FROM ATOMS TO STARS Research at Bell Telephone Laboratories ranges from the ultimate structure of solids to the radio signals from outer space. Radio interference re- search created the new science of radio astronomy; research in solids produced the transistor and the Bell Solar Battery. Between atoms and stars lie great areas of effort and achieve- ment in physics, electronics, metallurgy, chemistry and bi- ology. Mechanical engineers visualize and design new de- vices. Mathematicians fore- shadow new communications techniques. Despite the diversity of their talents, Bell Laboratories scien- tists and engineers have much in common. A habit of team- work channels these talents into great advances, ‘These men have developed the world’s finest telephone system.

AC brings you oil filters that take out the dirt— not the DETERGENTS! Today's premium motor oils contain additives that keep engines clean by suspending carbon in the oil and holding it there instead of letting it deposit in hard form inside the en- gine. Oil companies also put in add: tives to increase the oil's viscosity range—pfotect your engine over greater ranges of temperature change. AC Oil Filters are so engineered as to take out harmful dirt, dust, grit, metal particles and still not remove or alter the valuable detergents. Al- ways say AC when you change your fileer—and, remember to change every 5000 miles! THIS AC PARALLEL FOLDING ALLOWS THIS EVENLY DEPOSITED SLUDGE AC Oil Filter inner construction is ingeniously designed to allow the filtered-out dirt to deposit evenly over the entire surface area. This is done by keeping the filter material in evenly-spaced parallel channels, as ag left, On the right you see filtered-out sludge evenly depositing on the full filtering area, so that for the full 5000 miles all the filtering area is kept in useful service. None is blocked off. There is no tendency to pocket — AC’s parallel construction assures uni- form rate of flow. You need this extra AC protection.

W. D, Brinckloe, USN, was in close touch with development of the Navy's new guided-missile cruisers. His article, “Guided Missiles Go to Sea,” on page 131 is based on his first-hand infor- mation and, to our knowledge, is the first full-length feature article to appear in print, on the subject. Captain Brinckloe, one of the Navy's youngest captains, was grad- uated from Annapolis in 1937 and in 1942 was graduated with top honors in engineer- ing from Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. He saw active duty in World War TI and in the Korean War when he was awarded the Bronze Star. The accompany- ing photograph shows him at his desk in Subie Bay, the Philippines where, as the commanding officer of ship-repair facilities, he is in charge of 2300 men in the South: east Asia area. To the Editor: When Phil McCafferty of Stanwood, Towa, sent us his story of “Model A on the Canal Beat,” on page 152 of this issue, he told us his brotier had more or less'en- joyed a wild ride on the “Jitney” in pursuit of the photographs that illustrate the piece. “They forgot to check the gas,” wrote McCafferty, “ané they ran out—right in the middle of 3000fooi tunnel!

The only question is—just how practical is it for you to train yourself adequately in Accounting through home study? And the answer lies in the LaSalle Problem Method. For this modern plan of training not only makes Accounting study at home thoroughly practical but makes it interesting as well. ‘And here’s how: You Learn by Doing Suppose it were your privilege every day to sit ia conference with the auditor of your company or the head of a successful accounting firm. Suppose every day he were to lay before you in systematic order the various problems he is compelled to solve, and were to explain co you the principles by which he solves them, Suppose that one by one you were to work those problems out—returning to him every day for counsel and assistance— Granted that privilege, surely your advancement would be far faster than that of the man who is com- pelled to pick up his knowledge by study of theory alone, Under the LaSalle Problem Method you pursue, to all intents and purposes, that identical plan, You ad- vance by solving problems. Only—instead of having at your command the counsel of a single individual—one accountant—you have hack of you the organized experience of a great business training institution, the authoritative find- ings of scores of able accounting specialists, the ac- tual procedure of the most successful accountants, ‘Thus—instead of fumbling and blundering—you are trained in the solving of the very problems you must face in the higher accounting positions or in an accounting practice of your own. Step by step, you work them out for yourself—until, at the end of your training, you have the kind of ability and experience for which business is willing and glad to pay real money. ‘One Out of Every 13 of All C.P.A’s Is LaSalle Trained If you want still more proof, remember that over 4,200 C.P.A.'s—one out of every 13 of all those in the United States who have passed the difficult examination for the C.P.A, Certificate—are LaSalle alumni, ‘And knowing these facts, ask yourself if there can be any further question about the practicability of this training for your-ask rather if the real question is not about the size of your own ambition and the quality of your decermination.

That thing is like no Model A I ever drove—it’s a monster in disguise!’ ” Five Tools in One A New York City high-school student has invented a drafting instrument that does the work of five other drawing tools. Lawrence Kalmis, 16, calls it the “K square.” It replaces the T square, the 30- SS 60-90-degree and the 45-90-degree triangles, the ruler and the protractor. Professional draftsmen say it's as accurate as the sep- arate tools. Larry took a standard T square, cut a half-inch slot down the middle of the arm and then designed a slide to fit into the slot. To the slide he attached an arm that is adjusted to any angle by a screw lock. e slide and short arm can be moved to any spot on the horizontal arm and locked in place, Larry plans to have the long hor- izontal arm marked off for lineal measure- ments. Right now, he's preparing plans to market the instrument.

The U. S. Patent Laws provide that any new and useful art, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may be patented if the act of invention is involved. Therefore, every inventor with a valuable invention should take advantage of the Patent Laws and proceed for patent protection in order to safeguard his rights. A patent gives the inventor the exclusive right to prevent others from making, using, or selling the invention claimed in the patent for a period of seventeen years. The Patent Laws were enacted for the benefit of the inventor to give him protection for the features of his invention which are patentable. These features must be properly and con- cisely set forth and claimed in a formal application for patent, in order to comply with the requirements of the Patent Laws. For that reason, unless the inventor is familiar with patent matters, he should engage a competent registered patent atiorney or agent to represent him. We are registered to practice before the U. S. Patent Office and are prepared to serve you in the handling of your patent matters.

The first step is to have a search made of the prior pertinent U. S. patents. If a report on this search indicates that the invention appears patentable you can apply for a patent, and the specifications and claims should be prepared. The firm of McMorrow, Berman & Davidson, with offices in Wash? ington, D. C., is qualified to take the necessary steps for you. We can make a preliminary search on your invention, advise you whether we think it can be patented, and prepare your application for patent. ‘Unless you are fully familiar with the U. S. Patent Laws, we recom: mend that you engage the services of a Registered Patent Attorney to protect your interests. The patent laws are your laws. A patent gives you the right to prevent others from making, using or selling the invention claimed in your patent for a pericd of 17 years. Use these patent laws for your protection. Investigate whether your invention can be patented. If you have what you believe to be an int vention, we suggest that you have this firm make a search for you: Send for a copy of our Patent Booklet entitled “How To Protect Your Invention,” containing in- formation about patent protection and patent procedure. Along with this we will also send you an “Invention Record” form, for your use in writing down and sketching details of your in- vention. We will mail them promptly. No obli- Gation, They are yours for the asking.
