FOE OF THE COLLEGES.

OF all the foes of young manhood
on the American college campus. al
cohol is the most subtle and destruc.
tive. 1t is peculiarly fitting that the
American college student Of today.
wiser and better informed than his
predecessors, should give battle to his
ancient and merciless adversary. II
gravestones were placed on our col
lege grounds to those slain in the flush
of young manhood by intoxicating
drink, the acres of verdant lawn
around even Il best institutions
would become vast cemeteries CHASTITY
with thick-strewn headstones. With a
devilish instinct for maximum destruc-
tiveness, this demon Of the campus
seems to pick out for degradation the
gayest, the loveliest, the most talent
ed, and to reinforce his assault by en-
listing the social and generous in.
stincts which constitute the very
charm Of youth. Opening always the
gate to passion and appetite, he is the
aggressive ally Of everything which
degrades college life. the promoter of
tragedies innumerable on every cam
pus. the tireless enemy Of virtue, pur-
ity, diligence and intellectual develop
ment.-Henry Louis Smith, President
Washington and Lee University.

SCIENTIFIC INSTRUCTION. .

SCIENTIFIC INSTRUCTION.
In 1897 two leading professors OF
Germany sent to the men Of that u
try a pronouncement favoring total alb
s%tinence. 1t contained this declara-
ton:
Science has shown that alcohol,
even in moderate quantities. causes
disturbance in brain action, paralyzes
the critical capacity. power of will, the
ethical and esthetic sense, and lowers
self-control. For this reason we
should realize that it is a poison and
no longer to be classed with foods"
The document received nine sigma
lures. Ten years later it was sent out
again and received 800 signatures Of
German medical men. 116 Of whom
were professors.
In 1918 a great antialcoholic meeting
was held in the Prussian house of dep
uties. Berlin. The honorary president
was the German chancellor, DR.. Won
Bethmann-H ollweg, and on the commit
tee Of honor all the Prussian ministers
were represented and hundreds of EN-.
inent men Of the empire. Doctor Jen.
sen. inspector general Of the Berlin
schools, called forth much applause
when he said that "the education Of
youth is absolutely impossible with.
out an antialcohol element in it."
Since then such instruction has been
made a part Of the regular course in
the public schools Of Germany, and
entire courses in that subject are Of.
fered by the great universities.

COLOR SCHEMES IN GARDENS
Matter In Which America Might Profit
by the Example Set by English
Landscape Artists.

Little attention is paid to garden
color schemes. less in California than
elsewhere, for the reason that every
thing blooms so riOtously here that
we deem attempts at control quite un-
necessary, says the Los Angeles
Times. The English are the great
color artists Of the garden and they
have garden books upon this subject
alone. Sometimes colors are used for
effects not necessarily allied to har-
mony, as when yellow is used on
, points thrust forward to shorten the
apparent distance and blue Is used to
deepen the recesses and make them
appear farther in the distance.
Many Of the good-sized local gardens
have long borders where color schemes
could be wrought with ANIMALS or
perennials, or with both. Remember
two points which may be called funda-
mentals: White is the one great neu.
trailer or harmonizer in flowers and
| gray performs a similar office in foil
age. Borders in which white flowers
and gray foliage heavily predominant
may have any and all colors In har-
mony so long as they do not mix, but
have between them a mere touch OF
white. Such a peace-maker is often
more necessary between shades closely
allied than in marked contrasts. Thus
with two shades of pink the lighter ap-
pears washed and faded in close com.
p~arison with a deeper and therefore
stronger. hue. Even great masses of
white relieved by an occasional touch
of any color never appear monotonous.

Arrangement Of Street Lamps.

A recent investigation of the rela-
tive merits of parallel and staggered
arrangement of street lamps is most
interesting, since it discloses that from
an ornamental viewpoint the former Is
preferable, while, from a utilitarian
viewpoint, the latter is preferable un.
der certain conditions. BY parallel ar
rangement is meant the placing Of
lamps so that they come opposite each
other, while staggered arrangement
means that the lamps on mi side of
a street are placed so as to come half
way between those on the opposite
side. In general, the staggered ar.
rangement furnishes more uniform H.
Elimination. However, where the
street width is not much greater than
the distance between lamp standards,
the parallel arrangement is preferable.
In instances where the street width Is
considerably greater than tho spacing
Of the lamps, the staggered arrange
ment will give the best results.-Sci.

Once upon a time there were two
sisters. one was called sunshine be-
cause she was always laughing and

Tho other sister was called Clouds,
because she was so cross-looking and

Sunshine fand Clouds lived with
their uncle. who was a miser, and
when they grew up he thought they

each Of them a pail filled with food
and told them they must go away and

They walked a long distance the
first day without finding work, and
when it came night they sat under q

BACKYARD GARDENS BY BOYS
Government Specialist Says Children
Are Able to Garry on Larger
Projects Than Expected.

Boys and girls are able to carry on

formerly believed" says DR.. c. d.
Jarvis, the government specialist in
children's quarters.
There is no trouble in stirring up
interest in growing things where chill
dren are concerned" he adds. land
many little gardeners have utilized
every inch, otherwise unproductive
enough, of their back yards. Often,
however. there is a shortage Of pen.
MES wherewith to buy seeds; and to
supply these gratuitously, and still to
teach children the value of money and
give them business experience, is a
delicate problem. Most of the chill

GOOD LINE OF BUSINESS.

1t was at a campaign meeting in
Ohio. The speaker said that West Vir-
gania had profited financially by vot-
ing dry. A nan in the audience dis
puted this statement. He said that
he was a salesman. that he visited
every county seat in West Virginia.
and that his business had fallen off
considerably since the state went dry.
Another man spoke up and said that
he was a salesman and made" West
Virginia regularly and that his bust.
ness had increased since the state be-
came dry. He asked the fellow who
reported a falling of what his line
was and the latter reluctantly admit
ted that he sold u%ndertakers' supplies,
at which the crowd yelled. The man
who declared that prohibition had
helped his business explained he sold
furniture.
