STANFORD UNIVERSITY. July 81
A record breaking freshman class is
anticipated this coming semester. ac-
cording TO the number OF applications
for entrance already submitted in the
registrars office.
This large freshman class is hailed
as a good omen for athletics, as it will
to some extent neutraIize the absence
of a large number Of the veterans. who
will not return to college on account
of the troubles OF last term The reg
istration of the students will not COM
mence at the university for several
weeks, but preparations are being
made to receive more than the usual
number of students.
The reconstruction OF the library is
the principal work that has engaged
the efforts OF a large number OF work
men during the summer. A great per-
centage OF the work IS being done by
students on their summer vacation.
Almost every day one or two drift
back TO the campus in need OF work.
and it is very rarely that they are
refused, for as one OF them said: IF
we don't work now we certainly will
not be able to come back next term"
Many of these students have never had
to work at manual labor before, but
the hard times have hit them through
their parents, and they have gone
cheerfully to work. The new shops
for the engineering departments. which
were commenced at the time the univer-
sity closed for the summer recess, have
been practically completed and, with
the installation of the experimental
machinery and interior fittings. will be
ready for the return OF the undergrad
yates in September.

WATER SHORTAGE GROWS
SERIOUS IN OILFIELDS
Development of Large Territory
Faces Setback Unless Ade-
quate Supply Is Secured

BAKERSFIELD, July 27.-The water
situation in the west side oil field has
reached a stage where an adequate
supply must be secured or the develop
ment of the territory will be set back
many months. For more than three
months past the Midway operators
have been seriously handicapped by a
lack of water.
For the last week the Stratton COM
pany, upon which most Of the Mid
way companies have been depending
for water, has been unable TO sup
ply its customers. Work on many
leases is now at such a stage that lack
of water will cause losses amounting
up into many thousands of dollars.
The water committee of the Midway
operators will meet tomorrow, and it
is highly probable that the offer of
the Kern county land company TO pump
water into the field from the Buena Vista
lake, 16 miles away, will be accepted.
The Spreckels offer to gravitate water
from natural springs in the San Emig-
dio mountains has been rejected.
In McKittrick, too, the water short
age is a serious problem. Larger
pumps have been installed by the AS
sociated oil company.

WHY THEY SLEEP in CHURCH.
Hypnotisnn, Not Drowsiness, Declared
to De the Cause.

"Churchgoers don't sleep in church.
They undergo an hypnotic trance.
The soothing voices and mild music
and monotonous recitative of a church
service put forth powerful hypnotic
influences, and that is why the pews
resemble a railroad track in the
abundance of their sleepers."
The speaker, a hypnotist, banged
the table vehemently.
Don't laugh" he said. Its true.
Hypnotism. not drowsiness, is what
makes you sleep in church. Through
your auditory nerve sound waves are
passed to your brain that are as ef-
fective as though professional hyp-
notist had made them. Sound, you
know. is the newest and best hyp-
motto.
"At first, in the church service, the
periodicity Of the wave alterations is
short There is a little speaking
then more music. And Just when you
are getting properly lulled the clergy
man. in modulated, agreeable, sooth-
ing voice, speaks on and on and on
and you begin to nod. You are, hyp.
notically speaking, entranced.
The average church service Is 9
scientifically correct hypnotic instru-
ment. No wonder, then, it puts many
of us to Sleep"
