WOMEN IN GERMANY.

No less than 2,21S women have ma
circulated at the various German uni
versities this winter, as against Ass
last year and the 1850 of three years
ago. The figures show that for the
present the German university woman
is chiefly ~instigated by a desire to MT
herself for high teaching positions or
for the medical profession. Thus, 703
women are taking the medical courses,
as against $50 last rear, while 579 are
enrolled as students Of mathematics
and natural sciences, as against 504
in 1911-12; and 1,75S are pursuing
philosophical. historical, literary and
allied studies, as contrasted with 1858
a year ago. No less than n~tnety-one
women are. however, studying political
science and agriculture, while forty
seven are fitting themselves to be law
yers, and the number Of women stu
dents of t~heology-in conservative
Germany-has risen from five to elev-
en-. It is interesting to note that the
largest increase in women students
gurg, that is, chiefly in south Germany.
In addition to these 3,21S regularly ma
circulated women students, there are
no less than 1,722 who are enrolled as
Hoererinnen. or special students, max
ing a total attendance of 1895 women.
When 1t is recalled that it is only thtr-
ty years ago that the first high school
for girls was founded in Berlin, amid
protests from the public and from the
learned world, these figures prove be-
yond question hat the world in Ger
many is moving with remarkable rap
idity.

Can't Break Monte Carlo.

McClure's Magazine: Among the
classic system players who gained
great sums at Monte Carlo was
Charles Wells, adventurer and In
ventor, who came to Monte Carlo with
the money Of other people, ito win or
lose it ALL" in testing his great idea
He played, also on the simple chances,
a modification of the famous method
of d'Alembert, the great mathema-
tician. Wells began with a stake of
ten units, decreasing to nine If he
won, put increasing to eleven If he
lost. His game was a kind of swing
ing to nine of the pendulum, going up
one way to twenty units and other
down to one. For a time he con
trived to prosper SO sensationally that
the tables at which he played had &C.
c~asionaIly to stop for a few minutes
until more money was brought. This
was breaking the bank" and gained
Wells the honor of becoming the hero
of a popular music hall song.
Nowadays. however, no successful
player can have the thrilling joy of
breaking the bank, AS soon as 1t is
seen, that one gambler or more may
reduce the funds of a table to a low
ebb. more money is unostentatiously
brought by one of the footmen, and
play never stops an instant. Charles
Wells has recently figured In the
criminal courts of Paris, where he
boasted he had won 100000 for the
Casino.

A young German, who, five years ago
had taken out his first papers, that
is, declared his intention to become an
American CitiZen-was recently taking
out his final papers" in a court Of the
district. One of the essential steps in
this procedure is the examination of
the applicant by the Judge as to his
knowledge of the constitution. The
form Of the question is, by immemo-
rial custom, as follows: Have you
read the constitution of the United
States, and, if So. do you understand
it?"
In this instance the young German,
to the establishment of the examining
judge. replied:
Yes, your honor, and | think the
men who wrote it did not know how to
write correct English. The very first
sentence Is defective"
What do you mean?' queried the
Judge, bewildered by this foreign at
tack upon the bulwark of our liber-
ties.

then could the people of the United
States form a more perfect union? II

nothing to increase perfection. 1t

The young German got his papers

TARIFF REFORM.

It Is now evident that the certainty
of tariff reduction has not shaken the
public confidence but thai business
continues to BIO good and the factories
continue to run.
The people who are conducting the
business and who are operating the
factories are not going to cut off their
noses to spite their faces, but they are
going to allow prosperity to remain as
long as it may. They are not going to
injure themselves for the qualification
Of demonstrating that protection Is the
salvation of the country.
The government report on American
foreign trade for January shows an in
crease for the month of $11, 900, 900 over
January, 1912, and for seven months
since July an increase of 1884, 600, 900
over the corresponding period last
year.
This is a remarkable showing when
the fact is considered that those con-
nected with the business and manu-
featuring interests of the country have
for several months known that the in
coming administration Is going to ma
terialIy reduce the tariff and enact
other reform laws the people have long
demanded.
At previous times, when such things
have been approached, there has been
a falling off in trade. Importers,
manufacturers and dealers have
bought only what would meet their
immediate needs, but his time bust
ness has gone right on, and the indica-
tions now seem that there will be no
p~erceptible change in conditions but
that the oppressive and unjust tariff
will go out with no great harm to any
important interests.
There is q substantial n enduring
confidence in the equity of the policy
of Withdrawing tariff protection. 8 The
cause of this is that the people have
learned their lesson by a long term OF
sad experience in paying untold mil
lions of bounty to enrich those indus
tries that have all but outgrown the
power of the government and its laws
The policy OF tariff reduction has beer
accepted by, the country, and people
who have been looking to its results
have made up their minds to make the
best of 1t and profit with a country
that is to be relieved of great burden.

TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1918.
N USED H Ak.

Governor Hanna has swung the veto
ak n chopped off the heads of a
number Of bills that were passed by the
last legislature.
One of the measures that was killed,
Is senate bill No. 22S, which was an
act to amend the code as 1t relates to
instructions in criminal cases. The
governor believed that this would
simply clutter up court procedure
with more technica lities and he has
therefore, very properly, vetoed the
bill.
Another measure killed Is senate bill
No. 361 which provides that whenever
a petition is received by a board hav-
ing jurisdiction, requiring a new o
to be laid out. the board was COM
PEELED to order a survey, but as Mr..
Hanna thought it would be too much
expense for the man who pays the
taxes it was turned down.
Senate bill No. $50, a message max
ing a settlement for damages void If it
was made within thirty days of The
date Of the injury, was believed to be
unfair to the person injured. and was
killed.
Mr.. Hanna also killed senate bill No.
1873 which substituted the chairman Of
the new tax commission for the COM
missioner Of agriculture and labor as
a member of the board Of equalization.
The governor believes that it would be
unwise to take a man holding an cleo
tive Office off the board and replace
him with a man holding an appointive
Office and further believes that Mr..
Gilbreath, who represents the farmer
and the laboring man in the state of
fetal family should have a place on the
equalization board.
Senate bill No. ESQ. which was an
amendment to the law which provides
fer the investment Of the state school
funds in bonds and mortgages, called
for two appraisements of land where
an applicant asked for a loan and for
that reason was vetoed.
Senate bill No. 271, providing for an
amendment to the law relating to the
maximum freight rate on coal and
]briquettes, was vetoed because the
governor feared it might have some ef-
feet on the litigation regarding this
law, now pending before the supreme
court.
Governor Hanna has given a logical
reason in each instance. Much of this
legislation was needless. some of il
harmful and The Forum believes the
governor has shown good Judgment il
using his veto power.

the house was filed to overlooking,
and the audience saw a good show,
for the great play was never better

and the cast was an admirable one
and the play under the direction Q
