Just before returning home for the Christmas vacation, the members of the class of 1919 of the Academy vot- ed to erect a gateway at the Logan street entrance to the Academy cam- pus similar to the one which the class that graduated last June desires to erect at the main entrance to the grounds on Bishop street. As soon as the class of 1918 is granted the permission to build the memorial they so thoughtfully and generously plan- ned, forthwith will the class of 1919 appeal to the council for the same privilege and make their preparations financially and otherwise to carry out their wishes. The Academy boys come from many sections of the coun- try where stately and imposing gate- | ways add beauty to large estates, or | the grounds of educational institu- tions. : They appreciate what the historic |! Academy has done for them, and | therefore are willing to spend their: good money to make the environment | of our local school as attractive as | possible. | They know that what makes the Academy more attractive makes Bellefonte more attractive, that what | will bring more business to the Acad- | emy will bring more business to the! town, and they feel, therefore, that the public spirited citizens of the community will commend their in- terest in the community’s welfare, and place no obstacles in the way of | improvements that will mean so much to the town. | The citizens will appreciate the fact | that in the coming years a considera- hind by the graduating classes to be expended in improvements for the Academy property, provided the first effort ever put forth by a graduating | class of this institution along this line ! is not unreasonably and unnecessarily frustrated. ! Mr. McCargar and Miss Ollie: Mitchell have heartily approved of the improvement which the class of | 1919 desires to make near their prop- | erties at the Logan street entrance. With the aerial mail service in reg- ular operation and the new peniten- | tiary completed, thousands of tour- | ists will visit Bellefonte in the future : years to inspect these improvements, | and the imposing entrances contem- | plated for the Academy grounds, if | erected, cannot fail to call their at- tention to this time honored institu- tion. It is hoped that work can begin on the gateways this coming spring and be completed for the opening of the fall term in September, 1919. The sentiment of the class of 1918 in desiring to inaugurate a series of class memorial gifts to the Academy in the year celebrating the fiftieth an- niversary of Rev. James P. Hughes’ connection with that institution was a beautiful one and worthy of en- couragement. State College Graduate Invents Valu- able Ordnance. In recognition of his achievements as an inventor of valuable ordnance equipment for the army, Lieut. Col. Wallace L. Clay, a graduate of The Pennsylvania State College, of the class of 1909, has been promoted to his present rank from a first lieuten- ant in one year. He is now chief of the Frankford aresnal laboratories in Philadelphia, where he is in charge of all experimental work for the United States army ordnance department. Colonel Clay perfected the armor- piercing tracer bullet, as well as the incendiary bullet, both of which gave the allied forces marked advantage of their adversaries in the war. The ef- ficiency of these types of missiles is said to have been far superior to any- thing of that nature developed by the Germans. Entente airmen found them of invaluable service in driving the Hun aviators from the skies. Government ordnance experts have hailed with acclaim Colonel Clay’s in- vention of a three-inch illuminating shell. They assert that this shell when exploded will illuminate an area of ten square miles. Colonel Clay, who is only thirty- one years old, was graduated from the State College in the electrical course. The average sized Alaska wal- rus is as big as an ox and often weighs more than a ton. A walrus was recently killed by some whalers near Point Barrow whose head weigh- ed 80 pounds, and skin, including flip- pers, 500 pounds. The animal had a girth of 14 feet, the skin was from half an inch to three inches in thick- ness, and the blubber weighed 50 ! with braid, : tulle and ribbon. | cessful. pounds. ; and capes, built on loose hanging lines and tapering slightly at the bottom. Short, loose hanging, boxy models, | ) cording or embroidery trimming, will be pouplar suits. Oth- ers are more simple of outline and will be worn with white or colored vests or vestees. The skirts for spring will be built . on youthful lines, not too tight and having the appearance of tapering at the foot-line. : There is a strong feeling among those who should know that lingerie dresses and dresses on the lingerie or- der will be much smarter the coming : seasen than frocks on the sport order. For midseason wear under the fur coat dresses of velvet and georgette combinations are in splendid taste and are decidedly the vogue. The all-lace frock is a prediction for spring—made over a silk or geor- gette slip. Voiles and organdies and handker- chief linens have been used extensive- ly for southern wear frocks, both in colors and in white. Very dainty and youthful are din- ner or informal dance frocks made of : Figured ribbons are used for girdles and sashes. A smart new style is the slip-on blouse with apron front, adorned with darling little pockets and wrist-length bishop sleeves set into large armholes. A narrow sash girdle holds the blouse in about the waist. There is much debating as to whether or not the tunic blouse will ' be a favorited this spring. Some of . the smartest blouses are made with tunics, so it would seem a matter to be settled by the demand of well- dressed women. In lingerie blouses the sailor type of collar has given way to narrow shawl and surplice collars, very slightly rolled at the back. Other col- lars are narrow at the back and over the shoulders but widen into flat jabot effects at the front. Nattier blue crepe de chene, em- i broidered in white Angora wool, is | the effective combination of a charm- {ing apron tunic blouse recently i brought over from Paris. Russian blouses with high collars and apron fronts that give a vest ef- ect when worn with tailored suits are a recent ' importation for early spring wear. These blouses are in ble amount of money will be left be- : Jich au) eolops ul brocades and simi- © most, effective with sui strictly tailo s of dark mater- ials. Filet in white and ecru, baby Irish crochet and walenciennes in narrow widths are all used extensively on lin- gerie blouses for spring, and in most models are combined with hand em- broidery. Silk-lined silk gloves are excellent for midwinter wear—especially to the woman who carries a muff. These Lary McAdoo, Man of Achievement. There is, of course, food for conjec- ture in every move of national inter- est which one of William Gibbs Me- Adoo’s prominence in American pub- lic affairs may