Scientist in ‘Cold Storage 9 Phones His Findings, Spares His Fingers Mi jL- S- ■-M I ' ■H ft ftj^v#. .yv.fr ’’..J

Studying samples of glacial lee In a cold storage plant, Dr. Max Demorest could not make notes of his observations because his fingers quickly became too numb with cold to hold a pencil. Then he had a telephone Installed In his “Ice box laboratory." Now his wife writes his notes for him at home as he gives them to her over the wire, and his fingers—and here—are comfortably warm.

In a New Haven, Conn., cold storage plant, where the thermometer never goes higher than 15 degrees above aero, Dr. Max Demorest, a geologist at Yale University, is studying the crystalline structure and “flow*’ of glacial ice with the aid of a telephone. Last bummer Dr. Demorest carried on his research in a hut beside a glacier on Mount Ranier, Wash. He returned east with 350 pounds of the glacier and found the cold storage plant an almost ideal laboratory. There was just one catch. When Dr. Demorest tried to make notes

in his frigid workshop, his fingers quickly got numb. A telephone was the solution. At the other end of the line, in the comfort of her home, Mrs. Demorest records her husband’s dictated observations, and Dr. Demorest can keep his gloves on. Why should a geologist, whose general field of study is the history of the earth, particularly as recorded in rocks, be interested in glacial iceT Because, although glacial ice is a solid, it flows—although very slowly. Thus it affords scientists a comparison with the “flow’’ of rock? far underground. .

WAR BUDDIES MEET AGAIN ON SAME JOB AFTER 20 YEARS

A strange tale of how two World War buddies were re-uni'ted at the Kearny, N. J., works of the Western Electric Company twenty-one years after they first met was unfolded the other day when it was discovered that both were telephone men and both had been working in the same plant for eleven years without having met Still more odd was the fact that one of them believed all these years that the other was dead, for a letter written in France was returned to the sender marked “killed in action.” The characters in this strange beunion are John L. Huck and James B. McMurdo. They first met at Camp Humphries, Va., as enlisted men in the 102nd Engineers. They formed a

firm friendship, and, after being sent to Camp Merritt together, took ship for France aboard a transport with the rest of their regiment When Huck contracted influenza shortly after his arrival at Le Havre, they were separated, as McMurdo moved up to the front line trenches. When he was convalescing, Huck wrote McMurdo a long letter, and it wan this missive that was returned to him with the tragic “killed” line. One evening recently, while Huck was playing tennis with the champion Merchandise team on the Kearny Works courts, the paths of the two crossed. Although employed in the same telephone plant for eleven years, they never met because McMurdo’s assignment for the most part was to night duty. «
