In other instances drastic econo- mies have been ‘made in the admin- istration of great estates, one of these being that of the Duke of Norfolk, her son, who is attending the uni- versity. The most recent transfer of a castle at a low figure is that of historic Gwydyr, in the Vale of Conway, which was purchased by Jay Mitchell of Colwyn Bay for £2,000 sterling.

The official, a Samson for work— it isn’t necessary to mention aj paused long enough to say, ‘“Yes, Then he speared a half- zarette and dropped it in d you go away for your vaca- No. the official had not been away. He found the city all right to stay in. And, at_that, he nailed an apple core. Tt isn’t polite to be officlous. so the woman who had just come home and wanted to be nice to all the folks that came her way refrained from further comment. The official kept along cap- | turing trash trophies, ahd when, at last, a car showed up in the distance, he stepped back with spry dignity to correct a former statement: did-go to my in August. Her man died, and she wanted me at the burying.

The woman, having galloped off and spent a big lump of savings, decided to keep quiet. The official extended his remarks: “I know a man that takes his whole family to Colonial Beach for two weeks—foolish of him, with no bank account to speak of—and I never pick up a paper that I don't see where a passle of foolish men and women are | dding every whicherway—some of them idiots enough to go as far as Europe—instead of saving up for a| rainy dav.

And that was all there was to the incident, except that the woman de- cided that the next time foolish trav- els were talked about she would keep dumb. Dumb people escape a lot of trouble in this world. * ok ok % IF your eig€hteenth amendment con- | sclence will permit a free glass of | $10 champagne, go to Rheims and sample one of the very best wines lnl the world. r You will find that Rockefeller and‘ other Samaritans, the world over, have put a smile on the face of this | dignified French city—except for some sorrowful women . and crippled men.

And when you find the place, all daisies, red poppies and barbed wire— and consider the great mound of white earth with which soldiers who lived covered their heaps of soldlers who had died—there will come to you, somehow, the spiritual something you have seen on the faces in Rheims, and a realization that this tragic pile meant the death of youth in its splen- did manhood, because of a mistaken sense of right. And while you think these things, the bells of the cathedral chime out, and because, doubtless, of your own association, the faint sound that comes to this far-off mound seems to voice benediction.

LONDON, September 12 (#).—The sizes of paper are to be standardized in England and the terms, ‘I L and “quire,” used as measures for buying and selling since the time of Caxton, are.to become obsolete by an agreement arrived at between the Federation of Master Printers and the National Association of Whole- sale Stationers and Papermakers. The ream will hereafter be replaced by 1,000 sheets to secure the advan- tage of decimal calculations for the trade. Standardization will reduce the number of sizes from 40 to 18. Engineering Students Quit. Tt is estimated that less than 40 per cent of the students who orig- inally enroll in the leading colleges for engineering courses ever graduate in that course. The number who fal- ter is steadily mounting, it is said. Lack of natural ability is not the chiet reason given by the students in 38 uni- versities and colleges in the United States and Canada. Dislike for the work, long hours and arduous study and failure to see a satisfactory earn- ing_capacity in a short time after graduation are some of the reasons.
