Prussian Professor Peeved.

The number of women entering Ger.
man universities increased from 1868
to 6,527 last winter. The number at
the University Of Berlin alone grew
from $50 to 1922. Professor Won,
MISUNDERSTANDING Of the Univer-
sity of Berlin. and his colleagues, do
like this development. and he had
no hesitation about speaking energeti-
cally and sarcastically about it IL the
Prussinn parliament. 1t seems that al
though the Berlin professors still be-
gin their lectures with "Gentlemen,"
their hearers are almost exclusively
women. The speech in question was
an argument for lowering the univer-
sity standards for men While using the
utmost severity towards women who
wish to learn. Wilamowitz sarcastic
cally observed that the universities
have been turned into girls schools
and that a 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
Berlin professors to the grade and du-
ties of fourth-form masters in the Sec
onQary schools.

Monster Devil Fish.

The announcement is made that a
monster devil fish weighing LOO
pounds, and measuring IL feet from
tip to tip, has been captured three
miles out from Deer Island, near Bill
oxi, Miss, by local fishermen. who
brought the fish to Biloxi and placed
1t on exhibition. The fish, a species
which is seldom seen SO close to shore,
was caught in a trawl net by Pat
Moran, and it took three power boats
to haul the fish into port. 1t had a
mouth measuring four feet across, and
in order to pass a rope through it,
fishermen had TO use an immense oar.
When one vessel attempted to bring
the fish ashore it played With the boat
as with q toy, and two other power
boats came to it's assistance. Many
people viewed the monster.

Never Take Your Troubles to Bed.

I know a man who is aging very rap
idly from his business and family wor-
ries. I frequently travel morning and
evening to and from the city with him,
and instead of looking fresh and re-
juvenated in the morning he actually
looks older and more carcwOrn than
he did the night before. This is be-
cause he takes his troubles to bed with
him and falls asleep worried and de-
pressed. Instead of p%racticing men,
tai chemistry and neutraliZing or driv-
ing them out by the peace thought, the
harmony and love thoughts, he lets
these vicious mental devils, which are
playing such havoc in his life. work
all night in his brain. And, of course,
they poison his blood, deplete his VI
tality and cut wrinkles deeper and
deeper every night."-From Loves

Use of Lace.

The French models, some of them.
show lace. This is an interesting nc.
n~ouncement just now. For one thing
We haven't used lace for Il good many
years, excepting Il bit Of tilet or val
cnciennes in our lingerie b%louses.
There were Il few black lace evening
frOclks q few Seasons ago, but on the
whole lace has not been in high fash
ion for Il long time. Another interest,"
ing phase OF this lace question is this:
Lace is scarce. AT least, With the laca
workers of Belgium out of the market,
and with the lace workers of European
countries presumably engaged in.tNa'
rious other industries. it is difficult
to see how much new lace can be pro-
duced. For lace making takes time.

HIS; PLACE
Youngster Who Made Good as.
Food Producer.
Factory Hand Lost, but a Massaehu-
sets Community Is Richer Be-
cause Boy Decided That He
Would Take to Gardening.

-Four years ago a garden-club boy In
Massachusetts faced what would have
seemed even to an adult a hard prob
lem. Born in Italy, but thoroughly in
.oculated with American ideas of the
necessity of education, James was
told by his father while in the eighth
grade that no longer could he be kept
In school. His future path was to lie
toward the nearby factory.
Believing, because of his %garden-club
experience under the auspices of the
local leader for the United States de-
partment of agriculture, that he could
earn as much by potato raising outside
Of school hours as he could in a fac
tory by devoting his whole time, he
finally obtained permission from his
father to try It. So successful was he
that his father was willing he should
enter the ninth grade in the fall.
The ext spring the superintendent
let him have land to use for n large
garden. To ten boys he had selected
from the upper grammar grades he
made the proposition to pay so much
an hour and to give each a garden
plot. The following excellent advice
he offered them in addition: eff you
are going to quit, quit now while 1t is
cool and not when it is hot next Au-
gust"
BY fall he had decided that enough
could be earned in the summers to en-.
able him to attend high school and the
agricultural college later. Now a
Junior in high school, he has a. good
sized dollhouse under lease, where he
raises cabbage, cauliiower and tomato
plants; he owns an auto truck to ham
die his produce; has a bank account
and pays his bills BY check, and owns
at least one government bond.
With all the school and business
cares, he still has time to look after
the school welfare Of his younger
brothers and sisters, visiting their
teachers and watching their progress.
A factory hand, probably only a me-
diOcre one, has been lost, but Il good
food producer has been gained through
the vision given james by his boys ag-
ricultural club leader.

Even before new of the signing Of

things optimism showed itself first in
more picturesque and colorful mil
