ENGINEERING NOTES
The School of Engineering is di
recting the industrial work of the
high school in Bellefonte, and has
appointed Mr. G. H. Reside:•, of
the Industrial Engineering Depart
ment to have general direction of
the work. ,
The Department of Industrial
Engineering of the School of En
gineering is carrying on a model
school in vocational instruction in
connection with the State College.
The pupils are drawn from the
State College high school.
Messers C. G. Grabe and K. P.
Fuhrmann, senior electricals, are
showing some remarkable results
with their thesis work on smoke
consuming apparatus. Thus, they
fill a vessel with thick black smoke
which normally remains a long time
in the closed space without mater
ially thinning; but when they apply
their electrostatic forces the vessels
clear almost immediately.
They are now building enlarged
apparatus to be placed at the
stack at the Thermal Plant. This
work is a part of a series of investi
gations concerning the smoke nui
sance which is being carried on by
the Engineering Experiment Sta
tion.
Interclass Basketball
The new regulation governing
inter-class basketball provides that
each team shall play but three
games during the season. The
number of games in this inter-class
contest was decreased because of
the fact that comparatively little
interest was shown by the students
at these games.
Up to this time three games have
been played and three remain. The
attendance at these games thus far
has fallen far short of expectations,
and, if the remaining three are no
better attended than the previous
ones, the financial reports at the
close of the season will read about
the same as in former years,

The "Collegian"
The weekly paper of the student
.body of Penn State cannot be run
this year on the basis of one man in
every three paying for his subscrip
tion. The "Collegian" should be
made a semi-weekly edition, at
least, but steps to make this so can
be undertaken only by your sup
port this year. Some time ago we
asked all persons not wanting the
paper to inform the Manager, now
we ask for your subscriptions. The
price of the paper is $1.50.

Armory in the near future. Men
entering will be classified into five
weights and a suitable medal
awarded in each class. Weights

nament, with the date, will be an
nounced in the near future. Fur

!Fe finished husking yesterdry. Tram the acre qv/Jere we tried sour them about
hone-meal and clover making the Potash available, we harvested 50 bushels of
rather (hanri , corn, and from the rest of the field, where we used bone, clover and
50 lbs. Muriate of Potash per acre, we husked out 70 bush& per acre of hp-top
torn that is nearly all fit to sell oa the ear fur seed corn.
I figure Mat a ton of Mariam of Potash on 40 acres of corn will tap for a
,ear's post graduate study for you and leave you a lade spare change to rho in
far athletics.
