 The apo man has yariously been reported by the girls and neighbors as a hairy creature of terrifying mien.

MANY STUDENTS WORK

Changed conditions in the Latin quarter, increased cost of board and lodgings, have produced a French counterpart to the Amer- can university student working his way through college. Heretofore work has never been popular with the French undergraduates. but French readers now are becoming accus- toned to newspaper advertisements like the following:
 Student in his last year seeks job as floor cleaner. waxer and polisher, or any domestic work reasonably well paid, which will leave certain mornings free"
 The "frotteur," or floor polisher in Paris, gets his work done early between five and seven in the morning.
 Owing to the depreciation of the franc, q record inpouring of American professors and teachers is promised to Paris this summer by Dr. Horatio S. Krans, secretary and assistant director of the continental division of the American University Union in Europe. Last summers influx of professors who studied in France during the summer vacation will be far exceeded. Dr. krans believes.
 Records of the University Union show that against 1892 American students hre in 1922 1923 there were 3,7S9 between 924 and 1925. Of these 42 were candidates for the degree of doctorate at the University at Paris

PORKER VALUES DROP OFF Is CENTSR
REASSE SSMENT
DECISION GIVEN
Changes Must Be for Whole
State, Court Holds.

Plans OF the State tax board for
an immediate real estate reassess-
ment in several localities in the
State have been frustrated, it was
believed today, by Supreme Court
decision that all reappraisals must
be for the State as a whole and not
by individual taxing units.
Because of the higher tribunals
reversal of a Lake Superior Court
decision. 1t will be necessary for the
tax board to call off reassessments
ordered for Washington Township,
Marion County, and Scott and Arm
strong Townships, Vanderburgh
county. A rehearing of the case,
however, probably will be sought by
the board.
Nothing in the decision would
prevent the tax board from ordering
a Statewide reassessment at any
time. The next statutory reassess-
ment will be in 1929. The case was
founded on an appeal of William
Hasse, a Lake County taxpayer,
from decision Of the Lake Superior
Court holding that Walter F. Belle
field, Hammond city treasurer,
should collect certain increased
taxes ordered by the State board.

GRAIN MARKET
CLOSES WEAKER
Early Strength Evaporates
as Futures Drop.

Bg United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 6.--Grain futures
dropped in today's short session on
the Chicago Board Of Trade today.
Wheat weakened and the bear in
fiuences spread to small grains.
Increased pressure within the last
half hour of trade was responsible
for wheat's fractionally lower finish.
For the main part of the session
values moved within a narrow
range.
A squirt of buying by eastern
houses and shorts, based on the I'M
expected strength in Liverpool, ran
opening prices up sharply. Pressure
at the finish followed entrance Of
commission houses as sellers.
Stop loss selling weakened corn.
Commission house buying on resting
orders for a short spell gave the
market a healthy undertone. The
late weakness in wheat caused gem
eral backing away.
Oats followed other grains.
Provisions dropped in general sell
ing.
