South in the constructive work accomplished and is one of the greatest of the union. In sup port of his claim he read a con fidential government r e p o r t which spoke highly of the work being done in this State. The handbook to which Dr. Scherer referred is a comprehen sive synopsis of work undertaken by the council, together with a summary of the causes ef the war, President Wilson's speech to congress on the verge of dec laration of war on Germany and Austria and opinions of well known men on various war top ics. In short, just what its title implies, a handbook on the war. Fresh Brewer -- Do they really do washing at Columbia College? Fresh Baker-I don't think so. Fresh Brewer--But didn't you see the advertisement on the screen at the theater the other night? It said: "Wash at C. C." * * * No, no, Horace. Much as professors like jokes it is a mistake to refer to them as such.
