The scene is one which inspires re-newed eongratulations to a communitywhose esthetic development is fast ap-pproaching the highest standards of Eu-ropean cities. To the east acress thebasin fringed b-y the trees of the park-way rises Beacon Hill with the crown-ing Stat e House and over and beyond itthe gray obelisk of the Custom Housetowver.

Just why the further shore of thebasin, originally a natural location forindustries, has been saved from occupa-tion by a vast row of structures of thatineleaantimodern factory type most peo-ple do not know, and the story is toolong to rehearse. Enough for the visi-tor that the sign of its.salvition is thenew Technology.

A race. on July 13th, with the WesL

crens in both events of the regatta.Lvnn Bloat Club at Lvnn, has been ar

ran-old wh ile others are pending withthe Farramlt and Union Boat clubs ofBoston. The members of the crew willmeet for practice this afternoon at 5o'clock. at the B. A. x. boathouse.

Practice has been held regularly or.the Clarles, but there has been a lack ofmen out. considering the large attend-

ance at the summer schools. Thejunior-freshmen, especiallv should showgreat interest in the practice, for it willhelp to prepare them for the Field Dayraces next fall. It has been decided to

count the crew race as five points in theField Day score because of the interestwhich \vas shown in that event lastyear.

The men who have shown the mostpromise for the crews so far are as fol-lowss: 1. R. WAe '21; 2, B. Sherman '19,3, J. Falkenberg '19; 4, M. Burroughs'20: 5 A.. Wason '20; 6, N. lMurdouzgh'19; , Anies '19; 8, P. Hackett '19;Cox., Felsenthal '21; or E. Smoley '19.Other nien echo have shown promise areD. Webster 119, and F. Weiskittel '19.

There are about fifteen men out forthe crew at present, but the manage.nlent expresses the hope to see moremen out at the next practice, as someintellsi\e work must be done for therace on the Fourth. Coach Stevens hasLiven considerable time to the crew andhas roullned it into pretty good shaps.

W IT H the coming of summer, most of the large educathonalinstitutions of the country either close their doors entirely ormaintain a few courses for the benefit of a small number of

studenlts. But, with the war conditions extant, the old routine has beenmaterially altered, inasmuch as now the halls of learning-are rivallingeach other in their attempts to serve the cause of democracy by provid-ing schools for training various branches of Government service, bothmilitary and civilian.

Foremost among these patriotic, and to say the least, extremelyuseful schools, is our own Institute of Technology, "first in war, firstin peace," first in all that is serviceable to humanity. There are atpresent ten Government schools at the Institute, not including theUnited States Reserve Officers' Training Corps courses which arecompulsory for all students, and which prepare them for commissionsin various branches of the Army. New- schools, new buildings, andnew men are continually making their appearance in the <Great WhiteCity on the Charles"; people daily remark that they do not under-stand how Technology has been able to cope with the unusual situationand provide necessities and comforts of life in addition to the intensivebut thorough technical training for which the Institute has been notedthrou-hout the fifty-seven years of its existence.

What is doing at the Institute this war-summer gives the passer-by on Harvard bridge a new incentive to survey patriotically as well'as with sense of esthetic gratification the long line of imposing build-ings which have been erected in the name of engineering science on theCambridge side of the Charles.

The charm of the esplanades on both the restful palaces of sa~e.itic lemairnsides of the river and of the fine sky- already ri!- Qf thyt air c& ne&eza thatline which the new Technolony makes, remains so long with may American.has by now become familiar to all New structures, now speak to the world ofEngland.

TECHNOLOGY FLYER SINKS AUJ-BOAT IN THE NORTH SEA

Aviators Recommended, for PromotionAfter First Success.

Twco Greater Boston boys, naval avia-tors, have been officially credited by tileBritish authorities in charge of the rec-ordls of the Royal Fly^ing Corps writhsinkino, German submarines by droppingdepth bombs awhile soaring in hydro-planes above the North sea.

Ensi-(n Henry T. Stanley, son of 11r.and Mirs. James H. S~tanle- of 20 Grey-stone Park, Lynn, and Ensign Paul Ivesof D:edham. Both have been recom-mended for promotion.

