The preliminary statistics of the
number of students enrolled in Ger
man universities during the winter
semester of 1912-1913 show that the
total number of matriculated students
amounted to 58,844 as against 58,672
In the summer semester of 1912. In
cluding auditors, the totals are 64,590
and 63,351, respectively. Of the au
ditors registered in the winter semes
ter 3,997 were men and 1,749 were
women, while of the matriculated stu
dents, no less than 3,213 were women,
these being distributed by faculties as
follows: Theology, 11; law, 79; medi
cine, 715; philosophy, 2,408. The fol
lowing universities attracted the larg
est number of women students: Ber
lin, 904; Bonn, 289; Munchen, 262;
Gottingen, 237; Heidelberg, 219. It
may be interesting in this connection
to call attention to some statistics
recently published by the French min
istry of education, showing that the
percentage of women students in
France in 1912 was 9.8 per cent, as
against 4.8 per cent, in Germany.
Just Wanted Sbme Information.
There is a Chicago lawyer, whose
extremely frail physique is frequently
the subject of his own facetiousness.
On one occasion this lawyer was in
a street car, when a burly citizen
boarded as the car turned a curve;
lurched forward and sat down plump
in the lap of the legal light. He rose
with profuse apologies. "Oh," re
sponded the thin man, cordially,
"that's all right. But tell me one
thing, did you think I was painted on
! the seat?"
Looked for Another.
A young and ambitious minister had
accepted an invitation to preach as
a candidate in a church in the south
ern part of Rhode Island. He ac
cepted the invitation, however, on the
condition that he hould supply two
Sabbaths. During the intervening
week he wrote a sermon on the text,
"Art thou he that should come, or do
we look for another." They concluded
to look for another.
Some Distance.
It was at a city prayer meeting, and
one good brother who had been
abroad since his last appearance at
prayer meeting in the church, rose
and said solemnly: "Well, brothers
and sisters, since last we met oceans
have rolled between me."
Necessity of Prayers.
Prayers for those who go up in the
air in ships are as essential as prayers
for those who go down to the sea.—

Government Agent Emphat
ically Declares For Rorke
Bill and Says Sunday Re
creation Must Be Provided
To Stamp Out Social Un
rest —Would Be Helpful to
United Stales Officers
That legislation legalizing enter
tainments of an educational character
on Sunday is necessary in Pennsyl
vania to lessen social unrest and to
check the spread of Bolshevism is the
opinion of Joseph S. Green, of the
plant protection bureau of the United
States military intelligence depart
ment. He says that practically all
manufacturers, merchants and other
employers of labor will be openly in
favor of the Rorke bill now in the
legislature, which if passed will
greatly modify the ancient blue laws
of 1794. The blue laws of Pennsylva
nia are known throughout the United
States as perhaps the most rigid of all
the legislation that has survived since
Colonial days. In discussing this sub
ject, Mr. Green says:
"What the working people must
have now is contented minds. We
have come to that stage in our social
development in America when we
must recognize that the great masses
of the people will not go to church.
Of course there are many thousands
of persons who do attend church serv
ices, but there are a great many more
thousands who do not attend churches.
The continued restriction placed upon
Sunday recreation is interpreted by
many working people as a form of op
pression. In many cases this has been
developed into a form of hatred. Our
investigations in the Pittsburgh dis
trict have led us to the firm convic
tion that there must be provided some
forms of mental recreation for the
working people on Sunday which is
the one day in the we-ek when they
are refreshed and in the natural state
of mind to appreciate good entertain
ment.
"Some modification of the restric
tions upon Sunday recreation is neces
sary if we are to prevent the growth
of the ugly spirit that frequently de
velops into labor troubles and riots.
The agitators in this district are
numerous and unscrupulous. They
are seeking with all their might to
stir up unrest and to create a spirit
of resentment in the working people.
The motion picture, I think, is the
greatest agency for popular education
in the world today. It has a refining
influence and a good motion picture
show will do any man a great deal
more good than listening to the Bol
shevik propaganda that is being offer
ed to our working people every Sun
day in the Pittsburgh district.
''To deny the working people mo
tion picture shows and other educa
tional entertainments on Sunday will
be playing right into the hands of the
foreign Bolshevki whose movements
the government is watching, particu
larly in this Pittsburgh district. Good
entertainment on Sunday will promote
peace of mind, a greater contentment
and a better spirit between what we
familiarly call labor and capital."
