quote: "The men taking the stud
ent's training courses ae put to work
in the various manufacturing depart
ments under the particular supervi
sion of the plant manager and the
employment manager. They are
given every opportunity to learn the
technicalities of the business, but
while this continues, they get to
know what work is and they are gain
ing a perspective which cannot other
wise be secured.
"As long as he is a student, he
draws a salary which is not highh, but
which is considerably more than bare
living expenses. When he is taken
from the training course ihe is in
cerased in salary according to his own
merits and abilities."
From Corey's letter we quote: "The
opportunity is a rare one for the
average college man in that he has
an opportunity to learn in a reason
ably short time, every feature of the
packing business. Considering this
fact that this organization is growing
so rapidly, this proposition is a dandy
one for a college graduate who lias
a desire to get into industrial work."
Depend Upon College Men.
To show that the institution is de
pending a great deal upon college
training Corey states that the first
vice-president of the company is a
Princeton mam and says that the
Bureau of Employments at Yale and
other such organizations are working
with the firm. Quoting, him further:
"I am very interested in getting
hold of some of these young men who
graduate in February, for during the
winter months we are on our heavy
killing season, when a student would
perhaps have a greater opportunity
to become acquainted with the pack
ing game. Should you be able to
suggest any names, we will immedi
ately start lining them up.
Help For Deserving Chaps.
"I am most desirous of doing some
thing for some deserving chaps who
have had a hard row to hoe in their
college work and in securing their
education. I believe that such fellows
are the ones who have broadened
themselves and are perhaps the best
'material for executives in the busi
ness world."
Corey never loses interest in Ne
braska and her athletic standing. He
says of the basketball games played
by the Huskers during the last of
December and the first of January:
"I noted with pleasure the results of
the basketball game against Illinois
Nebraska has built itself an enviable
reputation throughout the country by
just such performances.
"I am getting so far away from
University affairs that this letter is
much the same as the cry from a
drowning sailor. Frankly, I am very
much Interested in University affairs
and how things are going at the old
school, as Is my wife, formerly Miss
LLyford, of Falls City."
Any stuednt who will be graduated
In February and who is Interested in
this training course should see Dean
Engberg at once and make a thorough
Investigation of the opportunity.

Director Luehring is very anxious
to mrike this one of the greatest
basketball seasons Nebraska has ever
known. With a big schedule for this
year, if every loyal Husker turns out,
Nebraska will be able to bring some
of the greatest teams in the country
to Lincoln next year.
Tickets Good for Dance.

EVERY incandescent lamp has a filament. Mount a metal
plate on a wire in thelamp near the filament. A current
leaps the space between the filament and the plate when the
filament glows.
Edison first observed this phenomenon in 1883. Hence it was
called the "Edison effect."
Scientists long studied the "effect" but they could not explain
it satisfactorily. Now, after years of experimenting with Crookes
tubes, X-ray tubes and radium, it is known that the current that
leaps across is a stream of "electrons" exceedingly minute particles
negatively charged with electricity.
These electrons play an important part in wireless communica
tion. When a wire grid is interposed between the filament and the
plate and charged positively, the plate is aided in drawing electrons
across; but when the grid is charged negatively it drives back the elec
trons. A very small charge applied to the grid, as small as that re
ceived from a feeble wireless wave, is enough to vary the electron
stream.
So the grid in the tube enables a faint wireless impulse to control
the very much greater amount of energy in the flow of electrons, and
so radio signals too weak to be perceived by other means become per
ceptible by the effects that they produce. Just as the movement of
a throttle controls a great locomotive in motion, so a wireless wave,
by means of the grid, affects the powerful electron stream.
All this followed from studying the mysterious "Edison effect"
a purely scientific discovery.
No one can foresee what results will follow from research in pure
science. Sooner or later the world must benefit practically from the
discovery of new facts.
For this reason the Research Laboratories of the General Electric
Company are concerned as much with investigations in pure science
as they are with the improvement of industrial processes and products.
They, too, have studied the " Edison effect " scientifically. The result
has been a new form of electron tube, known as the "pliotron", a type
of X-ray tube free from the vagaries of the old tube; and the "kene
tron", which is called by electrical engineers a "rectifier" because it
has the property of changing an alternating into a direct current.
All these improvements followed because the Research Labora
tories try to discover the "how" of things. Pure science always
justifies itself.
