Seniors At Work On Theses

The senior students in mechan-
ical engineering are devoting con-
siderable of their time to their
thesis work. Messrs. McNeal and
Dougherty have erected 6 in. by
6 in. Ingersoll- Rand air compressor,
on which they will run a series of
complete efficiency tests. Messrs.
Hoch and Herne will determine the
heat distribution in a four horse
power gasoline engine. Part Of
their work will also include efficien-
cy tests and a determination Of the
amount of unburned fuel, it any,
that escapes from the engine.
Messrs. Mccall, Brown and Messick
will make a complete efficiency test
of a twelve horsepower Sturtevant
steam turbine direct connected to a
high pressure gas blower. For this
purpose they will use torsion
meter which makes use of beam OF
light to measure the power develop
ed by the turbine. This piece of
apparatus has been designed and
constructed by the mechanical en-
gineering department.

DELAWARE NIGHT" AT
WILMINGTON Y. M. c. A.

Saturday evening, February IA,
was Delaware Night" at the Will
mington Y. M. G. A. This was the
third of the series Of college
nights given by college alumni
and students for the High School
Boys Club Of the Y. M. G. A. for
the purpose Of arousing among the
boys of Wilmington a strong col
lege spirit. 1t is significant that
the attendance on Delaware night
exceeded the combined attendance
on pennsylvania Night and "Cor-
nell Night
The principal speaker of the ev-
ening was ex-Congressman W. H..
Heald, 'S5. Mr.. Heald discussed at
some length the advantages of Del
aware College for Wilmington boys,
then commended Delaware College
spirit, and closed with some inter-
esting and amusing anecdotes OF
his own student days. Different
phases Of college life and work at
Delaware were explained and dis
cussed by students of the College.
G. E. Grubb, IA, president of the
college athletic association, spoke
on "Athletics at Delaware Col
lege"; A. H. Dean, IA, spoke on
"The Social Side of College Life /;
E. w. Loomis, IA, spoke on Mill
tary Life at Delaware and l.. g.
S. Dorsey, Is, told of the place
held in the life Of the undergrad
uate by the various technical and
literary societies. DR.. Vaughn,
professor Of history, made a few
extemperaneous remarks concern
ing the work and influence Of the
college.

Enrolment Has Begun

At the request Of DR.. Chas. A.
Wagner, State Commissioner OF
Education, the Newark Board OF
Education has granted the use OF
one of the grade rooms for the
Model School to be conducted IN
conjunction with the Summer
School for Teachers at Delaware
College. This school will be IN
charge of a competent teacher es-
pecially selected for the purpose
and will be open for the full term
of six weeks. The Fairgrounds III
the rear of the building will be pro-
vided with especial equipment and
an attempt vii be made to direct
the pupils in their play as well as
in their studies. This feature
should prove a great attraction, es-
pecially to the younger pupils
The purpose Of the school requires
that the pupils be distributed thru
all the grades from the first to the
eighth inclusive; accordingly, the
number that will be permitted to
enroll in any one grade, will neces-
sarily be limited.
The school will offer those pupils
who have shown themselves weak III
one or two subjects, while other
wise able to do the work Of their
grade, a rare opportunity to rem
edv any such deficiency. Every
Grade of the Public School always
contains several such pupils who at
the end of the year either fail OF
promotion or are promoted on trial
with results seldom satisfactory.
While the object Of the school is
primarily to provide the student
teachers observation lessons III ap-
nroved methods of school manage
ment and teaching, the particular
needs Of the individual pupils Will
not be neglected. A complete, re-
cord of the school work OF each pu'
nil will be given the teacher ID
charge and emphasis will be placed
mon that branch Of study or part
Of the work where the pupil mas
shown the greatest need of assist
ance. The Principal has consented
70 cooperate in selecting desirable
n,,pils and has already received
several applications. interested
narents are invited to communicate
with him for any further lnforma
ton.

Plans For A Greater Militia

There is a plan now on foot to
recruit the Organized Militia of
Delaware up to 12-company regl-
ment, owing to the provision OF the
recent Dick bill. 1t is expected that
an effort will be made to have the
next Legislature make a sufficient
appropriation for the purpose.
Secretary Of War Garrison, ac-
cording to a dispatch from Wash
ington, has agreed to make a tenn
porary exception in the case OF
Delaware, to allow it's eight COM
panies to constitute regiment on
condition that the State Legislature
bring the militia organization up to
the numerical requirements OF a
regiment as soon as practicable.
This was done at the request OF
Governor Charles R. Miller, who
yesterday asked Secretary Garrl-
son to grant this exception.
Governor Miller was accompan-
led on the Washington trip by Ad-
iutant-General Wickersham, but
both declined to make a statement
at this time.

THOROUGH WORK OF
THE SMALL COLLEGE

On Monday Mr.. F. S. Balyeat of
the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Co., Of Pittsburgh,
visited the Mechanical and Elec-
trical engineering department for
the purpose of securing young men
to go with his company. After max
ing a thorough inspection OF the
equipment of the department and
investigating the methods Of in
struction employed, he expressed
himself as highly pleased with the
plant and the work done. He made
a short address to the senior stu
dents in which he congratulated
them because they had received
their training in small institution
like Delaware College. He said
that he firmly believed the small
colleges did better and more thor
ough work than the large universl-
ties. He impressed upon the stu
dents the fact that after spending
four years and from $500 to $4,000
in getting technical training they
will find it worth their while to
take up a student course with a
large company until they can find
Just the kind of work for which
they are best fitted. There are, he
said, six kinds of work which an en-.
gineer may take up: % design
~ manufacturing efficiency, (3)
testing, az application, (5) cree
ton, (6) operation. He concluded
by saying that after six months
work in such a student course, sew
enty per cent Of the men chang
their minds and take up differen
phase of engineering work from
that upon which they had first de
cided.
After Mr.. Balyeat had finished
his talk, S. M. Shallcross and E. W
Loomis, Of the senior class In engl
neering, signifed their intention o
starting with the Westinghous
Company after their graduation
from college next June.

