Large Attendance
 at the Colleges

at the Colleges
 6THE war will cause falling off l in attendance in many colleges throughout the country, but it will not be as noticeable as had been ex- pected. Here in Alabama the enroll ment of freshmen for the year 1917-1S is very large-at Auburn larger than ever. Also the sophomores are up to normal in attendance. The decrease is in juniors and seniors because, be- ing of draft or enlistment age, they are in the army.
 Many boys from the farm who will attend college will not present them selves until the closing days of the year, because they have to help in the harvest and in late fall seeding. With bumper crops and scarcity of negro labor every youth will be needed at home more than ever.
 But after the holidays there will be a rush of boys of freshman age. The years attendance, therefore, will be up to the average, or even better.
 Every year the popularity of col lege education increases. And in no department of industry is technical training more important than on the farm. No ambitious boy starting out to be a farmer will be satisfied until he understands the scientific side of agriculture. He must know the "rea- son why" of everything pertaining to soil and plant life food and of ani- nal husbandry. The Alabama Poly technic institute has accomplished wonders and it's future is full of promise.
 The Nashville Banner has entered the Sunday morning field The first edition 1 contained s2 pages and If the business carried in this initial number is any cri- l terion, the Banner will find it's venture highly profitable. The Banner has pros- pered greatly in the afternoon field and ranks among the south's most substantial newspapers. It bids fair to duplicate this success as Sunday morning paper.

Silence is Golden

All efforts to make John Taylor speak at the real estate luncheon yesterday failed. Many were the calls for him, but he refused positively to talk John B.

The business unscrupulouaness Of
perfectly good women is thing at
which I continually marvel.
The other day 1 heard this CONVEX
sation between two women.
The first, What do you suppose I
did? I had on a pair of new silk
stockings and I was reading and a
mosquito bit my ankle and I rubbed
1t and rubbed it and all of sudden
I found I had rubbed through the
silk"
The second, Take them right back.
Tell them you got a hole in them
the first time you wore them"
But they will say l shouldn't have
rubbed them so hard
The second, Don't tell them any
thing about that
She Felt Some Qualms or Conscience.
The first, II don't know as I ought
to do that
The second, But those stockings
with hole in the ankle are no good
to you. You can't ever mend them
so it won't show"
Could anything be more naive than
that entire sidestepping Of the ques-
ton whether it was the right thing
to do, by bringing up the fact that
the stockings were useless. That ap-
parently justified in her mind the
demand for a new pair

SIDE TALKS
The INSCRIPTIONS Woman
BY RUTH CAMERON

have wondered. But the second
speaker was woman of about thirty
five, excellently educated and ex-
tremely conscious about many things.
She will not even go to a place where
drinks are served because she says
that countenances the business. And
yet she would not hesitate to use
INSCRIPTIONS methods of getting her
money back for a pair of stockings
she herself had spoiled.
I Should Have Thought Her Word
Sufficient.
Here is another case. A very high
bred, sweet appearing woman on
whose sense Of honor 1 would have
staked much, let a house to some ten
ants, giving them a two years lease.
The month after it was let she tried
to sell it over their heads, calmly ex-
planning that her lawyer had told her
a two years lease didn't hold. T
should have said that her word alone
would have been sufficient guarantee
and here she was trying to avail her
self of some lawyers bubble to break
her bond. And yet she is one of the
most refined, most we'll bred, most
conscientious appearing women I
ever met.
Or course men are INSCRIPTIONS
too, but not the kind of men who
in the community
frank goodness women are growing
away from such upscrupulousness
But altogether too slowly!

Mace between Kenneth Harlan, as
The Stranger, and Melbourne Mellow
ell as Black Jack Hovey. A company
of nearly 800 people. including thirty
Eskimos and their dog teams, enact
their narts in this scene. Others in the
cast are Margaret Thompson, Carl Ull-
man and May Palmer. The play was
directed by Charles Miller.
How the innocent sometimes have to
suffer for the guilty, is brought out
In the Edison picture Light in Dark

LEASED through Kleine- Edison SeHg-
Essanay. How Ramsey Latham is
made to do his bit" in jail. how he

ture to be shown at the Lyceum thea
ter Wednesday and Thursday.

