NUMBER 81
Lieut. Pariogirid, of the French army will talk in Lawrence Monday morning at 8 o'clock in Fraser chapel on the world war. He comes as a speaker on the University lecture course. B. W. Shimp, secretary of the speaker's division of the Committee on Public Information, Washington, D. C., in a telegram to F. R. Hamilton, says that he hopes that all University students can hear him.
LONG SERVICE IN FRANCE Lieutenant Perigold was with the French from the important battles of the Marne to the offensive around Verdun. After being wounded and returning to the trenches, he was detailed to train American soldiers at Camp Devens, Mass. After a few months there, he attracted the attention of the speaking division of the Committee on Public Information and he was started on these lecture tours.
Before the war broke out, Perigold was a student at the University of Minnesota where he was completing his graduate course to become a French Catholic priest. When the war came, he gave up his work in the ministry and went to France and enlisted in the army as a private. Because of his education and ability as a speaker re-enforced by his knowledge of the war, he is able to tell the picture of the war better than almost any other person who has come to this country from the war zone
ONLY DAY HE COULD COME
W, C. Gentry, president of the City Club, Kansas City, Mo., says that he is the best war lecture he has heard in Kansas City, and many speakers have told of the war in Kansas City within the last year. He is talking again in Kansas City, Mo., before the City Club after he speaks here.
It was impossible to get this speaker on any other date than Monday. This is enrollment day for next semester and at 8 o'clock, it will be at the same time that many students are busiest with their enrollment. But Lieutenant Perigord could not talk here Tuesday having to be in St. Paul on that date.

Student Council Book Exchange to be Open This Week in Fraser
Starting Thursday, Books Will Be Exchanged Between Semesters
All Texts Now In Use At Uni versity May Be Placed On Solr
Make Charge of 10 Per Cent
The Book Exchange conducted by the Men's Student Council will be open the last of this week and all next week in the check stand on the first floor of Fraser Hall. Students may bring text books that are now used in the University to this exchange and have them sold for them at a charge of 10 per cent of the selling price.
Books may be left at the check stand this week on the following days:
Thursday afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock, Friday from 10 to 12 o'clock in the morning, and 2 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and Saturday morning from 9 to 12 o'clock. Directors of the exchange urge that books be brought to the library, because that they may be classified,Reply for information beginning of the second semester.
The exchange will be open every day next week during certain hours.
TO CHARGE SMALL AMOUNT
A student bringing in text books must write his name on the front face of each, together with the price wanted for the book. After the demand for books has died out, a change will be given to return to the exchange and receive the money for his books that were sold, or the books if they were not sold. The 10 per cent of the selling price that is reduced goes to defray the expenses of running the exchange, and whatever surplus may be left is put in the general fund of the Student Council.
Agnes Hertzler, m'19, will go to her home in Kansas City, Saturday, where she will remain until time to enroll for work in the School of Medicine at Rosedale.
"As a war time economy, the Book Exchange should prove to be popular with every student this year," said Walter Raymond, who with Robert Tanner will have charge of the sale of books. Students can raise money while cultivating that they no longer need. In addition, paper and labor used in publishing books will be conserved by the use of secondhand books."
War Demands Women For Bacteriology Work
An increasing number of young women have taken work in the department of bacteriology who intend to make this work their profession. There are more students in this department this year than in former years, Dr. N. P. Sherwood, head of the bacteriology department says.
There is a moderate demand for teachers of this subject and at present a number of government positions are open.
Students With Training, Say Sherwood, Can Get Good Pay In Hospitals
This, he believes, is partly accounted for by the present war conditions and the growing demand for women in this work. A young woman trained in this work may receive a position in a hospital which pays from $65 to $150 a month and provides board, lodging, and all laundry work, and she has a laboratory which is entirely her own.
Women are more desirable in these positions than men, according to Doctor Sherwool, as they are better technicians and are neater and more skillful in their work of the women in the hospital consists entirely of bacteriological tests.
POPULAR BOOKS NARRATIVE
Some of the books cited by Raymond as being in demand than others are: Blackmar and Gillin's Science, 1914; edition of Ely's Economics, Hegner's Zoology, and texts used in Elementary School and Spanish. Books that will be use in University courses next semester are probably the only ones that can be sold.
At the opening of the first semester last fall, the Book Exchange handled about 1,200 books for students.
