President Jordan of Stanford univer-
sity, California is hard worker him
self, and has but little patience with a
person with indolent habits. In spite
OF everything, however. the tasks i'm
posed on the youths under his care
have proven too much for them. Here
and there one or two would drop out
of the race and We're soon forgotten by
almost everybody at the university
These fallings by the wayside were the
subject OF frequent thought on the
part OF John J. levin, chief electrician
of the university, whose misfortune it
was to have a special friend drop out
through inability to maintain the pace.
Mr. Levin set himself TO the task of
discovering some way of giving back
ward students such aid as would pre-
vent them from falling behind. That
was five years ago, and Mr.. levin is
now ready to give the necessary stimu
lent IN such cases. His Investigations

Paris is a great consumer Of eggs,
and the fastidious Frenchman wants
his eggs to be perfectly fresh-say a
day old at the most. To make sure
that his eggs are fresh he puts about
six ounces of common cooking salt
in a deep glass holding water enough
to barely dissolve the salt. When the
salt is dissolved an egg is dropped into
the solution. and this is the test: If
the egg sinks to the bottom of the
glass at once it is not more than day
old. If it lacks about an inch Of touch
ing the bottom it is two days old. If it
sinks only a little below the surface II
is three days old, and if it floats on the
surface it is at least five days old; the
higher it rides the older the egg.

to know if Christ was the only son

Miss Hasbrouck declined to make
public a statement. She was appointed