EVERY GIRLS DREAM"
ATTRACTION AT FOX'S

1t is highly evident that that smtl-
ing darling Of the photo-play world
has not yet reached the pinnacle Of
the magnificent success that is ahead
Of her. for her work in her latest
production, Every Girls Dream
which is the feature of the present
Fox program, is vastly superior to
anything that she has ever accom-
plished before. AS the little Dutch
beauty in the first part Of the pic
ture, she smiles her way into the
hearts Of everyone, and it is safe to

New Britain admirers by the score
yesterday, she can count them by the
hundreds today, for she has won a
permanent place in the hearts Of
everyone who saw her yesterday in

itself Is a novelty from start to finish.
It's story is new, and original, with a
few twists in it that rank it among
the best that havee come out of the
William Fox studios for a long time
The scenery and photography are Of
the kind that would go far towards
making picture a success even with
cut so charming a star.
And Charlie Chaplin too. is adding
lous situations he gets himself into in
| ''Shanghied," something different from
| all his other masterpieces of visibility.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sidneye Drew help
| things along considerably in their
latest domestic skit, 1.-THE Hypichon-
| driac," in which Sidney undertakes to
cure Mrs. of her imaginary illnesses.
Among the other features Of the ex-
cellent program is a most interest

this immortal actress, returns in one
of her most successful five-reel
dramas, Her Double Life" and the

in their latest production, "Richard

Where Do You Stand7

Someone has divided mankind into
four classes-those who consistently
do less than is expected of them;
those who do what is expected OF them
but no more; those who do things
without having TO be told. and finally.
those who have the magnetic power OF
inspiring others TO do things. .
All the failures In this world are
recruited from the first class. Tho
second class comprises those who
scrape along In some form of drudgery
or hackwork. Men OF the third class
are always In great demand In the fac
tory and In the office, but the fourth
class represents the highest rung in
the ladder OF success.
In the world of industry the fourth
class Is attained by the diligent few
who have caught the spirit OF their
task and are able to impart It to the
men under them. They are the men
who. without being slave drivers, are
able to increase the output OF an In
dustrial plant - Industrial Conserve

BIGGER HIP POCKETS

OF Columbia, Washington, where the

ing whatever to say regarding the laws
under which they live. These laws are
made by members OF Congress, men
who come from all points of the Union
and who have no personal interest
whatever in the city or the people for
whom they lesis!ate.
An instance of this was shown when
the Sheppard bill prohibiting the sale
of liquor within the District OF Colum-
bit, but allowing purchase of all the
intoxicants one might desire for per.
sonal use, came up in the Senate. A
resolution to send the proposal to a
referendum of the people was defeated.
The people most affected were TO have
no voice in the matter and Washing.
ton will be without thirst parlors after
November 1st next if the House con.
ours in the bill which the Senate
passed.
The measure looks like a sop 70 the
prohibition propagandists. II is not
prohibition measure by any means.
1t simply cuts out the public drinking
places and makes every man who
wants to drink his own saloon. Any.
one who has the price can get all the
intoxicants he wants under the meas
ure, the only difference being that ia
will have to get ii in large instead OF
small quantities.
! What an impetus this law will give
to the moonshiners who are doing
business in the hills and woods just
outside Washington. Back in 1898
when the soldiers were mobilized- at
Camp Alger, Fairfax county, theH,ilh-
der prohibition, was alive with ilIicit
whisky venders, who had their head
quarters in the out OF the way places,
of which there are many.
A measure such as the Sheppard bill
is not one for temperance. II will
simply give the tailors work enlarging
the size of hip pockets.-Oswego On.
