Atlanta, Aug. 18.?Every student who attends the Georgia School of Technology during the coming year must pay a tuition fee of $100, according to a resolution passed la,te Wednesday by the board of trustees after a lengthy sessiofi during which President K. G. Matheson presented the grave problem confronting the institution by reason of the legislature's action in reducing last year's appropriation by $12,600. The trustees declared the assessment of a tiytion fee on students was the only way to meet the financial deficiency facing the school and enable it to operate for the entire nine months' term. President Matheson told the board that Tech would be more than $100,000 short during the coming year. The trustees expressed the belief that the placing of a tuition fee on all students would reduce the enrollment but that it would net a sufficient revflnue for the ODerattan of the institu-: tion for the full term. The resolution assessed a tuition fee upon all students not residents of Georgia of $175, this being $75 higher than the fee heretofore required. Tech asked the state legist lature this year for $250,000. Tech got $112,500?412,500^ less than last year. In addition, the legislature vot- ] ed the school a deficiency appropri- , ation of $29,000, but President Ma thteson. explained to the board tnat this money was borrowed nearly a year ago and expended.

PANAMA HATS. !_ ' (Bulletin of Pan-American Union) Most of the so-called Panama hati are made in Ecuador. The materia] is called paja toquilla and comesfroa a 'palm two or thVee meters high. The leaves ire cut just as they are aboul to unfold, the veins taken out and the fibre remaining is dipped for a few minutes in boiling water to which a little lemon juice is added for bleaching purposes. Each leaf has approximately thirty strands about fifty-five centimeters in length, although the best grade reaches eighty centimeters The hats can be woven only during the part of the day when the humidity is greatest, since the stra'H of the best quality is not dampened, A man working six hours a day completes an ordinary hat in six or sevex) days, but on a very Vine one he spends a month and a half ; it is the labor, therefore, which makees the hats expensive. The most famous are those of Monte Criati; they surpass, all others in fineneas, lightness and perfection. _ Missouri Hal Too Many Wolvos OripAsa Dprnoprftt. At the last sessiota of the Legislature the bounty for wolf scalps was increased to $20 each for grown wolves and $10 each for pups. This is a very radical rise in the price of wolf scalps, as the bounty for many years has been but $6, but wolves have become so numerous that the difference in price denotes the difference to the State between a dead Wolf and a live one. It is hoped the new bounty1' will stimulate wolf hunting in the State, so that the animals trill be exterminated. They do thousands of dollars worth of damage in a year. Uncartainlies "What is your position pn this jrave public question?" "My position," replied Senator Sorghum, "is that of a man whom I jverheard in the railroad station askng about trains.
