A system of street lighting has
been installed in WestwOod that is
inexpensive and yet adequate. Or
dinary reflector lights have been
fastened to the telephone poles
along the principal streets. There
are two to each block, placed alter
nately on opposite sides of the street.
The globes used are not the old
fashioned single wire kind. but new
TungstenS.
There are many places in Column
bia where arc lights cannot be sup
piled but where some form of light
ing is badly needed Could not this
simple system be extended to part of

or where they are far apart?

Our immigration laws should be
revised i'm all respects. immigrants
who may land should be certified at
places of debarkation in Europe
This would prevent enterprising
steamship officials from gathering up
a herd of undesirables to slip by at
our post. 1t would keep Immigrants
who may not land from the expense
and hardships of breaking up home

DENTAL HYGIENE.

Many persons are too lazy to
spend one or two minutes every day
in washing their teeth. AS a result,
they have defective teeth, and will
sooner or later submit to all kinds
of physical suffering. such as tooth
ache. stOmach-ache and the like.
Bad teeth, like bad eyes, reduce one 5
efficiency in work.
Some one said that teeth can be
properly cared for at a cost of 81 a
year, but the estimate seems to be
rather for aristocrats than for peo-
pie of ordinary means However, ex-
perience shows that one need not
spend over one dollar a year to have
his teeth well preserved.
Doctor Bragg. who lectured on
Dental Hygiene" in the Columbia
High School, said that out of 16O,-
900 people examined in Germany, 81
per cent had defective teeth. Pro-
badly the same condition exists i'm

In Sylvester's Mississippi scene
you see the river tranquil and
placid; not even ripple disturbs its
calm. In contrast, is CARRIERS river
with the slight, graceful willows
dropping over it and the exquisite
play of light across the waters. You
almost feel the breeze that gently
sways the branches and ripples the
water.
These four pictures representative
of great American landscapes are
only the beginning of a collection of
famous paintings to be made by the
University. The next step will be to
get an art gallery where they can
be hung to good advantage.
