STUDENTS SHOULD NOTi E
 HAyEs3AUTOMOBILES
Harvard and Princeton Take Action On the Matter oI Undergraduates
 Owning Autos

In many of the colleges and unlver- sities of the East large number of the students own automobiles and in dulge to a great extent in joy rides. This fact has come to the attention of the faculties of the schools, and in the case of Princeton, action has been taken on the matter by that body. Harvard is now discussing the trouble and in the last Alumni BuI- letin, it says:
 President Hibben of Princeton University has sent letters to the parents and guardians of Princeton students suggesting that the posses sion of automobiles by undergrad uates is undesirable. He quotes the opinion of the senior council to the effect that a privately owned auto mobile is not only an unnecessary ad- junct to an undergraduate success at Princeton, but that on the contrary 1t often proves a positive detriment to the interest of the individual owner
 1t seems to us extremely >credi- table to the senior council at Prince ton that it should hold this opinion The automobile has properly no place in the college life. Our observation is that it induces idleness and is q distracting and unsettling influence. Many of the good people in anl around Boston who supply their un- dergraduate sons with automobiles in order to make their visits home more convenient and frequent are in this particular matter the delude l victim of their affections. Joy rides

about the country, enlivened by what are known as "petting parties" and visits to road houses, which are the way stations of the nimble bootleg ger, are too often the results of pac- ental indulgence. Even when the ownership of the automobile does not incite an undergraduate to such loose diversions, it is likely to do him moro harm than good. His legs and those of his friends are like ly to be insuf- ficiently exercised. Youths lolling upon cushions and burning up the roads are an unedifying spectacle. They represent vividly to the popular mind extravaganza and waste"

FRANKLINS PREPARED
 FOR JOYOUS OCCASION
Fifth Annual Banquet Monday Night To Be Greatest Affair in His
 tory of the Society.

At eight o'clock neXc Monday night, February 20, about ninety couples of jolly young folks will file into the decorated interior of Tabor Hall to enjoy the annual banquet of the Franklin Literary Society.
 This banquet will be the fifth an nual affair of the Franklin sociely and everything indicates that it will be the most successful of all. The attendance will far exceed that of former occasions and visitors are ex- pected from all parts of the state. It is rumored that a large delegation will be present from Galloway Col lege. Not all the visitors, however, will be of the fair sex, as several loyal Franklins of past years will re. turn to take part in the merriment
 No doubt the most distinguished former Franklin and guest who will be present is Dr. J. H. Reynolds. Franklins will also welcome the pre- sence of Miss Mary Young, presi- dent of the Irving Society at Gallo way, who will come as representative of that society. The two other so- cieties of Hendrix will each have representatives, Miss Harkey coming from the Hypatias while Shelton Bland will speak for the Harlans.
 The banquet committee has been working faithfully for month and reports that the preparations are com- plete. It is announced that the ban quet will start promptly at eight o'clock.-Hendrix College Bull Dog.

NAVAL OFFICERS UNPAID
 10 JUNK CHiNA'S NAVY
lBy the Associated Pressl

Peking, Jan. IS. (By MailD Of ficers of the Chinese navy have pro- posed to go the Washington arma- ment conference one better by scrap ping the entire Chinese navy and sell ing it to pay their salaries which are in arrears.
 The Chinese navy consisted in 1920 of six protected cruisers, three dea- troyers, eight torpedo boats, three torpedo gunboats, four gunboats and a considerable number of river gun boats. Nine of these, however, were under control of the southern Chinese government located at Canton.
 The Chinese officers proposed also that all battleships and cruisers should be scrapped. The Chinest press as serts that it is in the interest of their salaries, rather than of the peace of the world that the Chinese naval of ficers proposed this drastic step.
 As in the case of many government departments of China at the present time, salaries for many back months are due the officials and personnel of the navy, and the conference of of ficers was called to consider ways ands means of forcing the ministry of finance to allocate to the ministry of marine sufficient money to make up these deficits.
 Feeling that sale of all naval pro perty and abolition of the navy was the surest way of obtaining the nee essarv funds, the officers decided to put this proposition before the pee pie. Their alternative. in case th's scheme failed to meet with approval, was that officials who had illegally withheld their pay from them be made personally resnonsihle.