Where's the Difference?
Just what change takes place in a
moving picture which is highly in
structive and entertaining t/t 11:59 p.
m. Saturday, to make it unholy and
undesirable at 12:01 a. m. the next
day? Or conversely, how does an evil
thing at 11:59 p. m. Sunday disguise
its iniquity and become righteous two
minutes later?
To Avoid Counterfeiting.
In the production of their notes,
the Bank of England authorities'
chief aim is to issue a note which is
impossible for anybody to counter
feit. Toward this end, all the parts
of the note —the paper, the water
mark, the ink, the engraving, the
printing—are prepared and done in a
special, and, as far as possible, se
cret manner. At the mills where the
paper is manufactured the most strin
gent precautions are taken to pre
vent any of the paper being stolen.
Of course, there have been many at
tempted robberies, but only once, in
the ye*r 18€2. were thieves success
ful in attaining any of the paper.
Very afterward forged notes
were in circulation. The thieves did
not enjoy the triumph long, for with
in a short time they were captured.
Being Neighborly.
After the workmen had cleared out
the landlord took especial pains to
show to each tenant the bill for doing
over his flat. The householders re
garded that attention in different
lights according to the improvements
they had fought for and secured.
"Some looked frightened, thinking it
portended a rise in rent, some apolo
getic, some defiant. The third floor
right man was non-committal. Three
days later he called at the landlord's
office and presented a slip of paper.
It was a bill for six shirts, summer
socks and ties, a straw hat, and a
blue serge suit. "What's that got to
do with me?" exclaimed the landlord.
"Oh, nothing," said the man airily.
"Just an interchange of courtesies.
Nothing like being neighborly, you
know."
Story Writer Wasted.
We pause a moment in respectful
admiration to one Russian physician
who has announced to the world the
discovery of a way to suspend life for
six months at a stretch. We admire,
but our admiration is tinged with
regret that he is a physician instead
of an author. A man with the genius
to make such a claim would wield a
refreshing pen. After Doc Cook and
Doc Friedmann and few other docs
here and there who drew cards, but
couldn't fill, we will not waste much
time on this Russian doc. He is
rushing the game. Had he waited a
space, he would have been met in
New York harbor by a committee of
best citizens, and made an honorary
member of the best sellers' lodge, but
just at this time the Friedmann
wounds are still unhealed. —San Fran
cisco Evening Post.
Baseball Invading Spain.
America's national game is making
marked progress in Spain, and with
the coming world's trip of the two
baseball teams there is every indica
tion of a renewed interest in the
game. Leagues have been organized
in England, Australia. Canada and Ja
pan, and the progress made in King
Alfonso's dominion indicates a gen
eral tendency toward baseball. Span
iards are quick to embrace any branch
of sport that carries the element of
keen excitement. With the falling oil
in the interest in bull fighting and the
establishment of branch houses of the
leading American commercial firms
the opportunity for the introduction
of baseball on a firm basis there ap
pears encouraging.
Eggs Cure "Grouch."
Fish may make you brainy, but it's
eggs that make you amiable, at least
if we can believe the claims made for
this particular article of food by a
German scientist of note. "Cranks,
grouches, nervous wrecks of all kinds
should eat all the eggs they can possi
bly digest," says Prof. Stiegletz.
"Eggs are the best thing in the world
for those whose ill tempers make
themselves and every one around
them uncomfortable. They should be
soft boiled preferable and eaten four
times a day for four weeks on a
stretch. Then the diet should be
stopped and not commenced again for
four or even six weeks."
None Due.
Lunching in a hotel restaurant at
Atlantic City which afforded a superb
view of the blue sea with its white
sails shining in the sun, Mayor Rush
light of Portland said: 'Many suc
cessful people, many great million
aires, are down here. Ask these men
the secret of their success, and they
won't attribute it to any benefactor,
or to luck, but they'll attribute it to
their own hard work and enterprise
solely." Mayor Rushlight, looking out
on the immense blue Beascape, ended:
"These men will tell you that the kind
of chap who is always waiting for his
ship to come in has rarely, if ever,
sent one out."
Parisian Street Barbers.
