sAvITAR WILL BE DIFFERENT
This Years Book to Give More Pic
tares, Class Notes and Humor.

This Years Book to Give More Pic
tares, Class Notes and HRmer.
The same book, only different,
has been said OF the Savitars from
year to year but this time it will not
only be different, but will place new
emphasis on student activities and
give history of the year more COM
plete than the Savitar has ever done
before.
In the front of the book will be a
pictorial section In two divisions. The
East Campus and the West Campus.
connected by two-color title page
Of the new Library building. Anoth-
er pictorial feature that is new to the
Savitar will be an eight-page section
OF scenes around Columbia and the
campus-the beauty spot of nature.
Another new feature is the section
devoted to class organizations. There
will be review of the years activi-
ties of the class by the. president of
the class, and collection of humor-
GUS department notes. 1t is the aim
of the publishers to include in this
years book as many pictures as ever,
but TO economize on white space and
make the Savitar give a more de-
tailed history of the years activity.
"The special section devoted to
student activities will reflect the re-
ligious. musical, dramatic, debating.
athletic-in fact, all the activities of
students except study" said C. F.
Clayton, the editor.
"The section devoted to the Univer-
sity women Is to be the best ever"
say the publishers. Miss Hope Hib-
bard, a member of the Savitar staff. is
In charge of this department and al
ready the material is nearly all In.
Over a hundred students from va
rious departments are working with

Anybody can write story about
college life. II he has not attended a
college, so much the better. His I'M

simple rules must be observed, how
ever.
1. All heroes are named JACK
Stanley, or Dick.
2. All college men wear sweaters
always. and smoke short. fat-bowled
pipes.
8. There is always a FATTY" who
is a funny fellow.
4. Any four college men make up
a quartet, which can sing "Merhileeee
we ro-hull alonnng" at any time.
5. All college men are wooing a
girl named Dorothy or Betty, who is
"sweet and pure as an angel"
6. All college men adress one
another "old hoss.'
Z. College men never study, but
spend their time in tossing repartee
back and forth.

THE NEW BOOKS
Those Of His Own Household.

Captain Guen, an old seaman on
the coast of Brittany, is the princi-
pal character in Rene Bazin's book,
"Those of His Own Household" The
lives of his two daughters, Corentine
and Marie-Anne, are told in detail !;
but it is not in either of the two wom-
en- that the force of the story lies. It
is in the strength and self-sacrifice
and gentleness of the old captain
himself, whose whole life is willing
sacrifice for the happiness of his
children. The Characterization of
this man is very subtle, very clever,
and makes the strength of the novel.

THOSE OUT.OF-TOWN AGENTS.
One of the pressing needs of Co.
lumbia is higher out-of-town mer-
chants license. Thousands Of dol
lars worth of goods are sold In Co.
lumbia to students and townspeople
by statesmen from the larger cities.
In the last few days, shoes and
clothing, worth $1,000, were sold in
Columbia. They were sold, not be-
cause of a superior quality, but for
purely psychological reasons. Peo-
pie are vain in that they like to boast
that their clothes are made by we'll
known firm in a large city.
incidentally, comparison of quail
ity and price will show that they
really paid more than they would
have here at home.
At present a salesman can solicit
business in Columbia by paying an
out-of-town merchants license OF 80
the first day and 81 each succeeding
day. Columbia should stand by her
business men and give them more
protection in the way of higher Ii
cense.

NANCY PARKER.
Margaret Hill McCarter very ap-
propriately could name this book
"The Call ofsthe Sunfower," for the
story is first of all story Of Kansas,
of Kansas in the making. To the
t'old-timers" who helped the strug-
Cling state of Kansas from Civil War
times to the present, the appeal of
this book will be strong. The thought
expressed in the four lines of verse
above gives the sentiment Of the
winning of the Wilderness"
The story centers about Asher
Aydelot, one-time United States
soldier, who takes his young wife
from their Ohio home, out to claim
on the Kansas prairies. Here they
fight the deadly cold, the loneliness
and solitude, the scorching sun, the
driving winds, the fearsome drought,
even the plague of grass-hoppers.,
True pioneer endurance and pluck
enable them to tame the prairie, and
win the long struggle against the
forces of nature. "a. G. McClurg G

that all that need be done is to dis
pense with a sidewalk on the park side
ana provide instead a footway along

