The livestock and poultry which were put on as an educational exhibit attracted a - Meat deal of attention and It was felt by a number of farmers that such en exhibit should have been made long ago-and incorporated as a part of the State Farm Products Show The col lege exhibit in the Emerson Drafting ham Building was also well attended The model ditcher aroused considerable lathiest by showing how very practical a poser ditching machine is This' was the first year of the for estry exhibit and it attracted consider able attention A,large number of requests were received for help in solv ing farm woodlots problems in the corn ing months and a number of demonstra tions were requested in the caring for , timber by creosoting as well as the proper care of woodlots. The wool ex hibit this year :was estimated to be the largest over exhibited in eastern United States with the possible ex ception of the Wool Show at Columbus Most of the commercial exhibitors made their displays a selling exhibit and arranged for their dealers to bring prospective buyers to Harrisburg at this time. All of these exhibitions ex pressed the satisfaction with the ex hibit and a number of them stated that by actual count mote than a thousand People passed their booths hourly The crowds, that attended the Show did not come with the Idea of being entertained but for the purpose of securing informtaion about agriculture and particulary about Palm machinery A very strong sentiment expressed on the part of the farmers and exhibitors that Pennsylvania should have a state foir to be operated under the supervis ion of the Department of Agriculture and along the same lines'as the great Ohio State Fair This fair to be held in the spring or summer would not interfere in the least with the Winter Shows but would enable' Pennsylvania to display Its live stock, a thhtg which Is Impossible at the present time. :REGISTRAR AT WORK - , ON SEMESTER REPORTS An announcement that will no doubt be of interest to the student body in general In regard to the reporting of failures for the first semester has boon made by' the Registrar.

Mr. Grog also had the lychee fruit on display This is a val uable food product and le commonly known as the lychee nut Following the close of the exhibit "Daddy" Groff left ,for New York City tt here be will attend the "Better Silk Show " Here he will use the steremoto maith to additional advantage It will be used to picture the silk industry and to emphasize the work being done by the Penn State Missions in this phase of industry'. It is hoped that the students win make this an annual affair and mike it a permanent part of the Penn State exhibit at the Harrisburg Show. Those instrumental in the mission work at the exhibit are planning to enlarge the sec tion and show plusses in silk produc tion and to illustrate the various farm implements used In China. A sufficient amount of lychee fruit will also be pro vided to enable them to distribute it among those Interested in the exhibit HEALTH SERVICE GIVES REPORT ON TREATMENTS Since the opening of, college in Sept ember there has been a total of 1745 calls at• the Health Service and of these 381 acre made In January.

'''' EVERY incandescent lamp has a filament. Mount a metal plate on a wire In the Hnsp near the filament. A current leaps the space between the filament and the plate when the filaiiient glows Edison first observed this phenomenon m 1883. Hence it was called the "Edison effect " • a Scientists long studied the ",effect" but they could not explain it satisfactorily. Now, after years of experimenting with Crookes tubes, X-ray tubes and radium, it is known that the current that leaps across is a stream of "electrons"— exceedingly minute particles negatively charged with electricity. These electrons play an important part in wireless communica tion. When a wire grid is interposed between the filament and the plate and charged positively, the plate is aided us drawing electrons across; but when the grid is charged negatively it drives back the elec trons. A very small charge applied to the grid, as small as that re ceived from a feeble wireless wave, is enough to vary the electron stream. Soothe grid in the tube enables a faint wireless impulse to control the very much greater amount of energy In the flow of electrons, and so radio signals too weak to be perceived by other means become per ceptible by the effects that they produce. Just as the movement of a throttle controls a great locomotive in motion, so a wireless wave, by means of the grid, affects the powerful electron stream. All this followed from studying :he mysterious "Edison effect"— a purely scieritfic discovery. No one can foresee what results will follow from research in pure science. Sooner or later the world must benefit practically from the discovery of new facts. For this reason the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company are concerned as much with investigations in pure science as they are with the improvement of industrial processes and products. They, too, have studied the "Edison effect" scientifically. The result has been a new form of electron tube, known as the "pliotron", a type of X-ray tube free from the vagaries of the old tube; and the " kene tron", which is called by electrical engineers a "rectifier" because it has the property of changing an - alternating into a direct current. All these improvements followed because the Research Labora tories try to discover the "how" of things. Pure science always justifies itself.
