land and water men on shore drilled until they struck solid rock the men working on dredges first had to locate a spot in the river where a deep ledge which follows the river bed was at a minimum depth this spot was located at a sharp turn in the river here men bored through rock with diamond point drills and the hole made was lined with con crete the main is partly on the surface of the ground and partly buried his talk was illustrated with some very interesting slides which showed the work in all stages he pointed out how this new aqeduct would help supply the growing need of water

cast and chorus of the mus tard and cheese club's production of the fair co-ed are working vigorously to get the play into first class shape for presentation on april 28 at the grand opera house south bethlehem a rehearsal held on monday night in which both units were drilled showed that much work is necessary however with the re hearsals held almost every night from now until the production it is believed that the result will be a most creditable showing the play is a mast amusing and clever composition unlike the ma jority of musical comedies it boasts of a well defined plot not exagger ated and impossible but true to the life at a small college such as the one in which the scenes are laid j mckay 17 plays the leading male role that of davy diekerson who isi almost a senior he has been

recognizes the latent ability within hi roself to in crease his own personal stock and to invest that stock favorably and to perfection by personal stock i don't mean entirely his appear ance his relationship his friend ships but more important than any of these i mean his outlook on life his ■ perseverance his indi vidual power in relation to others personality is not personality when severed from these manifestly im portant relations in the development of person ality allow me to indicate a list of fundamental factors in the indi vidual life the home the school the church the individual's civic life his social life his vocation and his recreation the home fosters fellowship frees us of conventionalities with in its walls we are at ease here we receive our advice and offer our sympathies the school influences development of mind body and spirit the church gives us in spiration by inspiration i do not mean a word of hazy significance inspiration is not based upon a spiritual boost — it is a practical thing it plants a spirit in the heart and moves its possessor to interest in his daily tasks civic life promotes co-opera tion — it is a device whereby we set each person to a task and help him through it closely linked with civic life we may place vocation to have a vocation does not mean that a man is extracting money from one man's pocket and placing it in his own it is not a system of foraging it is a system of self ad vancement a means by which a man helps himself and others as to public recreation i believe that the more i say about that the better it is high time that high minded people devote their time to useful recreation too many of us have put on pressure and cannot take it off recreation is self re covery and should be devoted to such i important
