CLEAN TOWELS
ARE DEMANDED
President Wheeler Suggests
Numerous Measures for Pro-
tecting Health of Students
URGES NEED OF A HOSPITAL
Protests Made Against the
Change of Grade Proposed
Near the Affiliated Colleges

Clean towels are a crying need in the
University Of California, according to
the recommendations urged by Presi-
dent Wheeler before the regular meet
ing of the Board of Regents at the
Hopkins Art Institute yesterday after
noon. President Wheeler said That in
the gymnasiums of the university the
students supplied their own towels and
kept them vigorously in the line of
duty until they could be leaned against
a wall like a plank. Only on such a
showing are they sent to the laundry to
be mangled and made pliable again
AS a consequence of this procedure,
students are given to using towels be-
longing to their fellows that have not
attained a state of rigidity and nu-
merous cases of skin disease inocula-
tion have resulted. He recommended
that the towel supply in the baths of
the gymnasium be supervised by the
college authorities and that fee of 50
a year be charged against all students
belonging to the gymnasiums to insure
a supply of clean towels.
President Wheeler made several rec
concentrations in regard to the health
of the students. He wished that reg
ular examination be made by the col
lege bacteriologist of the three water
supplies of the institution to determine
whether or not the water supply was
perfectly pure. Further, he recon-
mended that students should have an
opportunity of subjecting themselves
70. i,,o ion wit h0I1f charge
whenever they felt i'll, in order to guard
against the introduction of infectious
diseases among the students.
WISHES A HOSPITAL.
Along the same lines, he asked the
regents to establish a hospital where
students who were without means for
hiring nurses and medical attendance
could be taken care of properly. He
cited several instances to show that
the illness of students was not any
body's business in particular and they
were left to suffer alone in improper
surroundings when they should be
given the best attention procurable.
He also recommended semi-annual
inspection of lodging houses occupied
by students, to the end that unsanitary
quarters might be wiped off the lists of
the Y. NJ. c. A. and the university
which measure he felt would suffice to
compel lodging-house keepers to main
tain their premises in sanitary condi
ton. All OF these recommendations
seemed to meet with the approval of
the regents present and were referred
to the committee on grounds and build
ingS and the finance committee with
full power to act.

Nobody slept in Athens the night
before the predicted earthquake, and
thousands spent the. hours of darkness
in open places around the city. May
was a beautiful day, and there was
nothing to mar it except the distress
and discomfort caused by the earth
quake prophet.
In the following year Falb predict
ed an earthquake for a certain day in
Chile, and the people of Santiago were
thrown into great excitement. Every
railroad car that could be mustered
into service was busy for day or two
carrying refugees away from the city.
There was no earthquake, but the
misery and loss inflicted by Fab s
prediction were considerable.
Very little has been heard of Falb
since that time. His seems to have
been a case of a scientific man gone
wrong. After the fever of earthquake
prophecy seized him he never added
anything to the work that had given
him a respectable standing.

Was Prophet of Evil.

Prof. Rudolph Falb of Vienna is
dead. He had a remarkable career.
He earned an enviable reputation
in the scientific world as a meteorol-
ogist. He wrote on the subject with
care, learning and authority. In his
later years, however, he was largely
discredited among scientific men be-
cause he became possessed of the i--,.
that he could foretell the occurrence
of earthquakes. Some of his guesses
hit the mark, which only added to the
suffering he caused by erroneous pre-
dictions.
In 1893 he predicted that the island
o. Zante, off The west coast of Greece,
was about to be shaken by a severe
earthquake. The prediction came
true, and so did his prophecy of an
earthquake on the mainland of Greece
in 1894.
1t was natural, therefore, that when
he said Athens would be terribly
shaken on the approaching May the
people of that city should be thrown
into great CONSERVATION. Thousands

the land from the farmer and to pay
for the drilling and shooting. Askers-
iy and his friend would each put M

fifty apiece. We organized at once
and the work began the next week.
"Ackersly couldn't work at all. He
had to have daily reports on the prog
ress of the drilling and talked sand
strata, shale and trenton rock until
we all commenced picking out our
colleges. The day that they dropped
the goodwill down on to the 200 quarts
of nitro at the bottom of the we'll Ack-
ersly and one of the boys from the
office went down there to be present
at the joyous event.
They came back gloomy-the well
was a dry hole or 'duster' But Ack-
ersiy got us together and said Sec
oad shot might do it; would cost only
$25 apiece, as we had the lease rights.
So, like plunging deeper to get back
our loss, we sunk twenty-five more.
Nothing doing. We quit. Four weeks

The complainant breathed heavily

1t seems that while he was spend

lawyer-who was promoting an oil
well. or rather, trying to promote the

putting in an iron plug-or something
like that.
