the american institute of electrical engineers dr jewett told an audience ' at columbia university recently that our present knowledge of electrons and protons is sufficient to open up wide vistas of practical ap plications besides which devel opments of the present will pale into insignificance no one to predict the magnitude md importance of future dis coveries in electricity he said as vice president of the wes tern electric company dr jew ett is the head of a research or ganization whitti has made many important applications of the new science of the electron the great growth of indus trial application of electricity during the past fifty years said dr jewett^/'has stimulated an enormous amount of experi mentation and research so that we are today in possession not alone of the fundamentals laws but of much quantitative data for engineering design and ap plication from the standpoint fif practical applications of our knowledge we have arrived to day at a point where in one form or another electricity plays such a vast part in the affairs of life that there is justification for designating this the age of elec ; tricfty there is however an even more fundamental basis for the designation as a result of the acquired since we first began to have an insight into the mechanism of electri icjty there has developed and is still developing a knowledge of the ultimate structure of mat ter and of the various manifes tations of what we term energy ! which have not only tended to i break down and diffuse many of | the ofd barriers which separat jed the so-called sciences but al i so give basis for the belief that continued on payc '/, column 1 alpha tau omega k thum newark n j r sax ten chicago 111 e kerr 1 clearfleld pa r richards pittsburgh pa h mccord

football season will be officially ushered in on day afternoon at 3 o'clock on taylor field when lehigh meets gettysburg in what augers to be a clash of fairly evenly-matched teams the gettysburg clan are for tunate this year in having prac tically a whole veteran team it will be remembered that the sol diers last year held the lehigh eleven to a 0-0 tie in the open ing game all through the sea son last year the gettysburg team played good football so with practically the same eleven intact it can be seen that the brown and white eleven is up against a stiff proposition in the first game of the season the gettysburg coach bill wood has been working hard with his backfield as he has lost two of his last year's stars by gradua tion in captains smith and bream who occupied the quarter and fullback positions how ever he still has two exceptional half backs in mench and gal breith who are playing their second year for the soldiers the gettysburg line wilube prac tically the same as last year its worth can be judged by the fail ure of the lehigh gridmen to score a touchdown against them coach baldwin has not an nounced the line-up which he in tends using in the game on sat urday tho competition for berths being too close and al most daily changes are being made in the varsity line-up be sides this a number of the men are on the injured and sick list which will keep them out of the line-up foremost among these are hendershott who only lately has reported for practice due to stomach trouble several of the men are having trouble with their shoulders ; among these are fraunheim briody and hess the teams will probably li-ne up as follows , gettysburg lehigh emanuel - right end burke jones right tackle springsteen dorr right guard lewis gilliland center roth mordan left guard hoffman yost left tackle merrill singley , ...... left end walker mensch quarterback astariui smith left halfback jacobs pilus '. riglit halfback storer galbraith fullback ....... greer to meet this condition — among adults as well as chil dren — the nutrition service of the american red cross has de veloped three chapter activities : classes in nutrition for under nourished children hot lunch eons for schools and classes in food selection for mothers the standard which the service has continued on i'aue 3 column 2 there is ample proof of this ! twenty per cent of our school children are jtinder weight for 1 height and age fifty to seven 1 ty-five per cent of them havej defective teeth the reason is the same in both cases : malnu trition some of the defective teeth of course are due to the fact that their owners neglect the toothbrush but the majority are due to improper nourish ment for it is certainly true that nine people in ten are satisfied that they are treating themselves well when they eat good food well cooked it never occurs to them that they should also have the right kind of food and in the right combination if their bodies are to be properly nour ished you can't build a house of wood alone even the finest kind of wood you have got to use other materials such as iron in combination with it and it is no different in building a healthy body as people are be ginning to realize the idea that it is necessity for us to include in our educa tion such a thing as education for eating probably strikes most people as extremely ludicrous ypu don't have to teach me to eat they say jocularly which in a sense is true nevertheless question nine tenths of them and facts come to light which make plain their lack of educa tion faculty makes important changes in cut system hawthorne works of western electric now largest factory in illinois more than 33,700 men and women now are employed in the shops and offices of the haw thorne works of the western electric company this is ap proximately five per cent of the total working force of chicago the hawthorne works has now reached a point where it is prac tically twice as big as any other manufacturing organization in illinois during the jast five years the number of workers has more than doubled on september 10 1918 there were 16,000 on au gust 12 of last year there were 25,900 and on january ist of this year 28,400 during the past two weeks it is estimated that 700 additional employes have been brought into the or ktmization the continued ex pansion of the bell telephone system and the steady demand for western electric communi cation equipment are chiefly re sponsible for this rapid growth during the summer the uni versity library has acquired over 450 volumes which cover al most every field of human en deavor the total number of volumes in the library at the present time is 112,385 in ad dition to this there are also over 400 volumes being bound which will be entered in the library

