SPIRITUAL CAMOUFLAGE
IS OLD SAYS DR.. REID
Allen announced

Spiritual Camouflage" was the
theme of an address by Dr. S. ]. Reid
in the Baptist church last night. He
said that camouflage is not new, but
an old device.
I'm Shakespeare's Macbeth said
DIR. Reid. A Malcolm led his forces
against Macbeth and the beseiged
thought wood was advancing when
Macbeth ordered his men to cut down
bushes and under the screen advance
for the attack. That was camouflage.
Since Satan transformed himself
into an angel of light he continued
there has been camouflage in religion
One method of today IS to give fair
names to foul deeds Gluttony ana
greed are called "a love of the good
things of life Debt is called 'obliga-
ton Acts of revenge and even mur-
der. are characterized as the unwrit-
ten laws. SO it is through the whole
catalogue of evil. Another false phil
osophy says there is no sin. Jesus
never disguised the truth. nor bid the
of evil. He taught that
whatsoever a man sows, that shall he
also reap"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 81
Three western states of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve district. Oregon,
Utah and Nevada, ranked among the
first ten states, territories and pos
sessions of the Unteo States in the
per capita savings and investment
in Thrift Stamps, War Savings
Stamps, and Treasury Savings GER
~tificates for the fiiN seven months
of 1919, according to a report of the
treasury department. Oregon took
third place with a per capita in
vestment of $1.45 and a total of
$1,000, 922.42; Utah eighth with an
average individual investment of
$50 and a total of nearly $780,
900 while Nevada stood ninth with
$1.26 pei capita and a total of APP
proximately $4,000.
Ohio led the nation. With an
average purchase of SAL the peo-
pie of that state lent the govern
ment $12,807,268.32, nearly twice
as much as any other n state. In
other words Ohio is the thriftiest
state in the nation. The Philip
pines was lowest with a per capita

ENROLMENT
At New. UNIVERSITY

To this date, September 26, the
enrolment at the university is larg-
er than at the same date in the uni
versity year 1915-16, the year of
greatest previous enrolment. Not
only is the total enrolment now
$50 as compared with 357 at the
same date in 1915 out in two other
notable respects the present en-
rollment is SURPRISING.
The present enrolment includes
only So specials and visitors where
as the 1915 roll included "a spe-
Gals and visitors at the same date.
Otherwise stated this e that
now the university has enrolled 307
students fully prepared for regular
college entrance whereas at the
same date in 1915 only 2S3 such
fully prepared students were en-
rolled.
The second notable improvement,
is that the present enrolment reg
listers LAG regularly enrolled fresh
men whereas the 1915 figures in
cluded only log freshmen. 1t is
especially notable that 1OS of the
present LAG freshmen came to the
university from Nevada's own high

schools. This large freshman en-
rollment, especially large from the
Nevada high schools, seems fairly
to promise for the university a
steadily increasing enrolment dur
ing the coming years
The general contract for the lev
school of education building has
been awarded by the board of re-
gents to Contractor E. X. Fowler
of Reno. Work has already begun.
This gives assurance that this new
building, designed by Architect De-
Lanchamps, will be ready for use at
the opening of another university
year. The beautiful Mackay Min
ing building is peing followed
closely in architectural type in this
education building.
The campus employment commit
tee has placed 63 students in part
time jobs for par on the campus.
This is the second year OF service
by this committee and its success is
registered in the fact that about SO
per cent more jobs are now open to
students on the campus than We're
open in any year before 1918.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Interest on
Russis's state liabilities today
amounts annually to approximately
s643, SOC, 900. according to a state
ment issued from Omsk by the min
lister of finance or the Kolchak
government.
In 1914 the national debt vas s.
G37,000,000 rubles, the statement
says. Internal war time loans ag-
gregated 3.000,0OO,0 900 rubles
while loans contracted abroad
amounted to 5000, boo 900 rubles,
thus bringing the debt to a total of
about $4,000, 100000 rubles. About
50,000,0 900 rubles yearly would be
required for the amortization of this
tremendous sum.
The statement points out the fact
that the figures quoted in rubles
represent fictitious values, as the
foreign loans were issued abroad in
English, American, French, Japa-
nese and Italian c%urrencies which
cannot be converted into rubles at
the old gold rate of exchange.
Whereas France, in pre-war days,
was Russia's. largest creditor. it is
noted that Great Britain supplied
the bulk of Russi.-s financial re-
quirements during hostilities with
France, America, Japan and Italy
ranking in the order named.

"A DISAGREEABLE U

Let it be remembered. not only now, but always, that the
man who puts a limit on his output, on the amount of work
that he does, is a profiteer as much as the man who doubles his
profit because he sees that the people have need of what he has
to sell. There is not a particle of difference between them and
no one can say which is the worse offender against society.
The man who gives less than a days work for a days pay
is like the man who puts 1900 pounds of coal on a wagon and
delivers it at the home of a widow for a full ton of coal and
accents nav for a ton. Where is the line of demarkation be-
tween their offending? In the one case the man pays for a
normal days work and in the other he pays for two thousand
pounds of coal. And in both eases we have the cost of living
increased. for the sixteen hundred pounds of coal do not last as
long as a ton would last. and if it takes more days work to
build the house the man who rents it will have to pay more rent
and the man who owns it will have to pay more interest. This
is something that may not be wholly agreeable to all to read,
but there are many disagreeable truths that ought to be told in
these later DAYS, for we take it that we have come out of the
war with the determination to make this a better world, not
only for ourselves but for others.

WORLD SERIES
CLOSELY CONTESTED

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Records of
baseball. worlds series of past years
show that although the American
league entries have been victorious
in nine of IA series, the games have
been so closely contested that the
National leaguers are only three be-
hind their younger opponents in the
number of runs scored and six in
games won.
So-called world series were played
as far back as 1884, but it was not
until 1906 that the National COM
mission took charge OF the series
and promulgated rules of govern
ing it. Since that yea the winning
clubs in each of the major leagues
have met in October in a seven
game series to decide the cham
pionship, although this year the
series will be lens,aened to nine
games.
During the past IA years IS
games have been played-an aver
age of five and a half per series
including two ties. In winning their
nine series the American league
teams have triumphed in Al games
while the senior league entries have
been on the long end of the score
in 35 games in winning their five
series. In runs scored the Ameri-
cans lead with 253 against their OPP
ponents ESQ.
The shortest series of the IL was
that of 1914, when the Boston Ma
tionals defeated the Philadelphia
Americans in four straight games.
The Chicago Nationals of 1907 also
won four straight from the Detroit
Americans but this run was pre-
ceded by a tie game with the score
standing 3 to 3 when darkness
halted the play. Tine longest series
was that of 1912 in which eight
games were played with the Boston
Americans winning four and the
New York Nationals, three, with one
tie game thrown in ror good meas
ure.
