New York and Paris.

While am well rooted In my French

through the world, and one may be.
lieve me when say that have found
no city that more resembles Paris IN
its ways and the characteristics Of its
Inhabitants than New York. Even
London, admirable as 1t Is, Is more
apart. This Is not to say that New
York Is not profoundly original, but
that between 1t and Paris there are
parallel originalities. The gayety of the
streets; already certain aspects of pic
tnresque antiquity; the atmosphere Of
welcoming; the vivacious spirit, cordial
hospitality and xisintercsted enthusi-
asm for talent, merit or novelty; n GER
tain quickness to adopt and to discard
ideas, art movements and people; a
reStlessness at times too feverish; n
love OF pleasure, elegance and luxury;
a tendency to respond instantly and as
one man to any great and international
event--nll this Is what makes OF Paris

GOVERNMENT AID

Champaign ILL.,, Feb. 1S.-Rather
than submit to what it labels pestif-
erous interference by the United
States department OF agriculture. the
Illinois Colleg of Agriculture will
abrogate an agreement by which ii re-
eeiyes $1,000 a year from federal
funds for extension work.
Among the reasons given by Dean
Davenport for the break are the fol
lowing:
"One condition of this cooperation
was that the university should create
a division OF extension and that thru
this division we should expend all
moneys designed for extension work
from all sources whatever, state or
federal. 1t soon developed that in the
eyes OF the department this division
was a separate unit primarily ae-
countable 10 Washington
Against this unnecessary interior
ence this institution objected and
from it We diseutangle ourselves"
The university's action will have no
effect upon the Smith-Levar funds,
mainly used to assist in paying the
salaries Of county agricultural agents,
and amount TO $4,000 this year for
the state. This amount will be in
creased to sS0Gab next year.