The French capital, like that of
China, has its street barbers. In Paris
the perambulating tonsorialists carry
a little box contairing the usual outfit
of their calling. Their chief patrons
are laboring men. The street barber
of Paris usually places his customer
upon the banks of the Seine or in
some spot aside from the crowd,
covers his knees with a newspaper,
and proceeds to work. For only one
sou he will shave a man, cut his hair
and generally impart to him a more or
less smart appearance. These bar
bers are said to make quite a respec
| table sum even at the small fee they
charge.
New Book-Marker.
A welcome little gift to a man or a
woman of any age—providing that it
is a person having the reading habit
—is the newest thing in book-markers.
This is simply a double eight-inch
long and two-inch wide strip of pin
seal, morocco or alligator leather fin
ished along the side edges with heavy
machine stitching, and at the ends
with a two-inch cut fringe of match
ing pelt. On both the flat sides of
the strap in letters of gold, silver or
ebony is the legend, "Here I Stopped."
Don'ts for the Bachelor Girl.
Don't state too firmly that you
I never intend to marry. You may
change your mind one day, and then
people will laugh and say, "Methinks
the lady did protest too much," or
something equally calculated to make
you feel uncomfortable.
Don't say of your engaged friends,
"I can't think what he sees in her."
' or "Men always run after a pretty
face and an empty head." Speeches
like this will earn you a reputation
i for jealousy.
Three Kinds of Fools.
Buck Bryant, the grandest and most
redheadded fighter the state of North
Carolina ever saw, has figured out to
his own satisfaction who are the big
gest fools in the world. He describes
them as follows: "The man who gets
out in a boat and then rocks it for
fun; the man who squints into guns
to see if they are loaded, and the
man who goes for a ride on a bicycle
and lets his baby sit on the handle
bars." —Popular Magazine.
Knew Where She Went.
An attorney was cross-examining a
witness. "You sa: you left Boston on
the sixteenth?" queried the lawyer.
"Yes, sir," replied the witness. "And
returned on the twenty-eighth?" "Yes,
sir." "What were you doing in the
interim?" "I never was in such a
place," she replied indignantly, with
heightened color.
6r ' Youthful Navrfywwf*/*
"You can always tell the newly
weds when they register," remarked
a New York hotel clerk, after a young
couple had signed up and were follow
ing the bell hop, "because the male
member of the firm always writes
'and wife' after his name. Take the
married man who has been through
the mill, he never registers that way.
It is always his wife's name first and
his afterward. "Yes, we have been av
eraging about 10 bridal couples every
day for the past three months, and, do
you know, what has struck me is the
very youthful appearance of them and
the fact that they are undersized. I
had thought that the age of marry
ing had gone up. Outside of New j
York, this summer, at least, it seems
to have gone down. The newlyweds
that have been coming here for their
honeymoon for the last three months
have seemed hardly more than boys
and girls."
Ceremonial Bath.
Considerable pomp used to attend
the entrance into the water of the
Duchess de Berri, who, close on a
hundred years ago, first made sea
bathing fashionable in France. When
the duchess went bathing at Dieppe
her arrival on the beach was hailed
with a salvo of artillery. The holder
of the then newly created post of "iu
specteur des bains" had to be there
to receive her, attired in a resplendent
uniform, cocked hat and white gloves.
This functionary led her royal high
ness into the sea until the water
reached her knees, when he retired
with three profound reverences. The
duchess, who was an expert swim
mer, then proceeded to enjoy her
self.
Good Listener.
A lad who lives in a remote country
town accompanied his father to
church in the village one Sunday and
while there he saw a highly colored
picture illustrating the topic for the
day, and representing young Samuel
talking with the Lord, and holding
his ear to the telephone. Like all
children who live in remote districts,
the "talking machine" is a very in
teresting article and the lad was much
impressed with the lesson. The fol
lowing Sunday he was taken to a
church many miles distant from his
home and by a strange coincident,
the picture hung in a conscpicuous
place on the wall. With a look of
intense surprise the boy cried out:
"Oh, papa, there's Sam, listening yet!"
Handel Died a Rich Man.
Handel, for whom the kaiser has
been expressing his admiration, npade
more money from his works than any
composer before his time. For a "Te
Deum" and a "Jubilate," written to
celebrate the Treaty of Utrecht, he
was awarded a pension of £2OO a
year. This was doubled by George I.
soon after his accession, and confirm
ed by George 11., so that Handel drew
the pension until his death, in 1759.
