STUDENTS GIVEN WORK.
Will Study Two Weeks, Then Get
Actual Shop Tests.

How to get a good start in bust
ness quickly is a problem which con
fronts many high school graduates
This problem Is now solved by new
feature of the curriculum Of the new
Benjamin Franklin Day School. which
will open February !.
This feature Is an adaptation Of
a plan originated by Dean Schneider
of the University of Cincinnati. by
which engineering students Of that
school alternate between classes and
actual work assignments. Under that
plan. as in operation there, students
attend classes for two weeks and
then are assigned to an industrial
organization for two weeks. where,
as employees, they secure firSt-hand
knowledge of the details of the work
which they will later be called on
TO plan and supervise. So successful
has this plan proved that 1t has been
adopted by other universities and is
now being introduced in Washington
as method for accountancy train
ing.

Will Not Negotiate

Vienna, Austria, May 14 GP-Pre- mier Witos of Poland refuses to negotiate for peace with Marshal Pilsudski, according to the latest news from Warsaw and is determin- ed to force Pilsudski's surrender. Armed conflicts seem unavoidable, the dispatches say. War Minister Malczewski. who is organizing the governments forces, is still in communication with the country from the southern side of Warsaw, while Pilsudski is holding all the bridges across the Vistula river.
 General Malczewski was trained at the Vienna military academy and was a member Of the Austrian Gen eral staff in the World War. General Hallos General LadisIas HallerD former chief of the general staff, is reported to be marching to- ward Warsaw at the head of the Galician garrisons to aid the gov ernment
 The Poscn troops and air forces are loyal to Premier Witos. The air services to and from Poland have been interrupted.
 Workmen in the Dziedzieze dis trict of Poland have decided to hold up the transport of government troops to the capital, according to reports reaching here, and they are demanding general railroad strike in order to effect this
 Marshal Pilsudski had refused to admit travellers to Warsaw and is turning away volunteering troops on the grounds that he has enough to maintain his power in the city, the reports state.
 Prices in Warsaw are rising and the newspapers have been unable 10 circulate excepting Pilsudsk's bull letins. It is rumored that fighting has been renewed.

Govt Holding Out

Paris. May 14 Pt-Warsaw, the capital of Poland, this morning, was
 on the hands of revolutionary forces under command of former President
 Pilsudski. but the government still was holding out in the Belvidere Palace while negotiations for q peaceful settlement of the situation

 This information was contained in an official announcement received by the Havas agency from Warsaw early today. The despatch said the
 city was calm last night.
 Prague adviCes reported serious
 fighting Thursday around the place, They said IS persons had been kill ed and eighty wounded in the streets
 of the city, the dead included two
 officers. The trouble is the out
 growth of a demand by Pusudski and his adherents for the resignation Of Premier Witos, and the establish ment of 3 ministry to be drawn from the party of the left.
 One dispatch received early this morning by the Hayas agency from the Polish frontier announced that General Sikorski, former premier and once commander Of the Polish army on the northern front, with a force of loyal troops had arrived at the gates of Warsaw and were giv- ing battle 10 Pilsudski's men.

 The belief prevails. here, however. that the conflict continues. Ii is that had either side def- nitoly triumphed the necessity for secrecy would no longer exist.
 Dispatches from PraEue assert that the inner city of Warsaw is completely in the hands of Pilsud skis adherents. They add that the Polish government apparently Is en ieavcring 10 delay negotiations so IS 10 be able 10 bring large fore of troops into Warsaw.

Rodney B. Harvey, associate pro-

The theory was that if the seedlings T
