he stopped for a moment, and looked
out On to the busy gymnasium floor.
Then some other men," he con-

Women Win In Russia.

Moscow university, the oldest and
most authoritative university In the
empire, has ever kept its doors fast
against feminine ingress. Now. at
last, this barrier has been swept away,
and the Russian ministry of education
and the faculty council of the univer-
sity have announced that hereafter
women will be admitted In full equal
ity with the men, in all courses.
The faculty council, in providing for
this new arrangement, has stipulated
that the woman students desiring to
matriculate into the university, must
do so by examinations held In the
boys gyrhnasia. The gymnasia, In Rus
STA, cover the curriculums undergone
in America by the high school and the
freshman and sophomore years of col

The women's institutes are not as

this reason that the university de-

EFFORT TO ERADICATE RAT
Government officials Make Public a
Report on the Work Of Extermi-

The connection between rats and
plague has led to the accumulation of
Information regarding the frequency of

tons as well as their destructiveness.
studies have been made which throw
light on the question of the number
or parasites which have been permit
ted through carelessness to exist In the
immediate neighborhood of man. Until
these comparatively recent investiga-
tons scarcely anyone would have be-
ieved how large a number of rodents

cially those which have q series Of
docks and wharves. A special report
Of plague eradication work at New
Orleans, made by the surgeon In charge

Ice work at that point, contains rath-
er startling Illuminating facts concern
Ing these parasites, says the Journal
OF the American Medical Association.
1.-THE total number Of rodents cap
tured up to November Is of the last
year runs up to 497 $685." says the
writer. Some idea of the immense la
Dor and the meticulous care required
for thoroughness In sanitary work may
be gathered from the fact that over
100000 of these rodents had been ex-
amined up to the same date, and,
though altogether only 265 cases of ro-
dent plague were discovered, 1t is easy
to understand how much of q danger
for the dissemination of the disease
these animals were. Until the actual
report, 1t would have been almost i'm
possible to believe that a city like New
Orleans, with its 100000 rodents, ac-
tually harbored a larger population of
rats and mice than 1t did of human
beings.
New Orleans is probably no worse
In this regard than most of the coast
cities of the southern part of the coun-
try, at least, and it is probable that as
careful a hunt for the creatures would
reveal their presence in proportionate
numbers yer in many of the towns of
the interior.
Coast cities like New Orleans, San
Francisco, Seattle and some of the 9TH

obliteration of their rodent parasites

The Armenlans.

The New International Encyclopedia
says: by language the Armenians,
or, as they call themselves, Haik, are
entitled to rank as a very old branch
OF the Aryan stock, In some respects
intermediate between the Aryans of
Europe and the Aryan peoples of mid
die Asia. Physically also they are of
a primitive type. short and thickset,
dark-skinned, and of exaggerated
brachycephalism, In part artiicially
induced. They are thought to be re-
lated, on the one hand, to the Alpine
stock of Europe, and on the other to
the G~altchas, ETC., of central Asia.
They Inhabited In early prehistoric
times a considerable portion of Asia
Minor, and have contributed to, or bor-
rowed from, Aryans of other types.
Semites, Caucasic peoples, and later
intruding Europeans and Turks. Prof.
f. Won Luschan (1911) is of opinion
that the modern Armenians are the
descendants Of the pre-Semitic popu-
lation of the region, whom he identifies
with the old Hittites. He also believes
that from this same Armenoid ace
came the so-called Alpine race of
Europe"

Gulf Fish Killed by Gas.

Reports received by the United
States bureau Of fisheries show that
there were two recent periods of heavy
mortality among the fishes on the west
coast of Florida. between Naples and
Sarasota for Is or 20 miles of shore.
Outbreaks of this phenomenon, which
appears to be due to natural causes,
occurred on October 8 and October 1S,
1916.
The beaches were lined with wind
rows of dead fish. Persons living in
the vicinity were affected with in
flammation of the mucous membrane
induced by some gas, presumably sui
phur dioxide, given off from the wa
ters. There is ground for the belief
that the conditions are attributable to
s~ubterranean disturbances and the re-
lease of poisonous gases which rise
and pollute the waters.-AI Outdoors.

That iron is the very basis of our In

generations. This is a preposterous
point of view, because as we lower

 Secret of His Power.
 In Houston, Texas, in the year 1858, Edward NJ. House was born. He was educated at the Hopkins grammar school, New Haven. Conn, and at Cornell university. He has been active all his adult life in Democratic politics. but never has been candidate for of fee.
 Add to these admittedly meager de talls one fact and unquestionably you will have the secret of this mans pow CT to attract other men to him for the purpose of consultation on really high public matters. From the day that he was old enough to undertake serious study, Edward NJ. House has been deep in the books of politics, economics and legislation. He has marshaled in his mind all the greater events which have happened in these three words. More over, he has the men, the things and the motives connected with each case constantly in procession before him. He is quick to trace a cause to an ef- feet, or to go the reverse route. He has been student of human nature as it has shown itself in many of the great problems of human life. This means that he has in him. or at any rate men believe that he has in him, the qualifications which go to make up n sound diplomat.

 able Relic.

c. F. Buchholz of this city has charge of company Of men who are dyna- hitting drainage ditch east of here about four miles. says the Falls City correspondent of the Omaha World Herald. The purpose is to loosen the dirt so 1t may wash and both widen and deepen the ditch and prevent over flows. The dynamite shakes side walls and bottom.
 After an explosion the other day a large portion of the south side wall caved down. exposing a large vase about nine feet below the surface. The workmen thought the pot might con tain valuables and made further in- vestigation, which disclosed no Span ish gold. but the pot itself is a fine ex- ample of the work of the prehistoric race which inhabited this section in bygone ages. The pot is blackened on it's interior as if it were from fire. It was imbedded in stiff clay and the ground about showed no appearance of having been disturbed. A number of photographs of the pot before it was removed were taken to show the depth and location.
 The pot was found to be about eight cen inches deep with an opening at the top about the size of an ordinary table plate, while it might measure three feet in circumference at the middle. Some distance farther down the rayine some bones were found.
 The pottery was brought to town and will be reassembled, as the blasting powder used in the ravine had caused parts to crack and drop out.

 Has Studied Hard.
 I have talked to Colonel House and have learned things which make me feel that I shall not go wrong when l try to put an interpretation upon some of his methods of doing things. He is free enough to say that he has studied hard at economic, political and leS's- lative subjects. He probably even would he willing to admit that he ] thinks the results of these studies con l tinued and their results retained. have enabled him to be of some service when men were seeking information concerning events in the past whItA } have relation to events in the present or events expected in the future.
 Therefore, there is here n man who 1 has held what he has studied, who has collated and correlated the hap penings of history, who has drawn 1 lessons from them, who takes an in- terest as deep in the living present as 1 he does in the dead past, and who men 1 believe is able to make his knowledge serviceable. for old as it is let us say i it, history repeats itself.

Knowledge Is Power.

It Is true that knowledge is power, but how to use this power is another question, and means the learning of another lesson. The Persians have this significant and clever saying: Tt takes ten pounds of common sense to carry one pound of learning. As common sense is not so very common after all. it will mean diligent use of the means to gather ten pounds to carry the one pound of learning, but it can be done How much better to do it, than to lose the power of knowl-
