But Two Colleges Taught =
Geography Sixty Years Ago

The rapid development of geog-
raphy as a college study, since its
first appearance in university cur
riculum about half century ago, is
discussed by Prof. R. H. Whitbeck,
of the University of Wisconsin, in
a recent article on Geography in
American and European Universe
ties" published in The Journal of
Geography. He points out the fol-
lowing interesting facts:
In 1860, Harvard and Princeton
We're the only American universities
offering courses in geography.
Cornell and the University of
Wisconsin introduced the subject in
1868. and Yale followed in 1872. In
1900 only twelve American UNIVERSE
ties taught the subject, but by 1910,
81 universities were offering vari-
ETY. OF l42 courses.
With 704 students enrolled in ge-
ography, the University of Wiscon-
sin led all others in 1910. With
1869 enrolled i'll 1917, it led all 9TH
ers except the University of Penn
sylvania. 1t now offers seven
courses in physical and economic
geography, climatology and other
phases of the subject.

ed out that two pounds OF butter
can be made out of one pound OF
butter mixed with milk said Prof.
]. H. Frandsen, head of the Univer-

department. There is nothing new
about this device as it has been sold
in different parts of the country off

years.
According to law, butter must
contain at least 81 per cent butter
fat, and not to exceed Is per cent
water, which, of course, would not
be the case if skim milk or water
we're mixed with it. As matter
of fact, butter made in this way gen.
orally confirms less than SO per cent
of butter, ht. 1t is, therefore, il
legal to offer such a product for
sale as butter. Furthermore, if the
housewife desires the soft and
slushy fat, she could secure an ar
ticle of approximately the same
merit by buying rich cream which
would be cheaper and probably more
palatable than worked-oyer butter.
1T is simply another way of add

Howard Wheeler, in Everybody's]
Like President Wilson, General
Foch was a college professor be-

strategy, to be sure, but he was a
teacher, theorist; and when he be-
came a commander in actual war
he did not drop his theories. He
practiced them. Many of the lead
ers under him had been his stu

in the field in the face of a savage,
clever enemy what he had asked
them to recite in the academy. One

RIGID INSPECTION FOR
NEAR HEROES SLEEVES
Extra Stars and Stripes Will
Go Home in Barracks
Bags

The wound and service-stripe
market took terrible slump at
Brest last week when the news
filtered back from outbound trans
ports that new brand of inspec-
tlon was being held for every batch
of home-going members of the A.
E. F. 1t was discovered that any,
body whose sleeves didn't pass in
spection and check with the little
old secrice record had to report
to the company tailor for an am
putation.
For several weeks the needles in
the base ports have been working
nights, sewing six-months chev-
rons on five-months-and-twenty-
nine-day veterans, decorating right
cuffs of heroes whose only wounds
are located in their pride, and at
taching neat little French cam
paign badges that proclaim partici-
patton in every big event, from the
first Battle of the Marne, Verdun,
and the taking of Kiau Chau to
the capture of Coblenz. When they
walked across the gangplank late
ly a few outfits have looked like
veterans of the Napoleonic wars.
But when they walk off they won't.
Another emblem that rated high
on the Heroes Bourse was the sill
yer bar for voluntary enlistment.
A gold star also showed on a few
sleeves for "the first 100000" But
when the men hit the deck for the
first assembly both faded in the
sea fog like a pint of cognac be-
fore an MP.

stripes will go home in the bar

all it will be in the back parlor

with the nonchalant explanation of
the wearer that modesty forbids

DON'T EXPECT THE BANKS
TO DO IT ALL

You may hear some people say
that it won't be necessary for the
public to subscribe to the Victory
Liberty Loan this time because "the
banks are going to take all OF the
Loan"
Don't he misled by this argument
into refusing TO buy. The Vic
tory Liberty Loan must be taken by
the people. The banks could, of course,
take over all of the Loan. But 1t

1t is easy to determine what the
result would be. Manufa cturers de-

notation could not run their plants
and a wave of unemployment would

unable to obtain the privilege of
oailk loans would be greatly handi-
capped in their crop prospects. And

