travelling the route who later won con- spicuous positions. This also explains why it was commonly expected that the young man showing such eager ness for education as to milk cows, or scrub would certainly become a leader in congress, if not president. George Fitch, however, in his stories of good old Siwash," turned the light on the subject to the extent that working through college is now seen to be far from singular and also to have its ele- ments of the lark" When we hear that 50 per cent of the students of the University of Pittsburg this year are self-supporting that some of the indl-- viduals earn $50 a week as peddlers and that others have received satisfac- tory returns from hiring out to an un- dertaker as good looking pallbearers,' y we see further into the inwards of the thing. During. the Christmas season last year the students of Pitt earned S12,500. On account of the higher pay and the greater demand for help, they probably will earn much more this year.
 There are calls in now from the post office and department stores for 600 students. In the less prosperous year of 1916, the students of Pitt earned about 35,000 And the story of Pitt is but the story of that of every institu- ton of higher learning in the city. The young men have shown that they will do any work that is honorable, but just now, with employment so plentiful, it must be good coin producer.
 While work is plentiful everywhere now and generally during the holiday season, the earnings of students here will continue to show Pittsburg as par ticularly favorable to the young men working their way through school. As the young men are to be commended for their spirit, there also is pride for Pittsburg in the large number who al- ways found it city of opportunity. The impetus of 50 per cent of the boys of Pitt working this year makes use- full record for the institution.

PROSPEROUS DAYS
 FOR COLLEGE MEN
(Pittsburg Post)

It is no such picture we get of the students working their way through college these days as was wont to be drawn of their brethren of other times. Formerly there was supposed to be a hardship about it that caused the stu dents going through it to be looked upon more or less as heroes. Strange as it may seem, in view of there always being number going through school that way. the notion of singularity all so formerly was attached to the prac- ticc. This was due to the multitude's hearing olfy of the few individuals

Citizens Food Council.

Considerable good may come from
the Citizens Food Council, local Or
ganization in the formative stage,
which according to the plan is to be
composed Of food committees repre-
senting each Of the citizens associa-
tons as we'll as other civic bodies in
the District, and which is to cooperate
with the food administration during
the war. Food conservation is to be
promoted by propaganda and educa-
ton carried out by these committees
of citizens chosen for their fitness for
the work and for their enthusiasm in
the cause Of food saving. The proba-
bilities are that the approaching win
ter will be season Of lean and very
plain living for the people Of the Dis
trict. These committees, being in
touch with the central food admins
tration and with every neighborhood
in the District, may prove to be of
great assistance to the people in the
choice Of those foods from which the
highest food values can be obtained
for the least money. They ought also
to provide an effective means of guard
ing the public against unfair prices.
The project is worthy Of being given
a careful tryout.

show Of feeling on the part Of the peo-
pie at public meetings relating to the
loan might show later when the loan
drive is over and the drive for votes
in November is resumed.
!, There needs to be an awakening on
that score also. The political drive did
not open, and had not been conducted
when suspended, encouragingly. The
people had failed to como out. Meet
ings had been small and cold. Ora
tors had been unable to grip their hear
ers. There was fear that the indif.
ference shown as to the primaries
might be repeated as to the elections.
Less than two weeks Will remain for
the political drive after the loan drive
is over-a very short time for rousing
the voters on the subject Of the impor-
lance of the elections if they are still
Indifferent when the drive is resumed.
Surely, there is every reason why the
voters should wake up. The country is
facing q situation of growing difficulty
as respects both foreign and domestic
issues. The new Congress should not
be chosen by minority vote, but by a
vote of such size assurance would be
given at home here and elsewhere of
deep interest on the part Of the cleo
torate in the situation existing and to
come.

Through no fault of its own, Wash.

reach its quota Of the fourth liberty

Restaurant Prices.

The agreement entered into between
the District food administrator and the
proprietors of large number of
Washington restaurants promises to re-
ieve one situation and to ease the lot
Of many thousands Of persons who
take one meal or three meals q day
in public eating places The effort is
to stabilize prices and standardize the
quantity and quality of the portions
of food served. There has been great
inequality in prices and portions and
generally it would seem that the prices
have been higher than warranted by
the market prices Of the food served.
The service Of food has differed widely
in restaurants charging practically the
same prices. The difficulty in obtain
ing clean and competent labor has been
serious and not only has the cost of all
supplies used by restaurants material
ly increased, but the overhead charge
Of conducting the eating places has
notably risen. Many of the things
against which patrons of public eat
ing houses have complained will no
doubt be corrected by the agreement
between the proprietors and the Dis
trict food administrator.

The Two Drives.

In a way, political campaigning is
suspended while the liberty loan drive
is on. Stumpers, whether candidates or
party friends Of candidates, are not
appealing for votes. None il for q
party, but all are for the loan.
The number Of these mon IL large.
The drive il on in every state. All
available orators are in action. Hence,
meetings are numerous, and the Poo
pie are being spurred to q sense Of
war duty.
This lends surprise g ven a. dir
appointment to the fist that subscrip-
tions to the loan are tagging. The peo-
pie. as yet, have not responded as it
was expected they would.
An Improvement Is hoped for, and
should come. The closing days Of the
drive are expected to redeem the Ian
guor Of the opening ones.
This is hoped for for two reasons:
First, Of course, because Of the great
importance Of the loan. A failure is
probably not threatened, but . gsnsr-

in mad fight. So speedy is this retro
grade movement that allied infantry
has been unable to keep in contact
with the enemy, who is relying upon
machine gunners to impede the allied
advance. Over a front of thirty five
miles the British and Americans are
bringing grave peril to the German
forces which are operating in the
Douai salient which at ito apex Is moro
than twenty-five miles west by north.

ton. And with the allied armies press.
ing on eastward, while British armies
strike in the region Of Lille, the Ger.
mans now will have extreme difficulty
in extrieating themselves from their
present position owing to paraiyzed
communications. Increased artillery
fire of the allies each day brings under
its domination new lines of transport.
Having reached Le. Cateau east Of
Cambria, it is but a natural develop
ment that Haig should begin q swing
north by east in order to close the
mouth of the Douai salient, which is
no broader than that of the Rheims
Scissors salient and much deeper.
Owing to the striking achievements
within it's grasp it is believed certain
that the allied command will not les
sen it's blows in the slightest until the
enemy is on his new line of defense,
which, according to report, is sufi-
GENTLY strong to stay general allied
progress but few days, if at all.
