 "The whole thing started out as a student prank" Jenkins said. We were drunk at the time and as we became drunker we lost all sense of the seriousness of the thing which we were doing.
 "It was in October, when we were drunk. that the damage occurred. It is true that we went into the chapel and threw the crucifix into the bush- es outside and did other damage there.

Maxii1ns For Dressers..

Culled from the Works of Joseph Addison, English Poet, Statesman and essay ist. He has been recognized universally as the greatest master of English prose. (W. J. M.) Be plain in dress and sober in your diet. A surfeit is bad in either direction.
 Be not the first by whom the new is tried, nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
 Fashion in man has all the dif- ference made. The superiority of the modern over the caveman is a matter of clothes.
 Fine feathers make fine birds. Successful clothes proclaim suc- cessful men.
 Worth make the man and want of 1t the fellow, but well-fiitted clothes are often the indication of worth.
 He who esteems trifles in dress for themselves is trifier, but he who esteems them for their effect on others is a philosopher.
 The most desirable quality in at tire is neatness, the most vulgar is eccentricity.
 Attention to clothes is the duty we owe others. Cleanliness in clothes is the duty we owe our- selves.
 Dress so that people may say = what a gentlemanly man-not what slovenly fellow?
 A fool may bedeck himself with startling attire, but a perfect fool cannot dress well. That requires judgment.
 NOTE:-It is our earnest desire in the present emergency to con- tinue employment to the fullest extent in order that wages to our workreople may not be unduly diminished.
 To carry out this policy it Is es- sential that customers should sup port us as far as they possibly can. WE ADMIT WE'RE WORK ING OURSELVES FOR NOTH- ING AT THE PRESENT TIME. WE ARE GIVING EVERY THING TO OUR WORKFOLK. LOOK US UP WHEN YOU WANT SOME NEW CLOTHES. William J. Mahon

Canada Is Only Nation to Solve
 Drink Problem

Paris, February 12 - (UP) - Canada is the only country in the world that has solved the drink problem sanely, Professor Armand Delille said in an address on prohi- bition at the Sorbonne today.
 The sanity of the Canadian sys- tenn consisted in abolishing saloons and still permitting drinking by a reasonable method of distribution, Professor Delille said. The United States might well profit by taking a lesson from Canada, he said.

The Census Bureau DismisSals.

While there will be sympathy for the
Census once clerks who have been
dismissed for violation of q rule for
bidding them to leave their desks dur
ing working hours without permission,
for it Is q serious matter in such times
as these to lose position, 1t must be
said that they have only themselves to
blame for their misfortune. The rule
Of the bureau is explicit. The penalty
for its violation Is definite. The reason
for the rule against smoking is sound.
Those who have persisted in taking
time of" for indulgence in occasional
whif1s or for exercise have simply suf-
fered the inevitable fate Of the breaker
of rules.
It Is urged by the Census Bureau
oficials that these dismissals have not
been incident to the curtailnnent Of the
force due to the slowing down OF the
work OF the decennial count. Yet 1t
is obvious that there must be reductions
during the year and the selection of
the victims of this necessity cannot
but be influenced by considerations such
as rule breaking. and failure Of disci-
pline. In other words, in q large estab-
lishment such as the Census Once,
decennially inflated by the need Of the
national count and debated when the

count Is over, the casualties" are TO
some extent controlled by the behavior
Of the individuals.
One hundred per cent perfect per-
Torrance is not to be expected in any
large group Of workers. 1t is hopeless
to look for ideal Behavior on their part.
Personal variations from the norm Of
conduct are tolerated to a certain
degree, but when the breaking of rules
becomes general or largely prevalent
something must be done TO prevent de-
moralization. II two or three unauthor-
lied walks and smokes q day are toll
Grated, half dozen may be, or q score.
The habit grows with permission. Per-
haps this disciplinary measure just
taken in the Census once was drastic,
but evidently 1t was necessary to pre-
vent the complete breakdown Of morale.
1t may be assumed that there will be no
more Trouble on the score Of needless
lapses from duty.

The Monument Beacon.

With a fund of $4,000 available for
ment to make the shaft visible to night
flying aviators, the Director Of Public
Buildings and Public Parks is proceed
Ing with plans for this work. Two
great searchlights are to be obtained
at once, to be SO placed as to illuminate
the four sides Of the 55-foot tip. Mean
while q study is being made Of the
proper method Of illuminating the shaft
itself, the great INSTRUMENTATION
stretch Of masonry. This is not as
simple q matter as would seem at first
thought. Batteries of lights must be
SO placed as to sweep the Monument
evenly from bottom to top. They must
Re at suflcient distance from the shaft
TO place 1t within the range OF full
power CT illumination. The equipment
cannot be moved back and forth. for
it is heavy. and, furthermore, must be
served with current from established
lines. 1t Is undesirable to have the
apparatus housed In unsightly struc-
lures and now an effort Is being made
to design containers" that can be used
as rest benches during the day.
When night flying began in this
vicinity the Washington Monument was
the terror of pilots. The comparatively
feeble light thrown upon the upper part
of the shaft from one Of the hotels did
not make it sufficiently visible to be
surely avoided Red lights were re-
Gently placed in the windows Of the tip,
but these, while visible at close range,
were not surely identifiable from the
heights at which planes were usually
flown toward the city. While the ex-
perienced pilot knows his landmarks
thoroughly, q fixed red light is not an
assured guide.
1t Is confidently expected that there
will be a great increase in night 1iying
between Washington and other cities.
Already the day service makes the
lane" between Washington and Newark,
for example, quite the busiest in the
world. There must be no high dangers
near this airport, and the illumination
Of the Washington Monument-which
incidentally will make the shaft glory
by night as by day-will eliminate the
most serious peril to flying in darkness.
