would have been one unit Of fleet,

the next battle between air and

a very different story.

be that the tests demonstrated no

THE AIRPLANE BOMBING

Washington, Aug. q Especial
Correspondence The bombing tests
against the Ostfriesland were spec

her hull. The announcement has
gone forth TO the country by press
associations and private wire that
airplanes have demonstrated their
ability to sink battleship.
Such a conclusion requires some
qualification. When the Ostfriesland
was sent To the bottom she was no
battleship in the true sense Of the
word. She was a helpless hulk, an
chored, wallowng in the waves; un-
able to move, TO send an answering
shot at her aerial attackers, to throw
out a smoke screen, or make any
other effort at self defense. The
planes approached their prey at
their leisure, flew at a height that
would have beer suicide in the face

dropped small preliminary ranging
bombs, and then let loose their big
charges of TINT. They few over

AT cenSuses prior To 1870 the enum-
ertOrs' returns showed the sex distri-
button of the white population only,
for which the ratio of males to fe-
males was lOi To 100 In 1910 and 1900
and 1898 to 100 in 1880.
Thus IL will be seen that In the
United States there has been a pre-
ponderance OF males at every census

condition is due In large measure to
the fact that the total population In

foreign-born persons-abOut IL per

excess OF males is not. however. due

SIX IMPORTANT REASONS WHY
A YOUNG MAN OR WOMAN
SHOULD GO TO COLLEGE


That our sons may be as plants
grown up in their youth; that our
daughters may be as cornerstones,
polished after the similitude of a
palace. psalm 144:I2).
|. A college education will add Ia
your earning capacity. 1t will help
you to make money, and help you to
enjoy it and use it right when you
get it. Andrew Carnegie says: "The
business men of America have at last
come to realize that college educa.
ton has a commercial value"
A college education will insure a
success in life. Other things being
equal, the college man has ten times
the chance of succeeding in business
or professions of the man with only
high school education, and he has
500 times the chance of the men with
no schooling. The Western Electric
Company has tried out college men
for number of years, and after ten
years of experience gives the follow.
ing conclusion: "Only ten per cent
of men without college education
made good, while ninety per cent Of
men with college education made
good
2. A college education will help
one to get at homo in the world. It
will teach you what men have done,
thought and aspired to be. 1t will
open your eyes to the beauties and
wonder of the world you live in.
3. You will become acquainted
with scholars of the highest charac-
ter and attainments, and form friend.
ships that will be lasting and infiu-
entail.
4. A college education will bring
out and develop your native ability.
1t will keep you from being a round
peg in square hole.
5. A college education will help
you to be of great service to others.
A college will teach you how.
6. An education in a Christian
college helps develop the very highest
type of character. Much depends on
the atmosphere of a school.
As Sir Walter Scott lay dying he
said to his son-in-law, Lockhart, BE
a good man, my dear, nothing else
will give you any comfort when you
