Financial Assistance For
 Families of American Soldiers

It Is a matter of importance to the Red Cross that, at the instance of Secretary of the Treasury Mo Adoo, a comprehensive measure providing for the financial assist ance of the families of American soldiers and sailors has been intro duced in Congress.
 Henry P. Davidson, chairman, on behalf of the Red Cross War Coun- il, recently authorized the follow7 ing: ggA
 Obviously the task of providing for the financial Assistance of the families of our soldiers and sail ors is so large that the govern- ment alone can assume it. In no other way can the burden be dis charged fairly and as a matter of right rather than charity. No vol uutary organization, or organiza- tions, could adequately cope with
 Iuty of such magnitude"
 The bill, which was introduced in both Houses of Congress simultan- eously, represents g very careful study of the whole problem of possible dependency as a result of
 Ie war and Q conscientious esti- mate of the governments recogni- ton of it's responsibility.

COLLEGE LESS A LUXURY.

H One thing we may be seeing before long is better
chance for boys work their way through college, In
years. the tide has been going somewhat against

and Of the cost Of living has risen Meanwhile in
many college towns the number of jobs boy could find
to help meet his expenses, has fallen off,
Now, however, movement is upder way to bring the
college into three years. instead of four The plan
lis to cut out the long vacations and the col
lege plant all the year round No student would be
PEELED to attend in the months. But many boys
who could raise the money for three years attendance
when they couldn't raise it for FOUR and who want get
into business quickly possible would doubtless take
the chance gladly.
This doesn't yet meet the Of the boy who has
earn as he goes, you may say. He needs the summer
months to work on paying job, doesn't he?
Quite so but the plan provides for this ALSO 1t
divides the college year into four quarters each complete
in itself. When students money out when the
right job offers, be it summer winter he leave at
the end of any quarter and return when he peases All
he must do is to finish total Of twelve quarters mat
ter when he takes them. vs,-se.t
Already Leland Stanford and the University of Chi
cago have plan something like this. Now it is being
advocated at of the conservative eastern colleges
President Hopkins of Dartmouth admits there
objections but he says must do something to make
college education less of luxury, and in this he is
edy right.

Took Years

The list establishes the fact that 1884 is the magic
figure But your doubling friend will at say it is in
complete because Russia is left out of it. You show
him that the deposed car was born in 1863 assembled
the throne in 1894 had served % years when the
luton unseated him and is 49 years DID, and that these
figures, too, add up to 1884.
To determine when the will end, just divide 1881
by two and you get 1917. Simple, isn't it?
Of course if your friend is smart he will scratch his
head and go figuring and at he will find that
mans date of birth and his age will equal 1917 and if he
is little smarter than the ordinary he will proceed by
analysis to discover that the date any present ruler took
office added to the number of years he has served also
will make 1917 and finally that 1917 and 1917 make 1884
