But Delaware is not the only college
whose students are consulting ouija.
Read the following from Ann ArbOr,
Mich, where the University Of Michi-
gan is located:
"Ouija boards are becoming more
plentiful in the fraternity and society
homes and in the rooms Of Independent
students than Bibles or prayer books
and more frequently consulted, declared
a member Of the faculty Of the Uni
versity Of Michigan, commenting on a
report he had just received that two
young women In his classes had been
/ Obliged TO leave school and place lhem-
selves In the hands OF nerve specialists
because Of their devotion 10 the ouija
board.
Another member OF the university
faculty recently issued this warning
in the classroom: III the students will
devote the time to study that they now
give 10 the ouija board there will be
fewer students placed on the home
or on the warned lists at the end OF
the semester, after the examinations
are over. To my mind the lure OF
ihe oulja is becoming a serious menace
| in this country"
cdr. Warren Forsythe, head OF the
| university health service, admitted thai
/ there had been a great influx Of nerv-
Gus students appearing lately for treat
ment.
"One city nerve specialist said he haF
/ treated university women for extreme
nervousness and that their difficulty
seemed to have been caused by toe
/ close association with the ouiia board
and too great belief in its wanderings.'

An Honor for EdgertOn.

No small honor has been bestowed
on the city of Edgerton through dis
tinction conferred on one of it's citizens,
Mr.. Ruel w. Roberts. He has just re-
ceived letter from Paris, from the
president of the Royal Astronomical
Society of France, advising him that
through the recommendation of Flam-
marion and Touchet he has been elect
ed to membership in that distinguished
society, and enclosing a reply to be
signed. This has come as an entire
surprise to Mr.. Roberts. He has had
no intimation whatever of any such
contemplated action.
Some idea of the distinction may be
gathered from the fact that only as
tronomers of note are invited to this
membership, and so far only few
Americans have been so honored. It is
assumed that this election to member
ship in this distinguished body of sci
entists has resulted from the endorse
ment of some American astronomer, as
Mr.. Roberts is not personally acquaint-
ed with the distinguished Flammarion
or Touchet, but has wide acquaint-
ance among American astronomers.
This speaks for itself as to the work
Mr.. Roberts has done in astronomy.
Many have known of his telescope and
lecture work, but were not familiar
with the real merits of his work. The
city of Edgerton rejoices with him in
this honor which it delights to share.

Reflection.

Election of his own face. Frown at 1t,

Ohio
DAYTON, O., May 81, 1920.

Reports from different sections of
the great Burley tobacco belt of Ken
lucky, Indiana, Ohio and West Vir-
ginia indicate that plant beds as rule
are quite late this year, and it is pre-
dicted that the 1920 crop will go into
the field from two to three weeks later
than usual. Preparation of ground, it
is said, has been about on par with
that of last year, and there seems to.
be no just ground for believing that
the current crop will be materially
smaller than last year, unless weather
conditions should be extremely unfav
orable throughout the growing season.
