that it has been proven that as the

TO say:
THE great change in prices. in the
United States has been due, not to a
fall in the value of gold, but to a rise
in the values of goods. At the present
time, forces are at work tending to
make the value Of gold rise rather
than fall High prices and high wages
are curtailing gold production, and
with diminished production there has
come also an increased Industrial con-
sumption of gold. At the present time
the arts and industries are consuming
more gold in the United States than
our gold mines are producing. If no

HOWARD GETS AN OPTION ON LARGER
 CAMPUS ACREAGE
WoodlaWn Site Is Practical Certainty---PreSent Plant Will Later Become Home
 of Preparatory SCool

There are two great movements in the present life of Howard college said pr. Charles B. Williams, president of the institution, in speaking yesterday of the opening of the term.
 The first is the great opening of this week, with the largest registration, dur
 ing the first week, in the history of the Institution. During these first four days the enrolment shows an increase of fifty
 per cent over the first four days regis
 tration for last year.
 "The students come from eight states.
 from Texas to South Carolina, the widest
 area ever covered by the student body.
 The personnel is fine. All the rooms in
 all buildings are engaged. The regis
 and fifty before the close of the first
 week, and probably three hundred be-
 fore the close of the first quarter. Others
 wishing to enter will be provided for, but
 by all means should enter next week, if possible.
 "The second great event took place on July Sth when the board of trustees voted
 to authorize the committee to secure an
 option on the aeautiful site of 12o acres, occupying a plateau on Woodlawn heights between the Seaboard railroad ard Red Mountain, near the Tidewater, East Lake and Gate City car lines, in front of which the realty companies are
 planning to build boulevard to connect East Lake, Woodlawn, Southside, and the rest of the ctiy. The committee has concluded the trade with the Woodlawn
 Realty Company, and the option has an ultimate limit of June 10th, 1921. This op- ton has been secured with the express purpose of organizing campaign in Birmingham to raise at least s50o,0oo with which to erect new buildings on the above site. to become the nucleus of the greater Howard.
 Ut is being contemplated to turn the present Howard buildings and sufficient campus into a great preparatory school. | It is argued that the present buildings at | Howard though unsuited for great | modern college plant, may well be uti' | lized for twelve or fifteen years for a preparatory school. It is also felt that | the present buildings, valued recently by an unbiased, competent appraisement committee at s9o,000 may be made to rem | der the city and state, as a preparatory school, service not to be computed in dollars and cents.
 "If the campaign succeeds and the funds are raised, nearly all the trustees voting on the option felt that it would | be wise to build the greater Howard 'or l the new site and use the present build. | irgs for the preparatory school"
