known today that this department will
Mart functioning immediately
Professor R. Bressler, for five years
In charge of rural economics and so
ciology instruction at Penn State has
been created head of the new depart
ment. Assisted by Professors .1' L. E
McCord and W. V. Dennis, he is pre-,
paring a four year course aimed to
soppi l y men capalfio of succabstfully
managing co-operative associations for
farmers, a field in which the demand
far records the-supply.
That such a department should be
established at Penn State was the
unanimous opinion expressed at the
agricultural conference called at Har
risburg last winter by Secretary Wil

SOUSA'S' PROGRAM-WILL
INCLUDE POPULAR SONGS
Famous March• King Will Feature
"Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean" ,
During Season's Tour
John Philip Sousa, who will make
his first Penn State appearance with
his band of famous musicians on Oc
tober eleventh, every year sets his live
ly fancy to work on a humoresque or
fantasia built on one of the recent fad
tunes. last year, Sousa took 'The
Silver Lining" from 'Sally" and mado
it the busts of one of the most enter
taining numbers. on his, program
Fbr the coming season, the famous
conductor has turned his fancy to "Mr.
Gallagher and Mr. Sheen", the foolish
song which has moved to make of Ito
two etagere, the well known Gallagher
and Sheen of the varieties, national fig
urea.
It Is characteristic of the March-
King that he has never Ignored a coq
temporary composer whose work has
possessed the element of vitality. "The
thing to do with a good tune," he has
often Bald, " to to send It along." Es
timations prove that Jerome Kern, who
composed "The Silver Lining' . Is richer
by his royalty on the ego of at least
half a million copies as a result of
Sousa's use of.the tune in communities
where "Sally" has never been played
Year after . year, In making up his
programs, Sousa has token over for
transcription and adaptation ono or
more tunes by other composers and has
played them the length and breadth
of tile land However. the March-King
explains, "I never touch a tune that
carries-copyright without the consent
of the composer or his assignee, even
when-the tune-Is held by other show
men to be everybody's property for the
taking I don't care to have my music
used without my consent, and I have
like respect for the compositions of
others." -

Engineering Levels Mountains
The Pack Train has become a relic of the
past, along with the Prairie Schooner.
Madera methods of transportation have
leveled mountains, brought San Francisco
nearer to New York, and nidened the mar
kets of all our great' industries
And: the engineering brains and energy,
that have developed transportation to the
prominence it holds in the business of the
world today, are no longer employed in
improving means of overland travel alone.
Street Riulways, Elevator Systems, Inter
urban Lines and Improved Shipping Lines—
these are some of the accomplishments of
engineering in the development of better
transportation. •
Neither have the builders of such systems
been concerned only in the aetual hauling of
