Magazine Editor Head of Wisconsin U Election of Glenn Frank, editor of the Century Magazine, for president M the University of Wisconsin by the board of regents came after a nation wide search for a man young in years but mature in experience and with a definite poiicy. Frank's belief that Church and schools and state should work together to bring about greater beneCts for the commonwealth and ; the fact that his age, thirty-eight, j gives him many years in which to de velop Wisconsin, convinced the re gents that he was the man for the post. Wisconsin for many years has lacked coordination between its agri cultural schools, its commerce courses and the letters and science college. Mr. Frank has accepted the posi tion. He was bom in Queen City, Mo., October 1, 1887, and received his bach eior of arts degree from morinwesteru university in 1912 and a doctor's degree . from Lincoln Memorial university in 1922. He was assistant to the president of Northwestern university in 1912-16 ttnd was engaged in research work from 1916 to 1919. He succeeds Dr. Edward A. Blrge. . Unde Sam !s to Print Lots of Money The treasury has made plans for printing more paper money in the next fiscal year than ever has been turned out by the American government in any other twelve months in history. C&ders have been prepared for the purchase of 200,000,000 sheets of dis tinctive silk fiber paper, from each sheet of which eight pieces Of cur rency are made. Beginning July 1, the bureau of engraving and printing will be run at maximum capacity to meet the nation's paper money require ments.. Coincident with announcement of the printing program, Assistant Sec-* retary C. S. Dewey, whose job it is to see that there is plenty of money available in the country, announced that the treasury would take Its first step on July 1 toward building up a Bn \ ^ reserve of currency. By this method, it is hoped, the iife of the paper money may be prolonged. An opportunity wili be had for "curing" the money before it goes into active service, and this process is expected to keep it from fraying, cracking, and otherwise going to pieces so easiiy. ' ^ The iife of the one-dollar biil now is oniy about eight months, whereas treasury experts figure it should be about a year. In pre-war days the average dollar bill would wear about fourteen or fifteen months. Mr. Dewey is con vinced that higher prices, use of automobiles, the necessities of commerce and industry, and modern ideas and habits compel the carrying of more money Thus the silver dollar has fallen into disuse. Woman Sees New European War at Hand Gently, almost deferentially, Mme. Slavko y Grouitch introduced reality Into the American Academy of Po litical Science the other day In Phil adelphia. Sandwiched between aca demic papers on American co-opera tion abroad she warned that a new European war is at hand. Never since 1914, in May of which year she visited this country to alarm leading Ameri cans to warlike omens, has Europe been so tense and the nations so fear ful of an early outbreak, Mme. Grou itch assured the conference. The American-born wife of the Yugo-Slav minister at Washington pressed her conviction that Europe has no substitute for war in sight. "There Is no use pretending," said Mme. Grouitch quietly, "that war has been done away with while it stll! Is so soothing to politicians and so stimu lating to national pride and courage. War is the narcotic of the nations, quieting domestic dissension and inflaming the ardors and passions of the people." Nor did Mme. Grouitch's appeal to realism stop there. Speaking from the experience of twenty-hve years as a diplomats wife, she asserted it is people, not ambassadors, who make wars. She likewise declared that feminine demand for luxuries, driving men to excesses to obtain them, is a potent influence toward war. Men will and do Hght to give their women what they desire, and women today desire more than the world will supply peaceably. Judge Starts War on Obscene Prints Acting on a request from Federal Judge James H. Wlikerson, James A. O'Callaghan, assistant United States district attorney, has started d drive to rid the mails and news stands of all indecent and obscene publications. In a communication to Postmaster Gen eral Harry S. New at Washington, Mr. O'Callaghan named about twenty pub lications, some with a circulation of nearly a million, which he contends are indecent. The action followed a hearing in which the publisher of a Chicago mag azine, now excluded from the United States mails, sbught to mandamus Postmaster Arthur C. Lueder to com pel him to give the magazine mail privileges. Xfter listening to several passages from the magazfn? as read to him by Prosecutor O'Call, jhan, Judge Wilker son said : "Wpy, this is just kindergar ten work ap compared to some of the magazines found on the news stands." He then added that the government seemed to be practicing discrimination in favor of the more'Influential maga zines, which made it hard for him to decide upon the case. "In the meantime, Mr. O'Callaghan/' Judge Wilkerson added, "visit gome newspaper stand and get the names of ali these filthy and lewd publications. Send their names to the postmaster general with the request that he immo diatety talt* steps to deny the use of thq maiis to these pubilcations whic^ has# an evil inRuence on the youth of ohr country." / 4 Of&ciaJs Ask That Pension BuHdlng Be Made Recep tacle for Exhibits.

These figures give rise to many serious thoughts, the commissioner of pen sions points out. What shall be done o presene to future generations the history, traditions, iessons and inspi ration of the wars, the intimate per sona! history of which is found in the 4,600.000 pension claims in the flies jf the pension bureau? In years to come, this bureau wiii be the mecca for thousands upon thousands seeking information concerning the men who fought in the Civii war. By act of August 7, 1882, the con gress made provision for the Pension huiiding as a memorial to the men who bore the brunt of battle in war. and especiaiiy. in the Civii war. Thecor ner stone was iaid on March 19, 1883. and in May. 1885, the operations of the pension system wehe transferred to the new buiiding. The exterior frieze of the buiiding, showing a pro^ cession of soldiers and saiiors of ali branches of the service, was designed by Casper Buber!, and is indestructible evidence for aii ages of the purposes for which the structure was author ized. designed, buiided and dedicated. Pian War Materia! Exhibit in Washington and elsewhere throughout the country there is a wealth of materia! that can be brought together for display within the pen sion buiiding, showing the distinctive accouterments and implements of each of our wars; aiso models, paintings, heiriooms and relics. The pension bu reau wouid thus become one of the attractions of the national capital. Now that the ranks of our Civil war veterans are fast thinning, it is thought atting that steps be taken to make tl^jePensipn odlce bulldinga last ing museum of our nation's wars, from whose honored dead, as the martyred Lincoln voiced his thought in his Get tysburg address, "we take increased devotion to that cause foc^ which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolfe that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that gov ernment of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Washington.—Prolonged study of the vagaries of the sun and the moon has enabled scientists of the United States uavai observatory here to work out their eciipses for the next three years. Under the (direction of Capt W. S. Eicheiberger they now are start ing on the 1829 eciipses. An annular eciipse of the sun—an eciipse where the rim of the sun shows outside of ti& eclipsed area—is fore cast for Juiy 20-21. this year, bat wili be invisibie in the United States. A partial eciipse of the moon is due Au gust 4, being more or less visible in the eastern states, and whoiiy visible on the Pacific coast.

On November 10 the transit will take place, visible generally in the PaciHc ocean, Australia and Asia, except in the northern and western portions. It will be visible at . Hono lulu, Manila and Samoa. In 1928 three of the sun and two of the moon will be the order of eclipses. Captain Eicheiberger considers that the total solar eclipse of May 19 that year will be a curious one, oniy part of the resulting shadow falling on the earth, appearing as a piece on the south of Africa, and as a partiai in South Africa and the southern part of South America. A total of the moon, June 8, will be visible in the western parts of North and South America, the PaciHc ocean. Australia and the eastern bor der of Asia. Partial solar eclipses wii! occur June 17 and November 12, a total of the moon transpiring No vember 27, visible in the western hemisphere.
