Why Is Iron Magnetic?
horse-shoe magnet: attracts a steel needle. But why?
We don’t know exactly, We do know that electricity
and magnetism are related.
In dynamos and motors we apply electro-magnetic effects.
All our power-stations, lighting systems, electric traction and
motor drives, even the ignition systems of our automobiles,
depend upon these magnetic effects which we use and do not
understand.
Perhaps if we understood them we could utilize them much
more efficiently. Perhaps we could discover combinations of
metals more magnetic than iron.
The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company
investigate magnetism by trying to find out more about elec-
trons and their arrangement in atoms.
X-rays have shown that cach iron atom consists of electrons
grouped around a central nucleus—like planets around an
infinitesimal sun. X-rays enable us to some extent to sce iro the
atom and may at last reveal to us what makes for magnetism.
This is research in pure science, and nothing else. Only thus
can real progress be made.
Studies of this kind are constantly resulting in minor iraprove-
ments. But some day a discovery may be made which will
enable a metallurgist to work out the formula for a magnetic
alloy which has not yet been cast, but which will surely have
the properties required. Such a result would be an achieve-
ment with tremendous possibilities. It would improve all
electric generators, motors, and magnetic devices.
In the meantime the continual improvement in electrical
machinery proceeds, in lesser steps. These summed up, con-
stitute the phenomenal progress experienced in the electrical
art during the past twenty-five years.

STUDENT ASSEMBLY
(Continued from page 2.)
Miss Baker, on the other hand,
said that this public denouncement
was one of the strongest asscts of
the system, She declared that it
would never be necessary to resort
to this drastic measure twice in the
same case as the student. would
cither .give up his cribbing or
change his college.
Miss Wilcox took issue with Mr.
MeCluer's statement that there was
not enough group spirit to put the
honor system through. She said
that if this spirit docs not now
exist, it would after the adoption
of the honor system. For a student
who cribs, lowers not only his own
morale, but the whole college
indard. Personal feelings for in-
lividuals should come second, then,
and love of fair play for State, first.
Miss Rice took a vote to see
whether the students desire to con-
tinue the discussion at another
forum. The majority voted in the
affirmative, A. committee com-

And those whom we wronged have

PICKING COTTON BY
ELECTRICITY
A device consisting of a farm
tor equipped with an electric
ator, is being sed suiccess-
filly in the northern cotton belt to
pick cotton with electricity’s aid.
Hollow flexible tubes reach out in
four directions from the tractor.
On the end of each is a set of re-
volving brushes encased in a small
frame, with, an opening about
eof a man’s double fists, and
suificiently large to take a boll of
cotton, The brushes are driven, by
an electric motor through a fle
drive shaft and revolve inwardly, or
toward each other. ‘This creates a
comb-like movement which pulls
the cotton from the plant the mo-
ment it comes in contact with the
brushes, Tt is then sucked up the
hollow tube and deposited in a re-
ceptacle carried on the tractor.
Tests have indicated that the new
electric cotton picker makes it pos-
sible for a person to gather from
400 to 700 pounds of cotton a day
