Among the excellent features of American student life is one that has developed along most satisfactory lines in New York city with the roIiuLia UnlTersity atudenta. it u in ihe na ture of self-help as applied to neces sary expenses at thj university. Many students there, as in varioua other American institutions of learning, earn what they can by tutoring and other work in the leisure of their courses, but with a certain difference that u charac teristic of Columbia. In this esse there exists a committee or bureau with a definite purpose of bringing demand and supply together, and on this committee are member of the faculty. It is this cooperation of instructor and student that makes the Columbian plan aingu larly efficient. Last year fire hundred and forty -three students secured em ployment Of this number three hun dred ad thirteen &!! sbo reported their earnings earned f 104.240, an ar erage of $330 each. Twenty-seven wo men earned an average of $117 each, the Barnard girls enjoying the addition al money -making advantage of a stu dents' exchange. The students in the graduate schools earned an average of $284. This willingness and desire to earn in order to secure higher education thus attested by concrete endeavor, is an effective answer- to "the etui too frequently heard assertion that the higher education does not evolve ear nest and qualified workers, but is large ly a satisfaction for the rich and the idlers, and falls short aj a practical essential of life. o NOT A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE, Not oiio per cent can epvak EnglUh.

THE PATENT MONOPOLIES. Berlin's oft quoted ideal municipal conditions aro lacking even in ao elementary a thing as the REGULATION OF TRAFFIC. Here and there a few helmeted gentlemen mounted on martial steeds look daggers at the frightened truck drivers and pedestrians, but the trade around them is in a state of chaos. Judge Seaman of the United States circuit court, sitting in Milwaukee, has virtually decided that a combination of patents may create a monopoly in violation of the provisions of theanti of the patent law itlf.

If thi decision is sustained the consequences will be far reaching and will overthrow many monopolies covered by patents. Much as Men of Today By JOHN O.

The organized reaction against self-interest and individualism is necessary to the higher rehabilita tion of the city, and its inauguration is none too soon. Leading merchants and professional men are awakening to the peculiar needs which the Bulle tin has been insisting upon for some lime. At the meeting on Saturday the civio conscience of the city will ex press itself In a way that must make an impression on law-breakers, in and out of office, and it will surely have a wholesome effect upon those in au thority as officials as well as upon the large Indifferent class who are out of touch with local onditions.

The new turbine liner, Luesicania has an indicated horse pow er of 65,000, which means a consump tion7 of 433 tons of at earn per hour, which it will require 50 tons of coal to make, nearly a ton a minute. This means more than 1.200 tons of coal a day, or if she can cross the Atlantie in five days she will consume in the trip over 6,000 tons of coal. . o The "parcels posf dispute Is being brought to the front again by the Mer chants League of America, which says the adoption of the plan would mean "calamity to thousands of communi ties."
