 today, but we must prepare for
 needs that will continue to in-
 crease every year."
 Edgar L. Clarkson. of Tuscaloosa, president of the alumni association, followed Mir. Burr, and concluded his brief remarks with the stirring state ment We can put this thing over, and if we will but have the spirit Of the Thin Red Line by the Eternal Gods we'll do ft!'
 The visitors luncheon, which fol- lowed the assembly, was held in the university gymnasium. and was pre- slued over by Dr. P. P. Claxton, pro- Vost of the university.
 pr. Denny was the first speaker, and he opened his remarks with the statement that within the past de- cade, the growth of the university mad been greater than that of any other institution of learning in the entire country. When Dr. Denny came to the university 10 years ago, tnere were 30S students In all of the university.
 We have today" said pr. Denny, as many girls at the university as there were girls and boys 10 years ago. We have almost as many en- gineering students at the university today as there were in the whole university 10 years ago."
 Dr. Denny paid high tribute to tha memory of the late Governor Emmett o'Neal, and said there never lived a better friend of the University of Alabama then Emmett O'Neal. He pointed out that there were friends who urged policy of waiting at this crisis, but that. as in the days when the money for the erection of the dormitory for women waa secured. energetic action was imper- ative.
 Following Dr. Denny's talk. Mrs. Frank B. Clarke, of Birmingham, chairman of the womens state com mittee, told of the plans of the women of the state for helping in the undertaking.
 This was followed by talks by Robert E. Steiner, Jr., of Mont gomery, local chairman; s. E. Cla- baugh. Tuscaloosa chairman; J. F. Stallings, of Birmingham; Lieu tenant-Governor Nathan L. Miller; Governor elect ". W. Brandon; and Sydney J. Bowie, of Birmingham.
 Following the luncheon. there was conference of the campaign work CTS. at which the work was more thoroughly discussed.
 The spirit of the whole day was mingling of the cheerful. and even noisy enthusiasm of college and the quiet confidence of maturer minds. There was everywhere a spirit of earnestness and determination, which found expression in the words of President Denny. paraphrasing the famous ones of Sir Douglas Haig.
 Our back Is to the wall. We ex- pect every man of Alabama to do his part"

WASHINGTON WATCHING NEAR EAST SITUATION
 

Washington, September 16.-The near eastern situation resulting from the disaster at smyrna is being watched with closest interest by gov ernment officials although 1t was em- rhasized that the United States is not involved in the issues beyond car ing for it's citizens and their interests in the war swept zone.
 Official circles emphasize the United States has not taken any part In any of the territorial or boundary settlements in the near east-has not been at war with Turkey, nor Is 1t a party to the conference which re- suited in the signature of the peace treaty at Sevres in August, 1920. The unratified treaty of Sevres provided for the naturalization of the Darda- relies and the Bosphorus and of band of territory on both sides of the straits. The United States has never had any part in the patrol and pro- tection of the neutral zone as 1t is not one of the powers which Is car rying out the armistice with Turkey. or involved In the enforcement cf such of the terms of the treaty of Sevres as the allies may be able to maintain.
 Protect Americans
 The American high commissioner to Turkey, Real Admiral Bristol, has no diplomatic status. His duties in Constantinople are to protect Amer ican interests in general.
 In cases where the mandates have been proposed for various former Turkish territories. the Washington government has maintained that it had the right to be consulted before the mandates were put into effect since they had been secured as the result Of the common victory over Germany and her ally. Turkey.
 The same principles might well ap- ply to Turkey, and the Washington government as participant in the common victory over the Central Powers would be in a position to maintain that its nationals should share in any privileges or rights which the allied powers might en- deavor to secure for their own in Turkey.
 Meanwhile the suffering of Amer jeans in Smyrna, or elsewhere in the territory swept by the Turko-Greek hostilities, Is sufficiently alarming to have drawn many agencies here into the effort to furnish emergency re- lief.
 American Colony Large
 A summary of official information indicates that the American colony In Smyrna alone consisted of 200 or more persons, of whom from 50 to 60 were native born Americans doing business in that city. The latter were employed largely in the offices of American companies doing business in smyrna.
 The official advices indicate as to the general condition of refugees of all nationalities in and about es-m. au sons are destitute and without food or shelter on the coast towns of western Asia Minor. In the village of Mudania. a place of only few hundred inhabitants, 10000 refugees from Brusa are assembled.

From Popular Mechanics Magazine.

From Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 To preserve sandstone against de- cay. two methods have been sug- gested that have proved effective. If ia piece of rotton sandstone is treated with certain chemical compounds of alcohol and silica and then exposed to moist air. the silica is deposited and forms a protective cement coat ing. Lime wash has also been found very effective for the same purpose.

SANITARY HENS NEST

The old-fashioned dirty hen nest seems to be doomed to extinction by a metal nest, shown in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, which can be scalded periodically. A false bottom is another feature of the nest. It consists of a metal frame with holes, through which the eggs roll out of sight. This prevents the hen from sitting on the eggs, eating them. or getting them dirty. t

WASHING MOTOR BUS

Because the patrons of motor busses insist that these conveyances be kept spic and span, the washing problem is one that canont be ig- nored. As means of speeding up this task, one of the London motor bus companies has built shower bath. shown in the Popular Mechan- ics Magazine, by means of which a bus can be washed very quickly. Spray pipes on either side direct streams of water against the bus, while a pipe above 1t can be lowered to wash the top.

IF N0sE OF CLEOPATRA HAD
 BEEN SHORTER

From "On the Length of Cleopatra's Nose" by Brander Matthews. in p ea Scribners.
 One of the best known and most frequently quoted of the Thoughts" of Pascal calls attention to the way in which a little thing may have great consequences. He who wants a full understanding of the vanity Of man has only to consider the causes and the effects of love. The cause Ia I know not what; and the consequences of 1t are frightfuL This T know not what so trivial that it can scarcely be recognized, moves all mankind-kings and arm ies and the entire social organiza- tion. The nose of Cleopatra-if 1t had been shorter, the history of the world would have been changed" Although Cleopatra was the Ser pent of the Old Nile, she was not an Egyptian but a Greek; she was hyphenated queen--which is what queens usually are Even If Mahaffy was right In holding that the Greeks were not really so superior to us in physical beauty as the surviving statues might lead us to believe. she may have had more than her share of the good looks which must have been not uncommon among the Hell lenic peoples. As she was Greek she probably did not have a Roman nose: indeed, her nose may have been 'tip-tilted like the petal of a flower" which would not have di- unfinished her fascination. But what ever the shape or the size of her nose, Pascal is Justified In believing that if 1t had been unduly short she world probably not have descended the corridors of time as the heroine of the most disastrous of historic love stories. She might then have floated down the river in her gilt tering barge without finding Mark Antony at her feet when she stepped ashore.
 If Mark Antony had escaped the coils of the Egyptian serpent. he might not have lost the battle of Ac- tium, and if he had vanquished the young Octavius, Mark Antony might have been the founder of the Roman Ernnfre

HEAD PROTECTOR FOR AUTOS
 In driving over a rough road in an

automobile with the top up. the re- bound of the springs is sometimes sufficient to bump the head of an occupant of the car against the hard top bow with force enough to cause severe injury. To guard against this danger. new invention, shown in
 the Popular Mechanics Magazine. provides an inflated rubber tube that is strapped to the bow clear across the top of the car.

 The process of welding silver plates on both sides of a copper sheet took the name of sheffield Plate" from the English town.
