The largest gains in terms of student units, including the summer session attendance, but. deduct ing summer students who returned for work in the fall, were registered by Col umbia (with an increase of 1279), Califor- mia 674 Minnesota 621, Wisconsin 50o Chicago 396, Northwestern 346. and Penn sylyania 330.
 Columbia's total enrolment is 7411, while Chicago has 5SS3 students enrolled. "Within the next ten years, if they con- tinue their present pursuits, the faces of American women win be hard to distin- guish from those of men,
 This is the idea of J. s. Woolf, New York portrait painter, who has been awarded more medals than any other artist of his age in New York. . Naturally. as an artist make study of physiognomy,' he said today, mot only of those whose portraits I paint, but Of people in general, and I have been impressed with the increasing likeness in features between men and women. The change Is almost entirely in the features governed by the expression, for emotions produced by the activity of the mind leave decided marks on the countenance.
 Prior to their entrance in the field of finance and the professions women were of a different world, that of the home and society.
 'If there was any great concentra tion of thought 1t was not of the character to detract from the softness of expres- sion in the lines of the face.
 To-day it is different. Mems and wom- en's thoughts run in the same grooves; tneir ideas are taken up by the same kinds of business, and this alone has brought about a great change in fea- lures.
 "Phrenologists have discovered that the size of women's heads have slightly in- creased, and the brow is more fully de- veloped. This can come but from in- creased mental activity.

Because the won1ans face. un- til recent years, has been a mask of soft fenininity, with very few lines save those made by feminine emotion and age, and this face lends itself to the moulding of thought as easily as piece of modelling wax yields to the hand of sculptor. Ev- cry change, no matter how slight, is mo- t;ceabe
 "There has even been a change in the woman's walk. It is not the stride of the man, thank goodness, but it has a freedom of swing that belongs to a man. But it is in the face that there has been the greatest change, these are stronger and belong to a world of men and activ- ity."
 Those fortunate people who can arrange to take several weeks off this season to go south had best make their plans awhile ahead and be sure of their rail- way accommodations many days before they start Never before this year have the railroads experienced such a rush for the south and a fortnight's s reservation o1 berths is none too soon to secure con- fortable quarters
 
 Gerge Alexander banker of Paris, Ky, says that in that place. too. they feel that the census did not give them a square deal, for the town claims any where between 5000 and 10000, while the official report is something like 600O Like all southern towns" explained Colonel Alexander Paris is surrounded by negro villages, which the census emu merators always cut out. F or what is the town noted? Well, sir, I wouldn't be a true Kentuckian if l did not make men, ton of the fact that the town is in Bour- bon county, and therefore produces the finest quality of whisky that's made. To- bacco, wheat, hemp and naturally corn are grown in the country whereabouts, and we have the handsomest court house in the state,
 "The financial situation there has been tied up in a knot on account of the to- hacco situation. The people of our. own county formed pool of all their tobacco | in 1909 and held it.
