on English hockey and to improve their
game generally. This is the first pro
fessional assistance the teams have had
and they expect to be greutly helped
by it.
FOREIGN LABORERS HERE
WILL BE HELPED BY “Y”
A number of foreign laborers will'be
given an opportunity to learn English
and visit* Penn State College and the
points of interest in the vicinity,
through.the efforts of the Industrial
•Committee of the V. M. C. A.
The foreigners have been imported
from Johnstown, Pa. for the purpose of
building sewers in State College and will
be housed in barracks just outside of
the town. The Industrial. Committee,
composed of college students, has ar
ranged .with the contractor to.give the
men lessons in speaking and reading
English to enable them to obtain their
naturalization papers. A number of
auto tours to points of interest around
♦State College, such as Penn’s Cave,
have been planned for them in addition
to an inspection of the college.
PROFESSOR PIELEMIER
INVENTS DELICATE METER
A new machine, capable of measuring
a force equal to one ten-billionth of an
ounce Is now part of the equipment of
Penn State’s laboratories, and made a
very interesting exhibit on Pennsyl
vania Day, when it was displayed. The
apparatus, which is to be used
In an experiment on inaudible sound,
rhas Just been completed by Professor
iW&lter Plelmeler, of the Department of
iPhyßlcs.
The instrument consists of a quartz
?flbre, about six ten-thousandths of an
.Inch in thickness, to which is suspended
>a mirror and a mica vane at the end of
an arm. When a slight force strikes
■the vane, such ns the almost Infinltesl
imal force of a wave of sound of such
ihlgh frequency that It cannot be heard,
:the mirror is dcllected on the fibre as
:the vane swings about, and tho reflec

;lng in the mirror indicates thoamount
;0 * turning produced by the force. It
B then a simple matter to read on the
‘scale, the amount of turning und there

REHAB BANQUET AT “U”
CLUB PROVES SUCCESS
The Rehabilitation Club of Pennsyl
vania State. College held its annual
banquet at the University Club on Sat
urday evening. President Thomas, Dr.
Sjwirks, and various other college ofll
ctals were present and gave short talks
suitable to the occasion.
Mr. Fuller, chief of the Veterans’
Bureau, District three, Philadelphia,
was present ami also a representative
from the Veterans’ Bureau of Washing
ton, both of whom gave short and In
teresting talks to the large number of
"Rehubs" who were in attendance with
their wives or sweethearts. A number
of alumni were back to help celebrate
the big occasion as this banquet is. an
im|>ortnnt affair for the members of
the Rehabiliation Club.
The University Club jwirlors were
decorated with picturing native* plant
material and during the evening music
was furnished by a stringed quartette
composed of members from the Penn
State Mandolin Club.
The "Rehab” Club was much in evi
dence during the whole day on Satur
day, turning out for the review in the
morning and attending the exercises in
front of Old Main in a body. The ac
tivities of the club prove it be a dpal
live organziation.
PENN STATE EARNED
$350,000 LAST YEAR
What have been termed the "by
products of education" amounted /to
over 3350,000 last year at Penn State.
The various laboratories and the 1800
acres of college land all did their res
pective parts toward earning • this
amount of money, which equals approx
imately one-sixth the available reven
ue for one year.
The greater part of the earnings was
made by the creamery und dairy of the
college, which together realized profits
amounting to 3200,000. The Horticul
ture Department cans Its over supply
of.fruits and .vegetables,, the live-stocki
poultry and crop departments all do
their share, while the Department of
Engineering realizes large sums from
its furniture manufacture and other
minor lines. These departments coliec
, tlvely supply tho remainder of the fund,
or over $150,000. *
REV. SAWTELLE SPEAKS
AT SUNDAY SERVICES
The Reverend W. L. SawteJie, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church of
Scranton, was the chapel speaker for
both services last Sunday. Rev. Saw
tellc is a graduate of Williams College
and 'he also studied . theology at Au
burn Seminary.
This is not the first- visit which the
speaker has made to Penn State to ad
dress Sunday Chapel. He has been here
on several occasions and each time his
, sermon was enjoyed.
Last Sunday his talk was on "What
People Sacrifice for Ideals." Taking
the Bible story of the three men who
went through the line of the Philistines
in order to get water, he applied the
lesson to our own present day life and
showed how we should consider Coun
try, Education .and Religion.
ALASKAN MISSIONARY
TO LECTURE TONIGHT
An illustrated lecture by Dn John
W. Chapman, who was the chapel
speaker several weeks ago, and a pro
gram by the varsity Quartette will be
the - features of the Tuesday evening
meeting under the auspices of the Y.
M. C. A. tonight in Old Chapel at seven
o’clock. For the last thirty-five years
Dr. Chapman has‘been-working with
the Indians along the Yukon River, and
tho lecture, describing his experiences
and life in the interior of Alaska, should
be of great interest, for Dr. Chapman's
career exemplifies tho spirit of the pion
eer missionary.

