University Head Talks
About Wealthy Students
AUTOMOBILES take students oft"

There is no need for parents to

Poor boy makes a better record
in college nnd afterward.
The student who can't stand the
clean, simple, industrious campus life
should go elsewhere.
PALO ALTO, Cal., Sept. 21. Wealth Is
a handicap to the college student and tho
poor boy has the advantage, according to
Dr. Hay Lyman Wilbur, president of Lcland
Stanford UnUerslty, In a statement today,
As a consequence of this belief Doctor
Wilbur decreed that, beginning this year,
oUtos way not 4)0 owned 6V "st tiileiuT; "fhaf
too frequent dances, tho purchaeo of ex
pensive flowers fpr co-eds and similar
luxuries will be banned.
Doctor Wilbur Is so conlnced ho Is right
about this that he has sent a circular letter
to students parents saying students with
too much money are not desired at the
school. It they are Inclined to spend their
time In the pursuit of pleasure. Tho letter
urges parents to refrain from too liberal
allowances and warns them that, as tho
number of entrants this "year is limited,
those students who fall to show they aro
doing honest work wljl not bo permitted
to remain.
Stanford does not particularly seek poor
boys and discourage the entrance of the
wealthy. Doctor Wilbur explains, but ex.
perlenco has shown that the poor boy has,
on the whole, made a better record, both as
a student and nfterward. Ills appeal,
Doctor Wilbur says, Is an endeavor to Bave
the wealthy la,d from his own particular
dangers. i
"It takes time to run an automobile, and
It often leads to life off the campus, to
extravagance and much foolishness," says
the letter, adding: "Thero Is plenty to

said Monslgnor Turner, "our Lord first

"The answer Is easy for him who nslcs
tho question In tho right spirit and scclis

"To tho threefold power of tenchlng. min

CITY HELD POWERLESS
TO CHECK BREADvPRICE
jfeasures Bureau Chief Says
Bakers Have Right to'Fix
Cost of Products
Nonaction against the bakers on account
of any Increase In the prices of bread can
bo legally brought unilc existing laws, ac
cording .to announcement this morning by
John Vlrdln, supervisor", the Bureau of
Standards and Measures. The old law pro
viding that bread must be sold by the
pound cannot compel any scale of prices,
said Mr. Vlrdln. He showed that Invest!
gatlo.n'of his assistants found the average
weight of loaves sold In this city to be
slightly over a pound.
The threatened Increase Jri the bread price
was' brought Into closer notice by the an
nouncement yesterday that bakers would
soon raise the price of rolls, cinnamon buns,
coffee cakes and corn muffin from ten cents
'a dozen retail to twelve cents. It was not
said, however, that the common loaf would
be Increased in price.
This increase was by action of many
bakers after the Kolb Baking Company had
volunteered as pioneers la the new price,
due to the Increase In the cost of raw ma
terials and labor employed In baking.
Philadelphia consumers, Mr. Vlrdln said,
are considered to receive more bread for
their money than the people of any other
city Ik tho UnlteS States, and In view
of tlie Increasing prices ot flour and labor,
lie mVi, the prices are not feujfe. If th

ment replying to the charges made by the
seccuing members or that order, who have
organised the United ProteaUint Fellow.
ship because of their dissatisfaction with th
manner In which the affairs of tho Btonc
men's Fellowship were conducted.
Doctor Stone's statement follows:
Tho Stoncmen'a Fellowship was es
tablished for tho moral uplift of men,
to know God and to do Ills will.
Thousands of men In tho city of Phil
ndolphla today can testify that It was
through the Fellowship that they came
to know tho Lord Jesus Christ.
Thousands of homes are happier today
because of the Fellowship, and many
churches havo been helped by the Fel
lowship. Tho organisation has two represen
tative and legislative bodl6 the De
greo Council and the Select Council.
Tho Degreo Council Is composed of
tho drgreo masters from cnchVard and
numbers ono hundred and twenty (120)
men. It meets regularly, once a month,
and minutes nre kept of all Its trans
actions. Tho Select Council Is a larger body,
numbering -one, thousand twenty-four
(1024) men, nnd Is composed of th
selectmen from the wnrd divisions,
who are in charge of tho business of
tho Fellowship In their division. This
Select Council also meets regularly
every month, and minutes are kept of
Its transactions.
In addition to these two represent
ative bodies there are separate ward
councils, which meet every week. Bach
ward council chooses Its own select
rncn. Its own degree masters and of
ficers and manages Its own financial
affairs.
There Is, finally, the main body of th
Fellowship, which meets every week;
composed of all members who have
taken any of the degrees.
We do not feel that an organization
such as our needs to conduct Its af
fairs In the columns of tho-dallypress,
but like all such organizations, we are
glad to let the public know matters of
public Interest.
To ' the nbove statement, which
sufficiently .shows the Iruly ,renresen
tntive character of the .organization.
It Is only necessary to add that min
utes of the transactions are faithfully
and acceptably kept
The Stonemen's Fellowship Is trying
to follow humbly In th&footsteps of
the Great Master, whose wo arc, and
whom wo serve. We aro endeavoring
to live out evcryday the spirit of bur
great fellowship chapter (1 Cor., xlll)
"that charity suffercth long, and is
kind. Is not easily provoked, thlnketh
no ovlt II. c. STONE.
Harry T. Baxter, one of the men who
seceded from tho Stonemen's Fellowship, la
commenting on Doctor Stono's statement,
said:
"Doctor Stone Is dodging the Issue' and
r think his stand Is unfair to the public.
Doctor Stone will soon takemore seriously
the disruption In his organization."
William. F, Deakyno said, "Very beautiful
sentiment Is expressed In Doqtor Stone's
statement, but I am afraid but few of us
would be able to Jive up to It."
Applications for membership in th
United Fellowship are comlr.g In rapidly,
according to Harry T Baxter, secretary of
the rebel organization. He predicts bm a r.
suit that the meeting of the Fellowship at
Scottish Illte Hall on Saturday night will
be largely attended.
Mr. Baxter said today that he was mis
quoted regarding some of his assertions
concerning Doctor Stone. He said he had
no desire whatever to Introduce any per
sonal element In the controversy.
