The cubist exhibit now at the Academy

M.[Cons to Carry Relief to France

Dollar Worth Sixtee Sixteen Francs

At the present rate of exchange, the
gift of a dollar to a French soldier means
a gift of 16 francs, more than three
times the usual rate of exchange, ac-
cording to Dr. Eunice M. Schenck, As-
sociate Professor of French, who hopes
that Bryn Mawr will raise a fund for
M. Louis Cons, Professor of French
here from 1911 to 1914, to take over to
France for refugee families. Miss
Schenck will forward all contributions
to M. Cons.

Monsieur and Madame Cons are sail-
ing in June to spend the summer in the
invaded districts of Fratice and Belgium
for reconstruction work. This will be
a continuation of the work that Mme.
Cons carried on throughout the war
with soldiers who were entirely cut off
from their families.

Greater X-ray Service—

IR years after the discovery of
X-rays it was evident that only

quantities impossible. The answer to
this problem was the Langmuir Con-





















intensive research could unfold their
real possibilities.

Meanwhile, scientists of the General
Electric Company developed the pro-
cess of making wrought tungsten.
This proved ideal as the target in X-ray
tubes and its use for this purpose soon
became universal.

Then further research resulted in fhe
development of an X-ray tube of a
radically new type — the Coolidge
Tube — with both electrodes of
wrought tungsten and containing the
highest attainable vacuum.

But the complication of high-vacuum
pumps made the new tube in large

To meet the need for simple X-ray

Laboratory developed the Self-Recti-

possible portable outfits at the front.
The latest X-ray outfit of this type
is so small] it can be taken conve-
niently to the home or to the bedside
in the hospital.

Thus the Research Laboratory of the
General Electric Company continues
to serve, that progress in things elec-
trical may continue for the good of
humanity.
