PENN PLANS NEW COURSES
Interest In Naval Architecture Eos
tered by Shipping Board

Among other important educational
institutions throughout the country the
University of Pennsylvania has re-
quested the United States shipping
board for further data on its proposed
courses in naval architecture, marine
engineering and ship construction in
the various universities and technical
schools to meet the growing demands
Of the merchant marine.
n Plans for adding the courses are
being fostered by the United States
shipping board. which had difficulty ia
securing technically trained men to
carry out the sh1pbuilding program
when this country entered the war,
and was compelled to establish emer
geney schools for intensive training
1t is believed by shipbuilders that the
demand for technicians will continue
to grow as the eountry's shipyards ex

collectors and agents summary of
laws on the subject and penalties with
the suggestion that they be made
known widely. H.
The schedule Of penalties for va
rious violations is as follows: -
For failure to register still, $500
penalty, fine of between $100 and
$1,000 and Imprisonment of between
one months and two years for making
liquor in ascommunity where It is pro-
hibited by local or state laws, tax of
$1,000; for. violating wartime prohibit
tfon, $1,000 fine, or one year imprison-
ment or both; for making whisky
mash or a beer, fine Of between $500
and $1,000. and Imprisonment of be-
tween six months and three years.

Eggs, Milk and Vegetables
Are Essential to Growth

Eggs, milk and the leafy vegetables,
according to FL. L. Kempster Of the
University of Missouri college Of agri-
culture, contain substances known as
vitamines, (which are essential to
growth. They are called the protec-
tive foods because they correct the
faulty composition Of, seeds. and tu-
bers. Young animals fed on wheat,
oats, barley, or other seeds fail to
grow. The ration is inadequate, even
If the feed includes; beans, peas and
potatoes, and even if moderate
amounts Of leafy vegetables are also
fed. Egg yo1k contains about 33 per
cent fat. Like butterfat, it contains
growth-producing substances which
are absolutely essential. These
growth-producing substances are, not
found in vegetable fats or oils in beef
or pork fats. Some protective foods
are necessary if the health is to be
maintained. Eggs should, therefore,
become one Of the regular articles of
diet. The price should be. a minor
consideration. Eat an egg day. They
promote growth aud increase your
ability to withstand disease. -: .''

Our Ancient Ancestors !
=: DWeIt in Icy Period Is
Proven by a Discovery

=
One often hears of ''the glacial
period or ''the ice age' of the earth,
but, strictly speaking, this expression
is not correct, AYERS writer. 1t is
now established beyond all reasonable
doubt that this planet has experienced
not one but a great many glacial
periods. Evidence has been found
which proves that the latest or Ple1s-
tocene glacial epoch has several I'M
portant subdivisions and that all OF
the present: continents have expert
enced glacial epochs at different ages
y Great ice sheets were formed at diff
'ferent periods back to the Proterozoic
age; tha at is the age Of the Oldest
known sedimentary rocks, a great
many million years ago.
One of the. most recent discover
les of the old glacial deposits was
made by Professor w. w. Atwood OF
the United States geological survey,
near Ridgway, in southwestern Colo
RADIO. These deposits were found be-
meath tertiary lavas Of the San Juan
mountains, and resting upon upper
.Cretacepus beds. They have, it is be-
lieved, been formed in early Eocene
times. :.

