He keeps in touch girth his homeland
by sending newspapers from the active
centers of Chinn
In spite of hard work during the
summer and concentration to Ins
Louise, in college, Wong finds time to
assnnilate ideas on ever}-day matters
from his associates.
"I am often deeply amused by the
impressions of China which even well
educated people seem to carry," he
said t‘lth a chuckle. "It is true that
in the interior of the country age-old
customs are still adhered to, and old
Ingle , : may be found heir and there
But these customs are constantly dis
appearing under the influence of the
common educational system, and the
old fogies are gradually passing away.
"Something that interests me is the
large number of vegetables in China
that escape notice, chile rice is con
sidered to be our lone food. There
arc more sanction of vegetables in
China than there are in the United

"Why, the chop-suet' that you eat

American public could not afford to
pay the dollars and dollars for the
price of Chinese vegetables and the
high tariff
"Rite to the Chinese is like spaghet
ti to the Italians Sweet potatoes are
common in China However, rice is
the most popular substitute for bread.
"Another well-known notion that ii
out-of-date now is the binding of feet.

"The abolition of customs such as
this one indicates the progresses e spir

rearmed. "Realizing that China needs
an uneven sal education, pe are , mov

Dean Steidle Decries Lack of College
Graduates in State Mining Industries
Only sixty students a year are be

leges and unitetsities with technical
qualifications in mining and metal
lurgy capable of fitting them for the
control of the mining and mincial in
dustries of the State, according to
Dean Edward W. Steidle of the School
of Mines and Metallurgy.
These industries alone are valued
at mme than one-third of the State's
moductive Industrial wealth. Com
pared with its natural resources.
Pennsylvania tanks twenty-first in
training men for these fields.
"The few men have been taken up
rapidly by the industries, and there
is an urgent need for many times the
sixty non being graduated each year."
Dean Steidle declared "The Common
wealth must educate itself to a recog
nition of the dearth of technically
trained men in the mineral indus
tries.
"Inventions, scientific discoveries
and research are hurling problems at
the industries at a more rapid rate

hindrance to the furtherance of the

He described the mowded condition

"We could use three times as many

its ON ercroWded condition. During the
Winter months every inch of floor
space in both the Armory and

' Dear Steidle, who recently com

metalluigical inlet ests of the State,
called attention to the fact that out'

In conclusion, Dean Steidle declared
that in mating a comparison of Penn

The Oregon plan of debating will be
encouraged by Penn State orators for
the first time in the last contest of
the season against Dickinson at Ca:-
lisle, Prlday.
Dickinson will take the affirmative
of the question, 'Resolved, That Trial
by Jury Should Be Abolished." Al
though the Oregon system may be
used for three or more debaters, it
was originally adopted for two speak
ers or each sole. Keller and Hood will
take the negative on the question.
Mr J. Stanley Gray, formerly of
Oregon and.non of Ohio State, is the
originator of the Oregon plan Under
this system, the first speaker establisn

the second speaker of the opposing
Iside. Afterward the second debates
refutes the answers he receives from
his opponent, and summonses his
case.

About five years ago, after trying
out many different styles of pipes
from the Missouri meerschaum to the
genuine meerschaum, including the
upside-down style made popular by
Vice-President Dawes, and experi
menting with Just about all the to
baccos then on the market except
Edgeworth, I finally decided that pipe.
smoking was not for me.
For the last year or so I noticed the
boys around the office here using
Edgeworth to the exclusion of all
other tobaccos and evidently getting
real pleasure from their pipes.
In April of this year I was in Canada
on a business trip and decided to take
another whirl at pipe-enioleng. So I
invested a good share of myliavings
in a pipe and a few cents additional
for a ran of Edgeworth.
From then on I have been figura
tively kicking myself around the block
about once each day when I think of
the five lean years I put in trying to
get along without a pipe. Houever, I
am trying to make up for lost time
and am succeeding quite well, Why.
I failed to try Edgeworth long ago will
have to go down in history as an
unsolved question But now that I
have found it, the years ahead look
rosy to me.
Very truly you rs,
