PAGE TWO : Half of All Students Doing It, U. S. Finds; Trip to Yale Shows How 'By NEA Service. New Haven, ‘Conn., March 11— Young man, do you want to go to col- lege? Say Yale or Harvard or Colum- ‘bia or Cornell or Northwestern or any of the big American colleges? “Yes,” you say, “that would be fine. But I, haven’t. the money.” Yu don’t need the money! ‘Make the money ag you go along. Half the college students in America are earning their way through college, at least in part, government experts ihave found. A trip to Yale shows you how they do it. ‘A questionnaire was sent out by tie Bureau of Appointments of Yale to determine how many students were paving their own way by working. President Angell of Yale says that half of the students of the college an- swered, and of these 52 per cent were working their way tarough, Under Handicap. One of them is Antonio Fresneda. ‘He is a Cuban, and he started under a reat handicap. Fresneda is now in his junior year. He says it is a cinch for a young man to work his way through college. “My freshman: year was the hard- est,” says Fresneda. “The only thing 1 knew was manual labor. “I waited on table for my board, took care of’a.‘furnace ant!shoveled snow from the'sidewalks fdr my room. COLLEGE! I sold Sunday papers, acted as agent for a laundry and at various other jobs, made enough to pay for books and clothes, Vacations I: worked as section hand on the railroad and carried bricks. Stuck to It, “But I stuck to it—while other fel- lows were becoming ataletic heroes and taking part in social affairs, “It is easier now. Tutoring and typewriting furnish me with enough to get by on. “I pay $3 a week for my room. My ‘board costs me $11 \a week, tuition $8.50, books and papers 32, clothing $4, laundry $1.50, incidentals $3. This totals $33 and I find no difficulty in earning it. “The experience has been valuable to me. It has taught me that if. I believe in a thing, Ican do it.” Yale is not an exclusive schaol. for the son$ of rich men. It counts its self-supporting students by the hun; dreds. f (However, exceptional qualities are demanded of the student who works his way through. The leisure time exempt from classes and studies, that more fortunate students spend in seek- ‘ing pleasure, the self-supporting man must spend in earning. his way. Bureau Aids Students. ‘A bureau of appointments whose chief aim is the aid of needy students is maintained. The bureau works in two ways: by granting beneficiary college scholar- ships and acting as a clearing ‘house for work. ° Where the bureau, after careful in- vestigation of tae applicant, deems that a youth’s character and second- ry school record have been of suf- ficient promise, an allowance of $120 of the total tuition fee of $150 for the first’ term may ‘be made. The allow- ance for the second term of the school year and for succeeding terms de- pends on the student's academic standing. e For the first two years these allow- ances are made with the understand- ing taat no obligation of repayment is incurred. After the first two years, non-in- terest bearing notes are taken for the remitted tuition, payment on which is due five years after gradua- tion. HUDSON, ESSEX IN ’22 SEASON “Hudson and Essex .are going strong into the spring season and will soon reach full spo2d production,” stated Roy D. Chapin, president of the (Hudson Motor Car Company. “Our February shipments were 150 per cent more than last year and our’ March schedule calls for an incréase of 200 pen cont more cars than last March, ( “We are shipping at the rate of 200 to 250 Hudson and Essex cars @ day, and it looks like the beginning of one of our very best seasons, “Since all: business fell off in the summer of 1920 there has been a great pent-up demand for motor cars that has never been fully released. In- dications pofnt to the fact.that this spring ‘will see the companies that offer unusual value doing a business of which they will be more than proud, ee “As an ifidication of the volume of Hudson and Essex sales, we are just shipping to our San Francisco dis. tributor, H. O. Harrison, a solid train- ‘load of our product in 55 of the larg- est box cars made. Two hundred and seventy-five Hudson and Essex cars go in this shipment to this single western point, representing a retail value of almost half a million dollars.” Bulgaria Has Done Her Part ‘Sofia, Mar.11—Bulgaria has fulfilled her obligation under the Peace Treaty to deliver a large number of. cattle, and materials to Jugoslavia, Rumania and Greece. The mixed commissions, composed of representatives of the countries in- terested, have parted on most cordial and friendly terms in consequence of the satisfactory fulfillment of this condition. ny Each Capsule bears name Beware ofcounterfetts| Antonio Fresneda at his studies, another pupil; right, doing stenographi ~~ ee: MENNONITES | OF MANITOBA G0 TO MEXICO Are Seeking Privilege of Follow- ing Their Own Religious Be- liefs Without Interference Grand Forks, N. D., aMr. 11.—Some 125 Mennonites from Manitoba, the, third trainload , of approximately 20,000 people of that religion in Can- ada, all of whom are expected to de-j sert that country for Mexico, passed through Grand ‘Forks, marking the early stages of. what is expected to be one of the largest organized mi- grations of any people in history. ®eeing from Canada, where their ancestors settled as early as 1786, these people seek in Mexico the priv- ilege ‘of following their own religious beliefs without interference, a priv- ilege they claim to be unable longer to enjoy in Canada. Abraham Wolf, who was born just north of the Canadian border 45, years ago and who for years has operated a farm and later a drug and general store there, headed the, special train- load passing through here. Children Fined. Mr, Wolf. said that for years the Mennonites were allowed to have their own schools and disregard the com- pulsory attendance of the Canadian schools, During the war, he said, ef- forts, were made by. the government to force their children to follow the Canadian teachings and penalties were provided for all who disobeyed. He said that fines were imposed for as much as $20 for each child who failed to attend, the practice being followed quite vigorously until it Was learned tliat the Mennonites were ar- ranging to leave the country. The Mennonites follow the teachings 8 Menno Simons, who founded, the gect in Hotland in the early part of the 16th century, and-whose book is the basis of their conduct. This relig- and.

