TAe Significance of the College
 Drive"

One of the most striking records of the increase of incomes and of the general effect of prosperity on the country at large is to be seen in the comparative list of enrollments of the various colleges as printed in the Saturday edition of the Boston Trans eript.
 Of the institutions located in this state Connecticut College shows the greatest growth,-an increase of near ly 8 f-3 per cent over the enrolment in 1916. Yale had 3262 in 1916, while her enrolment today IS 346l. Wesleyan, after a drop to 379 last year, has 593 this year Trinity alone shows drop in registration, the col lege body this year numbering 227 to 282 last year.
 The publication of these material increases in the student bodies,-an increase which is broadcast through out the country, draws immediate at tention to the drives" which are being conducted for the endow ment of various universities and col leges. Probably more than any other class today. the teacher and professor is suffering most from the imitation of prices and the general rise in the high cost of living Prosperity is pouring students into the colleges.
 Meanwhile the professors salary remains unchanged. At the same rate of pay which he received in pre-war times-and it can be safely said that even then his salary was not commen- surate with the value of instruction given-he is laboring with the intel lectual welfare of the college man and woman, but he is laboring even more with the support of his home, his wife and his children.
 The result is that college professors and instructors are resigning and their places are being taken by inferior men. Trained minds are paid high salaries in the great business organ ixations of today. The man of intel lectual training and capacity is no longer a drain on the market.
 It follows that the requests for money for the endowment of our col seges is not merely request for the support of alumni and those directly interested in the colleges welfare. These drives have a deeper signifi- canoe in the cold fact that through in- creased revenue alone can the high standard and the intellectual require ments of the colleges be maintained by the employ of the proper faculties and these faculties can be secured to- day only by adequate financial re muneration.

 He reviews at some length the pur- pose of the War Department in stand ing for an army of 5000 men, but along the same lines as he has ex- plained to Congressional Committees.
 The total amountof surplus proper ty at home and abroad was 3,700, ,000,- 900 at the time of the armistice. Of this s2, ,583, ,000,000 has been disposed of, giving a return to the War De- partment of s1,314, ,000,000 or re covery of 51 per cent, based on the ra- tio of return to cost.

FIVE BILLION TO RUN U. S. IN

FLY T. bIIlJlON lO NUN Cs to. i-N 1921.-The record $1 ,000, 100000 Congresses of ordinary peace times faded into the past when Secretary Glass, presenting the annual esti- mates, proposed appropriations of virtually s5,000. 100000 for conduct ing the peace-time activities of the government during, the fiscal year 1921. According to these figures 1t will cost more than five times as much to conduct the peace-time affairs of government as it did in the year i'm mediately preceding the world war.
 The greatest individual estimates for expenditures, of course, go to the army and the navy The yearly inter est on the war debt, however, is $l,- or, 7,500.000, which sum alone is greater than all the appropriations for all purposes whatsoever of any peace-time Congress.
 All in all the estimates justify the predictions made on the floor of Con- gress during consideration of the war tax bills, that the present generation would not see the government con- ducted at an expense of less than S4,- 00,000, 1000 year.

BULK OF FLEET TO ENGLAND.

BULK OF FLEET TO ENGLAND. The Supreme Council has adopted the British suggestion for partition of the German war fleet Under ahe ar engagement Great Britain will receive 70 per cent of the total tonnage, France 10 per cent, Italy 10 per cent, Japan 8 per cent and the United States 2 per cent.
 France is to be awarded ten of the German submarines, the Supreme Council has decided France is al- lowed this number of submersibles, it is explained. because during the war she was unable to build to the extent of others of the Allies, her plants be- ing devoted to the making of muni- tions for the use of all.
 The present understanding IS that the remainder of the submarines will be broken up.

This Snakes Hide
Tanned All Right

There is an tanned snake skin in
William Farnum at Sag Harbor,
Long Island, and this is the story
of how it got there. The skin once
belonged to a seven foot, diamond
back rattlesnake that made his
headquarters in the everglades on
the outskirts of Miami, Fla. It
was captured by a party of men
who devoted q day to the job, and
taken to a picturesque Zulu village
that had been built by William Fox
for filming The Jungle Trail
In the picture, the snake is car
ried to a hut in wooden box and
then is dumped carefully into a cot
in which Mr.. Farnum is to sleep.
Mr.. Farnum later discovers the rep
tile, killing it just as 1t is about
to strike him. Obviously q scene
OF this sort could not be rehearsed.
Mr.. Farnum was to grapple with
the snake il that seemed to be prac-
teal at the moment; otherwise he
was to use a 45-calibre automatic.
When the actor drew back the
covers, the snakes ten rattlers were
buzzing so energetically that Mr..
Farnum didn't care to take chance.
He used his automatic. Then he
had the snake skinned and tanned
and shipped to Sag Harbor-
The picture in which this snake
appears will be shown today at the
Pastime theatre.
