LANSING, Mich, March 6.-Officials
of the Michigan State Normal School
at Ypsilanti, who expelled Miss Alice
Tanton for alleged smoking Of
cigarettes In the spring of 1922, were
upheld by the state supreme court in
a decision handed down yesterday.
Miss Tanton is now working as a

Miss Tanton was refused permis-

of cigarette smoking, and took her
case to the courts in an effort to
compel the authorities to admit her.
The supreme court not only refused
to order her return to school but

authorities were seeking to make a
requirement for girls which they did
not make for boys.

China's Use of Opium,

It is believed that Arabs introduced
the use of opium into China in the
Fifteenth century. 1t reached India
simultaneously. A Chinese author
states that it was under the Ming
dynasty, which reigned from 1913 to
1914, that the use became general of
"the pill called Elixir of Gold which,
used to excess, results in detriment
to the health" At that time the
opium consumed in China was grown
In the country itself; when the habit
of smoking became widespread, China
began to import considerable quaint
ties of opium from India. The tobac-
co of the Philippines had been intro
duced into China in 1920, and 1t is
only since the Eighteenth century
that the custom has become general
of smoking the crude opium, instead
of the tobacco impregnated with
opium originally used by the inhab-
itants of Java and Formosa.

Fought Printing Press

To be scribe during the Renais-
sance period-that is the period Of re-
vival of art which started in Italy
during the Fourteenth century-was to
hold very profitable position. The
Renaissance movement gave rise to a
great demand for "scribes" to make
copies of the poets and philosophers
whose work, after centuries Of neglect,
had once more come into its own.
These scribes for some time command
ed quite high prices for their work,
and, even after the printing press had
been introduced, continued to put up
a brave fight against that "soulless
machine" In this they were encour-
aged by some Of the great mobiles of
the time The duke Of Urbina, for in
stance, who kept 40 scribes employed
in copying parchments, was accus-
toned to say that he would be
ASHAMED to have printed book in his
library"

To Honor Lofoyefte

The wonderful growth of the United
States as a nation during the past
100 years is shown forcibly in the
correspondence relative to the legisla-
ton put before congress, supported by
the national society, Daughters of the
American Revolution; the Portland
Historical society and the Interna-
tional Longfellow society, providing for
celebration Of the centenary Of La
fayette's last visit to this country.
The nation of 100000 people for
which he fought by the side of Wash
ington had grown to 100000, and to-
day, after 100 years, numbers 112.000,-
600. The Union of "a states has
now 48.
Recalling the fact that no Roman
ever had such triumphal procession
as that accorded Lafayette, which has
scarcely a parallel in the annals of
man, as he journeyed through every
one of the then "a states, week after
week, month after month, continuously
for more than year, 1t was proposed
that a national commission should
traverse over the same roads in the
then "a states Of the Union on the an
niversaries of his journey and that this
course be designated as permanent La
fayette memorial highways.

Farmers Learned Lesson,

Twenty-Five years experience in bed
ding sweet potatoes for early slips had
not made a certain negro farmer of
Limestone county, Ala, successful in
his attempts. When the local agricul-
turaI agent called the negro farmers
of this mans community together,
early in 1928, to discuss plans for the
years extension work, this farmer
spoke of his difficulty. Others present
had also had poor results from their
methods. The local agent explained
the method recommended by the agri-
cultural college. Although somewhat
doubtful of success, after watching the
agent and neighbor bed six bushels
of sweet potatoes, eight farmers went
home and tried the new method. Five
of the eight, according to reports to the
United States Department of Agricul.
ture, were able to set out their plants
by April 10 and sold more than 200
bushels of sweet potatoes on the early
market before their neighbors' crop
was ready.

Sun NOT Dead Yet

The age of the sun has been fixed by
astronomers at something between two
and three billion years. The estimates
are based In part on the rate of decom-
position of radioactive elements, and
in part on deductions from Einstein's
theory of RELATIVELY concerning the re-
lation between mass and energy. Early
estimates set the age of the sun as low
as 100000 years, but biologists
showed this was too short to allow for
the erosion and other changes observed
In the crust of the earth since 1t be-
came solid. The radioactive decompo-
sition of uranium to lead is a more
accurate cosmic clock, and this indi-
Gates that the solid crust of the earth
has existed for at least one and one
half billion years. According to Nernst
the sun, while getting past middle age,
is still good for 4O0.O00,000 years, after
which crust will form ON its surface
and life as we know it will cease upon
the earth.

Suggestion for Aufoists

An excellent use has been suggested
for the old oil drained from the crank
cases of autos This oil is heavy and
makes an effective mosquito exter-
minator. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant
places where they lay their eggs which
hatch in the spring. If the old oil
is saved from time to time, when the
crank case is drained for new oil to
be put in, and spread over these stag
nant places before the eggs hatch,
your premises will likely be freed OF
all mosquitoes for the year. II is
