TEN GOODS ENGAGED
University Of California Decides Upon
Housekeeping Course

Berkeley. Cal, May S.-Startled by
the announcement during the past
week OF ten engagements among the
students of the University Of Califor-
MIA, the faculty of that institution has
decided to add course in household
economies to the curriculum of the
coming summer session. Several
years ago there was an epidemic of
engagements and secret marriages
among the students of the university
and so serious was the matter consid-
cred that President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler made a special address to
the "co-eds" advising them against en-
couraging marriage until the men stu
dents had become wage earners.
This talk put an end to the secret
marriages but the engagements have
gone serenely on until the record of
this week was made. The announce
ments have revived the question OF
tie desirability of co-education and
the discussion among the faculty and
students has already become ANNA

rected the Stations of the Cross. At
this fort there were many battles and
it is the great historic interest Mr.,
Armstrong who has charge of the In

pageants close to the wharf, where
the location is such that large crowds
of people can witness the same with
out Inconvenience The commission
also visited the lighthouse at the
north end of the island, which has
