PULASKI HEIGHTS
 STREET NAMES
SUGGESTION MADE BY SECRE- TARY OF REAL ESTATE BUREAU
 TO PoPULARiZE NEW NAMES.

There is still some confusion in get ting the people to know the new names of Pulaski Heights streets s. R. Far ris, secretary and manager of the Lit tie Rock Real Estate Bureau, has writ ten Mayor Taylor as follows:
 'sAs you are aware of the fact that the real estate men of the city do in Pulaski Heights, and it is my ce- sire to see this uniform street scheme carried out, allow me to suggest that either yourself or MT. Streepey come before one of our meetings to be desig mated in the near future and give us an outline of this work as completed by your council. My idea is this: I want to get the cooperation of all the real estate dealers in using those street names in their advertising. As you well know, it is almost impossible to get the people to change from the old method of calling streets by their old names to the new ones. It is my opinion that now while the matter is fresh in the minds of the people is the best time to start the movement.
 "I also have in mind getting all the real estate dealers to have their maps corrected so as to show the new names of the streets. I think Miss Blaisdell. who made the maps, will do this work for a very nominal charge; then when anyone refers to the map for street number the new name will show up be- fore him, thus not only impressing it on the minds of us dealers, but the party to whom we are showing, as there is never day but. that these maps are not referred to, think this would be of great assistance in famili- iarizing the public.

HAS NOT BEEN EXPLAINED

 Negro.

Robert, aged IA, son of Mrs. Lula Crouch, 1122 Chestnut street, is recov- e-ing from the effects of mysterious blow struck upon his head last Satur- day night. Who struck the blow has not yee been explained. Dr. s. G. Boyce, the attending physician, had an X-ray picture taken Friday to de- termine if there are any fractures of the skull.
 Robert is bright boy. formerly em- ployed by the Pulaskian, and recently at the G. Fl. Mathis grocery store. Sat urday evening he and tpeorge Wftner- spoon, negro, employed by MT Math- is went to turn his horses into the pasture. The negro returned alone, and few minutes later Robert came later he toppled over unconscious, and an examination showed heavy welt on his head He was taken home aud medical attention summoned.
 After regaining consciousness, he said the negro struck him on the head with rock because he was not hurry ing back to the store, but later he said ue aid not know who struck him. He had no money at the time, so robbery could not have been the motive xse- tectives think the boy fell off porch and hurt his head. The evidence against the negro has not been suffl- cient to cause his arrest.

Many persons now seeking in vestment for their idle funds have found considerable diff culty in putting out their money advantageously Interest rates are low, demand for money light, and the temptation is to buy mortgages, stocks, etc, that might not be taken in other times. We wish to remind our friends and patrons that this is the time to be most careful, lest the desire to keep their money employed get the better of their judgment, and we strongly ad- wise against the purchase of mortgage loans based on narrow margins and of stocks depend ing for their success on the happy termination of specula- tive enterprises.

The COLLEGE Purpose

Formerly there was a good deal o
distinction in sending boy to college
Taking these higher courses of study
was an exceptional thing, The whole
town watched the student. He was
looked at as a scholastic wonder. II
was assumed he had literary and bookish
tastes, and he was considered as design
ed for learned profession.
The crowd that enters college portals
to-day is different. The number of those
seeking college degrees is multiplied
many times. To many of these and
some Others as well study, is mere side
issue. 1t is an unpleasant feature of the
course, to be evaded as far as possible.
With great numbers OF students the
dominating motive is to engage in ath.
letics and enjoy social life. With even
more, the motive is to make money.
The idea has become widespread that
the college man earns better pay, The
old scholastic ideals are gone with the
traditional burning of midnight oil,
Yet the change is not wholly bad.
Athletics and social life have their high
values. The mingling and conflict of
personality serves valuable ends. The
boy mayle learn more human ature, more
art of executive management in his
campus and fraternity life, than any
professor can teach him.
The great trouble is that prevailing
tendencies encourage young men to
undervalue the experience of the ages.
They NAV make successesin business even
ifthey neglect their studies. But they can
not be turned out broadly educated
citizens, unless they apply themselves
diligently to the search after wisdom.
After all, that is what the college is
chiefly for. When it turns out m ore
money getters, it misses, the purpose for
which it's endowments were created.

feed alley four feet in width, then man.
gers two feet and two inches in width,
cow stalls four feet six inches wide, a
gutter 20 inches wide, and outside of
all, walk four feet six inches in width
On account of the depth of the managers

cement being used in the construction of

DR.. AbbOtt'S Errors

Rev. Doctor Lyman Abbott, writing in
in the Outlook, says
"You ask me what l would have done
if had been President during the last
four years. l cannot tell you what 1
would have done, for the President is not
an autocrat. In deciding upon his pol
icies he must be guided by the advice of
his Cabinet, who are his chosen coun-
selors; and in carrying them into effect he
must be determined by the support he can
win from Congress"
Df. Abbott makes several errors in this
statement. Woodrow Wilson is of the
autocrat type, as his recordclearly shows.
He has never to any material extent
sought the advice of his cabinet. On the
contrary, he carefully chooses a cabinet
composed. with two possible exceptions,
of men obviously not selected for the
value of their advice, and one of those
exceptions was too much of man to re-
main in the cabinet. And finally, Mr..
Wilson has not only shaped his own
policies, without the advice of any one,
but he has utilized the power at his dis
posal to force Congress into passing
whatever measures he dictated, the single
exception being the shipping bill, which
Congress would not stand for in the form
it was drafted by Mr.. McAdoo, but
which it did pass in emasculated form at
the dictation of MIR. Wilson. Woodrow
Wilson has brought the Presidency
dangerously close to an autocracy.
