Average Intelligence
OF Collegians Lower
Washington University Report
Comedies With Those of
Other Institutions

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1O.--The average in
telligence of college students is lower
than that which prevailed years ago,
according to the annual report Of Dr..
Frederick A. Hall, chancellor Of Wash
ington University.
This conclusion, the report explains,
comedies with that Of authorities in
other educational institutions, as as
certained through correspondence. The
number of college students hase been
increasing steadily, the report states.
"lf the present growth Of numbers is
indicative of what may be expected in
the near future" continues the report,
the colleges will have to watch care
fully in order to prevent turning tut a
lower type Of graduate than that which
has characterized colleges hitherto.
ut is only fair to say that, so far
as l can learn from the faculty, it Is
thought that the work of The student
body has not this year been as good
as that of previous years; that, con-
trary to the peoples expectations that
the young would be more purposeful
and earnest by reason of war expert
ence, they seem to be less inclined to
serious labor, and that an unusual pro-
portion Of students had to be dropped
becaus eof the inferior quality of their
work"
The report asserts that until two
years ago the proportional increase by
women in the college section of the
university was gaining notably on the
proportional incraese in the number of
men, but that in the last two years the
proportional increase by men has been
greater. Men, the report adds, usually
arc reluctant to continue in classes in
which they are outnumbered by women.

Wreck Settles Question
Three Airplanes Which Worried

PEKING, Nov. 9.-The question as
to what use shall be made Of several
airplanes recently bought by the
Chinese government, whether for war
or for establishment Of mail service
as stipulated in the contract for their
purchase from British firm, has
been settled so far as three Of them
are concerned.
Chang Tsolin, who at present domi-
mates North China militarily, ordered
three Of the six machines shipped to
him at Nukden. The others were to
be sent to Paotingfu for military pur-
poses. Those destined for Mukden
were loaded on fatcars and started
northward Some distance beyond

union, have declined to share in what
they regard as an anti-British political
demonstration.
The business community views the
prospect with alarm. The government
is determined to insist on the rail-
ways carrying all traffic, and has
threatened that, if they do not do so,
the subsidy which enables the divi-
dends to be paid may cease. This has
disturbed the railway shareholders
who include plenty OF Sim Feiners
who sympathize politically with the
anti-munitions policy of the men. Al
ready the farmers in western Ireland
cannot get their cattle to the eastern
ports for transmission to England.
Traders have difficulty in transmit
ting merchandise.
Everybody is hit and the question is
raised whether the demonstration IS
worth all its costs. Some of the news
papers which encouraged the man to ,,-

slider the position on the ground that
1t has not hurt the government at al,
and may ruin Ireland.

are supported by Sim Fein opinion.

In all, William now employs six
cooks, who include q chef and an as-
sistant living at the castle and four
women who come in to work by the
day. There are also a number of
gardeners and personal servants.
To maintain this army of servants.
whose average wages. the people Of
Doom say, must be something more
than dollar a day, William pays in
wages alone about $4,000 a year.
Their upkeep costs him as much more,
and this does not include the high
salaried employees like General Won
Gontard, Captain Won Ilseman, the
court physician" and secretaries, who
must cost the ex-Emperor about
$4,000 more.
During his eighteen months stay at
the Bentinck castle at Ameroneea
William lived st the rate of about s325

to be spending much more.
in addition to buying the house Of

PORTLAND, Feb. 13.-Two city

and induced him to attempt the sale OF
five ounces to druggist month ago
caused the sentence today of John L.
Lowe. negro. to 90 days in Jail.
''If you think that imposing this
Jail sentence you are Going to make me
tell the names of the detectives, you
are mistaken" Lowe said, after Fed
eral Judge Bean had pronounced
sentence.
He pleaded guilty to the charge of
selling the drug, but asked leniency be-
cause he was the tool of others.
These detectives called me up on
the telephone and asked me to meet
them.' he told Judge Bean. "They sent
me into drug store TO make the sale,
but the druggist told me to come back
later. When / returned, 1 was arrest

The cardboard package in which
the cocoaine was contained is similar
to those used at police headquarters
for storing prisoners property. The
detectives are known, but lack of evil
dence prevents their arrest, it was said
by federal officials.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-No little
comment is heard OF a speech made be-
fore the Public Health Committee by
Representative Caleb r. Layton,
Of Delaware, against extension Of the
Public Health Service ON the ground
that II is too much paternalism.
Mr.. Layton told of writing to the
Public Health Service and asking how
many physicians We're employed by it
and how much they were paid in the
aggregate. He read a letter received
in reply stating there were 2,3O0 doc
tors appointed for duty all medical
graduates and properly licensed to
practice. the total pay Of which was
Si,60i 600 annually. This was exclu-
sive Of nurses, attendants. etc.

the intention Of Congress to substitute

"In this matter there is an increas-

States OF the Union. Federal control
is extending itself TO such a degree
that the people Of the various States,
whose duty it is TO provide for educa-
tion themselves, are gradually losing
their initiative, and growing more and
more to lean on the paternal arm Of
the Federal Government.
MANY Of these est'mable people are
seeking more and more TO broaden the
scope Of Federal control Most of them
are ignorant OF the consequences. Some
OF them are secret disciples of nation

the foundation stone is socialism. | am

William Gillette's famous stage farce,
TOO Much Johnson" OF which the
actor was the author besides being the
principal player, receives It's initial
screen presentation under the same
title with Bryant Washburn at the
Queen Theatre, beginning today.
As suggestive as the title may sound,
the hero Of "TOo Much Johnson Is
not named Johnson. It is the assump-
tion Of this name and It's possession by
Others met by him that causes the
trouble
Augustus Billings was a model hus-
band IN every way, with a charming
and devoted wife and happily con-
tented except for. his mother-in-law,
who was always suspicious and dis
trustful OF him.
TOO Much Johnson" Is laughable at
every point in Its telling.
