 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-The Cliff House, perched on precipitous rocks beside the Golden Gate, is known to everyone who has ever tour ed California, and in the old days was a gathering lace for bon vivants 1t has now fallen victim to the Vol stead regime and after a recent pro- hibition raid the proprietor hung a sign on the door reading: :>"Coffee and Doughnuts, &c.,"
 From the porch of the Cliff House many famous characters have tarried to watch the sunset over the ocean. The spot was visited by Presidents Grant, Hayes, Harrison, Mckinley, and Roosevelt. One of the Presi- dents described the seals lolling on Seal Rocks, which rear themselves some 300 feet from the Cliff House, as huge obese fellows, like apoplec- tic aldermen"
 Hereafter, visitors as they watch the ships glide through the Golden Gate will have nothing to eat but doughnuts and nothing to drink but Coffee.

SAFETY COUNCIL TO HONOR
 BENEFACTOR OF RAILROADS
fBy A ssociated Press)


 CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-A movement to immortaliZe the name of Lorenzo A. Coffin, accredited with being spon- sor of the first safety appliance act adopted by Congress and godfather of the air brake and automatic coupler, has been started by the steam rail road section of the National Safety Council. The memorial may be in the form of monument to be plac- ed in the national capital.
 Mr. Coffin was at one time State railroad commissioner. Struck by the great mortality among trainmen, he began experimenting with safety devices. These resulted in the writ ing of safety appliance act, sub mitted section by section to the To- wa supreme judges It was adopt ed later, and in four years the Cof- fin measure had been passed and signed by President Harrison
 MT. Coffin did two great things and he received no reward while liv- ing the Safety Council says. He saved thousands of railroad men from death or permanent injury, and, in the effort to accomplish this, he ef- fected an evolution in railroad trans portation.

(Ry Associated Pressl

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 3.-Aroused by the report of the dean of student affairs disclosing scholastic averages among the fraternities for the 1923 24 school year to be below the min imum requirement for graduation, President Lotus D. Coffman of the University of Minnesota has taken steps to raise the classroom standards of the Greek letter organizations, threatening disciplinary action unless improvement is shown.
 A set of new regulations for all fraternities and sororities, issued by the president, specified that any chap ter not maintaining an average Of c or better shall not be placed on probation by the university for the year following"
 The 1923-24 scholastic report of E. E. Nicholson, dean of student affairs, showed that only IT of the 32 aca- demic fraternities had established c averages for the 1923-24 school year On the other hand not single soror- ity fell below the c average, the re- port disclosed, indicating that the measures taken by the administration were intended primarily for the fra ternities.
 Governing bodies of the Greek let ter organizations ars behind the move ment to improve scholastic standards. The Pan Hellenic council took action limiting the social activities of it's women members, and the fraternity governing body urged it's members not to pledge the new freshmen whose grades at the end of the fall quarter were below the c mark.
