WORKING HIS WAY THROUGH

Years ago the chap. who
worked his way through college
was considered a sort OF seven
DAYS wonder. The fact that he
shook down furnace at night to
pay for his room rent gave him
i'm the eyes of the world stand
ing similar to that which a presi-
DENTAL candidate used to acquire
by having been born in a log
cabin. If in addition to his
evenings performance at the tur-
mace he waited on table at a stu
dent boarding house for his
meals. it was admitted that some
day this young man would get
into the presidents cabinet. That.
however, was before table-wait-
ing and demonstrating became
so popular among college stu
dents as these honest and lowly
cndeavors are today.
The roint is that if any young
man or woman considers college
education of sufficient value to be
willing to put in anywhere from
one to four hours day at re-
nunerative work to help pay col
lege expenses, there isn't the least
doubt in the world that such
student will appreciate his col
lege work. For it is as true OF
education as of anything else in
in the world that we value most
whatever has taken us some little
effort TO acquire.

LAST GRANDE DAME OF
18TH CENTURY DIES

Princess Pauline Metternich, for
decades known as the foremost lady
OF the Austrian aristocracy. died a
short time ago in her eighty-fiith
year. She was the daughter-in-law OF
the famous Austrian statesman
Prince Clemens Metiernich, Chaneel-
Tor of the Austrian Empire in the
time of Napoleon L.. whose son. Prince
Richard Metternich. acted as Austria $
Ambassador at the Court OF Napoleon
III. She was justly regarded as the
last grande dame of the nineteenth
century
Princess Pauline was OF Hungarian
descent. her father being the we'll
known Count Moriz Sander, most
daring horseman, who for wager
galloped UP the steep and long stair
way leading from the shore OF the
Danube at Budapest TO the Fortress o.
Ofen, a feat never accomplished be
fore or since.
In Paris people were at first not too
eager to welcome the son of the most
formidable enemy of Napoleon /. rs
Austrias representative, but soon the
most intimate friendship grew up re-
tween the imperial couple and Prince
and Princess Mettornich. The Prin-
cess became the moving spirit at the
court of the last Napoleon on account
of her striking wit. her originality
her benevolenco, and her talents as q
musician.
AT the time when Richard Wagner
was totally unknown in France she
induced the Emperor to order Tam

Opera House A fashionable audience

PERIL IN SAFETY

1t seems like 4 paradox, but the
investigators OF the federal bu-
reau of public roads say their rec
ords OF accidents show that
straightaway stretches that have
always been regarded as safe are
the scene of most motoring accr-
dents.
The explanation offered lies in
the tendency to step on the gas
when niece of clear and good
road looms up. Around sharp
curves, on steep grades, at grade
crossings, where danger is nat
urally feared, the average driver
will be careful. but nearly all will
FL victim TO the lure OF a
straightaway stretch, which by
its inviting sense of security
prompts him to take a chance.
Viewed in that light the reas-
oning seems sound. but unless the
records of the federal bureau diff
fer greatly from the records re-
ported in the press, the facts
seem against it. Most OF the ac-
cidents reported have occurred on
just such danger spots as men
