HARD TIMES HELP " COLLEGE CLASSES -Scarcity of Work Sends More " Students to Institutions New York, Oct. 1 (UP)—Drought _and the business depression, instead #of decreasing the enrollment in American colleges this year, are likely to cause the heaviest attend- arce in years, a survey by the United Press indicated today. Only four schools in the compre- hensive list included in the survey reported a decreased enrollment of - any considerable size and only three of them attributed it to business The University of M sissippi reports 50 fewer students ‘than last year. “Financial depres. sion,” was the terse explanation of- fered by R. L. Sullivan, registrar. Mississippi A. & M. also reported a decrease and blamed it on “bad crop! Indiana University fewer students than year and officials Qecrease to ‘“hard times” The University of Illinois gave its new student enroliment as 545 less than in 1929 But-offered no explanation. On the other hand there were several educators who expressed the Teliet that shortage of jobs had sent many students back to school who otherwise would not have completed their education. “Paradoxical as it may seem,” sald President Thomas W. Atkinson ot Louisiana State Univ “the business depression is a p planation for the increased enroll- ment.

Among the queen’s immediate entourage it was expected that she would soon go to Germany she could take up permanent resi- dence near other members of the former Greek royal family., them- selves denied a home in their na- tive land, now a republic ‘Wants Helen to Leave The Rumanian politician said that Carol recently had remarked in the presence of many persons that the best Helen could do would be leave Rumania of her own accord The remark was repeated queen who, after a painful struzele with herself, made up her mind that she must abandon her dream of raising her much-loved son leave the country. The Rumanian people have come to consider Queen Helen very a tionately, and h touchei with her self-sacrificing and digni- fled bearing, the politician said.

'HOLMES ADVOCATES SCHODL ON OAK ST, 1W0uld Erect Building at Once to | Relieve Crowdjng | Immediate school building construction on Oak street prop- | owned by the city, a project t would give employment to many and would act as a relief to the Stanley and other schools in that locality, was proposed by | School ~ Supt H. Holmes at a meeting of the Stanley School Par- and Teachers' association last of a ents night | Supt. Holmes said a building could constructed at the lowest | possible cost at this time because [of the prevailing business depres- |sion and since the building will have to be constructed sooner or later |little or nothing can be gained by |delay. The building would be built through a bond issue, Mr. Holmes said. The superintendent's proposal as the result of a request of one |of tha parents that an addition to | the Stanley school be constructed to take care of increased enrollment |and to eliminate the portable build- ing that is now on the property. Supt. Holmes expressed tu: opin- ion that the construction of the school buildfngion Oak street would relieve three school buildings of |which the Stanley school was one, |but the building of an addition would relieve only the Stanley school. He said he did not like port- able schools but that the school au- thorities have done everything pos- ible to make them comfortable when they are being used. Supt. Holmes said a similar con- dition exists at the Northend school only that building is about 50 years | 01d and has not modern conveniences | that the Stanley school children en- | joy. Only these districts use portable | buildings to take care of the over- flow in school population, Mr. | Holmes said | During the earlier part of his talk, Mr. Holmes told of the fundamen- |tals of a modern education. UNEARTH ROMAN CITY AT LAMBESE | Excavations in Algeria Show Ruing Rivalling Timgad Algiers, Algeria, Oct. 1 (P)—An- other Roman city rivalling in im- portance and in beauty, Timgad, the African Pompeii discovered in 1875, is being uncovered in the depart- ment of Constantine at Lambese, a [short distance from Batna. The ruins cover 133 acres and |have a forum which spreads . out |oyer 21,500 square feet. The Timgad | Alins cover 90 acres. The Lambese | city, founded by veterans of Augus- |tus’ Third legion who were station- {ed in the region, contains two tri- iumphal arches well preserved and two large necropolises with orna- | mental monuments for the dead. The forum has been completely uncovered. There are but a dozen stones missing in the pavement. | Numerous mosaics have been dug up las well as inscriptions with dedica- tions to various gods, emperors and benefactors of the city | Lambese was situated in the cen- iter of rtile region when Augu: |tus quartered his soldiers there, but since then the territory became [ marshy and natives avoided it. New life has come over the old place | now scientists are g their | shovels there.

