NROLLMENT OF COLLEGES GAINS |N HARD TIMES Only Four Schools in Survey Report Decrease; I. U. Shows 187 Drop. 2 v United Press NEW YORK. Oct. I.—Drought and the business depression, Instead of decreasing the enrollment in American colleges this year, are likely to cause the heaviest attendance in years, a survey by the United Press indicated today. Only four schools in the comprehensive list included in the survey reported a decreased enrollment of any considerable size, and only three of them attributed it to business depression. The University of Mississippi reports fifty fewer students than last year. “Financial depression,’’ was the terse explanation offered by R. L. Sullivan, registrar. Mississippi A. & M. reported a decrease and blamed it on “bad crops.” Indiana university reported 187 fewer students than at this time last year and officials there ascribed the decrease to "hard times.” The University of Illinois gave its new student as 545 less than in 1929, but offered no explanation. College Man Favored On the other hand there were several educators who expressed the belief that shortage of jobs had sent many students back to school who otherwise would not have completed their education. “Paradoxical as it may seem,” said President Thomas W. Atkinson of Louisiana State University, “the business depression is a visible explanation for the increased enrollment. In the scarcity of positions which has prevailed recently, parents have seen that it is the college man or woman who has landed the job.” “Studies of enrollments show that periods of prosperity and depression just about cancel each other,” said Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin. If these periods have ans effect on college enrollments, the tendency seems to be for prosperity to slow up and for depression to speed up registrations.”

Increase; Reported Among the schools reporting increased enrollments with the amount of their increase were: Hobart college, Geneva. N. Y.; about 10; Virginia Polytechnic institute, 48; University of Virginia, 100; Washington and Lee, 13; George Washington university, 400; Beloit college, 105; Alabama Polytechnic, gOO; University of Wisconsin, “little %iange or perhaps slight gain;” University of Nebraska, 164; Knox Jpllege, Galesburg, 111., total of 656 Students (largest in history); Eastern Illinois State Teachers’ college, 75; Temple university, 13,053 for total enrollment (largest in , (story of school); Clemson college, 82; Miami university, Oxford, 0., 225; University of Denver, 167; University of Southern California, 307; University of California (Los Angeles branch), 114; Purdue university, 343.

Nothing Doing on Higher Education for Prince

Follows His Mistress to School, but Finds It’s Still Taboo. “Mary’s lamb was right!” whimpers Prince to his owner, Miss Katherine Nitterhouse, president of Zeta Tau Alpha pledges at Butler university. “It’s still against the rule!' Prince’s school days are ended. His family is opposed to his hav-

ing a higher education and says college is no place for him. If Prince had remembered the fate that was meted Mary’s little lamb, he probably would not have tried to follow his mistress, Miss Katherine Nitterhouse, Butler university freshman, to school. But he didn’t know this—he’s only a dog. Prince Followed Car When Katherine, who lives at 2350 Central avenue, boarded a ' street car for Butler the other morning, Prince decided home was en- ; tirely too quiet and lonesome. He followed the car. And, although his mistress made transfers to other cars at Central and Thirty-fourth, nad again at Illinois street, his “dog sense” kept him on the trail. Any dog as smart as this deserves a place on the campus, according to Katherine’s sister pledges in the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. But Katherine didn’t feel that way —so Prince promptly was returned home. Reason for His Love There’s a reason for this unusual attachment for his mistress. Three years ago Prince broke a leg; others in the Nitterhouse family thought he was “done for.” But KEEP ECUADQiTcHIEF President Rescinds His Decision to Resign. By United Press . QUITO, Ecuador, Oct. I.—Backed by an appeal from many classes ofi Ecuador and a vote of confidence by congress, President Isidro Ayora rescinded his “irrevocable” decision today to resign as chief executive of the nation.

Katherine insisted that a veterinary set it and nursed the unfortunate canine back to health. And now that Prince walks on four feet again, he hasn’t forgotten that incident. His desire to go to school and the way he wags his tail and greets her is his way of saying, “Thank you.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EXPERTS DIFFER DN EXPLOITING OF OIL SHALE Disagree as to Whether Industry at Present Can Be Profitable. By United Press DENVER, Oct. I.—Oil experts today disagreed over the possibility of working Colorado’s oil shale beds at present on a profitable basis. Mining men agreed generally that extraction of oil from the ground is a cheaper process than to refine it from shale. Oil shale officials admitted their industry is in its infancy, but said eventually a process of “cracking” oil from shale will be devised to place it on a paying basis. Commenting on charges by Ralph G. Kelley, former chief of the field division of the United States general land office; Robert D. Hawley, general attorney in Denver for the Continental Oil Company, denied large oil companies “are attempting to seize the public domain in Colorado:” Hawley added private citizens are unable to carry on the oil shale work, due to the heavy financial burden involved, and said they had urged the oil companies to investigate the beds.

spector of oils, said there are at least five known methods of extracting oil from >hale in a commercial manner, and expressed confidence oil profitably could be produced from : shale. He charged that withholding of j land titles from the “small man” had hampered the industry. Delos D. Potter, an authority on ! oil shale, said he believed it is now I impossible to extract oil from shale in a paying manner, but that eventually a suitable method will be deI vised and the industry will become a leading one in Colorado. Information supplied by the office of the state oil inspector shows beds in Colorado alone comprise more than 1,000,000 acres of land, and that the estimated amount of oil should approximate $40,000,000,000 in value. The beds extend into Wyoming and Utah. EXPECT FARM FIGHT U. S. Board Officials Arm for Congress Attack. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct.

CHINA RESTORES BEHEADING LAW Old Punishment Used Again to Suppress Crime. By United Press HANKOW, China, Oct. I.—Decapitation as a form of capital punishment, which was in practice for centuries in China, but abolished with the advent of the Nationalist

regime, is being resorted to again by military authorities in Hankow in the suppression of crime. The government ls determined to crush .Communism and banditry and believes execution in public places of those found guilty of disturbing local peace and order is essential.

because of the outrages at Changsha. Devastation of the Hunan provincial capital caused fear that Wuhan would suffer a similar fate unless drastic steps were taken to discourage Bolshevik activities. Restoration of decapitation Is significant inasmuch as there is an ingrained superstition in this country that one carries mutilation into the next world.
