! 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."

BATTLE IN NORTH FRANCE
AGAIN BECOMING ACTIVE
IN THE VICINITY OF YPRES
Paris, Dec. 2, 2.55 P. 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.
"At Vermelles, the chateau and the
park surrounding it, two houses in the
village and some trenches were occu
pied by our troops. There has been a
spirited artillery exchange in the vicin
ity of Fay, to the southwest of Pe
ronne. 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.
''ln the Argonne a German attack
against. Fontaine Madame was repulsed,
anil we made some progress in the occu
pation of a trench in the forest of Court
and Chaussees and a minor fortified po
sition near St. Hubert.
"On the heights of the Meuse, in
the Woevre district and in the Vosges
there is nothing to report."
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.
Too Persistent
She—You know very well that you
hail to ask me three times before I
would consent to be your wife. He—
Yes, I know, anil that only goes to
show that it is sometimes possible to
be too confounded persistent.—Boston

a Sacrifice for Inoculation With
Cancer Germs
By Associated Press,
Neivv York, Dec. 2.—ln a letter !o
Thomas Mott Osborne, the new w;:!'deu
of Sing Sing prison, a life prisoner in
I the prison at Auburn, N. V., offers
j himself as a sacrifice for inoculation
with cancer germs to ascertain whether
i the disease is contagious. The new
warden of Sing Sing prison stated that
he knew the prisoner well and vouched
fully for his sincerity.
"He is a man of better than the
average education, or refinement and
had a family of great esteem," War
den Osborne explained last night. "He
erred and was sent to prison lor life.
In prison he has read much on medical
! matters and has been interested la
I cancer research. His hope also is that
! his sacrifice will benefit the many suf
; ferers from cancer.
I Warden Osborne said that he would
; takeup the case with the new Attorney
| General, Egbert K. Woodberry. l*c
! also became known that this man of
! fered himself for the saints, purpose a
j year ago, but Attorney lien era I Car
mody ruled that the State of New

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."—

Easy to Hide It
" said a lady to her house
maid as she surveyed the furniture,
"just look.at the dust! Didn't I tell
you to go carefully over itr I expect
company this afternoon, and I shill
feel disgraced. Every one will go away
talking about it."
"Well, mum," said the girl, "why
don't you pull down the shades I
