Spicy ws N From Other Universities A long, cold winter is prophesied by Prof. H. R. Hill of the University of Iowa. The appearance of the gos- hawk and pigeon hawk so early in the season is the basis of his prophesy. Prof. Hill explains that the gos- hawk is a bird of the extreme north- ern regions and its migration is gov- erned by the food supply there. Its appearance in this part of the coun- try seems to indicate a cold winter of long duration.

This was the gist of the last of a series of lec- tures given by Harold Titus, '11, yes- terday morning for the students of rhetoric who are interested in maga- zine work. Mr. Titus discussed the pitfalls be- fore young writers and he ranked as very dangerous the tendency to com- mercialize. "Do not think first of your market," said Mr. Titus, "Write your story and then try to sell ilt." Warning was given to people to keep out of short story writing if they are lazy, for according to Mr. Titus there is no possible occupation that will so quickly take the vitality and strength as creative work.

S. marines bombarded an enemy city yesterday and the only buildings left standing af- ter the terrific fire were churches and hospitals. It was only a miniature city, to be sure, and the buildings were not more than a foot high. Cities in miniature are used as objectives by marine corps artillerymen in training here, and the little buildings in them are plainly labeled "gun factory4" "barracks," "church," "hospital," etc. The marine gunners are careful in training to avoid hitting buildings marked "church" or "hospital," and in prac- tice they show wonderful marksman- ship in razing buildings adjacent.
