 On the other hand, Frances scholars had little inclination for studies of any kind. To begin with, they were undernourished a d mothers were necessarily obliged to relax their discipline. It would have been extraordinary if they had &C., quired a taste for work in an at mosphere in which their elders were solely interested in organized sab otage of all Gc: man enterprises.
 Frances youth experienced many of the thrills of gangsters life during the occupation. Their delin- quency did more damage than Allied and enemy bombs. But the youth of France a1so gave countless proofs of courage and audacity. In every one of the ParLsian college clandestine newspapers were regularly circulated and always found 4' cir way to the head matters desk.

Women S Ban Meets Favor

Cambridge, Mass, Feb 14 - GU. p - Women are all right in their place -- but not in the traditionally Men Only" Harvard Clubs a number of Harvard undergraduates agreed today.
 IL all started yesterday when United Press Correspondent Joan Younger entered the Harvard Club in New York and walked up to the third floor, only to discover that no other woman had ever accomplished the feat.
 We can see all the women we want outside" commented Arnold w. Morse of Gake of the Isles Bou- lcyard Minneapolis, Minn, asso- ciatc editor of the Harvard Lampoon. Let's keep them out of our clubs. We have to have some place we can go where they won't follow us" Men have to get away from 1t all somehow" agreed William Brengle of q Beekman Place) New York City, senior.
 Its wise tradition" said an other Lampoon staff member, Lee Campbell of NorWood roaO Short Hills, N. J. "A man has to have a place where he can get away from women In fact I think the practice could be adopted anywhere, any time with profit"
 A naval ROTC student who re- fused to reveal his name said the Woman-ban was an old and wise tradition and added Let's keep 1t that way"
 That seemed to be the campus consensus - even on St. Valentines Day.

Senate Cold

 Dr. Calver claims that he can fix me with pill (and I'm going to let him try), but insist cold caught in the Senate is a Inysterl- ous and special disease, unlike colds caught elsewhere. My feet hurt. Whoever heard of an ordinary cold doing that?
 I think know the senator who sprinkled me with germs. He made speech at me and could feel it.. Damp. Why some senators have to dribble when they talk, do not know. Next time I venture into their sanctum, I'm going to wear a gauge mask, as in an obstetrical ward.
 The problem, in the meantime, is handkerchiefs. Lack of same.
 I tried four stores. Three had no handkerchiefs. The fourth had silk ones with pretty stripes around the edges. A silk handkerchief has no more chance keeping up with my cold than a parasol has of warding off typhoon. Achew.
 Eventually I found cigar store, which had handkerchiefs in paste- board boxes. The man would sell me three Who'd I think I was, he said. The only owner of a cold in the capital?
 So he's rationing handkerchiefs, like cigarets. never thought life would come to this. Let's stop her: minute while squirt myself with ephedrine.
 As for Dr. Calver, he is the at tending physician to 500-odd con- gressmen and senators, plus their clerks, plus the inhabitants of the press galleries. He has a staff of assistants and nurses and manages most of the time to keep his charges on their feet. He only wishes that they'd spend a little more of their

teen-aged boy in Normandy had noticed that German conveys often halted for the night not far from
 his parents ancestral home. He
 would creep out at night, crawl un- der the trucks and Syphon the gas- oline out of the tanks into hole he had dug at the bottom of the park. Then he Wodld go off to bed quietly like good boy.
 There were many boys of 16 in the EFT. Theoretically they could not be admitted to the ranks un- der 16-but it was the easiest thing in the world to forge birth certi- cate.
 Then too, young boys played a great part in the liberation of Paris. The papers at the time told the story of youngSter of IA who threw himself on a German tank with a bottle of gasoline and was blown up with 1t. These same boys collected arms from dead Germans to hand over to the FFI A few days after the arrival of American troops in the capital you could still see, placed at the foot of the wall on many a street corner, bunch of flowers tied with the tricolor and attached there to few lines written in d faltering hand running like this: Here lies Jean D ..

 Countless episodes have been re- vealed since the liberation, because in the underground movement sec recy was law. even in respect to parents. Many mothers were amazed to learn that their precious sons or daughters had done important, even dangerous work for the Resistance and had more than once escaped falling into the clutches of the Ges- tapo.
 French boys will need as much courage in the peace to come as in war, but it will be q different kind of courage. It has been hard tGi them to take Up their studies again after having lived through the episodes of thriller, But classes at the Sorbonne and else- where are already thronged. There is still talk among the youngsters of bren guns, grenadeS, dynamite and sabotage, but interest in Greek and Latin is beginning to revive.
 The men who control the des- tlnies of France are hopeful Shat French youth will preserve intact their enthusiasm and devotion to their country, while learning to live frankly and honestly, to respect the law and to work with 8 will. The greybeards know full well than an adventurous and audacious spirit is necessary for the reconstruction of a country.