'"7ord of the success of the Bostonaviators was told by Mirs. Stanley. whoreceiv ed a brief miessage from h~er sonin Lehiclh he stated lie had been credtitedlwith a, submarine, as well as EnsignIves.

Ensign Stanley was one of the firstgraduates of the Technology -Naval Avi-ation School and has been in E~nalanelsince February.

Lt. HI. F. Fuller, stationed at the Na-v al Aviation School at the Institutestated he had heard that Ensign Stan-ley had aot a submarine. He said ll :xvas the first official report of one of thleformer Tech-nology cadets getting A --iibmtarine, although be tboulght it likzelythat others have been sunk by former-Institutse -students flying over the N~orthsea with English aviators.

Some lveeks agto there wxas an officialEnglish report that ten German sulo-marines had been sunk; in the Nortll seaby depth bomnbs dropped from hydro-planes. Mtrs. Stanley, from the da te otthis dispatch, and from the dates of mes-sages from her son, thinks that EnsignsStanley and Ives were amona the avia.tors who accounted for these siibnia-rines.

Ensign Stanley was educated at tlhe,'Lynn H~igh School and wlorked for S. PBassett & Co., Boston, as a bond sales-man. He enrolled in the TechinologyNaval Av~iation School in April, 1917,and after getting his ground work wcentSouth and learned to fly. He sailed forthe otlher side January 13, 1918.

He has been stationed with officers ofthe Royal Flying -Corps at various'stAnltions alongr the English coast, engagedin escorting convoys, hunting for -enemysubmarfines Rnd coastdefence work.

Ends Friday

The War Savings Stamp campaign hasscarcely seemed to be under way, yetthe last day has been fixed as Friday,June 28, and neither Technology's,-Massachusetts's nor America's quota1las reached the goal set by the FederalGovernment. 17h ether this slackneson the part of the people is due to;,he unwillingness to give, or whether·the cause is simply a lack of interestcan easily be determined by the resultsof the next few days' campaign. Theeause for which the War SavingsStamps are being issued must surely belooked upon as a worthy one, if thetestimony of the leaders of America isto be believed.

President Wilson says: "Thoughtlessexpenditures of money for non-essen-tials use up the labor of men, theproducts of the farm, mines, and fac-tories, and overburdens transportation,all of which iust be used to the ut-most and at their best for war pur-poses."

Sanluol rompers, head of the Ameri-ean Federation of Labor, says: "Dur-in--the time when we send our youngmen to the trenches to live a life that!rills flesh and nerve, let every man,-onian and ehild who is privileged to

remain in free America in physicalsafety count it a freeman's duty toeat simple food and conserve for ourArmy and our allies, to wear simpleclothes, to avoid unnecessary or unwiseexpenditures, that we may give to ourfihtiing men and the Government an(dlave resources for the constructive vorkof the country."

PATRIOTISM DEFINED.

rr RUE PATRIOTISAI is an essential virtue, a necessity, in fact,to Tech men today. It should be their lif e, body and soul. But-what is patriotism? Is it made tip of the statements of what

you weill do), or is it the proud plain-spoken result of what you havebeen doin- and have done for HU2MANITY? For patriotism, TRUEPATRIOTISiMl is the perfect answer to the call to duity. It is thatwhich responds to this call, and w^71ich wrilling~ly forces the body to doALL that is physically possble, in the the line in which it is best fitted,'because Somneone in authority, Someone who k~nowvs, commonds its,execution. It is the -lad adaption of one's whill to that of the govern-

maent (wahich is really the people), obeying the commands of that gov-ernment, because they are made for the good of that government, inorder that -overnment rniaht live.

Therefore, let us keep in mind Longfellowv's words:"Let us then be tip and doing,

W;ith a heart for any fate,Still achievring,, still pursuing,

Learn to Labor and to WVait.`and as ourselves, "Anm I a TRUE PATRIOT ?"

