SEAT OF LEARNING
IN OLD POITIERS
One OF Eurcpe's Oldest Insti-
tutions.

The University of Poitiers, one Of
Europe's Oldest institutions of learn
ing, celebrated its five hundredth an
niyersary recently, in the little town
of western France whose streets have
echoed to the tread of more than 20
generations of students.
THE town is all that a university
town should be, relatively small Git
has $1,000 inhabitants), quiet, un-
troubled by much industry, pictur-
esque, and rich in mellow old monu-
ments of the past" says the Ma
tional Geographic society. ut lies
midway between the English channel
and the Pyrenees and about 70 miles
inland from the Bay of Biscay.
THE English are really RESPONSE
BILE for the existence of the Univer-
sity of Poitiers. Charles VII created
the institution in 1882 because Paris
had fallen into the hands of the Eng
liSh, who also controlled the Univer-
sity of Paris. The French parlia-
ment had moved to Poitiers shortly
before. BY the close of the Fif-
teenth century the new university
had a student body of approximately
1000, made up not only of French
men, but also of Italians, Flemings,
Scots and Germans.
1.-The most interesting structure in
the city is the temple of ST. JEAN
which is credited with being the old
est Christian monument in France.
1t was built as baptistry, possibly
as early as the Fourth century, and
was enlarged to serve as n parish
church in the Seventh century. The
floor of the stone structure is now
about ten feet below the level of the
bordering street. 1t is used as a
museum of local antiquities.
Three battles have done more
than all else to make POitiers famous.
All were fought at some distance
from the town, but all were given its
name.
"At the first so-called Battle of
Poitiers, in 507, Clovis defeated the
visogoths at the second. in 732,
Charles Martel saved Christendom
by overcoming the Mohammedan
hosts; and at the third, in 1856. the
British Black Prince defeated the
French King John"

Soybean as Emergency
Hav Crop Recommended


Those who are In need OF an
emergency hay crop may well con-
slider s0ybeans for that purpose
because of their high content Of
protein and good yielding quality.
As a roughage for dairy or beef
cattle ii Is almost the equal OF al
faIfa.
In fact when soys are seeded on
land on which two or three crops
Of weeds have been destroyed be
fore seeding, they will often do
better than earlier seedlings for
which the seed bed has not been
as thoroughly prepared.
In the early stages OF growth
soybeans are not particularly good
weed fighters and hence the de
STABILITY of killing as many weeds
as possible before seeding.
While sudan grass also makes a
good emergency hay crop. 1t is not
quite so palatable as soybeans and
much below the latter in protein
content. Protein is by far the
most expensive element in any live
stock ration. hence the more Of 1t
one can produce at home the less
supplementary protein concentrates
need be purchased. Every bit Of
protein one can add to ration for
cattle and other animals In the
shape Of a hay crop is just that
much gain.-Wisconsin Agricultur-

Cure Hay Before Baling

Hay that is baled from the wind
row, even though it is apparently
dry. must still go through a nat
ural sweat and in most cases will,
when going through this sweat,
spoil in the bale, states A. NJ. Mare
mont of the Chicago Hay company.
Every year a number of farmers
who are over-anxious to dispose of
their hay, send in freshly baled
hay and when they get the returns
for it, are disappointed.
Hay should be put in stack or
NOW until it has gone through the
sweat. After that it can be safely
baled and marketed and will be In
good condition.-Prairie Farmer.

Two tenement houses at 6as- 643.645 North Riverside street were badly damaged by fire this noon hour when a still explooeo in the kitchen of a three-family residence and provided the start of a lively blaze.
 Residents of nearby homes, startled by the explosion and the rapid spread of the flames regis tered two alarms within less than two minutes of each other. F1ve companies of apparatus were sent in response to the calls from BOX 32 and Box 322 which recorded the alarms at 12:22 and 12:24 o'clock. .oo
 Anthony Chuinskas, 52, of 639 Riverside street occupant Of the tenement in which the fire started was arrested as he staggered out of the burning house into the street, carrying with him the wreckago of a small homemade still. He was scorched about the head and face, but in the excitement paio no attention to his wounds. He was locked up on the charge oi manufacturing and keeping liquor The remnants of the still and sev. eral small kegs, containing apou, |15 gallons of moonshtne ana liauor were sent into police head, quarters by Patrolman Fred Hickey of the emergency squad who investigated the still angle ol

the affair. Sergeant Hugh Fla herty and Sergeant Luke Errfco were in charge of the squad of po- licemen hurriedly dispached to the scene when the two fire alarms were recorded and following sev- eral excited telephone messages to police headquarters.
 Within a few minutes time six lines of big hose were playing on the burning houses The fire com- pletely wrecked the rear of the house at e39 Riverside street, prac- tically gutting the interior from the first floor to the roof. Bremen were obliged to do considerable chopping which contributed to the extensive damages to the house.
 The flames at the outset of the fire spread to a four-family house at 643-645 North Riverside street. Bremen promptly played two lines of hose on this building and stop ped the spread of the fire at this particular point. They were then in a position to devote their full time and energies to checking the flames in the dwelling in which the explosion occurred.
 Chief Henry H. Heitman directed the members of the five companies in battling the fire. Thousands of tons of water were thrown into the building to extinguish the fire and to eliminate any possible danger of serious conflagation resulting. The building at 635-637 North Riverside street was also endanger- ed for a few minutes, but the vigil ance of the firemen prevented this possibility from materializing. Several thousand spectators were attracted to the scene by the re- ports concerning the explosion of the still and the two houses on fire. It required special trip by Patrol man Charles McWeeney with the police patrol to carry the wrecked still and equipment to police head quarters.
 The damage to the buildings will exceed $5,000 according to esti- mates made early this afternoon.
 Three companies of fire appara- tus were still fighting the fire at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
