Contrary to all expectations, everyone was at the P. E. station on time and the trip to Rubio canyon was uneventful except for the excitement caused by the loss of two members of (he party who were lost in Pasadena. They were found later trying to find seme of the oranges that California is noted for.
The incline gave the moet varied assortment of thrills. Even the continued assurance of the conductor that there was no danger did not help some of the erstwhile mountaineers. Others appreciated the view and still others talked and looked at folder3 all the way up California’s most interesting trip.
After Alpine Tavern was reached every one coupled off and amused themselves according to their own tastes. The free pool table at the Tavern was the main attraction for some oi the men and it has been rumored that one husky weilder of the cue paid his expenses for the whole day by his luck at “Kelly pool.”
Nearly everyone took the last car from the Tavern so as to see the lights from the valley, and arrived home late, tired but very enthused and full of anticipation for the next excursion which is to be to Catalina Island.

“The Japanese are growing out of the ancient idea that w^mm are animals,” said Mrs. Blanks, “and are beginning to give their women the advantages of a college education. Among the few educational institutions for women in Japan are the Women’s Union Christian College and the Methodist Girls’ School at Tokjo. Both of these institutions ‘ are so crowded that hundreds of girls are turned away every year. On their short vacations these college giris go in bodies to worthwhile places.” She urged that college wo-1 men show sisterly attention to the girls from Japan who attend our American colleges.
JAPANESE LIKE MOVIES f The Japanese children are very fond of the movies,” Mrs. Blanks continued, “but those which they see are of the cheaper, sensational sort,1 this giving the Japanese a wrong impression of Americans.

Science building is now nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy at the opening of the fall semester. The new building will house the same departments, and the additional departments that are now in
cthe green shack.
The new structure is only a part of the proposed science building that will eventually occupy the entire block. Later, an addition on the north end of the new structure will be built to house the physics and biology departments. The building will be structly modern, and will rank equal to any laboratory in the west, it is said, for there will be special facilities available for industrial chemistry and research work. It is believed this will meet the growing needs for chemical engineers in 'Southern California cours-esh such as advanced inorganic chemistry, advanced organic chemistry and physical chemistry will be available for students who desire courses in pure science.
The special features in the new building will be the airy, well lighted lecture rooms, each equipped with a separate preparation room. There will be a large chemical library included, equipped with source materials and current periodicals pertaining to chemical and pharmaceutical work. A unique feature of the laboratory will be the system of forced ventilation with which it will be possible to change the air every four or five minutes. Steam, compressed a4r, vacuum, and direct alternating current will be available is each laboratory.
The pharmacy department will have space and euipment for regular pharmacy courses in addition to a dispensing laboratory. The department will offer higher courses in pharmacy leading to a degree in pharmaceutical chemistry, and also to a higher degree of B. S. in pharmacy.
