Foot" Wallace was in command of
a detachment of scouts sent out to
guard the mail from Fort Davis to
FL Paso. Chief Clinton, then 20
years old, was a member of the de-
tachment. AS they neared the wa
ter, hole, they noted large party of
Indians in the. distance, running their
horses and trying to arrive first at
the oasis. big Foot" Wallace and
his men arrived, however, in time to
prepare for an attack. They had not
long to wait. Indians 100 strong
came upon them, whooping and yell
ing. They circled around the whites
and poured vigorous. but ineffec-
tual, fire upon them. The scouts
fire was reserved until the Indians
were at close range, when the rifles
and six-shooters spoke with deadly
effect. The Indians were compelled
to fall back, but held the scouts in
a state of siege during the night.

of modern civilization.
Chapters from the life of Chief
Clinton, as he was called here, are
filled with adventure and read like
paragraphs from the history of Buff
falo Bill, big Foot" Wallace and
other noted plains men who formed
the advance guard of civilization.
Like them, he participated in many
battles with Indians, and had numer-
Gus hairbreadth escapes from being
scalped. Among the most noted bat
ties in which he took part were those
of the Adobe Walls on the Canadian
river in Hutchinson county in 1874;

The Commanches made another
assault at daybreak next morning,
when Sam Gibbs was killed and
George Clark and John Clinton were
wounded. The fight lasted through
out the day. A storm came up dur

Foreign Training for College Students

great war the vital Importance of
the foreign part of our national
trade has emphasized the necessity Of
having trained men and college
trained men, to handle our foreign
affairs. The Delaware Plan is in
tended to provide this foreign train
ing, and will do it within the four
years that the, average man can de-
vote to college education.
According to the present program
the students will arrive in France
about August l, 1923, under the per-
sonal direction of Mr.. Kirkbride.
They will first be given three hours
a day of intensive drill under a
French tutor for the entire month of
August, to give them the necessary
facility with the French language
Next they will be given two months
of preparatory work at the Alliance
Franchise during September and Oc-
tober, to get them accustomed to fol-
lowing the courses and lectures as
conducted in French. Then they will
enter the University of Paris at the
beginning of the term November 1,
and will continue there until the
close of the French school year, enc
ing June 80, 1924. They will take as
nearly as possible the same subjects
that they would have taken in their
junior year at Delaware, except, of
course, that everything will be done
in French instead of English. Such
subjects as international law, eco
nomics, psychology, history and lit
erature will be open to them
To Live Among French.
During their stay in Paris the stu
dents will room and board in pri-
vate homes, only one student being
assigned to a family. This is to re-
move the temptation to use English
and to give as much practice as pos
sibie in speaking French. 1t will
also give them an opportunity to get
acquainted with some of the best
French people.
The cost Of this year off foreign
training will be extremely reasona-

bic. 1t is hoped to secure ocean
transportation both ways for the
boys without charge to them, which
removes one of the largest items.
Living in France, though higher than
before the war, is still not so high
as in America, considering the pres
ent rate of exchange. The student
will be left free to set his own scale
of expenditures, but it is estimated
that the cost cs the entire twelve
months abroad will not exceed by
more than 20 per cent the cost of
nine-month term at Delaware on an
equivalent standard of living.
Mr.. Kirkbride will spend the en-
tire coming year in France as the
representative of the University of
Delaware, making a study of the
courses and subjects available, locat-
ing suitable boarding places, getting
exact figures on living costs, and
establishing relations with the
French university authorities.
Plan to Extend System.
The project has been informally
presented at some other colleges,
with the idea of transferring candi-
dates for the foreign study to Della
ware for the junior year abroad and
the senior year. It has been re-
ceived with great enthusiasm, and
has proved already to be powerful
stimulus to the interest in French
and other foreign languages.
If the first trip proves to be the
success that its supporters expect it
to be, it is planned to invite other
institutions to join with the UniVer-
sity of Delaware in maintaining sim
liar foreign study groups not only in
France, but in Spain, Italy, Ger
many, Russia or any other country
for which there is a insufficient de-
mand. The experiment is being
watched with interest by number
of Government officials and business
men, who expect it to develop into a
nationwide program for foreign
training.
That there are many advantages
in this plan of Professor Kirkbride
would be apparent to any one. Some
of the critics of the plan have urged
the point that the Undergraduate
might be subject to more tempta-
tons than at home. This phase of
the matter has been duly considered
by Professor Kirkbride and those
who have studied the plan. Student
government at home? Why not stin
further call upon the students self
reliance and self-respect?
The very fact that they have
greater opportunities abroad viii
cause them to feel that they owe
more to the college that has sent
them than if they had remained at
home following the regular routine

No, that does not mean any
Of the slap-stick, pie-throw-
ing or such like movies, nor does it
mean those mild pictures of married
life which arouse delicate risibilities.
No, it means those pictures in every
ones life which are bound to be ex-
hibited at some time or another and
cause untold amusement.
You, the innocent victim of the
picture, may see nothing funny about
1t at all. In fact, you may remark to
yourself that it really is a darn
good likeness"
There are some people who will
never permit photograph to be
taken. What joykillers they are!
For everybody likes to have photo
graph or two of friends and rela-
tons, though they always may say
about 1t: why, it doesn't look
thing like her."
Now there is John Jones. Just
fash a camera at picnic and John
makes himself as scarce as a bob
tailed rabbit. Why? Well, it is
long story of devoted mother and
baby book. His mother kept de-

from the first smile, the first laugh,
the first tooth, until John was old
enough to "feel it in his bones" that
1t was going to be camera day, and
with this prospect in view, he gem
orally made himself scarce.
1t would not have been so bad if
Johns mother had kept said photo
graphs under lock and key; but no,
she made a regular Roman holiday
out OF them, showed them to the
neighbors, the sewing circle, any
body, in fact, that she could entice
into her parlor. Poor John through
long years had listened to such COM
ments as why he always tries to
put his big toe into his mouth,
doesn't he?"
HE looks just like a girl here"
Gracious, aren't you glad you
have SO many pictures of him before
his curls were all cut OFF,"
Alas, the precious book mysteri-
ously disappeared during a moving

only solution, then, for the girl who
would keep her age at the minimum
amount.

have tried him or her with your lat

TVHE University of Delaware is
to try out a new foreign
study plan, developed by
President Walter Hullihen and
Professor Raymond w. Kirkbride, of
the Modern Language Department,
under which students interested in
foreign affairs may spend the junior
year in a foreign university. The
plan is to be put into effect in 1928
1924, and the first foreign country to
be considered is France.
AS soon as the system is in opera
ton any student of the University Of
Delaware who is interested in the
study of foreign languages, foreign
trade, the consular service or other
international affairs, or merely in the
advantages Of foreign travel, will be
able to spend his junior year in
foreign university. under the super
vision of a representative of the Del
aware faculty and registered as d
Delaware student. The work done
abroad will receive credit at the uni
versity here, and the student will re-
turn to Delaware to finish his senior
year and graduate with his class.
A Decided Innovations
The project is an innovation in the
educational world Not that Amer
leans have not studied in foreign uni
versities before. But those that have
done so were in most cases scholars
doing graduate or research work,
and almost none of them ever get
into business. The Delaware Plan
is for undergraduates. The great
mass of American college men never

business Immediately after the usual
four years in colleges. Since the
