6 GERMAN STUDY GAINS AT PENN Carge Increase Over Last Vear, Figures Show; 882 in Courses Philadelphia.—"Although there is tntirked Increase in the number of stu dents taking German at the University ef Pennsylvania this year the language will never fully regain the preponder ance It possessed before the outbreak of the great European war," says Dr. Daniel B. Schumway, head of the Ger man department at the university. "There are," said Dr. Schumway, -882 students electing German for the 1919-20 session, as compared to 518 last year, but this Increase can scarcely be considered important when the com parative total registration for the two years is reviewed. But the increase is gratifying, and I am inclined to be lieve that the language will gain gradu ally in numbers. "No matter how great the gain, how- Banish Nervousness Put Vigor and Ambition into Run-Down, Tired Out People If you feel tired out, out of sorts, despondent, mentally or physically depressed, and lack the desire to ac complish things.

Particularly the French. French and Spanish Lead 'T remember when we had twice as many students as the French depart ment, and yet now their teaching force alone is nearly double the strength of ours, while there are at least 700 more students in the French department. In Spanish the gain is not so great. "During the war students previously taking German dropped it and took up Spanish. The majority, especially in the Towne Scientific School found it not fitting to their needs, and when this semester opened their names may once more be fdlind on the German roll. • The same is true of students en tering from high schools. When the study of the German language was abolished in the schools many dropped It reluctantly. With the war over and the question of patriotism no longer an issue tho students are rapidly com ing back to German after unsuccessful ventures In French and Spanish. More German Instruction "It is. after all. a pity that the war should have affected the enrollment in such a manner because, with the ex ception of a few commercial purposes, Spanish will prove useless to the stu dent, while the Teutonic tongue is al ways valuable scientifically." Registration figures made public by Dr. Schumway tend to prove the, truth of his remarks. In 1916-17, just be fore the outbreak of the war, German reached the height of its popularity at the university, with a total enrol ment of 1,575. With the declaration of war in April. 1917, the number of stu dents entering the courses in German fell off to 710 in the fall of that year, and then to 611 in the early part of 1918. The decline followed rapidly until It reached low ebb last year with only 518. Farmers' Congresi Opposes "All Strikes" By Associated Press llngerstoww. Md., Oct. 31.—Tho short workday and the "ever increas ing wages demanded by industrial labor" were declared to be "allies of the profiteer in keeping up the high cost of living" dn a resolution adopted yesterday by the Farmers' National Congress at its concluding session. The congress also went on record as opposed to strikes." THE NATIONAL SAFETY SUIT CHAIRMAN TELLS VOTERS OF CAPABLE NOMINEES W. H. Horner Forecasts Big Republican Victory at Polls on November 1 In a letter addressed to Republi cans throughout the county, County Chairman William H. Horner goes at length into the qualifications of the Republican ticket this fall. He pre dicts an old-time Republican victory and urges the voters to turn out next Tuesday. The letter follows: "An active campaign for the elec tion of the entire ticket at the gen eral election on Tuesday, November 4, is being conducted by the Dauphin County Republican Committee. While it is generally conceded that the ticket will be elected, nevertheless the County Committee is taking nothing for granted and the voters of the county, regardless of party affiliation, are being urged to go to the polls on 'November 4 and cast their ballot for the entire ticket, which is one of the strongest from the standpoint of fitness for tho of fice ever nominated in Dauphin county. "Dr. H. M. Stine and Charles C. Cumbler, the candidates for County Commissioners, have been tried and not found wanting, and they should be re-elected by increased majorities. "M. Harvey Taylor, candidate for Recorder of Deeds, has served the Republican party faithfully and well. His genial disposition and qualifica tions to fill the office will make him a worthy successor to James E. Rentz, the present recorder. Mr. Taylor's friends are not confined to the Republican party alone and he will receive support from the voters of all parties. "One of the most popular candi dates on the Republican ticket is Phil S. Moyer, candidate for Dis trict Attorney. Mr. Moyer, through training and experience at the dau phin county bar. will make an able District Attorney. His friends all over the country are rallying to his THE VACATION i" The following one-sided converse- | tion was overheard in a downtown restaurant: * "You know, the place was crowd ed from the time wo got there till we felt. They tried to feed me up on veal loaf and salads, and I net er cared for either. I rarely saw my wife: she would start out In the morning to pick blackberries, and when she came back she was so tired that she had to go to bed. The children seemed to have a good time, but" they Vore their clothes to shreds and tatters. Smoke—l never smoked so much in my life. And to my dying day I'll never for get that trip home. In the station they were packed even into the telephone booths And to-day my stenographer told me she was g° l: 'B on a vacation or quit I halo tO .J e the little shrimp feel that I m be holden to her, but what can I do . It's better to let her go for a while that forever, Lord, it's awful! There is a possibility that this man enjoyed, or at least benefited from, his vacation in ways of which he himself is unaware. If the inter ruption of the normal brought home to him the wholesomeness of rou tine activity, he is a wiser man. If the civic center which he affection ately calls his home town appeals to him as the best place in which to spend his time and money, the quality-of his citizenship has been improved. If his children ruined their clothes, it is likgly that the> improved their health at the same tm (letting the most out of a vacation is of course, an art, for it is large > a matter of playing tricks on the mind. We go away to see new faces, but the most esseittiat featur© ot a town of any size is its transient popu lation. Or we go to get a change of diet, hut the cook is the most instable of household personalities. Or we go for a change of air, but if we travel sixty miles to the north and a north wind begins to blow at the rate of sixty miles an hour, it is only an hour until that same air reaches our homo. Or we go to es cape the heat, but tt is an open secret that it can. and frequently does,, get just as hot in. say. the peaceiul vales of the Berkshire hills as it does at Laredo. Texas. Nothing surpasses in interest man s relation to his own mind and body.- The vacationist knows, subconscious fly that he cannot have the comforts of home while away. But it is a change and as such produces a mental improvement, even though it he physically, for the worse. It may be unpleasant to tje forced to change on- mind; but it is exhilarating to change it at all. Each part is set itl action, whereas before it all motert in the accustomed groves of current life On the vacation we do a num ber of little things none of which re sembles the other and all of which combined are unlike the big home Some people go on vacations Just to be unlike Kant, who never left Konigsbergj The dissimilarity flat ters.

