ELLEN SCRIPTS
COLLEGES FOR
WOMEN OPENED
Newton D. Baker Speaks in
Praise of Founder and
Her Ideals.
BY MAX STERN

CLAREMONT, Cal, Oct. l8.-The
oxford idea of intimate" educa-
ton in place of what he called mass
production of university graduates
was hailed here as one Of Americas
noteworthy movements by ESwton
D. Baker, ex-secretary of war,
principal speaker at the opening of
the Scripps College for Women,
founded by Miss Ellen Browning
Scripps.
Baker welcomed the new idea be-
hind Claremont colleges as as an
important cultural step in this
country and as a solution Of the
problem of overcrowded State uni
versities.
The Claremont idea of small fed
Grated colleges of limited student
bodies, but manned by the> ablest
faculties available, he said, will pro-
vide ordered knowledge and q
spirit restrained and refined by con-
tact with cultured people"
Calls for Peace Safeguard
Calling on educators to safeguard
peace and democracy, Baker painted
far from rosy picture. He quoted
H. G. Wells on THE Next War;"
scheduled to take place between
America and England in twenty
years.
"As I-survey the horizon, see no
cloud the size of a mans hand
warning of a clash between these
two dominant civilizations of the
world" said Baker, yet wars do
come, and unless the world is TO
have a fresh deluge of blood. there
must come some Intervention of the
mind and spirit of mankind"
Bakers address was prefaced by
tribute to the life of Miss Scripps,
who founded and endowed the
Claremont colleges. He praised her
as IAN unpretentious, silent, serene,
and gracious lady, who has blessed
the new undertaking by her
benefaction and baptized it by her
spirit"
"She never has lost her superb
curiosity, nor her devotion to things
of permanent benefit to mankind"
he said. "Of the great women l
have known, none has so wide a
concern for the things of the mind,
so deep a sympathy for the things
of the spirit"
Worlds Eyes On Experiment
Tucked away in the upland orange
groves under the shadow Of Old
Badly is the small university which
the eyes of the academic world are
watching. Its buildings are fitted
to the scene, Mediterranean in archi-
lecture, with gardens, patios and
spacious lawns.
The mother college is Pomona,
forty years old, which has only $50
students and turns away twice that
many each year.
Scripps, the new unit, Is the only
gi'ls college in the Southwest, and
has begun with fifty givls and a not
able faculty, headed by President
Ernest j. Jaqua.

public places as further evidence OF
the publics reluctance to take the
proper care of itself physically.
1.-THE toothbrush is one of the
most important instruments Of gooo
health" DR.. Morgan said.
At least 10000 persons a year in
indianapolis are forced to forego the
solace of a toothbrush for varying
lengths of time during the twelve
months. They are the guests OF the
Marion county Jail.
Sheriff Omer Hawkins has banned
them because toothpaste, smeared
over iron bars, will conceal saw or
file marks for indefinite lengths or
time, until the bars are cut N two.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-The stock
market was in weakened position
at the outset today, with prices
lower. Rallying tendencies made
themselves felt in various sections
soon after the opening, however,
and better levels resulted in some
specials.
General Motors and other motor
shares were still nervous, due to
the latest blast on Ford prospects.
General Motors opened at 134A, off
n; then dropped to 134A. Vel
low Truck also sold down fraction
ally as did Studebaker and several
others of the group.
United States Steel reacted a
point to 142%, while Sears-R oebuck,
other mercantile issues, oils and
utilities sold off.
Some of the oils strengthened
particularly Phillips Pete, which is
to profit by large southwestern
natural gas merger. Pathe featured
amusements with a siX-point ad-
vance.
Mondays sweeping declines in the
general list forced liquidation in
many weakly margined accounts in
early dealings. Selling of this kind
subjected the general list to further
heavy pressure in early dealings and
new lows on the movement were
rachel by principal industrials.
Outside news was generally favor
able, especially forecast by Sen
ator Smoot of tax reduction OF
$500, 900, 900, in the next Congress.
The market, however, was too en-
crossed by developments within it
self to pay attention to other
factors.
Considerable irregularity marked
price movements around noon. Raj
living tendencies in industrial lead
ers were fairly well maintained, but
selling continued in various indi-
yidual issues.
Rails were held back by the ex-
pectation of September earning
statements which will appear to-
ward the end of the week. Car
loadings last month were approx
mately 4 per cent below September,
1924. Consequently reports of va
rious roads for the period will show
somewhat lower gross and probably
a considerably large reduction in
net due to the higher wage scales.
Interests bullish on the rails were
inclined to suspend activities until
the September statements were out
of the way.

Grain FUTURES
WORK DOWN ON
CHICAGO BOARD
Summer-Like Weather Dis
counts Steadying Fac
- tors in Wheat.

Blu United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 1s.-All grain fu-
lures worked generally lower during
a quiet session today on the Chi
cago Board of Trade.
Wheat opened erratically, with
lower tendencies and toward mid
session a general weakness was ap-
parent. Higher Liverpool cables
better milling demand, and high eX-
port figures, were steadying inf1u-
enceS. But these were outweighed
by summer-like weather in Canada
and greatly increased wheat move
nlent there. Exports we're 100000
bushels. Receipts were sixteen cars
and cash was u cent lower.
Corn opened very erratically and
also showed immediate weakness
Fair weather over the belt proved
even stronger bearish factor than
was anticipated, and the market
had little support. Trading was
quiet. Receipts were 1O9 cars and
cash unchanged.
Oats trading was quiet and prices
generally followed declines in wheat
and corn. Receipts we're thirty
three cars and cash was unchanged.
Provisions were fairly steady.
