COLUMBIA “U” TURNS
TO WAR ACTIVITIES'
I
, r _
NEW’ YORK, May 21. —Columbia
university professors have turned from
■ Greek roots to gas engines, and from
[ Plato to airplanes, with remarkable
promptness under the demands of
war.
The great university has enlisted
even the most academic departments
in war work of some kind. The
streets and walks about the university
buildings, usually filled with studious
personages at this time of year, are
thronged with soldiers and sailors
of many sorts, preparing for sepcial
lines of military and naval activity.
More than 300 Columbia prefessors
are engaged in war work, and nearly
11,000 alumni have reported for duty
with the colors.
T he United States Navy Gas En
gine school at Columbia has turned
out 1,500 engineers for submarine
chasers. Prof. C. E, Lucke, director
of the school, is not a “dollar-a-year-”
man. He gets exactly nothing a year
from the government
A professor of Roman epigraphy is
dericting a course in keeping army
stores. A drama professor decodes
German ciphers. A crayfish lecturer
designs armor.
There is a school of Military Cinema
tography at the university, where 100
men are learning to make military
movies for Uncle Sam at the front..
Every two months a clasj is gradu
ated.
Seamanship, knotting, splicing, and
sailmaking are taught to landsmen
who are going to sea in government
service.
Engineers used in naval airplanes
are a special object of study in anoth
er class. One school trains 75 ordi
; nance men every six weeks. A radio
! school trains men to care for the fire
less used in connection with aviation,
j Columbia rapidly is becoming a na
' tional school for war specialists.

CICINNATI MAN TELLS HOW TO
SHRIVEL UP CORNS SO THEY
NLIFT OUT.
Ouch ! ? ! ? I ! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town
! if peple troubled with corns will fol
low the simple advice of this Cincin
! nati authority, who claims that a few
i drops of a drug called freezone when
; applied to a tender, aching corn stops
| soreness at once, and soon the oern
‘ dries up and lifts right out without
pain.
He says freezone is a sticky sub
si ance which dries immediately, and
never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ojince. which will cost very lit
re at any drug store, is said to be
silicient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one’s feet. Mil
lions of American women will welcome
this announcement since the inaugu
. ration of the high heels. adv

AMERICA—THE SYMBOL
OF FAITH AND HOPE
By GEO. W. GOETHALS
Acting Quartermaster General
WWrJ n
EVERY American citizen should be proud of the American
Red Cross. It is daily, indeed hourly, giving an example
of mercy to the whole world. Through its operations the
suffering of soldiers and civilians is being alleviated.
The American people should continue to support the
American Red Cross. Through it they are helping their own
men and helping the allies Through it they are making
America the symbol of faith and hope in a distracted world.
GEO. W. GOETHALS,
Acting Quartermaster General.
YOU’LL EXPLODE,
BUT DON’T WORRY
LONDON, May 21. —You are a whizz
bang, a five-nine and a 420-howitzer
shell all rolled in one —if you only
knew it. You can explode more
foribly than the 200-pound, thin-shell
aero bombs that Fritzie sprinkles over
London on moonlight nights. And
the only thing that saves you from
blowing yourself up every minute of
your life is nature’s provision for dis
tributing the spak throughout your
system.
Well, it’s like this:
Dr. Ronald C. Macfie, of Aberdeen,
Scotland, has discovered that every
musculr movement is accomplished
by and explosion.. You are different
from an aeroplane motor in three es
sentials, component matter, design,
and the manner of exploding. When
an aero cylinder explodes, just so
i much gas is gone, not to be regenerat
[ed within the motor. But when you
wield the hoe in your war garden,
your muscles of the hand and arm
are propelled by an explosion of part
of their own substance. The burnt-up
portion is automatically replaced by
natural processes.
If you require a great deal of mus
cular power—if you explode a good
deal, Dr. Macfie explains, you must
eat starch foods and take all the oxy
gen you can ge .
In other words, lay off the meat,
eat potatoes, and go walking in the
open air at night instead of going
to the movies.