Altogether for these two compositions
Handel received £lB,BOO. Although
he lost thousands of pounds running
opera at Covent Garden, Handel died
worth £20,000 —a sum, allowing for
the difference in the value of money,
equal to £60,000 nowadays.
Why He Hurried Away.
A supposedly confirmed old bachelor
had lately fallen deeply in love and
might be seen almost any day pass
ing and repassing the house of his
lady love. One day he picked up a
small thimble, which had suddenly
rolled down the steps. He stood a
while meditating on the beauty of its
owner and looking at the thimble lov
ingly. Then he pressed it to his lips,
saying: "Oh, that it were the fair
cheek of the wearer!" As he finished
he looked upward, hoping for a glimpse
of her, but instead, from the second
story window a big negro woman
looked out. "Boss," she said, "please
to toss up dat fimble of mine. I wants
to go on sewing."
Pop Corn This Way.
The days of long evenings are com
ing when corn popped over the em
bers of an open fire will be a tempt
ing dainty. All well and good for
those fortunate mortals among us who
possess wide chimneys and hearths
where we can burn a fire to embers.
For the others of us, there is a con
venient electric corn popper. It is in
the form of a dome-like wire frame
that fits on a plate heated with elec
tricity. The corn is put in the pop
per, on the plate, and as this heats
the corn bobs cheerfully up against
the wire frame, and then drops down
again in appetizing morsels of fluffy
whiteness.
What Women Are Doing.
Woman evidently does not think
that her place is only the home. Sta
tistics recently compiled show that
there are 239,077 women stenogra
phers, 327,635 teachers and profes
sors; 481,159 women in various
trades; 770,15 women engaged in ag
ricultural pursuits; 7,355 women phy
sicians and surgeons; 7,395 women
clergy "men;" 2,193 women journal
ists; 1,037 women architects, design
ers and draftsmen; 1,010 women law
yers; 429,497 women in various pro
fessions.
Giving It Afway.
Being called to his feet unexpected
ly at the gathering and asked to re
spond informally to the toast "The
Ladies," Mr. Gilfers hemmed and
hawed and began: "My friends, all
that I am, all that I have in the
world, I owe to a woman —my wife."
Here he was interrupted by that lady
herself, who arose and said: "I told
you, when you put the property in
my name, you'd give it away first
time you opened your mouth."

The bill now per.diyir at Harrlsburg
to amend the "Blue Laws" so as to
permit concerts, movies and lectures
on Sunday has aroused the widest in
terest among the devotees of screen
entertainment, and once again has
served to focus attention on the tre
mendous hold this amusement has on
the great mass of people.
The picture theater today Is un
questionably the most democratic of
American institutions. Only on soil
as fertile in democratic ideals as ours
could the motion picture have attained
the degree of popularity it enjoys to
day. Free from the criticism leveled
at other of our institutions it has held
Itself aloof from political and religious
bias, from capitalistic taint and from
all racial prejudices.
Men of all beliefs take their fam
ilies and congregate nightly in' thf
movie theaters on the common ground
of mutual enjoyment, and foregather
in a communion of tears and laughter
and applause.
Men of political and racial preju
flices forget for the nonce their bitter

Bel brotherhood.
Employers and employed, scholar
and toiler, men of the studio and
women of the kitchen —all rub elbowt

It is the universal appeal that naf
made the motion picture theater the
?reat democratizer—an institution
distinctly of the people, by the people,
for the people. Is there any wondei
then that the great mass of Workers
of the nation have taken this store

resent any curtailment of its joy dis

Stone From Mud.
The latest triumph in building ma
! terial is the manufacture of "stone"'
out of "mud" that has almost the
solidity and strength of concrete-
Buildings constructed from this ma
terial really are adobe structure, bet
their durability is said to be almost
equal to that of brick and the softer
stones. This material comes from,
the ferruginous schist of the moun
tainside and is screened through gri®->
zlies and tamped into forms likss
those used in the making of concrete
blocks.
Feminine Curiosity.
Little Eleanor's pretty cousin wore
a new engagement ring, and the bad
ding woman regarded the ring and
the giver alike with reverent eyea-
One night when the happy man had
been invited to Eleanor's home for
i dinner, Eleanor, unconsciously gush
ing, burst forth with: "Oh, Mr. Blank,
do please tell me. In all the krm
stories I've read, the men propoae wo•