PENN STATE SOIL MEN
REJUVENATE OLD FARMS
Professor White of the Agronomy
Dept. Announces Results of
Experiments at Snow Shoe
Considerable reference to the valu
able work done for agriculture by Penn
State has been made in u general way
many times, especially since the open
ing of the Emergency Building Fund
campaign. A specific Instance of this
work is strikingly set forth in an ac
count of the experiments conducted by
Professor J. W. White of the Depart
ment of Agronomy of Penn State
Tho Department of Agronomy began
in 1915 a study of the most economical
means of reclaiming the large areas of
Pennsylvania farm land which had been
abandoned after the fertility of the soil
on then; had become exhausted becausei
the famers had practiced systems nl
"continuous cropping”, which constant
ly removed plant food materials from
the soil but provided no means of re
turning these elements. These "fanned
out” areas are found in many sections of
the Keystone state, representing, in
the area comprising DcKalb soil, thous
ands of acres of tillable land, many sec
tions of which have not been under
cultivation for half-a century. In or
der to conduct studies on the reclama
ation of these soils, Professor White
und his assistants laid out permanent
field plots in different sections of Penn
sylvania and have secured some exceed
ingly interesting and valuable results
during the past six years of experimen
tation.
One of the most important-agricultur
al experiment stations supported by
Penn State is at Snow Shoe, where
the soil is typical DeKalb mountain
land, rather poor for farming purposes.
Some of the results recently announced
by Professor White reveal astonishing
and signicant facts that will undoubted
ly prove of interest and value to all
who are interested in the agricultural
welfare of Pennsylvania. A few of the
more remarkable results follow.
During the last four years the un
treated, that is. unfertilized, soil at
Snow Shoe has produced but 752 pounds
of dry matter to the acre’ as against
18,659 pounds to tho acre where a com
plete fertilizer (containing nitrogen;
Phosphorous, and potassium coin--
pounds and limestone were applied.'
Again, 281 pounds of corn, oats, and
wheat could be produced in a .rotation
on an acre of untreated DeKalb soil
without fertilizing, whereas a well fer
tilized area of the same typo of soil
produced 6029 pounds of corn, oats, and
wheat in a rotation. This year, the un
fertilized soil yeilded about three hun
dredths of a bushel of com to the acre,
while fifty and three tenths bushels
resulted on the same soil when a com
plete fertilizer plus limestone was ap
plied. Yields of clover and timothy hay
were increased from a few scattered
plants to 4920 pounds an acre.
These results demonstrate beyond a
doubt that Pennsylvania has not hope
lessly lost her “farmed out" lands, but
that on tho contrary scientific agricul
ture has found a way to redeem these
lands quickly and profitably through
tho proper use of soil amendments.
And since with the growing demand for
farm produce will come an increased de
mand for many farm lands, the people of
Pennsylvania will have to turn to these
abandoned farms.
Such soil studies as these are seen
to be of vast economic importance to
the state and worthy of far greater
support from the Commonwealth than
they - now receive. Indeed, the work
done by tho Solis Technologists, under
Professor White, is retarded by lack of
finances, and it Is hard to predict what
results-may follow with the acquisi
tion of ’ more nearly ample funds and
greater facilities for experimentation.
VARSITY QUARTET TO 9ING
FOR'AID OF BUILDING FUND
The Varsity Quartet will be used in
tho near future by the Emergency
Building Fund Committee in - several
meetings in. the state to help
arouse enthusiasm in the big drive
which Penn State is conducting to lay
tho foundation for a state university.
The Director of Music, Mr. R. W.
Grant, states that the organization this
year is eager‘to do all It con \toi hfblp

