The Baton Rouge Business College is sharing this in- crease to such an extent that the busi- ness college buildings must be enlarg- ed is every way. It is the plan of the directors to add five mare class rooms on the top floor and place the book- keeping, banking and accounting cour- ses in these class rooms. The bottom floor is to be used exclusively for the typewriting department. More than 50 typewriters of all makes are now is use. Business education has not received the sympathetic treatment from school authorities generally accorded other less useful subjects, but since the government of the United States has pressed the matter of Commercial Education, these subjects have come into the foreground. The people are demanding commercial subjects and teachers, and it is the intention of the Baton Rouge Busness College to place before the young people these oppor- tunities. The government needs right now thousands of women clerks and stenographers for the various depart- ments, and the salaries range from $1200 a year upward. The govern- ment is also building hotels for the ex- clusive use of clerks in Washington, where board and rooms will be fur- nished at practically cost. Never before were opportuniities such as these presented to the young men and women of Louisiana and that they are taking advantage of these op- portunties can be seen when you visit the Baton Rouge Business College, with its more than 250 students in the Day and Night Schools. About 15 of the Baton Rouge Busi- ness College students in the Book- keeping Department will take the Civ- it Service examinations on July 30. We specially train our stndents for these examinations.

OLD HICKORY CHIPS Special Correspondence. Washington, D. C., Aug. 12, 1918. The German editors are right in part. There are about a million Americans in France, who won't be there long. They will be in Germany., * * * * And many an American boy who used to recite "Bingen on the Rhine" will have a chance to learn whether the "soldier of the legion" was spoof- ing or not. "What is your husband doing?" "I don't know exactly," replied Sergeant Blank's wife, "but I believe I could make a. more accurate guess than I could have made this day eighteen months ago." Life seems to be just one reprieve after another for Tom Mooney. * * * * The Germans are said to have six routes of retreat-each one, owing to allied artillery fire, a little more difficult than the other. * * * * British subjects here must enlist or be drafted. The days of grace are past, and those who have been dodg- ing .service, there are relatively few we are glad to say, might as well make up their minds to "joint out." f- Whilhelm will not be in a tower when peace negotiations are signed, but he will be in one shortly there- after, and for keeps. * * * * It has just occurred to us that maybe those raincoat profiteers had a notion that what our army really wanted was portable, bath tubs. Too many automobile accidents on Sunday suggests the suspicion that our boulevards and country high- ways may be infested with tanks. A negro Woman moved into a white neighborhood in Philadelphia, pre- cipitating a riot which resulted in three deaths and sixty casualties. Philadelphia newspapers have been more or less outspoken heretofore concerning the "odious segregation" ordinances of some of the Sduthern cities. * * * * To our way of thinging the worst insult the Great General Staff has handed us is found in that report in- dustriously circulated among Boche soliders that the Allies eat their prisoners. Well, we fairly eat 'em alive so to speak. * a * * Hoover says the food crisis is passed. Now, honest, do you feel any the worse for the gastronomical sac- rifices you have made? Another gold cup given by the Kaiser has been assayed and turned out pewter. The Kaiser is also be- ing put through the crucible, and it looks from here as if he will turn out all brass. Headlines inform me that the well but not favorably known Crown Prince is heading-yes, you are right-back to Germany. * ** * * We cannot but admire the judg- ment of Explorer Amundsen, who is preparing to leave for the North Pole. * * a * The Americans having recaptured Seringues, I expect to see them ef- fectually spray the enemy. Words come that the,ex-Czar had to be propped against a post before he could be shot. If it had been the Kaiser or one of his sons the chances 'are the victim would have found a H way to dodge behind the post. It looks as though we hadn't yet reached the end of counts against the late unlamented Bolo Pascha. Now they are accusing him of having a uress agent. We may now expect to hear that he was also a ticket scal- per. No doubt the King of England is glad to know that the Irish home rulers have dropped the slogan "Let George do it," for the latest and most popular wail of trouble makers, "Let Woodrow do it." Is this another recondite propa- ganda of the lurking Hun-this dia- bolical suggestion that the Irish question be now unloaded upon Pres- ident Wilson? The I. W. W. and the Bolsheviki have both decided that the individu- al tooth brush is the emblem of the capitalistic class. Also that books and bath tubs are the skulking ene- mies of the real brotherhood of man. * s * * "A little learning is a dangerous - thing" says a contemporary editor. But a little knowledge might be all right--mightn'e it? * * * * Lack of practice is the real reason why some men can't stand prosperity. Our notion of an ideal husband is the one who can go ahead paying L his wafe weekly allowances without a ever regarding it as voluntary ali- mony. The French have. developed a ma- chine that can travel with reasonable safety and make a sustained flight of many hours at the rate of ninety- odd miles an hour. The people of Germany have about. lost hope that Crown Prince Willie will throw away his powder puff and put on a gas mask. Whether or not Nicholas Romanoff had a genuine funeral appears to make very little practical difference in current events. When Hindenburg makes his per- sonal demands on the Kaiser it is not likely that Wilhelm tries to put I him off with a photograph or an iron cross.
