ment ;
*8o far as the President is concerned,
the issue under the Eighteenth Amend-
ment is one of law enforcement. We
must judge men by their performances
rather than promises. As Governor of
Ohio, 1 enforced the law for the first
time in the history of the State, I clos-
ed not only the front doors but the back
doors of the saloons on the Sabbath, 1
enforced all the laws. As President of
the United States, I shall contisue to en-
force all the laws regardless of what in-
terests may be affected.”
Col. Spangler §tudent at ‘‘State’ ;
Aged Sixty Years.
It is no uncommon occurrence for stu.
dents ranging” in age from sixteen to
thirty-six to be enrolled at the Pennsyl-
vania State College, but it is unusual to
have the extreme of sixteen to sixty.
This condition has been brought about
with the recent opening of college and
the enrollment of Colonel J. L. Spang-
ler, prominent citizen of Bellefonte, and
former business associate of the late
Governor Hastings. He has passed his
sixtieth milestone ari comes from his
Bellefonte home to State College several
times a week to attend lectures in busi-
ness and economic subjects. 4
He formerly employed Secretary of
Labor W, B. Wilson in his coal opera
tions in the Cambria fields, and last fall
through the influence of Secretary wil-
son was appointed a member of the La-
bor Mediation Board that settled mid-
dle-western and Pacific coast strikes.
He was a member of the board that con-
sidered the Chicago stockyard strikes.
This touch with present day economic
problems has led Colonel Spangler to be-
come better acquainted with them
through lectures by the State College
faculty members. The town of Spang.
ler, Cambria county, is named after him.
He was former district attorney of Cen-
tre county, one time candidate for Con-
gress, and a delegate to the San Fran-
cisco Democratic convention,
The limit of 750 freshmen, allowed by

A LETTER FROM A SCHOOL
TEACHER TO HER FRIEND
Dear Elizabeth:
I wrote you last Friday that we
have scarlet fever in G—ville, This
morning, Dorothy Bell, who had been
ahsent since last Thursday, came 0
school. She sald she had sore throat
Friday, but was all right now.
Knowing sore throat to be one of the
early symptoms of scarlet fever and
on
that a mild case may clear up In a
day or two, 1 sent her home.
In the afternoon she came back with
a hostile mother who sald her chlid
had an upset stomach, was not sick
enough to need a Doctor, had a per
fect right to be at school, and that
none of the cases in town were scarlet
fever. They were only scarlet rash,
I do not have time to tell you every-
thing she sald, nor will I weary you
with the things I sald, I am still go-
ing over cholce expressions which I
might have used, and I presume Mrs,
Bell is doing the same. But Dorothy
went home.
The Principle has directed our
school nurse, Miss Penny, to further
investigate the case,
GRACE.

Dorothy Bell:

Jmay be permanently crippling, are
