A decidedly novel use of steam hammer Is to make 1t pull out of the ground steel sheet piling that 1t had previously driven into 1t. This was done recently with some piling that had become so tightly frozen in that 1t could not be pulled out by the derrick alone. The steam hammer. according to Popular Mechanics Magazine. was hung upside down from the derrick and around the hammer four strands of three quar- ter-inch cable were slung so that they carried below the hammer a clovis that was bolted through the eye of the piling.

OHAIRMAN FORDNEY, of the WAYS and Means Committee of the
4 United States House of Representatives, exhibited the knives photo
- graphed above to Congress. One cost nine cents in Germany, the
other Ave dollars in Chicago.
A few days later a Chicago importing firm stated that the knife No 2
cost twenty-five times nine cents and that it vas bought in America. The
Chicago firm bought the knife, which was manufactured by j A. Ienckcls
in Germany, from he American agent of that firm The Chicago store
paid $40 for it according to their w testimony giving the Chicago store
a profit of more than 100 per cent, but the German importer in New York
who bought it for nine sixteenth cents in Germany and sold it for S24O
Cleaned up" $3.50 on the deal. The consumer, according to Mr.. Fordney,
paid the bill.
Testimony before the Us. Senate and House of Representatives
shows that Paris hats (which cost SO in American money in France, are
selling here as high as S225O; fine steeLcut buttons, costing "a cents per
dozen, are selling for $500 per dozen. This is possible because the present
tariff law provides that imported articles shall be subject to duty on their
that the government is losing millions of dollars per day in revenue and
the public is paying profteering prices.
Chairman Fordney declares that the remedy is in the tariff bill now
before the U. S Senate. II provides that imported articles must pay duty
o. their value in this country, This is called american valuation" Sup
porers of this bill say that importers and mail order houses are spending
or than N million dollars to defeat it because it mean death to their
huge profits.
These adherents of American valuation also point out that never has
such a fight been waged in Washington against a bill in Congress as is
being waged against the Fordney tariff bill

CAMPUsoLoGY GOSSIP BY JEANNE.

Anne dearest-ever:
Your blackhand note threatening to
exterminate me if 1 didn't write to
you, has had the desired effect,-I
now take my Corona in hand-and
hasten to send you an episte1ette
which will satisfy your curiosity as to
how I'm spending my time 1t isn't
at all hard to tell you that, my dear.
I'm living-just simply living. Nat
urally, that is the pleasantest thing in
the world to do. You prophesied that
my exhuberantly joyful attitude toward
college life wouldn't last over the first
ten weeks; 1 now take pleasure in as
surfing you that I am more than ever
convinced that am living the best of
my days right now.
I'm studying like the dickens so
I'll make grades of which my family
will be proud. Every night of the
week except Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, 1 spend the hours between
seven-thirty and ten-thirty in an at
mosphereN of French, trig, history and
botany. But on the nights mentioned
as exceptions, 1 revel to my hearts
content. There's always a frat party,
Varsity dance or an All-School party.
On Sunday night the students haunt
is the Central Congregational church,
where one listens to a sermonette and
then enjoys a good movie.
Across the street there is a fra
ternity house-and the young pledges
are busily raking leaves and doing
general odd jobs. Being a frat pledge
isn't all one sweet song. The boys
have to take turns at cleaning
house, they run the vacuum cleaner,
dust, and scrub the floor.
The girls have decided that maybe
in the future some of these pledges
will make excellent wives-as a re-
suit of their early training. One
poor pledge suffered greatly the other
night. He had been a bit too Jockey"
to some of his superiors. and as a
slight reminder that he must be more
considerate the actives decreed that
he should array himself in nothing
more than a bath towel and go down
to the College Inn for a coke. He did
it-and since he has been model OF
courtesy to his elders.
Everyone is locking forward to the
night of November 20, when the
Road" at the Grand theater. The play
is a clever comedy-and the people
who have the leading parts are stars
of great fame out Washburn way
Halloween is past-but we laugh at
the memory of one event of that
spooky night. On the morning after
it the students who went to first hour
classes in the chapel building were
greeted by a bawling COW. Some one
had locked it up-and the poor animal
had spent hectic night prancing
about, upsetting tables and desks and
creating general havoc. The irate au-
thorities haven't found out who did
the dirty deed.
Now that Christmas is coming, there
is a general money making fever seiz-
