Winter's Coming
Old Man Winter has arrived with
all his cohorts and intends to stay for
some time according to indications
.given out by- the thermometer, cold
ears, and icy sidewalks today.
The observatory reports that the
temperature last night was the cold-
est it has been this winter, reaching
one degree below zero.
With galoshes, ear-laps, and toques,
becoming increasinglyevident on the
campus it seems the student body has
settled down to 'a long siege by. the
forces of snow and cold and hopes to
outlast their vicious attacks by sundry.

(By Associated Press)
New York, Dec. 17.-Astonishment
was expressed by the superstitious
when the earth did not come to an
end today. The ominous position of
the planets had been well press-agent-
ed and some astrologers and persons
versed In witchcraft had maintained
that at the precise moment when the
major leaguers of the Solar System
formed themselves in a straight/line-
with Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars,
Venus and Mercury on one side of the
Sun and Uranus or the other- the
earth, which had moved four or flive
solar paces to the front of the line,
would behave like the deacon's one-
horse shay.:
Judgment Day h Holiday
Scientists had scoffed, but the sup-
erstitious ones recalled having lighted
three cigarets with one match or hav-
ing walked under a ladder, or having
done in recent historic times one or
the thousahd and one other things
known far and wid as omens of evil
days.
Students in Porto Rico are reported
to have been so unfavorably impress-
ed with their chances for eontnuing
life yesterday that they asked for a
holiday to prepare for the worst. Har-
old Jacoby, professor of astronomy
at Columbia, intimated that their ac-
tions might have been due to the de-
sire of youth everywhere to have, a
holiday. He and many other scientists
maintained that the effect on the earth
of the planetary alignment would be
nil..
Very Old Staff
Astrologers have predicted the end
of the world on somewhat similar oc-
casions forcenturies. As early as 1186
A. D., the world escaped one of their
threatened cataclysms. Disappoint-
ment at the escape did not prevent
Stoffler from predicting a universal
deluge for the year 1524-a yearas it
tuined ut, which was distinguished
for; droizlit.~
Mother Sh,,ton, "witch" of Tudor
times, was credited with being equally
sure that 404) years after her time-
in 1881, to be exact-the world would
come to an end. The prediction caus-
ed -much agitatton in England, when
the date arrived Thousands desert-
ed tbeir homes and went out into the
fields to await annihilation.'
Farious religious cults have made
a specialty in mor: ecent years of
9pecifying an hour as the earth's last.
