ed to fit students for three occupa-
tions. The elementary course teaches
the future poultry raiser to treat the
chickens well. The second was begun
at the suggestion of H. l.. Shrader, a
1914 graduate of the College of Agri-
culture, who was given a Govern
ment position. His work consisted
mainly in the commercial handling OF
poultry and eggs; so a course in
marketing the poultry product is
given. The third course is in poultry
judging.
There is but one woman in the
poultry department this year, and
she is no beginner in poultry study.
Miss Helen Smith, a senior in the Col
lege of Agriculture, strongly believes
in women's rights on the farm. She
has had four courses in the poultry
department and now is topping them
of with a course in poultry judging.
II. l.. Kempster, director OF the
poultry department. is convinced that
the poultry courses are becoming
popular each year. The students are
inclined to look a little askance at
our attempts to make poultry experts
of them" he said, but we are max
ing the courses so attractive that stu
dents are glad to continue the work"

THE ELECTRIC LIGHTS BIRTHDAY

~ all the marvels Edison has
wrought, putting the Waite
~ into the Great White Way
is perhaps the greatest. II j.
therefore not without rcason that the
celebration Of Edison day. on October
-. his year. will be mainly an cN-
position of the ondecs of ~incandcs-
cen lighting. For one a year the
great army of electrical workers glori-
fy their leader with high iinks.
Edison day is not IA commemora-
ton of the inventors birth. hut OF
the anniversary Of his first successful
attempt 10 make a carbon flament
glow inside of "A glass bulb 10y running
a current of electricity through it.
That was on October Il. 1879. and
the story of the development Of the
~inCandesccnt light after that expert
mental triumph il tully as WONDER
ful as the experiment was. though
that itself was the elimination Of
fifteen months of continuous toll.
The hltmcnt ne used then was SIM
ply "a scrap of p- per which he had
baked IN AN ovcn TIL all its elements
had passed away excepting its carbon
frame work, for this was before he
had discovered the availability Of car
BOMBED bamboo. After its discovery
the latter substance was used for
about ten years in making tilaments
for commercial lamps, This was fol-
lowed 10y the 'suuirtcd' tilament en-
ployiug ~carbonized c~ellulose' in one
form or another.
Next came the metallzed carbon
hlament, then the pressed tungsten
filament, and finally the special form
OF drawn tungsten wire used IN mod
ern Edison Mazda lamps. Working
down from "A consumption of four or
five watts of electrical energy per
~candlepower in Edison carbon fila
mcnt lamps to the standard a few
| years ago of $40 watts per candle
power, the Mazda lamp has brought
this down In about five years to about
one wait. while in the large sizes of
Mazda gas filled lamps, the reduction
in current consumption has reached
the low level of nearly "A half watt
per candlepowcr.
Edison practically began his expert
mcnts in electric lighting in Scptem-
Der, 1873. Just previously to this he
had returned from a visit to IA Con-
necticut factory where an electric arc
lamp vas used, which concentrated his
thoughts ON the subject of lighting by
electricity, and he determined to tackle
the problem. Speaking OF his entrance
into the field. Edison has said; "In
those days II was easy to soc what
electric lighting n~ceded-it wanted to
be subdivided. The lights were 'toO
