Stud'Hts from the south are attract'd by the C(X)1 .lUmnier wea¬ ther and by the reputation and staiulin? of the College. The main six-weeks term of the Summi'i- SrsMin. which opened on Monday, followed tho three week's liiler-Session la which 300 student'^ werf enrolled for lnteii-.lve courses of luic til thi'e> weeks duration.

"The t'l'owiim jxipiiUii ilv oi these iConllnued on Ijist Page) Blotcli has long been trouble- .'onie in the Midwestern and Wi-st- ern States, and now it works in the North and East. It has been found In Illinois. Maryland and New Eng¬ land. It is therefore well to be on the watch for It. Apple blotch, the well-named star- fungus of our orchards, is separate and distinct from black scab on tho fruit. Tile name "star-fungus' Is a good one, as it characterizes by shape the .spot on apples and marks It as different from -scab spot. More¬ over, blotch is a disease of twigs and side branches as well as of leaves and fruit. It lias been esti¬ mated that blotch causes on the average a loss of about 5 per cent of tlie apple crop. Appearance on Fruit Apple blotch disease first shows on apples about six weeks after the blossoms fall. At this time it is manifest by very sniall incon.spicu- ous brown specks have a stellate ap¬ pearance dtie to the collection of brown fibers just beneath the skin of the apple. The margin of the fruit spot ts fringed and irregular Sometimes the flrst blotch is dark brown with Irregular elevations. A few days after the blotches begin to show, black pimples may develop on the scars on the fruit. Apples that are much affected are likely to drop prematurely; so they make a midsummer los.s which conie.s after the June thinning has been done. On some varieties the skin cracks In midsummer or later as the dls- e.isc develops. SiKns on ThIks Blotch appears on other parts of the plant aside from the fruit.

Black, of Kirkwod, Pa., whose essay, "The Relation of Meat to Healtli", won flrst place in the state of Pennsyl¬ vania in the twelfth annual meat story contest sponsored by the Na¬ tional Live Stock and Meat Board. A total of 12,269 home economic students from 682 high schools of MISS FRANCES C. BLACK 48 states participated in this con¬ test. In her winning essay. Miss Black stressed the fact that meat is the main source of protein of the very highest quality; that protein is needed in the diet of every one, but it is especially valuable in the diet of the child, since it Is the body building material used for growth as well as repair of the body tissues. She also brought out that meat is a good source of iron and other es¬ sential food elements. "Meat has been blamed in the past for a long list of diseases,' Miss Black stated. "In the light of the newer knowledge of meat, these old theories hav? been discarded and meat in many cases has a place in the treatment of the very disea.ses it was once supposed ti cau.se. Meat is a great help in the treatment of anemic patients It also is being used in the diet of those with Bright's disease. Meat aids in digestion and since it ts rich in food values, it is used as the center of the menu'. The Merchants Oood Will Tour contest came to a clo.se yeUerday at noon with the credits running in the millions. With the stores closing at noon the contestants and the merchants were very busy yes- ^ terday morning cleaning up old ac- counts and distributing credits to favorites. | All credit coupons had to be drop¬ ped by or before noon and some of the ballot boxes were filled to capacity when they were collected by a member of the Item staff, j Many of the mer chants were out ^ of tickets before the closing hour and additional supplies had to be delivered Impromptu. The total num- J ber of tickets delivered and put into circulation was 34.000 valued at| more than 15.000.000 credits. It Is impossible at this time to ascertain the number of tickets held by the merchants at the closing hour, but| estimating it Is believed that the final count will reveal at least thlr teen thousand credits dr^tributed and collected by the contestants. | A last minute rush to overcome coiiipetitioii by the leaders started early yesterday morning. A canvass of all the co-operating stores was begun and telephone calls to friends and neighbors were numerous. Cars and chauffeurs were in demand and hurru'd calls were made thru the country districts collecting avail- j able credits. j Tlie Judges' count and re-check ^ will start Friday morning and they will count and count a long, long time before the winner can be an¬ nounced. However, their opinion i.s that the announ-ement can be made next Thursday, July 11th. The win¬ ner will be announced on the screen of the Broad Theatre as soon after the count as possible. Last, but not least, the judges' decision will ab.solutelv be final.

I Freshmen will be admitted to Penn State this fall to the number of approximately 1400, Mr. Hoffman said, the limitation being necessary because of lack of facilities to care properly for a greater number of students.

