BRITISH SCHOOLS BACKTONORMAL Big Universities Are Again Filling Up With Students Washington, May 30.—The great universities of England whose stu dent bodies and teaching staffs were greatly depleted by service in the army or in government offices dur ing the war are again filling with students and resuming' normal life. This is shown by a letter received here by Lieutenant Colonel J. C. Fuuthorpe of the British Embassy Tom A. L. Smith. Master of Ballio! College, Oxford. New schools ere being opened at Oxford and plans for greater efficiency are being put into effect, he writes. According to the Master of Bulliol. Oxford sent approximately 12,900 of its men to the war or into the gov ernment service. Of these 2,1191 w.-ro killed and 109 are missing. More than 4.000 won honors in the war THIN PEOPLE" SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE Nothing I.lke I'lnln Ultro-Phospliate to Put on Firm llenlthy Flesh and to Inereuse Strength, 4 Igor nnd Nerve Force Judging from the countless prepara tions and treatments which are con tinually being advertised for the pur pose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by _ the soft curved lines and beauty, there are ■ ■ ij§E|l evi d e ntly —4H HBr Wjflj >1 BB as. women who keenly feel their exces s've thln v; ness.

Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this defic iency so well as the organic phos phate known among druggists as bitro-phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by most all druggists un der a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate should produce a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. Increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly al ways accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who was once thin and frail, reporting her own experience, writes: "Bitro- Phosphate has brought about a magic transformation with me. I gained 15 pounds and never before felt, so well." CAUTION: Although bitro-phos phate Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and gen eral weakness, It should not, owing to Its tendency to Increase weight, be used by anyone who does not de sire to put on flesh. 7ADAY FOR7DAYS If Your Nerves Are Shaky Became of Over-indulgence in Tobacco or Alcohol or by Excess of Any Kind, Bio-Feren is What Yon Need Bight Away. Don't grow old before your time, don't let nervousness wreck your happiness or chances in life. The man with strong, steady nerves is full of vigor, energy, ambition and confidence. You can have nerves of steel, firm step, new courage and keen mind by putting your blood and nerves in first-class shape with mighty Bio-Feren, a new discov ery, inexpensive and efficient. Men and wo'men who get up so tired in the morning Chat they have to drag themselves to their daily labor will in just a few days arise with clear mind, definite purpose and loads of ambition. All you have to do is to take two Bio-Feren tablets after each meal and one at bedtime—7 a day for 7 days—then reduce to one after each meal until all are gone. Then if your energy and endur ance haven't doubled, if your mind isn't keener and eyes brighter, if you don't feel twice as ambitious as before, any drug gist anywhere will return the purchase price—gladly and freely. Bio-Feren is without doubt the grandest remedy for nervous, run down, weak, anaemic men and women ever offered and is not at all expensive. All druggists in this city and vicinity have a supply on hand—sell many pack ages.

The figures of Cambridge University would be about the eamo the writer estimates. Outlining the serviced rendered by men of the forty college* of Oxford and Cambridge, the Maiter writes that owing to the response for war service, the student life "dwindled to a thread." He adds that "the Importance of the response of lhese two older universities was that If filled up the gap between the destruc tion of the Regular army In tho fighting of August and September of 1914 and the coming forward of tho newly trained territorials In the spring of 1915. This Immediate re sponse to the call of the country and the personal courage and devotion of these young men were a completo and decisive answer to any 'class' jealousy or feeling that the workers were being made to bear the brunt. Will "Snap" Eclipse From an Aeroplane By GARRETT P. SERVISS One of the most interesting as tronomical experiments that have been tried in a long time will be Prof. David Todd's attempt to pho tograph the total eclipse of the sun May 29 from a naval aeroplane sent up to an elevation of 10,000 or 15,- 000 feet from a ship in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, between Africa and South America. If it succeeds the result may be a great advance in our knowledge of what is, perhaps, the most mys terious phenomenon in the polar system the corona of the sun which is believed to serve as an In dex of the sun's electromagnetic con trol over the earth. This wonderful phenomenon, which always arouses a profound sentiment of awe in every beholder, appears in the form of a vast "glory," composed of a glowing crown closely surrounding the black orb of the moon as it covers the sun, and great rays and streamers, often of strange shapes, extending out ward from the crown to distances of millions of miles. The corona varies both in general shape and in details, as seen during successive eclipses, and these varia tions are believed to accord in some manner with the character and In tensity of the solar activity, which are also indicated by the existence and motions of apparently black spots on the sun's surface. It