Raised Tuition Fees.

One alternative remained. Miss Taft
stated. if the money was not raised
through endowment. and that was by
raising the tuition fees. If this were
done then the less wealthy girls
would be unable to attend. In her
o2inion. the discrimination in ednca-
tion would he one of the greatest
p"rils to the country.
! Hishop Alfred Harding presided and
introduced each speaker. He stated
that the economic condition of teach
ing at the present time was 4 great
peril to humanity. as ambitious men
and women are not looking forward
to teaching. This situation if CON
tinued would mean a dearth of
teachers.
Frederick A. Delano, father of two
Rryn Mawr graduates. spoke on the
psychology of giving. He stated that
the old slogan give until it hurts
was not good one. but one should
give according to the worthiCess of
the cause.

EGLIGEES patterned after the

veloping popularity at rate that
promises to make them rivals of the

there is plenty of precedent for the

Is more than fine enough.

Of Chinese inspiration is shown in the

Very pretty negligees of lightweight

The Landmark makes note O.
the fact that one of the leading
religious newspapers of the State
discussing prices, tells its read
ers that clothing can be bought
cheaper in Richmond than in
North Carolina and suggests that
a catalogue Of a we'll known Chi.
cago mail-order house (naming
the house, is a good thing to have
at hand. In other words this
Church paper advises it's readers
in effect to boycott the home dea,
ler and trade in Richmond and
Chicago. And The Landmark
.submitS by way of comment that
the paper has the privilege if
1t chooses to exercise it and folks
who have a fancy for patronizing
mail order houses will do that
in spite Of all that is said and
done. But the eternal truth re.
mains that no town or communi.
ty or State will be built up and
attain material prosperity if all
the folks do business away from
home; and a good many people
who exercise this privilege of
spending away from home t h e
money earned at home and en-.
couraging others to do likewise,
might find their buying capacity
materially reduced if all the folks
followed their example and ad
vice. The church papers might
find their business materially re.
duced If all the folks followed

Is there'any -four readers who

how many have read Mrs. He.

lived in Corsica, and the Corsi.
cans say his name was Giacomo
Jacante Casabianca, q ayoung mid.
shipman of the feet which Ma.
poleon collected to transport his
army for the conquest Of Egypt.
This feet reached Aboukir in
Egypt, and, after the army. had
landed continued to ride at an.
chor in the bay. Here Nelson
found it, and with great daring,
sailed some Of his ships into the
narrow stretch Of sea between
the French feet and land. Thus
he was able to attack the enemy
from both sides, and won q great
battle, destroying the fleet and
thus cutting Of the army of Ma.
poleon.
During the fight the guns of
the English feet continued for
hours to pour shot into the great
French flagship, the "Orient,"
but still the brave French who
manned the ship held out and
kept their flag flying. At last
heavy firing from Nelson's flag
ship, the Vanguard" set the
Orient" on fire and wounded
her captain. As the fire got g.
hold the gunuers were obliged
to abandon their guns, while the
captain, Csssbiancas father. NOR.
tally wounded, gave his last or.
ders to his crew to abandon the
ship.
Begging the boy to come with
them, they sprang overheard, and
were, many of them, rescued by
the English, while the boy refus.
ing stayed by his father. As the
night came on and the vessel con.
tinued to burn the boy begged
his father to jump overheard with
him; but the faith er refused,
wounded though he was, to desert
his ship, though urging his son
to do so. at last the flames bur.
ned up through the deck. round
the two; then came q great explo.
sion, and the burning vessel sank
beneath the waves, carrying
down with it these two brave
souls. Kings Own.

ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR LIBERTY MOTOR
Arm Planes Win Our Glaciers And
Wooded WlIdllnssses.