make. Since he re- quested President Wilson to relieve him of the Secretaryship of the Treas- and of the Director-Generalship of Railroads, the talk of his retire- ment has served, however, to point attention afresh to his achievements as a man of action, 2 man of affairs, the eyes of the public by successes in the world of finance and in the realm of rail transportation even before he was ever generally thought of as a . possible factor in matters of politics and government, And of Mr. McAdoo it may truly be said that he has served the country, since he entered the Wilson Cabinet, in 1913, in the capacity of a citizen devoted to the welfare of the country, rather than as one who had either personal or political aims in view. It is no disparagement, either of his chief or of any of his associates, to say that there has Teen no harder worker in the govermment than he. Hard work came natural to him. He began as a small boy by helping his mother wash the family dishes, in the humble home left to” them after Sher- man’s march to the sea. “General Sherman was a bit careless with fire,” he once said in some remarks dealing with his youth, “and was never popu- lar in Georgia, but I believe I owe him a debt of gratitude. Hardships, suf- fering, and poverty, are character builders, and whatever such traits I may have developed I attribute in a large measure to the conditions fore- ed upon Georgia by Sherman.” His father, William G. McAdoo, was a veteran of the Mexican war and a Confederate soldier, 2 man who had occupied a place on the bench, been a distiict attorney, aud also a professor of English and of history in the University of "Tennessee; but the lot of the son £e1l upon one of the most dismal periods in the history of the South, a period irr which the DMe- Adoos, in common with their neigh- bors, lost practicallyy all the worldly goods they had ever possessed. The boy entered the University of Tennes- see at sixteen, but could not command the means of finishing his course. Yet, if without money, he was neith- er without native ability nor without pluck. At nineteen he was deputy clerk of the United States court for his district, and, while serving in this capacity, studied law and was admit- ted to the bar. Soon he became a legal adviser in corporation business, making import- ant connections with banking and railroad business; bought and manag- ed traction lines, established himself in partnership with another William McAdoo, not a relative, in New York city; organized the Hudson River er was revision of the tariff. In both cases, Mr. McAdoo was of the great- est service to the Administration and to Congress. He is credited with hav- ing been largely instrumental in the foundation of the Federal Reserve Bank System, in itself a gigantic un- dertaking. He it was who prepared the Income Tax Law, and who, tak- ing matters in his own hands, placed requisite funds in the banks of the West and the South to facilitate the movement of crops at a time when the great producing interests of the nation were threatened with panic. He brought about better financial re- lations with the South American re- publics, and, four days after the Eu- ropean war started, asked and obtain- ed legislation to relieve the conse- quent money strain by the issuance i of $500,000,000 of emergency curren- The Liberty loans, the advance of | billions of dollars to the allied na- | tions, the financing of the United States during the most costly of its wars, and the taking over of the rail- roads and their operation under his direction are incidents in Mr. Mec- Adoo’s history that are familiar to everybody. Whether he is going out of public life for good, or only that he may perhaps return later, the fact remains that, among all the men of achievement America has produced, he is one of the most remarkable. — Christian Science Monitor. Seme Interesting Army Details. Since the great war began, an add- ed interest has been awakened in all facts relating to the army and army life. Doubtless many of you, espe- cially those who have big brothers or other relatives or friends in the serv- ice, have often wondered as to the rel- ative strength of various army units and the rank of various officers. In answer to numerous inquiries of this sort, an officer . at Camp Sherman, Ohio; recently gave out the following information: An army corps consists of 60,000 men. An infantry division, 19,000 men. An infantry brigade, 7,000. A regiment of infantry, 3,000. A battalion, 1,000. A company, 250. A platoon, 60. A corporal’s squad, 11. A field battery, 195. A firing squad, 20. A supply train, 283. A machine gun battalion, 296. An engineer's regiment, 1,098. An ambulance company, 66 A medicine attachment, 13 men. A major-general commands the field army and also each army corps.

Two of the bulletins published by the Department of Agriculture deal with popcorn. Bulletin No. 554 treats of popcorn for the market and No. | 553 of popcorn for the home. In these pamphlets a plea is made for the more general growing of pop-: corn, not only because of the profits that accrue from it, but because of | | its food value. The statement is made | that “besides being a source of enter- tainment for the children, popcorn : has considerable value as food, and’ when properly prepared for the ta-! ble is superior to many of the break- | fast foods now on the market.” The corn in right condition for pop- : ping, must have a hot fire, otherwise the popping process will not be suc- | There are several excellent | poppers on the market, but if one is | not at hand, a common iron skillet, provided with a tin cover, will answer admirably. It is a good plan to add | a little butter while popping when a skillet is used. ia Do not make the mistake of putting | too much corn in the popper; just enough to all but cover the bottom of : the popper is the right amount. When the corn is in the popper, hold the utensil high enough above the. fire or heat so that the kernels will: not scorch. If the heat is right, the | corn should pop in a minute and a | half. If it pops more quickly, the; corn will not be so crisp and flaky as | it should be. Care must be taken not | to let the flame touch “he corn, for if | it does the corn will not be white. A | pint of unpopped corn should yield | from 15 to 20 pints when popped. | If the corn is to be eaten immedi- | ately on being opped, sprinkle it | with salt and melted butter. ; If the popped corn is run through | a food chopper it is delicious in des- serts. A cupful of the fine popped corn added to chocolate blanc mange | in the making will be found excellent. | Less cornstarch or one less egg 1s needed when the popped corn will | serve to thicken the dessert. | Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge.— —Put two cupfulls of sugar, two squares of unsweetened chocolate and | one cupful of top milk (the first pour- ing from a quart bottle) in a sauce- pan.
