Buffers Thirty Years.
(New York Times.)

The American college president, as Professor Lash writes in the current Harper's, is "a unique institution without a European analogue. "The Harvard of Eliot, the Yale of Hadey the Chicago of Harper are almost epochs in the intellectual life of American civilization" To this illustrative list time will add the Columbia of Butler With all the 5000 members of it's staff Columbia is Nicholas Murray Butler His thirty years and those that follow will be permanently his in the history of an institution which under his guidance. has risen to take it's place among the great universities of the centures since Abelard, "by the audacty of his opinions the eclat of his life, his passion for controversy his talent for instruction" con- tributed to the intellectual movement from which the University of Paris issued in the thirteenth century.
 Abelard gathered around him "a multitude of human beings" But that multitude without trance examination, was, after all, small when compared with the tens of thousands who after ap proved tests throng the halls of this modern Abeard who responding to the call of scholarship went first to drink at the inexhaustble fountains" of the older world culture under Jowett at Balia Eel Ter and Paulsen at Berlin Taine Lavisse and Fus- tel de Couange in Paris Incidentally, there intimate speech with Gladstone Cardinal Newman, Bismarck and Pope Leo XIII From such inspiring contacts he returned to begin the task of university building with counsels of the elder Angen of Nich- gan Andrew White of Cornell Gilman of Hopkins, Eliot and Harper and in the midst of the intel lectual, social and economic capital of the New World.

Albert Jay Mock has termed much of what is offered by colleges still finds modern ways of inspiring uplifting and guid ing mankind The greatest spirits of all ages still live and among the hosts Morningside Heights, though they jostled by those who seek only practical diseiplines Professor Lasi's defin ton of university is "a company of scholars whose gaze is turned to the contemplation of the eternal -an institution that has concern with immediate values. On such heights of transfiguration one would like to build tabernacles apart, but the spirit must after all dwell with men in everyday ac tivities if the university is to accomplish it's high est purpose-if the Great Tradition which President Butler calls greatest inheritance" is to be kept alive in democracy.

OUGHT TO MAINTAIN CONTACT.

Alaska will not be included in any regional rep resentation on the re-organzed advisory Commission of Migratory Wild Fowl. Secretary Arthur M. Hyde of the Department of Agriculture, who killed Aaskas farm experiment stations, and last Fall restricted the migratory wild fowl hunting in the Terri tory in such to make it impossible for many Alaskans to legally kill game needed for food purposes finds that it wont be necessary for the Territory be represented since he already keeps in touch with Alaskan game conditions through the Alaska Game Commission.
 There is no question that the local Commission is an ideal source of information But the fact re- mains that it was not consulted about last Falls "duck edict" and it's representations in the matter were pointedly ignored It to prevent the repe- tition of such incidents that the Juneau Chamber of Commerce petitioned Secretary Hyde to give the Territory representation his regional advisory board. The importance of it's extensive breeding grounds for wild fowl is great enough to justify such representation However if the request of the Chamber is sufficient to prod Washington into keeping the Alaska Game Commission informed on such subjects and to consult it before making ad- dtional restrictions local game it is not important that Secretary Hyde has other ideas about his own Commissions makeup.

brought increasing numbers of sightseers, fishermen hunters and yachtsmen to a land once known through publicity as Stewards Icebox" Advertising has brought near to fruition giant projects for the establishment of pulp and paper mills in a coastal forest open to easy development and accessible by water the year round-a forest capable of supplying in perpetuity a quarter of the American newsprint demand at the present rate of consumption.
 Advertising has brought to Alaska itself a keen appreciation and extensive use of exceptionally complete local newspapers, of modern schools, of rapid transportation and of aggressive business methods.
 Advertising is investing Alaska with an unlimited future industrial development with out robbing it of the glamour which is right fully hers.

DARROW TELLS STORY OF HIS
 LIFE IN BOOK
Grim e Problem, Prohibii- ton, Religious Ques-
 tions Discussed
By WARE TORREY

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Clarence Darrow's half-century career in the courts has been so inseparably linked with widely publicized cases that his autobiography, The Story of My Life,' becomes immediately summary of Americas most fla nous criminal trials.
 T5e defender of Eugene V. Debs, Vim. D. Big Bill Haywood, the NcNamara brothers, Leopold-Loeb and the theory of evolution n sketches his own history in terms of events that successively monop- olized headlines throughout the world.
 Darrow stepped cut of the role of general attorney for large rail- road to defend Debs, who ironical- ly had been indicted for conspiracy in connection with a railroad labor fight, the Pullman strike. There after he remained in the thick of the bitter fight for the organized workers.
 In describing the Scopes evolu- ton trial at Dayton, Tennessee, Darrow reaches the climax of his story, striking vigorously at his op- ponents and particularly at William Jennings Bryan, with whom he broke after twice stumping the country in behalf of the Common CTS presidential aspirations.
 Much of the autobiography is de- voted to exhaustive argument for changed conception of the crime problem, prohibition, religious ard court reforms.

