California Students
Sip Coffee to Keep
Their Blinkers Open

BERKELEY. CAL, Feb. 3.
THE pie and cake eaters have
been outdone. They have
been succeeded by the coffee
drinkers, at least at the Univer-
sity of California.
Students who have been unable
to keep awake rely on the good
old-fashioned morning drink to
keep their Drinkers open.
This fact is demonstrated by
statistics on coffee consumption at
the university, disclosed today.
For the semester just closing
the students have consumed an
average of sixty.one gallons Of
Java" each day.
AS there are twenty cups to a
gallon, it will be seen that the
student body has been consuming
1900 cups of the stimulating po-
ton daily.
Now that the students can no
longer refer to their books and
papers, and are thrown on their
own resources in examining for
the final Tex there has been a
notable increase in the consump-
ton of coffee at the student cafe
terra and at the soda fountains.
The sales records of these two
institutions show that the coffee
consumption has averaged ninety
three gallons, or 1900 cups, daily.

Conversion Process
i'm Industry Urged for
u S. and Germany
BERLIN, Feb. 3.

"a MEXICAN importers and
German manufacturers can
get together only on one basis
today, and that is by employing
the socalled Conversion Process
in other words, by exchanging
raw material for the finished
article"
This is the opinion of Rudolf
Hoffman, an American business
man, who has been in Germany
for the past year trying to estab-
lish connections between various
American firms and the German
producers.
He will endeavor to impress this
point Of view upon American CAPT.
talists and importers by citing the
case of a big firm of American
packers which put this ''Conver-
sion Process" into successful opera
ton about a year ago. Large ship
ments of raw hides were sent over
to the German tanneries and re-
turned in the shape of the finished
leather, or in some cases as fin
ished leather articles.
Could an arrangement of this
sort be reached, the German banks
would become the trustees of the
American interests, q RESPONSE
bility, it is thought, they would be
willing to accept, as they would
thereby be relieved Of the strain
of granting credits to German
manufacturing firms.

YOUNG VIRGTNIAN ILLUSTRATOR FINDS THAT ART PAYS
Rise of Walter Biggs
from Farm to Fame
Shows How Talent
Will Come to Front.
By CHARLOTTE M. TEMPLE.

By CHARLOTTE M. TEMPLE.
0ALEM, Va. may be Justly
proud Of her young artist,
~ Mr.. Walter Biggs. who has
recently closed his summer studio
and returned to his New York
apartment in The Duplex, on
Sixty-seventh street. Though still
only in his early thirties, Biggs
has achieved a nationwide repu-
tation, partly because his pictures
are so distinctly good, and partly
because he has had the discrimi-
nation to apply his skill in a
field where 1t is appreciated
illustration and design.
His talent Is absolutely natural,
for he was born on a farm near
Elliston, Va, and began in child
hood to sketch and paint in color
at his daily play. His father,
Walter Biggs, ST.. was a retired
commission merchant of Norfolk,
while the young artists mother
was before her marriage Annie
Southall, of Mississippi. Mother
and son were always congenial,
and today they spend their sum-
mers together in Salem, Va,
while in winter the mother often
visits her son in New York.
Observing the boys talent, his
parents moved to Salem, in order
to give him and their daughter,
Lucy. who is now Mrs. Lewis
Langhorn, better educational op-
portunities. They did not fully
realize his artistic bent, however,
for after graduation at the Salem
High School Walter was sent to
the "V. P. L." as 1t is called, at
Blacksburg. for an engineering
course, from which he escaped In
the first semester, and struck out
for New York.
MAKING MISTAKES"
What a mistake Walter is
making" exclaimed all his rela-
tives. There's no money in an
art career" That was what they
said, all but his mother. She
never lost faith in her boy. And
she lived to see him among the
highest paid illustrators in the
country, SO report says.
He entered first the art school
of the late William NJ. Chase,
one Of the best teachers Of the
day. Afterward he studied at the
Art Students League of New
York, where he became later an
instructor. He was a pupil Of
Kenneth Hayes Miller, Henri and
Edward PenfieId, all men with a
reputation.
Biggs has beep an indefatig-
able worker. He loves the South
ern types, and he has perpetuated
many Of them in his pictures,
just as Thomas Nelson Page and
Joel Chandler Harris have done
in their books. How charmingIy
he does this is shown in his illus
trations for Humphrey Gordon's
southern story, "Ommirandy."

trip around to all the sleeping crea-
lures, tucked away so snugly and
warm in their beds.
Ever so quietly they shook more
magic powder all around the sleepers
and then tip-toed softly out.
Suddenly queer thing happened.

Wally, was tumbled pell-mell down
a long tube like a coal chute. He
thought the world had come to an
end or that there had been IAN earth

through crack right toward China.
"My goodness" he cried. "Here
thought was settled for nice long
winters sleep and this is what hap

Wally hadn't time to say another

then rolled over two or three times
and stopped. In spite of all his
tumbling and humping and rolling,
he wasn't hurt speck. In fact it
all felt rather comfortable and he
was sorry when he found himself at
standstill.
At that minute he heard pleas
ant voice speaking. "How do YOU
do, Mr.. Woodchuck!" it said. "Or
do you prefer to be called Ground
hog? am Farmer Hoe Now, at

and his helpers, Nancy and Nick,
sent me word to expect you by the

Wally had got to his feet by this
time with much granting and groan-

his lack of provisions.

eyes. "Say mister, that's my middle