CONSTANTINOPLE
By Frederic J. Haskir

This Kitchen cabinet" was the real
power back of the throne and the real
Turkish nobility. 1t derived its in
comes in the most various and devious
ways. One, for example, collected sew
eral hundred pounds a month from
meat too carefully. Another got a
dollar for every sack of flour import
&c, while a third allowed a Kurdish
chief to supply his kitchens with but
ter in return for certain immunities.
So these astute gentlemen lived upon
the fat of the land and built splendid
palaces upon the Bosphorus.
Young Turks Organizers
Meantime, great doings were under
Leaders of the Young Turks, banished
to every capital of Europe, were
spreading throughout the empire a
constitutional propaganda. Men in all
sorts of disguises were going among
the peasants and the soldiers The
Sultan and his Kitchen cabinet" al
though they did not know it, now
stood almost alone. The spirit of
fear, which was their strength among
tho people, was being slowly trans
muted into the spirit of liberty. When
the time for the revolution came
there was none to resist. Save that a
policeman was shot for tearing down
the banner of revolution in one city
and a dozen of the Sultan's spies were
hanged in another, it was almost
bloodleSs. Great crowds surged be-
fore the Sultan's palace and besought
him with tears in their eyes to take
an oath of allegiance to the constitu-
ton. He and his forebears had tyr
raniZed over them for centuries, but
the spirit of loyalty was strong. Abdul
Hamid, however, apparently unmoved
by these great events and seeking only
to conserve his own power, turned
them away with some adroit words
Whereupon, the leaders of the Young
Turks went to him and made him take
an oath upon the Koran.
Undoubtedly, this was one of the
most remarkable revolutions in the

and foot by a tyranny which construct
ed even their private lives. They
might not walk where they would, mol
say what they thought, nor worship
as they pleased. They paid their earn
ings to thieves in high places and lived
in a squalor which they could not es-
cape. Suddenly, this people awoke to
! the knowledge that it was free. Shout
ing crowds ran through the streets OF
Constantinople and gathered about the
orators of the Young Turks on every
corner. Priests of different faiths
who had never looked upon each
other, now saluted with a kiss. Greek
and Jew and Turk frolicked together
with the fraternal freedom of religious
tolerance.

CITY AND STATE

.NNE of the favorable signs of the
~ general interest in the work of
the City Planning Commission is
the widespread discussion of it's sew
eral projects for the improvement of
the traffic conditions, especially in a
reconstruction of the Market street
subway and the proper treatment of
communication between the Allison
Hill section and the Capitol Park
zone. All manner of suggestions have
been submitted by interested citizens
and these suggestions indicate an in
telligent study of the problem. It is
by reason of this attitude on the part
of our citizens generally that the city
planners are encouraged to go for
ward in their comprehensive and
fruitful work.
Growing out of the Capitol Park
problem is the decision to widen the
streets on three sides of the Capitol
and North streets and it is. clearly
the intention of the State authorities
to broaden these highways so that
there may not be the congestion which
has heretofore been the cause of SO
much criticism. With the develop
ment of the Commonwealth, the Capt.
itol and it's surroundings are certain
to grow in Importance and for this
reason, if for no other. the streets
leading to the State House should be
commensurate with the dignity of the
structure and it's environment.
/ The widening of North and Walnut
streets is comparatively easy pro-
position. as is also the increase of the
width of Third street between Wal.
nut and North. This is made pos.
Isible through suggestion of an emf.

MYTH the dllies striking at it by
wv land and sea through the Dar-

WTaan ant the ans aes striking at at IT by
danelles and the Germans
hammering their way toward it across
Serbia in order to effect a junction
with the Turks, Constantinople is one
of the greatest strategic points of the
war. Built at the natural entrance to
the Orient, standing between the Mos
lem and Christian civilizations, Con-
stantinople has been an objective in
every world war since Emperor Con-
stantine built it to be the Rome of the
East.
What will be the fate of CONSTANT
nople in the present struggle is an es-
pecially interesting question because
of the great changes that have taken
place in that city as the center of the
Turkish Empire during the last seven
years. After centuries of Oriental
somnolence, untouched by the mighty
changes that swept over the West,
Constantinople has at last awakened
to the new spirit of liberty and, under
the leadership of the Young Turks, is
working out her own destiny along
modern lines. That destiny may be
greatly changed by the events of the
European war, although at present
both Constantinople and Bagdad are
resisting invasion with vitality and

