text was the answer to the ques tion which was asked him so fre quently what in your opinion is lehigh's most pressing need the answer and the text being a pro ductive endowment to yield an an nual

eously to the promotion of the in terests of a university whose past achievements are noteworthy to the better training of many future gen erations of young men and to the advancement of industry itself the reason for james ward packard's gift of 1,000,000 to le high for a new electrical and me chanical engineering laboratory is attributed to printed advertising by the holmes press of

prob lem a new electrical and mechan ical laboratory was needed and it would take one million dollars to build it they brought this prob lem to us here is a copy for a book said mr a e buchanan jr the

regulation of the drying process in the desiccating of shredded coco nut is the title of an article writ ten by a e buchanan jr editor of the lehigh alumni bulletin for the october 1928 issue of food in dustries franklin baker is a lehigh grad uate class of 95 when in 1895 his father a philadelphia baker re ceived a cargo of coconuts instead of money in payment for flour he had shipped to cuba young baker took the situation in hand and started building up a business in shredded coconut he is now a di rector of the postum company of which the franklin baker company is a subsidiary buchanan's article deals with the mechanical processes through which the coconuts go before they become the finely shredded delicacy which we eat the franklin baker com pany has a ten story plant in new york city which is operated on a gravity flow plan the cocoanuts are first steamed and then opened and scraped by hand the chunks of coconut meat are mechanically washed and then ground buchan an describes this process as fol lows the selected nuts are conveyed by gravity to the next lower level meeting there a horizontal convey or which supplies the battery of shredding machines each of these ingenious cutters designed espe cially for this purpose consists fun damentally of a disk rotating hor izontally in which three knife blades are set at an angle across the cutting edge of each blade is a row of closely spaced vertical slic ers the general appearance being reminiscent of the familiar safety razor this cutting disk rotates at the bottom of a chamber into which the nut meat drops and is then pressed against the knives by a de scending piston a coconut is re duced to the desired size in 2 or 3 seconds being thrown from the ma chine in a miniature blizzard of fluffy shreds a belt conveyor serves the battery of shredders car rying the product to a galvanized iron tank truck which is rolled to the sweetening operation nearby the remaining process consists of swetening the coconut and ad

stresemann of ger many first to sign surely not so very long ago just such headlines were blazoned forth on the front pages of newspapers all over the civilized world then why all the preparation certainly the peace pact must carry some weight and is to be reckoned with as more than a scrap of paper admitted that the present band uniforms are enough to cause a violent war but the_y are going to play music for our army when the time comes and as le high plays lafayette in easton this year there is no immediate danger of an attack from that quarter after much thought and consid eration it seems that the only pos sible answer to the question is that the boys who wanna be sojers have to be doing things so that they can write about them in their notebooks this seems to be as good a theory as has been advanced so let there be bigger and better wars for the benefit of the u s army and the everlasting glory of the department of military science and tactics 1 to arms to arms south mountain is being prepared for an active siege the military depart ment is at last coming into its own rifles have been issued to the sophomores and freshmen student officers have been observed prac ticing

