of inspec tion through the lehigh coke works at hellertown several of the faculty and members of other courses accompanied the chemists the coke industry is nearly as important and as interesting as the neighboring steel industry cer tainly they are mutually de pendent the lehigh coke works is es sentially german in arrangement in the original plant there were four batteries of ovens with 75 ovens each now there are four batteries of 104 ovens the coal which is used for coking is a mixture of three grades of bituminous coal which comes from the northeastern part of west vir ginia these three grades are known as elkins thomas and davis by mixing these coals in the proper proportion a mixture is obtained which does not swell or contract after it is put into the oven as the freight cars of coal come from the mine they are run into a shed which is called a warming shed it is heated fey gas the ob ject being to thaw out the coal in freezing weather to facilitate dumping from the warming shed a donkey engine pushes the cars up an incline to the tipple here the car is picked up bodily and the coal dumped into the proper bin from these great bins run three belt conveyors one for each grade of fuel there is a continual stream of the coal up the long belts which dump it into the bradford breakers here it is tossed and tumbled in a huge revolving cylin der until fine enough to pass through the holes in the breaker then it drops to a hammer mill where it is reduced to the proper fineness up to this point the various grades have been kept sepa rate now the crushed coal drops on a revolving plate a steel knife projects over the edge of the plate peeling off coal as the plate rotates by setting the angle of this knife any amount of coal may be peeled off and in this way the three grades are mixed in the proper propor tion again the mixed coal travels up a long conveyor and finally into a bin located on top of the coke ovens on top of the ovens and passing under the bin is a larry car which receives its charge of twelve tons from the overhead bin travels along over the tops of the ovens to the one which is to be charged the lids are removed and the coal drops into the hot oven continued on sixth page the heat is supplied by a gas jet which burns in a space between the ovens similar in principle to the women's club meeting the chinese students club held a banquet in the eagle hotel last wednesday evening at eight o'clock to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the chinese repub lic the banquet hall was decor ated with chinese and american flags all the

by winning two out of the three contests in the annual founder's day sports the foot ball game was won by the sopho mores by a 7-0 score and the relay race went to the freshmen in the time of three minutes and fifty four seconds so that the baseball game proved to be the deciding factor in determining the winner of the sports and also whether the freshmen should be permitted to discard their class caps on sun days the baseball game resulted in a 6-1 victory for the freshmen in a game which was held to five in nings due to the late hour at which it was started the freshmen by winning the

first period the quarter ending with the ball in the pos session of the sophomores near the center of the field during the second quarter the play remained near the center of the field until near the end of the period when on a series of line plunges and a well executed forward pass the freshmen advanced the ball to the 15-yard line only to have the period end before any scoring could be done the freshmen outplayed the sophomores during the first half as they were able to gain more consistently and played together somewhat more smoothly the second half began with the freshmen kicking off the sopho mores were soon forced to punt after which the freshmen ad vanced the ball from their 40-yard line to the 12-yard line where they were held ! for downs the fresh men soon after recovered a fumble but were again held for downs when the sophomore line held like 9 stone wall on the five-yard line gonzales punted from behind his goal line after which hess at tempted a field goal for the fresh men from the 20-yard line but failed the quarter ended with the ball in the freshmen's possession on the 33-yard line soon after the beginning of the last period carpenter the fresh man half back fumbled and knerr recovered the ball and dashed 70 yards for a touchdown g-onzales kicked the goal the freshmen tried desperately to tie the score during the remainder of the period but when the whistle blew 1 for the end of the game the score was still 7-0 in favor of the soplromores the line-up and summary : freshmen positions sophs harris l.e bellman continued on fifth page the lehigh
