CLEAN UP THE CAMPUS

Spring is coming, and the time Is

to be more definite, in keeping our
campus clean and orderly.
There are two particular ways in
which we can help, one negative,
one positive. First, don't throw
things down! How would it be If
every day every person in school
should throw away a crumpled
piece of paper? And have you any
more right to do this than the other
person? Surely it is not so difficult
to thrust such waste into pocket
or to carry il in the hand until one
reaches the waste paper barrel.
The second point is this: pick
things up! If you start that most
useful habit it will not be long be-
fore your subconscious mind will
step in TO help you, and you will
pick up a disflguring paper as nat
urally as you walk. Try it and see.

Mankind is divided into two
classes. Either carried to the ex-
tremes is bad. The one is cold and
intellectual; the other emotional and
vacillating. Hamlet analyses, doubts,
distrusts. the intangible, lacks-faith
in himself and others. He is skeptic
and will accomplish nothing. Don
Quixote fights against windmills and
mistakes a BARRIERS plate for the
magic hemlet Of MabrinO. He has
faith and enthusiasm but no direct
ing intellect; he will accomplish
nothing. II is the men who have

HUNGARY is NOW BANKRUPT
Magyar Political Economist Says In
terest on Debt Almost Equals
National Production.

DIR. EIDE Palyi in a recent article
In the Az Est of Budapest, entitled
Hopeless" makes some startling reve-
lations In regard to the state finances
Of Hungary, according to the New
York Times. Doctor Palyl is not only
prominent Magyar political econo-
mist, but he is an ardent supporter Of
close economic relations with Germany
He leads up to the statement that
Hungary is insolvent by pointing out
that while the productions of Hungary
realized in the. year before the war
$685. 100000, the war had cost the
state up to March 1, $4,000, 900 900, and
that an equal amount would be neces-
sary to liquidate national expenses at
the close of the war-if the end came
soon. Hence, while the whole ma
tional production has never exceeded
$3.50. 900, 900, the government will be
called upon to pay In interest alone
5000, 100000. This is, he says, why the
Magyars refused TO entertain the last
war loan, the true figures of which
have never been published He pre-
diets "a revealed catastrophe" with the
floating Of the new war loan.
"If the wage-earners," he declares
"were to pay so per cent income tax
and the farmers so per cent of their
produce in taxes, and the industrial
products were requisitioned entirely
even then the needs of the state would
not be covered. And If the state Were
to seize the entire agricultural prod
ucts of the country after the war from
the producer, $4,000, 900 would still be
wanting to cover the interest the state
has to pay on the war loans"

er to the surprise of everybody they
made one of the Windward islands,
and lay off and on for nearly q week.
The boys said the officers were sick
of salt, junk, and meant to have tur-
tie soup before they came home. But
after several days the Warren came to
the same rendezvous; they exchanged
signals; she sent to Phillips and these
homeward-bound men letters and pa
pers. and told them she was outward
bound, perhaps to the Mediterranean,
and took poor Nolan and his traps on
the boat back to try his second cruise.
He looked very blank when he was told
to get ready to join her. He had
known enough of the signs of the sky
to know that till that moment he was
going 'home." But this was a dis
tinct evidence of something he had not
thought OF, perhaps, that there was no
going home for him, even to prison
And this was the first of some twenty
such transfers, which brought him
sooner or later into half our best yes
sells, but which kept him all his life
at least some hundred miles from the
country he had hoped he might never
hear of again.
1t may have been on that second
cruise-it was once when he was up
the Mediterranean--that Mrs. Graft,
the celebrated Southern beauty of
those days. danced with him. They
had been lying a long time in the Bay
of Naples, and the officers were very
| intimate in the English fleet, and there
had been great festivities, and our
men thought they must give great

witness in a prosecution by the post

desiring to discredit Trollope's evidence,
which, by the way, was purely formal
asked If he did anything else besides his
official work. Trollope admitted that
he had written several books. What
kind of books?" asked counsel. "Well,
they are mostly novels" answered Troll
lope. Now, sir" persisted counsel, "is
there a word Of truth in any one of
them?" Why, they are words Of fic.
tion," was the reply. Never mind what
they ares is there a word of truth in
them?" Not If you put 1t that way"

elist Counsel tried 10 induce the jury
to acquit his client on the ground that
