M. scheme to another. Likewise, walls may have patterns of lights which ever change in color and design. Mr. Palmer demonstrated this statement with a large square on which 1 made varied patterns in many gor geous colors. It reminded one of kaleidoscopes with which one was delighted in childhood, but it was more brilliant than these. In another demonstration Mr. Palmer showed how flowers may be grown in pots by lights just as effec tively as those truly planted in soil and with much less trouble. Mr. Palmer concluded by assert ing that in the coming years light will develop greatly to help man in his work, to foster his health, and to beautify his surroundings, future of light is promising. Intercollegiate News Students Give Sidewalk Acting President, L. T. Baker of the University of South Carolina, laid the first bricks of the sidewalks to be given by the University stud ents. He commended the students on their willingness to take care of the University and their cheerful school spirit. Mr. Baker stated his belief that the movement prompted by several service fraternities campus would perhaps lead to the completion of the job by a legislative appropriation. What! More Bicycles? From now on, no more automo biles will be permitted at Smith Col lege. As a result, over two hundred campus students have purchased other means of transportation—bicycles! Radio a Benefit to Infirmary One of Duke University’s latest projects was the placing of a radio in the infirmary. The social and hon- campus fraternities, the coach ing staff, and several faculty mem bers made the gift possible. Doctors ,te that the radio is quite a benefit confined students. ' Special Student Street Car Rates All Strayer College students may secure three-cent tickets for street car and bus rides. They were given this privilege after several college officials sent a formal complaint which point ed out the unfairness of the Public Utilities Commission of the District of Columbia in catering only to exclu sive, wealthy patronage. Therefore, a student under eighteen years of age will save four cents every time he rides the car or bus. Students Commit Suicide Students at the University of Budapest are certainly serious-mind- ed and anxious about their grades. Within a week four students com mitted suicide because of bad grades.

RONDTHALER READS COMMENTS ON SMOKING sary for the success of the plan, which as one newspaper stated, is the best possible solution to the problem. In closing. Dr. Rondthaler ex pressed the hope that he had shown how wide the issue was and how much courage it took for the board to give the students the smoking privileges. He believed that the so lution was as nearly correct as possible under the circumstances. He stressed the fact that the school would be in tlie public eye and would entail the most conscientious re sponse from all concerned. The President urged that no one start or continue the practice without care ful consideration of these three most important issues: Home, Health and REGULAR YES MAN Officer (to couple in parked auto) —“Don’t you see the sign, ‘Fine for parking?’ ” Driver—“Yes, officer, I see it and heartily agree with it.” NETTIE STEPHEN’S !

ANSCOMBE DISCUSS ES PROSPERITY IN FRANCE German reparations, . while the maining 48 per cent is divided among the other countries, and also, France refuses to pay her war debt her own currency. Then, France has employed French people. In Eng land there are from 1,000,000 to 2,- 000,000 unemployed, while in France there are only 100,000 without work, although Socialists say the number amounts to 600,000. France has ployed many men to repair villages, to build school buildings. Telegraph stations, highways, bridges, to relay miles of railroad track, and struct mines and factories. Thous ands of homes and dwelling houses had to be rebuilt, while 8,000 acres of land had to be cultivated. The French have a victorian spirit, a hopefulness and self-confidence that Americans lack. A large standing army takes up one-half million men while those of England and America are only one fourth as great as that of France. French people are practical minded and undeterred by ideals. They lack a Christian sensitive consciousness that is prevalent in American society. In fact the French people vv'ant im mediate results and hate to be ham pered with any sort of sentimentalism. France receives much foreign cur rency through the tourist onslaught in the southern part of the country. Places like Monte Carlo attract the wealth of other countries. Paris which is Paris draws the wildest, gayest and most frivolous people of the world who leave great amounts of currency behind them. Another reason for France’s pros perity is the fact that the government allowed the franc to depreciate aft er the war. Instead of paying in full as England did, France paid only 25 per cent value. England has at last awakened to the fact and has recently abolished her policy of the gold standard. France has one fourth of the world’s gold supply—a fact which is alarming to the other countries. Germany has paid France with borrowed money from England at 6 per cent while England borrowed the same from France at 2 per cent. England had to abandon her gold standard because France withdrew $17,000,000 in gold from English investments. France, through her investments and collec tion of gold, has accumulated so much that other countries are alarmed and are beginning to take steps which will not prove very favorable to France. France’s prosperity seems at an end. The basic industries are slowing down, and the English luxury tax is making a notable change in the French ex ports to England. The rate of tour ists has declined 20 per cent and France is becoming alarmed concern ing her security. Today France is considered more dangerous to the peace of the world than Germany. France pays her war debt in smaller proportions than either Germany or England. In the light of reparations, France pays only a portion of the money received from Germany, while England has prom ised to pay her war debt in sixty two years. At present the position of France is very unstable. She is creating an at- losphere of uncertainty. It is hoped that France will come to better terms with England and Germany during the Geneva conference in February. Undoubtedly the outcome of th; Geneva conference will deternine the of the world for the next ten Ben V. Matthews Photographs of Quality . Fourth Street.
