tail Of clothing store management,

clothing and furnishings industry,
accountants, efficiency experts and
professors prominently identified
with business research at the univer-
sites of Harvard, Wisconsin and
Northwestern.
The new system is said by officials
of the association to be one of the
most progressive steps ever taken
in the clothing trade, as it is in

goods to the ultimate consumer at
the least possible expense, and at
the same time render better service.

To Sell Royal
Plate of Austin

Vienna, June % GA. p. by MaiD-
What is probably the rarest and most
valuable collection of silver plate in
Europe, the famous silver treasure
of the Cumberland family. is reported
to be coming into the market. 1t was
kept in the Cumberland royal villa at
Penzig, just outside Vienna, until the
death of the old King of Hanover in
1873. Afterwards it was removed to
the Cumberland country seat at
Gmunden in Salzkammergut.
The collection includes priceless
specimens of the work of the first sill
versmiths in England, France, Augs-
burg, Hanover and Osnabruck, during
the three centuries between 1860 and
1850. The only other collection which
approaches it in extent and complete
ness is that in Windsor castle.
The total weight of the Gmunden
treasure is about 100000 ounces and
it's value in Austrian crowns must
amount to several hundred milliards.
But it is understood that the purs
chaser, or purchasers, will have to
pay in some foreign money of normal
exchange, and not in deprecated
Austrian crowns.

Delinquent Groups
In College Favor
Too Little Sleep

Evanston, ILL.,, July 15.-(By A. P.)
Too little sleep, too much play, not
enough study, too much leisure; fast
eating and diversified thinking are
factors that devitaliZe students and
are responsible for the "deliquent
groups" found in every university,
according to a report made public by
Professor Delton Thomas Howard of
Northwestern University.
In Northwestern alone. out Of 1885
students in the college of liberal arts,
linquent group" of 265 composed Of
166 men and 99' women. In other
words he points out, 16 out Of every
100 students do not pass" But de-
linquency does not necessarily i'm
ply lack Of intelligence, the professor
found.
mo result Of our study" the
Northwestern professor writes, "is
more significant and interesting than
the discovery that the average in
telligence of the so-called delinquent
group is quite as high as that of the
general studentbo
Students found to be delinquent
are put on probation at Northwestern
and have to make good or be dropped
from the roster.
1.-The prODatlOnerS, the lnVeSu-
gator reports, devote more time, as
a whole. by their own confessions, to
athletics, social activities. outside
work. leisure, than do the freshmen;
less time to sleep. campus activities,
meals, classes and studies"
Among the total group Of men in
terviewed, Is were thought to be
handicapped by mental immaturity."
Commenting on this Professor How
ard remarks:
"These are boys who have, for the
most part, been reared under easy
circumstances and who have never
been required to view life seriously.
Such students have a distinctly
childish attitude towards their class
room work, have no intellectual int
erests, no definite ambitions, no
sense of responsibility. In most
of these cases. as might be expected.
high school preparation has been
superficial and inadequate"
Illness, family troubles, and finan-
cial worries are among other causes
leading to students being put on
probation.
Professor Howard drew attention to
the comparatively high percentage OF
delinquent students, using his figures
to illustrate the serious situation IN
American university life today.
