Masters of enameling on clay. Their gems of modeling covered with brilliant colors are unequaled today. And the gifted craftsmen of Venice and Limoges have left us superb proof of their ability to apply enamel to metal. Step by step the art has become a science. Better metal, better glazes, better methods, and better heat—electric heat. The glowing units of the electric fur nace give a heat t h at is perfectly uniform and constant, and there is no smoke to mar the glistening surface. With electric heat as an ally, manu facturers offer us today hundreds of well- finished products. Even an army of men using Delia Robbia's methods could not do this work at any cost. General Electric engineers have applied electric heating to processes used for bathtubs and jewelry, for cast iron and bread, for tool steel and glue pots. The G-E booklet "Electric Heat in Industry" describes the application and possible value of electric heat to any manufacturing business. 570-22B GENERAL ELECTRIC The M. S. C.

R. "Dutch" Oviatt, '16, of Bay City, one of Michigan's Mas ter Farmers, as sugar beet special ist on the staff of the College farm crops department, was announced last week. "Dutch" has been a leading sugar beet grower of the state and his appointment was made at the request of the grow ers and sugar beet companies. Oviatt estimates that the acreage of the 1927 crop in the state is 117,000 acres, making Michigan one of the three leading sugar beet states of the union. College ex perts are conducting experiments in order to discover methods for increasing the yield. An increase of slightly over a ton to the acre on all Michigan farms would mean added profit of $1,000,000 to the state.

Thompson, 13, is now stamping his "Con sulting E n g i n e e,r E l e c t r i c a l, Civil, Mechanical, Manila, P. I." Thompson has spent about twelve years in the employ of the Phillipine government. Start ing in as a teacher in their public schools he was soon transferred to the bureau of public works, where he became familiar with engineering problems of the islands. One of his jobs was to design and superintend the construction of a large pier in the harbor of Manila, where the largest pile driver in the world was used. A few months ago he entered the re contracting field on his own sources. One of the jobs he has completed was the driving of over 200 reinforced concrete piles, each being two feet square and no feet long. These were driven into the bottom of the ocean around one of the old piers. He is now putting a concrete floor on top of these piles, thus enlarging the pier. In the near future he will have the opportunity of bidding on the digging of a tun nel about six feet in diameter and one and a half miles long, and lin ing it with concrete, for the new Manila water supply. Thompson is a brother of Ellen Thompson, '14, who with her father lives at 604 W. Madison street, Lansing. Lately they have received several hundred bows as well as many baskets and novelties from Manila. La President Receives Belgium Medal President K. L.

In the gayest period of American Colonial days— a period famous for its colorful costumes — it is doubtful if any more liberal use was made of bright colors than is being made today. Not only are clothing fashions lavish in their colorings, but the new vogue extends ever to motor cars and to the very homes in which we live. The moment you enter the door of the well appointed home you are in a veritable realm of color. Beautiful, enticing home interiors, cheerful and restful, are the vogue today. For the living room, we are showing many new upholstered living- room groups, in a colorful display of attractive materials and all at especially interesting prices, made possible by our New Selling Policy which has definitely discontinued Clearance Sales.
