Something Wrong
CFrom BrattlebOro Reformer,

The famous Middlebury dashboard
case was supposed to have been settled
after II years of litigation, when
Judge Darling AS special, referee,
awarded the claimants over 100000,
Now the defendants have filed a
motion to set aside the report Of the
referee. 1t is this kind Of long-drawn
out struggle, whereby the lawyers are
able to keep case IN court for years
and until after some of the persons
seeking damages are dead that dis
gusts the ordinary layman. There is
something wrong with our forms of
legal procedure when a case can be held
up II years or longer without settle
ment being made.

$4,000 PROFIT FOR YOUR BOY
That's What College Education
Means in Average Case
LFrom Worlds Work

Dean Holmes of the Pennsylvania
State College, after spending months
gathering statistics and reducing them
to orderly form, has discovered that the
money value of four years at college is
$2O, 900, or financial return of SIS, 600 for
every year so spent, Dean Holmes in
vestigations reveal the fact, which at
first seems a little dlsconcertng to the
advocates of university training, that
the average earnings Of bachelor of
art amounts to 81, 1877 year, not quite
$25 week. But the situation brightens
for the college when we learn that
the average earnings Of the non college
man are only $5lS-not $40 a week.
The difference between these two sums
is 1863, and since the average man lives
thirty years after leaving college his
financial reward for four years of more
or less arduous undergraduate toll is
evidently something more than $40,
600.

GERMANS TAKE RIGA

Riga, Russia big port on the Gulf of
Riga, is in the hands of the Germans,
and its garrison and the civilian poplla
ton are in retreat eastward.
Following up rapidly the advantage
they gained in driving the Russians
across the Dvina river, on both sides of
UXhull, last Saturday, the Germans
threw bridges across the stream and
soon were on the heels of the former
defenders, some Of whom offered re-
sistance but others of whom showed
the white feather, giving the invaders
no trouble in marching up the eastern
bank of the Dvina toward Riga - Is
miles distant. Seeing the disatfection
and the inability to stem the tide of the
advance, the Russian commander
ordered an evacuation.
With the falling off of the Russians
from the city proper and the advance of
the German northward along both sides
of the stream, the Russians still defend
ing the western bank around Dahen
seemingly are in danger of being caught
between the two fast moving bodies of
the enemy and made prisoner.
Behind them the Russian in their re-
treat from Riga are laying the country
waste, burning villages and farms.

PRICE OF BREAD

Prospects of an early and radical re-

vanished tonight when Herbert Hoover,

the best the public may expect is a l6

cents.
The eight cent loaf of l6 ounces is
possible, Mr.. Hoover said, only if
