OXFORD, CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES ASKING . PUBLIC FOR SUPPORT

(By Associated Press.) LONDON, April 20. Oxford and Cambridge universities, for the first time in their long histories, are unable to support themselves, and have called upon the public for assistance. This was disclosed in a report issued by the Royal Commission appointed under the chairmanship of ex-premier Asquith to investigate the financial condition of the two institutions, which two years ago was admittedly so unsatisfactory that the government granted each of them an emergency subsidy of 30,000 annually, thus saving both colleges from collapse. Including 'these subsidies, Oxford had an increase of 824,710 in 1920, while that of Cambridge totalled 719,554. The commission's report recommends increasing the annual grants to 100,000 each, with additional provisions for extending educational facilities for women and paying pension arrears. The commission stresses the point that today the universities have largely returned to their original function of ministering to the non-wealthy, and have. In fact, become , "student democracies." Asks Better Pay In addition to recommending ample facilities' for the education of women, the report pleads for more state scholarships, cheaDer living costs and better pay, with pension prospects for professors. , Although the report regrets "the comparative neglect of living languages" at both universities, it notes that there is an increasing tendency on the part of business men to look to universities for trained men as future assistants and partners. It addS: that "business salaries now offered to flrst-clas science men would make it impossible to keep enough of the best

men to do the teaching at Oxford and Cambridge were it not for their devotion to academic research and teaching and their attachment to the university." As regards the cost of living for undergraduates, the report finds that it Is too high. In 1919-20 the average total year's cost of an arts student, including food but not clothes, washing, books, stationery and personal expenses, was 156 for Oxford, and 145 for Cambridge. The cheapest college during that year was Oxford, 114; Cambridge, 123. The dear-j-was at Oxford. 202; Cambridge, Marquis Curzon is chancellor of Oxford, whpre the number of resident undergraduate rtudents according to the Intent statistics is 4,651. while at Cambridge, where Sir Arthur Balfour is chancellor, there are 5,733 students.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, .IND., THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1922.

GREENVILLE YOUTH

IN ACCIDENT

MURRAY Melodrama of the highest type which provides an abundance of rapidfire action Is to be found in the new Selznlck Picture, "Shadows of the Sea," starring Conway Tearle, which began a four day engagement at the Murray theatre this afternoon. The story was written by Frank Dazey and directed by Alan Crosland and there Isn't a moment in the entire performance that might be considered dull. In fact, those who appreciate adventure and action will find in this production a succession of incidents' that are calculated to keep the spectator's interest at fever heat from the ginning to end. Conway Tearle is provided with the part of Captain Dick Carson, a gentleman adventurer of really high ideals and education who gets his thrills in Lirt throuh the seemingly harmless defiance of certain maritime and government laws that have to do witJi the transportation of contraband goods. While this illicit form of trading la the basic bark ground for the story and provides more than its share of the action In the piece', there are numerous side plots that produce a full measure of love interest and romance, to say nothing of numerous eplendid characterizations that are drawn during the progress of the story. MURRETTE The splendor of Broadway's white lights have long been the subject for song and story; but it has remained for the "movies" to see them as they are and to show them to the country north, south and west of Forty-second Street. Credit for the difficult feat of inducing the White Lights to enter the movies" belongs to Director Frank Lloyd, who conceived the idea of using them in his Goldwyn production of Rita Welman's first original screen story, "The Grim Comedian." The actual photographing was performed by Norbert Brodin. Those who see this unusual photographic effect when they see the picture at the Murrette theatre will have a good idea of the thousands of brilliant illuminations that have given New York's Broadway the sobriquet of "The Great White Way." Mr. Lloyd said that whilp fco was

