pairs of shoes had been taken. The
robbery was discovered by Juan Orr
tega, proprietor of the establishment,
carly Monday morning and was be
l;eved to have been committed some
time Sunday night.
Entrance to the shoe shop was
made through rear window, which
was found to be broken. Almost the
entire stock of the store had been
ransacked and it was stated that
only children's shoes of a certain
range of sizes had been taken.
The home of Mr.! and Mrs. Mrs. A.

avenue. This robbery was also re-
ported to have occurred Sunday night.

High Praise Accorded
to American Hospitals

Brinck Eliassen, Danish physician
who has just returned home from q
visit to the United States, is en-
thusiastic about American hospitals.
He was amazed by the evidence of
wealth and speaks in terms of high
praise Of the generosity of American
millionaires toward the hospitals. Ow-
ing to the large amounts given for the
benefit Of the sick people, he says,
american hospitals are probably the
best equipped in the world" Doctor
Eliassen's opinion of hygienic condi-
tiOns in American hospitals, except
ing the very modern ones, is more
critical. "In Chicago" he says, II
saw awful places provided for the sick
poor" In the course Of an interview
the doctor asserted that during the
coming summer 200 American sur
geons would visit Scandinavia under
the escort Of Danish woman, Miss
Christensen, secretary at the medical
academy in New York.

The university, in the modern sense,
dates to the Twelfth and Thirteenth
centuries as an outgrowth Of earlier
schools in connection with cathedrals
and monasteries. This despite the
fact that a number Of European uni
versities have legends carrying their
origin considerably farther back-as
for instance Oxford, whose tradition
Is that 1t was founded by King Alfred
about 872.
Oxford dates, however, to early in
the Twelfth century. The universities
OF Paris and Bologna, which exercised
the greatest influence upon the later
institutions, were founded about 1000.
The oldest Spanish university Is that
Of Salamanca, dating to 1240. The
earliest Italian universities, besides
Bologna, were Padua. 1922; Naples,
1924; Genoa, 1243, and Perugia, 1915.
About ten others were founded in that
country before 1850, and Italy was the
greatest resort Of students for the
higher education during those times.
The University Of Prague was es-
tablished in 1913; the first college at
Cambridge in 1857, and the University
of Jagielle, in Cracow, Poland, in 1854.
The University OF Copenhagen dates
to 1479, and OF Edinburgh to 1882.

Not only are structures attacked, but

an entire garden In a night, leaving
nothing but the bare stalks Of the

many cases rise to height Of 20 feet

From, a West Window

I'VE have liking for house that
faces the west" says E. E. Kelly, In
the Garden City (Ga.) Herald, and he
gives his reasons, as follows:
East fronts may have their adj
vantages, but with the coming of twi-
light there is a feeling that happy or
q contented day has ended all too
soon. To sit on an east porch in the
twilight is for those to enjoy who live
In memories; but the home that faces
the sunset has about it pervading
atmosphere of youth and hope. The
fading sunset light and the slow COM
ing night shortens the hours Of dark
ness for one who is full of the Joy of
living. And, too, however prosaic or
even sordid the events of the day have
been. almost any evening the soul
may be exalted as nature paints her
cloud pictures above the western hort
Zon."
