LEST WE FORGET

Rev. Samuel K Wilson, S. J., research
professor of history of Loyola University,
Chicago, in an address in May, 1927, in
which he discussed student life in colonial
colleges, declared that Yale students at
one time were limited to 20 barrels of
beer year. This means that Yale stu
dent in those days was compelled to make
a barrel of beer hold out for two and
half weeks. No doubt the vets who are
deploring the lawful drinking proclivi-
ties of the present-day college student
wonders how the Yale student of those
years got along on such short rations.

problem at all in a large percentage of
the schools. The two notable exceptions
are Princeton and Wisconsin universities.
Responses came from every section of the
country. The survey was conducted by

WHAT HENRY FORD SAYS

Henry Ford is quoted by the United
Presbyterian, January, 1927, as saying
that prohibition has reduced drinking
among his workmen to a point where ii
can be easily handled Before prohibition
each group of 5000 contained 100 who
gave trouble because of drinking Now
there are not as many as 10 in each group
who give trouble on account OF drinking.

Bubble SeXtant
Proves Popular
In Navy Circles

WASHINGTON, Dee. 31.-A de-
sign for a bubble sextant used in
navigation to determine horizon
distances, and submitted to the
navy by the late Lieut.. Comm. Noel
Davis, killed while preparing for a
Paris flight, may prove to be the
best instrument of its kind devel-
oped, the naval observatory's an
nual report said today.
Davis designed the sextant in CO.
operation with M. L. Branford, of
the navy's ordnance bureau, short
ly before he met death when his
giant plane crashed in Virginia
while on a trial flight. 1t gives
promise, the report said, of being
the best solution offered for deter
ming an artificial horizon, so neces-
sary to navigation. The navy has
ordered 10 of the instruments.

MAIDEN, Mas, Dec. 31.- The
church s greatest need at present IS
for larger evangelistic emphasis :
the revival spirit, in the opinion of
Rev. f. Stuart Best, 103, the
world s oldest Methodist minister.
Born only Is years after Lincoln,
Dr.. Best, after career which could
scarcely be crammed into two ordi-
nary lifetimes, still enjoys good
health and hopes to celebrate many
more birthdays.
His kindly face, unmarked by the
burdens of century, glowed with
d still youthful enthusiasm as he
told the United Press, in an inter
view, his views on church progress
Of recent years and on the outlook
for the future.
Asked if the youth Of today were
rs interested in religion as those of
lalf a century ago, DR.. Best said:
"The young people in older days
were more enthusiastic about their
religion. Now they are wider and
deeper in their thinking-more sys-
tematic.
'.It is harder to turn one away
from religion now, when one has
settled the matter, because it has
been thought through more thor
oughy
How do the ministers of today
compare with those of earlier
ycars?' he was asked.
Nowadays ministers are deeper
thinkers he replied. "They arc
more original. Ministers of the past
were more fervent.'
A combination of the evangelical
fcrvor and the intellectual ad-
'ancement of the day was desirable,
he believed. -,
Dr. Best said the greatest ad-
vance made by the church recently
was in the matter of intellectual
progress. -
''The people will not revert to
the earlier ways to attain the deep.
or spirituality,' he continued, "but
it will have to come through a
greater revival than any that has
gone before. ;,
DIR. Best was asked what he con-
siiered the prospects for world
peace.
- think that wherever the gos-

distant points, has been maintained d
III favor of. western production to
supply western requirements. This
is, of course, substantially in favor
of the western producer who is sup
plying only a small portion of the
western pork demand.
The cattle situation differs some
what, having as it does the seasonal
grass movement, which many years
causes an oversupply during a short
period, making necessary the i'm
portation of supplies during the
balance of the year. However, with
the growing tendency toward feed
lot operations and a continued trend
toward production going into the
hands of the smaller producers, it Is
likely that the time is not far dis
tant when the supply will be dis
tributed throughout the year in the
west on all classes of livestock,
bringing about production at points
closer to the metropolitan consum-
ing centers.
With the phenominal increase be-
ing experienced in population on
the Pacific coast, overproduction is
very unlikely if the medium of pro
per distribution is given the atten-
tion which it deserves. 1t is not
unlikely that substantial increase
in the production of all lines of live
stock could be safely absorbed, par
ticularly in hogs, throughout the
west if the production were pro-
perly allocated so that a year round
distribution to the western outlets
could be accomDlished.

Clemenceau Sells $
War Time Auto

PARIS, Fec. 31,-Georges Glenn
enceau, the Tiger eff war days,
has sold his automobile, the car in
which he dashed to the front to
look over the situation and inspire
the troops with the confidence he
himself felt all the time, Now that
lc is Sc he wanted a new car, one
with all modern comforts and lux
ury.
The old car is in garage and
when a favored customer asks for
an automobile for a race day the
proprietor says to him: "How a.
bout taking out the car of Monsieur
l. President Clemenccau?' If he
is so honored it is because the pro
prietor knows that he is dealing
with a man who will feel flattered

A. E. F.Song
Stirs Trouble

PARIS Dee. 31.-There is a pop
uiar refrain in France, which mem
bass of the A.E.F. picked up with
JOY, in which derision is poured on
the "chef de garc,' or station
master because he is regarded as al
ways having an unfaithful wife.
Two young men returning from
football match chanted this refrain
on the railroad station at Limoges
and, on the complaint of the sta
;lon master there, were sent to Jail
for month.
Recently the assistant station
master at one of the big Paris ter
minals made a similar complaint
against group of boisterous trav-
ellers waiting for train. They
got out of it by explaining to the
irate Official that the song was di-
rected at the station master, not at
one of his assistants.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31.-Somc
philosopher has said. '' invariably if
there is one thing we always want
more than any other, it is some
thing else.''
This is true of agriculture as in
other lines and, no doubt, to a GER
tain extent represents healthy un-
rest or what has been termed a
"cheerful discomfort" However,
when evidenced to an unreasonable
degree, particularly in agricultural
production, there is always danger
of recurring overproduction, par,
ticularly in viewing the matter from
a sectional territorial standpoint.
That is, taking hogs for instance,
an increased production endanger-
ing price levels might appear in the
corn belt without seriously affect
ing the western producers oppor-
tunity to continue to expand their
production program, until it reaches
the point where production meets
western demand.
This has been illustrated in the
past few weeks during which time
declining hog market has been
experienced throughout the country,
but with the maintenance of the
differential in price in favor of the
coast markets which has averaged
around $500 per cwt. over the
Missouri. river markets.
In the past week, although eastern
prices have declined to around $500
per cwt. and the coast markets have
declined to $10.25. per cwt. it will
be noted that the proper ratio, rep
