INSTALLS DR. S. C. BLACK ON OCTOBER 22 ning. This will take place In the gymnasium.

Although formal invitations will be issued to every alumnus of the college the exercises will be open to the public and everyone Is. heartily Invited. Washington' Jefferson college opened Wednesday, Sept. 24, and the president-elect had the privilege of welcoming the largest number of students in the history of the Institution. There are almost 400 and it is expected that the registration will "go over the top" of that number, which has long been the goal of Robert M.

Murphy, college secretary. The new students total 172, 17 of whom entered the three upper classes. The freshman class of 155 is by far the largest entering class In the life of the college. That of a year ago, which was th largest up to that time, numbered only 122. The enrollment is Increased also by the return to school of a large number of service men.

TO RAISE ENDOWMENT. On the recommendation of MaJ. Black the board of trustees has Just inaugurated a campaign for $2,500,000. Its present endowment Is $1,029,000, besides buildings and grounds valued at about $300,000. "The money Is needed for the addition of new chairs, to meet Increased attendance, and the demand for somewhat extended courses, the provision of scholarships for needy men, the building and equipment of certain buildings used for many years, the establishment of a chair for Bible major first In the government Intel" ligence department, of which th morals work was then a division.

On the organization of the Moral" branch, MaJ. Black was transferred to it, and remained there until ti enel of his war service. Dr. Black Is the author of numerou religious books among which are "Plain Answers to Religious Questions Modern Men are Asking," "Building a Working Church." and "Progress la Christian Culture." He Is also a contributor to magazines on religious subjects. Except for a few weeks last summer when he took a trip to Alaska, MaJ.

Black has been steadily "on the job" at his college since June 7, last. When not In his office Dr. Black It traveling about preaching or lecturing in the interest of that institution. torate of the First Presbyterian church, Indiana, Pa. Maj.

Black comes to the college presidency with unusual equipment In the way of experience. He has been a soldier, an administrator, a pastor, an author, a lecturer, a professor and a business man. Added to this he is one of the youngest college presidents In the United States. He was 50, years old Sept. 6, last.

Dr. Black was one of the few clergymen commissioned In the United States army In a branch other than the chaplain corps. It was at Camp Gordon, near Atlanta, where MaJ. Black made his military record. The work of Dr.

Black among the men attracted the attention of the officers at the camp, with the result that he was made morals officer there early in 1913. He was commissioned study and missions and a department of economics and public service," said Dr. Black. Already the alumni organization has launched a movement of which John McCarney Kennedy, of the First National Bank building, Pittsburg, is secretary. In brief it is that each alumnus shall pay the Alumni organization $5.00 each year until his death.

"Dr. Black, the new president. Is taking hold energetically," wrote Mr. Kennedy, and added, "He has a huge task and should not be expected to swing it alone; let's help him." HAS VARIED CAREER. MaJ.

Mclntyre. Special Correspondent THE PRESS. New Tork, Oct. 4. The police and the populace are unable to explain the sudden crime wave that is weeping New York.

It is particularly an offshoot of the underworld and for daring it has never been equalled. Bank tellers are stuck-up In broad daylight, men and women are held up in the street before dark and after, messenger boys walk off with more than a million dollars In securities In a month. Black-jacking is not confined to dark alleyways any more. Two young men In the latest Broadway clothes stepped up to the cashier of the Btrand Roof at noon this week and poked guns under his nose. When he showed resistance they slugged him and walked A off with $3,000.

Thirty feet away young couples were employing the noon hour tn jazzing to the tune of a brass band. There Is no question, acording to tho health commissioner of New Tork, about more drugs being used than ever since prohibition became effective and some of the police officials believe that most of the crimes are the work of drug fiends. However, the three hotel bandits who robbed eight hotels in a week by the stick-up method were not dope fiends it was found when they were caught. There are many reasons offered for the sudden reign of lawlessness. One disciple of Freud writing to a New Tork newspaper, declares that repression of the people Is responsible for the wave of crime that Is sweeping the world and points to the Chicago and Omaha race riots as being impossible under non-prohibition.

"It has been proved," he writes, "that when you repress a people they suddenly burst out In a spasm of violence. This will continue until legislators learn to keep their hands off." Another view is that many of the hold-up men arrested are soldiers who have been out of Jobs since they left the service and la many Instances they complain that their family ties have been broken up and they are going to make society pay. Still others believe ft Is a Bolshevistic plan. "Whatever it is. It is making the metropolis unsafe for the Wayfarer.

People are being slugged and robbed right in the heart of the city while the police are down In the East Side coffee houses creaking up harmless stuss games and smashing HP the furniture. SAMUEL CHARLES BLACK. Rev. Dr. Samuel Charles Black, formerly a major in the United States army, will be inaugurated as president of historic Washington and Jefferson college, Washington, on Wednesday, Oct.

22. This institution of learning is only 31 miles from Pittsburg and many of its citizens are in front of his home. He was promptly refused. "But do you know who I am? I am Arnold Daly." "It wouldn't make any difference if you were Charlie Chaplin" replied the man slamming the door with a bang. Pittsburg might well employ Miss Helen Curry, daughter of Thomas Curry, of the Belasco offices, as a super press agent.

Miss Curry believes that Pittsburg Is the garden spot of the world, despite the fact The great height to which the American home has reached in recent years with its beautiful furniture and modem conveniences and comfort is due almost entirely to the broad application of credit. Today in this country where the credit plan is almost universally in vogue, the home of the. average working man possesses more beautiful furniture and more modern conveniences than th.e workman's home of any other nation. When Uncle Sam decided to sell his Liberty Bonds on the partial payment plan basis, he gave the fullest recognition to a business principle which has worked out so successfully in the development of the home life of millions of people.

I was rather pouty about being away from New Tork and Miss Gordon decided to show me the real Pittsburg. "The next day I saw the many beautiful homes, the stores and shops and among other things the exhibition of wonderful impressionistic paintings by Edward Trumbull' in a department store. Then we walked to the Point where I saw the great rivers coming together. Across the Point bridge we walked and up the Duquesne Heights incline, I saw the city from the heights of Mt. Washington it was one of the mqst inspiring sights I ever saw, even surpassing the famous inspiration point on Riverside drive.
