 The action of the president direct the Railroad Botherhoods who have stated that they would prefer reduced cost of living to endless cycle in which compensation sounds larger dollars ony but not larger in purchasing power.
 Indeed only disaster from the organizing of prices Either industry brought basis which things will be produced making for stability or industry will be plunged into state of chaos

The guilty ones, guilty to themselves and guilty to their families are seen at the New Haven's stations at City Island, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, Pelham. Mamaroneck Rye, Port Chester, South Norwalk and Bridgeport.
 It has become a common practice for some commuters to figure so close ly upon the leaving time of trains as to compel them to rush through sta tions and board trains as they are moving out. The records of death or injury from this practice are con- elusive proof of the danger involv- ed.

Alcohol beverages pour like a river in flood through the pages of Samuel Pepys Diary, the amazing document that makes the London of Charles Ii. much more clear to us than the Lon don of a century later.
 A great deal of intoxicating liquor, wines made from fruits and berries, and beer, and made at home but most of it was made commercially and sold in taverns and wine houses. Pepys mentions scores of these places. which he visited for his morning draught or fer his dinner at noon or for a drink toward niEhtfaU.
 Pepys happened to begin his diary on a Sunday, January l, 1859, and Terhaps that is the reason why noth- ing alcoholic appears in the entries of that date. But on the following day, the first sentences are, "In the morning before I went forth old East brought me a dozen bottles of sack and I gave him a shilling for his

Apparently there was little drunk in the morning as this liquid breakfast was usually re- stricted to one drink.

 Pepys records one occasion when, being somewhat more sober than Penn, he had to lead the worthy knight to his home. On another OCCa- sion Pepys and his friends had won 30 shillings from Penn in a practica, joke and they celebrated it by q merry meeting at the Dolphin.

The world in these four years has suffered a terrific loss, the human part of which is incapable of caIculation-for who can compute the value of all that vigorous energy stricken out of service and mental contribution?

UNIVERSITY ADDS
NEW DEPARTMENT

st. Paul, March 2G.-So great has
the need for education and Ameri-
can1Zati0n become that the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota has enlarged cor
respondence study department under
the general extension division.
1T was once thought that to gain

| teacher" says the University depart
1nent. MANY still think this and
some give up all effort to self i'm
provement II they cannot attend
schools. 1t Is to meet just such needs
as theirs that the correspondence sec
tion of the university has been devel-
oped"
The work at present includes pre-
paratory and college grade courses
and vocational courses in business
and engineering subjects. The pre-
paratory courses are of high school
grade. The college courses enable
one to work for credit toward a de-
gree from the University. AS many
as half the credits required may be
earned in this way. Students who
seek university credit must be able
to satisfy the entrance requirements
Of the university but If credit is not
desired one may register for these
courses. Many Of them are Of gen
eral value dealing as they do with
economics history, political science,
sociology and other subjects Of pres
ent interest. The vocational courses
are practical in their nature and
make constant application of the
principles they teach. These as well
as the other type Of courses will be
increased in number and scope as the
demand grows.