APOLOGY.The last twro issues of the TECH have contained in this column

editorials cr ticising the '-anagement of the WMalker Mernoiral. Theseeditorials were based upon the information from supposedly reliablesources, but it seems that the information was reliable only in part. Thefirst of the toro in which we argued that the dining service 'should be-rented to private parties for management contained the statements that-the electricity used for cooking was furnished free and that the cus-tom toc whichi the dining room operated was extremely fixed and stable.This -vas untrue. The Dining Service pays the Institute approximately'$goo a month for the electricity it uses, and its custom is subject tosevere fluctuations, due to the fact that liberty is sometimes grantedan entire fight of aviators wvithoLut sufficient warning, in which casethe food cook~ed for these men presents a problem. Elaborate pre-cautions 'however, are takien to prevent waste as far as possible. Ac-curate daily reports of the number and character of meals served eachday are submitted and the data thus collected is used to determine thenumber of meals to be prepared.

The second editorial stated that the scale of prices at the Walkerbad forced the N~avy Department to raise the mess allowance of theNaval Aviators. This is not true. The mess allowance of the NavalAviators is adequate and has not been raised. That it is sufficient for-the needs of the men is showvn by the fact that upon leaving, the mentcarry with then* from ten to fifty dollars apiece, obtained by cashing-untised meal books.

Also statement wvas made regarding an endowment that the In-stitute hadl available for making good any deficit incurred by theDining Service. This proves to be a myth. On the contrary, as shownby the Treasurer's report, the Instittue was obliged to borrow heavilvto complete the Walker -Memorial and its equipment.

Down in the North End the Italians have raised a banner, stat-ing, "We lead the world in sales of W. S. S." Either these people aremore patriotic than the average Technology man, or else they havethe advantage of money invested in this way. It's up to you to de-ade. Anyway, we would ;advise you to. have a few quarters handy onJune 28. We have an idea tha~t a lot of tfX are going to enlist in theW. S. S. army on that dav.

Between these buildinas itssurface lately levelled and prepared, isone of the drill fields for several thou-sanld mlene. 13elind tile Memorial are thefences enclosing the tennis courts, andbed ond are the dormitories housing agoodly share of the 600 regular studentsre-istered for study in the summerseholl-.

One is almost at a loss where to at-tack this story of the patriotic and use-ful service of Techmolog", for the linesof this service have been Xvery diverseTlle first principle in the whole matteris that modern war utilizes every re-

soreof engrineering, and scientifiekrnowvled-~e. This war is in fact. as JohnRitellie, Jr., Director of the Institute'snews service, has brought out, the mosttremendous engineering problem thatthiis earth has ever seen.

"'Teclinology"' says M~r. Ritchie, "hasbeen teachinfg engineering f or the pastfifty years, and has been a mlost imlpor.tant factor in tie, qdvance of mtnehodsof teadiinm. The demands of engin-eering include flexibility, for no one

Technology Always ReadyH1ow years of preparation hav~e found

'First the call wvas for a school for military aviators.f

In twvo 'week~s this xvas ready for stul-dents. Barracks were required; and atonce civil engineering (rave up its mu-seuin and library room, its larvae audi-torium and its drauahtincr room,- spllen-.did halls looking out upon the bridgr&and the river.

WELCOME TO OUR MIDST

THE TECHr is in receipt of the firstissue of the Alma Mater, the newmonthly publication of the AmericanlTUniv~ersit~y C-l-ub of China, publ-sished

Mlay- 6, 1918, and sent by William A.("Happy") Adams, who weas graduatedfroln Technology in civil engineeringJ with the Class of 1908. Adams is nowin the real estate and bllildin(Y businesswith the China Realty Company ofSliancrlbai, in which city the Union islocated.. He is active 'in the Union, be-ino, on its executive committee and alsoone of the editors of the Alma Mater.From the latter we learn that the mem-bership in the club has grown from 204to 350 during the year, which is an in-dication of the rapid growth of Ameri-ean interests in Chlina and of the con-

qtqantlv increasing number -of Chinesewho have been educated1 in Americaand are returning to China for their-life,or -r. The great increase in mnember~ship is also an indication- that Americanbusiness, educational, -missionary, medi-cal and other interests are seeina theimportance of sending specially trainednlen to the foreign field. This is amatter of great importance if Americais to hold her own in the field of -world7activities and reconstruction that is tofollowv the war. China is now sendingmore than 100 of her best young, menand wromen to the United States each,vear for educations, so, it is but fitting-ndl proper that America should recipro-eate bvr sending men to wrark in Chinnof equal educations andI abilities.

