MISSISSIPPI MAY
 BUY HOME OF DAVIS

tNew Orleans Times -Picayune)
 Purchase of ''Beauvoir." the old home of Jefferson Davis. by the state of Mississippi will pe pressed before the legislature when that body meets in January. Beauvoir Is now being used as home for confederate vet erans. The home is supported by the state, but the ownership of the prop erty is vested in the Mississippi divi- sion of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans
 The Sons of Confederate Veterans purchased Beauvoir in 1902 from Mrs. Varina Davis, widow of Jefferson Davis. for sl0.000, with the stipulation that it should be used as a home for confederate veterans and their wives or widows. The Sons of Confederate Veterans offered to sell the property to the state of Mississippi shortly af- ter the buildings and grounds were purchased from Mrs. Davis, but the "tight-wads" in the legislature de- feated an appropriation for that pur- pose.
 Beauvoir was afterward used by the state as a home for confederate veter- ans but the state never acquired the | title. The legislature has been mak- 1 ing appropriations for the support of the home for several years, but noth- ing has ever been done toward making permanent Improvements. Frame dor mitories were constructed and a few l repairs were made. but no construc- 1 ton work of a permanent nature has 1 been done. The state refused to make appropriations for permanent brick or concrete buildings and dormitories be- cause the property was not owned by the state.
 The plan of some of those who will urge the state to take over Beauvoir l is to make it a permanent state insti- tuition. It is their purpose to ask the 1 legislature to pass a bill providing that the property shall be used as a home for confederate veterans as long as there are any indigent survivors of
 the Civil war, and after the veterans shall have passed away to use it as
 home for old men and old women.
 However, the advocates of this plan will not be sticklers on the question
 of making the place home for old
 people. If the legislature prefers to use it for a charity hospital. an or
 phans' home or a state military insti- ute, they are willing to yield. Their
 main purpose Is to get the state to acquire full ownership of the property so that permanent improvements can ' be made

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES

laundries. the National Laundry Journ-
 IL of Chicago has generously offered
 influence the six thousand laundries
 mich it reaches to collect, wash, steri-
 -ze and deliver the material to Red Cross workrooms free of charge. Thus far the promise of material has been secured and arrangements can be cas- ilv made to have it put into available form.
 Chapters in larger cities will probably obtain sufficient quantity to make sat- isfactory supply for their workrooms. Where the quantity of linen is unlimit- ed. on receipt from the laundry 1t should be sent to division warehouses whence it will be distributed for special purposes as may be later determined. This material may be used in connec- ton with the work of the School Aux iliaries
 White cotton fabrics are also required in large quantity by chapter work rooms for envelope covering of surgi- cal dressings. All households have old material of this kind and will doubt less be glad to donate it for this pur- | pose. This is already being done in several localities. The National Laun ! dry Journal has also offered to re- quest its clientele to collect these fab rics, launder and sterilize them and de- liver them to Red Cross workrooms, when requested to do so.

ENGLISH GREAT ON
 COUNTRY HIKING"
(London Chronicle)

A diligent study of American news papers discloses many "crazes" that seize the people of these islands, which the islands themselves seem strangely unaware of.
 From such a source I learl: that hiking is very popular in England. where "a party of young people. sem sibly dressed and with slaves, start at or o'clock in the morning car rying a few sandwiches al.d drink, walk along country roads until noon, picnic and rest during the heat of the day, and then walk home fl. the cool of the evening, refreshingly tired for such nights sleep as only the true hiker knows"
 Apparently it is the latest name for a country ramble. Anyhow. Ameri- cans are being persuaded to hike more, the result of which is an in- creased sturdiness Of mind and body

Undertaking 6 Embalming
SMILES SOON TO BE
 MADE BY MACHINE
Columbus Dispatch)

Columbus Dispatch)
 The scientists are said to be ex- perimenting with a machine to make people smile-an electrical apparatus that is applied to the nerves of the face and which, when so applied, causes one to smile, whether he feels like it or not, and smiling, to recover from whatever malady he is suffer ing from. It reads like a fanciful story, but it is going the rounds.
 It seems that the scientists have decided that melancholy can be treat ed by machinery; that if the person suffering from melancholy can be made to smile, even artificially, he will recover from the disease So the electrical device has been perfected and is being used at the asylums where there are persons suffering from melancholy and with good re- suits. according to reports.

ON THE CAMPUS

The junior class, emulating the kaiser, proclaimed their treaty with the senior class a mere scrap CT paper" and mounted their class pen nant Friday near the top of the flag pole. As soon as the seniors learned of the treachery they immediately re- moved the blot from the landscape, not Ctooping to retaliate by placing their own where the former Junl"r pennant had been. The junior class as a whole cannot be accused of breaking the treaty made at the beginning or the year, but nevertheless their flag was found fastened to the pole.
 Examinations are in the mind of every pupil attending school at this time. Not only examinations, but semester examinations. The sins of the easy-going pupil will find him out, and he will be forced to meet the issue some time next week. Although not on the same day of the week, every pupil will have to be tested for traces of knowledge on all subjects he has been exposed to.
 The last chance for seniors to report | on books, read outside of class, is gone. Last Wednesday the senior English classes were devoted to the hearing Of reports. those who could not report then will have to forego the great pleasure of talking before the class and will have to report to Professor Jantzen outside of school hours.
 Despite the number of shins receiv- ing severe blows, no cases of broken shins have turned up at any of the | hospitals or the police station. The said severe blows administered to said shins are due to the interesting and exciting game of polo that is the con- tinued feature of the noon lunch period. The thick cadet leggings pro- tect the delicate shin-bone to a great extent and thus keeps the casualty list down to zero.

CAR
IMPROVEMENT
IS PLANNED

At the meeting of the East Chicago
board of works held yesterday after
noon at the city hall the Hammond.
Whiting and East Chicago Street Rail-
way company asked for permission to
tear up the paving on Forsyth avenue
south and lay a second track from Chi
cago avenue TO 150th street
superintendent Lawrence said that
this would not only relieve the conges-
tion OF street car traffic and its attend
ing dangers g the corner of Chicago
and Forsyth avenues. but that just a :
soon as the second track was installed
and the new cars purchased. Il was pro-
posed 70 give a ten minute schedule be-
tween East Chicago. Indiana Harbor and
Hammond.
Members of the board Of works feel
just as great concern over a double
track north OF Chicago avenue as they
do in regard to one south OF that main
street In fact some Of them think that
the double track north is even more es-
sentiaL
II viii be remembered that when For
syth was paved. the street car company
was urged and begged TO put in a double
track south 10 15Oth street so as to pre-
vent lust the thing that now is about TO
approximately. the tearing up of good
pavement that cost good money. The
company. however. could not sec their
way clear to comply with this request.
The request for permission that came
before the board yesterday was laid
over for one week. There seems to be
no doubt. however. but that it viii be
granted inasmuch IS this is part Of the
general Improvement that is suggested
by the transportation department Of the
federal government
