There is, of course, some time for recrea- tion, but the colege does not go in for intercollegiate athletics. Park College was founded in 1875. Its charter is non-sectarian. “Of course,” said President F. Hawley, “the work art of our school almost alw stressed, but Park is not an industrial col- leze. We give only one degree, the bachelor of arts, and the work pro- gram on the part of the students is means to an end.” Do All the Chores. w.

GENEVA, August 20—Speakers at today's public session of the confer- ence of representatives of news agen- cies under the auspices of the League of Nations paid tribute to Melville E. Stone, for many vears general mana- ger of the Assocfated Press and now its_counsellor. Elmer Roberts, representing the A sociated Press, who introduced a reso- lution advocating international recog- nition of property rights in news, d scribed Mr. Stone's work in securing legal protection of news in the United States. He told how Mr. Stone, with the support of the directors and mem- bers of the Associated Press, won their cause and how the seal of approval was finally given ‘by the Supreme ourt. Roy Howard, chairman of the boara of thé Scripps-Howard newspapers, said that he believed Mr. Stone’s col tribution in establishing the proper right in news was the greatest singhe achievement in American journalism during the last eneration. The resolution introduced by Mr. Roberts recommends that govern ments accept the following principles: First, that news as a business com- modity is property; second, that th property right does not expire with the mere first appearance of news, either in a single newspaper or bulle- tin board, but continues, and is en- titled to protection until its full bene- fit has been realized by its owner, and third, that violation of this property right is unfair competition.

Y., August 20.—The In- ternational Congress of Plant Scien- ces today had under consideration the problem of preventing the spread of plant diseases. One group advocated a central in ternational bureau for the exchange of information; another urged the dif- ferent countries to enforce laws against the introduction of foreign parasites, and a _third advocated na tional adoption of standards of excel lence for plant products imported or exporteds Van Slogteren of The Netherlands suggested organization of phyto- pathological research along interna- tional lines to check transportation of plant parasites, diseases and insect He declared before the path- ection that prohibition of all was impossible, and not even effective against the entry of some pests. Dr. Maximow of the botanical gar- den at Leningrad, Russia, stated he had found that plants which will en- dure wilting without permanent in- jury have the greatest ability to re- sist drought. He experimented with wheat and fmmd that plants raised in very moist become very sensi- tive to drought. Dr. V. T.

Mark nghthouses for Airmen. The Lighthouse Bureau is co-oper- ating with the Navy mark the 21 lighthouses between Washington and Norfolk for the guid- ance of the airmen with their sea- planes. This will be the first seaplane route anywhere to be thus marked. Figures 8 feet high in white will in- dicate the number of the lighthouse, and arrows painted on the roof will point to the true north. Of the lighthouses 13 are on the lower Chesapeake Bay and eight are in the Potomac. In due time other seaplane routes will be thus marked, if the plan proves satisfactor: vertical beams, such as those which nightly sweep the skies above Phila- delphia, may be added, perhaps with distinctive colors and time intervals.
