coach and physical direc tor gives good talk mr w b frames delivered a very interesting address to the y m c a in drown hall last sun day evening he chose as his topic hitting in the pinches mr frames is a graduate of the uni versity of pennsylvania played six years of professional baseball and coached the lafayette baseball team for three years he has recently returned from roumania where he has been engaged in y m c a work for the past seventeen months mr frames related some very in teresting experiences which • have occurred on the baseball diamond and applied them to the greatest game of all the game of life he said that one of the first essentials of a good batter was confidence in himself he must believe that he can connect with any style ball the pitcher throws to him in addition to confidence he must have nerve for when a man is up to bat he is subject to the jeers and taunts of spectators and he must come through at all costs to do this in the face of these difficulties re quires genuine nerve and lots of it said mr frames in mentioning professionalism in colleges mr frames said that the problem would never be solved un til the athletic heads of colleges re alized that it is a man's right to make use of his natural abilities in the summer-time to help earn mon ey to pay for his education just as students who are musically in clined may go out and earn money in the summer so the athlete should be allowed to earn money in ath letics during the summer one point which mr frames es pecially emphasized was the neces sity of correcting weaknesses which we have he cited 1 examples of baseball players who were worth less to the big leagues because of some one little fault which they could not correct he mentioned men notorious in crime who had corrected their weaknesses and had become good christian citizens civil meeting the paper making industry was the subject of an extremely in teresting and instructive talk given by dr r e rindfuss secretary of the

university of illinois and at one time had entire charge of the american writing paper company's laboratories he is at present secretary of the company he was eminently well qualified to discuss the subject from its various phases dr rindfuss began his talk by giving his audience a general idea of the inner workings of a paper mill he then went on to give a detailed account of the various raw materials used in the production of different grades of paper he said that wood pulp may be classified under two heads : first mechanical pulps and second chemical pulps the mechanical pulp is made from the wood of a whole tree it is used in the cheaper grades of pa per the chemical pulp which is obtained by cooking the wood to remove the ligaments is used in the better quality papers dr rindfuss then proceeded to de scribe the chemical processes used in the treatment of the pulps he said that there were two primary chemical treatments the acid and the alkaline treatments the acid process is given to pulps which are to be used in bond and writing pa pers while the alkaline treatment is given to the raw materials used in the production of strong bag papers dr rindfuss then went on to describe the different materials used in paper-making saying that up to the year 1880 omly rags were used in the manufacture of paper in the early production of paper the manufacturers were ashamed to use chemical wood pulp when continued on page two final meeting of arcadia on thursday the regular civil engineering society meeting will be held on wednesday evening at 7 : 30 o'clock in