St. Patrick's Day
A National Celebration

March 18th is celebrated by
Irishmen of all creeds and denomi-
nations as the birthday of their
patron saint, Patrick. There is a
story that once there was a dispute
between two factions, one claim
ing that the patron saint was born
on the eighth, the other that he
came to this world on the ninth
of March. AS the quarrel could not
otherwise be settled, the 17th was
decided on by the simple comprom-
Use of adding eight and nine to-
gether. But there appears to be no
reason for doubling that st. Pat

perhaps in France, in the latter

them, moreover, have no way of
figuring correctly the extra waste
of food, or extra breakage or wear
and tear due to the fact that the
servant does not have the interest
of ownership for making things go
as far as possible. Few families
know, at the end of the year, the
important total that the "odd job"
man, or hedge cutter or grass trim
mer has cost them for service that

This, of course, does not mean
that no service should be purchas-

tribution to family we'll being than
the cost of servant, she makes a
profit by employing someone who
frees her to do better paid work
than household tasks. In many
cases, physical or personal reasons

the family to have help, but in
many cases the time saved to the
members of the household by SER

Saving on service will give many

HOUSEHOLD SHOULD
BE UNIT in NATIONAL
ECONOMY PLAN
Saving on Service Will Make
Substantial Increase

Saving on Service Will Make
Substantial Increase
In any plan for national econ
omy, British specialists think that
that the household, rather than the
family, should be taken as a unit.
Under Household consumption
they include, CD services rendered
maintaining the house and it's in
mates. (2) the goods consumed or
acquired by the inmates, (3) the
general charges of cleaning, dec
Grating, offsetting deterioration,
etc.
AS start in a saving program,
the British Commission has point
ed out that services should be
valued even more highly than
goods, as each person doing un-
necessary and unproductive work
not only consumes without produc-
ing but is also depriving the coun-
try of possible productive power.
Translated into terms of American
savings, this service idea would
mean-''do not hire done what you
can do for yourself in spare time
that is not directly profitable"
Few Americans are really honest
with themselves as to the cost OF
services. Not one family in hun
dred really knows what a servant
actually costs. Most of them place
the cost of her wages, and fail to
count in her food, light, and other
things she consumes. Most OF

SOME FACTS
CONCERNING THE LIFE
OF ST. PATRICK
teachings Swept Ireland Like
a ConAagration

historians tell us with unfailing
zest that st. Patrick was born Of
plous and Godfearing parents in
the year 372 of the Christian era
Inc little that is konwn of his
youth has been sadly garbled bv
chroniclers who, being ambitions
TO produce something new, seem to
have forged some points of the his
tory. Of these chroniclers some
are, no doubt, correct, but which /?
on THIS account some painstakinq
writer has given US the facts as
tar as truly known, and with these
we must be content.
In 3oI he was sold as a slave to
chleftan of Ulster. To the YOUTH
1ul slave Ireland seemed God
torsaken and overrun by fiends of
evil power. There was no church
no sacraments. He was "alone
among scoffers and the worshipers
OF craven images"
His life of prayer and self
'sacrlflce continued during his term
OF slavery. Finally freed from his
bondage he entered the priesthood
as ne had so long desired. After
he had finished his studies, he was
ordained and the zeal of his soul
became a confagration. AS many
deVout souls have prayed to do, he
wished to convert the whole world,
and prayed pathetically to wear
the martyrs crown. France knew
OF him and there he labored for a
time, as he did in Italy and the
Thyrrhenion sea islands. But it
was to Ireland his heart turned
most eagerly and he was permitted
a vision in which he saw the people
OF Erin stretch forth their arms to
him in supplication, and this Wis
ion determined him to undertake
the difficult task of the conversion
OF Ireland. He travelled to Rome
to get the permission of the pope
and submitted his labor and him
self to that high dignitary. He was
consecrated bishop and, having re-
ceived his instructions and having
been blessed, he began his journey
to his new mission.
The inhabitants of Erin were
considered in an advanced state of
civilization, and st. Patrick began
his labors by denouncing Druid
ism, astonishing it's followers by
the wonderful deeds he accom-
plished in the name of God, and lit
tie by little they believed and ac-
cepted the mysteries of the true
religion. He explained to them the
mysteries of the Trinity by picking
from the sod a shamrock and dis
coursing on it's trefoil leaf on one
stem; then on the crucifx he ex.
planned the birth of the Christ and
the purpose of his death and the
beginning of the church. The re.
ligious fervor of st. Patrick ap.
pealed to the warm hearts of his
listeners and his teachings swept
Ireland like a confagration. Gods
churches arose out of Druidica.
ruins and the houses of the Druids
became monasteries. Bearing aloft
the banner of his Master, st. Pat.
rick's travels over Erin were tri
umphantly successful.

to see the fruits of their labors
but under st. Patrick's teaching, ir

the Island of Saints. He lived tt
