OLD TIME HARVARD LAWS : When Students Had to Get the Presi dent's Permission to Smoke j Imagine a twentieth century Har vard undergraduate asking the presi- I dent of the university for permission | to smoke or buy a drink. Yet perm is j sion was necessary in the eighteenth , century, according to the history of ! Harvard before 1780. One college rule read: "No scholar shall take tobacco unless j permitted by ye president with y 0 con | sent of his parents or guardian and on j good reason first given by a physician j and then in d sober and private man ] ner." Further, "No scholar shall unneees j sarily frequent any tavern or victual | ing house in Cambridge to eat or drink there without leave from ye president I or one of ye tutors." Another regulation read: "If any scholar be guilty of drunk enness he shall be fined 5 shillings and make a public confession. No under | graduate shall keep by him distilled i spirituous liquors, nor 'shall he us e any j such drinks as punch or flip." Saturday evenings all students were j required to retire to their chambers at sunset and not unnecessarily leave them.—New York World.

M.—The French War Office gave out an officinl announcement in Paris this afternoou as follows: "In the region to the south of Ypres and Saint Kloy an attack of the enemy against an entrenchment taken by our troops during the day was repulsed by us. Our artillery inflicted damage on a group of three batteries of heavy ar tillery of the enemy.

In the region between Ven drose-Craonne there has been bombard ment, to which the French artillery re plied with success, accomplishing the destruction of a battery.

LATE WAR" NEWS SUMMARY Continued From Flriit Pane, j check the forward movement of Aus tria's invading forces. The Servians S have been forced to fall back behind . strong natural positions. Official reports concerning the cam | paign in Russian Poland which were available in to-day's dispatches still I failed to make clear the confused sit- I nation in the east, where for days a | great Russian victory has been claimed !in unofficial advices from Petrograd j and London. Earl Kitchener's statement in the ' Houso of Commons that the Germans \ had suffered the greatest disaster in their history remained opon to challenge by Berlin. It is said that the powerful Teuton armies, driven on the desperate efforts by the peril of their position, have cut their way through solid lines of enveloping Russians. What it has cost has not yet been told, but it is in dicated that the Germans, in extricat ing themselves, have inflicted enormous losses on the enemy and have in turn paid a terrible price. If it be true that the Germans have freed themselves from the danger of the Bussian defeat in Poland the sit uation to the north and south is still j pictured as menacing for them. The ; importance of the campaign to the i campaign to the north is Indicated by the fact that Emperor William has gone : into East Prussia to direct personally ! the movements against the invading Russians. Nowhere else is German ter \ ritory threatened by an invading army, except in a small part of Alsace which has been held by the French since the early days of the war. To the south in Galacia, also the Russians are reported : to be pressing forward victoriously, sur | rounding Cracow on the three sides. 1 The fall of this stronghold might bring ' to Germany the danger of invasion from | this quarter. In the west reports of furious fight ing along the Yser canal in Belgium which have been current for the last j two days still lack confirmation. So far as official advices show, the situation all along the battle line of 280 miles is quiet, and whether the Germans have decided to make another great effort to | break through in the northwest is not j yet disclosed. CHRISTMAS FIRE WARNING State Marshal Tells How to Avoid Dis asters of the Yuletide J. L. Baldwin, State lire marshal, to day issued a warning against the dan ger of Christmas tree fires. He said iu [ part: "Flimsy decorations should never [ be used. They have been the cause of much sadness and many deaths. Deco rations of no kind should be used near gas jets. An air current may cause a disastrous fire. "Where possible, electricity should be used for lighting trees or for deco rative purposes and the wiring should j be done by a competent electrician. "If trees are to be lighted, other than by electricity, see that the chil dren do not light or relight the candles. Frequently clothing is set afire by per mitting this. Avoid the possibility. The tree will also burn when dry. "Paper, cotton or other decorations of a flimsy material should not be used. Use metallic tinsel or uninflam mable material and see that trees are securely fastened, so that children can not pull tihe tree over when reaching for things. "If presents are distributed from the tree, either at home or at a public entertainment, care Should be taken in handling them to avoid the pos sibility of a firo. "Avoid mechanical toys that require alcohol or gasoline or other dangerous oil to operate them. "Never permit cotton to be used beneath trees, to give the appearance of snow. If the appearance of snow is desired, for any purpose, use mineral wool or asbestos. It will not burn and gives a btjtter effect than cotton. " Matcihes should never be left with in the reach of children. Don't let smokers throw lighted cigars, cigar ettes or matches about in a careless manneT. "Strive to prevent casualties, but ■be prepared for an emergency by hav ing placed convemiently fire extinguish ers or buckets filled with water." Vanished Vegetation The ancient vegetation which grew in South Carolina and Georgia during upper cretaceous ami eocene time—or, as geologists state, at. least several mil lion years ago—included the sequoia or "big tree," now confined to the Pa cific coast. Also there were three kinds of arancarias or Xorfolk island pines, which at the present time live only in South America and Australia, a pine with the leaves in clusters of three, as in the living pitch pine, and a num ber of cypress-like trees whieh were once widely spread over the world but are now extinct.

V NO MORE LAVISH SPENDERS New York's SweU Dining Places Mounts Their Passing "Hotels and restaurants are expect ing something more than usual from society this winter," said one hotel man, who is as well up on the restaur ant situation as anybody in New York. "It. is believed that fashionable people will do little entertaining in their homes. It will be cheaper and easier to invite their friends to a restaurant, where they may have dancing after the dinner. "As a matter of fact, the day of the lavish spender is gone, so far as New York is concerned. We shall never see again the era that ended nine or ten years ago. Those were the days when men from Chicago or Pittsburgh vied with each other in the extravagance of their entertainments. It was noth ing for a dinner to cost $25 a cover. Nowadays the average is about $1.50. "The change in spending habits has forced the hotels to becotno cost ac countants. The manager of every mod ern house is now able to know, when a mutton chop is placed on th c table, just now much of each item the hotel's expenses that chop has to carry."— New York Times.