THE PENN- STATE COLLEGIAN
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
TO PRESENT COMEDY
A student volunteer play entitled
"Mrs. Malmvarlng’s Management" by
J. R, Froome will be presented, under
the direction of J. Gordon Amend, In
the Auditorium Friday night at eight
fifteen o’clock. The play is a clever
comedy and is very well handled by a
competent cast. Rehearsals are run
both morning and evening and it is
Imped that the play will be one of the
most pleasing of the year. It win be
preceded by a piano act by 11. F. Tay
lor *26 and an interpretive reading by
Ruth Ellen Jackson of the English De
partment and song selections by Clif
ford Finley ’23 of the Varsity Quartet.
An advance sale of tickets will be
held at Co-op Thursday evening from
seven until eight o’clock.
INTERNATIONAL WEEK OF
PRAYER NOW UNDER WAY
Special . Meetings Will Be Held
Every Morning from 7:55 to
8:15 in Old Main
In accordance with the custom of all
other colleges and universities through
out the world. Penn State will Join in
the international week of prayer for
young men commencing this Monday
and continuing for the week.
in connection with the observance of
the week, special meetings will be held
every morning next week from 7:55 to
8:15 in room 121 Old Main. To this
place, all students are invited to come
on the mornings in which the regular
chapel sessions do not interfere for
thoughtful meditation and Intercession.
The regular Bible discussion groups
being conducted In the various fraterni
ties and rooming houses will also ob
serve the week by holding special meet
ings on Monday, Wednesday, und Fri
day evenings. At these limes a special
ly prepured pamphlet for the occasion
by Dr. Harry Emerson Foadlck will be
used. These pamphlets are now avail
able at the "Y" Hut for all who care to
obtuln them.
Vitally Necessary
For over half a century in many
lands tho observance of the week of
prayer for young men has helped to hold
in prominence the most vital and dy
namic purpose and practice of the As
sociation. The Y. M. C. A. is a super
human enterprise which cannot achieve
Us high and unselfish ends through hu
man wisdom and energy only. Inter
cessory prayer must hold the central
place In its plans and activities.
The vital need for this week of pray
er «» expressed in the November issue
of "Association Men”.
"But most of all we realize our fel
lowship the world around. In every
college and university where the love of
Christ is felt, a band of His disciples
wifi gather to intercede for their follows.
The hungry, ill-clad student in Petro
grad or Prague will thank God for the
help American students have given,
and invoke a blessing on them. Care
free, healthy American students' will
pray for their suffering brethren in Ar
menia. ami by prayers will be moved
to aid. The English student will pray
for a better understanding of the Indian
student, and the Japanese student will
pray for a closer fellowship with the
Chinese. Americn students will cry
for mercy that we have been so indiffer
ent to our responsibilities for other na
tions.
/‘And so it will go. In every nation,
heart barriers of pride and prejudice
will go down before this flood of prayer
and the healing and invigorating spirit
of Christ will enter in. Men of tomor
row will ses visions and will resolve
to make them come true. The Holy
Spirit will work in a day the changes
In human lives that years of persuasion
and argument could not bring about.'

la spite of the heavy losses incurred
by graduation last year, prospects for
a good tennis combination in the spring
are bright. One round yet remains to
be played off in the oliminati'm tourna
ment-which will decide the squad per

mented by Nissley. Reed. Gillen, and
Fatzitiger. with perhaps one or two in
addition. Over the winter months, light
workouts will be held in the Armory, to
keep the men itt condition.
Tlte freshman class, as a whole, la
showing unexpected interest in the
sport, and some likely prospects have
been brought to light, notably Cottom
and Mulpas, both of whom show great
promise.
The spring schedule, while not def

more home games than lias been the
case heretofore.
OUTLOOK FOR BOXING
TEAM IS PROMISING
Abundance of Lightweight Mater
ial Will Afford Keen Competi
tion for Varsity Berths
Although no actual tryouts have been
staged so far this year, tho prospects
for Bonn State having u winning box
ing team ure vory good. Several varsi
ty men ure buck in college and are ex
pected to produce the same class of box
ing that they did last year. U. L. Black
’23, who boxes around one hundred und
sixty pounds will be on hand and Clark
’23, In the one hundred and seventy
five pound class is expected to return to
school in time for the boxing season.
Xo coach Inis yet been chosen to take
the place of L. D. Chapin who coached
the team last year but who has not re
turned this year. Bezdek, however,
lias one or two men in mind and a new
coach will probably be chosen in a week
or two, so that the winter's work in
boxing can be started.
There are several men in the sopho
more class, among whom are T. C.
Zerbe and 11. B. Young, who worked
hard last year, und who are expected to
show up well this year. The freshman
class is also putting into tho boxing
circle a lot of good material which looks
very promising.
About tho only tiling that is lacking
is a man to till the heavyweight berth.
As yet there is no one in view and un
less a man from the football squad is
secured and put in trim tho position
may still be unfilled when the boxing
season starts.