has been proved that magnetic storms on the earth are somehow connected with these mysterious happenings on the sun. The connec tion is sometimes startlingly pro claimed by the waving in our at mosphere of immense curtains of lambent electric fire, called the au rora borealis. which is not infre quently accompanied by sparks leaping from telegraphic in struments. -lor® Unfortunately, owing to the glare produced by sunlight in the atmos phere, the corona cannot be set;n except when the opaque body of the moon intervenes to shut out. like a black screen, the disk of fhe sun. whereupon the strange * lor > bursts into view. Usually the total obscuration by the moon lasts but one or two minutes, but on this oc casion it will last than six minutes and a half. _,. r A total solar eclipse has rarely been seen from a great altitude be cause the path of such an eclipse is narrow and seldom happens to run over a mountain peak attainable by astronomers with their instruments For this reason Professor Todd s observation, if successful, will be unique. At a height of atouttwo miles nearly all the clouds, which often spoil eclipse observations from lower levels, will be surmounted, and in addition to that the observer with his photographic instrument will be above that pai l if the atmos phere which is most effective in cut ting off the actinic rays of light which are the ones that affect the photographic plate. Thus there is reason to hope that the photographs obtained will be much better, ami perhaps incomparably better, than anv hitherto taken. One great difficulty in the way of astronomical observation presented by a ship at sea may be avoided by the use of an aeroplane. Owing to the constant agitation of the ocean s surface, even in calm weather, the slow heaving and swelling of the surface of the water, it is impossible to maintain the pointing of an in strument in a fixed direction; but in the case of a relatively faint pho nomenon like the corona it is neces sary to expose the photographic plate for a considerable interval of time in order to obtain a good im pression of the light. Of course if the instrument is swayed by a rock ing motion of its base it cannot be kept steadily pointed at its object, and only a blurred picture will be obtained. With an aeroplane, however, this trouble may be largely, if not en tirely eliminated, since the aero plane does not oscillate like a ship, but when held on a steady course glides with remarkable smoothness through the air and moves on an even beam. If it rolled like a ship it would disconcert the aim, swinging the in strument through, perhaps, several degrees of arc in a second, but in calm weather the only motion of the aeroplane is in the direction of its flight. This motion, as long as it is straightaway, and its inclination to the horizontal does not vary, would not afreet the pointing of an instrument toward an object at a practically infinite distance. It would only be necessary to hold the aeroplane on a virtually straight course during the time the photo graphic exposure was being made. On the other hand, if the course were circular the direction of in clination of the "deck" would swing round all the points of the compass, unless tho circling was performed in a perfectly horizontal plane. Efforts to counteract this by means of a gyroscope would probably not prove practicable. Professor Todd has been present at almost every total solar eclipse in the past forty years, and his at tempt to see the spectacle this time from the "flies" will be watched by the astronomers of the whole world with deep interest. German Firms Suffer Because of Strikes Uerlin. May 30.—The ever recur ring strikes of miners are causing a catastrophic condition in the Rhen ish- Westphalian mining region. One company has declared itself insol vent because of strikes. A cabinet minister recently stated at the Soviet Congress in Berlin that the demands of tho miners had ruined a number of mining companies. Two mining concerns which In No vember last had a reserve of 15,000,- 000 marks, now have overdrafts st the bank of 12,000,000 marks and the banks refuse to give them further edit. THE STORE THAT CLOSES /Oyay/AfM THE STORE THAT CLOSES SATURDAYS AT SIX W WVjF&W SATURDAYS AT SIX BELL 1901 235 UNITED ' HARBISBURG. FRIDAY, MAY 30. 1010. FOUNDED 187 With Further Reference To Saturday Night ■ Closing Another City Wants To Know! We received the following letter from the Retail Saleswomen's Association of Jamestown, N. Y. "Wc understand the stores in your city close at six o'clock Saturdays. Will you kindly inform us how this move ment was brought about and what the result to business. There is an agitation in our city to close Saturday nights and. this association is anxious to get data on the subject. Anything you can tell us about it will be ap preciated." Of special interest in this reference "and what the result to business." When employes are as considerate of their employers interest as this, the employer surely ought to be equally as mindful of the employes welfare. Our reply in part was as follows: "Formerly our store was open until nine o'clock, and since closing at six o'clock there have been only three Saturdays that our sales have been less than the same Saturday of the previous year; this was caused by ad verse weather conditions. Our sales during the week have greatly increased, and our business has continued to make large increases in sales." Although a number of local merchants have recently joined in this progressive movement, we had to refer them to York for an example of concerted action.