and from 2.00 to 5.00 every afternoon excepting saturday h e litke gives the facts about the 1924 epitome a vast amount of comment h^s been prevalent around the cam pus concerning the 1924 epi tome the majority of these comments have been in the form of unfavorable criticism arising from misinformation for the benefit of those who are not aware of the facts mr litke business manager of the 1924 copy wishes to state that the books were on hand during the last week of the spri-ng term just past and that due to the attractions and distractions of final examinations the stu dent body could not be thorough ly canvassed and informed of the arrival of the issu.e to date only a small percent | age of those men who subscrib ed last spring have claimed their ! copies any man who has a re ceipt for his subscription can ob tain a copy of the book from h ' e j_atke at the delta upsilon house sayre park others who have not subscribed but wish to do so will recewe prompt atten tion by placing their orders with mr litke inasmuch as the book is a rec ord of the activities of the col lege and its affairs extending i over the past year a^nd also con tains a good bit of amusing and interesting material it is well worth while possessing and in asmuch as it is edited solely for the students it can only live through their patronage for the protection of the future class books therefore there can ibe no drop in the price the faculty of lehigh uni , i versity at a meeting held last monday afternoon introduced 1 several changes in the method 1 of treating student absences at 1 tendances are to be taken daily in the respective classes and the : reports of absences sent to the ; o ! nce of the dean excuses for ; absences i which circumstances j warrant must be obtained from this source a number of unexcused ab sences equivalent to the number of credit hours in that subject | will be allowed per term if a greater number are incurred in it'ny subject the student will be i excluded from the final examin jation and he may petition the ri'aculty to be permitted to takei a final or special examination such petition must bear the rec ommendation of the student's de partment head and the approval of the dean and be made out on a blank provided for that pur pose which may be obtained in the dean's office the f-ee for a special examination is five dol lars the final grade in any subject in which a special examination is taken will be determined from the examination alone independ ent of the grade of the term's work in that subject the former practice of eros for unexcused absences will be discontinued excepting in the case of a formal quiz s-uch as precedes the of a five-week period coach morris kanaly's hill and dale experts have been prac ticing faithfully for the last two weeks ' in preparation for the coming season manager s l hauser 24 has arranged a very attractive schedule of four meets with the possibility of one more the schedule is as follows intermural run october 27 carnegie tech away nov 3 lafayette home nov 10 intercollegiates nov 27 the first meet of the season is the annual intermural run over the st luke's course th^is meet serves largely as a tryout for the team to determine who will compete in the first outside meet as an extra incentive coach kanaly w(l present three medals to the first three men to finish the winner of the race receives a gold medal the sec ond man receives a silver medal and the third a bronze medal this meet will be held on satur day october 27 and it will prob | ably be staged during the muh lenberg game although nothing defnite has as yet been ar ', ranged the following saturday the team will journey to pittsburgh where they will stage a dual meet with carnegie institute of technology the following week-end lafayette is to furn ish the competition on l*ehigh's home course which will prob ably be st luke's last year lafayette nosed out the brown and white harriers by a single point this year the team is all set to turn the tables but by a more substantial margin it has been several years since a le high cross-country team has de feated lafayette but this year everything points for a lehigh victory it will be the first home ! meet for lehigh in two seasons | the big race of the season comes on november 17 when the team will compete in the an nual cross-country run of the middle atlantic intercollegiate athletic association as on pre vious occasions the meet will be held in van courtlaridt park new york city from present indications this year's team should be one of the best that has represented the brown and white for several years but nothing definite as to its strength can be truthfully stated until the tryouts on octo ber 27 f a comparison of the times made this year with those of former years will serve as a gotid basis for determining the strength of the team of 1923 ■ ■ - , bethlehem pa friday october 5 1923 price five cen r vol xxxi . no 4 , .■ • • to students and
