Stanford Upper Classlnen
 Arrange Own Programs

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif., Aug. 13. (P)-At the beginning of the fall term, in October, Stanford Uni versity will give especially quali- fled junior and senior students the run of the university.
 They will be permitted to map out programs of study leading to definite ends and, with the advice of profess sors, carry out these plans in any way they prefer.
 President Ray Lyman Wilbur ex- plained that this was not device to make college work easier.
 "On the contrary" he said, lit is a scheme to make college work suf- ficiently hard to give exceptionally able students a chance to extend themselves and go as fast as they are able, instead of tagging along and marking time with less gifted fellow students. At the end of their course they will have to pass stiff examin- ations to prove their knowledge, and they will be checked up and tested at intervals by faculty advisers.
 "The plan of study will be arrang- ed with the intention of providing program of work both more com prehensive and more intensive than that of the average student, calling for greater initiative, more self-di- rection and a higher type of think ing"

THE PRESIDENT WOULD KNOW
WHAT'S WHAT

PRESIDENT Coolidge has from the
Aret evinced commendable purpose
- know what's what respecting mat
tsrs that come before him. This Of
itSef II no small Job in the situation
In which President Is placed. The
management Of the Governments
shipping interests affords a striking
Illustration of this. In that manage
mert interests and ambitions appear
- conflict; there Is considerable rid
11G u the high horse on the part of
epnna Of the members of the commits
Zen, There are interests outside the
eemmission that would like to see It
sboiished, and presumably some
that would like to see it continued.
Who is to advise the President
without his advice being confused
h the public mind If not in his own
with personal interests? Presumably
HE interests in the shipping Of our
interior waters are not involved In
the interests Of shipping in our
6oastn waters. The President has
asked u. q. Dalton, recognized as an
expert in the affairs Of the Great
Lakes shipping, to investigate and
get at the truth in the Governments
shipping affairs. This would hardly
seem . pleasureable commission for
Mr.. Dalton but If he succeeds he will
have rendered the country A good
service.

Buchanan Birthplace
May Be Restored Again

Chambersburg, Pa, Oct. 2-(AP)-
The weather worn old log cabin in
which James Buchanan, fifteenth
president of the United States, was
born on April %, 1891, is to be re-
stored and preserved as memorial
to Pennsylvania's only President
Built originally by the presidents
father, in the mountains of southern
Pennsylvania, the cabin was moved
nearly century ago to Mercersburg,
where 1t has since stood, used much
Of the time as a tenant house. Now
1t Is being torn down and moved
again; this time to Chambersburg,
where It will be rebuilt on a lot near
the center of the town.
The elder Buchanan was an Irish
man who came to America soon after
the Revolution, and set out to make a
living as a trader among the Indians
and frontiersmen. Choosing a lonely
spot in the hills north Of the Mary
land border he built two log cabins,
one for home and the other a store.
In time his place became known to
the traders and trappers as "Stony
Batter" Here the son Jamie" was
born.
His trading operations proved so
profitable that Buchanan finally
moved to Mercersburg and from there
he sent his son to school and later to
college. The younger man became a
leader in local affairs and represented
his district in the State Legislature
and in Congress. In 1855 he was
elected president. He died in Lam
caster in 1866 and was buried there.
In later years the presidents sisters
erected stone pyramid at the site Of
his birthplace. This stands today,
hidden in grove of pine trees. The
oak logs of the old cabin are we'll pre-
served.

