Stu dents of Esperanto may have the pleasure of corresponding with per sons in all these lands. Mr. D. E. Parrish of California, was sent out by the Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles for the purpose of ad vertising Southern California as a mecca for settlers and he traveled throughout the continent of Europe portions of Africa and Asia, equipped with stereopticon slides and using no language but Esperanto and found au diences everywhere which could un derstand. Los Angeles received thou sands of inquiries from across the water as a result of his^ visit. Esperanto clubs eyist in nearly all large cities and national and interna tional congresses are held frequently. A national congress was held in Chi cago in July of this year which made plans for a grand demonstration at the San Francisco Exposition. Ameri cans who speak Esperanto may have the extraordinary privilege of meeting and conversing with men from many nations at the Exposition. CREDIT FOR MOVIES. Perhaps the most enjoyable stir- prise in store for the returning cadets was the nightly picture shows during the first week. This indeed helped greatly to relieve the feelings of num erous Freshmen, as well as of a few of the old students. Four reels were shown every night. These were very welcome, as without classes and regu lar study hours th boys had lots of time to contend with. These shows are given complimentary to the corps and the campus folks every Saturday night and are being conducted by the M. E. Department under the direct supervision and management of Prof. Fermier. It will be the aim of the management to run such films throughout the year as to make the shows of interest to everybody. Oc casionally “instructive” films will be thrown on the screen, but they will be of such a nature that will hold the in terest of the entire audience. As us ual the shows start promptly at 7:30 on every Saturday night. Everybody invited. TAKING NOTES IN SHORTHAND. You can get a complete set of notes only by taking down everything the speaker says.

EHGIHEEMNG BUGHUNTERS ARE OFFERED EN GINEERING SUBJECTS IN AD DITION TO OWN. PROF. GEE DESERVES CREDIT Beginning this year Junior and Sen ior agricultural students may specia lize in agricultural engineering. This new course will be given by E. C. Gee, associate professor of Agronomy. It is remarkable the amount of appara tus and laboratory material Prof. Gee has added to the agricultural engineer ing laboratory for this new course since his coming to the College in April, 1913. Within twelve months he had secured principally on loan account and donation over $25,000.00 worth of farm machinery, traction engines,etc. He is receiving a number of new en gines, and farm machines every week. The course will niclude farm survey ing, farm machinery, farm building, irrigation, drainage, gas engines, farm tractors, powers and pumps, auto mobiles, etc. For the automobile work the students already have a 35 H. P. Studebaker chassis built especially for laboratory study. Sections are cut out of the cylinders, differentials, pumps, etc., making the entire mechanism easy studied. In the traction engine work the students will have at least one of nearly all the leading traction engines now maufactured in the U. S. to op erate and study. Among the new en gines in the stationary gas engine di vision of the laboratory is a crude oil engine that operates without any igni tion system. It has no magneto, electric spark, or hot point ignition. The charge is exploded by compress ion. As an example of what a college graduate may do, it is very interest ing to note the work of Prof. Gee at this college. He came here in April 1913 without any degree. He was a member of the class of T3 of the Uni versity of Nebraska. He began work here as an instructor in the Agronomy Department. This year he was made associate professor of Agronomy in charge of the Agricultural Engineer ing work. He is a member of the American Society of Agricultural En gineers, and known to all of the lead ing machinery and implement in the United States.
