(AD The number of American at udents in Oxford Fnlversily is slowly de clining from the total of the im mediate post war yearn. In 1 9-2 the American men student num bered 226.

L'ONUON AD The numerous rounds of engagements which the Prlnco or Wales is called upon to fulfill often demand lung hours of duty on the part of bis serv ants und attendants, but the prince is uniformly considerate of them. Ou one occasion the prince ar rived home In the early hours of the morning after a busy day and tola his chauffeur lie would re quire his car at 7 o'clock as he wanted to go hunting. Detecting a shadow on the chauffeur's face the prince inquired the n-a.-ion for It. The chauffeur replied that h would not have time to clean th car whereupon the prince replied with an encouraging smile: "Well bring the car round at 7:30. Don't trouble to than it I'll drive and you can hop tusldt and have a sleep." Ifrtiftnlcui I In rM Auto Horns J E R F HAL E A! (AD The growth of motor traffic in Pales- tine since tin war has Increased so greatly that the municipal gov ernment of Jerusalem bus been compelled to take steps to curb the mad careening of automobiles countered soft shale und dirt rath- through the crowded streets of er thun solid rock. This necessi tates timbering every foot of the way at a cost of more thnn $100 per linear foot. At the cu.it portal solid rock was found after the first few hundred feet and enabled the contractors to speed up the work materially. That the work through the wln-b-r months will proceed even more rapidly than during the summer Is the prediction by engineers today. Absence of visitors through the months when the camps are snow bound, and the lessening likelihood of worknnn drifting from their jobs, account for this prediction. It was explained. The men are comfortably housed In tamps at each end of the tun nel, where stocks of provisions suf ficient for in re months are at hand. Each camp him a medical dtxpensury and hospital with Jailed! tev . L, the cities. Also It will Hton th harsh honking of horns, which are distasteful to a population ac customed to living in the medieval quaint n ss and unlet which wem characteristic of tlx Holy City be fore Its modernization began. Decrees have been Issued pro viding drastic punishments for speeding and reck lens driving, and stipulating that after Jan. 1. all automobile horns must be replaced by bells.

The growing of a greater variety of crops, with less wheat, has been repeatedly recommended for the dry lands of the northwest by many students of agricultural con ditions In this section. These rec ommendations have not always been backed up by authentic in formntlon in regard to the yields und probable profits farmers might be reasonably expected to obtain over n period of years by grow ing such crops as corn, pens, po tatoes, und nlfntfa in rotations with small grains. The latest and by far the most exhaustive contribution on thlH subject has recently appeared In nn Oregon Kxpcrlmeut Station bulletin No. 2 0H. entitled Dry Farm Crop Rotation Kxperlinents rit Morn.