ADVERTISING AND ALASKA.

The distinction between publicity and advertising and the accomplishments of the latter for Alaska are set forth in the Cordova Times in recen article by Edson R. Waite of Shawnee Okla homa, who under the heading, Did You Ever StoI to Think" said
 Publicity is not advertising. Publicity made Alaska glamorous land of ice and snow and Eskimos. Rationalized advertising, even with in the modest means available to 60O00 Alaskans inhabiting a country one-fifth as large as the entire continental United States, has made Alaska land of beauty, industry and great future promise.
 Advertising has sent to all parts of the world the canned salmon that furnishes Alaska it's largest industry. Advertising has

NUGGET BRIDGE PROBLEM NO. 8
 s 0L U I l Q N

This problem is given just to teach one to stop and think and realize that in Bridge, just as in all other things, there are excep- tions to the Rule.
 We copied it from a well known Bridge Teachers Book and as his solution is no clearer or briefer than that of Mrs. Addie Holbrook, we will quote her.
 Problem What should East play, and why?
 Answer; East should play any Spade but his Queen.
 When West leads the two of Spades, he should be leading his fourth best. Counting four Spades in Dummy and four in his own hand. East reaizes that South can have only one Spade, and the bid ding indicates the Ace. A glance at the Hearts in Dummy and his own hand confirms this, as South should have three Suits stopped to bid No Trump, and he has no stop per in Hearts. To play the Queen will be to needlessly sacrifice it and make ten in Dummy take the fourth trick
 For the skilful handling of this problem, we award to Mrs. Hol- brook one of the new and clever little Scorettes for Bridge. These clamp onto the Bridge Table and contain continuous roll of proper ly ruled paper, little metal table to write on, and magazine pencil is attached They are neat, handy and harmonious, and the single dol lar we ask for one of them seems miserably small in comparison.

CHANGES URGED
IN TERMINALS

Three proposed changes IN
terminals Of Capital Traction
Company lines were approved to-
day by the Public Utilities Com
mission. Letters seeking the re-
action of the company on the
proposals will be sent out.
The most important change is
at the terminal of the Seven
teenth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue Southeast line. The COM
mission, on recommendation of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, favors
abandonment of the present loop
through K Street. The new ap-
proved terminal calls for laying
tracks in the Commodore Barney
Circle, which is to be developed
at this point.
A second terminal change
urged the company to use its
own lots on the east side of the
Fourteenth Street and Colorado
Avenue Northwest loop in order
to relieve traffic congestion. The
third change calls for cutting
back the sidewalk on the south
side of M Street at the Navy
Yard terminal.

Large Delegation Appear Be-
fore Prince Georges
Commissioners

Protesting the proposed re-
duction in the teaching staff
Of the Baden (Md.) Agricul-
tural High School, a large
delegation of citizens of that
community appeared before
the Prince Georges county
commissioners and school board
today.
The proposed slash, it was
learned today, will affect three
high schools of the county. These
schools are at Baden, Hyattsvillei
and Brandywine.
Limit to Teachers
In a letter to the heads Of the
three institutions, Nicholas Orem,
superintendent of Prince Georges
county schools, explained that the
necessity Of cutting expenses had
affected the budget and prompted
the State Department Of Educa-
ton to issue new regulations for
V44C 14un1UC1 "a GCdN44OA0 AAANnSA
in high schools.
The new State regulation, it
was said, allows 2.5 teachers for
high schools with enrollments
from 80 to 80 pupils, and four
teachers for schools of so to 81
pupils. It was declared that Ba'
den, under this ruling, has %
teachers too many; Hyattsville,
1.75, and Brandywine, 1.6.
Up to Principals
In his letter to the principals
Mr.. Orem said: 4
"This is to notify you that I
will not undertake to secure
from the county sufficient funds
to give you the excess teachers
next year. If you are to have
them, it will be through the
efforts Of yourself or your COM
munity."

Lindbergh Home Was
 Made Joyous To-day
(continued from Page 1)

There Mrs Lindbergh waited and there the second son was born today.
 The first Lindbergh child was born at 3:15 p. m. on June 22. 1880, Mrs Lindbergh's 24th birthday, and the scene at the home was 0 strik- ing contrast to the quiet, peaceful scene there today.
 For months the world had been waiting eagerly for announcement of the birth of the, first child. No more interest was shown in the expected birth of a royal heir. Newspaper reporters converged on the Englewood home of the Nor rows and Lindberghs. They mass ed in front of the high gates, awaiting announcement of the birth of child to Americas most famous couple.
 Then Colonel Lindbergh decided to fly to the Pacific coast. Mrs Lindbergh accompanied him. They came back at record breaking pace from Los Angeles to. New York. The world "sat in" on that flight, praying that all would be well.
 When the colonel stepped out of his plane and assisted Mrs Lind bergh to ,alight, she appeared happy but weary. She said the flight had been tremendous de- light to her.
 She returned to the Morrow estate. There, on June 22, the
