Percy and Other.

He will consider any names but
Percy, Harold and Archibald, is the
announcement Of Benjamin f. &C.
row, Of Middletown, N. y, who is at
a loss to christen his seventh son.
It's curious how some names excite
derision rather generally in America.
Percy has somehow acquired the con-
notation Of "sissiness' Not from
historical association certainly. Hot
spur was a Percy Nor was there
anything soft about Harold. The
Saxon was fighter. though he sue
cumbcd TO the Norman. Archibald
is not common butt Of the testers.
But did Mr.. Gerow forget to mention
Algernon. Clarence, Reginald, Cecil
and Cyril, all names of honorable an
tecedents and all made fun of?
For whatever reason, the names
mentioned have been almost laughed
cut OF fashion and are scarce in the
rising generation. The safe course
for parents sensitive to, ridicule, for
the sake Of their boys. is to stick to
the old standbys. John. Henry,
William, Edward, George, Richard,
Frederick, Robert are apparently
still regarded as masculine. But
generous souls will be found to adj
NIT that a boys a boy for a that,
even if he's a Marmaduke.

The Capture of Enver

Enver' Pasha, it is reported. has
been captured in the Caucasus and
will be turned over to the Angora
government. This picturesque ad-
venturer is one Of the few quad
ruple alliance wal criminals who
were ever tried by competent and
dispassionate tribunal and sentenced
to death. AS devoid Of patriotism,
as Conscientious scruple, he over
played his natural audacity and Gu
pidity, and finally excited the exc
, Grafton even Of his own countrymen
and co-rcligionists.
Enver came to the front in the
Young Turk revolution. He was an
expert pistol shot and had no COM
junction about shooting down polit
cal or other opponents. He posed as
a soldier and claimed a knowledge
Of German military methods. But
he was glaring failure as gen
eral, being badly defeated by the
Bulgarians in the Balkan War and
by the Russians in the great war.
He married a relative Of the Sultan
and after that assumed royal airs.
Enver was in the pay of the Ger
man Embassy at Constantinople, and
as one Of the Young Turk trium-
virate helped to force Turkey into
the Teuton alliance. He was one of
the fomenters Of the Armenian
massacres. He grew rich on war
contracts and is charged with hav-
ing plundered the Ottoman treas
uly. When Turkey was beaten and
the Young Turk government fell he
fled to Berlin. The new ministry
brought him to trial in his absence
and he was found guilty of betray-
ing Turkey to Germany and other
crimes. The gallows has been wait-
ing for him since 1919.
From Germany he passed into
NuSSia ana TOOK service with the
Sovicts He then drifted into the
Caucasus. where he helped the Boil
shevists to overrun the small re-
publics Of that region and sovietize
them. He also operated in Persia
and kurdistan, and at one time was
said to have almost persuaded the
Kurds to make him their king He
next tried to attach himself to the
Nationalist movement in Anatolia,
but was finally elected by Mustapha
Kemal. Recently he led an unsuc-
cessful rising in the Caucasus
against the Angora government.
Few Turkish leaders have ever
done more harm to Turkey than
Enver, and that is saying a good
deal. The Allies suffered enormously
from his criminal propensities. for
without him Turkey might have
been kept out Of the war. But. unlike

SIR: From the president Of Colum-

this challenge to the idea Of national
unlvers'tds, foresecn by WASHINGTON
and acclaimed by the "jnspircd faith

DOCS Dr. Butler suppose that pend
ing legislation in Congress can bv snv
construction upset the Dartmouth Col
lege case? Does he mean to imnlv
that the people of these United Statos
have no public interest in the control
of education IN the United States. Does
')r. Butler construe the will of the
people constitutionally expressed and
constrained always to guarantees oe
fundamental individual securities To hc
the "mortmain" Of government? Is
this the attitude of the great American
institution of learning toward the ad-
mln'stration of law in American IF il
be, then let the educational system Of
the United States be brought into uni
tormlty with the laws of the land and
the higher moral law; let the jcalousics
'of the seats Of learning in America be
levcled by national Intervention.
The crying needs in American uni
versity life are liberty of individual
initiative IN study and research, frcest
opportunity for the student to pursue
his special line Of study wherever the
great masters and teachers are to be
found, and to obtain recognition of
work thus individually conducted and
accomplished free from the crushing
demands Of a crystalized curriculum
and cast-iron university rules. This
the so-called elective system and the
highly bureaucratic teaching organiza-
tion of the modern university pre-
cludes. There is no liberty in the mod

