A FEW EPIGRAMs BY JOHN D.
In an Interview the Oil Masnate Talks
on Vacation and Things.

NEW YORK, July 19.-John ID.
Rockefeller has recently been inter
viewed again. Here are some OF the
epierams he framed:
Vacation for an employee is a good
thing for an employer. 1t enables him
to learn just how much an employee is
worth. And. of course. it may show
on employee how easily he can be re-
placed.
A continual vacation is just as bad
or worse than none at all.
City people would live much long
err. be much healthier and far happier
if they spent more time in the open
air.
The high cost OF living is driving
people out OF the cities.
Il hope the young men will remem-
Der that there is something else than
business. They should look forward
to the determination of what shall
come out OF their toll, out OF the sue
cess which they will make with their
industry.
Business-everythin in life-is be-
coming more strenuous every year.

SWIMMING POOL TO
Be USED NEXT YEAR
Y. NC. \. Tank to be Filled
for the First Time in
September.
OPEN l::3O TO 10 AT NIGHT
Pure City Water Will Aid in
Keeping Bathing Room
Sanitary.

The swimming pool in the Y. NJ. G..
A. building is TO be ready for use by
the members about September l.,
when the regular session of the Uni
versity begins. The new building was
opened last September. but the pool
has never been He'd with water.
The water is to be procured from
the city. The pool was not used last
year. because the officers were await
ing for the University to furnish the
water
To large number of students it is
thought the pool will be one of the
most attractive features OF the build
ing. 1t is 90 by 40 feet and holds
about $1,000 gallons OF water.
Will Have Attendant.
The hours in which the pool may be
used probably will be from l:3O in
the afternoon until 10 at night. In
order OF avoid accidents the aSsOcia-
ton will have an attendant at the pool
during these hours.
The shower baths are to be improv-
ed and it will be required that every
person take Il shower bath before en-
terinS the pool All the water in the
pool will be drained out once Il week
and fresh water turned in. John s.
Moore secretary of the association,
says the city water here is much
purer than in many cities and will
therefore make it much easier to keep
the pool sanitary. The water here is
pumped from a deep Well. while in
many places it is drawn from rivers.
Another boiler will be placed in the
furnace room and the water will be
heated. Water should be heated to
so degrees to be comfortable to swim
in. it is said 1t will be necessary to
raise the temperature of the city wa
ter about forty degrees.

HONOR FOR MICHIGAN GIRL
Degree of Master of Arts Given to "
Year-Old Student.

ANN ARBOR. Mich.-Thc youngest
person ever to take a master of arts
degree from the University of Michi
gan. and it is thought, the youngest
to take that degree from any uniyer-
sity in the United States, is Miss Dor
othea Jones from Harrisburg, Pa. She
was Il years old when she took the
graduate work and passed the eXami-
nations. though she had just passed
her eighteenth birthday when she
received her degree.
AT Michigan students must be IL
years old when they enter the uni
versity for regular work, but when
Miss Jones entered the university she
had thEee whole years advance credit.
whis&Rhe brought from college at
Carlisle. Pa. She was able to enter
the senior class at an age when the
freshman can usually just get in for
his first years work.
Miss Jones is not robust girl. She
looks as though several years on a
farm would do wonders for her. She
has no brilliant coloring that should
be the heritage OF every 1S-year-old
girl. and there is no girlish mischiev-
Gus twinkle in her eyes. but for all
that she managed to have about as
good a time while in college as most
girls have. Her mother came here
with her and they both seemed very
happy in the work the daughter did.
AT the University OF Michigan they
tell OF how for three hours. the day
they gave her her hnal oral eXamina-
ton. that one frail little girl answered
questions without moments heSita-
ton that four gray haired professors
shot at her.
For three straight hours she endur-
ed that oral test. and at the end the
skeptical faculty men had to acknOwl
edge that Miss Dorothca Jones was
deserving of a masters degree, even
though her age did make such a thing
seem eposterous.-Dctroit Journal.

A ball game will be another fea-
ture of the week. Secretary Reed will
attempt to enlighten the foreign visit
ors as to the fine points of Americas

pected to follow the plays. and later
