CAGE 1EN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1929 | GERMAN STUDENTS SELF-SUPPORTING larships of Pre-War Days Destroyed by Inflation Berlin, April 18. --Many of the students in post-war Germany are . wery poor, and the scholarships of pre-war days were largely destroy- ed through the post-war inflation. One finds, accordingly, in Germany, as in America, large numbers oO. students who support themselves in one way or another while pur- guing their studies. In Germany the number of such students is, however, not more than 10 per cent to 20 per cent of the whole, where- as in America they amount to more than 50 per cent. The characteris. tic feature of modern German stu- dent life is the various institutions which have been formed co-oper- atively. In 1920-1 the German stu- dents created a common economic organization, the "Wirtschaftshilfe der deutchen Studentshaft," which had as its. aim tite founding of va- rious institutions to cheapen and facilitate study in general. Thus there has been established in every German university the so- called '"'mensa academica," a stu- dents' dining-hall in which good and substantial meals are supplied at low 'prices. The total number of these institutions is 41, and more than 30,000 portions are dis- tributed every day; almost every third' German student takes' his dinner at such a '"mensa." The din- pers 'consist generally of soup, veg- stables, meat, and potatoes. The price varies betwen 6d. and 9d., or less than two-thirds of the charge made dn those restaurants which also' supply "student's meals." Welfare Organizations Another institution is the regis- ter of apartments suitable for stu- ¢ | bought. dents. In Berlin over 4,000 rooms | are found for the students yearly in this way at an average price of 40s. a month, including cleaning and a cup of "cottee in the morn- ing. There are also to be found in every German university tailors' and shoemakers' shops, laundries and so on governed by. the stu- dents' organization and working only for undergraduates, at 20 per cent to 30 per cent below the nor- mal charges. These shops aim only at covering expenses, without mak- ing any sort of profit. In addition there are printing and typing of- tices, and co-operative shops in which books, writing and typing materials, food, chocolates, cigar- ettes, and virtually all that | the student needs ly The A irtenatiateie i has also established . employment bureaux, which the constantly re- ported to students; there are always more inquiries' than jobs. During B...¥ terms the jobs are mainly fi{teaching or clerking; in the vacation, they are chiefly ob- tained on the big farms or in fac- tories or mines. Last year the Ber- lin' employment bureau found jobs which brought to the students more than £10,000. There are algo translation bu- reaux, in which commercial trans- lation is done by students. The largest of these bureaux is not in Berlin but'in Leipsig. Foreign stu- dents can also find work in these bureaux. Financial Assistance The third task of the "Wirt- schaftshilfe'" 1s the administration of moneys given to the students' organizations by the state or pro- vate persons, The Berlin organiza- can tion alone spends £3,000 a year on free dinners. Sick and convales- cent students are sent away to re- cuperate. 'Especially to Switzer- land. Last year the Brlin Univers. ity provided assistance of this sort for about 260 students. Another institution also directed by the students organization, which .|has become of great importance, is the academic loan: association. This institution gives loans. to stu- dents 'to an 'extent of nearly £100,» » oe & oe YOUR FAVORITE FRUITS SWEETENED DELICIOUSLY AND "JELLED" M°LARENS NVINCIBLE JELLY POWDERS INVINCIBLE IN NAME AND IN QUALITY' McCLARENS LIMITED ~ HAMILTON, ONT, 'ONE BOX ENDED HIS SUFFERINGS Me.

ELEVATED ROADS FOR MOTORISTS IS POSSIBILITY Hon. Geo. Henry Thinks He May Build Them in Ontario Toronto, April 17.--Elevated highways for through interurban motor traffic loom as possibilities for Ontario some time in the fu- ture. Hon, George 8. Henry, Minister of Highways, back in his office at the Parliament Buildings following a tour of inspection of highways in and around New York City, said he was impressed with the elevated system in use in vari- ous parts of New York state. Not only have elevated highways been constructed in traffic congest- ed districts, but in some cases sub- merged highways have been built in ravines. Neither type is access- ible from cross-roads, Access can only be gained' by roundabout routes 'and they are thus kept clear of automobiles and trucks going short distances. Although the principal highways of Ontario are congested with traf- fic particularly during the summer season it was the opinion of the Minister of Highways that the pro- vince would not require the elevat- ed system for some time yet, It is indicated, however, that some con. sideration is to.be given to relieve ipresent congestion during the tourist season. TREATY'S WORDING JAPAN'S PROBLEM Japanese Premier Predicts Settlement Before End of April Tokio, April 18--Baron Giichi Tan- aka, Premier and Foreign Minister of Japan, recently denounced local reports that Japan had instructed Katsuji Debuchi, Ambassador at Washington, to negotiate with America regarding reservations to the Kellogg treaty for the outlawry of war. Premier Tanaka said that the prob- lem of the treaty's wording, "in the name of the respective peoples," "was not difficult, but that the local eriti- cism was the result of special nation- al traits of the Japanese little under- stood by foreigners. He predicted a settlement before the end of April The Japanese Government will probably issue an explanation and interpretation of the wording of the treaty addressed to the participating powers intended to avoid any misun- derstanding of the Japanese hesita- tion 'in ratification or of the local criticism which claims that the word- ing is in violation of the constitu- tion, and-to placate the Privy. Couns With regard to the Shantung set- tlement, Premier Tanaka said that the Japanese troops would withdraw from the peninsula according to schedule, regardless of the "increas- ing Chinese sentiment favoring a temporary delay." delay."

AVIATORS ARE SUING SYDNEY NEWSPAPER Action Follows Comment on Southern Cross Inci- dent sine, Sydney, New South Wales, April 18--Writs have been issued for $125,- 000 on behalf of Captains Kingsford- Smith and Charles Ulm, of the Southern Cross, against the Sydney Daily Guardian, The action arises from comments the newspaper made regarding the forced landing a little more than a fortnight ago of the Southern Cross, which came down because of a short age of fuel in the mud flat regions of Port George shortly after taking off on a proposed flight to England. The Sydney Daily Guardian com- mented in a leading article on the failure of the aviators to attempt to walk to Port George Mission Sta- tion, a distance of about miles from the spot where their plane landed. The article, for which the paper is being sued, concluded: "Elsewhere in the world the mishap to the Sou- thern Cross will possibly be regarded as a comedy."
