TALKS
TO RAISE UNIVERSITY ADMISSION
 REQUIREMENTS.
Time Has Come, Thinks President of URiversity, When High Schools and Colleges Must Re Diferen-
 tlated--Hulldings.

In an interview Wednesday, Presi- dent John W. Abercrombie of the Uni- versity of Alabama, who addressed the State Fair crowd in an educational speech, told enthusiastically of the progress being made at the University on the new buildings. He also gives it as his opinion that with the educa- tiona1 facilities, faculty and equipment of the University. the youths of Ala bama need not go beyond the bounds of the State for the best of training and highest.
 Dr. Abercrombie also sounds the note for raising forthwith the en- trance requirements of the University. He declares the faculty endorses the movement and that every high school and college can get the best results when they are differentiated.
 The fourteen unit requirements for admission to the University is to be adopted, say the President.
 "The University" said President Abercrombie, lis entering upon what promises to be in many respects it's most successful year. Work upon the two buildings for which contracts have been awarded is progressing, and plans are being prepared for the erection of another. the academic building. Plans are being drawn, also, for repairs and
  Woods Hall will probably be the first to undergo repairs.
 'The Board of Trustees will meet at Tuscaloosa on next Saturday for the purpose of awarding contracts for the equipment of the central power plant and engineering laboratories and for the consideration of plans for the academic building. The question of repairs for the old buildings will also be considered.
 "A sewerage system has already been constructed and a contract has been made for a complete waterworks sys- tenn, the water to be supplied from the University Springs. The water from these springs Is the same as the noted Stafford Springs water. and this may account for the remarkably good health enjoyed by our students"
 Questioned concerning the action of the faculty relative to the raising of admission requirements, he replied as follows:
 Tn the opinion of the faculty. the time has come when the University should raise its entrance requirements to the national standard; and. ubject to approval by the Board of Trustees. fourteen high school units will be re- qulred hereafter for admission to the freshman class Tn the academic depart ment. The same requirement. or a higher one. will probably be fixed for admission to the professional depart ments. The department of engineering g requires already. approximately twenty of such units.
 While this action may result in a temporary suspension of increase in enrollment. it is believed that with the development of the county high schools the number of students will be as large as can be accommodated. Besides, why should not Alabama's University be as good and It's curriculum as high as any In the country?
 50 long as the colleges do high sch ool work. and so long as the high schools undertake college work. both the colleges and the high schools will faii to accomplish, the best results.

government for the failure of It's cruis- CT "5elderlaud" to salute the Vene- zueIan flag in Venezuelan harbor, something may be said. It IS claimed that it is the custom of the Dutch navy not to fire a salute in a port in whicn the same vessel has already saluted within the year. Probably this is true. but 1t is also true that but one salute to a consular officer is permitted. And on this occasion the ''Gelderland" fired the seven guns In salute of the Dutch consul but ignored the Venezuelan flag. It recalls the incident of the same Dutch vessel when 1t was car rying Paul Kruger to Holland from South Africa. That vessel failed to salute the British flag carried by a ship of the British navy. When apology was demanded the Dutch ex- plained that the British ship was so far away that its flag could not be dis- tinguished. Yet the British had ex- perienced no difficulty in distinguish ing the Dutch flag.
 'Srhe gravamen of the Dutch com plafnt is the protest against the de- cree prohibiting rans-shipment Of freight to Curacao. All other con alterations are minor matters. The Eovernment of Venezuela is perfectly willing to dwell in friendliness with It's Dutch colonial neighbors. but 1t cannot grant to Curacao favors which initiate against Venezuelan interests. Ihe action prohibiting the trans-shipment in a foreign port, when 1t can be done just as easily in home port, is en- tirely within the right of a nation 70 protect it's own commerce and to serve the interests of It's own merchants and workmen.
 "Frauds upon the customs operate not only to injure the government by impairing its revenues. but to work in- justice to honest merchants who pay the duties. That Curacao has permit ted large contraband shipping trade cannot be denied. Ships were cleared from Curacao without giving any definite destination; cleared just to sea- These ships found harbor in some of the many small inlets along the great veneTueian coasts and i@noeo their cargo without paying duty There can be no doubt of this.
 ''This contraband trade has made possible by the abuses of the privilege of trans-shipment formerly granted 10 Curacao. In addition to that fact Curacao has been a hot-bed of plot ting for the enemies of this Republic, and surely a nation is entitled to the right to defend itself against It's ene- mies
 "The exact steps to be taken in reaching a settlement of these vextng problems are the inviolnble secrets Of the government and cannot be discuss ed at this time. However, 1t is my firm belief that the Venezuelan gov ernment and the Venezuelan people will decline to accept any form of settlement which is presented for com sideration at the point of a sword"
 This is putting the best face on the affair by setting forth Venezuela's de- fense without once mentioning the serious grievances against Venezuela. such as the attack on the consul aG wiIlemstad. It Is the only authorita- tive statement on the Dutch imbroglio which has come from anyone in con nection with the Venezuelan govern ment.

luminated The great concert-hall was decorated and cleared for dancing. Hundreds of gilt chairs had been re- moved. and only a certain number re- mained to accommodate the wall-how- CTS. The splendid string band was al- ready playing sort of dreamy invi- tation to the waltz, and all the world. especially Hester Forde anticipated a delightful evening.
 Hester in her Puritan dress. looked remarkably we'll; 1t was surprising how the white cap, handkerchief, and soft grey gown suited her. Of course, little white cap becomes most people; but 1t seemed peculiarly becoming to this daughter of Puritans, and added to her face just the touch of piquancy that 1t lacked. When she entered the ballroom many were struck by the soft radiance of her eyes and her real iy dazzling complexion, and for the first two hours Miss Forde was consid- cred to be one of the stafs of the night.
 Hester and her chaperon were early arrivals, and secured seats near the door, in order to watch the entree of the other costumes; and as they sat these fiocked in, amidst much laughter and applause.

She was the sensa- tion of the evening, and, as part ner, in enormous request. Of course, there was the inevitable Sancho Panza, several cooks, jockeys, and golf-cad- dies; America, extremely. smart in stars and stripes: Henry " conducting beautiful decolletee lady, soldiers. nuns, friars, flowers gifts. Spanish girls in lowered skirts and gay manila shawls, with punches of flowers in their hair. Among the last to enter was Paul in the dress of a matador, with his cloak over his shoulder. He was accompanied by Dolores, a bril- liant Gitana, with castanets, scarfs and embroidered skirts. Their joint appearance was exceedingly effective; low murmur greeted them. and If the Amazon was the sensation, the Marquis de Sarazin and his partner were the admiration of the ballroom.
 Then dancing began; band and floor were alike perfect and the scene was both brilliant and inspiriting. Paul came over immediately to Hester, and and claimed a waltz Strange to re- late. 1t happened to be ''Quand Pamour meurt." He danced with the grace and .venve of the true-born Spaniard, and the Puritan lady managed to acquit herself creditably; but she had not time for conversation: a few breathless sentences about Cambo and his flow CTS, and criticism of some of the oth-

 Here some old friends eagerly aecost- ed Mrs. Tudor and Hester, and, to her great chargin, insisted on carrying them on to wait at q certain putting green in order to witness an exciting nnish: but Paul and his cousin excused themselves and disappeared--she never saw them again that day.
