ENG1NEERING SOCIETY J. .N. At'thwr, Editor The engineering students were t tunate in having Dr. L. I. ' v es, of the. Office of Public Roads, to deliver a series of four lectures on road constuction and management. His first lec ture-was on "Bituminous Mater ials in 'Road COnstruction and ""Maintenanee." This was-a very interesting lecture giving the history of the development of the use:of bituminous material since the advent Of the automobile. The second, "Public Borrow ing for Highways," was most interesting. He showed that the' average community. could economically pay $9,000 per mile e for permanent improvements. The third. ard fourth lectures 0~ dealt with the different systems of iaintenance of the patrol sys tem. Last week Mr. C. C. Whitta ker gave the engineers a lecture -: on reinforced concrete. He c showed the use of reinforced concrete in all types of construe tion, especially of bridges. Y. M. C. A. NEWS Sec. King for the second time favored the Y. M. C. A. with an illustrated lecture. The sec ond was similar. to the one de livered on China . the previous meeting. The brilliant and rap .1 commercial and industrial growth of the 'little yellow peo ple' since the doors of progress were opened for them by Com modore Perry was depicted in striking colors on the screen. The interlocking influence of Christi anity was emphasized - along with this growth. The conditions of the Japanese children in the mission schools with their .. new freedom, such as free unbound feet, saner customs, and oppor tunity for common happiness an3 enlightment"" were contrast ed with their, previous miserable conditions and cruel customs. One of the striking features brought out was the wonderful amount of good that has been accomplished thru the effective work of the medical mission aries. A wonderful field for real service is open here. Thous ands of these yellow people go to their death thru the pitiful ignorance of their supposed doctors, who with -long needles pretend to run the evil spirits out of the body thru their hel lish means of torture.. Mr. King merits much credit for procuring these interesting slides and talks. Only a small audience was present Wednesday evening due to the parade that celebrated the victory over ~Wideon. OSCAR PLAXICO RUNS AT RELAY CARNIVAL Will Enter the 100 and 22( .Yard Dashes. Oscar Plaxico, Star footbal and baseball player of Carolint and often ascribed - the fastes man in the State, will enter tht Intercollegiate Relay Rae Carni val to be held May 1 at Franklir Field, Philadelphi.
