PARIS. France, March s (delayed)-
The big. strapping officer, who might
easily have played fullback on his
college team, was plainly agitated.
What are you worrying about?" l
asked. 1.-TWO thousand students" he
replied. '"rhey are somewhere in Paris
and I've got to make arrangements for
them"
What sort Of arrangements?
asked.
For going to school," he replied.
They are a part Of the great Ameri-
can expeditionary force university
which soon is to be in operation all
over France. Why. it is the biggest
university in the world"
Bigger than Chicago?" 1 asked.
Yes
Bigger than Harvard or Yale?"
Eyes"
absolutely the Biggest"
Bigger than valparaiso?"
"It certainly is. Why down at
Beaune. near Dijon. it starts with
10000 Students. 1t absolutely is the
biggest educational undertaking in
history. 1t covers every branch OF
science and art and deals with agri-
culture. agronomy. physics. chemistry.
botany and zoology"
'1t sounds like big thing for the
soldiers to undertake." said.
well, some Of us are university men
as well as a soldiers" he replied.
The officer was Maj John c. Coulter
of Chicago, son of Prof. Coulter of the
University of Chicago, himself doc
tor of philosophy and associated with
the botany department before the war.
He now is director of the A. E. F. stu
dents in agriculture and natural
science in Britain and France. The
whole project is under the supervision
of Gen. Rees, in charge OF military
general education.

Cites Other "Amusing Things"

Lots of amusing things have hap
pened in connection with the organi
zation of our big university" he said.
For instance the department of
zoology put in an order on the quar-
termaster's department for 40e grass
hoppers. You can picture to yourself
what happened. Another oddity oc-
CURED when we tried to get bull for
the section on live stock. The Army
has no legal authority to get a bull
and no provision is made for it any
where. The Y. NJ. c. A. was able to
get chickens and other kinds of ami
mails, but no bull. But bull had to be
purchased, and so it went down on the
records as 'one COW, male 1t was so
worded by the auditors department"
In addition to this university divi-
sion educational centers are function
ing throughout the A. E. F. cutting
down the total iliiterates in our ARM
It is a stupendous educational under
taking of which a great deal more
deserves to be known.

TO GROW LONG

YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD,

YOU NEED A REAL SCALP FOOD,
There are 80 many so-called hair
growers On the market, q large num-
Dor OF which are nothing mora than

use On your scalp be sure and get q
remedy OF proven merit. Seeby's
Qulnade is highly medicated pom
ade that has stood the test of time.
1t Is real scalp food; 1t stimulates
and nourishes the roots OF the hair,
causing q natural growth Of long
hair.
Qufnade Is the invention Of an ex-
pert chemist and is made under the
supervision Of an experienced regis

soft and smooth and easy to put I'D
In the style desired.
To get best results from the use of

oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is
thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lath-
ers very freely. 1t leaves the hair

,'DIRECT ACTIONF WORST
REMEDY.

The educated extremists among
the Negro leaders must certainly sec
that however great Che injustice dono
to their race, due to blind prejudice
''direct action" is the worst possible
remedy. The more white victims the
greater the colorcd victims will be
and in the end the feeling out OF
which this evil has come will be in
creased and the slow and steady i'm
proven,cnt in tho agricultural and i'll
dustrial status Of the Negro shown
by statistics will be obstructed. Such
leaders should use every argument to
quiet their followers and to condemn
further lawlcssncss rs an offset to
white outrage.
Those who suffer from such riots
arc often ono might say, usually not
participants in tho fighting but arc
bystandcrs who happen to be i'll the
line Of fire either through unwiso
curiosity or because they can't help
it. Meantime poaccablc, law-abiding
Negroes are bcsicged in their own
houses, where they with difficulty
secure needed food and supplies or
they go to their daily occupations at
the risk of their lives. Negro house
owners arc threatened with arson.
These riots have q lesson that
the whites should take to their souls.
IT is that each one OF us has reSpon
sibility TO the community in dealing
with our colorcd fellow citizens.
Every time Il white man insults a
Negro, every timo he conveys by his
conduct az overwecniEg sense OF his
race superiority to a Negro, he con
tributes to the cause out OF which
these race riots have come.
No race responds so quickly to
sympathetic aid as the Negro. NO
race can be made to forget or forgive
past wrongs rs easily by sincere co
operation and protection.
II this trouble spreads to all the
large cities the authorities ana
the prominent and trusted leading
citizens of those cities must have
foresight and take quick action. No
doubt must he left OF the intention OF
tho city and state to suppress law
lcssness. Troops in impressive and
oycrwhe Ginning force must BIO sum-
mOnpd ut once. Meantime the jo'c.
measures Of wise and leading whiteB
and Negroes to give the Negroes 10
know that the State will protect
them and that they are not to bo
abandoned to the mercy OF hoodlumS
md gnnmen will do much by way OF
prevcni!s~
prevention.
Another lesson Of the Chicago
riots is in making clear the responst.
bility Of the large employers OF lab
or who invite Southern Negroes into
their plants, for their proper hous--
iOR They owe II tO the community
in which they live to see to it thar
they are not thus sowing seed plots
of riots and lawlessness in their
quest for labor.
