This atti tude docs net reflect tbc biased opinion ef a small minority, but the general feeling both of the men students and tat faculty. The University docs net take pains te welcome women students. On the contrary, the fewer the ce-eds nrelled the better. The University of Pennsylvania from time immemorial has been content te stand or fall en the -strength or weakness of its men rotates. The men themselves would mere than' willing te dispense with Ike. presence of the weaker x ut least during classroom hours. Personally, I have no sympathy for ,woman who Is herself responsible for an inferior position, but who raises n pretest when she finds herself barred from enjoying privileges she otherwise might have. There are ether lnstltu lnstltu tleas for women exclusively, and there are doubtless colleges which even solicit Ce-eds, but Penn doesn't happen te be ( "V i, r- li 11 K I t " .

If present conditions centlrnc, se the levies spoken of t6 be used for "bonus" purposes may be needed, and badly needed, just te meet the present expenses without any "bonus." Anether matter, suggested by one of Senater Pepper's' reasons for opposing the "bonus": Are we te understand that the combination of ex-service men known as the 'IofienM has been or er ganised te force the Government of this country te enact legislation favorable te theli Interests, whatever may be the opinion of the legislators themselves and the majority of the citizens? If this Is the reason for the "1cglen," the sooner It gees te the scrap heap the better for tlui'e of us who have net erganised te protect our interests. Already the Government is spending upward of four hundred millions per annum en our disabled eterans of the World War. At least I have seen these figures quoted In the newspapers. If wj ere new going te stArt te dele out te the healthy, able-bodied veterans, will It ever step? As n matter of fact, pug. grsted by Senater Pepper, these unin jured men ere better off today, with their experience nnd training, than are theso fellow who stayed home, received big wages nnd spent most of them ou silk shirts, etc. My personal opinion as te the "bonus" is te wait until the world get back mere nearly te normal. When our foreign debt is being paid back te us. then we can consider the "bonus," and providing in the meanwhile the "Le "Le geon" recedes from its position of club bing its particular brands of legislation through Congress.

The Ides was ere of the divisions of the month made In the ancient Reman calen dar The Remans divided the month Inte the Kalends, the Nones and the Ides.

The Nones fell en the Tth and ths Ides en the 15th, and In the remaining months tht Nones en the nth end the Ides en the 13th. The Kalends were se named because It was an old custom of the college of priests te call the people together en the nrtt of the month te Inform them of the festivals and racred days te be observed during the month.
