winch DR.. Boyd outlined forcetrlN
the standards and ideals along
which the university policy is being
directed. He dwelt upon the policy
that insists that teaching comes be
fore everything else in the work of
| the institution and that while per-
sonal scholarship on the part of
professors is desirable, it must be
secondary to ability to teach and
enthusiasm for teaching; for the
kind of work for and with the in
dividual student which brings the
student into lively personal interest
with his college work. Work was
the subject of the address, and in
! its course DR.. Boyd showed that
work and especially college work
must be made so alive, so vital and
so interesting that there will be ne
inclination on the part of the stu
dent to shirk or skim over any par
of it. He quoted at length from &
recent important article in the Out
look, entitled Confessions of al
undergraduate" and tending to show
that because Of lack Of persona
contact between professors ant
students in our great universities
there is a tendency on the part O.

A CITY Of Churches.

Warsaw is also a city of churches
with six Russian and more than thirty
Roman Catholic. Among the latter is
the Cathedral of st. John, north of the
Palace Square and connected with the
palace. A magnificent view of both
buildings may be had from the oppo-
site rising bank of the river. The ca.
thedral dates from the fourteenth cen.
tury.
Warsaw has long been famous for
its printing and carriage industries, its
woven goods, and its plated ware. It
is also the clearing house between the
North and the South, coal, leather,
and wheat being the principal ex.
changes, which, before the war, passed
over the railways centered here. In
drainage, waterworks, and rapid tran.
sit facilities the city has not kept
pace with its growing industrial i'm.

Get OUT OF HIS DILEMMA
Truly leeman, as He Remarked to
Himself, Had Profited by Night
School Education.

Fritz, the iceman, was in a perspira.
tion (for 1t was the hottest four O'Clock
in the morning in II years., and a
dilemma (for he only had one small
block of ice left. and there we're still
ten customers left unserved, each of
whom took a ten-cent piece).
81 know!" Fritz cried 20 himself
Il know way out didn't go to
night school for nothin'!"
And he cut the block into ten tiny
pieces and put one piece in front Of
each of the ten gates.
Then climbing over one of the
fences. and filling a bucket full Of
water, he poured water over each of
the tiny ten so that each was in
the middle of a puddle.
Clever Fritz!
What, you don't? Well, let him
explain it himself. then:
"Haw, haw!" chuckled Fritz. Now
when they find the pieces they'll
think the ice went and melted on
'em!"
Shortly afterwards ten good house
wives opened their gates and got a
slant at the tiny ten.
You know the rest if you never had

Joint owners Held Responsible.

During the last two years travelling
statesmen in the middle western and
western states have discovered a
pleasant and cheap mode of travelling
from town to town along their routes,
by pooling their funds and investing
in an automobile. In most cases the
car actually was bought by one Of
four or five drummers who usually
travelled together, the others contribut
ing the running expenses, lunches. etc.
to'the upkeep. AS a result, rather reck.
less driving at night, and frequent
smash-ups on the roads, occurred
when the "part-owners' took the steer
ing wheel. The Nebraska supreme
court decided recently that each and
every contributor" to the upkeep of
thu car was an owner" in the eyes
of the law, and strictly responsible for
all damage done by its operation.
Speeding at night has since shown a
material decrease in the ranks of the
knights of the suitcase. Scientific

Some Refreshment.

A motorist was stopped by a police
man for speeding. whereupon he be-
came angry and called the policeman

the judge reproved him for what he
had said to the officer.
Then | mustn't call policeman an

Certainly not" said the Judge.

But you wouldn't mind if | called
an ass a policeman, would you?"
Why, no, if it gives you any sat

a smile.

who had arrested him. Good day, po-
piceman," he said, and Immediately

Electricity on Farms.

Rural distribution of electric current
has made great advances in the last
two years In some communities the
farmers have financed local distribu-
ton systems, taking current from the
nearest cross-country transmission
line at one point and retailing it
among themselves, In other commu-
mites individual farmers find it de-
sirable to pay for lines directly from
the power plant to the farm. Other
electric companies install the connec-
tion and require a yearly minimum
use proportionate to the investment
in the line extension.

