Johns Hopkins University's bureau OF

a "job" at all. Such a conclusion ap'
pears TO follow the revelation or the
bureaus versatility made yesterday by
Its director, DIR. John c. French.
There are undergraduate students
who say they are willing 10 do any
thing from tutoring TO washing win

glad to sell anything from tooth-
brushes to insurance policies; there
are typists, telegraph operators; hotel
clerks and Sunday school teachers
"Odd Jobs for students are especial
ly scare this year." said DR.. trench'
This, of course, probably Is merely
phase of the general unemployment
situation, but the bureau has felt the
shortage of jobs most emphatically.
We have many students who have
relied upon obtaining part-time EN-
ployment to aid them through college,
and IL is these men who are keenly az
fected. Failure TO obtain work doubt
less will result in interrupting their
education"
Three undergraduate students have
been engaged as paid Sunday school

work at fall housecleaning" for the
wife of a member OF the Hopkins fac

TO DIR. French, had noted on his card
that he was glad to take a hand at
work of any kind, not excepting win
dow washing. DR.. French supplied
him with the telephone number of the
professors wife, who needed some one
TO assist in beating rugs, putting away
screens and other summer equipment,
washing windows and other work

promptly and made a good job of 1t.

Canada to Develop Mussel.

Canada is about To make capita.
out of a substitute for the oyster
which is found along the Atlantic
coast, chiefly in New Brunswick. II
is mussel which is by no means 6
new article of diet to the people of
Canada. Its delicacy of flavor and
high food value have been much ad
vertised since the establishment OF
government investigation and expert
.ment. A survey Of the mussel beds of
the St. CroiX river, which constitutes
the boundary between New Bruins,
wick ard Maine. has occupied the at
tention of scientist of the council
for three years, and it is expected
that this year will see the satisfac-
tory conclusion of the research. The
sea mussel cannot be produced in
fresh water, so that there is no pos
sibility of developing an industry in
the Great Lakes. 1t is believed that
there are possibilities, however, of the
development of fresh-water clans
there in the near future.

Professor Asserts You Find 1t

Latin is a living force in daily life

Dunn, dead of the department OF
Latin in the University of Oregon, in
a bulletin which he has written for
the Latin teachers in the high schools
and colleges of Oregon.
'The teacher" he says, must read
English from out the Latin and Latin

try, biology and physics in Caesar

tors prescriptions from Cicero's ora
tions; must flash the Idyls of the
King and Paradise Lost and THE

MANY KILLED IN
TULSA RlOT
State Militia Called Out to Qnell Fer
rible Race Riot in Oklahoma Town
At Least so Dead.

| Tulsa, Okla, June 1.--At least
twelve white people and fifty negroes
are dead today on account of race
riot which started here last night.
THE negro section of the town is on
fire and the state militia has been
called out to queli the disturbance.
A negro was arrested on charge of
assault on white girl and the riot
started when score or more white
persons, armed, clashed with about
200 negroes who gathered in the
vicinity of the court house.
Shortly before midnight last night
a crowd of white men marched on the
negro district. Shooting in the streets
began and continued until nearly noon
today. The state militia arrived at
o'clock and succeeded in putting
stop to the shooting part of the time.
Occasional shots were being fired up
to noon today.
The negroes fired on the trains as
they passed through town and Con-
ductor Tom Plunkard was shot as he
sat in the cupola of his caboose. One
shot grazed his forehead and one hit
him in the arm. He was not serious
ly injured and was taken to a hos
pital for attention. o. w. Keller Of
Monet, was brakeman for Mr.. Punk
ard.
Trains were discontinued until the
troop trains could arrive. No. 404
left here after 10 o'clock, being several
hours late. Much of the rioting oc-
CURED near the Frisco offices and
dead men were left lying in the street,
Shots were fired through the SWITCH
board of the telephone company and
and the telephone operators werebadly
frightened and afraid to leave the
building.
One woman was killed. as she went
out on her front porch. Her husband
went out and was also killed.
At o'clock today the part of the
town north of the railroad tracks ex-
tending west of Main street was still
on fire.
Late rumors we're that the distur-
bance had extended to Oklahoma City
but this was not confirmed.
Several thousand negroes are
gathered at convention hall for pro-
lection. Negroes are scattered along
the Frisco tracks for miles, leaving
Tulsa and carrying bundles of clothing

PLENTY OF PROOF
From People You know-From
Monet Citizens.

The greatest skeptic can hardly fail
to be convinced by evidence like this.
1T is impossible to produce better
proof of merit than the testimony Of
residents of Monet, of people who
can be seen at any time. Read the
following case of it:
Theo. Lynde, carpenter, 401 Euclid
Avenue Monett, says: II had accession
about year ago to use Doan's Kidney
Pills for severe backache and kidney
complaint. They removed the trouble
and have had no serious return Of it
since that time. / know that Doan's
Kidney Pills are reliable and will rec
ommend them at any time"
The above statement was given
September 80, 1916 and on January
90, 1920, Mrs. Lynde said: haven't
had need for kidney remedy now
for long time, and l give entire
credit to Doan's Kidney Pills"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Lynde had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

inner Tubes as lce.5aqs.

Ice-bags relieve the feverish patient
but they are not large enough to COO
his entire body. An old inner tube will
do much better job, says the Popu
lar Science Monthly.
You cut the tube at the place where
the valve is, ramove the valve, tie one
end of the tube tightly and fill the
tube with ice. Then tie the other end
and you will have a long narrow ice,
bag that may be placed at the side OF
the patient or even wrapped around
him.

JUDGE HENSON REvERSES RUL-
ING IN RTTTENHOUSE CASE

On last Saturday, Sizer & Gardner
argued before Judge Henson, their
motion for new trial in the Ritten-
house case. Last week this case was
on for trial, and at the close of all the
evidence, Judge Henson ruled that a
case had not been made sufficient TO
submit to the jury, under the Safety
Appliance Act.
He granted the plaintiff new tray
which entities her to have her case
submitted to the jury. The trial Judge
expressed himself as being confident
that the Upper Courts would sustain
him in his ruling, as the law was very
strongly in favor of Mrs. Ritten-
houses recovery. This leaves the mat
ter to go to the jury at the next term
of court.
The attorneys for Mrs. Rlttenhouse
presented decision after decision Of
the Federal and State Courts, showing
that it was a plain case that should
be submitted to the jury, and the at
torneys for the railroad not being able
to produce any authorities to the con-
trary, the court said he vas not in
doubt now as to whether or not the
case should be submitted to the jury,

DIRECT OPINIONS
Of THE DELEGATES
AS Expressed as The Arms Limitation
Conference Enables Them. They
Think, to See Ahead
(AssoclaLted Press1

Washington, Nov. 22-Opinions
have been exchanged among the arms
conference delegates with such unpre-
cedented directness that with the con-
ference only ten days old some of the
most experienced diplomatists here
believe they can see almost with pre-
cision what it will and will not accom-
pIish.
There are indications that an agree
ment on all but details of naval re-
dlction is near alt hand and the readi-
ness of all nations to commit them
selves to general principles regarding
the far east and the outspoken objec-
Ation of Japan To discuss the details
of that situation seem to have crys-
talized quickly the conviction that
adoption of a set of principles, like
the four agreed upon yesterday, will
be the outcome of the far east nego-
tiations.
