RAILROAD SCHOLARSHIPS
 TO BE AWARDED

Have you boy who wants to u a railroad president? If so, here'ss his chance.
 Sixty railroad scholarships a year will be awarded by the Southern Pa cific according to plan announced by the railroad today. Appointments will be made by division superintend- ents and the heads of the various de- partments of the railroad, who are charged with the responsibility of not alone securing appointments but watching their progress carefully, and placing them upon graduation. Bus mess men in the various towns along the lines of the Southern Pacific will be asked to recommend young men be- tween the ages of IS and g who will be sent to the Agency School fin San Francisco and there prepared for pos itions in the freight and passenger de- partments and the general offices. They will be paid nominal sum while being instructed.
 Superintendent of Telegraph E. L. King who has general charge of the scholarships, calls attention to the fact that most of the railroad presidents of today began in positions such as the students will qualify for. J. J. Mil1 Ter of San Francisco will be the in f structor. S3

POISON OF THE CENTIPEDE

The centipede is popularly supposed to carry a sting on each foot, but 1 have several times handled one after its head was removed without the claws producing any result. It is the first pair of claws only that are ven- omous, being hollow and provided with poison bags like snakes fang. The largest I ever saw was eleven inches in length, a grewsome creature. A bite from one of this size would most likely have been fatal to a man in weak health. The tarantula, though his powers of offense are nothing like those of the scorpion or centipede, is, however, a more unpopular character than eithef. The horror of these large spiders entertained by many people is curious and unaccountable. I have seen Australian bushmen, who in everyday life scarcely seemed to understand danger, turn white as a sheet at the sight of small "trian- telope," as they called it.-Chambers Journal.

"The committee will do nothing more in the whole matter than issue suggestions as to how the vote shall be carried on ,and give publicity to the result as declared.

SCIENTIFIC PROSPECTING

A class in scientific prospecting has been enrolled at the Denver Opportun- ity School for a course of twelve weeks study for rock formation and mineral deposits.
 The class has been formed with the object of arousing interest in this lat ter-day prospecting for minerals. The old time prospector has gone out and there are few to take his place Where there were thousands of men search ing the hills for minerals today there are not ten. The rising generation appears to have entered new fields, none caring to take upon himself the hardship of going out into the deserts and waste places to find new veins of mineral bearing ores or new materials that go into the manufactures. They are content to work in the metals, but not to attempt discovery. Colorado has been to the fore with an organi- zation for the creation of greater inter- est in mining and a combination of men are stalking prospectors and send. ing them into the field rightly fitted out for long prospecting campaigns Something of this kind will have to be undertaken in every mining state to awaken new interest in prospecting for minerals until we again have the same splendid fellows out in the noun. tains and deserts bringing to light new camps and big mineral production to enrich the world. It would cost | little to start small army of men out rightly equipped and it is to be hoped that something will be done in the matter in Arizona before winter is over. We have a vast unprospectec territory that is sure to yield big re- turns to the men who will make the necessary move.

COLLEGE SENTIMENT
 ON PEACE TREATY

President von KleinSmid announced in assembly last week that, in accord- ance with a movement which had it's inception with the universities of Col umbia, Yale, Harvard and Princeton, and is now sweeping westward, the University of Arizona would probably arrange ta take a vote of it's faculty and student body for the purpose of ascertaining the general sentiment re- garding the Peace Treaty. The Presi- dent said he thought the University should express itself on the principle of the Treaty aside from all political considerations and that the ratifica- tion should not be in any case a pol itical issue.
 The following telegram was receiv- ed President von KleinSmid from a committee of eastern editors having the approval of an advisory committee of which President Hadley of Yale, is chairman, and on which Presidents Butler of Columbia, Lowell of Har- yard, and Hibben of Princeton, are serving. t..
 "We, the undersigned, have under taken to promote referendum of college sentiment of the country con- corning the Peace Treaty. It is real ized that many colleges have held straw vote ballots on the subject, but the statements of the question have in most instances differed and afford ed no opportunity to obtain an ac- curate and comparative expression of the intercollegiate point of view. The plan is that on January 18th, every college and university in the country will be asked to take vote of it's fac ulty and student body, in which each member of the college community will be asked to declare himself "yes" or ''no" on the proposition.
 1. I favor the ratification of the League and Treaty without amend ments or reservations.
 2. I am opposed to the ratification of the League and Treaty in any form.
 3. am in favor of the ratification of the League and Treaty, but only with the specific reservations as voted by the majority of the Senate.
 4. I favor a compromise on the re- servation which will make possible ratification of the Treaty and League
 "The committee will forward de. tailed suggestions as to how the vote should be carried on. It is urged that the utmost discussion of the situation should be stimulated in your institu. tion, and, if possible that you hold mass meetings at which the different points of view will be presented.
 "It is planned that the vote shall be conducted under such safeguard as may be established in each insti. tuition to secure accuracy and com, pleteness ,and that the result shal be made known locally at once and telegraphed to the committee head quarters where results for the whole country will be compiled and made public. No propaganda will be cir culated by the committee and nc point of view advocated. The mem bers of the committee themselves hold different views concerning thu issue. The plan is solely to stimu late discussion in the academic com munity and to obtain as accurate al possible expression of the college

