Hunting From
an Automobile

rifle out of a car going at from forty to
fifty miles an hour over rough ground
is too much to ask or expect. There
are less stones now and we are making
Roadway.
The three cars on my right keep
little in the rear, in order to facilitate
my turning movement, but they too are
making good pace. At times, for few
minutes, We are travelling at over forty
miles IN hour, and once or twice the
gaZelle are almost within range; then
some little watercOurse or some extra
stony patch gives them their chance
and they increase the distance again.
At length our course seems clear and
the car bounds forward. The pace is
splendid but rather terrifying. Half
standing, half lneeling on the seat, l
wait to get my chance of a shot, then
suddenly the car sWerves in way that
nearly throws me out-and stops. A
yard or two ahead is a dry water
course, a meter wide perhaps and half
a meter deep and full of boulders, an
the passing of which necessitates
search for a practical passage. and al

course toward the stony ground Is

1t was not long before fresh herds
were put up, but always breaking
away to the left they succeeded in
reaching the low stony slopes that
form the northern boundary of the
Rahamna plain. At a signal from
Kaid Ayadi we turn southwark to seek
more advantageous ground and emerg-
ing from the stones our cars roll
across the level plain at pace of 30

scarcer here-though great bustard

charge of buckshot. At length, how

William Robyn Reveals
Admirable Tenor Voice
Recruit From Vaudeville and
Picture Houses Proves Right
to Concert Stage

Dilliam Robyn, tenor, gave his first
recital at Carnegie Hall last evening.
This young man has experienced many
vicissitudes, some of which have forced
him into vaudeville and motion picture
houses. But lis singing last evining
plainly showed that his rightful place
has finally been attained. Mr.. Robyn
has a beautiful voice, lyric in quality,
which he uses ecectively and with skill.
His program, which included old Ital-
ian, old French and old English songs,
and others by Schumann, Schubert,
Strauss, Hue, List and La Forge, gave
ample opportunities to Judge the ver-
satilty and fullness of his accomplish
ments. His phrasing was polished, his
diction in French, English and Italian
excellent, and he showed understand
ing of the contrasted styles of many
composers.
"Le Reve," from Massenet's "Manon,"
the only operate air on the program,
was admirably sung. The same can be
said Of his singing of "Eli, Eli" and, in
fact, of hsi work throughout the
evening. Altogether Mr.. Robyn shows
very definite signs Of bright future.
Frank La Farge's accompaniments were

BOSTON, Nov. Ex-Governor Cool

public career he had striven always to
stimulate interest in education by get
ing the public to make richer invest

"If you want an interest in any
project" he said, "get some one to
make an investment in it, and then
their interest always follows their in
vestment."
Referring to figures indicating that
the average Of the women teachers
salaries in the state has been increased
nearly IS per cent in two years, so that
it is somewhat more than $1,000 at the
present time, Governor Coolidge said
"While the average is somewhat sat

in Massachusetts where the community
has not yet been able to- bring it's
standard up to what we would like to
see it.

Number of College
Students Enrolled
State Also Holds Record for
Residents Who Are Taking
Courses; Jersey First in
Percentage in Other States

A study Of student migration shows
that New Jersey leads all other states
IN the percentage of its college stu
dents in other states to be educated
New Hampshire leads all others in the
percentage of students received from
other states for education, and New
York ranks first in the total number of
undergraduates sent outside the state
TOR college instruction.
inns information is furnished by DR..
Robert l.. Kelly, executive secretary of
the Council of Church Boards of Edu-
cation, who has completed survey for
the organization Of the student move
ment throughout the United States.
The survey does not include the larger
state universities, but simply the in
stitutions ranked as accredited colleges
by the Association of American Uni
versities, the North Central Associa-
tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools
and the University of California.
The survey revealed that Ohio and
Pennsylvania are i'll the lead with the
greatest number of colleges, there be-
ing seventeen in each state. There are
twelve states which have no accredited
colleges. These are Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah,
W eSI Virginia ana w yOm1ng. IneSe
rwelve furnish 2,246 college students to
the institutions of other states in the
list surveyed.
CONVERSELY, it is interesting to
note" said Dr. Kelly, "that California
comes the nearest of any state to TAX
ing care Of her own students Only Sc
per cent of California students attend
college outside thu state"
Among other facts revealed by the
survey are:
Ohio leads in the total number of
college students enrolled;
The District Of Columbia has the
highest average enrolment, which is
2,629;
Massachusetts leads in the total
number Of students drawn from outsd Q
the state, the number being 4,165; and
Ohio leads in the total number of
students in and outside the state.
There is striking lack of migration,
the survey showed, of students OF
Southern states to states of the North.
Outside of limited amount of migra-
ton from one Southern state to an
other, Southern student migration is
almost nil
