DRAMATIC CHAIR UNLIKELY.
Large Fund Necessary for Establish
ment of New Course at G. W. U.

Establishment of a chair Of dramatic
art and playwriting at George Wash
ington University, which has been ad-
vocated by the Shakespeare Society, by
the George Washington University
Players and by L. II. Sothern, now
seems improbable for the Immediate flu
ture.
Rear Admiral Charles Herbert Stock
ton, Z. S. N, retired, president of the
university, estimates that the proposed
chair would require an endowment OF
approximately $4,000. While Admiral
Stockton is in sympathy with the move
ment for the establishment of dra-
matte department, he believes that the
way at present is not clear for the
raising of the required sum. Should a
movement be started by the Interested
parties toward raising the amount,
however, the university authorities will
give the project their Endorsement.
The university players virtually have
abandoned hopes for the present. in
view of the large amount required

Prices of Commodities in Belgium Climbing to
 Remarkable Heights.

~ The Hague, Netherlands, June 20.- N notwithstanding the good offices of the Belgian Relief Committee, the prices of articles of popular necessity ir Belgium have risen to unheard <Df heights. A lisc of some of these ar tic1es shows an average rise of 450 per cent. as compared with 1914. Ac cording to Belgian Nadvices, packet of household soap that formerly cost Il cents, now costs one dollar; coffee is $1.E0 a kilogram, as against 40 cents; sugar forty-two cei1ts, against fourteen; bacon or ham $1.20 as against 4Sf cents; tobacco eighty cents, against 30; butter, $1-40, against GA cents; prime beef, $1-60, against 60 cents; and cheese SIPS, against 4S cents.
 While regulations and maximum prices have been proclaimed by the authorities, it is declared that if one seeks any of the things thus officially regulated at the lawful price, the GUS toner is told that it is ''so1d out and the sale is made only secretly at any price the dealer can command.

s The thing for them to consider is not how much money they are get ting for a start, but whether they are in some place that is educating them for better things alter On-
 In many empIoyments requiring the finer discriminations, the new man is practically useless for year or two. He may be paid a little something to encourage him, but he makes more mistakes than his wages are worth. But, all the time he is learning things that may be of great value to him. He should reflect that a business training must be paid for as well as a scholastic one. A posi- ton in which good pay can be earned at the start is not apt to lead to any thing much higher. The size of the salary is a sign that the work is too easy to learn, and that it leads to no further advancement

MANY TROUT DIE IN DITCHES
 OF IRRIGATION

Thorough tests of devices to prevent fish from entering irrigation ditches are to be made by Forest Service of floors, who say that thousands of the trout placed in western streams by the government are killed through being carried into the ditches, and washed out on the fields There are not less than 1,2oO irrigation projects on or near the National Forests, and in many places the loss of trout is very heavy The amount of water used in irrigation, it is said, often determines the advisability of artificiany stocking the streams.
 The government annually plants large quantities of fish fry in the streams of the National Forests. Last year over 1s1oo,000 were planted in Colorado and Wyoming alone. This was done to render the Forests more attractive to the public by affording good fishing. Where much of the water is used for irrigation, unless the ditches are screened, the trout en- ter and are washed out on to the fields. While fish are said to make good fertilizer, officials think that trout are too expensive to be used for that purpose
 Most of the States in the West have laws requiring that the ditches be screened, but these laws are seldom enforced The farmers are said to dis like the screens, because they collect : drift-wood and trash-which pre- vents the free flow of the water Very often, too, it is stated the farmers can supply their families with mess of fish by collecting the trout which are found in the fields
 A number of devices for screening the ditches are in use. and while two or three have been found to be fairly effective most of them are said to be unsatisfactory It is asserted that this subject presents an excellent oppor- tunity for inventors, since a success fuI screen will be sure to be widely used- Under present conditions off, cials are slow to recommend that the trout be placed in streams where they are apt to be led off into the irriga- fion ditches-
