Life It is refreshing to note that a memoranda.a from the Student Council has ben addressed to the university authorities at Yale formu lating a series of reforms upholding the proposition that a college is pri marily a place for study and only incidentally for social and athletic recreation. This will be refreshing to a num ber of fathers who are digging in to pay the expenses of their sons at school and heretofore have been wor ried because those sons seem to be more interested in sports and in social advantages than in intellectual improvement Of course every healthy boy -s interested in athletics and is anxious to form proper social connections. But the general impression prevails among fathers that boys ought to go to school to improve themselves from the chin down. It has been too often the case that hoys have attached a social stigma to those who get class marks higher than C. Those who go in for study have been characterized us- “sharks" or “grinds.” Reference to one*? studies in social life has been looked TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON VISIBLE ON NOVEMBER 27 Everyone in t»ie United States wlil have the opportuntiy of seeing the total eclipse of the moon coming No vember 27—but the spectaors will have to he pretty early.

Considerable sunlight .is refraktec* into the shadow through the ring of the earth’s atmosphere around the base of the shadow. Thc moon at that time will be dim and noticeably red like the setting sun. During a lunar eclipse, recent ob- ervations have shown, the moon's urface temperature drops from 170 degrees Fahrenheit immediately be- ‘oro the eclipse to 190 degrees below eru during the total phase. A drop of .160 degrees in an hour •r two! Some cold wave! Of course io une lives on the moon, for it is iir less and barren.

Of course a boy is a healthy animal and he doesn’t care to be subjected to intellectual snobbery, but at the . amc time, this New Haven memoran dum asserts, a college finds its reason for being and its prestige in the achiamenta of the intellectual min ority among students. It has been generally presumed that the youth of. thc country is some what wild and is out for a good time only. Those who emphasize the things that are intellectual in any group of people must necessarily be in the minority, but it is refreshing to see that this minority has been coming in to better repute during the last fifteen years. There are prob ably quite as many serious-minded youths in the country as there ever were. Youth is not all out for a wastrel life. There still remain quite a number of the elect. And on thc whole the prospect for a better world in the future is bright Thihs memorandum suggest** that The earth's cinical shadow stretch- c,-. nearly a million miles into space. 1 At intervals of 29 1-2 days the moon.; then at the full phase, overtakes the! shadow; but i’ passes usually above or below and there is no eclipse.

Alabama Public Service Commission Shows How Public Is Affected By Passenger Service From time to time the Central of Georgia Railway has pomled out that the continuation of unprofitable passenger trains is adverse to thc public interest, and that railway earning power should be safe-guarded for the public welfare. Just how this comes about is made plain in a decision of the Alabama Public Service Commission dated October 3. 1928. on a petition of the Central of Georgia to replace certain local trains with less expensive motor bus service to be operated on the highways. The decision says in part: "The evidence in this case is substantially like that .hid. ha. been offered before the Commission in . considerable number of similar caws few years. It shew, that, with the improvement of the public road, and the rapid!, increasing use of automobile, for transportation of the people for relatively short distances), particularly private automobiles, the people use the local of the railroads less and less. The public cannot reasonably expect the railroad, to continue the operation of such local passenger tram, when such used and when the use thereof drops down to a po.nt wh.ch Causes the earner to luin suhetantio. losses. If the peopie insist on such train,.be ng —. notwithstanding such substantial losses, then it can mean on y ’ rates for transportation of persons and freight, where the oerv.ee of the railroad used, must he made high eoough to overcome such lo^cs. and provide ^jarner ^ a return that is sufficient to enable it to contioue to gtve good service and make tieceaiiary additions and bettermnts. TO enable the earner to make necessary addition, and betterments^ its credit must he good enough to enable it to obtain thc nccess.ry m.ney at rwwnablylow cost The carrier cannot maintain such credit unless it ,o able to earn upon it, whole operations a return sufficient to constitute basis for such credit Constructive criticism and suggestion# are invited. • J.
