HEADACHE

Is one of the greatest enemies of
mankind. How many endure, day
after day. this nerve racloing, streng-
th-sapping pain without thought OF
its origin.
The cause is never sought by the
majority of sufferers-they endure
and wonder.
Ninety per cent of all headaches
are caused by defective eyes-with
proper glasses all distressing pain
would vanish.
If you would have the exact refra-
ctive condition of your eyes, have

AFTER EIGHTY YEARS
NEEDLE FOUND IN BODY

Bellefontaine. o., Jan. When
william Cox. SO years old, felt a
lump on his right leg yesterday he
thought 1t was n boil trying to make
its appearance. He put a bread and
milk poultice on it and today found
a thread protruding from the lump,
Or pulling the thread it was found
that it was attached to a needle.
When he was three years old Cox
swallowed needle and thread and
as nothing was seen of it in later
years it was supposed that he was
rid of It.

sofa. Wisconsin and Ann Arbor are all
of them lawless in the literal sense Of
the word. There are no laws defining
the relations between the faculty and
the students and the faculty authority
is only asserted on special occasions,
such as the pne some years ago when
the wisconsin men raided the girls
laundry in Chadbourne hall and pa
raded the campus in very clean and
very feminine apparel At Minnesota
President Northrup is able to control
the students through his strong per-
rebellion against going to class by GER
tain uproarious youths all that is
necessary is for the president to stroll
up to the disturbers and say, go on
to the class, boys" and with Three
cheers for Prexie!" they are off.
There is little paternaiism in either
of these universities because the stu
dents will not tolerate it. They are, for
the greater part, the sons and daugh-
ters of the tax payers and they feel
that as such they have right to re-
sent any laws which will be contrary
to the large. free spirit on which the
university was founded. Herein lies
the great advantage of a public foun-
dation over a private endowment. An
old University of Wisconsin student
tells of meeting DR.. Jordan when on a
trip west. Learning that she was from
Wisconsin, DR.. Jordan said: Don't you
think the students there are remark
ably fine lot Of intelligent broad
minded young men and women?" She
said 1t was on her tongue to say, Yes,
because they have a public foundation
and no paternalism," but she decided 1t
was better to say only the Yes"
If the college life is dwarfed when
the university is in a large city the
University of Michigan is fortunate in
being situated in Ann Arbor. To un-
derstand how. thoroughly Ann Arbor is
a college town one wants to go there
in the winter when the place is alive
with its 5000 students, and then go
in the summer when the population OF
the town is reduced to 1900 and many

dance, but later came to her and asked
to be excused. He explained that he
had pledged himself to g. fraternity
and that it was against the policy OF
his crowd to entertain college girls.
He asked to call instead. but the girl
was plucky enough to give him the
answer he deserved.
Ann Arbor students are like Stanford
students in preferring walking to any
other form of out of doors recreation.
I'VE don't STROLL" said an Ann Arbor
girl to me, I'VE tramp I learned to
walking ten miles a day" Everybody
walks after 4:3o, as they do at Stan
ford, only the Ann Arbor people have
to take their walks In the snow for
part of the year.
Properly speaking the University of
Chicago and Northwestern university
are in a class by themselves. for they
are .tfe two largest middle west col
leges founded by an endowment, and
each of them is maintained by church
which gives Its theological course IN
the university. But you cannot imagine
two colleges more unlike. Chicago is
new, thoroughly businesslike, and bust
ling with life the year round, while
Northwestern is an old and conserva-
tive college which irnpresses one as be-
ing just bit sleepy.
Northwestern is a Methodist institu-
tion. situated at Evanston, ILL.,, beau
tiful suburb of Chicago, called by its
wealthy residents classic Evanston"

