YALE PLANS NEW
DEGREE FOR HER
STUDENTS IN WAR
New Haven. Nov. 1 A suggestion
that the degree of bachelor of mtl
tary science be conferred on men who
have left college to enter war service,
rather than the regular1 college degree,
is made tn a letter from President E.
M. Hopkins of Dartmouth college to
the Tale News and made public here
today. President Hopkins says:
. "I want , to say iricst definitely that
I tninK notning is ito iwiu ir ihhc
men who have left college and gone
Into service. X am not sure, how
ever, that the best thin for them or
for the college Is to give the regular
degree. I am Inclined to think that
the. fairest thing, and probably the
most satisfactory thing, would be to
give a special degree -such as per
haps, bachelor of military science, or
something of this sort.
"I need not say that I- should not
consider this proposed degree- inferior
in any way to the ' regular one., ' It
would simply, be different, and fully
significant of the actual record of the
Villa , Clashes With
Government Troops
Presidio, Texas, Nor. 14. Fighting
between Villa ' forces and Mexican
government troop began at Ojlnaga
at E: 20 a. m. today. The attack start
el from the southwest and grew with
the approach of daylight into a con
stant flf rifla hnta
No artillery, machine guns or hand
bombs were used In the first attack.
Aimed can patrols are guarding the
ford opposite OJinaga. , It is reported
that bullets are falling on the Ameri
can- side of the Rio Grande.
V THE WEATHER
' New Haven, Nov. 14 For
Bridgeport and vicinity: Fair to
. night and probaWy Thursday.
Connecticut: Fair tonight and
probably ' Thursday; moderate
north winds on the coast, proba
bly Increasing.
The southern disturbance has
caused ruin daring the last 24
hoars on the south Atlantic coast
from Florida northward to North
. Carolina. The rain does not ex
tend very far inland. Pleasant
weather prevails in all other dis
, tllcts east-of the Rocky monn-
tBrns. The pressure Is consider -'
ably above the normal in all the
northern districts. The minimum
temperatures last night along; the
northern border were slightly be-.
, on freezing. There has been no
derided change in temperature in
' any district east of the Rocky
mountains during the last 34
hours. t
. Conditions favor for this vicinity
generally fair weather and not
' much change in temperature.

. Dandruff causes a feverish irritation
of the scalp, the hair roots shrink,

fast. To stop falling hair at once and
rid the scalp ' of. every, particle of
dandruff, get a 25-cent bottle of Dan
derine at any drug store, pour a little
in your hand and rub well into the
scalp. After a few applications all

THE RED TRIANGLE.
(By Charles L. H. Wagner.)
Friends, have you seen this emblem of red.
Triangular shaped, with its mottQ o'erspread?
The "Spirit," the "Mind," and the "Body" it reads,
A Trinity, one, supreme over creeds,
Do YOU know what It means to the nations of Earth?
Have YOU followed its light, have You rrteasured its worth?
Have YOU pledged it yourself, or eaten Its bread?
If you have, then thank God for this emblem of red.
On the blood fields of France, " on the soli of the Hun,
Its radiant red shines forth as the sun, .
'Midst the terrors of seas, on the fleets of the brave
As a brother of flags It rides o'er the wave,
In the War camps at hornje, prisons, forts on the shore,
Triumphant it gleams o'er a welcoming door;
Wherever there's, need, or sservlce, 'tis said
THERE will you find-this emblem of red.
Friends, give of your mites, to its 'cause give your gold.
And better, give Self, there's a need manifold,
It's a savious of , Men, it's a maker of Men, ,
Then give ALL you can, and then give again.
Remember the boys who are far, far from home,
. 'Tis Father, 'tis Mother to them as they roam,
It brings them YOUR, message, it serves In YOUR stead,
Then give to this glorified emblem of red.
