latter lecture is illustrated with the
stereopticon. Those hearing these lee
lures were favored.
A wonderful program of moving pic
lures has been arranged for the sum-

Gus and classic pictures that can be
secured. Each Friday evening at s

PRESIDENT MlLLERAND REFUSES

MET RESIGN
FRENCH PREMIER QUITS
MINISTER'S WITHDRAW WHEN
PROSECUTION OF COMMUNISTS
VOTED DOWN

Paris.-Premier Poincare and his col
leagues in the cabinet submitted their
designations to President Millerand,
but the presiden. declined to accept
them.
The action of the ministers was the
outcome of the refusal of the Senate
to proceed with the trial Of Marcel
Cachin and other Communists charged
republic. NJ. Poincare informed the
correspondents he interpreted the vote
in the Senate as proof of want Of
confidence in the cabinet, which made
against Communist plots.
The ministry remains in office.
President Millerand holding that the
vote of the Senate was purely judicial
and without political effect.
Immediately after the meeting of
the Senate, NJ. Poincare called coun-
Gil of ministers. A brief discussion
took place and then the premier and
his colleagues proceeded to Elysee
palace to place their designations in
the hands of the president.
The Senate, sitting as a high court
In secret session, voted relative to the
trial of Communists on the following
points:
First: Can the court declare itself
competent or incompetent? Second:
Should the question of competency be
referred to committee? Third: Is
the court competent?
The Senate voted in the affirmative
on the first question and in the mega
tive ON the last two questions, the fin
al vote being 14S to 104.
The senate's vote was complete
surprise. While it was known that
several senator's disapproved of the
use of the high court, heretofore re-
served for outstanding figures such
as Gen. Boulanger, Cailiaux and
Malvy, to try politicians of the cali
Der of Cachin and his associates, who,
it was held, could be dealt with more
cheaply and less deliberately by ordi-
nary courts, it was not believed that
a majority of the senators took this
view.
No one was more surprised than
the ministers, who, after the chamber
rose, went home to prepare to attend
a reception at Elysee palace in honor
of Pasteur. When NJ. Colrat learned
of the vote in the senate he hastened
to the foreign office, where NJ. Poin-
care was still working, and told him
that, having, as minister of justice,
urged the trial of Cacfrin before the
high court, the senate's vote amount-
ed to a disapproval of him, and he
was bound to resign.
NJ. Poincare replied in his opinion
the senate's decision involved the
entire cabinet, it having Jointly un-
dertaken to represS communist ac-
tivities. He added that he was about
to summon the ministers to decide
upon the course to adopt. After a
brief discussion the ministers in
dorsed the premier's view, and he
went to Elysee and handed President
Millerand the joint resignation of the
cabinet
President Millerand argued that it
was understood that the senate was
sitting in a judicial capacity, and
that its votes must be considered in
the light of rulings from the bench,
and ought not to be considered as
votes of confidence or censure of the
governments general policy. He
therefore declined to accept the resig-
nations.

Ain't Folks Funnu2

THE only way you can get some people to do
L what you want them to. do is to tell them
you do not want them to do it. Such Is the pervers-
ness of some members of the great human family.
1t is one Of the regular demonstrations in daily
life.
Tell a boy he must not smoke and before you
turn your back he is smoking.
Tell a man he must not drink and before you
get around the corner, from some mysterious
source he has obtained hooch and has it on his hip.
When the people of the United States said thou
shalt not drink, men and women who never drank
before Immediately went at it.
Tell your daughter she must not keep company
with a certain young man and at once no other
young man in the world will do for her. She
Just positively can't enjoy herself witt any other
young man.
Lots Of folks have an uncomfortable curiosity
about the things they are advised not to do, 9TH
ers have but little confidence in the adviser, and
all the rest want to see the folly of doing what
they should notsdo.
So it happens that a great deal of the advice
in this world is wasted on the recipients. 1t is as
we'll to keep it until it is begged from you, and
even then although it be wise and sound, you
never can tell whether it will be acted upon.
II you are thoroughly acquainted with your
subject you cnn sometimes get him to do by in.
direction what you cannot get him to do by direct
means. Even then there is a respectable percen.
tage of failure.

Big Salaries for Big Men.

