RUMANA IS SLOW
 IN PAYING DEBTS

Bucharest. Jan. 2. - Among the several matters which Minister Jay, since his recent return to Bucha- rest has taken up with the Ru- manian foreign office, has been the war debt of the Rumanian goveru- m@nt 10 the government of the United States.
 Acting under instructions re- coiycd from the department of state, Mr. Jay is understood to have pointed out that the time has ar- rived for Rumania, if not to con- cude d definite funding arrange ment, at least 10 send a commission 10 the United States properly sup piled with all the necessary data so that an agreement can be reached as 10 the precise amount Of the debt. The Rumanion government sent such a commission to the United States about two years ago, but its records were in such con- fused and incomplete condition that it was quite impossible to ar rive at even an approximate basis Of understanding It IS believed that promise has been given that an- other, and better equipped commits sion will leave Bucharest for Wash ington early in 1925 with the hope of arriving at a complete under standing.

ENROLMENT FOR
 COLLEGES GAINS
Increases Much Faster Than
 Growth in Population

Chicago, Jan. 9.--Collegiate en- rollment in 20 years has increased from four 10 six and one-half times as fast as the population, but the many students who fail to make sat- isfactory standing constitute an ap- p3lling waste of time and money, j. B, Johnson, dean of the College Of Science, Literature and the Arts, University of Minnesota, told the Association of American Colleges today.
 Colleges, he said. should endeavor to convey the idea that college is for people fitted to do college work and the professions for which col lcge trains, that other honorable and satisfying things can be done by those without the peculiar ability required for college work and that parents who send unqualified chil- dreu to college waste their money and the children's time.
 No college course or group of courses has been found to predict S1hDNA, CNSSNSo VI V as well as a two-hour, intelligence test does, according to Professor Ben D. Wood of Columbia univer- sity.
 College professors need to burst into song or dance at their meet tngs. Dr. F. F. Keppel of New York, president of the Carnegie Corpora tion, told the association.
 Imagine a group of librarians or college professors or presidents here spontaneously bursting into song, or dancing, or both" he said. Yet that Is just what we need to break through our self-consciousness and our patterns of invention.

ATTRACTING
FARMERS

Farmers of the North and Middle
West are firing Of the rigorous win
ters and the worn out soil of the old
farm states, and great numbers Of
them are seeking balmier climes and
virgin soil, according to Bruce K.
Morton of Kansas City, division pas
senger agent of the NJ. X. & II. Rail,
road. who is guest at the Robert f..
Lee Hotel.
Mr.. Morton, who has been handling
colonization trains for his railroad
for the past eighteen years, came
down with the monster excursion
train of homeseckers which Charles
Ladd of the Winter Garden Farms
Company, Inc, brought to San An
tonic Monday.
Middle-West farmers must mark
time for six months in the year while
snow carpets the ground, and wintry
blasts keep them lowering around
their fireplaces, Mr.. Norton said Wed
nesday. Meanwhile, their farm ami
mails are seating their heads off," and
fertilizer bills mount higher and
higher.
1t is for these and other reasons
that the balmy climate and the hun.
dreds of thousands of virgin acres of
the San Antonio district attract so
many prospective citizens, Mr.. Nor
ton explained.
THAT homeseekers excursion" con-
tinued Mr.. Morton, was the largest
crowd l ever saw on a maiden trip
to new territory. Mr.. Ladd had his
forces thoroughly organized. His agents
in more than fourteen states had been
accumulating prospects for the trip for
some time. At the last moment il
was necessary for him to turn back
at least $50 people by telephone and
telegraph.
"And those people are buying land,
believe me, and buying it fast. When
they were taken to the Catarina dis
trict and saw the possibilities of the
soil, they began clamoring for acres.
Ladd's 20 statesmen were kept busy
filling out sales tickets"

Deputy Arrested After
Promising Test in
First Case.

Charges of impersonating an officer
will be filed against Deputy Constable
B. L. Afford, it was announced BY
Police Captain Joe Moglia Friday.
This was Affords second arrest in the
city traffic war.
Following close on the heels of his
announcement that he will carry up
a test case in the constable war;" B.
L. Afford, deputy constable Of Pre-
cinct was re-arrested Thursday.
According to an admission he is
said to have made to Police Captain
Moglia, Afford is a Brooks Field sol
der on furlough, holding a deputy's
commission under Constable B. j.
Ginder.
Charges also probably will be pre-
fcrred against Ginder, Captain Moglia
said, for issuing a commission to
deputy who is not resident OF his
precinct.
ARRESTED TWICE.
Afford, with Constable z. ii. Tai
bert and Deputy Constable 7. 81. Lo-
PEI, was first arrested Tuesday on or
ders from Fire and Police Commits
sioner Phil Wright, who announced
his intention of putting a stop to out
side constables making arrests within
the city limits. Charges of carrying a
pistol we're filed against them.
Wednesday afternoon Afford was
released on 5000 bond, following
habeas corpus hearing in the Ninety
fourth District court and hearing set
for Friday morning.
Thursday Police Captain Moglia
and Captain Dickman Of the motor
cycle squad, again arrested Afford on
South Flores street. It was then that
he admitted that he is Brooks Field
soldier on furlough.
PLAN TEST.
Attorneys representing the three
men Thursday said steps viii be taken
to test the rights Of these officers to
make traffic arrests within the city
limits, and to carry pistols.
The complaints were filed against
them following an opinion by District
Attorney G. NJ. Chambers, who held
that constables are not peace officers
and cannot carry pistols unless they
are paid salaries of at least $40 a
month.
First guns we're fired in the war
several days ago when the city COM
missiouers complained that motorists
had been arrested within the city BY
deputies from outlying precincts. The
commissioners said such arrests we're
outrsges.