50 "JOEYS" COMING The dayof the "Fill-in" clown the property man who whitens his face to swell the ranks of the funmakers is over at last with the John Robinson's circus, now on its ninetyninth annual tour of the United States and Canada. This circus, which is the oldest, the biggest and the best of white organizations will appear here Friday, April 28. Every clown with the John Robinson circus must be an experienced funster and a clown of , recognized ability. The big circus cannot take time to break in amateurs, who must secure their early training with smaller shows and circuses, if they are ambitions or desire to achieve success in the jestign profession. There are 50 "joeys" with John Robinson 50 Merry Andres well known in the clown alleys of the big tops. They are well known because they have learned how to put their antics and their pantomine "across" under the big top. And there's the rub. The cleverest stage clown3 are apt to fall down In the great tent for working the huge circus oval is entirely different from the business of garnering laughs in the theatre. One of the greatest stage clowns of the decade has proved a failure with the white top. Since the days of Johnny Lowlow, Sr., the John Robinson circus has . asserted its claim to the biggest and the best brigade of "joeys," a3 the clowns are termed in white top slang.

SCHOOL PRINCIPALS ASKED TO OBSERVE LIBRARY WEEK HERE In a memorandum to all school principals, Superintendent of Schools W. G.

POSTOFFICE SPENDS $3,600 EACH YEAR TO FIND LOST MAIL

Do you Mr. and Mis. Publicknow what your carelessness and absentmindedness costs Uncle Sam? Ask one of your postofflce officials. Superintendent of Mails Clarence Foreman said Thursday that $3,600 a year is spent in the Richmond office alone in salaries to two clerks who are kept constantly busy running down mail with addresses, but no stamps; with stamps but no addresses; and many times trying to find the sender of a letter who put on the proper address but who left off stamps and return address. "Just think," said Mr. Foreman, "there are 20,000,000 pieces of mail which go into the .dead letter office each year. Think ' of the army of

clerks necessary to open each-letter in the effort to leam who the sender Is. And all of this service is paid for by the public. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent annually in postoffices of America in salaries to clerks whose duties consist of tracing lost mail." N Gives Local Example. Mr. Foreman recited local instances. In one case a draft was being sent to a city in Michigan by a local citizen. This person neglected to put on a return address and left the stamp off of the letter. For some reason, the addressee failed to send postage for the

letter wnen mailed and there was

"Don't hurt him, though," cautioned Sam Wood, the director. "All right," assented Burton. He proceeded as directed and when he reached the recumbent man, kicked him apparently so viciously that the fellow's head almost bent backward. Great Scott!" cried the director, "don't be too realistic." He went over to the man on the floor. "Did that hurt?" he asked. "I didn't feel anything touch me," grinned the other.

WASHINGTON You hear a lot in studios about "speed cameras," but that does not necessarily mean that the man at the crank is a "speeder." Wanda Hawley has a camera-man who doesn't like to go fast, as was demonstrated during the making of her new picture "Bobbed Hair," now running at the Washington theatre. The company had occasion to finish some work on the stage and get to a distant beach in time to catch a certain, tide. The car containing the director, Thomas Heffron. his assistant, and Willliam Collins, the camera-man got away late. They had to get there in time, or fall behind schedule and the chauffeur knew it. As they cleared the city and stepped to "forty" "Billy" edged over toward the door. As the "45"

Likewise, we could perhaps do nothing that would count over a period of

acquire tne library habit. "The Morrisson-Reeves library is planning to pay special attention to celebration of library week, and I would be very glad to have every teacher in every school call the attention of pupils to the significance of the week and suggest that the pupils, especially those not in the habit of using the local library, pay a visit to it and see what there is available for their use. "Among the other items there will be on display in the Morrisson-Reeves library during the next week a very fine and unusual collection of rare and beautiful books. Some of these will be very old, dating back to the sixteenth century. Several . of these books will be very fine examples of book making, especially with reference to printing and binding."

It was three months before the right party was finally located, mostly by accident "Whatever you do, put your return address at the upper left hand corner of your mail," advises Mr. Foreman, "and when addressing a letter be sure to put the street address of the addressee instead of just the town or city.

South Bend. Ind. "Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the only medicine I ever found that gave me any relief. I was suffering for some time with inward weakness. Through this I became a nervous wreck and was so weak and 'all in' I could not do my work. I had backaches and pains in my sides.
