Chemistry of the Oklahoma college as the third number of „ jj C. A. combined musical and Sermlamem course in the Auditorium r, Saturday evening.

Then, starting with the iabject of sound vibrations. Dr. Jones his audience through light waves, gevtric and wireless discharges, and haaily to a proof of the assertion that eren a mental exercise, such ns thought, 3 only a matter of vibrations whose Ireouency is governed by the same Physical laws as those of the other ex ipiples. In connection with the early part of his lecture the speaker suggested a number of wny*» in which the present) knowledge of scientific research could, and probably will, be expanded In the future. Under this head. Dr. Jones tutted that it was not out of tho ques tjon to have trains and machinery oper ated by thought waves sometime in the future, or be ablo to realize the dreems of the medieval alchemists of producing the rarer metals from lead, or aluminum, or copper. Dr. Jones is traveling under the man agement of the Bedpath Agency for the purpose of showing the people of the United States the Importance of scien tific research to th 6 progress of the world. In closing, he summed up his lecture by* showing that throughout tie whole gamut of vibrations, there runs one and only one Immutable law that governs everything, and that there to In. our world, one force, through the manifestations of which are many for ms and many laws brought Irfto being. IXHEHST AND TUFTS ENTEB 140 MEN IN DUAL TRACK MEET Borne time ago Amherst defeated Tufts in a track meet In which 170 men from each college competed, and which required two weeks to run off. The re sults of the events at each college were compared by telephone. The meet was part of the regular gymnasium work, and did not include any men of picked •thistle ability. mm yg lV'j'MuU: *.iO* ifm lour I Stretch the Allowance with an Ingersoll “■"Pencil Mass production makes I the first cost moderate. || Tfie simple mechanism fl never gets out cf order M and each double length 111 lead offers the same ffl writing service as a? in.

Seventy-three orders for these 1 bacterial cultures were filled for n total |of nearly six hundred acres, The lnrg | est request was for u one hundred acre I field of alfalfa. A charge of twenty j five cents is made for each acre to cover cost of labor and postage. The ‘cultures are put up in jars sufficient ’ to inoculate seed for one acre. Forty-eight orders for alfalfa cul tures sufficient for three hundred eighty-seven acres is the largest single group.

SOPHS DEFEAT FROSH IN LACROSSE SCRAP Lack of Experience Reflects on Playing- of Yearling Team- Numerals to be Awarded The sophomores succeeded In decisively defeating the freshmen in the annual soph-frosh lacrosse scrap which was closely contested on last Saturday after- When the final whistle blew, the storekeeper's tally counted up to six for the sophs and three for the frosh. . The freshmen were outclassed prim arily from lack of experience, and could not withstand the more even teamwork of the sophomore team. The match was an important one, In that all men playing the whole game will bo awarded their class numerals. Blazing Trails for Progress Curiosity may have killed the well-known eat, but it has been underneath mast of the hard-won developments that lastingly benefit mankind. Once in a great while, perhaps, ac cident has been the spark that has lighted the torch of achievement; but much more frequently—always, nearly accomplishment, especially in the field of science and invention, has grown out of the insatiable curiosity that seems to be the heritage of us all. Mankind wants to know —and is slowly finding out. Curiosity, the complement of imagination, knows no appeasement. This is, however, no essay on the vague sub of idle curiosity. There is a vast difference between that and the organised, untiring, well planned activity which, as an integral part of Westinghouse organization, searches continu ally for the answers to problems which intelli gent speculation sets up. This, if you please, is ‘curiosity in its highest and most intensified form; and it is a fundamental thing in the West inghouse operations.

GILLILAND Druggist Research, as we know it, is the guiding hand upon the purely creative activities of business. Constantly it brings to light new aspects of known laws, new visions of laws yet to be un covered. But the search for these is not hap hazard nor whimsical; it is organized and planned as carefully and thoroughly as any other busi ness activity. Whether chemical, electrical, or physical, it is engineering; and it follows engi neering methods and tradition. Many great engineers have been wholly at a loss in this specialized activity. For research, in a sense, reverses the usual order. Its en deavor is to discover unknown laws in the known facts —a thing which is quite at variance with ordinary engineering practice. Yet there is a fine type of engineering mind which finds its great opportunity in this kind of work. And to that type of mind, and that type of man, re search beckons with an unmistakable hand. It is engineering pioneering, it blazes trails for progress, to new triumphs, in a wilderness into whose outskirts man has scarcely penetrated. on Victor records would re.ioh ; the world. The faculty of the : minds by which it oomprehexu by tl ideas communicated to senses is limited l>y the impr made.
