 The inventory discloses that he | made many unfortunate investments | for among his personal property were 2,000 shares of stock in mines, water and power plants, etc., in the west
 and in Mexico which are rated as ab- solutely worthless. There are also worthless bonds in the collection. These unfortunate ventures, it is
 thought by his friends, preyed on his
 mind and though the inventory dis | closes he was possessed of enough to keep him far from want, yet he believed as he often expressed him. self, that he was down and out" MT. Naylor was a member of the

Romei- July 21-A ministerial de- cree was issued yesterday placing the persons and property of Germans on the same footing as those of Austrians and Hungarians. The decree doesn'. directly mention Germans but states that allies of Austria are to be treated as enemies and their subejcts and goods are liable to sequestration.
 Prior to the war German property and interests in Italy were estimated to be worth $25O,00o.O 900. Their value Is now placed at about $15O,- olO, ,000.s There are only a few Ger man subjects in Italy and these will be either placed in concentration camps or sent across the Swiss bor- der.
 There has been strong agitation in Italy for some time for the break ing off of all relations with Germany. The curious situation caused by Italy being at war with Austria while nominally at peace with Germany, was emphasized by an agreement between Rome and~,Berlin, wherein all rights of the citizens of one country dom mated in the other were to be re- spected. On July 16 this agreement was renounced by Italy on the ground that it has not been. observed in Germany.

HIGH SCHOOL LECTURE COURSE

HIGH SCHOOL LECTURE COURSE
Present day methods of education
are frequently subjected to stern
criticism. Some valuable changes are
being made from within. Consider
for a minute Chancellor George H.
Bradford advocate of a stronger So
cial education This is his life story:
Born of poor parents in Illinois, he
found himself a few years later in
Denver. lad dependent upon himself.
He had hard struggle. He was de-
termined to get an education His
preliminary work was "just picked
up" and finally when he entered the
University of Denver he "got through
somehow"
He drove wealthy mans carriage.
He shoveled ashes and tended furnaces
at four o'clock in the morning-and
all that AS janitor at the Univer-
sity he swallowed more pride than
wholesome food. After graduation
he lost no time in getting to work.
To study the social side of educa-
tion Bradford kept away from school
and the accepted order of things. He
went where there was chaos, dis
order and social entanglement-whe
there wasn't much education but
where it was badly needed. He went
into the city slums and built on or
iginal lines sort of social educational
center. He made undesirable neigh
borhoods beauty spots.
When he felt that he had begun to
know something about education fo1
the masses he studied the same prob
| lem among the better classes Final
ly there came a call for a man of big
ideas, big purposes, strong character
originality and thoroughness. DR.
Bradford was made chancellor of the
Methodist University of Oklahoma.
Probably the theme which has at
tained greatest popularity through
his powerful presentation on the
platform is "Suncrowned Manhood