'To benefit from the sun's rays, exposure must be gradual," said Dr. Rothfuss. "Literally thousands of people, particularly adults, fail every summer to realize the sun's power and thus mar their two weeks of outing by discomfort and unneces¬ sary Illness. Worse, the Illness is often most serious. "The lure of sun bathing is in¬ dicated by the fact that the very people who have suffered from overdoses of the sun in past sum¬ mers often seem to forget such ex¬ periences entirely and rush into an¬ other orgy of sun bathing and into another ruined vacation. "Great Value" "The direct rays of the sun are of great value in the treatment of certain diseases, including types of tuljerculosis.

"The t'l'owiim jxipiiUii ilv oi these iConllnued on Ijist Page) Blotcli has long been trouble- .'onie in the Midwestern and Wi-st- ern States, and now it works in the North and East. It has been found In Illinois. Maryland and New Eng¬ land. It is therefore well to be on the watch for It. Apple blotch, the well-named star- fungus of our orchards, is separate and distinct from black scab on tho fruit. Tile name "star-fungus' Is a good one, as it characterizes by shape the .spot on apples and marks It as different from -scab spot. More¬ over, blotch is a disease of twigs and side branches as well as of leaves and fruit. It lias been esti¬ mated that blotch causes on the average a loss of about 5 per cent of tlie apple crop. Appearance on Fruit Apple blotch disease first shows on apples about six weeks after the blossoms fall. At this time it is manifest by very sniall incon.spicu- ous brown specks have a stellate ap¬ pearance dtie to the collection of brown fibers just beneath the skin of the apple. The margin of the fruit spot ts fringed and irregular Sometimes the flrst blotch is dark brown with Irregular elevations. A few days after the blotches begin to show, black pimples may develop on the scars on the fruit. Apples that are much affected are likely to drop prematurely; so they make a midsummer los.s which conie.s after the June thinning has been done. On some varieties the skin cracks In midsummer or later as the dls- e.isc develops. SiKns on ThIks Blotch appears on other parts of the plant aside from the fruit.

Black, of Kirkwod, Pa., whose essay, "The Relation of Meat to Healtli", won flrst place in the state of Pennsyl¬ vania in the twelfth annual meat story contest sponsored by the Na¬ tional Live Stock and Meat Board. A total of 12,269 home economic students from 682 high schools of MISS FRANCES C. BLACK 48 states participated in this con¬ test. In her winning essay. Miss Black stressed the fact that meat is the main source of protein of the very highest quality; that protein is needed in the diet of every one, but it is especially valuable in the diet of the child, since it Is the body building material used for growth as well as repair of the body tissues. She also brought out that meat is a good source of iron and other es¬ sential food elements. "Meat has been blamed in the past for a long list of diseases,' Miss Black stated. "In the light of the newer knowledge of meat, these old theories hav? been discarded and meat in many cases has a place in the treatment of the very disea.ses it was once supposed ti cau.se. Meat is a great help in the treatment of anemic patients It also is being used in the diet of those with Bright's disease. Meat aids in digestion and since it ts rich in food values, it is used as the center of the menu'. The Merchants Oood Will Tour contest came to a clo.se yeUerday at noon with the credits running in the millions. With the stores closing at noon the contestants and the merchants were very busy yes- ^ terday morning cleaning up old ac- counts and distributing credits to favorites. | All credit coupons had to be drop¬ ped by or before noon and some of the ballot boxes were filled to capacity when they were collected by a member of the Item staff, j Many of the mer chants were out ^ of tickets before the closing hour and additional supplies had to be delivered Impromptu. The total num- J ber of tickets delivered and put into circulation was 34.000 valued at| more than 15.000.000 credits. It Is impossible at this time to ascertain the number of tickets held by the merchants at the closing hour, but| estimating it Is believed that the final count will reveal at least thlr teen thousand credits dr^tributed and collected by the contestants. | A last minute rush to overcome coiiipetitioii by the leaders started early yesterday morning. A canvass of all the co-operating stores was begun and telephone calls to friends and neighbors were numerous. Cars and chauffeurs were in demand and hurru'd calls were made thru the country districts collecting avail- j able credits. j Tlie Judges' count and re-check ^ will start Friday morning and they will count and count a long, long time before the winner can be an¬ nounced. However, their opinion i.s that the announ-ement can be made next Thursday, July 11th. The win¬ ner will be announced on the screen of the Broad Theatre as soon after the count as possible. Last, but not least, the judges' decision will ab.solutelv be final.