IN of the radical policy of stimu,
L lating hatred of competence in order that the
great public enterprises may have to be taken
over by the government, the senate recently direct.
ed the Interstate Commerce Commission to ascer.
tain and report what railroad officials received
salaries of $4,000 or more during the current
year. The report has been made and it appears
that there are eight railroad officials who are
paid that amount or more.
Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board of
the Southern Pacific, heads the list with 500, 900,
of which he will pay to the government about one,
half as income tax. While it is the business of the
owners of the roads to determine what they can
afford to pay their financial manager, it will do
no harm to speculate on the subject. If the own.
ers of any great business could find q man so very
competent and experienced as to be able by wise
management, to increase the gross income by one
per cent a year, without increase of outgo, they
would obviously make money by giving him half Of
such increase. 1t is possible that the owners of the
Pacific system think Julius Kruttschnitt that kind
of a man. But if he received one-half of one per
cent of the gross income of the Southern Pacific
system for the current year his salary would be
around 100000, or If he got a quarter of one
per cent it would be $4,000 His measly $780,
900, of which he will be permitted to keep half,
does not sound very big. Men of the calibre of
the heads of our greatest railroad systems are very
scarce. Anyone who can get into the class can get
the salary. The fact is that the total paid for
financial and executive mana gement by any rail
road is an insignificant percentage of income.

squeaky Shoes.

The only way to be certain that
you will not some day find yourself
walking thrugh some stiIl and echo
ing, church or hall in a pair of
sQueaky shoes IL never to 20 any.
where except in a pair of rubber
boots. There is no sure way to cure
a pair of shoes of squeaking except
one-by giving them away to the
man who tends the furnace.
A shoemaker can take a pair of
~JqueakiTE -s0es apart and put them
together again until he is blue In the
face. but If that squeak isn't ready
to go 1t won't go.
But you can give those shoes to
the furnace man and he can sit
down and put them on and rise and
walk away n mako no more noise
than II he were walking In his socks.
Sometimes squeaky shoes are
cured by other means than furnace
men. but not often. and the process
n that case is pretty wearing on the
nerves.
A man once bought a pair OF SIS
shoes. He said he would try high
priced shoes for once in his life and
see II they would last long enough
to be worth It. He put them on one
Sunday morning and went to church
and he was a little late and was
forced to walk to his seat through
the comparative quiet of the minis
ters opening exhortation. And right
It that point those shoes began to
ct out noises that were worse than
L guinea hen going somewhere IN a
hurry, and the minister might as well
ave been talking on his han6s for
all the congregation could hear Of
what he had to say.
Next day that man returned his
5'loes to the place he bought them
nd told h shopkeeper what he
thought about them, which was in.
erestins. The shopkeeper sent them
to the factory and had them fixed.
Next Sunday the man again wore
them to church, and again they were
still as death up to the exact moment
Of his entering the church. when
they took in a couple of deep breaths
as o might say. and began to yell
like human beings in distress. This
time the choir was singing the open.
'nE hymn. and those squawk'ng
shoes half way drowned the singers
out and threw a dozen of them out
OF Key, and the leader had to stop
he singing and start all over aga'n.
AMI in the midst Of such excite.
ment as hadn't been seen in h a
church for forty years the owner
of those shoes squeaked half way
down to his pew, turned around and
squeaked back out to the street
again. and went TO h house OF the
shoe salesman, and walked in with.
out knocking. but lid his knocking
atterward. when the salesman came
IN from the kitchen to find out what
was the matter.
The indignant customer walked
across the room. He turned round
and walked back again. Not a sound.
Thos shoes never made a squeak
They never made another squeak as
'onS as he wore them which was
fourteen months and a half.

Haze Outside Knowledge.

A MAN can not have a too familiar knowledge
n of topics which are not an essential part of his
professional or business equipment. He should
have as large n knowledge as possible of economics,
history, literature and all those branches which
do not enter into his own field of activity, if for no
other reason than to preserve what you might
term his mental health.
Otherwise he is in danger of becoming one.sided
and that is a very unfortunate experience for any
man.
Virtually every engineering school in the country
is now run on this plan, Of giving some knowledge
of subjects Of a general bearing.
A student should not have his liberty in selecting
courses curtailcd too much. he should. have def,
mite purposes in mind when he goes to college and
it is helpful if he is permitted to choose courses
which will assist him in attaining them. He
should have capable direction, however, in max
ing his selections.
A student should not have his liberty in selecting
view OF recent years respecting the choice of
courses and many of them have very flexible routes
to the coveted diploma. The old arbitrary rules
of there it is and pursue it or no diploma, have
largely gone out.
Whether for good or ill in education is uncertain,
yet in a day of specialization it seems the better
course.