KIRBY AND CONFESSIONS

n n measurable that the public
win wish to learn about anything
which Kirby may have written after
he had decided to commit suicide.
There may be- some who will con-
eldde that . statement written under
such conditions would in the nature
Of things be more dependable than
one written to sell to a newspaper.
This, however, does not appear to be
the opinion Of the reporter Of the
Boston Post that obtained the orig
hal confession. He does not say
why he credits the first instead Of
the latter, though this attitude is not
surprising.
! We have yet to see any reason why
any credence should be placed In
anything Kirby said or wrote. ex-
Eespt his statements be confirmed by
evidence otherwise obtained. It
would seem shout as sensible to be
curious about Whatever the inmates
II the State Hospital for the Insane
might say as anything which may
have come from Kirby.
IN his frst confession he sought to
Ieave 4 bad impression respecting
those that could not reply. In his
last reported statements he seeks to
SHIFT the blame on others for a crime
he, previously had confessed that he
himself committed. We believe that
insane people are not always consti-
tutional liars, but Kirby to the last
seemed to insist that he was.

Black Opaque Glass
Invention JAMS Claim

Tokyo, Sept. PA. P. by Mail)--
After several years investigation,
Jusei Sugiye, a scientist of the Indus
trial Experimental Station of Osaka,
is reported to have invented a black
glass of special kind which is ex-
pected to prove Of great military
value. 1t is said the black glass is
Opaque to all but ultraviolet rays
and, by it's use, battle formations or
the movements of an enemy can be
easily photographed In darkness
without detection. Moving pictures,
it is claimed, can also be taken in the
dark by the use Of the black glass.
Experiments with the new glass
made recently in the presence of
Rar Admiral Muto are said to have
proved a complete success. The in
ventor declares the black glass will
not only, be important for military
purposes, but that 1t will be found
valuable in medical treatment.

Wrinkles Removed in rs
MinufeS--COst 8 Gents!

Quite a sensation has been created in
certain social circles over the wonderful
rejuvenating effects of a simple tarkroot
mixture which any woman can easily APP
ply at home. The results are so remark
abs that one has told others, who in turn
have told many more, and now the new
method bids fair to supersede all the pa
tent wrinkle removers.' massage and
other things used for the purpose.
This is the procedure: A spoonful Of
powdered tarkroot is mixed with a
spoonful Of lemon Juice. and this il
spread over the face. An amazing trans
formation takes place. as the mirror
shows. In less than Is minutes wrinkles,
crowsfeet and creases have completely
vanished! Facial contour is noticeably
improved and the face looks years
younger. The most skillful massa aging
could not produce such q wholesome eff
rect as remains after the mixture has
been washed off. Tarkroot Is of course
perfectly harmless. Inexpensive. too.
An orisinal package from the druggist
contains sufficient to bring the cost ner
treatment under cents.-Adv.

AS dear Uncle Lucky. the old
gentleman rabbit, sat at the break
fast table, slipping his carrot conee,
and reading the Bunnybridge Bugle,
all of a sudden the postmans whistle
sounded loud and clear. and the next
minute tinkle, tinkle went the front
door bell.
"A letter, laughed Little Miss
Mousie, jumping down from the
chair opposite nice Uncle Lucky. :.
More likely BILL" sighed the old
gentleman rabbit. Not that I object
to paying for what use, but figures
don't tell pretty bedtime stories. NO.
indeedy."
"A bill from the Dwarf Shoe
maker" exclaimed Little Miss
Mousie. handing the envelope to
Uncle Lucky.
"Well, I'm only too glad to pay it."
laughed the nice old gentleman
bunny. Its for the Daddy Longlegs'
shoes. You remember how he saved
Little Jack Rabbit and me from Ian
nv Fox. He was mighty generous
with Them" and funny Uncle Lucky
laughed as he remembered how the
old gentleman insect had thrown
them at the old fox.
BY and by, aIter signing CHosh
for the Dwarf Shoemaker and ad-
dressing the envelope, the old gentle
man rabbit hoped out to the barn to
see the Old Red Rooster, who was
busy oiling the lawn mower. UP
aloft the pigeons were cooling on the
front porch that jutted out beneath
the round holes in the barn. Yes
they had a very comfortable home in
the loft of the old building. and as
the dear old gentleman rabbit stood
talking to the Old Red Rooster, one
of the pigeons fluttered down and
lighted on the brim of Uncle Lucky
old wedding stovepipe hat. Leaning
over to peep into the old gentleman
bunny's kind eyes, she twittered:
"There are four little pigeons up In
my nest,
But which of the four I really love
best
I'm sure don't know. for love
them all So"
"That's a good little mother" said
dear Uncle Lucky. Love your chill
dren all the same"