Animals Display Great
intelligence When III or
Hurt-Treat Themselves

Few people realize, notes a writer in
the Christian Herald, how many ami
mails are constantly getting hurt and
sick. The wild animals seldom get
sick from what they eat, but the do
nestle animals frequently do. Wild
animals get injured from fighting with
other animals of their kind or in fights
with animal enemies. In all cases,
animals have way of doctoring them
selves that is remarkable.
Animals suffering from fever eat
nothing, keep quiet, seek darkness
and airy places, drink much water
and sometimes plunge into the water
from time to time. When dog has
lost it's appetite it eats that species Of
grass known as ""dog's grass Cats
also eat, grass, catnip, ETC., when sick.
Sheep and cows in the same circum-
stances seek out certain wild plants.
IF an ants foot is cut, other ants
will cover the wounded part with a
transparent fluid from their mouths.
IF a chimpanzee is wounded it stops
the flow Of blood by placing its hand
on the" wound or dressing it with
leaves and grass.
A terrier had an injured eye. 1t re-
mained lying under a counter, avoid
ing heat and light, although it had
been it's habit to keep close to the fire.
1t adopted the general treatment
rest and abstinence from food. The
local treatment consisted in licking
the upper surface Of it's paw, which it
then applied to the wounded eye,
again licking the paw when it became
dry. Cats, when hurt, also treat
themselves by this simple method.
The methods adopted by most of the
wild animals for doctoring them
selves are unknown to man, buts there
is no doubt that every animal has the
ability to skilfully doctor itself.

Stalling and playing for time by
handing in many voluminous protests
and promising to produce many more,
the German delegates to the peace con-
ference succeeded last week in gaining
an extension of time to May 20 for
making their full reply to the treaty
terms. To expedite the work Brock
dorff-Rantzau asked leave for. spe-
cial train to take printing presses and
printers to Versailles. 3
Among the notes, he said, that are
to be presented to the allies were
those dealing with Alsace-Lorraine,
with the occupied territories, with the
extent and discharge of the repara-
tions obligation undertaken by Ger
many, with labor laws, with German
private property in enemy countries,
and with territorial questions in the
east.

The answers of the allies to the
notes already submitted by the Ger
mans could not have given the latter
much encouragement as to results.
When they complained of the taking of
mines and nitrate beds they were told
the treaty did not prevent their buying
minerals and nitrates from other ma.
tions; when they objected to the loss
of their mercantile shipping and the
consequent loss of employment for
their sailors, they were rem minded that
the allies were not thus nearly COM
pensated for their losses due to sub
marine ravages; and when they said
Germany would be unable to feed her
population if deprived of agricultural
lands, they were told the reduction of
population. through the loss of territory
left her fewer mouths to feed, and the
Germans could easily obtain agricul-
tural products from other countries.
The attitude Of the allied delegates
is that their countries have suffered
far too much already, and it is the
turn Of Germany, and they assert the
German people cannot shirk the re-
sponsibility for the war because of
partial and perhaps nominal change in
their form of government and in its,
personalities. Such, indeed, was the
substance Of the reply of the council
of four to the German note regarding
reparations, in which the Hun dele
gates declared Germany would not ad-
NIT responsibility. They were told 1t
was too late to take such position
and that 1t was impossible to disasso-
ciate responsibility from reparatiOn.
Having asserted the German people
would not have undertaken a war Of
aggression, they are reminded that
they approved of Secretary Lansings
note Of November s. 1918, in which 1t
was stated that the obligation to
make reparation "arises out of Ger
many's aggression by land, sea and
air. The Germans asked that the re-
port of the commission on responsible
ity be communicated to them this was
peremptOrily refused.

limit" However, the Germans choose
to remember rather his former stand,
and on that and the Fourteen Points,
they base most of their objections to
the treaty terms. Those points are
especially emphasized in the statement
issued last week by the Scheidemann
cabinet which says Germany cannot
possibly accept the treaty as formu-
lated
What 4 the Germans really will do
about the treaty is still the subject of
much speculation. Opinion in Paris
that they ultimately will sign is un-
changed, and is supported by advices
from Berlin to the effect that power
full party is growing there in favor OF
submitting to the allies and gaining
peace that will permit the, resumption
Of abusiness. In this the Independent
Socialists are joined by bankers, mer-
chants and many others, who say that
anything would be preferable to bol7
shevism. In Washington it Is believed
that the Ebert government may retire
temporarily in order to let dummy
government approve the. treaty. The
dummies thereupon would be>ousted by
public opinion and the Ebert crowd
could return, but the treaty would have
been signed.
