HELP STUDENTS
EARN A LIVING
Christian Associations of the
University Will Back a
Most Worthy Project
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
Pas Center Street, Aug. IA.


With the opening Of the new term
at the University of California the col
lege Christian associations will inaug-
urate a new system for helping stu
dents earn their way while attending
the university. 1t will consist in pro-
viding an educational department of
commercial courses. so that the stu
dents may equip themselves to take
various kinds of office work. The
courses TO be given will be in ste
biography, typewriting and bookkeep-
ing, subjects that will be taught by a
corps of competent teachers.
BY supplying this department the
Christian associations make provision
for students who hitherto have taken
courses in San Francisco business col
leges in connection with their college
work This meant something of a
hardship to those undertaking the
double duties. There is a large de-
mand for competent stenographers and
bookkeepers in Berkeley and the asso-
Citations feel that they are more than
justified in this new enterprise.
Miss Mabel Palmer, '07 will organize
the school and later there will be other
teachers to assist her in the work.

At the rate applications are coming
in, the indications are that the incom-
ing freshman class at the University Of
California will be the largest in the
history Of this college of learning. AL
ready there are $50 applications for
entrance on file and with another week
to elapse before college opens the num-
Der is likely TO be swelled to something
more than 700. The 1906 class was
the largest, with its $50 freshmen. and
last years numbered only 626. This
suggested that the limit had been
reached. but now the signs point to
something even greater

tions are intended for freshmen seek

Facts About Japan.

Among the Japanese one divorce
takes place for every four marriages.
The Emperor of Japan is the direct
descendant of the Emperor Jimmu,
who assembled the throne 1854 years
ago, making the dynasty older than
any other dynasty that exists or ever
did exist.
The true name of Korea is Chosen,
meaning "Land of the Morning Calm"
1t is by this name that the country is
designated in diplomatic papers at the
State Department in Washington.
Japanese soldiers are fed on rice,
salted fish, dried seaweed and picked
plums-a diet that Is almost univer.
sal in Japan, except in the navy, where
rations Of meat are served. Soldiers
are allowed meat when on campaigns
but rarely eat 1t.

BIRD CAME TO COMFORT HER.

Strange Story Told by Jewish Woman
Mourning Her Husband's Death.
Mrs. Abram D. Davis, of 436 Ash
land avenue, tells strange story. Her
husband, who was a prominent mer-
chant, died ten days ago, and she, in
accordance with the customs Of the
Jewish religion, retired to a mourning
chamber with her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Il. Friedenberg, Of Bradford, Pa.
The period of religious mourning ex-
pired at o'clock yesterday morning,
and just at that hour a bird as large
as a sparrow and as black as night
few out of the gas crate, which was
burning, and alighted at Mrs. Davis's
feet. Both women tried to scare the
bird away by waving their hands at
it, but it stayed three minutes, hop
ped about on table and finally van
ished through the front door.
Mrs. Davis, who had been grief
stricken because Of the death Of heI
| husband, to whom she, had been mar
ried thirty years, became cheerful al
once. She tells her friends that 1t bore
a message direct from God telling hel
that she should be comforted and thai
all would be well. An examination Of
the chimney showed that the bird mus
have come down the hot chimney
through a hole about an inch square
Small blackbirds are foreign to thest
parts, and cynical persons say i mus
have been a sparrow with coat O.

ted stir in the fashionable distric
where she lives. One of the person.
who saw the bird Is Mr.. Bernstein
of 121 West One Hundred and -Four
teenth street, New York, and he cor
roborates the story of its strang
movements. RABBI Aaron Of Tempt
Beth Zion has heard the story. II