ALUMNI OF PENN
General Society Has Been Con-
sidering Plan for 3 Years;
to Eliminate Dues
GAZETTE BACKS THE MOVE

The complete reorganization of the
General Aldmni Society of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania is proposed in the
report made public today of a special
committee of the society.
The subject will be discussed at the
Forthcoming convention of the Asso-
ciated Pennsylvania Clubs at Whining
ton, Del.
Due to the war the problem Of re-
organizing the alumni of the Univer
sity has been changing fire" for nearly
three years.
One feature of the new plan of or
ganization is the elimination of the
dues system, and the substitution of q
budget, with the money raised by ap-
preparations from the alumni clubs
throughout the country.
Both systems have been tried at Har
ward. Princeton, Cornell and other uni
versities. In every case the dues have
been abolished and the budget system
substituted.
When a man is graduated, according
to the new plan, he automatically be

"There are many alumni who are abl'
to give many times the amount of thu
present dues" says the Pennsylvani,
Gazette, an alumni publication. The!
will be encouraged to do so by the new
system"
Another proposal is the reduction il
the size of the board of directors.

MOTHER NURSES SOLDIER SON
10 MONTHS TO SAVE HIS LIFE
Boy Goes Back Hospital Where Tender Vigil is Continued
ShelShocked at Chateau Thierry; Parent Took
Him From Government Care

THE mother of stricken Philadel
l. phia soldier whom she has nursed
for ten months in her home is in the
Philadelphia General Hospital contipu-
ing her tender ministrations, where the
young man is now undergoing observa-
tion and treatment. The mother fears
he will not recover.
The boy, Joseph A. Niorawski, .twen !:
ty three years old. left his home at 2515
Tilton street when the war started and
sailed for France August ~. 1917. He
served with the aviation corps of the
first army, studying to be an observer,
At Chateu Thierry in July of last year
he was she'll shocked and gassed. Treat
ed at numerous hospitals in France, he
was finally invalided home and sent to
the Walter Reed Hospital for Crippled
Soldiers in Washington.
There his mother visited him. She
wanted him to come home, but the
physicians advised against it. Finally,
however, the pleading of the mother and
of the boy hims0.f won them the per-
mission. The boy came home.
''He had been away from me long
sixteen months" Mrs. Joseph Nor
awski said today. And then tears rolled
down her cheeks as she added. II
thought ! could care for him and he
would get better"
Soon after he returned the boy found
employment at Cramps's Shipyard. Bu,
while he worked feeling of dizziness
would come over him and he would
wander away, staggering. his memory
gone and his sight weakened. Two
weeks later he was forced to give up hi'
position.
IAer he was employed at the Frank
ford 4 rsenal, where he had worked as
III Nhanic before he enlisted in the
army. But he was also forced to quit
his work there.
His condition never improved and a
times it seemed to become worse. Th'
mother explained today that he Otter
refused to go to bed at night He woult
sit in a chair in the middle room on th
first floor of his home when the fami,
retired. In the morning he would still
be there, always awake.
For some time friends or the famil.
pleaded with the mother to send he
boy back TO the hospital. Finally sh

made to take him away. She assiste'
