NO SMOKING ALLOWED
AFTER $50 O'CLOCK Pm.
Prohibitive Order Effective in Of
fees of the Agriculture
Department.

No smoking in this room after $50
p.m.' Such is the sign hanging on the
walls of many of the offices of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Curious Wis
itors have often been at a loss to ex-
plain just what there is about smok
Ing after a certain time of the day to
make its prohibition necessary.
The explanation of the signs is rela-
lively simple. About two years ago a
fire broke out in the west wing, one of
the two new white additions to the de-
partment buildings located to the south
Of the old main building. These two
wings are f1reproof buildings, but some
way or other, it is stated, rather de-
structive fire started.
Explanations Offered.
There were two explanations offered
Of the fire. One, the self-combustion of
cotton kept in one Of the laboratories;
the other, cigarettes. 1t is thought
that the latter explanation is the true
one. and that the conflagration was
caused by a slow-burning cigarette
carelessly thrown into a waste paper
basket a short time before closing
hours. 1t is thought the cigarette was
thrown away by some visitor to the par
llcular bureau IN Whlcn the nre orig
mated.
Prohibitive Order Issued.
Smoking in the building of the De-
partment Of Agriculture was therefore
absolutely prohibited, and this ruling
was in effect until recently. when the
embargo was raised in rooms in which
no combustible materials are kept and
smoking allowed until $3.50 in the
afternoon. The hour leeway before the
department closes. of course. is for the
purpose of preventing any possible fire
that might originate from the pipe,
cigar or cigarette of any employe Of
the department by giving plenty Of
time for the possible conf1agration to
be discovered.

FIRST LECTURE OF
HISTORY SERIES
A Sociological Subject In The
Hands OF Forceful Teacher

The first lecture under the his
torical series Of the college was
held in the oratory on Tuesday ev-
ening, when DR.. F. H. Lichliter of
Grace M. E. Church, Baltimore,
spoke Oh The Signs of Social I'm

Lichliter referred to the tendency
Of the specialist to make an un-
trustworthy background. Because
he overdraws, his diagnosis must
be gracefully examined. All stu,
dents of sociology, therefore, have
to guard against this over-emphasis
The speaker defined the spirit OF
his discourse, saying he should
speak not as a doctrinaire, but as
an inquirer into the causes of the
social unrest which is in evidence
everywhere.
What is the distinguishing mark
of the age? the speaker asked. 81
believe we will all agree with Fred
erick Harrison that it is social ex

concrete; there isn't phase of the
social problem that isn't attacked
by an organization. Taking ther
the note Of social expectancy as the
keynote of the age, we may classi
fly the outbursts of social unres
as (1) revolt from the conven

COUNTY INSTI-
TUTE AT NEWARK
Sessions This Afternoon And
Evening

The morning session Of the Coun-
ty w. G. 7. U. Institute being held
in the First Presbyterian Church,
Newark, today, was attended by
about fifty delegates. Large, at
tractively printed placards giving
pertinent facts relative to the liq-
uor traffic, which the women are
working so zealously to drive from
the nation, line the walls of the
church. A large American flag
over which there is festooned yards
of crow 's-foot ropes, and pure
white ribbon, the symbol of the or
ganization, is suggestive Of the pat
riotic enthusiasm with which the
W. G. T. U. workers carry forward
their work.

various local unions, Miss Maud
Gaynor Of Wilmington, gave an
enthusiastic account of her expert
ences in forming Loyal Temper

of Children s Work in Maryland,
also talked on this subject. A song
GA Saloonless Nation in 1920" was
sung by Mrs. Allen of Wilmington.
Luncheon was served in the base
ment of the church. Among effec-
tive cards posted about the room
was one bearing the following
pertinent question: eff the liquor
traffic and business aids business
why do the railroad companies and
commercial clubs tell about schools
Libraries, mills, railways, churches
banks, farm products, natural re.
sources, climate, and say nothing
about breweries, distillerles, saloons

Hard Winter Predicted

The annual meeting Of the wealth
pr "prophets" of Berks county,
Pa was held at Monocacy, Satur-
dav. when more than 40 men from
all sections of the county gathered
in the grange hall and compared
their predictions for the coming
winter. Here is the substance of
some of the predictions made by
the wise ones at this years gather
ing: The early fall indicates an
early spring. The leaves of the
trees did not turn red early this
wear, therefore there will be no
long winter, but it will be severe.
The heavy crop of nuts and per-
simmons this year indicates a long,
severe winter. The hogs have long
bristles, other animals have shaggy
hair, which indicates long winter
The hull on shellbarks and walnuts
was thick this year, and the winter
will be severe. The husk on ths
corn was very loose this year, there
fore the winter will be short but
severe. The woods were plentiful
and tall this year, so there will be
lots of snow and ice. One Of then
ventured the assertion that the
winter would be a long one. He
said: II obtained a breastbone o1
a goose several days ago and | reae
the markings. The bone is BLACK
which indicates a hard winter.