And Goethe rode I through Switzerland with the blinds of his carriage drawn; there was "nothing there to see but moun tains."—From the New York Eve i ning Post.

Tho fact that I have Just slept between a pair of beautifully figured linen table cloths, instead of between sheets, al though a guest at one of the best hotels in Prague, is some v indication of the cotton shortage here. The tablecloths are only one adven ture in bed linen, out of several. A few nights before in Pilsen, home of beer and the Skoda gun works, the hotel managed to find one Bheet to go under me, but none to go above. Instead, there was a huge feather bed much longer than the bedstead, under whtch I struggled all night for breath. The night before that, in Prague, had been different, though quite as sheetless as the one in Pilsen. There had again been one sheet below and none above. Instead there was above a little tlun brown cotton-wood blanket, neither long enough nor wide enough to reach the ends or edges of the bedframe. It just lay there, like a little rug, with a rim of cold uncovered bed all around it. Everybody in the hotel slept under over coats that night. Back in Paris we grumble hugely about high costs erf" living because we pay an average of 275 per cent, over pre-war figures. Count Freedom Worth Cost But here the average is estimated from 800 to 1,000 per cent And even ai that the people are remarkably good na tured. They have a freedom for which they have struggled for centuries. Money means very little to them in the exaltation of the moment. They feel the pinch keenly and they protest mildly, but they are too happy to make serious trouble. Later they may. Here are some of the prices they pay at present, compared with -.hose of 1914: 1914 Price Present Price In Kronen. in Kronen.

Nobody will ever die of nicotine poisoning from them, no matter how much the ration is increased, for they are made of hops and hay, with a tiny crumb of tobacco In each. Revolution Hint Fluled A few weeks atjo two Austrian princes instigated a demonstration among the "legionaries"—Czech soldiers who have come back from France, Italy and Rus sia and have not been demobilized. The * TJCTGBWX legionaries, who had nothing to do hut hang around barracks drawing pay, were prompted to* march to the govern ment buildings In Prague, where Presi dent Masaryk was Informed that they wished him to address them upon the subject of high prices. He refused, but said he would see a delegation. A delegation presented Itself In his oflice. There he gave them a quiet dressing down, such as kindly school master might give to mischievous boys. He ended by saying: "I did not come here to be president to be ruled by the streets." The delegation withdrew. The crowd dispersed and the two Austrian princes were arrested. Thus passed the nearest thing Czeeho-Slovakia has had to a revolution.
