Publicity The letter printed in
Campaign this issue, from a
former president of
the Press Club here at Penn State,
strikes the keynote in the problem
of bringing news to the attention of
outside readers. It is not to the
college paper, to the Press Club, or
to the local representative of the
Associated Press, that our alumni
must turn to obtain a rightful place
for Penn State news in the daily
papers. It is to the editors them
selves. A concerted action on the
part of local alumni organizations
and of groups of men stationed in
the same vicinity must compel some
recognition from the newspapers.
Sh Jw them that you want the news,
and they will print it. The men in
college are doing all in their power
to send out available news, and if it
is not printed, the matter rests with
our alumni and friends for solution.
At the present time the main
topic of all college news is the
work of the football team. With
an exceptionally good team repre
senting the Blue and White this
yeas, our opportunity for gaining a
hearing should be made much more
easy; and if the editors can be per
suaded to recognize the importance
of the work, no difficulty should be
experienced in causing them to
print college news after the football
season is over. What we want is a
fair place through the whole year
for Penn State news—a place with
the other large Eastern colleges.
Let us turn to, then, and combine
forces, both within and v.ithout the
college, for the purpose of gaining
such recognition
Prof. Diemer Attends Confernce
Professor Diemer was the guest
of Dean Person of the Amos Tuck
School of Administration and
Finance, Dartmouth College, during
the conference on scientific manage
ment held recently at that place.
The conference was attended by
about four hundred• ~nd fifty busi
ness men, besides fifty invited
guests and speakers. The discus
sion coveted not only methods for
securing greater efficiency in manu
facturing, but also some of the
broader economic questions involv
ed in matters pertainirg to the la
bor problems, and the combinations
to raise and maintain selling prices.
To those interested in such work
the conference was a source of
much profit.
Mr. J. M. Spangler, 1911, is with
the signal department of the New
York Central and Hudson River
Rail-road.
New Engineering Equipment
The School of Engineering has
purchased a steel tower two hun
dred feet high to be used in the
construction of a new antenna for
the college wireless station. It will
be erected near the Electrical Build
ing, and it is expected that this,
along with other improvements, will
facilitate communication with sta
tions more remote than is now pos
sible.
The department of Electrical
Engineering has received a special
ly designed harmonic set, manu
factured by the General Electric
Co. It consibts of three 3 phase
alternators, the fields of the three
machines being mounted on the
same shaft. The largest of these
generators is a 60 cycle machine,
the second one of 180 cycles, and
the third one of 300 cycles. The
pressure waves developed by all
three machines, or by any two of
them may be superposed. and the
waves themselves may be displaced
by any desired amount. The har
monic set, in connection with the
three element osciliograph purchas
ed several years ago provides
equipment for exhaustive study
along certain lines of alternating
current theory not found in any
other college electrical engineering
laboratory in this country. This
equipment is the second of its kind
that has been manufactured; the
first is the possession of the Elec
trical Testing Laboratory in Ntsw
York City.
The department of Electrical
Engineering will receive from the
Westinghouse Electrical Manufac
turing Co. in the next few weeks,
equipment for a new high tension
laboratory. This will consist of a
60 kilovolt ampere single phase oil
cooled transformer; a regulator, by
means of which the secondary volt
age of the transformer may be vari
ed at wi'l from zero to 150,000
volts; a marble switch board, on
which will be mounted the neces
sary instruments and switching
devices. This laboratory will be
located in the new building to be
erected this fall for the School of
Engineering. The equipment will
be used for experimental work in
connection with high tension trans
mission, insulation testing, lightning
arresters, and the phenomena ac
companying the generation and
transmission of electrical energy at
extremely high voltages.
The Horticulture Trip
Fifty-three Horticulture students
in charge of Prof. W. J.
Wright left State College Monday,
Oct. 9, on an orchard inspection trip
through the southern part of Penn
sylvania, West Virginia, Maryland,
and Virgi•ia.
The first stop was at Harrisburg
near which city they visited a fruit
farm owned by Mr. Gabriel Heister,
who is a trustee of the College.
Mr. Heister grows apples, pears,
peaches and grapes.
Tuesday afternoon the party left
for Waynesboro, Franklin county,
and on the way passed through
Gettysburg, where points of interest
were visited, including the site of
the famous Peach Orchard.
The second point of interest was
the large apple orchard near Bend
ersville, Aeams county, owned by
Tyson Brothers who are among the
largest and most successful growers
in our state. Mr. C. M. Tyson ac
companied the party through other
orchards owned by Josiah Pricket
and Mr. Griest.
Near Waynesboro and -Mt. Alto
the orchards of Mr. D. M. Wertz
were inspected. Mr. Wertz is also
one of the largest and most promi
nent growers of apples and peaches
in our state.
They next visited the Tonoloway
orchards near Hancock, Md., which
are the largest commercial bearing

orchards this side of the Mississippi
River and are owned by Mr. Cohill
& Sons. One block of trees here
covers 700 acres.
Near Martinsburg, W. Va., Mr.
N. T. Frame, secretary of the Berk
ley County Horticultural society,
went with the boys through the.
Bowers & Faulkner orchard, the
Protumna orchard owned by J. W.
Stuart, and the I N. Thatcher com
pany orchard.
After leaving Martinsburg the
party went to Washington, D. C.,
where it was met by Professors
Lake and Beatty of the Department
of Agriculture. They accompanied
the boys through the Agricultural
buildings and later to the Govern
ment Experimental Farm at
Ar
lington, Va.
At each place the party was cor
dially welcomed and very pleasant
ly entertained. Each grower was
interested in the work of the stu
dents and free to discuss the work
and methods used in the orchards.
Professor Lake and Beatty at Wash
ington were untiring in their efforts
to help make the trip one of the
most profitable trips that could be
taken by the students.
Big Fruit Show During Nov. 17.
At a meeting of Crab Apple Club
Saturday evening steps were taken
preliminary to making arrangaments
for a monster fruit show to be held
at Penn State during Pe msylvani a

outside the state. Everybody in
the college community is invited to
take an active part in making this
exhibit a success and especially in
assisting his county to make a good
showing. It is not necessary that

ture.
Mr. H. H. Zimmerly is chairman
of the student committee having
the general arrangments in charge.
