how the students felt about it, as she
was making preparations to go to her
home to spend the unexpected vaca-
ton. But everybody who can't go
on earth can anyone do at the college

Knitting was suggested as a
profitable occupation for the girls
vacation, but was vetoed emphatically
by a number who announced that their
chief ambition during the coming
week is to "sleep-oh, just any old
time or all the time. if we wantto.'
The men at the college have laid no
particular plans for self Improvement
during the vacation" it Is announced.
No one has been found who cares to
follow the example of the chemistry
student who was SO Jealous during the
FLU vacation last year that he
climbed over the transom of the local
door to make time on his
experiments and found himself con-
siderably ahead of his classes at the
reopening of school

GREAT CRASH is PREDICTED.
Only Halt in Upward Trend of Prices
Can Prevent Panic.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-Unless the up
ward trend in prices is stopped within
the next six months, there will be a
crash early next fall, w. H. Pipcorn,
Milwaukee. delegate to the National
Buildings Supply association, said here
today.
This crash will be of short dura-
ition-probably six months or a year"
Pipcorn said. This condition will
then change to one of prosperity,
which we may expect for several
years.
ITO prevent this depression we
must speed up production without
profiteering. By that I mean every
one must put in an honest days work,
manufacturers, laborers and farmers.
No one should expect anything for
nothing"

of the extent to which federal reserve
banks have withdrawn on grain held
in storage was ordered here by the
senate.

Morning Grain Gossip,

FURNISHED by b. c. Christopher & Coz
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 10,-The Tribune :
GRAIN-An uneasy feeling prevailed in
the grain trade last night. To those salts
fled with break of over 121a cents on
May, and 20 cents i'm cash corn, which is
now on a delivery basis for number four
grades, and with break of over 10 cents
in cash and II cents in May oats, and Il
cents in May rye from thS recent top prices
looked low enough for We present This
class of traders, as rule, took profits on
yesterdays break, altho they saw nothing
buIlish in the news, or In the general sit
fuation except that sterling exchange was a
little better.
Those who took a decidedly bearish posi-
ton on grains assumed that the longs have
not entirely liquidated in a market sense,
and that there is more to follow.
Country offerings of corn in practically
a result of the decline in cash prices of
late. Messages from Iowa. Nebraska and
Illinois points indicated that farmers had
stopped selling.
No change in contract stocks of corn In
public elevators in Chicago was made the
last week, the total being 140.000. bushels
Contract stocks of oats are 9S9.999 bushels
including 224 coo bushels number white
and 10000 bushels number 3 white, the
aggregate decreasing 81 600 bushels for the
week all number 3 white.
Food administration regulations are that
IA hedge put out against cash holdings or
same time. In other words, specuia ton in
hedges Is not permitted by the exchanges
Traders in the pit have seen operations
that were presumed to be removing Of
hedges. Investigation fails to show actual
trading of this character.

UNIVERSAL SERVICE KILLED
Action by Democrats Despite Wilson's
Appeal Dooms Bill for Present.


Washington, Feb. 10.-Hope of
passing a program of universal mill
tary training at this session appears
virtually gone today. Action of the
house Democratic caucus last night in
boiling the leadership of President
Wilson and expressing disapproval of
universal military training legislation
by vote of 106 to II, seems to spell
defeat for the program.
Explaining their action at the eau
Gus several Democrats declared that
they felt they knew the sentiment of
the country on military training better
than either the president or their lead
ers. Representative Caldwell. New
York, who led the fight in favor of
the presidents proposal, declared that
unless there is a change in sentiment
on the Democratic side of the house
it is apparent there are not enough
Republicans who favor universal
training to include it in the army re-
organization bill.
