nR. UIBBEN'S appointment Of com.
~ m!ttce to. sift out the applicants for od-
mission to Princeton University In order to
keep the number of students within 1000
calls attention 10 the shortage OF accommo-
dations in the colleges for young men seek
ing higher education. Nearly every college
tn the country is overcrowded. Many OF
them have decided to fix an arbitrary limit
on the number admitted each year, because
they have not financial resources sufficient
20 hire professors enough to teach all who
apply. Nor are the classrooms big enough
for the growing classes.
This is new condition, though some Of
the fashionable colleges for girls have had
waiting lists for years. When a girl was
born application has been made for entrance
ip the freshman class eighteen years In the
future, because otherwise there was no
chance for her 20 gain admission. But It
has only been within the last two or three
years that the pressure on the mems coll
leges has become 80 great as to force
limitation In the number of students.
This limitation will have to continue un-
les the endowments are largely increased
Its Immediate effect will not be serious, for
most of the colleges have adopted some such
rule ns that which has been made to guide
tbs committee ON admissions TO Princeton.

A NOVEL HOUSING PLAN

CAMCEL CNTERMYER'S latest nlon
- for relieving the housing shortage in
New York is through co operation between
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Compapy
and the Thompson Starrett Construction
Company in the building Of 1900 apartment
houses with accommodations for AZ 900
families. The capital will be provided by
the insurance company and the construction
company will do the work at cost
Before the insurance company can Use
It's capital in this way an amendment of the
State Insurance Law will be necessary.
This amendment already has been drafted.
There seems to be general approval of the
undertaking. The labor unions have con-
sented to it, and their members have offered
10 accept 81 day less for work on the
proposed buildings than they demand for
work on other structures, and a manufac-
turer has offered TO supply all the paint
needed without any profit, and a manufac-
turer Of window glass will provide the glass
at cost, plus whatever profit the men in
charge Of the undertaking regard as fair.
Such an arrangement as thy could not be
carried through In ordinary times But the
housing crisis Is so acute that there is an
apparent disposition to take unusual means
TO relieve IT,

THE REcRUDEscENcE OF COX

TAMES NJ. COX, at the Jackson Day
J dinner of Ohio Democrats in Dayton,
broke the silence that he has maintained
since the day after the election of 1920 by
resumng the campaign oratory which he
then temporarily abandoned.
Mr.. Cox was a disappointment as a presi-
Dental candidate. The substance aud tenn
per OF his speeches resemblsd those OF a
candidate for seat on the Board Of Alder
men Of small city. As a sage Of his party
n party rich in Sagcs who have unsuccess-
fully run for high ofiice-he is also d disap-
pontment.
HIS jackson Day speech did not once rise
10 the level of statesmauship. The United
States, according to him, Is responsible for
the unsatisfactory conditions that prevail in
the world. He said that If II had Joined
with the European countries in the League
Of Nations much OF the present distress
would have been avoided. The Republican
Party stood in the way and Senator Lodge
fixed the policy Of the party. Therefore, on
the STOPPING rnd aging shoulders Of Lodge
must be placed the blame for everything.
No one would be surprised If a defeated
candidate for a petty Office should talk in
this way but 1t Is discouraging when man
regarded by his party as big enough TO bs

Neither Mr.. Lodge, nor Mr.. Wilson, nor
Mr.. Lloyd George, nor NJ. Clemenceau,
nor NJ. BRAND, nor NJ. Poincare Is re-
sponsibe for the economic abyss in which all
the nations are Houudering. The most per-
feet plan conceivable by the human intellect
might have been devised and put into opera

among the nations and yet the economic
troubles would have persisted. They cannot

A READY.MADE FAIR SETTING

eTyHE vision OF the handsome permanent
i buildings which could adorn the Phila-
delphia Worlds Fair should the Parkway
site be chosen is BY no means fanciful.
Plans for a magnificent group of struc-
lures are already under way, and in two IN
stapces-.-those of the Art Museum and the
Free Library-actual work is proceeding at
q rapid pace. The Victory Convention Hall
is no dream, but q project indorsed by voters
Of tbe last election. The foundations Of the
Municipal Court Building are grounded IN
certainty.
ELI Kirk Price, Of the Fairmount Park
Commission, contributes 10 all this authentic
program the suggestion that the Academy Of
the Fine Arts and the Pennsylvania School
Of Industrial Arts should begin as soon as
possible to erect their proposed new quarters
on the Parkway.
OF practical value is his proposal that
Che walls and floors of these buildings could
b constructed by tho State as part of its
contribution to the exposition. In that case
the interiors could be used for temporary
exhibitions during the fair.
II is doubtful If any exposition ever dis
cussed was so fortunate IN auxiliary udvan-
tages as the Sesqui- Centennial IN its oppor-
tunity TO utilize a perfectly well defined
scheme OF municipal development. The
Parkway Fairmount location IL virtually
ready made site.
Governor Sproul has just invisorated the
fair project by the appointment Of a State
cemmission 10 cooperate with the Sesqui-
Centennial Association. The majority Of the
members arc non Philadelphisn. There can
b small doubt that the merits Of the Park
way setting will strongly appeal to outsiders
hsed from local preiudices, parochial obses-
mons and inherited inhibitioDs

SNoWBALLS BY MACHINERY

MJHETHER the American Society OF Me-
w chan!cal Engineers can bring about the
adoption OF Thomas A. Edison's snow
briquetting machine by the street cleaning
department of New York Is an open ques-
ton. Nothing that could happen In winter
would delight the small boys more.
Most Of US have seen the briquettes made
OF coal dust. They are about the size and
shape OF a goose egg, and fit easily in the
hand, Now II Mr.. Edlson's machine, in
tended 10 facilitate the cleaning of the snow
from the streets by compressIng II into hard
pellets to be piled Up ut the curb, makes
br!quettes like those OF coal dust, it will
become an ammunition factory for SNOWFALL
battles the like Of which the oldest inhabi-
tant never saw.
1t Is now necessary TO make oil the snow
balls by hand, q slow and tiresome process
when large store OF ammunition Is TO be
provided The ammunition is soon ex-
hausted by one or another Of the contending
armies and peace has to be made or an armi-
stice declared until new supplies can be
obtained. But with two OF the Edison ma
chimes block apart, and each turning out
snowballs at the rate of a thousand a
minute, the widest ambition Of the greatest
youthful general would be more than sat
isfied

A REAL DRY ENFORCER

NIITH the appointment of the Rev. John
wv 7. Davis, of Blairsville, to succeed
William c. Mcconnell as Federal Prohibi-
ton Director in this State, the advocates
Of the present dry laws have all that they
can ask for. The advantages of the situa-
ton are now on their side.
If, with the aid OF the increasingly
powerful enforcement organization which
Mr.. Haynes has been building up in Penn
syivanis, Mr.. Davis cannot restrict the flow
Of whisky in his territory and check at least
the open and fragrant violations Of the Vol
stead law, the people who demand revision
Of the dry laws will surely try to make
ammunition out Of the circumstances of
his failure.
This is one of the reasons why tho ap-
pointment Is u good one. The law deserves
Q fair and honest trial. But 1t will be
impossible TO appraise It's true value SO long
ss men opposed to the principle it represents
are appointed to direct its enforcement
