me speaker opened his lecture with
„ explanation of the subject which he
intended to cover in his talk and ex-
Piiined a graph of vibrations, which
ins painted on the front of his demon
roation table. 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

BISHOP HUGHES DELIVERS i
FORCEFUL CHAPEL SERMON)
Chapel services on lose Sunday
were featured by Bishop Edwin H.
Hushes, of Maiden, Maas., who spoke
at both the morning and evening ser
vices.
Bishop Hughes Js a very Interesting
and forceful speaker, and had no trou
ble In holding the close Interest of all
present. He spoke on a man's personal
attitude towards life, and on various
uses and interpretations of the Scrip
tures. He especially spoke in very
plain terms of the man who would
magnify and distort a Bible verse, so
as to set forth some ideas of his own.
Bishop Hughes has appeared before
I'onn .State audiences on at least two
former occasions, and thus is not en
tirely unknown here. He has written
several widely read books, and is at
present connected with the Methodist
Episcopal Church of Malden, Massa
chusetts.

i year. Seventy-three orders for these
1 bacterial cultures were filled for n total
|of nearly six hundred acres, The lnrg

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. Soy beans, sweet clover, red
clover, peas, white clover, vetch, alsike,

placed early as the demand is already
large.

ANNUAL SENIOR DANCE
DECLARED SUCCESS
The senior dance, held last Friday
evening in the Armory, was a pro
nounced success. There were about
one hundred and eighty couples on the
floor dancing to the splendid music
provided by the “Ten Virginians."
The hull was decorated with various
colored streamers and lanterns, while
greens added a finished and artistic
touch to the scene. The floor was in
line condition for this, the first formal
dunce of the year.
The “Ten Virginians", who played
her«- last year and won the approval of
students of Penn State, upheld their
reputation of being the best dance or
chestra ever heard at State College.
During the entire evening they provid
ed. not only wonderful dance music,
but amusing entertainment through
their various antics.

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.

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.
