American Inquiries Please.

While limiting the number of admis-
sions of American students to 7e year,
officials of the University of Edinburgh,
Scotland, consider the number of appli-
cants from this country as a compli-
ment because of the many important
institutions of higher education here.
More than 500 American inquiries for
places have been received. In explain
ing the limiting of admissions from
America, officials point to the fact that
at least 613 of the students who were
graduated last year were from overseas.

 Mining and smelling securi- ties are in the spotlight on the big exchange in New York and have scored sensational advances during the past few weeks in the face of depression n other stocks listed on that board. That great activity in mining securities in New York IS an advertisement for the mining industry that is speedi- ly overcoming the nasty prop aganda that has been peddled % the detriment of this great industry.

APPROACHING.

Advertisements are beginning to appear with decorations of holly and mistletoe and smiling faces of Santa Claus. To the observant these ad frescoes tell their own story, give their own warning, hint at the im- portant business from which none is barred and in which sooner of later everybody will be engaged.
 In other words, Christmas shopping. The holiday is only month ahead and there are only "A shopping days left. In no time these days will pass. Every year more sensible persons do their Christmas shopping early. They reap all the advantages in variety of
  selection and leisure of choice and when Christmas Eve come. they can proceed about theil last-minute holiday tasks or derly, while the others fume and sputter.
 Americans are a great people never to do today what can be done tomorrow. The post office department is urging early posting of Christmas mail but the last days will probably be bigger than ever. AS ever the train will leave at 5:15 but the cars will not fill up until 5:14.
 But we get there even if we are a last-minute nation, al- though it is at a tremedous cost of physical energy and mental upsets. The Christmas shopping season is merely one phase of a national temper ament.

WHY BE AN EDITOR

Running a newspaper is just like running a hotel only diff ferent," remarks an exchange, in discussing some of the trials and tribulations of newspaper ing. When a man goes into a hotel and finds something on the table which does not suit him, he does not get up and raise hades with the landlord and tell him to stop his danged old hotel.
 "Well hardly,
 "He just sets that dish on one side and wades into some of the many dishes that do suit.
 Tt is different with some newspaper readers. They find an article occasionally that does not suit them exactly and, without stopping to think it may please hundreds of other readers, make a grandstand display of their supreme assi- ninity and hasten to stop their paper"
 And, we may add, it happens far oftener than most readers would think possible.

THINK IT OVER!

Before you mail that Christ mas order for merchandise to an outside concern think it ov- CT few minutes. Perhaps you'll change your mind about mailing it. And if you can get the kind of articles you wish here, you should do so.
 If you cannot, that is another matter, but we should always remember that the dollar sent out of town is gone forever.

fifty millions in dividends. Utah and Nevada Coppers, owned by Kennecott, had great mountains of low grade ore and talk of profitably treating the same was laugh ed at. But mining and milling brains, minus blue sky laws, turned the trick and they have paid hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends. Hundreds of other prospects have become great mines in like manner.
 There is one fact that stands out as we analyze the situat- ion. The demand for metals is growing and these great companies that have arrived are making immense profits. That is the incentive that causes men who use their brains to enter the mining business. If there are great profits for the big companies, the little fellows are bound to get their share. That is the reason that good prospects in the mining districts are be- ing picked up and held. There is a better day for the industry just around the corner.

PoNSELLE-SALyI RECITAL.

Rosa Ponselle, the American soprano
Of Italian ancestry. who is considered
hy many 70 be the greatest woman
singer on the concert stage OF this
country today. was received with warm
enthusiasm by the critical audience at
lending the last of the current series
OF musical programs given yesterday
morning al the Mayfiower. under the
auspices Of Mrs. Lawrence Townsend.
Miss Ponselle is great singer not
solely because she has q superb ma
tural voice. but because she also has
worked hard and continuously. over
coming many obstacles and developing
her singing into real art. There are
those who have heard the leading
voices Of this country and Europe even
50 recently as the past Summer who
hold that Rosa Ponselle has no equal
today. Moreover. she Is continually
climbing and improving.
In her concert programs she restraints
and refines the brilliant dramatic art
that has made her leading prima donna
Of the Metropolitan Opera Co. The
delicacy Of her singing Of "L'Oiseau
.Bleu." by Decrens, and the Rimsky-
Korsakof Nightingale and the Rose:
the mysticism that she brought out in
Wagners 'Traume": the impetuous
Ck21lm Oh A1kSCASnlS he Loves Me,
He Loves Ne Not" and the grooming
lullaby Of Max Roger all were beau
ftfully sung. The full voice. and dra-
matte art had their turn In "Returna
yincitor." from Aida" and the final
encore. 'Vissi d'Arte." from La Tosca."
Throughout the program Stuart Ross
mas an excellent accompanist.
Alberto Salvi. who. with his instru-
ment, the harp. is another musical
genius. shared with Miss Ponselle the
warm approval that the audience gave
e5uncantly. The preciseness of Bach's
