BANE OF COLLEGES
Modern University Mans Hardi-

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 81
Cookie Dusters," 1926 models of the
milksop, are the bane of college life,
delegates to the Interfraternity Con-
ference were told today.
1.-THE coonskin coat, soft leather
chairs, walters and bids to house
parties given by eminent hostesses in
towns near colleges threaten the hardi-
ness of the modern university man."
Rev. Boyd Edwards, headmaster Of
Hill School, said.
Mr.. Edwards cited reports OF foot
ball coaches, who were quoted as say
ing that it takes twice as long to "stir
the modern man to fighting pitch for
foot ball game as it did his father"
William Mather Lewis, president Of
George Washington University. in the
closing address of the conference, de-
clared fraternity life was the strongest
feature of modern colleges. Golf and
tennis, he said, were preferable games
for college men because they could be
of value to the graduate after leaving
his alma mater.
Former Judge William r. Bayes of
New York was elected chairman of
the conference. Harold Riegelman
was elected vice chairman. and Cliff
ford NJ. Swan, Boston engineer, was
elected treasurer. Robert N. Nelson,
was reelected secretary.

Hospital addicted to dope" it was
brought out at coroner's inquest to-

suffered fractured skull and both
eyes were discolored.

some time previously and an abscess
had developed.

tives intimated to the coroner they
believed he had been beaten while in
custody at some institution.

DOUGHBOY'S SUBSISTENCE PAY
BELOW SAILORS OR MARINES
Gets 31.5 Gents Day, Marine Gets 49.7,
and Sailor Has Hig chest Amount, 52.3
Cents-Sea Air Increases Hunger.

The infantryman, shoulders aching
from heavy pack and appetite whet-
ted by a few hours Of snappy pick
and shovel drill, must subsist on 31.5
cents day.
His brother-in-arms, the marine, can
eat gluttonously to the extent OF 49,
cents a day, and the aristocratic sailor
has 52.3 cents a day for his ration.
No wonder the poor doughboy Is
mad at being made the Cinderella OF
the. fighting family. according to Maj
Gen. Robert H. Allen. chief of In
fantry, whose annual report was
made public yesterday. He's so mad.
in fact, that sometimes he quits In
disgust and runs away with princess
Of something.
Way to Use Ration.
The actual Infantry ration, it was
explained in the Infantry section of
the War Department, is not so bad if
it is followed out as prescribed. But
they draw the analogy of. going into
a swell hotel with 81 cents in your
pocket and looking at the menu. You
can have anything listed which you
can buy for that amount and the
chances are you would be pretty
hungry when you got through.
It's the same when the infantryman
looks over the Army regulations and
comes upon his ration. He can have
as much Of it, or food in kind. as can
be bought for 31.5 cents. Mess SER
geants must rack their brains to fig
ure out how healthy man can be fed
for this amount and kept healthy.
Even a. reduction Of the personnel
does not entirely answer the problem.

SUBSTITUTES USED
FOR HOLLY PINE
Stores Adopt New Style Ar
tificiaI Ornaments to
Save Greens.

AS glittering arrays OF Christmas
gifts of all varieties were spread be.
fore the adniiring gaze of Washing
tonians in the oity stores. fully u week
early this year, one of the noticeable
features of the display was the In
creasing use of beautiful substitutes
for native holly and ground pine in
decorations.
sSome Of the large stores. which in
the past have specialized In huge
wreaths of holly and streamers OF
ground pine. appeared to have In
vested largely this year in attractive.
bright and new-style ornaments OF
various textures and hues.
This trend toward increasing use OF
substitutes for the fast st-disappearing
holly and ground pine in the vicinity
of Washington has proved highly
pleasing to those behind the campaign
this year for preservation Of these
beautiful and attractive Christmas
green's.
The stores which are using gorgeous
products of the artisans skill instead
of natural green's this year have set
an example not only for conservation
but for beauty of decoration, which
carried largely into the homes of
Washington during the approaching
holiday season.
Behind the movement are the Ma
tional Capital Committee Of the Gar.
den Club Of America. and the Wild
flower Preservation Society. IT is
their hope to increase to even a larger
extent than in the past the Use OF
wreaths and streamers, now on the
market in larger quantities than over
Merchants dealing in these articles
are understood to have laid in an ad-
ditional supply for the holidays this
year. and already have begun to push
their sale.
