world trade in the opinion Of Dr. Swiggett, require high level of intel ligence, of vision and character, of skill and information, to enable it's successful prosecution by an individ ual corporation or nation. In view of which," he added, "one observes with satisfaction the careful and studious preparation now going on in our schools and colleges of young men and young women for some career of usefulness in overseas service, helping to strengthen our international rela- tions and to increase the Nations eco homie prosperity"
 If the present remarkable develop ment in training for foreign service continues, Dr Swiggett concluded, the young American commercial ambas- sador, with his traditional and char acteristic initiatice and virility, will be- come domnating factor in deciding the ultimate trend of world trade.

SPECIAL COURSES IN BIG
 COLLEGES HELP AMERICAN
 WORLD TRADE STRUGGLE

WASHINGTON, Dec IS. - Ameri- can prestige in the intense struggle for world trade must be maintained. To this end American colleges and uni versailles are rapidly extending their activities in preparing the youth of the nation to enter the battle fully equipped to maintain this country's po- sition among the foremost powers Contending for world trade, according to Dr. Glen Levin Swiggett. widely known educator and noted authority on foreign service work.
 Dr, Swiggett laid great emphasis upon the remarkable growth in American colleges and universities in recent years in respect to educational preparation for foreign service, and for commerce in particular.
 The development of foreign service training in American educational in stitutions can largely be attributed to the personal efforts of Dr. Swiggett, as chairman of the Committee of Eff teen on Educational Preparation for Foreign Service,
 The Committee of Fifteen was ap- pointed in 1916 by the Commissioner of Education of the Department of the Interior to investigate and report from time to time upon this important type of training, and Dr Swiggett, for many years a dominating figure in for eign service educational training. was named its chairman.
 Realizing the importance of broad ening the scope of foreign service edu- cation in the colleges and universities of the country, Dr Swiggett, speaking before general meetings of the Ma tional Educational Association on sev. eral occasions. directly challenged the higher educational institutions "tO show whether the Nation can prepare for our foreign service. of business and government. of church and society hy building on and through our estab- lished educational system"
 The results of this challenge. in the opinion of Dr Swiggett, followed by the universal scramble for world trade as an inevitable aftermath of the World war, are beginning to mani fest themselves.
 Ut is indeed gratifying" he said "to note at this time the splendid manner in which this challenge has been met by our colleges and universities, near ! ly l2 per cent of which have reported courses in foreign service, foreign trade in particular"
 According to recent statistics sub mitted to Dr Swiggetts Committee of Fifteen there are now seventy one American higher educational manw. Uous offering this special training. The ten highest each reported an na- roImrut of more than one hundred -tu- dents taking foreign trade totaluH 2.255 students. This comprises, Dr. SweEctt pointed out with extreme satisfaction. about one-fifth the total number of students enrolled for all courses in collegiate schools of husi- ness reporting to the Bureau of Edu- cation only five years ago.
 Commenting on the attractiyeness of the foreign trade training now being offered by colleges and universities all over the country, Dr. Swiggett said;

averaged 1L-7S miles per gallon OF
gasoline over Il concrete road and but
SIS miles per gallon over an earth
road in average condition.
The truck was tested over seven
different kinds of highway. On the
e2rth road the mileage per gallon OF
gasoline WAS as above noted, 5.1S. On
fair gravel, 7,19 miles per gallon; on
good gravel, 939 miles; on fair ma
cadam, 9.4S miles; on fair brick, 9.SS
miles on good brick, 11.44 miles, and
on concrete, hts miles per gallon OF

Accordingtto the above figures, for a
man who drives his auto 5000 miles
during the year and assuming that T.
600 miles of the total will be over me-
dium to poor roads, the balance over
fair to good roads, the cost of gasoline
would ESQ to $50 in excess OF what
it would be if all of the road was

ALREADY UNDER WAY;
MORAY WILL SPEAK

Despite the fact that Armistice Day
is still over three months away, plans
for fitting celebration are already
under way The American Legion, at
a meeting held nearly one month ago,
named a special committee to care for
the details of an Armistice Day cele-
bration.
Plans for this year are not as ea-
tensive as were those last year, when
a fund OF $4,000 was raised, and vir-
tually every organization and institu-
tion in the city was represented by a
float in the Armistice Day parade.
Assurance are not lacking, however,
that the day will be honored by eX-
service men of Wayne county.
Responding to an invitation issued
by the American Legion Armistice
Day committee, Governor Warren T.
McCray has announced his intention
to be present on Armistice Day. Rep
resentative Richard n. Elliott will
also be here.
Further arrangements for a celebra
tion are in the hands of the committee
which consists of the following per
sons: Dr. George B. Hunt, Ray Umple,
by, Paul Comstock, R. n. Tomlinson
and A. P. Often.
A parade is planned as one of the
features of the days celebration.
