From the Boston Post, Harvard University submits a list of fourteen courses dealing with religion and the Biblein refutation of the charges made by Billy Sunday that Harvard and many other colleges keep the Bible out of the curriculum. The university not only gives courses on religion to those students who care to pursue the subject, but has a special department called Jhe history of religion department. The evangelist said in his attack on the religious slothfulness of American colleges that if he wanted to make a little infidel out of his child he would send him "to one of these universities where they keep the Bible out of the curriculum." Then he added: "If the young men of Harvard had the least bit of encouragement they'd be swept Into the kingdom like doves." There were seventy-five Harvard students in Billy's audience when he flayed the university, but they took the indictment of Harvard calmly. The Harvard Crimson printed an account of the evangelist's condemnation of Harvard, but made no editorial comment on It. 1916 1886 5C There has been a substantial increase in the comfort, safety and convenience of streetcar patrons in the past 30 years, due to better roadbed, better ventilation, beating, lighting and seating facilities of the modern electric, cars as compared with the ancient horsecar.

Probably 100 per cent would not be an overestimate of the improved facilities and comforts in the past 30 years. No. 3 Comfort i Safety and flickel Convenience) Washington, Jan. 27. President Wilson today sent a letter to Mrs.

Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman's Suffrage Association, congratulating her upon passage by the North Dakota legislature-of a bill granting to the women of that state the right to vote for presidential electors and for municipal officers. The Governor of North Dakota signed the bill. The President's letter follows: "May I not express to you and your organization, as well as to the women of North Dakota, my congratulations upon the passage by the legislature of that state of a bill granting to the women of the state the right to k'ote for presidential electors and for municipal officers? As you know, I have a very real interest in the extension of the suffrage to the women and I believe every step in this direction should be applauded."

Chiacgo, Jan. 27.

North shore washerwomen are striking while the sad iron is hot. Homes which have been wont to fill the air with the aroma of soapsuds on each Monday, a sizzle of drying starch on Tuesday anf a bright glitter of clean linen the rest of the week are Investigating the merits of "flat wash" laundry price lists. For Mary, who struggled down the rear stairway each Monday morning with an armful of soiled linen and dove into fairyland of bubbles, Is going to unionize herself. She wants a standard wage, car fare to and from home and a "decent luncheon" of real food. And, the war having raised prices generally, she regards a "fair price" as 12.50 for eight hours' work.

If the patron lives in Kvanston the car fare added is likely to be 20 cents. WICHITA RAILROAD LIGHT CO. E. E. PEAKE, Sceretary and Manager of the Kansas City Auto Show, hotels have receivedi more reservations for the Motor Show week than they had last year'up to the week preceding the show.
