tives.

Delicious and Refreshing
Pause
that refreshes
When you suffer from large and undiluted
doses of your fellows, when the milk of
human kindness seems to sour. Blow the
whistle for a minute's "time out" on your
own account, to pause and refresh yourself.
In other words, go into a huddle with a
class or bottle of refreshing, delicious
Coca.Colu. It will make you captain of
your soul again, ready to live—or die—
for the dear old alma mater.

123,000 tests a year
In the Crane testing laboratories, the
weight arm of a specially designed ma-
chine measures the steadily increasing
load suspended from a small cylinder of
metal. Watching it intently is a man who
has at his command instruments that
measure to .00005 °^an 'nch- The cylin-
der begins to yield; he notes the weight.
It snaps; he notes the weight. Disen-
gaging it, he measures the stretch and
diameter at the breaking point. These
tests form a part of the 123,000 determi-
nations Crane Co. makes on its own ma-
terials every year.
63,000 of the tests are chemical; not one
component from pig iron to limestone
flux is charged in a Crane melting furnace
whose suitability has not been determined
by analysis. 60,000 are physical; not
one hour's melt is drawn ofF in a Crane
foundry whose physical properties—ten-
sile, transverse, and torsional strengths,
yield point, breaking point, elongation,
and reduction of area are not known.
By such exhaustive tests and by re-
searches of scientists in Crane laboratories,
a vast body of authoritative data on metals
and their properties has been collected.
It is embodied in a book, "Pioneering in
Science," which is an invaluable reference
book for students. On request, we will
send it to you.