Observing that *no remedy is a rcal remedy which does not put the masses back to work,” he predicted that increased purchasing stimulat- ed by such a plan as suggested soon would force increased productior and employment thus would in- crease also. Mr. Filene pointed out that con sumers the world over pay as high as six to eight times the cost of production for the necessities of lite. He said that this alrcady had been partly recognized in Germany by the formation of “lkonsum vereine” and coperative buying by a relatively small number of retailers. The Boston merchant's idea was the government, in view of the critical situation, should force all distributors into similar organiza- tions. As he viewed it, mass buy- ing and mass production, being less costly than unorganized buying and selling, would be certain to in- crease purchasing power and thus in effect would raise wages. HOOVER TURNS T0 SPEAKING TOUR Throws Out First Ball, Leaves for Long Trip Washington, Oct. 1 (P—Presidgnt Hoover turned today to his long contemplated speaking trip which, in the next six days, will take him more than 3,000 miles, into thre states of the mid-west, east and south, for | four addresses on current national questions. : Reversing the old adage, “business before pleasure,” the president ar- ranged first to throw out the first ball and witness the opening world's eries baseball game at Philadelphia, after which his.speaking engage- ments will come in quick order, the first before the American Bankers' association convention in Cleveland tomorrow night. Special Train Chartered Arrangements called for depdfture of the presidential party by special train in the forenoon. The tour, the most extensive for the president this year, will be made in two jumps. Returning to Washington Friday morning from Cleveland, Mr.-Hoover | will get under way again Sunday | man masses by | night for Boston where on Monday he will make two day-time speeches, | In the morning before the national | convention of the American Legion and in the afternoon before the American Federation of Labor. Immediately after the second Bos- ton speech, he will make a 21-hour swing back to King's Mountain battlefield in South Carolina, just over the North Carolina border, where on Tuesday afternoon he will wind up his tour with an address at a celebration of the sesquicentenfal of the battle of King's Mountain in the Revolutionary war. Speches Eagerly Awaited Coming as they do only a month before the congressional elections. the presidential pronouncements will be scanned eagerly by candidates and their supporters throughout th country. White House officials, however, insist the speeches will be non-political. The King's Mountain address, they point out, was ar- ranged nearly a year ago. In three of the speeches the pres- ident will be heard over nationwide radio chains. Since the one before the Federation of Labor will be de- livered during broadcast of the| world series ball game, it has been | arranged for William Green, presi- dent of the federation, to read it| to the radio audience later. NDROMEDA NEBUL GREAT ®.°C |NeEBULA . *CASSIOPEIA 3 Andromeda's great nebula (lower) October skies. then above the handle. BY ROBERT H. BAKER (Professor of Astronomy, University of Illinois) Urbana, Ill. () — The most dis- tant object of all the celestial scen- ery that is visible to the naked eye is the great nebula in Andromeda ‘Whoever first noticed it establish K / / SQUARE® (AROE ‘(\PEGASL.';/ \Y/ is chief of celestial objects in To find it first look for the square of Pegasus (map), QFFICERS ELECTED - BY SCHOOL SOGIETY ed a world's record for far seeingh that can never be broken with the eye alone. This remarkable nebula appears in the east in the evenings of October. It is-easy to find. /Look first for the square of Peg- asus in the eastern sky; its cor- ners are marked by four bright stars. Suppose now that the square represents the bowl of a very large dipper and look toward the left for the handle. The dipper figure of seven bright stars is not usually included among the celestial dippers. The descrip- tion is given formally only to the Great Dipper and the Little Dipper in the north and to the inverted Milk Dipper in the southern sky. But it is a creditable dipper of its kind and directs the eye to the neb- ula. Look now at the.second star in the handle Just above the bright star and near- ly in line with it are two fainter stars. A little above the upper one and to the right there is a faintly luminous hazy patch. This is the great nebula in Andromeda. The enormous distance of this object became known only five years ago when it was mecasured at the Mount Wilson observatory. The distance is 900,000 light years. To find its equivalent in miles we must multiply 186,284 miles, the speed of light per second, by 31,- 500,000, approximately the number | of seconds in a year, and then again by nearly a million. The result is not far from 6,000,000,000,000,000,~ 000 miles. To the naked eyve the Andromeda nebula is merely a dim glow. Phota- graphs with powerful telescopes show it as a flat spiral structure presented obliquely to us. It is the | largest and brightest of the spiral nebulae. The spirals are huge aggregations of stars far more remote than the stars which form our constellations and even far beyond the Milky Way.
