"Y" does innumerable things that help
to smooth the path of the stranger In a
strange land. 1t provides some one to
meet him at tho train and help him find
a suitable rooming place. to assist him
in selecting courses, registering and
paying his tuition fees: and to steer him
through the pcrils Of adjustment to a
new environment.
But the greatest service of the asso-
citation is that already referred to-the
cultivation of an international mind
and International sympathy among stu
dents who come to America from foreign
countries. This is accomplished by
means of two chief agencies; meetings
with addresses on various phases Of
world citizenship, and frequent social
gatherings at which students from
many nations are brought into friendly
relations with each other.
In the use of both of these agencies
the association working have been emil
nently successful. 1t takes time, energy
and perseverance to secure speakers
who have a real message for the for
eign student. who know foreign politics
thoroughly and can put their ideas into
language that can be understood by stu
dents to whom English is by no means
familiar tongue. But the ~" men
have found such speakers, and the stu
dents have heard them gladly.
Possibly the social part OF the pro-
gram Is even more far-reachng in its
results than the addresses on world cit
izenship. Here the association workers
have achieved wonders, for they have
taught the student representatives OF
hitherto unfriendly nations to come to-
gether as friends and brothers. empha-
sizing the interests that they have in
common rather than the ideas and ideals
concerning which the races have widely
divergent opinions and beliefs.
These students from Asia and South
America are picked men. They have
been sent here because they are deemed
capable of rendering conspicuous SER
vices upon their return home after a
period Of study In America. They will
! be given important posts in government.
in business and in education. When
certain of them are ultimately advanced
! 70 the responsibilities Of minister or
! an ambassador, they will not fail to re-
| call the pledge of friendship and good
| will they made during their student
! days in America. All OF which will
! augur well for the general peace Of the
world.

the International Typographical Union
have taken the other view. They have
voluntarily entered into contracts, re-
curing the arbitration of labor dis
putes, and the satisfactory operation OF
those contracts has caused them to be
renewed time and again
There is no such thing as the sacred
rixht to strike. Nor is there such a
thing rs the sacred right on the part
Of employers to close shop and lock out
employees Men who are responsible
for the operation Of an industry. owe a
duty to those dependent upon it, and
to the public which they serve. and that
duty nrst of all Is performed through
continuous operation under normal
conditions.
The Intelligencer has heretofore ex-
pressed its belief that eventually, we
will find some way In this country Of
working out an industrial democracy
creating trade and labor boards on
which employers employees and the
public will all be represented and to
which the large majority Of wage and
labor questions will be submitted for
adjustment. The procedure Of the In
ternational Typographical Union points
a way to other trades, and indicates a
method by which industrial peace may
be assured.

A recent meeting Of tho Intercolle-
giate Cosmopolitan Club at Columbia
University was made notable by the
Ceremony OF the Candles" Twenty
nine students, representing that many
different nations, left their seats pear
ing unlighted candles in their right
hands, facing the other members. ne
man ut the head of the line lighted MS
own candle, saying II represent lnoia'

candles were lighted and the twenty
nine nationalitles announced

At another meeting Of the Cosmopoli-
tan Club the members were dining in
groups at small tables. young stu

aeighborhood Of Mt. Ararat arose and
said: Mr.. Chairman. have challenge

posite end Of the room and replied: my

Holland. China, Japan, and France.
But the prize was awarded finally to a
Cuban student who reported representa-
tives Of nine nations-Sweden, Vene-

Persia, Hungary and Cuba And this
contest was followed by tho announce
ment that five students from five diff

HOW CITIES GROW

It ID, perhaps. pertinent to call at
tention to the face that every city Of
any size In the United States has grown
to its present size by the absorption OF
its suburbs Instances are too numer-
Gus to mention New York. Philadel-
phia. Baltimore, Pittsburgh. Cleveland.
Chicago and many others, all within the
recent knowledge Of more OF our read
ers, have from time to time annexed
their suburbs and Joined their outlying
territories with them under one COM
mon city government.
Bear this In mind. and think If you
can Of a single case Of city popula-
ton once formed into a single city, be-
ing afterwards split UP into u number
Of smaller city governments
II the unified city government. oper-
ating for all Of a continuous city popu-
lation had not made good. II it were
not the best thing, II It were not the
most effective thing, hundreds Of great
cities would not be formed by the con-
solidation Of separate units: and on the
other hand. some great cities would be
broken up to DO governed by separate
unitA
Tho fact II. however. that the OK
perience Is all towards consolidation
and concentration Everywhere We
see large cities formed by the bringing
together Of many continuous villages
and towns and nowhere do we see cities
splitting up into separate city govern
ments, and dividing municipal authority.
Tho wheels Of municipal development
do not roll backward. Everywhere
they move towards unified and effective
city government; everywhere they
make for concentration and better or
ganization, and that is exactly what
we propose to do in the formation of
Greater Wheeling.

BIRD club
: Noes

Let us not forget the birds now
that they need our protection and
care. If every member of our club
will prepare tree for the birds
they will be doing a service for our
feathered songsters with little cost,
and we are always happy in doing
a kind act.
An evergreen tree is lest but
another will do. If yon have no ev-
ergreens tie sheaves of wheat or
oats, bundles of corn stalks and
branches from evergreen tree in an
other tree. The birds like to hide
in these away from the cold wind.
Then tie pieces of suet or scraps
of meat to the branches. Arrange
shelves in the tree and boxes with
the fronts removed. In the boxes
place scraps from the table, cracked
corn, sunflower seed, millet, rolled
oats, cracked oats, grain OF any
thing which birds like to eat.
On the shelves place bits of APP
pie, lettuce and vegetables. Heat
a brick or stone and place near, on
which set shallow pan of water.
Then watch, and soon you will
see numbers of birds visiting your
tree. Ifyou will keep the tree sup
piled with food during the winter
you will be the means of saving the
lives Of many Of the helpless little
creatures, for which they will repay
you many times over next summer.