condition the men for forced marches juniors taking the ad vanced courses are pacing off dis tances and making maps of the campus and its environs and the seniors have been busy marking traces on the mountain for trenches and machine gun placements and discussing with jack petrikin and pooch cranmer the possibility of erecting more fences and barbed wire entaglements on the campus a few days ago a regular army officer gave a talk on therscience of killing men through the medium of field artillery and as a result the or dinance men have shined up the french 75 that lives under the sta dium and put a new magneto on the tractor so that those of their num ber whose spurs trip them when they walk may ride it has even been rumored that that bloodthirsty an angry tiger wreaked ven geance on the fighting brown and white grid team before a colorful crowd of 18,000 in the palmer sta dium last saturday afternoon and inflicted a deep 47-0 scar in its vic tim roper's revamped team staged a surging offense and rolled up the biggest score that princeton has compiled against lehigh since the 52-0 victory of 1906 lehigh was completely outclassed in every department of the ■game and although displaying a brand of football that would have done cred it to any team they could not check the orange and black wave that crossed the lehigli goal seven times a defective defense against the tiger passes opened the gates through which he roared to victory if lehigh could have finished as it had started there might have been a different story to tell kirk shows to advantage at end the brown and white men were off to a flying start and upon re ceiving the kick-off princeton's at tack was so weak that it looked as if lehigh was going to tame the tiger the first two rushes of the nassau eleven were checked behind the line of scrimmage when captain jack kirkpatrick went through the princeton forward wall and threw the ball-carrier for losses which amounted to six yards jack converted from tackle to end because of his size played a good game at his new position and on several occasions was directly responsible for smearing princeton plays he also caught one of the few completed passes of the brown and white team which netted the tate cohorts ten yards kirk will probably be at the wing position permanently the tiger came to life too soon though and taking advantage of a break succeeded in scoring in the middle of the first period lawler one of bill roper's ends blocked bob harris kick and hockenbury another nassau player fell on the ball on lehigh's 14-yard line then the brown and white line display ed its strength holding the tiger for three downs but on the fourth requardt skirted left end for nine yards and scored the first touch down requardt was a potent ground gainer for the princeton team and in the beginning of the fourth per iod he intercepted a pass and with splendid interferring ran 55 yards through the lehigh team for a touchdown in all he crossed the brown and white goal line three times passes bewilder lehigh in the second period roper threw in his first string backfield consist ing of bennett jones norman and fanshawe from then on the tig er opened a smooth passing attack varied by a running game that had the tate machine completely non plussed and the orange and black team gained ten and 13 yards at a clip trix bennett one of the regular backs was the mainspring of the princeton offensive repeatedly he reeled off runs for large gains around end through tackle and in between times he was heaving long passes he was responsible for three more of the touchdowns and more than filled ed wittmer's place wittmer was one of the five nassau regulars on the bench dur ing the entire game because of in juries bennett was the outstand ing player of the game and thrilled lehigh and princeton fans alike with his playing the other princeton score came as a result of the first play of the third period when bennett heaved the ball to lawler who will be ser iously considered for all-american honors although covered he snatched the ball five yards back of the goal line lowry attempted to kick but failed it was he who was responsible for the five extra points for the nassau team davidowitz withdrawn early except for a few brief moments in the third quarter when bob ben nett made a first down lehigh was unable to break through the prince ton defense and even art davido witz who had to retire on account of injuries was unable to make any impression on it wynn hand play ed a good game for the brown and white team at the helmsman's post

offense and rolled up the biggest score that princeton has compiled against lehigh since the 52-0 victory of 1906 lehigh was completely outclassed in every department of the ■game and although displaying a brand of football that would have done cred it to any team they could not check the orange and black wave that crossed the lehigli goal seven times a defective defense against the tiger passes opened the gates through which he roared to victory if lehigh could have finished as it had started there might have been a different story to tell kirk shows to advantage at end the brown and white men were off to a flying start and upon re ceiving the kick-off princeton's at tack was so weak that it looked as if lehigh was going to tame the tiger the first two rushes of the nassau eleven were checked behind the line of scrimmage when captain jack kirkpatrick went through the princeton forward wall and threw the ball-carrier for losses which amounted to six yards jack converted from tackle to end because of his size played a good game at his new position and on several occasions was directly responsible for smearing princeton plays he also caught one of the few completed passes of the brown and white team which netted the tate cohorts ten yards kirk will probably be at the wing position permanently the tiger came to life too soon though and taking advantage of a break succeeded in scoring in the middle of the first period lawler one of bill roper's ends blocked bob harris kick and hockenbury another nassau player fell on the ball on lehigh's 14-yard line then the brown and white line display ed its strength holding the tiger for three downs but on the fourth requardt skirted left end for nine yards and scored the first touch down requardt was a potent ground gainer for the princeton team and in the beginning of the fourth per iod he intercepted a pass and with splendid interferring ran 55 yards through the lehigh team for a touchdown in all he crossed the brown and white goal line three times passes bewilder lehigh in the second period roper threw in his first string backfield consist ing of bennett jones norman and fanshawe from then on the tig er

backs was the mainspring of the princeton offensive repeatedly he reeled off runs for large gains around end through tackle and in between times he was heaving long passes he was responsible for three more of the touchdowns and more than filled ed wittmer's place wittmer was one of the five nassau regulars on the bench dur ing the entire game because of in juries bennett was the outstand ing player of the game and thrilled lehigh and princeton fans alike with his playing the other princeton score came as a result of the first play of the third period when bennett heaved the ball to lawler who will be ser iously considered for all-american honors although covered he snatched the ball five yards back of the goal line lowry attempted to kick but failed it was he who was responsible for the five extra points for the nassau team davidowitz withdrawn early except for a few brief moments in the third quarter when bob ben nett made a first down lehigh was unable to break through the prince
