prkasian Professor Peeved.

The Hhmber of women entering Ger
man universities increased from 1893
to 6,52T last winter. The number at
the University of Berlin alone grew
from $50 to 1922. Professor Won
Wilamowitz- Mollendorf Of the UniveT-
sjty of Berlin, and his colleagues, do
not like this development, and he had
no hesitation about speaking energeti-
cal.y and sarcastically about II in the

an argument for lowering the univer-

utmost severity towards women who
wish TO learn. WilamOwitz sarcasti-
cally observed that the universities
have been turned into girls schools
and that very considerable number
of the women In attendance were moth
ing but little girls in short frocks.
These girls get into the university by
reason OF certificates which, WilamO-
witt says, have no value whatever. He
adds that the result is TO reduce the

MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD
Real Treasure Of Peru Was the Po-
tato, Though spaniards Did
Not Realize II. =


The gold of the Indies was the at
traction that led Columbus to sail
westward, that carried COrtez to Mex
leo and Pizarro to Peru. The 1ncas
had large stores of the precious metal,
representing, no doubt, the accumula-
tons of many centuries. The capture
of such booty resounded through
Europe. Spain became for time the
wealthiest, as well as the most pow
erful, nation of Europe, and this was
ascribed to the gold Of Peru.
But Peru held another treasure
much more valuable for the nations Of
Europe than the golden booty Of
PizarrO. Carrying the potato to Eu-
rope was an event Of much more pro-
found significance in relation to the
subsequent history Of the world than
sending the Inca gold to the Golfers
of Spain. But nobody understood the
value of the potato, and its Peruvian
origin was generally forgotten before
the plant became well known. In
stead Of Peruvian potatoes we call
them Irish potatoes.
The potato was the basis OF the
ancient Peruvian nation and has at
tanned almost the same Importance In
other parts Of the world within the

LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN BOYS
sIIIy Idea That Those Born In May
Are Naturally More Cruel Than
Other Youngsters.

John T. Page says that he was born in
May, "and as I look back into the days
of my boyhood am often Mortified tc
recall many acts of cruelty perpetrated

In these acts Of cruelty until I was

amusements was the reckless employ.
ment Of sling and buckshot. We would
lie on the roof Of the minister's house
on Elm street and plug horses, dogs,
farmers in carts or on wood sledges,
just to see them jump. Nor were we
then aware that surprise was the chief
element of wit. "That's what makes a
man laugh so when he sits down on
bent pin" Kidding the windows Of a
schOolhouse was almost as good sport
as tearing off the pickets Of Deacon
Bodman's fen.e. Hitting little boys
heads with iceballs, not snowballs,
was favorite winter amusement. 1t
was considered a good joke to kidnap
q youngster at night, take him far into
the Bridge street graveyard and then
run away from him. TOrmenting cats
and dogs was common when small

born in May skilled in rude or ingen-
ious torturing.
