These are: First, inerease fees, so that stu- dents themselves will bear a larger proportion of the cost. econd, establish junior. colleges uftder local auspites for freshman and sophomore instruction, and let) universities concentgate on advanced work, ‘ Third; raise standatas,. requiring | | weather bureau, will not support the some critical jAnd none yet, has risen to take issue jwith them. | Receiver on Phonograph Aids In Selecting Records For demonstrating : Phonograph rec- ords, a talking machine has been in- | vented witha receiver that prevents sounds reaching other than the listen- er’s ear.

It has the appearance of an ordinary in- sirument, and can be attached to a counter or table. see Snowfall of Today as Heavy as in Grandpa's Time Official records, according to the “we don't have such heavy snow/alls now we did when I was.a child.” According to the fig- ures, the winters now aré just as severe us they were in the days of our grand- parents. It is a fact, say the experts, that the deep snow remembe by the man who was a boy in the 80's, which reached his shoulders, would be less than knee deep com- pared with his present stature, For example, the statistics show that in New York City and Albany, N. Y., the heaviest snowfalls occurred more than 30 years ago, but there have been few winters with more snow than fell at those places in the season of 1915-16. Records at Springfield, Ill., dating since 1884, indicate that. the greatest fall, 43 inches, was in 1913-14 In New Haven, Conn., the heaviest occurred in 1915-16, although there seems to be a gradual lessening of the assertions that 964 inches, was in 1875-74, but two years later there was only 5. ‘What the World Is Doing, CAS Seal BY POPULAR MECHANICS CMAGAZINE inches while Portland, Me., experienced 125.5, inches in 1886-87; last. winter's total} was only 14 inch lesé. tet Nebraska Once Home of Apes “Unearthed Tooth Shows Scientists unearthing fossils in Nebraska have found a tooth, which they say belongs to a prehistoric ape and shows that such an animal once lived in that region. The skull of a giant camel was also dug up, together with bones of piglike beasts as large as a rhinoceros. Remains of a three-toed horse are among the collection, which according to the discoverers, proves that this animal roamed America more than 2,000,000 years ago. * * 8 Gas Mask and Rubber Gloves to Protect Painters To safeguard painters agai poisoning, frequently | cont while working with materials contain- ing that mineral; a respirator and rub- her gloves have been devised.
