While the number of students in {the 48 land grant colleges has more than doubled in the last 10 vears, a | decrease of 3 per cent has taken place |in the total enrollment for agricultural | courses over the 10-year perfod, ac | cording to figures made public today | by the Chamber of Commerce of the nited States. “The decrease in agricultural college enrollments in recent vears,” the statement of the chamber said, “ap- parently has reflected the economic depression which agriculture has ex perienced. Similarly, the marked in crease in agricultural college enroll- ments during the 10 years prior to our entry into the World War ap- | parently reflected in part the increas ing prosperity of agriculture during that period.” The statement traced a part of the recent decline to graduation of veter- ans in training under the Veterans' Bureau, but it added that agricultural | extension work developement and agricultural education in high schools also had withdrawn some students from ant colleges. “AgTic al colleges in the Mid- dle Atlantic and east North Central States have suffered the greatest losses in enroliment,” the statement h\\\\\\\\\x\\\x\\ = 2 Pkgs. 9c 2 Cakes SG 3 Boxes o FANCY 45¢ eminist Leader Dead “Agricultural enroliments in the New England, west North Central and Pacific Coast States have decreased slightly.

The Southern States have the fewest. However, a larger proportion of the agricultural students in New England agricultural colleges are from the cities than is the case in other sections.” REICHSTAG MEMBER DIES.

Born on a plantation near Win- chester, Va., January 21, 1853, Mrs. Gerdener was the daughter of the late Rev. Alfred Griffith Chenoweth and Mrs. Katherine Peale Chenoweth She was the widow of Col. Selden Al len Day, U. S. A., who died in 1919.

She received her early education in | the schools of Ohio, then took a post graduate course at Columbla Univer sity. Soon after she became widely known in_connection with a fight for higher education for women, being most active in advocating and trying to secure the right of all women to high school and college training. Later, Mrs. Gardener became & mem ber and officer of the National Amer- ican Woman Suffrage Association; she was on its board of directors and was one of its vice presidents for many years. She had charge of much of the work carried on by that organiza- tion in this city during four presiden. tial administrations and her individual efforts contributed to & large degree to the success of the campaign for equal suffrage. Tn addition, she had spent about 10 years in lecturing at universities in Japan, France, England and Ita upon her return to this countr gave numerous lectures on the com- parative social conditions of women in 20 countries.

She was the author of a number of books and innumerable stories and | special articles, principally along so- | clological lines. One of her semi- scientific articles, “Sex in Brain,” has | been translated into elght languages | by the medical journals, and for many | vears has been used as a basis for re- search work. Her work in heredity also accepted by the medical profes- sion scientifically valuable, al- | ough written in the form of fic “An Unofficlal Patriot” was one « her most popular works of fictio: She is st ved by several nieces and nephews, umong them Miss Helen Gardener Crane, who has r cently made her home with Mrs Gardener.

TRY SCOTT'S SANITY CASE NEXT MONDAY | Judge Warns Attorneys That Pub- lic Comment Will Bring Con- tempt Citations. | H. Day F. Day of Funeral services By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 27.—A hearing to determine the sanity of Russell Scott, convicted of the murder of Joseph Maurer, a drug clerk, will begin before a jury in criminal court next Monday In denying the State's motfon for an {immediate trial. Judge Joseph David of the Superior Court, today ruled that a jury list could not be made up | before next week. He warned that further motions for delay would not be considered and that any discussion of the case by at- torneys would lead to citations for contempt of court. Although the hearing will be in the criminal court, it will be strictly a civil proceeding, confined to the ques- tion of Scott's mental condition since his_conviction. The principal testi- mony will be from alienists. Judge David was aroused by news. paper reports and discussions among lawyers of the proceedings before him early Friday morning which saved time in eight days. He intimated that statements of the attorneys for both sides were likely to prejudice the case and warned that further public comment by the at- torneys would reseult in the contempt citations.

His “Songs of the Bivouac,” ‘'Of the March,” “Of the Battle” and “Of the Victory written from 1913 to 1918, heartened many of his coun- trymen during the World War. Buzzards Spread Anthrax. In an effort to locate the carriers of anthrax germs, authorities in Mis- souri came to the conclusion that buzzards were to blame, in that they carried the germs from the areas ‘where infected live stock was detained to new herds some distance removed. This conclusion was reached when a herd that had been far from infected stock for a long period of time with- out any new additions suddenly de- veloped the disease.