The mayor of Tolliver Gulch smiled
to himself as he recognized the di-
minutive little lady as a being with a
spirit of her own. Then he rode on
his way, thinking of another certain
little lady who filled his thoughts con-
tinually. 1t was a rough community
among whom he had cast his lot at
the Gulch, but he had found Jewel
rora amid tho inoon0r,,o,,s o,,,juor
ment. 1t was Velma Dalton, the
daughter of the district judge Grif-
fiths, as rising young lawyer, had
won the good opinion Of the Judge.
The latter represented the reform ele-
ment of the struggling border settle
ment. 1t was through his influence
and support that Griffiths had been
elected mayor.
That position was proving anything |
but bed Of roses. The rough ele-
ment of the Gulch was opposed to in
novations Defeated at the polls, they |
went about cross-grained and venge-
full. There were mutterings of dis
content and yelled threats. The out
cast element, however, feared the
law, and the dignity and determine
tion of the judge had so far prevented
any serious outbreak.
Grifiths reached the Gulch Just aft
er dark. AS he passed the Red Beav-
er tavern he caught the echoes of
some wild iubilation. He learned it's
cause when he reached home. His
landlady looked frightened and agi-
tated.
"Oh, am so glad you have got
home safe!" she exclaimed. "They
have been here"

Painful Truth.

Miss Singwell had been a member
of the choral society ever since it
had been in existence, and it was un-
doubtedly true that her first youth
had waned, but the choirmaster was
astounded recently by the news that
she had resigned her membership.
Resigned" he gasped But what
ever for?"

the secretary, but it strikes me that
it may have something to do with the
solo we picked for her at the next
performance.

Beautiful Forgotten Beauty

20 not select plants that have
Eioomed profusely during the summer,
for 1t is against nature to expect them
to keep 1t up during the winter. Above
all. after deciding which pants shall
be potted for the winter display, keep
all the buds pinched out. Do not let
a single blossom develop until the
plants are established in their winter
quarters.
Do not leave plants in their beds
until forced by cold weather to take
them in. Plan to pot them while the
weather will permit having the house
open, making the change a gradual
one, for plants lifted and taken at
once into closed, fre-heated rooms
must show the effects Of the treatment
and will need weeks and weeks in
which to regain their beauty.
Another thing to be considered is
this: Plants grpwing in the open
ground make root-growth that very
often goes far beyond the limits OF
an ordinary pot or tub. To crowd these
roots into a pot too small for them
is to bruise item and cause decay
The better way, by far, is to cut down
all around the plants with a sharp
knife or spade, ten days or two weeks
before the plants are to be potted.
The sharp, clean cut heals quickly,

Faith is Boundless.
A volume could be written about
these avators and their ideas, but
suffice it to say that their faith in the
capabilities of the airship of the flu
ture is boundless. They say that
heretofore aviation has been princi-
pally the work OF dreamers, but that
now practical engineers are devoting
themselves to it. One Of them pre-
diets that within the next decade the
average professional man will own his
aerial runabout. He will not be afraid
of it, for it will be safe as the elevator
in a skyscrapcr. They point out its
superiority over the auto. Where
the auto is confined to a narrow road,
menaced by speed merchants" the
airship has boundlcss space both lat
eral and verticle. With an auto the
danger increases with the speed; with
an airship it decreases. The faster it
flies the easier it steers. And running
at hundred and fifty miles an hour
it would cut harmlessly through a
gust of wind that would stagger it
at fifty miles.
1t was a young army officer here,
Lieutenant Jones, who broke the Am
erican duration record, remaining in
the air nine hours and then coming
down because it was growing dark. 1t
was another army man-Captain Mil

that such flights are made by men who

that in order to make such a flight
they must hamper themselves with APP

with clothing until they are helpless
The army goes in for useful flying.