Harry J. S. On
Grand Circuit
Local Racer Goes South

Herman R. Tyson has just re-
turned from trip to Thomasville,
Georgia, where w. j. Andrews, the
noted trainer and driver is winter
ing the horses Of the Pastime Stab
les Of Cleveland, Ohio. Acting for
Harry j. Stoeckle of Wilmington,
Mr.. Tyson made arrangements with
Mr.. Andrews, whereby the latter
will drive Mr.. Stoeckle s stallion,
Harry j. S., 2.11 IA, on the Grand
Circuit, during the coming season.
He is entered in the 2.12 class
stakes through the Grand Circuit
which opens in Cleveland, July 20.
Mr.. Stoeckle desired to have Har
ry j. S. go over the mile tracks,
but as Mr.. Tyson would be unable
to leave his business in connection
with a large stable Of half-mlle
track horses for so long time 1t
was mutually agreed that some one
else should be secured to drive him.
Mr.. Tyson represented Mr.. Stoeckle
in making the final arrangements
with Mr.. Andrews, one OF the best
known horsemen in the country.
The latter will take his stable from
Thomasville north the first OF May
and Harry j. S. will be shipped
from here at that time to join the
stable in Cleveland.
Harry j. S. was the champion
stallion trotter over half-mile tracks
last year. In the three seasons that
Mr.. Tyson has driven him Harry }
S. has won 20 out of 26 races that
he started in. He has never beer
out of the money in any race IN
cluding the several that he started
in on the Grand Circuit last year
The colts owned by Mr.. Stoecklt
will be worked out this spring Oh
the Wawaset track, Wilmington
by A. H. Tyson, father Of the loca
trainer. Joseph X. S., 2.lS IA
and others of the Stoeckle horses
that may be good enough to race
over half-mile tracks, will remain
in HI. r. Tyson S stable here.

Newark Enjoys
Winter Sport
Exciting Brushes On Main Street

For the last two days bells have
been jingling merrily along Main
street, and a number Of exciting
brushes have attracted interested
spectators to the town. 1t was be-
lieved there would be no sport Of
this kind this winter, owing to the
rough condition of the streets, fol-
lowing the installation Of the sew
er, but Main street, between the two
railroads, is found to be in fair con-
dition. Laurels so far, have gone
to Victor G. Willis, proprietor OF
the Washington House, won by his
mare Gertrude B. Others out were
Thomas Green, with Silver Queen ;
Frank Goodwin, with Newsboy ;
George johnson, with fast bay
horse, and Homer Vansant with
his dun horse.
In 1911 and '12, Della March,
owned by former Levy Courtman
Daniel Thompson, was recognized
as queen of the snowpath and de.
feated all comers. Should the
snow last for several days, there are
many fast horses in the locality
who will doubtless contest for the
championship.

GROWING SOY
BEANS in DELAWARE

During the past three years the
department Of agronomy OF Della
ware College has introduced among
farmers Of the State practically
new crop-the soy bean. Previous
attempts at growing the soy bean
in Delaware had been unsatlsfac-
tory owing to the fact that the va
rieties then on the seed market
were not we'll adapted to Delaware
conditions.
Cooperative work with soy beans
was begun in the spring OF l9ll.
Four-pound lots of seed were then
sent to applicants throughout the
State. Each package was accom-
panied by full directions for plant,
ing. fertilizing, cultivating, and
harvesting the crop. The grower
was in turn asked to report the
weld The largest yield of beans
v was reported by Mr.. J. G. Cowgirl
of Dover, who harvested $40 pounds
or 9 bushels, from the four pounds
of seed planted. Several other
farmers reported yields OF more
than six bushels. ,,-
During the past three years, go
men have co-operated with the Tx
neriment Station in growing soy
heans AS a result, the seed OF the
varieties distributed have become
we'll scattered throughout the zen
insula. 1t has been found that the
Wilson soy bean is the best for Del
aware, and Delaware is rapidly oe-
coming known as headquarters 1of
this variety. Before the co-opera-
tive work was taken up, the depart,
ment of agronomy Of Delaware col.
leoe had tested for four years Sixty
varieties of soy beans with tne re-
sniff that the suitability to soil ano
climate conditions Of the varieties
sant ont was accurately known

Convention.

The annual State Convention of the

ent Chapters all over the State will at
tend and preparations are being made
for big time. A number of the ladies

making plans to attend.
Charles Town, the place which has
been selected for this convention lends
itself admirably to it, as it is rich in
the traditions which surround the early
history of the State and the important
part it played in the Civil War. More
than that, the townwas connected with
many important events of Revolution
airy times and the years following the
Revolution. 1t was the scene of the
marriage of Dolly Todd Payne to Presi-

Valley Expects a Big Apple
Crop.

Richmond, Va, July 23.-Apple
growers in the Valley of Virginia have
already begun negotiations with the
State Corporation commission looking
to the apple crop in the Valley Of Vir-
ginia Two or three of the large or
chard owners have sent letters to the
commission declaring that the indica-
tions are that the greatest crop the
state has ever seen will be gathered
this season, that it is important that
trains be provided to handle the crop,
and asking the commission to intercede
with the railroads so that there will be
no lack of transportation.
The commission already has taken
the matter up and the roads have as
sured the commission that every facili-
ty will be offered the apple growers:
Ten thousand barrels day will be, Of
fered for shipment along about October
and the whole section of the State in
which fruit growing is attended with
care will get more money for apples
than ever.