Ford-built Liberty M06ors car
ried the four army air planes
which on October 20 completed
the 5000 mile journey from Nit
chell Fields Long Island, to Nome
Alaska and return. The feet was
greeted over New York City by q
Aotilla Of forty army planes which
escorted it to Mineola. The retur-
ming planes touched their wheels
to earth at 3:l5 In the afternoon.
The Alaskan Flying Expedis
tion, commanded by Captain st.
Clair Street, undertook the jour.
ney to demonstrate the durabili-
ty Of modern air planes and mo-
tors, and to effect the establish.
ment Of an aerial route to the
Northwestern corner Of the A.
mericau continent and Asia. Such
q route would bring mail from
Alaska to the States in two or
three days, whereas the present
method of transmission requires
thirty days.
Talk about service said Cap.
tain Street, Those planes and
motors sure stood up. Why, the
only trouble we had on the entire
trip was caused by the worst bit
of weather I've ever flown thru
or want to fly thru. We had ev-
erything rain, snow, hail and
sleet, clouds, fog and mist. But
we kept right on flying.
THE 230 miles Of glaciers we
traversed was q wonderful sight,
but there would have been little
hope for rescue had we cracked
up in that wilderness. Altogeth.
er, it was a rough trip. l never
want to fly thru such weather a.
gain, but the planes stood it mag.
nifcently. Instead of battered
hulks, Topping to earth after
winded fight, they looked brand
new. Even the turnbuckles are
polished and the motors looked
as if they had just come off the
testing block.
We never changed q spark
plug. Never cylinder missed
onfus during the entire trip. The
motors are in as good condition
today as when we set out"
Before the flight, all the pilots
asked for ships with Ford-made
Liberty motors.
Due to the nature of the work
which engaged the expedition,
the Aleet required q period OF
three months to complete t h e
trip. Since all the original mo.
tors completed the journey with
out repairs or requirements, this
is believed to be Q record for ae.
rial navigation, It will be recalled
that during the war, it was gen.
orally the practice tooverhaul the
airp,ane motors after approx
mately each twenty hours of
flight.
Tis il the second notable event
In which Ford Liberty motors
have figured prominently, the
first being the transatlantic
jump of the Ford Liberty, equip

PR0F|TEER|NG HELD
CAUSE FOR UNREST
Senator Walsh Declares Pub.
lie 0utcries Bring About
Acute Political Problem.

Profiteering-was denounced today
in the Senate by Senator Walsh. dem
ocrat. Massachusetts. who assert ed
that extortions of profiteers are the
principal cause of widespread unrest
and that Congress has been "culpa bly,
inactive" in moving to relieve the
situation.
Senator Walsh cited many large
dividends. including stock dividends.
paid recently by big corporations and
declared the public outcries against
the high cost of living were an acute
political problem.
Urges Senate Action.
Republican leadership and majori-
ties in Congress, the Massachusetts,
failure to enact nti-profiteering leg
islation. The republicans. he added.
cannot shift the responsibility to the
President or department heads.
Among recommendations made by
Senator Walsh to check profiteering
were: Senatorial investigation of in
come tax returns to disclose indi-
vidual profiteers: passage of several
pending bills. including the packer
regulation measure, the McNary bill
to stamp cost prices on shoes, the
coid-storage regulation bill and
others.
Il further recommend said Sen
ator Walsh. that Congress promptly
inaugurate public trading on a large
scale unless exorbitant profits are
voluntarily and materially reduced at
once. In other words, I recommend
government competition as an avail
able remedy"
Although the people were resigned to
high prices during the war. Senator
Walsh said they now demand relief from
'scandalous profit making"
conditions have grown worse" he
said. "and it seems that band of rob
bers infest the land. Combines and
trusts. by tacit il not actual agreement.
hold their products for constantly in
creasing gain and ruthlessly exploit the
buyers. The government, outside Of a
few weak and insignificant threats, has
not even attempted solution"
Among the instances Of corporation
profits cited by Senator Walsh were
those Of the big f1ve'' packers as re-
ported by the Federal Trade Commits
sion. the American Woolen Company and
several textile mills, steel companies,
coal operators and news print manufac-
turers.
Discussing whether the republican and
democratic parties are to fail the peo-
pie, Mr.. Walsh asked:
Shall they be forced to enroll in the
socialist party or to organize a third
party which shall offer a candidate
whose public record typifies opposition
to profteering and a platform which
promises. specific measures Of relief?"