largely upon circulation Of news BY
word Of mouth.
The Philippine people are readily led
by those who understand them. They
make brave soldiers, and under good
leaders make excellent troops Due to
the lack of we'll informed public
opinion they are easily swayed by their
leaders,
AS result of generations of disre-
gard for sanitary measures they are
still rather. Oriental in their attitude
toward disease and questions of public
health and sanitation. This indiffer-
ence is being rapidly corrected
The WOnens Part
The Filipino woman is a strong and
dominating influence in every home
and community; she is modest, loyal
and hard working, and while not much
in evidence she is nevertheless always
to be reckoned with. She is the strong
conservative influence which keeps to-
gether the home, saves the money and
is the foundation of the success of
many families. The establishment Of
large numbers Of women's clubs that
concern themselves with hygiene and
other civic matters is most encourag-
ing sign of the times.
The mass Of the Philippine peop<
are and always have been agriculture
lists or fishermen. They have not in
the past been active in commerce, ex-
cept in small stores principally run by
women. although at the present time
they are taking a constantly increasing
part in the commercial affairs of the
islands
They have however, a long road to
travel before the bulk of the business
done in the islands is in their hands
as most Of the retail stores, the import
and export business, financial institu-
tions and corporations are in the hands
Of Americans and foreigners, especially
Chinese.
In many sections the heads Of the
old families, who were almost feudal
in the extent and method Of control.
still exercise d dominant influence and
are able to impose their will upon the
people. Happily. as education progress
es. this condition is steadily lessening.
The people are mostly Roman Cath
olic, with predominant Monamme dan
groups in the southern islands, and va
rious pagan groups, especially in Lu-
zon Mindanao and Palawan.
They are naturally an orderly and
law-abiding people.
The numerous language and dialects,
the separation Of the people into
groups living on the islands, the lack
of press Of wide circulation, printed
in common language, have delayed
the building up Of common tongue,
with the resulting spirit of solidarity.
Orertaxing ability
They possess marked ability in many
fields of effort, an ability which is not
as apparent as it would have been had
not all the intricacies Of highly or
ganized representative form Of govern
ment been imposed upon them with
too great rapidity.
The Philippine people represent the
mos. advanced experiment in the es-
tablivhmen. of representative govern

Eager TO Learn

They possess active minds their
children are bright and precocious and
learn rapidly. The whole people have
8 consuming thirst for education. and,
as is common among those who have
had little opportunity and much hard
work, there is a leaning toward the
learned profes sions or occupations
which do not involve severe manual
labor, and a tendency to underestimate
the Importance Of agriculture and the
dignity of labor. and to ovele stim te
the standing given by the learned pro-
fcssions
Their support and aid in the build
ing up Of public education are beyond
praise. They have sacrificed much that
their children might be able to 90 to-
school. and the interests Of an entire
family are often subordinated TO send
ing the selected member to a higher
school or university. Schoolhouses are
often constructed by voluntary contri-
buttons of labor money and material.
There is a serious lack Of educated
public opinion, for as yet the Philip
pine public is not a reading public,
and there is lack Of strong. indie
pendent press. although there has been
a great advance in this respect during
recent years, and there are several
outstanding independent papers of
great local influence. The daily total
circulation Of al! island papers is A
little less than 100000, and in the re-
mote PROVINCES people still depend

Where Was De Soto Buried?

The question as to what spot on the
Mississippi river marks the grave of
Hexnando De Soto, the discoverer Of
that stream, is an unsettled one. Ar
kansas City and Helena, Ark, Rose
dale and Greenville, Miss, river towns,
have had a four-cornered controversy
over the question. Citizens Of Helena
contend that the Spanish explorer was
given a watery grave in the river he
discovered at a point just opposite
Helena Arkansas City produces his
torical data tending to show that De
Soto's funeral ceremony was said at a
point opposite that city and close to
the junction of the Mississippi and
White rivers. Rosedale and Greensille
have produced evidence In support OF
their respective claims. So about the
only answer one can give in assurance
that it will not be disputed is that De
Soto's grave is somewhere in the Mis-
sissippi between Memphis, Tenn, and
Greenville, Miss.

Gold Mines in Ancient Graves.

The latest method Of gold mining is
grave robbing. Modern Indians Of
western South America have discov-
cred that buried in the mounds that
contain the skeletons of their ancient
ancestors there also can be found gold
-trinkets. They burrow into these,
claim the trinkets as an inheritance
and melt these priceless relics of Amer
ica's wonderful pre-Coiumbian civiliza-
ton into gold of commerce.
Archeologists Of the bureau Of Amer
lean ethnoIogy of the Smithsonian in
stitution declare that such practices
are destroying forever the early his
tory of South American Indians.
Large images of gold and silver
were made by the prehistoric gold
smiths. The records Of the early
Spanish explorers are filed with de-
scriptions of these golden articles,
some of which were as large as cart
wheels.

Measure Your Figure.

A Brazilian art scholar claims to
have discovered how the old masters
of painting and sculpture worked. He
has taken the pictures and shown, by
drawing lines and angles on them, how
the artists gave their compositions
strictly mathematical foundations.
Ancient Egyptian artists had rule
Of proportions based on the length of
the middle finger, the distance of which
was contained nineteen times in the
length of the whole body.
Greek artists adopted these proper
lions until it was established that the
face must be tenth part and the head
an eighth part of the total height of
the body. The face was divided into
three equal parts-from the roots of
the hair to the root of the nose; from
the root of the nose to it's point, and
frem the end of the nose to the chin.
