invisible ultra-violet radiations into visible light of a color depending upon the nature of the substance used.
