A Qiant Airfish.
Mr. Eel-Worm is Har*.
Ths Devil's Ink Stain.
Your Eye and Auto.
By Arthur Brisbane.
The United Statee built a giant
dirigible In BNQLiAND. It tell, killed*
61. Another, blult In ITALY, toll,
killed 34, L*st week.: the United
States Zeppelin, ZR-1, built HERE,
by the American Oovernment, flew
over New York and started for Philadelphia, having first travelled 100
miles over New Jersey. Those who
think the Oovernment can't do anything and must always hire private
assistance take notice.

That great machine, looking like a
rliver coated flsh, slowly travllng
through the air above New York, was
a warning to the six millions ot that
city, and the whole country.
In the morning, with the sun obscured by clouds, the air giant waa
barely visible. Had the captain chosen to go a few thousand feet higher,
1) would have been absolutely Invisible.
Such a traveler coming out of the
misty dawn, above the edge of the
ocean, would flrst make Itself known
hy dropping eough bombs to deatroy
New York, enough deadly gas to kill
three-quarters of the Inhabitants.
The next war will be an air war.
This country should be ready for It.

Important. Bad news for farmers
In rapid spreading of the ell-worm
disease, Imported from South Africa.
The eel-worm, fatal to alfalfa and
other plants, in two years has spread
from Eastern Oregon to California and
Colorado.
Kansas, great alfalfa State, Colorado and other States, ahould flght
this enemy as they would Asiatic
cholera. The tiny deadly peat might
cost farmers hundreds of millions
yearly.

Yesterday you could buy a thousand
million marks for $100. In 1914, one
thousand million marks were worth
$250,000,000. German money, than
worth two and one-half million, dollars, is worth $1 now

OBERLIN COLLEGE

CLEVELAND TONIGHT.
A special meeting of the trustees of
Oberlin College was held Monday afternoon to consider ways and means of
meeting the present financial stringency at Obelln College and of assisting the campaign organisation which
is being formed to raise four and a
half million dollars for Oberlin College.. The trustees are unanimously
and enthusiastically back of the great
effort which will be made In November
to wipe out the deficit and to make
good by new endowment the shrinkage  in the Income  from  the  Charloa   Rafety tunA  -      - 2'42384

M. Hall estate. Already a large majority of the trustees have pledged
substantial financial aid, and the meeting was largely occupied with discussion of how the trustees could further
aid the campaign through their personal influence and their knowledge
nf the financial situation throughout
the United Statee. The financial need
of Oberlin College is caused by the
large number of applications of new
students, more than 500 of which had
to be denied this year on account ot
lack of facilities for Increasing the
That'a what ] number  accommodated;   and   at   the
war does when you lose. But that
won't dlacourage tho next war-like
nation. •

Tho caatle of Wartborg la closed
for lack of money to keep It ln repair. The public can no longer see
the room In which Luther translated
the Bible, nor the big black spot on
the wall made by him when'be threw
the Inkwell at the devil.
American Lutherans perhaps will
contribute to repairing the old caatle
and supply Ink to freshen up the ink-
stains, which have doubtless been
made fresh many a time In the past.
It Is a pity t</ let old stories die.

American school children saved
$9,500,000 in the last school year. The
money is nothing, the saving habit is
everything.
To teach children that poverty la
slavery, and can be avoided by reasonable aaving, la the flrst duty of
parenta. The second duty la to teach
children that after they have saved,
they must help others.
+      +      +
Exercise your eye musclea, and
avoid automobile accidents. That's
tbe advice given by Dr. Needles. When
you are in a car going forty miles an
hour, you go about fifty-eight feet
every second. Unless your eye can
roll from one side to the other at leaat
twice ln a second, you can't keep track
of both sidea of the road and travel
safely at that apeed. Prizefighters,
fliers, automobile drivers, all require
eye exercises to strengthen the eye
muscles. At best, they get weak with
old age. And a closed car requires
oetter eyes than an open car.

The Prince of Wales, under the
name of Baron Renfrew, is In Canada
resting. In aplte of bis disguise a
crowd mot htm when he arrived. The
English know the value of Canada
now, and In future. Tha real England
may be Canada some time, with the
British Isles maintained aa a central

Aa the great Roman Empire saw
the seat of power change from Italy
to Constantinople, ao Britons of another century may see their Imperial
Parliament and whatever ia left of the
royal fatally transplanted In Montreal
or Australia.
According to a report from the county budget commission, which waa received Monday by Village Clerk, F. I.
Hubbard, the village of Amherst will
have to be operated for one year on
$2,593.64. In other words the village
will get Just $10,000 less than Is really
needed to maintain the village for
one year.
The cut In the village apportionment
1r even greater than last year. The
amount asked for last year was $14,000
and the village received $6,700. At
that time the Mayor's and concil's
salary was cut off, the day marshal
suspended, telephone** were discontinued and many other necessary Items
eliminated, Just to keep within the
town's income. It has been found that
the $6,700.00 will not meet the town's
expenses for the year, despite the fact
that a great many expenses have been
omitted. What the town will do with
only $2,693.64 Is not exactly known,
hut It is sure, it will not do much.
The following Is the list of funds
and the amount the village will receive to maintain  those funds:
Amt. Amt.

In an Interview with Mayor J. J.
Smythe Tuesday, he stated that he had
taken the matter up with the budget
commission in an effort to have the
funds Increased, owing to the fact
that it will be an utter imposlblllty to
operate the town on the maount above
mentioned.

o e
same time by the increase In costs
aad the shrinkage of more than $100,-
000 a year in the Income from the
Charles M. Hall estate. To meet these
needs Oberlin College Is launching a
campaign for $2,600,000 for endowment to replace the loss in the Hall
funds and to cover the deficit, and is
seeking in addition $2,000,000 for additional buildings to take care of the
growth of the next ten years.
The trustees of Oberlin College approved this campaign at their meeting In June, 1922, and believe that this
great effort Is vitally necessary to
Oberlin at thla time. The mooting
Monday afternoon was a demonstration of the enthusiastic support of the
trustees, who gathered from St. Louis
to New York City for the conference.