Arab League Seen Rising
BY ELIAV SIMON

Jerusalem Feb. IA. CUP)-TWo new forces with possibly far-reach- ing consequences are seen arising in the middle east by both the Hebrew and Arab press.
 They are the Arab League and the new Unity Orthodox church.
 Newspapers here regard the former as British scheme and the latter as MoscoW's protege.
 Representatives of TranSjordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq have just finished talks here preliminary to the Arab conference opening in Cairo today and 1t Is reported that they have settled the so-called Saudi -Hashemite" deadlock.
 Rivalry between these two Saudi Arabian houses had been regarded as the chief stumbling block to Arab unity but an Arab spokesman told the United Press that these grudges have now been swept away, to be replaced by brotherhood" ."
 The Telaviv Hebrew newspaper Haboker reported that it learned that the Soviet govrnmeen tdoes not consider with favor the British scheme" to set up an Arab federa- toin, although Russias attitude to- wards the Arab-JeWish problem in Palestine has not been stated.
 Haboker said that for practical purposes Russia has become neigh bor of Iraw and is naturally opposed to the establishment of strong Arab federation.
 London has held that an Arab federation is vital to the interests of the British Epire, for 1t would serve as q barrier against the spread of foreign influences after the war.
 Meanwhile, there are increasing signs of interest here in Moecow's new leadership in the Orthodox church as result of the election there of new Russian patriarch by heads of the Orthodox church from other countries.

NATIONS CITIES
 SEEK MORE OF
 STATE REVENUE

Chicago, Feb. IA -- (U.P) - Through legislative programs and resolutions adopted by state leagues of municipalities in the closing months of 1914, the nations cities this year are working toward four principal objectives. They are:
 l. General reVamping of state fiscal systems to allow cities to de- yelop their own adequate revenue systems, also calling for increased sharing of state collected revenues
 2. Retirement system for muni- cipal employees; inclusion of such employees fin the federal social Se- curity system
 3. State assistance, financial and otherwise, for preparation of post war public works blueprintS.
 4. State urban redeVelopment legislation.
 13 List Five Taxes
 Municipal leagues of 13 stateg asked for increased shares in state collected revenues from liquor, mo- tor vehicles, tobacco, gasoline and retail goods taxes.
 North Carolina cities favor allo- cation of localities of one per cent of the state gas tax for construc- tion and maintenance of roads. Florida cities propose state cig- arctic tax of four cents a package. to be redistributed to communities where cigarettes are sold. South Dakota cities want to share reVe- nue from the states 10 per cent gross tax on liquor and Texas cities want the Legislature to increase city revenues from auto license fees.
 oregon cities recommend that the federal government establish national planning agency to CO., ordinate plans of the federal goV- ernment with state and local agen- cics in postwar projects. Ten states have called for prompt completion of postwar plans.
 Need for retirement and old age assistance plan covering all pub lie employees was epreSSed by muni- clpal leagues of Minnesota Michi- gan, Oregon, Tennessee, PennsylVa- nia, Texas, Washington and other states.
 Cities of three states Florida Minnesota and South Dakota-may approve plans by which local, state and federal governments may share costs of construction and mainte- nance of aviation ground facilities for public use and Texas cities urge allocation of the state tax on aVia- tion gasoline to cities for airportS.
 Leagues of several states went on record faVoring cooperation with the Federal Surplus Property Board and three-Kcntucky, oregon and Minnesota want priorities in the purchase of federal surplus goods and equipment.
 Among other interesting features Of programs adopted by municipal leagues in 26 states is NebraSka's s petition toe the State Legislature to amend present zoning laws so muni- may exercise health and police protection for distance of three miles beyond city limits Minnesota cities favor legislation re- quiring tests for drunken drivers and for pedestrian obedience of traffic signals. Ohio's cities want ex- isting statutes amended to require the state department of highways to be responsible for construction and of state highway routes within city limits and Washington communities want civil service ex- tended to local governments.

The idea sounds good, but merely writing to Our Congressman" isn't going to get us any where. So we will subscribe in theory to the suggestion of the World Calendar Association that the observance of WaShngonS and Lncolns birthdays be made the occasion of three day weekend perpetual holiday It first ustifies it's premises with the statement that despite the best of his torans and the generally accepted report Washington was born February II and not the 22nd As matter of fact George always celebrated the 1th of February as his birthday. The Washington family bible has recorded entry his natal day The Blessed event took place about 10 o'clock in the morning and George was baptized on ye 30th of April following to complete the bibles story So the Calendar Association argues this way Lncons birthday February 2, and Washngons real birthday, February H. could become three-day weekend com memoratng in holiday period the birthdays of the two of great presidents" if the calendar revision known as The World Calendar adopted Hey how about amendment? Let's transfer the birthdays to nice days when we all can go swimming or fishing Why be a piker about changing historical events?

AS UsUAL-RosEs ARE RED
Good Evening.

The lacy ones are works of art, Sometimes fashioned like 8 heart, ThroWbacks to the Victorian age When poSies were red but never beige. Roses are red carnations are pink, A Valentine spells candy as well as mink. Orchids are ravishing Violets are blue, That's how 1t goes from him to you. The lacy ones are quite piquant, Like those received by ones great aunt. Roses are red, violets are blue, Bet you forgot to send Valentine too!
