SCIENTISTS MAY TRY TO HARNESS
 ENERGY OF SUN

New York, Sept. 12-The problem how to harness the energy of the sun so as to utilize it for the direct bene- nt or man was presented to the chem 1StS of the United States and Great Britain here today by Dr. L. H. Baeke- land, honorary professor of chemical engineering in Columbia University. He was speaking at an international meeting of the Society of Chemical Industry of Great Britain and of the American Chemical Society He pointed out the necessity of chemical research for the advancement of American industry and warned manu- lecturers against diScontnu1ng that work during the present period of business depression.
 Speaking on the problem of how to utilize the rays of the sun, he briefly told how these rays acting upon plant life produce sugars. starch, ceIfu1ose and other foods. He said; No sun, no crops, no life. So that, after all, the whole living world is dependent upon a delicate photochemcia1 re- action.
 Our vast coal beds and our petroleum wells and our natural gas are merely the result of light energy stored up from the plant or animal life of former geological periods. This, in itself, ought to impress us with the enormous poSslpl1t1eS of photochemical synthesis ana yet, here is a field where the scientist or en- gineer has accomplished next to nothing. In the utilization of this marvellous energy, we have not gone beyond the art of making photo graphs.

The Normal boys still feel the sting of defeat at Wins low, and are determined that they will close the season with a decisive victory. However, they realize that they have a hard game before them, as they succeeded in beating Clark dale by but one point. The Clarkdale team will leave here Friday for a game with Winslow that night.
 The Philomathian Literary society presented the play, "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals" by Barrie, in Ashurst auditorium last Tuesday night. The play was well attended and enjoyed by all present.
 President McMullen announces that the plans for the combined summer school of the Normal and University are practically completed, and that the catalog annoucing the courses and instructors will be out within the next few weeks. The summer term fol- lows immediately the close of the spring quarter, and will consist of but one session daily, starting at zoo a. m. and closing at l:00 p. m. Students as well as faculty are much pleased with this arrangement. The plans also include a series of lectures to be given in the auditorium at night by eminent educators.