This new Oriental efficiency is i'm
bued with the spirit - the Young
Turk, which has possessed Constanti-
nople since the revolution of 1908.
Mystery and Dirt
Prior to that time, Constantinople
was the city of the Arabian Nights, a
place of mystery and dirt, of beauty
and squalor, the seat of a govern
ment by stealth and oppression and
extortion. It's ruler was the Sick
Man of the East; it's people lived still
in the Middle Ages.
At that time, Turkey was an abso-
lutte monarchy, with the Sultan as its
temporal head. Being recognized as
the chief successor of the Prophet, he
was also it's spiritual head. In ef-
feet. Turkey was not q nation at all
but simply region Inhabited by many
different races, held in check by the
all-powerful Moslems.
This rule of the Sultan was a thing
most picturesque. Owing responsible

DON'T HIDE THE CANDLE

DO4N Il NEANDIIEI
TUCH credit must be given the
Vl Motor Club of Harrisburg for
it's excellent work in marking
the Lincoln Highway feeders between
this city and Gettysburg and also
along the other route to Lancaster, as
well as the road between Harrisburg
and Chambersburg. While the winter
weather interfered with the compile
ton of the undertaking, the club will
see that the markers are all in posi-
the tourist travel.
The public generally, perhaps, does
not appreciate the Importance of the
activities of this livewire organization.
Harrisburg is becoming more and
more a center of automobile travel,
and with the opening of the William
Penn Highway through the Juniata
Valley between Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, this city is bound to take
it's proper place in the highway sys-
tenn of the country.
1t remains for the merchants and
the businessmen of all classes to do
their share toward the development
of Harrisburg as the hub of the State.
We have the great Capitol and it's art
treasures, in addition to an extremely
picturesque and attractive city to
draw the strangers from afar, and it
only remains that these visitors may
be familiarized with the features
which ordinarily invite the stranger.
OF course, we are still short on
hotel facilities, but this glaring need
degree against proper effort in the
bringing of the great throng of tour
lists to this city.
Fortunately, we have the Chamber
of Commerce, the Rotary Club and an
army of intelligent and appreciative
statesmen, every one of whom is an
enthusiastic missionary and these
agencies and instrumentalities are CO.
operating with our citizenry in plac-
ing Harrisburg upon the map of the
United States everywhere.
1t is generally believed that we are
ABOUT TO enter upon anOIHer DeflOu
of remarkable development and it is
the business, and ought to be the
pleasure, of all the people to stand
shoulder to shoulder in the advance
ment of the best interests of the city.
We may safely leave to the Motor
Club an important part of this work.
1t has demonstrated over and over
again its ability to handle things well
and nothing that it has achieved is
more beneficial than the marking OF
the highways leading to Harrisburg
so that he who runs may read-with-
out stopping his machine. AS a mat
ter of fact, every highway, good and
bad, one hundred miles in every di-
rection from Harrisburg should be
conspicuously and intelligently mark
ed so that the stranger cannot miss
this city.
| We must not hide our candle under
bushel; it should shine not only
on Christmas eve, but throughout the
year and wherever possible to display
the flame.

consideration of the question numerl-
cally is likely to be misleading.
In New York State, for instance,
there are nine guilty national banks
out of ATS, and it is suggested that
the nine offending banks are little
institutions which have small part of
the $165,000,000 of capital and a
still smaller proportion of the ST.
$50, 100000 of loans and discounts.
In Massachusetts there are three
offending banks out of 170. and in
Virginia five out of 1876. Most of the
trouble seems to be in Georgia, where,
according to the comptroller, sixty
six banks out of 113 are Offenders and
the capital stock of all the national
banks in Georgia is only three-fourths
of the capital stock of the Continental
Chicago, while the loans and dis
counts of all the national banks in
Georgia, $62,0O0,0OO, are approx
mately equal to the loans and dis
counts of the Irving National Bank
of New York. Alabama figures in
about the same proportion, with Texas
as a close second.
1t is the opinion of the banking as
sociation, which has called Comp
troller Williams to account, that his
statement is absolutely misleading
and unjustifiable so far as it relates
to national banks in general. He is
charged with doing an injustice to
the majority of national banks, and
as the chief offenders seem to be in
the Southern and Southwestern
States the bankers believe they are
warranted in the statement that the
alleged practice of usurious interest
rates is not general and is confined
to particular sections.