FREE MARINE ENGIVEERcINGSCHOOL WIIIL OPE:N JUCLY

Perhaps the most remarkable thingis the "business as usual"' part of theprogram The fundamental purpose for

- ~~~~which the Instit ute was established, to- ~~~make c~ompeeit enodneers out of prom-

ising, material, has not thus far beenneglected. All these items of co-oper-ation w^ith Uncle Sam that have beennamed may be termed extra duty; andcarrying this load of instruction wvork

F ~~the Institute has not for-otten its dutytowards its own reg-ular students.

Thus it has maintained its registra,- ~~~~tion, thuls it began its year with a loss

in-the student body of only ten per cent.against fifty to sixty in other colleges,and thuls it has just given degrees Z to

- ~~~~275 Seniors, or eighty per cent. of thenormal number. It has speeded up itsFourses so that half of these men werein the country's service six months ago,and has so arranged its courses that its

W. S. S. CAMPAIGN

(Continued from page 1)

Theodo-re Roosevelt says: "Of courseth~e primary factor in deciding this warAd and will be the Army. But there canbe no great army in wvar today unless agreat Nation stands back Qf it. Tielnost important of all our needs is im-mensely to atrn~agthen the fighting, lineat the front. But it cannot be perma-nsently strengthened unless the wholeNation is organized back of the front.

- , ~~We need increa sed production by all.We need thrift and the avoidance ofextravagance and of waste of moneyupon non-essentials by all. We -needthe investment of our money in Gov-

-ernment securities by all of us."~The Government, through the war-

'savings campaign, offers the opportuni-- ~~~ty to every individual in the Nation to

join in a great national movement tok ~~~seeure theste ends. This is the people's

way. The responsibility for the Gov-ernment rests on the people as a whole'.The- Army is the people's Army. It canbcf spported only if the people investin, the securities of the Government, andtaxis investment by the people should beas nearly universal as possible. All the

WHAT IS A CALORIE?Since food conservation has' become 'a

vital factor in carrying on our 'waragainst Germany, the layman has en-cotstered in his reading the new--wordcalorie.~ -This -word, which formerly ap-peared only in scientific journals, nowjumps at once from the daily papers,from the magazines, agricultural andtrade press. In a way, the Food Admin-istration is partly responsible for theincreased use of the wvord, anld, as a re-sult, has received letters from all partsof the country asking, "What dis a ca-lorie ?" Some people have gone so faras to suggest that it is the name of anew breakfast food, while in one in-stance, inquirer stated that he hadheard it was a new type of explosivediscovered by the War Department, andwanted to know what the Food Admin-istration. had to do with it.

When fuel is thrown on a fire undera boiler, heat is produced. This heat isrequired in order that the engine mayperform its work. To do work of anykind requires energy. Food used orburned in the human machine prodU~eeenergy to maintain the normal heat ofthe body and to do its work. Workdone by the body comprises not onlythat which requires muscular or mentalexertion, but also involuntary exertionsuch aIs the beating of the heart, the ex-pansion of the lungs. etc. The chemical.process within the body which trans-forms our food into energy is similar innature to the process which takes placewhen fuel is burned over fire-though,in the bodyr, the burning takes placevery slowly and in every tissue, insteadof in one central place. The value offood is determined by the amount of en-ergy it yields to the body; and it alsohas a building, and regulating function.

It was necessary that a unit be es-tablished for measuring tht amount ofheat produced when food was complete-ly burned. The unit chosen or univer-sally adopted as the unit for measuringfuel value or energy value for anykind of food is called the calorie. Itrepresents the same principle in measur-ing as the inch or foot, the unit ofmeasuring length; the pint or gallon,the unit of volume;. and the ounce orpound, that of' weight.

-The calorie is the amount of heat re-quired. to raise the temperature of 1kilogram of wvater I decree C., or Ipound of wvater approximately 4 degreesF. Our requirements of food, so faras the amount is concerned can there-fore be expressed in the'. number ofcalories needed for each p e on per day.It must rot be forgotten that the en-lories must be derived from tie proper-kinds of food.
