RUSSIA OFFERS
NO SECURITIES
Thompson Says 1t Is No Place
for Americans to
Invest.
(Copyright, 1927

BERLIN, Nov. 30.-"Unless Americans
want to invest in Russia for charitable
purposes, not expecting TO get any re-
turns for their money, they had better
stay away from Russia as it is today"
This is the verdict returned by William
o. Thompson of Chicago, president of
the American Cotton Oil Co. and the N.
X. Fairbank Co., and until recently,
counsel for the Russo-Americah Corpor-
alton which embraces the interest Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers Of Am
erica, headed by Sidney Hillman of New
York and Chicago. Mr.. Thompson said
he resigned the latter job because he
refused to lend his name to an enter
prise which offers no sound security to
its investors.
Mr.. Thompson, who is in Berlin, has
nine reasons for warning the United
States and American private interests
against trading with Russia. These rea.
sons, he explained, we're:
l. The inefficiency Of the trust and
syndicate system. The best illustration
of this inefficiency is that, whereas the
average textile worker earns only $50
million rubles a month, a suit of clothes
costs from $50 million to 600 million
rubles.
2. Lack Of control of the industry by
American and other foreign interests
which really built up the Russian indus
tries before the war.
3. The military monopoly controls 20
per cent of the textile productions, which
are therefore out of the question for ex.
port trade.
a. The serious shortage Of cotton and
wool.
S. The one sided conditions Of the
contract between the Russo-American
Corporation under which the Soviets can
cripple foreign industrial enterprise if
it displaces them. -
6. The unstable condition of Russian
money which may drop so per cent in
value in a night and therefore cannot
be considered a medium Of trade =
Z. The unsettled condition of taxation
which leaves investors completely at sea
as to whether they might pay l or 1000
per cent of their capital in taxes.
8. The uncertainty as TO what factories
are considered soviet property and what
may be regarded as the private property
of their non-Russian owners even after
concessions have been granted.
9.-The absence Of definite regulations
governing transactions between foreign
business enterprises in Russia and the
outside world"
80 help Russia would require an in.
ves,ment of at least OOO,OO0OOO," said
Thompson.

St. Mary's Lake Once Famous as
a Campus Resort for Students

To the north of the lake just back Of
where Jay II. Neff Hall now stands was
spring, that was known for its min.
eral properties. Over this was a sum.
mer house with benches all around it.
The grounds in front Of the spring made
up a natural park. These grounds were
at one time quite popular resort but
fell into disfavor and finally were little
used.
MANY stories are told about this lake.
1t was frequently used to duck wayward
freshmen in during the fall months. Dur.
ing the winter mos, Of the University stu.
dents used it for skating and in the sum-
mer four boats graced its waters. Every
Halloween and every April Fools day
the University cannon was dragged TO
the middle of the lake and it always
took force Of cadets TO get it out.
At one time it was used by an irate
young lady to chastise her sweetheart for
paying attention to another girl. She
asked him to take a ride with her, and,
as he stepped down from the bridge,
she moved the boat and he tumbled into
the water
Two beautiful swans, belonging TO
President Read, once graced the lake.
After the fire, appropriations were
made for new buildings, and one of them
was for a Law Building. The site chosen
for it was that Of the lake, and so the
ground was graded and drained and the
little lake disappeared. -

A pretty little lake once adorned the
east side Of Francis Quadrangle accord
ing to the older residents Of Columbia
The lake was known as St. Marys lake
and was named in honor Of Miss Mary
Read, the daughter Of the president oi
the University at that time.
The lake was one resort Of the Uni
versiiy campus at that time and cele'
brations Of all kinds took place there. II
was located where the present Law Build
ing and part Of the Chemistry Building
now stand.
The campus at that time was rough
and composed Of numerous little hill
locks. About 1872 in the midst Of these
the little lake was built. A gravel bot.
tom was provided for the lake, and fish
Of varied hues swan in its waters. Gold
and silver fish were especially plentiful.
In the middle Of the lake was a little
island which ran lengthwise. and on
either side was peninsula, one from the
north and one from the south. A rustic
bridge connected these peninsulas, and
a path ran directly from the presidents
home to the rustic bridge. The west side
Of the lake bordered the walk that led
from the main building to the north en-
trance Of the campus.
Willows grew in abundance around
the lake, and on one side was a large
bed Of flags. Water lilies lay on the
surface of the water at the north and
south ends Of the lake.

NEW CALIPH is INSTALLED
Caliphate Carries Spiritual Power
Only.
By CONSTANTINE BROwN
Copyright 1922

Copyright 1927
CoNsrANTINoPLE, Nov. 30-In the
ancient palace of Kapou and in the
presence of a small gathering Of Off
cials, foreign correspondents and moving
picture men Abdul Medjid was en-.
throned Friday morning as Caliph of all
Musselmans. The former Crown Prince
sat on a golden throne with his wife and
the imperial family behind him and Re-
fet Pasha. representative Of the Nation
alist Assembly, at his right.
After a short prayer, the green mantle
Of the prophet was handed to Medjid,
who thus was invested with the supreme
command over the Mohammedan world,
This command, however, is only spiri-
tual because he did not receive the
sword Of Mohammed, the conqueror,
which is ordinarily handed to the Ca
liphs as the emblem Of temporal power.
The only sign that the outside world
was interested in the installation Of the
first crownless Caliph was the haste with
which the correspondents took pictures
Of the ceremony and the eagerness of the
movie men not to lose any of the details.
The actual ceremony took place in the
Faith Mosque where no unbelievers are
ever allowed to enter. The streets from
the palace to the Mosque were thinly
lined with Boy Scouts, few soldiers in
field uniforms and police. Except for
the regulation cheers Of the troops few
applauded the new Caliph.
The reason for the chilly reception
was not that the Caliph is unpopular.
On the contrary his high intellectual
qualities commanded the respect Of all
sections of the population and had he
been Crown Sultan There would have
been great outburst of JOY" to use
the words of high official. The Turk
ish people have always been used to the
Caliph having temporal power and the
ability to protect. They are painfully
surprised to be told that henceforth the
Caliph will be able to give them only
his blessings and that it is their duty to
elect ordinary men and invest them with
executive power for a certain period.

"Please bring me another glass Of
water, | don't want ice water" an ex-
ample Of the proverbial crank told a
waitress in a Columbia restaurant the
other day.
A glass Of cool, hydrant water was
brought to her.
''Oh, but | don't want hot wafer" the
customer called disdainfully after the
waitress. For goodness sakes. bring
me ice water without any ice," she fin
ished as though the thought of serving
a tumbler containing anything but ice
water without any ice was an unheard-of
blunder.
People have lots Of peculiar ideas, !"
the water carrier said to one of her com
panions. IF you have sense of humor
and your feet aren't tired, you can find
them amusing"
The chef in the kitchen does not know
much about the idiosyncrasies of his pa
irons except that the order once is rare"
and the next time well done" or, in
the code of the kitchen. perhaps it is
two in the water hard,' or two in the
water very soft" He knows, too, that
sometimes if his instructions are not
carried out implicitly the order comes
back, but it is the table servers who
bear the brunt Of individual eccentrici-
ties.

but it is there just the same and the
outcome is not as bright for European
