- Uruguay, according to . re-
port just received by the Score
tary Of State from G. Gaylord
Marsh, American consul st Monte
video. For 8 long time Latin
was an obligatory study for the
students of the university Of the
country: then English was per-
n1itfed as an elective instead OF
Latin: finally Latin was Sup
pressed as an obligatory study
and English was required OF all.
AL students IN secondary schools
must take either English or Ger
man. and comparatively few elect
German.
The study Of English has be-
come more and more fashionable.
says Consul Marsh. Private stu.
dents Of English, especially ladies',
have largely increased in NUM-
bers, and this has caused q great
increase in the number Of teach
ers; but really competent teach
ers are few.

GREATOPEN
SPACES

DISTANCES are measured by
II different standards in the city
and in the open spaces Of the out
doors. In great city the modern
housewife would be exceedingly
put out If her grocer was not 10
Gated within a block or two Of her
kitchen. In smaller community
it may be necessary to walk
mile or two into the village proper
for supplies. But in Pueblo Pom
ito. N. NJ, the nearest grocery IL
a mere matter of a hundred and
six miles away.
In fine weather, when the roads
are dry, the trip may be made in
fourteen hours. But when the
rains have made the roads muddy
and sticky, it may be week be-
fore the messengers return with
supplies.
Pueblo Bonito has the distinction
of being the site Of the first large
apartment house in the country.
It is true that the building was OF
stone and was not equipped with
many of those conventences that
we deem essential to an apartment
house. But, nevertheless, 1t housed
some 1000 people at one time.
This apartment house" was
structure of four stories covering
acres and acres of land. 1t was
a sort of communal building and
comprised the whole village Of
Pueblo Bonito. Five hundred years
before the discovery of America
by the white man this community
existed in the midst Of a highly
organized civilization.
One of the most striking fea-
lures OF that civilization, to us, Is
the fact that the wife was the
head of the household. Women
owned the property and ruled the
homes. The men simply provided
for the families. The corn In the
fields belonged to men, but an soon
as it was dried and brought in
doors to be stored it belonged TO
the women. and they had the
privilege of deciding how 1t was
to be used and when.
In return for these privileges,
however, the women worked
about every hour of the. day.
Their tasks were unending.
Blankets had to be woven, skins
tanned, there was the pottery to
be done and the corn to be
ground. All these, of course.
were done with crude instruments
and involved hours and hours OF
most tedious and minute applica-
ton.
Today Pueblo Bonito In q mass
of ruins, long deserted and &C.
cupied only by biologists who are
interested in discovering the Sc
crets of this civilization. And
since they do not raise their food,
as the ancient inhabitants did,
they must travel log miles to the
grocery to get their supplies.

UNIVERSITIES
CLOSED

A LII universities in Ecuador
"A were closed Temporarily" by
g. governmental decree dated
August II, 1925, reports r. M.
de Lambert, secretary, United
States legation at Quito. The uni
versities were located at Quito,
Grayaqu:l, Cuenca, and Lola.
For many years past there has
been discomfort with the so-called
superior education. 1t has been
most respectable to study for the
degree of doctor of law or doctor
of medicine, Mr.. de Lambert
states, and although many efforts
have been made by Congress and
otherwise to make the courses
more difficult and have the can
didates for degrees more thor
oughly prepared, the degrees still
have remained too easy of attain
ment. The result is that the
country is flooded with doctors,
the majority OF whom are unable
to earn q living at their pf0feS-
sion.

MUFF is THE
THING OF
SEASON
BY Alice Langelier
international News Service Staff
Correspondent


PARIS.
66NKUFF it, is to be one Of
AVA Madame's fashion notices
for the coming winter. All signs
point to the little finger toaster
returning to use again.
Whether it is the weather mans
prophecy for long, hard winter
or Just the natural course OF
whimsical Fashion that brought
them back, no one quite knows.
At any rate, new coat styles
have the muff possible again with
their secure closing9. 1t was
quite out OF the question when
n1antles had to be held together
by frozen fingers. Perhaps there
is some coquetry in the bargain,
for every woman knows that
keeping the hands warm in q
muff is bound to make them
more beautiful and what woman
does not want beautiful hands
and fingers?
The muff Of the season is the
tiniest little affair Of almost moth
ing at all, soft bit Of fur that
resembles a big cat rolled up intS
a ball. Only the barrel shape has
appeared 80 far and the large fur
designers are not promising any
other shapes. They say the old
rug muff cannot come back for
it does not harmonic with the
fashionable flares and godets on
the robes and coats Of today.
The fur for the muff, of course,
comes Of. every variety, matching
the trimming of the costume in
nearly every case. Max is show
ing charming little cubist muffs OF
mixtures of fur cut into all shapes
and put together in heterogeneous
manner. There is a charming
black and white, half and half seal
and white fur and there is an
other in sable combined with seal.
The cuffs OF the coats are so
large this year that very often the
little muff is quite swallowed up
by them and many a time one can
scarcely see the muff for the cuff.

It is as If your image were

warm and loving arms, where
shall find a perfect haven of rest
and contentment. Your smile alone
shall encourage me to do those
things which otherwise would seem
impossible.
And so, as gaze at the starry
heavens, seem to feel your
gracious presence at my side eoad-

and outstretched arms. Surely.
