No Security Tax
In Amhurst Frats
Amherst, Moss—A decision of far-reaching importance on the question of whether or not college students working in fraternity houses for their meals should pay social security taxes has been announced by the Amherst College co-operative fraternity business manager.
He revealed that the Massachusetts state unemployment tax commission has allowed exemption from the tax to student waiters and house officials, janitors and chefs.
The fraternities, however, must
London, Dec. 15—(UP)—Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain today served direct warning on Germany that any Nazi attempt to upset European peace must reckon not only the economic damage it also with "our great financial resources, which might prove the deciding factor."
England Serves Warning on Hitler
Chamberlain's new word of caution to Chancellor Hitler was considered highly significant in view of information that Earl Boldwin of Bewdley, Chamberlain's predecessor and Britain's outstanding conservative, is quietly coaching former Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's demands for a firm foreign policy against the dictators.
Speaking at a luncheon in the House of Commons honoring the new Lord Biceston, Chamberlain said:
"When German statements reflect on the possible consequences of conflict they think not only of our armaments but our financial resources which in a war of long duration might prove the deciding factor, has been a great influence in preserving the peace of the world.
Pressure against the grant, 69-year-old champion of "within our time" to force him to take a firmer stand against the menaces of the Rome-Berlin axis had crystallized in several quarters during the past few days, and definite action was expected next week.
"The city of London is one of the great influences and great resources of this country which carries weight abroad."
Build Trachoma Hospital At Rolla, Missouri
By RICHARD KUNZMAN
The $137,000 hospital, when completed next summer, will replace the present improvised frame structure which, although handled by inadequate facilities, care for hundreds of cases a month and is one of the two principal centers of trachoma research in the United States.
United Press Staff Correspondent
Rolla, Mo., Dec. 8—(UF)—Nationa medical significance is attached to the construction here of a modern trachoma hospital—said to be the first state-owned institution in the nation for the exclusive treatment of a disease responsible for more blindness than probably any other single cause.
EXAMINATION SCHEDULE—JAN. 26 TO FEB. 2, 1930. INCLUSIVE
The present building was acquired by the U. S. Public Health Service in 1923 and has been conducted since 1936 by the Missouri Board of Public Health. According to Dr. James E. Smith, superintendent of the hospital, the only other company in the area is at Richmond, Ky., where the state operates a hospital lent by a medical society.

"WHERE CASH BUYS MORE"
The diary as published is a translation of the original which was brought to Kansas in 1857, and had been a treasured heirloom for decades. While the historical accuracy of the diary has been checked, its chief value lies in its account of the experiences of a common soldier in war. The diary constantly refers to the effects of the horrors and sufferings of the campaign on human nature, and the soldier in particular.
Napoleon's march to Moscow, as experienced by a soldier in the ranks, is related in an issue of the University Humanistic series, just from the Journalism Press. The diary, under the title, "A German Concept With Napoleon," was edited by Otto Springer, professor of German, with historical comment by F. E. Melin, professor of history, and a map by Prof F. A. Russell of the department of civil engineering.
The author of the diary was Jakob Walter, born in Germany in 1788, and a soldier on the French side against Prussia in 1906-7; participating in the sieges of Prussian fortresses, such as Glogau, Neilse, Colerg, and others. In 1809 he participated, again under Napoleon, against the Tirroule revolt, but on a second visit, which the beastiest fighter did own.
Fully three fourths of the manuscript is taken up with the story of the march of the 600,000 to Moscow, with realistic accounts of the battles of Smolensk and of Borodino, and an almost poetic description of the army's entrance into Moscow. Then follows a gruesome picture of the fateful retreat, with Napoleon's disintegrating army in its struggle with cold and hunger and pursuing Cassacks.

Diary Relates War Experiences
One of Walter's sons, Franz Patzric, emigrated to Anaragan, settling in Kansas in 1856. The next year he returned to the fatherland to be married, and brought back with him as memesents a number of articles, including his father's diary of war experiences. This Franz Patzric lived at Lecompton, from 1856 until his death in 1898. His son, Joseph Konstantin, born in 1870, preserved the manuscript, and passed it on to his son, Frank Walter, now post-master of Lecompton.

This great-grandson of the narrator, a few years ago showed the book to Professor Melvin, but it was written in a German dialect unfamiliar to the faculty man, and he was unable to make use of it. When Professor Springer came to the Campus two years ago, he learned of the book, but when he found it in a dialect with which he was familiar. He accordingly undertook its translation into modern German, and in turn into English.
The University Humanistic Series is designed primarily to supply valuable material to libraries, but a limited number of the diary of the consecant have been printed for sale to the general public.
Serious Trend In Christmas Cards, Survey Indicates
New York. Dec. 15. —(UP)—He'll be an old fashioned Christmas this year as far as greeting cards are concerned.
In high favor are Christmas trees, stars and holy wreaths, along with that other old time Yuletide design the Christmas coach.
Santa Claus himself and his beloved Donner and Blitzer for some reason don't appear quite so often this year, a survey indicates, instead the spirit of Yule goes in for subtle suggestion in the way of various slightly surprising Arctic motifs—for example a parked trapper with a dog sled or an Arctic explorer greeting a couple of peninsulas made by animals friendly seal. All of which, of course, is a reminder that after all Santa Caus does live at the North Pole.
The "Three Ships" of the quaint old-carol inspire a wide variety of designs. Trucks, sailing-sloops, and cabins are the favored modern versions.
Cards of religious inspiration appear in greater variety than ever before. Color prints and etchings appear in very large cards, probably designed for later framing. Especially new are many interpretations of the Child and Lamb motif.
Flippant cynical cards have passed into oblivion, it seems. Sincerre expressions of good-will and sentiments of "Peace on Earth" have supplanted the smart wice-cracks prevalent for several

seasons. Even the informal and amusing cards are frank in wishing a "Merry Christmas."

Colors as well as designs add quite a bit to the up-to-date mood of Christmas this year. Instead of the traditional red and green, many cards this year appear in purple—the deep sophisticated tones of violet and orchid and wine. Then, too, are some red, white and blue combinations, and in more subdued mood a new vogue for monotones of gray, black and white with silver.
