NEW YORK, June 20.--After a

ascribed to selling by spectators

The attendance for the six days

did upwards Of s1O,OO0,0OO in business
transactions.
The exhibits, without doubt the
most complete and elaborate ever
shown, were valued at $4,000, 900. The
enthusiasm became SO great the sec

State College Draws N
More Women Student.

More women are enrolled at the
State College of Washington this
fall than in Radcliffe or Mount Hol-
yoke. Barnard College, New York
City, mas only little more than 800
students, where w. S. G. has 900 wo-
men. Nearly twice as many girls at
tend Washington State as are at Mills
College, Calf, Elmira College, N. Y,
or Bryn Mawr, Pa There are almost
three times as many as at Russell
Sage, N. Y.
Even the largest women's colleges
in the country, such as Vassar and
women than are enrolled at the State
College of the most northwest state,
Vassar having less than $50 more en-
rolled.
A statistical survey of this years
enrolment of all the women's colleges
in the United States shows that the
total students enrolled in 16 colleges
in ten Western and Middle Western
states is hardly more than five times
the w. S. G. women's enrolment.
There are more thanSat any one Of the
women's colleges in California, Colo
RADIO, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio or Min

There are only ten more students
in the combined enrolment of Notre

ALI the 13 women's colleges in New

than three times the women in w. s.

The excellence of the school OF

rapid growth in enrolment of women

Highways Are Becoming
Universities for Public

When the Lincoln Highway Associ-
alton, for ten years a leader in high
way affairs in this country, conceived
the idea of developing an ideal section
Of the great transcontinental road,
centrally located and exemplifying the
most modern practices in highway de-
sign and construction, it called to-
gether probably aus competent com
mittee of technicians in the field of
highway engineering as could be gath
cred in the United States. These men
designed the roadway. But the asso-
citation did not fail to include on its
technical committee men competent
to stress also the aesthetic side Of the
proposed enterprise. Architects and
landscape architects "sat in" on the
deliberations which led up to the
formulation of the ideal" design.
Was there clash Of viewpoints?
There was not. Every one of those
engineers and highway officials en-
gagged in the expenditure of hundreds
or millions or the peoples dollars in
highway Improvement, agreed on the
desirability of roadside identification
The result was that the associa
TONS landscape architect was giver
free rein to work out am ideal setting
for this ideal roadway-with the full
approval of the engineers and high
way commissioners who took care o.
the engineering side of the construc
ton. Safety, adequacy, permanency
economy, were stressed-but so also
was beauty.
This is a hopeful sign. Our high
ways, with their teeming millions Of
motorists each season, are becoming
vast universities for the American
public. Along these roads our citizens
learn our country and each other
geography, history and the amenities
The things to be learned along a drive
between the Atlantic and the Pacific
are things which cannot be learned
from textbook. Beauty should not
be excluded from the curriculum.

Government Owns Secret
OF New Radio Receiver

Officers of the Signal Corps of the
United States Army are now sitting
in their headquarters in Washington
with a radio receiving set in front Of
them and as far as they are concerned
there is no broadcasting, no powerful
Arlington navy station-no other mes
sages going through the ether, in fact,
than the constant stream Of advices,
confirmation Of orders and the like,
coming from the army posts scattered
throughout the nation.
This receiving set establishes a
worlds record for sensitivity, selectiv-
ity and power, and is the product Of
many months Of experiments.
The problem of devising such a re-
ceiver that could bring in messages
from the army stations and eliminate
everything else, was put before the
radio manufacturers Of the United
States year ago. The set was to re.
ceive on wave lengths from 1000 to
5000 meters and nothing else with the
use of the signal corps loop antenna.
The engineering department OF the
Freed Eisemann Radio Corporation
produced the receiver that the gov.
eminent accepted and which is now
performing the required service.
The experiments In the Freed Else
mann laboratories lasted six months
and the first test in Washington was
a complete success.
The receiver itself is built like 9
safe. The entire cabinet is made Of
heavy metal. Each stage is shielded
by solid metal wall SO that each
stage is virtually a Theoretically seal
ed compartment with its tuning ele
ment. Yet the receiver weighs only
rs pounds. The purchase price /,
understood to be well In the four Zig
