P. Ramaswami Iyer, Dewan of Travancore, declared in a speech at Trivandrum. Very few of the .princes and maharajahs of India seem to real- ize that within the next few months the question that would be put to theim and will have to be answered by them at the bar of history is Oratorio To Be Given Twice Because of heavy student enroll- ment, the University Musical Socie- ty's annual presentation of Handel's "Messiah" will be given twice this year, at 8:30 p.m. Dec. 14, and at 3 p.m. Dec. 15.

Two hundred Afridi leaders told Viceroy Sir Archibald Wavell, dur- ing his tour of the northwest fron- tier, that in the event of a British withdrawal from India, they would request that the Khyber Pass be re- turned to them, the original owners. A spokesman for the leaders said the Afridi might then elect to remain aloof or link themselves with Afghanistan, and added that in view of the communal disturb- ances in India they had no desire to negotiate with the interim gov- ernment until Hindu-Muslim dif- ferences had been settled. The Viceroy asked the leaders to remember "that your interests are bound up with India as a whole and not with any political party." * * * Three great irrigation works, which will ultimately raise India's food pro- duction by about 2,000,000 tons a year, are to be built on the Mahana- di, Damodar and Kosi rivers.

"I thing it is equally foolish to claim that women who attend women's colleges lead an abnormal, segregated existence. They are no more immured within the walls of their campuses than the men are in such colleges as Princeton and Yale. I personally am glad that the women of the American common- wealth have the same privilege as the men of choosing whether they will go to a coeducational college or to one for their own sex exclusively. "There are advantages and disad- vantages in both systems, but both are making a sincere effort to edu- cate the young people who enroll with them, and in their graduates can demonstrate their success.
