Growth of Nails.

An estimate of the growth or the
nails is one thirty-second of an inch
per week or over an inch and a half
per year. Growth is affected by sick
ness and also by climate, the summer
growth being greater than that of
winter. 1t is also greater for some
fingers than others, the middle finger
having the most rapid, and the thumb
and little finger the slowest growth,
according to some authorities. 1t takes
about AZ months for the nail to reach
it's full length.

Advocates Practical Work
 Before Giving Degrees

New York, Dec. 11.-A man should rub shoulders against life for at least three years after his graduation from a technical school before an engineers degree is confered upon him. in the opinion of William Kelly, prominent Michigan engineer, and a director of the American Institute of Mining and Metalurgical Engineers.
 In a statement published by the or ganizations official paper, MT. Kelly says: Success in life is very largely dependent upon ones relation to other men. and a candidate for an en- gineer's degree should show a reallza- tion of the importance of his personal relation to others
 It is upon this post graduate expert ence that the candidates thesis for a degree should be written, according to Mir. Kelly, rather than the manner now in vogue whereby the thesis is written on knowledge acquired at second hand.

PERSONAL CARE FOR
 FOREIGN STUDENTS
Church States That Their Train.
 ing Is an International Trust

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Presidents of colleges and preparatory schools in the United States would assume per- sonal responsibility for the well-being of foreign students, on the ground that their training is an international trust, If recommendations of the council of church boards of education, cooperat- ing with the friendly relations com mittee of the Y. M. c. A. are adopted.
 Declaring that 12,0O0 students from nearly 100 foreign countries are now in preparatory schools and colleges in the country, the council has recom- mended:
 That the presidents of institutions assume personal responsibility for the well-being of foreign students, onafhe ground that their training is an inter national trust.
 That when the number is too great to exercise this responsibility the presidents delegate it to faculty adviser to foreign students.
 That the president. or his represen- tatives, keep in close touch with the Christian Associations in respect to their work among these students, and assure the latter the same attention that is given to the American student body,
 That every student from abroad be afforded the friendship of the faculty members outside of the class room; hospitality of Christian homes: when ever possible, a home where he can come and go as a true friend; fellow ship of friendly church, through personal introduction; opportunity to. participate in the church's work; means of self expression and presen- tation Of his own country in talks to churches, clubs and schools.
 Evansville College, Indiana, has de- cided to grant free tuition to foreign students.

CALF. REPUBLICAN
 l MEETS COOLIDGE
National Committeeman Has Long | Talk With President

Sacramento, Calf, Dec. 11.-Sup- porters of President Coolidge in his campaign for the republican presiden- tial nomination yesterday signalled what they declared to be a statewide movement in California for their can didate, with the formation of the re- publican league of Sacramento coun- ty in this city, where Senator Hiram W. Johnson was born.
 Eighty-two similar organizations have been formed in California and many others will be listed after a state meeting of Coolidge followers to be held in San Francisco tomorrow. State Treasurer Charles G. Johnson told the league members.
 Republicans in attendance at the organization meeting of the league, which started out with membership of 1ss voters, were emphatic in their declarations that California will send delegation to the national conven- tion pledged to Coolidge.
 Formation of the league followed the organization a week ago of a Johnson-for-preside club, sponsored by the Sacramento county general committee, which, Coolidge followers assert, is controlled by Johnson sup porters.
 J. W. S Butler. Sacramento attor- ney and former president of the Cali fornia State Bar association, who was chosen president of the league, said its purpose is 10 advocate the candi- dacy of Calvin Coolidge for president of the United States"
 At no time In the history of the United States has it been so import ant that the republican leadership be continued" he said.
 w, s, Killingsworth, a local fruit dealer, who presided temporarily, said 1t would not be the persuasive powers of a caididate that would influence the voters of California, but the prin- ciples he espouses."

Illinois College Gets Set Of Enc,tIo- petlia That Date Back One Hum drcJ and Eighty Years.

Galcsburg. Ill.,, Dec. i1.--A "King Tut" among tho modern books has been obtained by KNOX College through the acquisition from France of the original impression of Diderot' s 1s0-year old encyclopedia. The 25 massive volumes. which are the gift of Frank M. Lay, kewanee, H., were packed away generations ago, possibly to avoid destruction during the French Revolution, and except for a slight discoloration Of the heavy leather bindings are virtually in the same condition as when they occupied the shelves Of some noble or scholar of the time or Louis XIV.
 The work was started in 1751. Diderot determined 10 make the book an embodiment of his own then radi- cal ideas. as well as a survey of gene- ral knowledge. and won the opposi- ton of the government. The work was stopped in t757 and resumed when Madame De Pompadour asked the king that she might have it to find out how her rouge and silk stockings were made.

GIRL PROTESTS SHE
 WAS ONLY A FRIEND
Milwaukee Business Man Held for
 Murder of His Wife

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 1.-The first definite action that will send E. Ray Tompkins to the hospital for the criminal insane or to a trial on a charge of first degree murder will be taken today in municipal court when he will be arraigned for killing his wife, Ora. Tompkins has confessed that he killed her and buried the headless body in an isolated spot near the city limits.
 George A. Shaughnessy, district at- torney. will ask the appointment of a commission to inquire into the sanity of the former normal school teacher, now wealthy real estate dealer.
 Miss Florence Witmeyer, former normal school student and former public school teacher, who was arrest ed on statutory charge as a se- auence of the murder. was freed on $oO0 bail yesterday. Tompkins, in his confession, repeatedly referred to Miss Witmeyer as his Inspiration" He first met her, he said, while she was his pupil at the normal school here.
 When arraigned, Miss Witmeyer's attorney complained that the bail was higher than the ordinary bail set in such cases. Judge Page retorted that this is not an ordinary case From what l have heard this woman is the other woman in the Tompkins case"
 Girl Pleads Innocence.
 The attorney argued that the young woman was an innocent vic- tim of the mans intrigue and the blame should not be placed on her, but Judge Page refused 10 reduce the bond.
 Miss Witmeyer said she should not be arrested because Tompkins had forced her to do his bidding by threatening to kill himself
 "I repulsed him to the fullest ex- tent of my ability" she asserted. I'm just a victim of circumstances. I didn't break up his home. I knew there was unhappiness there. ' tell you he was nothing to me but a friend"
