Franchise Assists In Establish
ment Of Faculty to Instruct
the PupIIs From Abroad.

Paris.-The question OF foreign
students at the University Of Paris
has been brought to a head by com
plants from the French Students as
sociation that the teaching OF the uni
versity Is being hampered by the
presence OF so many students with an
imperfect knowledge of the language.
There are now over 1900 foreign
students entered at the university,
most of them at the Faculty Of Let
ters, which cannot, 1t Is alleged, with
out grave injustice to the French stu
dents, give courses which foreign stu
dents are capable OF following.
To remedy this state of AFFAIRS, the
Alliance Franchise, In cooperation
with the university authorities, has
decided to create a faculty where the
French language will be taught from
its earliest origins to its latest devel-
opments, and the foreign student fit-
ted to follow any course In the uni
versity without Inconvenience to his
fellow students and with a-proflt TO
l.mself.
The university has offered to sell to
the Alliance at a reasonable price a
rlot of land conveniently situated on
the left bank of the Seine. close to the
university. In order to raise the
necessary funds to buy the land and
build and equip the necessary prem
ises. stock company has been form
ed under the name of the Society OF
Friends OF the Alliance Franchise,
with a capital of 100000.
The mountain sickness experienced
by mountain climbers and the species
of same ailment affecting aviators at
great heights can be prevented by
hypodermic injections of oxygen, ac-
cordlng to DR.. Roux, the director of
The Pasteur Institute.
Dr. Roux read a paper before the
Academy Of Sciences, demonstrating
the results of series of experiments
made with rabbits at the summit Of
Mount Blanc In Switzerland. Some of
the rabbits were treated with oxygen
and the others were not treated.
Subsequent examinations showed
that the blood of the treated rabbits
was of the natural red-purple which
would be found when at their normal
altitude. The blood OF the remaining
rabbits was blackish and unhealthy.
The scientist says the injections
may be made very easily and that
very little oxygen is required.

Three-fourths of all mischief is done
between supper time and bed time.
The best way to encourage a boy and
girl to be good is to give them a trip
to the Ohio State Fair. Too oft we
forget the wish and hopes OF youth.
The tramp and vsgabond are often the
product Of the neglected and unhappy
child. Every boy and every girl have
right to have good time while they
are young. Make them happy and you
make them good. The busy, money
making man frequently regrets the
outcome Of his children, and wishes
when too late that he had given to
them more pleasure and and more op-
portunities.
The State Fair is the looking glass
which reflects the toll and skill Of am
bilious men and women. Ohio State
Fair exhibitors usually get into the
king-row on life's checker board.

Now, or course, everyone of those
present had read GOrmly's startling
announcements of his candidacy. Most
ment; only the most PRESIDENT with
any feeling of alarm, and even that
feeling was not sufficiently deep to
have awakened any special degree of
anxiety Yet the fact that each one
had been summoned to Haldane's
house, the politicians through Liffey
and the financiers through Haldane
himself rather startled them.
The eight men assembled in the
spacious library Of the Fifth Avenue
house. The curtains were discreetly
drawn. The men had arrived singly
and at different times. They were
admitted by Haldanes confidential
secretary in person. Cigars and
liquors were provided, and the eight,
from all sorts OF differing social ranks,
mingled freely together on terms OF
absolute equality.
The district attorney, for instance,
was g. graduate of Yale Haldane him
self had come from Harvard. The
mayor was product of Columbia.
Liffey had started in as a poor Irish
immigrant The chief of police had
been a saloonkeeper and finally the
colonel of a National Guard regiment
Mcdonald was Scotsman whose
shreWdness and ability had won him
a high position among the financial
magnates. Van Slyke belonged to an
old Dutch family and had inherited
o vast fortune, which his adroit man
8gement had tremendously increased
They represented American life with
its opportunities and its possibilities.
Gentlemen" began Haldane quietly,
Il have called you here, as you have
doubtless surmised, because Of the
announcement of the candidacy OF
George Gormly for mayor"
do you think it's OF sufficient i'm
portance, Mr.. Haldane, for such an
unusual conference as this is?" asked
the boss.

ply.
