/ bia people attend some sort OF public

attended by Columbians are estimated
as follows: Movies. 5000 weekly; dan
ces. $50 couples weekly: billiard rooms.
$500 weekly; musicals and concerts, 500
weekly.

iertainments.

;ertainmen, of those who enjoy lectures
and concerts. There is the Phi Mu Al
pha and other organizations in the city

The Home of tne Soul

In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that a man
is never so completely used up as
when his tomach is out of order. For

there is nothing quite so prompt and

being rushed by all the highway de-
partments on the preparation Of
maps of the proposed system. but
naturally such IN important matter
will take some little time and con-
sideration. The government author
ities will insist that important thru
routes meet at state lines which will
require conferences between author
tiles Of different states.
In order that work will not be de-
layed pending the approval OF each
state system the Secretary OF Agrt-
