T. C. Is Popular. Two departments of Georgetown University, the law school and the college, were in full operation today. With a freshman class nearly as large as the total enrollment at the Hilltop a few years ago, the college began its Fall academic year this morning. Approximately 450 fresh- men will be registered before tonight, it was said, or about 150 more than the record of last year. The new north building, opened vesterday for the first time, is oc- cupled by seniors, thereby releasing additional dormitory space for the un- usual number of freshmen. Students also are occupying the old north building, which was remodeled during the Summer. Enrollment in the Reserve Officers Training Corps unit, which has been given a “distinguished” rating by the ‘War Department, is exceeding all ex- pectations. The maxiumum strength of 438 cadets, it was said, will be reached before the end of next week. bout 150 recruits were taken in yes- rve Officers Training Corps activities will be conducted at George- to the enlarged quarters provided for the unit in the new building. The Regular Army sergeants on detall were busy today distributing uni- forms and equipment. Morning classes at the School of Law also opened today with en enroll- ment of about 300. The law school 1s now in full operation, late afternoon classes having started last week. Exercises in honor of the new academic year will be held at the Hill- top Friday morning when Rev. Louis J. Gallagher, S. J., dean of the col- lege, and Rev. Charles W. Lyons, 8. J., president of Georgtown Uni- \ers!ty, ‘will address the student body. Dedication of the new building is scheduled to take place soon. e GAVE HICCOUGH CURE. Plato Describes Eryzimachus’ Means of Helping Aristophanes. LONDON, September 22 (P).— Plato had a “sure cure” for hiccough, as described by Dr. C. F. T. East In the Lancet. k; Aristophanes, so Plato says, had the hiccoughs so badly he could not speak. So Eryzimachus, the phy- siclan, was called in. “Hold ‘your breath, and if after doing this for some time your hic- cough is no better, gargle with a lit- tle water. If it still continues, tickle your nose with something and sneeze. After you have sneezed once or twice the most violent hiccough is sure to go,” the doctor prescribed. Aristophanes was cured after he reached the sneezing stage. o By There are only two theaters in Tokio, Japan, at which actresses can appea; New Apartments Tiverton, 1121 1 room, grill, bath + 1 room, kitchen, bath 24th St. $35.50 to $37.50 $42.50 2 rooms, kitchen, bath $55.50 to $59.50 ' Penfield, 909 20th St. Ready About October 1st 1 room, grill, bath $37.50 to $38.50 1 room, kitchen, bath $42.50 to $47.50 2 rooms, kitchen, bath 734 Park Road $60.50 2 rooms, kitchen, bath $40.50 to $47.50 3 rooms, kitchen, bath $50.50 Some have screened porches L.W.

Read what dentists have to say about this: VERY reader of Listerine advertising knows about halitosis (unpleasant breath), thatinsidious thing that not even your best friends discuss with you.: think halitosis is only a state of mind. Out of simple curiosity we put this question up to a carefully selected list of dentists—1000 of them—and ina letter asked them the following: Do you ever use Listerine, in self-defense, in the mouth of a patient troubled with halitosis, unpleasant breath? Please answer if you use it this way (1) Frequently, (2) Occasionally, or (3) Never. Four hundred and forty replied as follows: 83% said “Frequently” 15% said “Occasionally” Only 2% said *‘Never.” Yet there are still a few ‘‘doubting Thomas" folks who Now, what human being meets halitosis at closer range, face to face, than the dentist?

HEADS PUZZLED OVER JAIL ADDITION Ask Fine Arts Body to Decide Be- tween Brick and Brown Stone for Dormitory. The Commission of fine Arts was asked today by the District Com- missioners to determine whether the proposed dormitory addition to the District fall should be bullt of brick or brown stone. The use of brick will cut the cost of the project $40,000, it is estimated, although brown stone would have the ad- vantage of harmonizing with the existing structure. The Commissioners opened bids last PTEMBER 1926. week for the jail addition. The lowest proposal, $282,000 was $14,000 in ex- cess of the funds available. Several alternatives were included the specifications, however, so that by omitting or changing some of the details, a contract may be awarded without advertising for new bids. While the biggest item of possible saving would be the substitution of | 22, in brick for brown stons, the Commis- 7 sioners were reluctant to authorize | the most. economical material without the advice of the Commission of Fine Arts.
