INSURE LIVES FOR COLLEGE
Princeton Seniors Take Out So, 500 in
Twenty-Five Year Policies

The senior class of Princeton has
taken out life insurance policies aggre-
eating $43, 500, which amount will be
turned over to the university at the
end Of twenty-five years or sooner if
deaths occur, for whatever purpose
may then seem advisable.
This method of raising a class me-
mortal was adopted by the class in
preference to the old system whereby
each member of a class contributed
whatever he could afford to give. The
new method does away with contrib
uting a lump sum.
Up to the present 248 men have
taken out policies

EPOCHAL LEGISLATION OBJ
SECURED IN THE NEWS FIELD
(LeWiston Tribune).


| Two measures whose adoption ir
more tranquil times would arouse
widespread interest have just ended
their legislative pilgrimage through
congress and the dispatches were only
able to record the bare fact without
reporting their terms of significance,
OF so much greater moment are mill
tary and baseball details considered
by the wise autocrats of the news
services. One of these measures is
the rural credit and the other the
good roads bill. That the rural credit
act is at least potentially important
will not be disputed by any one, and
that is apt to prove so in actual op-
Grafton is a prediction that is justi-
fed in the fact that it has been fash
Toned largely by the same men who
were foremost in the formulation OF
the federal reserve banking system
If the twelve farm loan banks become
as useful, proportionately as the
eleven federal reserve banks are, the
event thus meagerly reported will be
epochal.
The good roads bill, now in the
hands of the president, provides for
an expenditure of $85,OO0,OOO of fed
eral funds on roadmaking within the
next five years. 1t applies the CO.
operative principle; that is, state
money must be forthcoming before
any of the federal fund made avail
able can be obtained. For the fiscal
years, 1917, 100000 is appropriated,
and increasing 100000 each year
until $25,OO0,0OO is appropriated for
the year 1921. These are the mini
mum sums. 1t is possible that con-
gress may appropriate additional
sums if in practice the system of fed
eral aid become popular.
The states must pay at least fifty |
per cent of the cost of any roads that
are built with this money, the secre
tary of agriculture cooperating with
the state highway departments in the
of plans. Funds are to
be apportioned to the states, one
third in ratio to the area to the entire
area of the country, one-third pro-
portion to population, and one-third
in proportion to mileage or rural de-
livery and star routes in each state
of the union.
In addition the bill carries an
approprIating 100000
a year for ten years for the construc-
ton of roads and trails in the ma
tional forests, the ALLEGATION to Idaho
being estimated at 100000 year,
but which south Idaho, through hav-
ng the entire congressional delega-
ion prepossessed in its interests, has
llready proceeded to preempt, in
claiming $4,000 a year for its pet
projects. Whether the operation of

R0PED HIMSELF TO BRIDGE
And Then the Youngster Let the Tide
Come In in True Melodrama
Style.

The colossal lie told by seventeen
year-cld John Streeper proved little
too much for him, and he was confined
to his bed with doctor trying to give
him something for his nerves. The
Police said it was not his nerves that
needed treatment at all; what he need
ed most was remedy for an over
grown imagination. The boy had the
police and detective forces of the city
in q fine frenzy for hours with his yarn
about being tied by four negroes to o
log under bridge for the tide to over
whelm as it rose inch by inch.
It was thriller for sure, and Streep
eT was tied to the log, but he had tied
himself. Color of truth was given the
boys colossal yarn by the fact that
negroes caught in robbery by his ia
ther had threatened vengeance upon
him, but that incident merely formed
the foundation for the fabrication. The
lad had remained out later than the
domestic law allowed, and it was nee
cssary for him to frame an excuse that
would go well with dad. The chief
incident Of movie" show he had wit
messed recently gave him all the cue
he required. He provided the scenario.

There are 9 good many saltwater
cataracts In existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile
and British Columbia, where narrow
fiords, or arms of the sea, are oh
structed by barriers of rock. The Yiy.
ing tide flows over and filters through
such reefs into the great natural res
srvoirs beyond, but the water is held
back at the ebb until 1t breaks over
the obstruction in an irresistible tor
rent. Most curious of all is the wa
serfall at Canoe Passage, where the
island of Vancouver approaches the
British Columbia mainland. Here the
