Such Ideals prove an Injustice to the students themselves and to the great producing public which educates them. Obsessed with the Idea that education is but the means of making money and to use It In any other way is to under value it, they lose si'ght of the manifold other values and underrate the value of labor. A sheepskin thus proves a barrier to an honest job, -but may land a place where the pay is fairly good but out of proportion With the service rendered. The ipublic is then done an injustice by having a parasite which it paid to educte, psing his education to extract an easy living without a commensurate return of service. Education will prove no panacea for Bolshevism so long as financial gain Is its prime motive. Bolshevisn Is large ly a fight of the uneducated against those who have outwitted them and if we are to continue turning out gradu ates with the sole idea that they are to earn a livelihood by other mn010 1Is th..a lprodutctive labor, we may still ex poet the :great body or laboring plel to reset- carryinlg the load.

IThe case went to the jury at 7 o'clock tonight, the verdict coming after a deliberation of over four and one-half hours. During the entire time the jury was in deliberation, the court room rxas illled with people awaiting the verdict.

Salmon said that that was the first tine he had ever had any dealin.fs in lilquor and that lie (lid so then because lie neded money and because M vs. Aiken, the woman who was with him in the car and who was one of the state's star witnesses, told him Flin kenschelt would be glad to buy: the whiskey.

LUST FOR FINE CLOTHES MADE HER A THIEF 'Women the world. over, and since the world wis an infant, have been in fluenced by clothes. The longing for gowns better than those of one's neighbor has led to as much trouble in the nworld, perhaps, as any other -ambition. It is in a -picture ip;ay that has the influence of clothes as its mo tive power that Pearl White will ap pear at the Princess' Theatre Thurs day. It is called "The Thief." and is based 01n the clebrated stage play by Henri Dernstein. It is a theme that has always enter tained and will always entertain. Miss White carries her part in it with a .finish that comes only from long ex perlence before the camera. She outs into it the same thrill -that made so .many friends for her dur;ng her serial days. And In addition, she gives eli dence of dramatic ability that was kept down in serials. The audiences at every showing 'will applaudl her work. William Fox has surrounded hIs noted star with an exceptionally good cast 'and has given to her expensive settngs. Some of the scenes are really gorgeous in their artistic work manship. So that not only is .\Miss White's acting worth seeing, but the play itself Is interesting, dramtically strong and extremely pleasing to the eye. $ $ SSPEUVIAL YOTICES.