yates live near and keep up their So
cial connections with the university the
social life of the college receives GER
tain breadth which is lacking where
the undergraduates constitute a COM
munity of their own, as at Stanford.
Until the last year the social life
at Minnesota was limited to the Greek
letter societies. butenow that Alice
Shevlin hall has been built for the
women of the university the mems
fraternity houses are no longer the
only social center. Shevlin hall is a
beautiful building. much like Hearst
hall. only that it is larger and if any
thing more complete. There are spa
cious parlors where any girl in the
university may entertain her callers.
or where dancing party or a small
dinner may be given, if properly
chaperoned by the matron The moral
tone at this university is high and
permits of much unconventionality in
consequence.
The University of Wisconsin is sit
uated at Madison. the city which Mat
thew Arnold pronounced the most
beautiful city visited by him on his
trip to the United States Madison
lies on a neck of land between two
lakes. Mendoza and Monona, and the
university is. ION the shore of Men
dota." Consequently Madison has be-
come the only rowing college in the
l.
ment; rowing, sailing and canoeing in
the spring and fall and ice boating in
the winter. Many students keep their
own boats; every fraternity owns
sailboat, and there are numerous boat
houses where boats may be rented.
This athletic tendency on the part
of the students may explain why the
men were of such a strong build and
the girls so full of energy. 1t may be
that the cold winters are in some way
responsible for a part of this condition.
1 must record that girls in California
may think they are busy with their
college work and their social life, but
that they don't know what energy and
work are as compared to the wiscon-
sin girls.
Probably the most unique feature of
the University of wisconsin is the
women's self government association.
The highest honor which can come to a
Wisconsin woman is to be elected presi-
dent of this body which, without any
interference from faculty men or
women, regulates the social life Of the
university. The "12 o'clock rule" for
danes was one of the first regula-
tions made by the women. and it has
since gone into effect in almost all of
the large coeducational universities, by
order of the faculties. Under the plan
of self government each cormitory and
each sorority house makes it's own
rules, and each club is careful that its
rules are in accord with the general
spirit of the organization. Can you
imagine our California girls voluntarily
ruling that they will receive callers
only on Friday and Saturday nights,
and not at all on Sundays?

of the boarding houses and shops are
closed not to open until fall.
In some respects Ann Arbor is much
like the University of California 1t
has no dormitories and the fraternity
houses and boarding houses scattered
throughout the town house the student
population This does not necessarily
college is not in a city. Ann Arbor is
a typical college town and is much
like the Berkeley of eight or ten years
ago.
Mean Men of Ann Arbor
The main fault to be found with Ann
Arbor is in its coeducational conditions.
The men refuse to be friendly with
the college girls and fill their houses
with city queens" when the junior

takes place. Patterning after Cornell
the men are often heard to say. proud
ly, 1--WE don't know any college girls.
All our friends live out of town" And
it isn't that the Ann Arbor girls are
not just as pretty and attractive as
the girls in any other college, but it
is that the men have a false opinion
of their own Importance and the girls
insignificance. Unfortunately this SEN
timent is growing each year The fol-
lowing story is told of 1911 fresh

Women's Votes Count

The women play an important part
in politics in the University of Wiscon-
sin. Unlike our California colleges. the
political fights are not along fraternity
and nonfraternity lines. The colleges
of art. which are ION the HILL" are ar
rayed against the engineers, who are
of the hill, and the women. who stand
together. frequently cast the deciding
vote. There is an admitted intellectual
equality between the men and women
which forbids any question of a
woman's ability to vote intelligently.
Wisconsin has now outclassed Ann
Arbor in It's reputation for having the
handsonest fraternity houses in the
west
Another unique thing abou; Wiscon-
sin is that it has no student body or
ganization and any important bust
ness is delegated to Individual members
of the different classes. There is no
faculty domination, however. Mime

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

New York, March 21.-unlted states
SteeI was the mainstay OF the stocA
market today. The large accuHuia-
tion of that stock carried 1t 10 the
highest price of the year,
for the 1-2 dividend which came OH
the price this week.
The contents of the pamphlet re-
mort of the company issued yester-
day was responsible for this demon
stration. especially those passages
dealing with the conditions In the
trade since the first of the year. A
notable impression vas made by the
official assurance there given that the
rate of expansion in the average
daily orders coming for March was
as great as it had been successlvely
in January and February over the
depth of the December depression.
The anxiety of the earlier part OF
the week. caused by reports from
Pittsburg that the revival OF the
steel trade was hating, was allayed
by this information.
The weekly review of the mercan-
tile agencies gave conservative en-
enlargement to the hopeful spirit
prevalent in the stock market. Ad-
vices from the cotton manufacturers
were an exception and the rate of
liberalization reported in the print

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 21.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of one point to a decline of s points
under a renewal of Wall street
selling and liquidation, which was
promoted by eacy cables, unfavorable
trade reports and fear that the good
weather recently reported over this
south would lead to increased acre
age. Prices made new low records
during the early session, with the
active months selling about 10 to II
points net lower, while new crop
positions were quiet and relatively
steady at a decline of 4 points. The
decline was checked around 9.67 for
May by covering, but the market
showed little rallying power. The
cotton market closed steady with
prices net to 1 to 8 points lower.