At ARMAeEppoN

Uuooupteoly thoso In Atten0adce
on the W. q. T. U. Convention, who
heard Mr.. May explain the situation
as he sees 1t from out his long and
valuable experience, came away i'm
pressed with the idea that this sure
ly would be no time for the W. c. 7.
u. to 60 out Of business were such
step contemplated. Neither did 1t
appear from what he said that the
time has gone by when that organ
ization should keep a very watchful
eye on John Barleycorn, however
PROSTATE his figure may seem to be.
The efforts to enforce law need O
backing of organized support. need
it very much. Not only should the
law be supported but the enforcers
as well and 1t Is important for the
public to know when those enforc-
ers are doing good work. We think
Maine people have been giving this
consideration. They have had an OPP
portunity to see good men at work
under the direction Of Mr.. May, al
SO to note tangible results Of such
work.
There is yet need Of girding up for
the fight against lawlessness. The
enforcement chief declared to the
conventions: IF ever we stood at
Arma geddon in times of peace, that
is where we stand today" He declar-
ed that the liquor traffic is supported
by combinations operating on such a
huge scale that they could be &C.
cused of breaking the Federal anti
trust laws and employ thousands Of
detectives to protect them. There is
a plenty that they are capable of en-
deavoring to do to an honest enforc-
err of laws.
Moreover, Mr.. May called attention
to the fact that the Volstead law is
not the only one that is being brok-
en-; that laxity of enforcement of
most of our laws against crime is a
sorry spectacle. He told them he be-
1ieved the. 18th Amendment an ex-
cellent thing if for no other reason
than it is bringing about searching
investigation of criminal procedure.
He insisted, and he is right in insist
ing that public confidence in public
officials must be built up. The OFF,
Gals have the first duty, to command
such confidence; the public has the
second duty. to see that the officials
get what belongs to them. Mr.. May
and the men who have been working
with him appear to have performed
their part. We must not hesitate to
do ours.

WHAT cAILrAux TAKES HOME

A scaling down by France of a
four billion debt to one and three
quarters. which experts say would
have been the effect. would have
been an accomplishment that would
have gone far to support the friends
Of Caillaux, who regard him a
financial wizard.
He was up against a man, Secre-
tary Mellon, who knows something
about finance, and he takes back
with him a tentative arrangement
that. If France accepts 1t, puts of
final negotiations until 1920. Mean
while, II that agreement be accepted
by France, she would make annual
payments of forty millions. Further
more auch an annuity would be in
lieu Of interest during the period 1t
would be in effect.
II 10 to be hoped this arrangement
will be found acceptable. By 1880 1t
should be possible to demonstrate
more clearly than may now be done
how much France may properly
pay, ~ this has been in the minds
u this country. that from the first
has not wished to exact hard terms
Of her. notwithstanding the people of
France have been told the contrary.
Secretary Mellon well expressed 1t
when he said: 1.-THE nub of the Diff
/. 6culty Of the two commissions
arises in difference in judgment as
to the future capacity Of France to
nay without . undermining her
economic and social fabric and this
dinlculty narrows itself to the future
rather than the present. for we are
prepared to accept the French COM
missions views as to the immediate
difficulties Of France.
Manifestly. though adhering to our
privilege Of dealing with each credit
a a. may to us seem best. we can
not n dealing with France ignore
our debt relations with other credit
osA. From the first we have declar-
"a that We would not place our
claims contingent to the payment Of
6srman rsparations the adjustment
a which We are not in position to
msddlS with. Mr.. Caillaux seems
iil-advised in making the efforts he
lid to bring about such a situation.
