TO STOP COLLEGE SUICIDES
University of Pennsylvania Provost Calls
on Billy Sunday.

Philadelphia, April 6.--In a remark
able interview, Provost Edgar Smith OF
the University of Pennsylvania, yester-
day declared he had summoned Billy
Sunday, the whirlwind evangelist, to the
university in order to divert the minds
of the students to things spiritual and
thereby avoid ii possible, the recurrence
of the "suicide waye,s which affected the
student body recently. Three students
|of the university committed suicide
within two weeks.
After the suicides ! could not Sleep"
declared the provost, "the shock of the
first suicide depressed, the second un-
neryed me, and the third left me with
that feeling of having suffered some
great loss.
"The suicides caused me many mo-
ments of deep thought. / wondered
what there is lacking in a college life
that left the young men with no re-
sources to tide them over the shoals
and sorrows of life and guide them to a
safe port. / tried to think of possible
ways to lead the students from the
channel that was leading them to self
destruction, and / decided it would be
necessary to lift the minds of the stu
dents away from their imaginary trou
bles to the contemplation of their Gre
ator.
Billy Sunday came to my mind and
proceeded Immediately to carry the
thought into effect. The enthusiasm
the students showed over him was a
revelation to me and the results exceeded
my fondest expectations.
Il would prefer to turn out young
men imbued with desire to live light
eous lives and with only modicum of
learning rather than the most learned
and accomplished good for nothing in
the world"

Better Soldier Than statesman.

dfth anniversary OF his birth. Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title OF duke In recognition OF his
success in the Peninsula campaign
against the French. At the same time
the house Of commons voted S2.0O0,-
600 for the support OF his new dignity.
Within a little more han a year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and 10 be
made the commandments Of the
British forces. Later In life the duke
OF wellington became British prime
minister. but the strong personal quail
ties that had helped him to success
as a soldier were not the qualities that
best behtted for the premiership. and
the career Of the duke as a statesman
added little TO his fame.

The electrical control system has decided ad-

be readily granted when II is known that the
mght OF locks at Gatun. for instance, extends
over a distance OF 6.152 feet and the principal
operating machines are distributed over a dis
lance OF Ais feet. To control the machines
locally meant a large operating force distributed
practically along the full length Of the locks.

nate INTO an efficient operating system. The
