FALL TERM OPENS AT EARLHAM; 450 STUDENTS ENROLL

Record Attendance Expected at Quaker School Freshman Class Large. Earlham College opened Monday n.ornlng, at noon more than seventy freshmen had started registration. President David W. Edwards, said he expected at least 200 freshmen, a class larger than any other since 1911. Dr. Edwards said that at least 450 students are expected to start the year, which he hopes will be the best lii the history of the college. TwentyFix states are represented. The senior class, of 65, is the largest in history. The day student representation will be about 50, which is normal. More than 100 students are being accomodated off the campus. They, Dr. Edwards said Monday, are to be under the dormitory regulations as nearly as possible. He wishes that the students living in homes, be affiliated with the dormitory students, and it is probable some arrangement will be made next year. President Edwards said he hoped that registration would reach at least 600 In 1920. There would easily be enough students in the area of Western Indiana Yearly meeting of Friends to make this number, he said, in addition to the students the college is drawing from 26 other states. It Is expected that registration will be complete on Friday and schedules will be running regularly. Classes will begin on Wednesday, registration continuing Tuesday. The official of the college heretofore known as Registrar, has been abandoned and Dr. Herschel Coffin is now known as secretary of the college. He also is secretary of the board of trustees and the faculty. All members of the faculty are at he college except John Haramy, head of the French department, who was expected Monday, and Miss Long, of the mathematics department. Samuel Garton, new head of the music department of the college, has arrived and expects to boom that part of the college work. Classes in music, history, music appreciation, harmony, voice, piano, chorus work, all will be a part of the music department. Miss Laura Gaston will be in charge of the piano work and Mr. Garton will take charge of the vocal work. He studied under Wltherspoon, famous basso, in New York, and for the past year has done work in the Paris conservatory of music. Schedule Is Discussed. Members of the faculty met Saturday and discussed the schedule. The chapel stage has been entirely rione over and is one of the attractive features of the college. President Edwards '.s contemplating seating faculty on the etege this year. Dining room facilities are somewhat cramped this year. Two small dining rcoir.3 have been built onto the large one, and will accomodate 380 persons. Heretofore da students have had a f-mall dining room but this year so far no arrangements have been made. A cafeteria has been proposed, but definite plan have not been made. Dr. Edwards said he was confident it would bo possible to have either a FraeJZ dining room for day students or a table in the large dining room. The dens of the men day students prd the women day students will be refurnished it was announced. A part of this will be done with students funds and the rest will be contributed by the college.

Mabel Green. While several of the star girl swimmers from the Pacific coast beaches have invaded New York and other eastern swimming centers this season, there are a host of others out on the western coast, critics say, who have not had a chance to match their skill with the eastern girls. Mabel Green is just one of many such girls. She has made an enviable record on the coast. These western girls are more eager than ever to meet the Atlantic stars because of reports of world records being smashed almost daily by the eastern sisters. Miss Ruth Smith of the New York women's swimming association is the latest girl star to break a record. She recently clipped two seconds from the record for the 100-yard breast stroke swim. She covered the distance in 1 :32 2-5 at Rye Beach. The former record was held by Miss Mina Wylie of Australia. That record was hung up only a few weeks ago at Chicago. Miss Ethel Bleibtrey, Charlotte Boyle, Eleanor Smith, a sister of Ruth, Miss Ferd and several other girls have been staging merry battles for general supremacy in all of the big swimming meets held in the east this summer season.

How Did Lee Cover Meal Route? Wagon Dropped to Pieces Under Him Did anybody see an irate mail carrier riding out on his rural route stop a horse Monday? Just as Lee Ramsey, carrier on route No. 11, was about to make his exit from the postoffice yard, without warning or excuse, and apparently from no other cause than old age, his vagon dropped into pieces and spread itself over the driveway. Clarence Foreman, superintendent of mails, spoke of the dire need for a motorization of No. ll's route. Other employes just held their sides. It was supposed around the Post Office that Lee rode his dappled gray over the hills and dales of his route, but Lee says he hired a livery stable buggy.

American travelers who have recently rrrived here from Venezuela report that there are open evidences of rere wed German activity in that coun1 ry. Just how they have come no one seems to know but many Germans have been arriving in Venezuela during the past few months and German commercial travelers are reported particularly active.

As one man who returned from Venezuela last week explained it: "Tf I went to sell clothing at $15 a mit to the Venezuelan merchants, a Gormaji salesman has something just hs good for $12 or $13. If I offer 00 'ays or a months credit the German offers K months or a year. In every line it is the same way. They are offering to takf orders for all classes of manufactured goods and 1 romise prompt delivery. Many Germans are arriving in Venezuela, evidently prepared to settle there and make it. their home. Many firms who controlled lines of business in Venezuela before the war, commenced to engage actively in business immediately after th signing of the armistice. Firms blacklisted during the war found no great difficulty, It is said, in engaging in both, import and export business.

Concerning Wooltex Tailor-Made Suits

Tis a little difficult for a woman to know

where to turn for dependable tailor-

mades this year. Prices are high and are bound to be higher. Woolens are uncertain in quality and very scarce. About the only way a woman has of judging value is in'trusting to her merchant's judgement and depending on him to secure only the very best for hef. Before we decided on Wooltex TailorMades, we searched the market from end to end. You may be sure we could not find better values anywhere. If you have not .een the new Wooltex Tmilor-Msdes for Autumn let u show them to you thU week. SoU by Lee B. Nusbaum Co.
