washington is destined to be
the educational center of the United
States" said Seymour, and in
taking this step the Chamber Is
preparing for the future. We be-
lieve that there are many who de-
sire to avail : themselves of the
educational advantages Offered by
Washington, but have been unable

have.
The committee is to meet in the

LAZY Student

By international News Service

BY International News service
BOSTON, March 1s.-It has been
said that necessity is the mother
of, invention" but it was not en-
tirely necessity that led Massa-
chuaetts Institute of Technology stu
dent engineer to conceive whereby
he. could sleep with his window
open and stilI have the room warm
on arising.
It was during the recent cold
spell that the ingunity Of this young
undergraduate was put to a test.
The result was as follows:
An antiquated alarm clock closes
an electrical circuit sending a cur
rent through the primary of an
old induction coil. The secondary
is connected to short spark gap.
As the spark jumps this gap it
burns piece Of thread suspended
midway in the gap, thus releasing
the steam valve on the radiator.
At the same time the window catch
is released and the window closes
without slamming, due to the pres
ence Of rubber buffers, which pre-
vent the sleeper from being dis
turbed.
This mechanism operates auto
maticalIy each morning at s, ana
when Mr.. Student Engineer steps
ont Of the sheets at o'clock the
temperature Of the room is again at
normal.

Germans Vote to Take
Property Of Their
Former Rulers

BERLIN, March 1S.-Eight
million voters have registered in
favor of dispossessing the for
mer rulers of Germany from
their property, it was announced
today. ....--. --..
The registration is a prelim-
mary measure to the holding Of
an official national plebiscite
on the question.
The German Constitution pro-
vides that where one-tenth Of
the voters indicate a desire by
. registration for the adoption
of measure, that measure
must be introduced in the Reich
stag.
IN the event of the bills
failure in the Reichstag, a
plebiscite must be held upon the
question. One-tenth of the vot-
Ing population of Germany is
10000, hence twice as many
votes were cast as were neces-
Eary.

cilities have slowly been improved to
keep pace with the POPULARITY of this
new form of mentioning. The Out
Door Life Association has seen sit
uation growing that, if not checked,
would in time react against motor
camping and the sale of motor camp
ing equipment.
In order to put motor camping on a
better plane it was obvious that motor
camp had to be cleaned up-they had
to be made safe for their overnight
guests-they have to be supervised
and placed under some CONTROL As a
result the Outdoor Life Association
has gone on record as favoring pay
camps as contrasted with free camps
and has preached the slogan "Charge
SOC a Night and Make it Worth it,.
The menace of the motor camper as
a source of fire hazard has also been
recognized by the Association. When
one considers that millions of city
bred people filter into the wilderness
each year and light their camp fires
wherever the opportunity is afforded,
it is evident that the auto camper, un-
controlled, is considerable source of
hazard to our forests. AS part of its
conservation campaign the Associa-
ton has been extremely successful in
securing the regulation of motor
campers in such fashion that the

Tribute to George Washington was

which consisted of appropri-
ate recitations and songs. The pro-
gram opened with a song by the
school, America, The Beautiful,
followed by readings: "Washington's
Spirit, by George Headington;
George Washington" (dialect), by
John Hays; "a Tribute to Washing
ton" by Marshal Foltz; Little Martha

camper is not allowed to build fires
in places where they may be danger
Gus.
Another aspect of the Associations
work has been the teaching of conser-
walton in the public schools. The best
time to implant the idea that conserva-
ton is one of the most important
things for the American citizens at
tention is when the citizen is still in
the embryo, that is, in school. AS a
result of the Associations efforts in
Wisconsin, the directorate of Wiscon-
sins public school system has gone on
record as favoring the teaching of con-
servation as a part of the regular
school activity and material is now
being gathered for set of text books
on the subject.
The Association is sponsoring the
Fourth National Outdoor Life Expo
sition which will be held in the Coli
scum, Chicago, May 10 to l, 1926, con-
current with the annual convention of
the Association.
Some of the exhibits in this expo
sition will be arranged to portray the
scenic and recreational attractions of
America, while others will have dem
onstrations of all sorts of equipment
used by the pleasure seeker out of
doors. A model auto camp will teach
the embryonic auto camper as to what
equipment to select and how to csc it.
Fly and bait-casting tournaments,
horseshoe pitching and other contests
of games playel in the great out OF
doors will be held SO that the business
man who believes sit pays to play
will have chance to select the "new
occasions and new opportunities tc
play.
The office of the Association is To-
Gated at Room 432 Monon Building
Chicago-and is in charge of the Sec
retary-Treasurer Milo E. Westbrooke

tition so that even the novice will have
no hesitation in entering-tennis tourn
aments, baseball games and horseshoe
pitching tournaments.
The Association has also done a
great deal of work in the field of
motor camping. AS Americas fastest
growing outdoor sport, motor camp
ing has suffered from growing pains
in its youth. Camps were largely I'M
organized, the business of camping
was only half understood and any,
body with car, some spare blankets
and few primitive cooking utensils
recruited from the kitchen, could go
out and become highway gypsy. The
appeal of the sport has been so great
however, that equipment and camp ia

LILLIAN RICH ABLE
TO WRITE BOOK ON
ANIMALSlHAVE MET
As. Heroine of "Simon the Jester"
Actress is Trainer and Circus
Rider of Skill

Lillian Rich, heroine IN "Simon the
JESTER" Frances Marion's new pro-
duction scheduled to show at the Iris
theatre for two days, starting Tuesday
next, is qualified to write books on the
subjects "What I Know About Wild
Life in Hollywood or Wild Animals I
Have Met"
These books would be founded on
facts-not fancies as the title of the
book might indicate, for Miss Rich
has, during her screen career, appear
ed in productions with dogs, horses,
wolves, lions, elephants, and other
wild animals and in "Simon the Jes-
ter" she is cast as the owner of a
large circus, wild animal tanner and
bareback rider.
1t was an interesting experience for
friends of Miss Rich during the film
ing of this production to observe the
carefree and easy manner in which she
appeared with the animals. There
was not the anticipated fear which
feeling is generally evidenced on the
part of a player cast in production
with wild animals of any sort.
The remarkable features of the cir
Gus tent was the fact that though
there were several hundred extras"
used in the scene and the same amount
of enthusiastic confusion which sur
rounds a circus, not a casualty was
reported during the entire filming OF
this sequence.
"Simon the Jester" brings together
for the first time Eugene O'Brien and
Miss Rich. Other players in the cast
include Henry B. Walthall, William
Platt, the worlds smallest human, ano
mnay side show curiousities.
