DEPARTMENT STORE
 HAS 300 IN ARMY

London, Feb. 15-One of London's oldest and largest department stores has three men in one regiment the Queens Waetninsters, at the front These men are officered by members of the firm and heads of various de- parements of the stors where they are employed. The founder of the firm, fifty y-six years ago in the first days of volunteering, raised a com pany which the firm put into uniform and maintained at it's own expense. This tradition has been continued ever since and the company maintained at the store has made an enviable rec ord in the country's militia taking many prizes by shooting and other military activities. Thirty five mem bersz of the company served in the South African war and thirty-three returning safely. resumed their work at the store.
 Enough employees volunteered to fill the company four times over at the outbreak of the present war and many unable to gain entrance into the regular store company have en- tered other regiments Since the storec ompany went to the front it has been engaged almost constantly in the fighting.

A UNIVERSITY ON THE ROAD
State Tours for Faculty Lectures Glee Club Concerts and Student Dramatics- s-st University Weeks"
 for Minnesota Small Towns

RICHARD R. PRICE

the University supplied the attractions and paid their railroad and hotel ex- penses, furnished the advertising matter in thew ay of bills, posters, and banners, as well as the tickets, and provided a manager to look after de- tails and conduct the program. Of course it would not be possible to furnish so much for so little money were it not for the fact that mem bers of the faculty and students do- nate their services. Even so, the Weeks do not pay their own way, but the University is glad to make up the deficit as contribution to social welfare and community upbui1ding.
 Does it pay? Assured1y in many ways The University gains a better which it serves-their social condi- tions. It does the professor good to get out of the class room atmosphere and rub up against humanity as found in the small town, After such an ex- perience he will have a better concep- ton of the home environment out of which the students come to hisc lass room. On the other hand the com munity finds that the university pro- lessor is a man and brother and not a high-brow or a fossil. Best of all, the community. usually absorbed in business, experiences 8 widening of the horizon and learns to think in terms larger than the local unit and to regard ideas without sole refer ence to money values. The usual result of a university week to any town is the strengthening and the up- building of community cooperation.

SUBWAY TUNNELS AS
 ZEPPELIN SHELTERS

London, Feb. 12-P1ans have been completed to permit London's vast floating population to. find shelter in the underground railway tubes in the event of hostile attack The city has hundreds of miles of subways, afford ing an. ideal place of safety from bomb or shell fire.
 The availability of the subways was first called to the attention of the authorities some weeks ago by an interprising citizen, Since that time detailed arrangements have been madef or the regulation of traf- fife if 8 raid comes. Special teIe- phones have been installed through out the system all employees have been instructed just how to act, and everything has been organized to pre- vent panic. Women and children will receive preference, but all those who seek shelter may do so without purchasing a ticket.
 In case of a, prolonged attack it is suggested that subway traffic be suspended entirely and the system converted into a stronghold superior to the forts of fuedal times.

 No detailed complaints of irregular ities have been made but the socialist group declares it has information con corning certain abuses.
