PHI HAULS
COST LIVING
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. — The
latest recruit to the ranks in the fight
against the high cost of living is the
Belgian hare. Although this short
tailed long eared rodent is not a will
ing volunteer, it is expected that his
services will be an aid, at least, in
the combat. Thousands of these ani
mal are raised throughout the state,
not only by commercial companies, but
by private citizens, who maintain war
rens. They propagate fast and their
flesh is said to be as nourishing as
chicken, beef or pork, and quite as
palatable. A number of children who
have raised them in the past as pets,
have taken advantage of the opporun
ity to make additional pocket money
and are raising them for the market.

■LULU GETS
BIG WEATHER

HONOLULU, May 1. — Honolulu
will soon become the westernmost
weather forecasting station of the
United States, if plans which are al
ready being put into execution by An
drew M. Hamrick, meterologist of the
local United States weather bureau,
are carried to completion.
It is proposed to install one set of
instruments on Palmyra island and set
up there a wireless station by which
reports can be transmitted to Hono
lulu. Judge Henry E. Cooper, of
Honolulu, owner of Palmyra Island,
sailed for the isolated speck of land
yesterday. Before leaving he said he
had been arranging with Mr. Hamrick
to give this service and expected to
take a set of instruments with him
on another trip to the island which
he proposes to make within a short
time.

RAISED ASIA
(By Associated Press)
BERLIN, May 1. — German com
mercial observers who are attached
to the Turkish army in Asia Minor,
report that the climate of Asia Minor,
except in the uplands, is very favor
able for cotton cultivation, and all
along the line of the Bagdad railway
land is being used for that purpose,
as far as the water supply permits.
Extensive irrigation works have been
started at Adana, and other places,
and experiments in cotton growing in
the province of Smyrna are said to
have been very successful. About
fifty thousand bales of Turkish cot
ton is reported to have arrived at
Budapest last year.
An association of German and Aus
trian cotton buyers has been formed
to assist in the development of the
Turkish market, and it is hoped that
when the war is over the mills of
Germany and Austria will be less de
pendent than heretofore on the Liver
pool and American markets.

CAMBRIDGE WILl
REDUCE COST
OE EDUCATION
(By Associated Press)
CAMBRIDGE, May 1. — Those wh(
return to Cambridge University aftei
the war will find great changes. There
is in progress not only a great reform
in curriculum, but also a great demo
cratization of the whole university at
mosphere. In the past the cost ol
education at the older English unlver
slties has been a bar to all except
wealthy or very clever students. Since
the war a good deal of attention has
been given to the reduction of the ex
penses of undergraduates and the con
sequent throwing open of the univer
sity to a much wider range of stu
dents.
The student after the war will be
offered a short course of study and
longer terms. This will result in a
shortening of the time required for
the university course. But generally
speaking it has been found that the
heavy cost of a Cambridge education
is not due to the fees exacted by the
colleges so much as to the extravagant
social habits of the undergraduates.
Steps are being made to curb all un
necessary expenditures in this direc
tion, and the student who comes to
Cambridge with an idea that he can
spend his money freely on all sorts
of pleasures will find himself on bud
terms with the university authorities.
There is to be a great liberalization
of the courses of study. Courses in
modern languages, English, economics
and modern science, will be extended
enormously. The whole system of ex
aminations will be revised, and in all
probability the present special exam
inations will be rearranged and stif
fened. Compulsory Greek will be
abandoned, and those who consider
that military training should form part
of the university education are dis
tinctly in the majority in faculty
circles.
For the present college classrooms
are almost completely depopulated.
Examinations, lectures and class ex
ercises still go on, but a class seldom
contains more than four or five young
men. Many students whose names ap
pear on the rolls are only nominally in
college, being either on war duty with
the army or engaged in work at vari
ous government offices.

At Dawson recently the Yukon
Gold Company moved a concrete vault
12.5 by 10 feet by 9.5 feet, from Daw
son to Guggieville. The vault weighed
32.5 tons and was moved on runners,
twelve horses being employed to draw
it over the river ice to its destination.
In letting it down from the street level
to the river at Dawson, a drop of 20
feet, a steel winch was used, but this
broke and the sled and its load ran
away, but landed right Bide up on the

(By Associated Press)
GREELEY, Colo., May 1, — Instead
of 10,000 acres, as planted last year,
the Greeley district this year will de
