The deans have until now been held responsible tor student conduct. Enrollment Limit 440 At the meeting of the executive committee a few weeks ago two other subcommittees were appointed, one to draw-up a definite outline of the administrative responsibilities of college officers, and the other to arrange in definite form a statement of Earlham's policies and ideals. The board approved the report of the latter committee and recommended that a portion of it be inserted in the new catalog as the official statement of Earlham'a policy. ' The report also provides that In order to limit the college enrollment to about its present number of 440 the maximum number of freshmen admitted next year be 183, who are to be selected upon the basis of scholarship, personality, and probable ability to adapt themselves to-the policies and ldeal. which Earlham endorses. . In accepting the report of the finance committee the board reduced the charges for board and room next year from $324 to $300 and made appropriations for new physics equipment and tennis back-stops.

Sarkiss pointed out that after one had visited the jmportant places of the old country which were the centers for Bible history, all suspicion as to the truth about the Bible would be erased at once and the truth realized. Rev. Sarkiss also pointed out, that during his visit to the old country,' he found the simple life which the people lived was reflected in th towns and houses. He said that the people were very religious. "The reason for the massacres by the Turks, is that they believe that they are doing right in killing the Christians, because they are not Mohammedans," ha said.

If not the most versatile star in
motion pictures, Charles Ray, at least takes rank with the leaders in this particular lne. He has portrayed almost every character imaginable and breezed through every part with the natural boyishness that is part of his make up. In his latest release, "R. S. V. P.," showing at the Murrette theatre, he comes into a new type, the role cf an artist who is struggling for a living when he might be surrounded in clover, simply because he wants to maintain his independence. The typo adds a new one to the many he has already given the screen. RICHMOND One of the finest pictures seen here in many a day is Cecil B. DeMille's
10 DIVORCE DECREES DAILY IS RECORD Of COURT IN ST. LOUIS Ey Associated Press) ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13. Ten divorce decrees a day was the average maintained by. the court of domestic relations here during the first four mom ha of its existence, according to a compilation by the court clerk. A total of 1.308 divorce petitions were filed, of which 963 were granted. In about 50 per cent of the cases the custody of the children, was made the main issue, while the other 50 per cent of the couples had no children. For various reasons, 178 petitions were dismissed. The month of November with 224 showed the largest number of decrees granted, followed by 154 in January, with October and December in the order named. Since the establishment
of the court, which was authorized by an act of the state legislature in 1921, , the speed of the divorce mill in the local courts has been reduced greatly. It was formerly possible to obtain a decree of divorce immediately after the filing of the petition However, since the court of domestic relations has taken over the settlement of domestic troubles, ten days at least must elapse between the filing of the petition and a hearing in court. Another ten days, at least, is required for an investigation of the charges. "Among the benefits of he new court," Judge Vital Garesche declared, "the safeguarding of the interest of the children of unhappy marriages has become the foremost issue. In many cases, where the couples had children, a reconciliation has been effected and happiness restored in the homes, all for the best of the childrF-A. and all on account of the children.", I

THE FORUM
To the Editor of the Palladium: Replying to the communication in your Forum column, Feb. 9, signed b Mr. Long, we will say that the. board of works of this city does not desire to enter Into any controversies with the citizens and will only answer such communications as they deem necessarv to right a wrong impression. Undoubtedly Mr. Long, like a great many other citizens, was not fully advised concerning all the matters in connection with the removal of the three firemen from the department recently, or he would not take exception to their removal. The former service man to whom, in his talk, M. Long referred, was ordered removed on account of the fact that the board of works personally witnessed a demonstration of the fact that after 18 months service in the department, he was unable to give the location of but one of the fire alarm boxes in the territory for which his company was responsible. Of course no one will question the advisalMty sf removal for a case of this Jund. In regard to the other men, we wish to say that they resigned on account of personal reasons relating to themselves, and of a nature that the board does not feel should be made public at this time, but which were sufficient for the acceptance of their resignations. We wish to state that of the three men leaving the department, only one was an ex-service man and of the three replacing them, all were exservice men, which fact was considered in their appointment. Yours very- trulv, BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

The Lincoln Policy persists inflexibly to produce the finest motor car in the world By finest motor car in the world we mean, without reservation, the most attractive in appearance; the most comfortable and least fatiguing in which to travel; the most fascinating to drive; the most dependable; the" most enduring; the most roadworthy; and by every standard the most desirable and satisfying motor car of which it is possible to conceive. The effecting of that policy is made possible only because of abundant resourcesin scientific equipment, in adept craftsmen; and in finances which are practically without limit. Lincoln policy is not subject to one iota of compromise. It is not subject to the influence of desire to meet a pre-determined selling price. Lincoln policy is not subject to any adverse influence, regardless of whatsoever effort or expenditure may be required to perpetuate the world -known Leland standards. . . Quality and character, as always, will persistently stand foremost. These, scrupulously maintained., price then necessarily becomes incidental; and Lincoln prices are merely what a car of Lincoln qualitv and Lincoln character, scientifically produced, must of necessity demand.