Mr. Wolf expects that many thousand Canadian Mennonites will be in Mexico by next fall and win- ter, and that all of the 20,000 now in Canada will leave as soon as their affairs can be arranged: El Paso, Texas, March 11.—Ninety thousand Mennonites from.

HAS ONLY ONE FATALITY , IN FIVE YEARS The Northern Pacific has completed another year without being charge- able for the death of a passenger, it was announced by the company to- day. . “During the last five years, the Northern Pacific ‘has had only one passenger fatality,” said A. B. Smith, Pessenger Traffic Manager, ‘This was in 1918 when a passenger step- ped from the end of the coach, after the train had been cut at:a terminal to do some switching. D “We are naturally very proud of the almost perfect record of our lines. Considering the extent of our busi- ness, the character of operation and climatic conditions, oug safety record is one that few railroads can equal. “Railroad transportation today is such an exact science that a passen- ger’s risk of being killed on a rail- road train is so remote as to be prac- tically negligible. Julius Krutt- schmitt says that a passenger’s risk of being killed on a train in the United States was one in 182,000,000 miles run in 1900. In 1910, his risk was one in 196,000,000 miles run— numbers hard to conceive. A, train jon doés not permit of the taking. of human life even in war, and the ad- herence to such belief has caused these people to move from one coun- try to another to avoid laws that may conflict with their preferred methods of living. Their Own Schools, It is mainly through forming settle- ments by. themselves, where they have their own churches and schools, that the Mennonites strivego continue their strict following of these ‘beliefs. Mr. ‘Wolf said that compulsory school laws have caused his people.to move from Holland to Germany, from Germany to Russia, later from Russia to the United States and Canada, and now from,Canada to Mexico, where. they have been promised absolute freedom fh following their /eourse. He said they have schools of their own which children attend until they are about 14 years of age and where they, learn all that is. considered necessary for them to know to enjoy life as they see it, The leaders, he explained, fear that if their children attend the public schools they would ultimately come to disregard the belief that war is wrong. ‘Several months ago a delegation of Mennonites visited Mexico and several South American countries. It, was only jn Mexico that they were promis- ed the freedom they desired. As a re- sult of conferences with Mexican of- ficials, including President Alvaro Ob- regon, an option was taken for a tract of about 100,000 acres of farming land in the states of Chihuahua and Du- rango, at $8.25 per acre Bishop Goes Later. The first trainload left: Manitoba by way of a more eastern route a week ago last Monday, arriving in’ Mexico yesterday. The second special train carrying 150 people, passed through Grand Forks last Thursday night, and a fourth train is expected to. pass through here next Saturday. Mr. Wolf said. These people are members of the Rhineland Church, which is headed by Bishop John Friesen of Winkler, Man. The bishop is at present negotiating a deal, which is expected to be closed Running 60 miles an hour, and cover- ing 525,000 miles in a year, would re- quire 373 years. to run 196,000,000 miles.” UNCOVER ANCIENT TOMB.

Jaffa, Palestine, March 11.—The British administration in Palestine is trying to stamp out some of the pe- culiar superstitions of the fellaheen (peasants) and has appointed a com- mittee of district governors to advise it as to the best method of attaining that purpose. After four years of occupation, the yauthorities are beginning to realize that superstition plays an important vole in keeping the peasants in ignor-) ance. a Ny Some of the native beliefs are very interesting. One government official discovered that he had transgressed a tradition the other day when he stepped over a baby’s coat as he crossed a village street, His action was noticed by a group of women who halted him and told him, he would have to retrace his steps or the baby would surely die. As their attitude was menacing, he did so to save himself from attack. The same official on another occa- sion was invited to take lunch with the Moukhtar (head) of a village. As he entered the’ guest chamber, he stumbled and he fell headlong on the floor. The host told him that his falling was sure to bring bad luck to the village unless he saw fit to for- go the JuRch.

The labor policy of Austra- lia should not be adopted in America. (2) Liberty should prevail. Broth- erhood will follow: equality and free- dom, (3) All the people should be edu- cated to their capacity.

Transatlantic Trade Journal for January published by the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany, it! is stated that relations with dealers in the United States recently have been re-established, the American consum. érs now being considered, as before ‘the war, Germany’s largest and most important market for this branca of trade. - The report says that Germany, in reviving the industry, has felt the com. petition of Alsace,,Lorraina, especially in the American market, and border- ing countries owing to the favorable freight rate. . Of particular interest to America is the statement of the Chamber of Com- merce that the rotash industry estab- lished in the United States during tho war.is not considered in the least as. a hindrance to the German export trade of the near future. ‘ The journal estimates that in 1913 Germany exported about 50 per cent of its entire potash production while the export trade for 1921 averaged about 5 per cent ofthe business done in the last peace year.
