Scholarship Mark Co-eds at Northwestern university are smarter than the men, figures released by Miss Katharine George, registrar, for the first semester 1928-29, show, and they are getting smarter while the schola'3tic record of the men shows a little decrease over last year. And fraternity members are better students than those who do not wear the badges of the Greek societies. Although 2328 students are enrolled in the college of liberal art3, their scholastic average is unusually high, Miss .George's report shows. This group, comp~sing both men and women, made and academic record for the first semester of 1.0560 which was higher than la'.st year. Northwestern women's scholastic average was 1.1728 which was also an increase, but the men of the campus let their scholarship slip from .9214 to .9092. Fraternity men and women totaled 1.2404 while the non-fraternity gro~tps average was .~. Seni01"3 made better scholarship records than did any of the other classes, and the freshman class made the poorest record of any. Add . More Trains to ·N ortli · Shore Line for Summer Ten new trains are added to the service of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad under the new operating schedule, which went into effect with the return to Daylight Sav ing time last Sunday, it was announced by Roy Thompson, traffic manager All service is operated on standard time, which means that one hour should be added to the train times to make the schedule conform to Day light Saving time. "The additional North Shore Line service includes three Chicago-Wau kegan expresses, two Waukegan-Chi cago locals, one Waukegan-Chicago limited, one North Chicago Junction Chicago express, one Waukegan-Chi cago express and two. limiteds operat ing between Chicago and Milwaukee on Saturdays only," said Mr. Thomp son. "Several other improvements in service have been made for the con venience of North Shore line cus tomers. To accommodate northbound travelers arriving in Chicago on the Twentieth Century Limited from the east, the Chicago-Milwaukee limited leaving Adams and \Vabash at 9 a. m., will circle the Loop, receiving pas.s engers direct from the La Salle Street depot at the La Salle-Van Buren "L" station at 8 :57 a. m. . This train will carry a parlor car daily, as will also the limited leaving Milwaukee terminal at 9 a. m., which makes direct connections with the Century leaving for the east on daylight saving time. "For the convenience of · golfers traveling from the Chicago Loop to courses in the Skokie Valley, a dining car will be added on Saturdays to the Chicago-Mundelein express leaving Adams and Wabash at 12:08 o'clock noon. This is the first time that diners have been operated in regular service between Chicago and Mundelein." Of the seven new trains added to the service between Chicago and Wauk~an, five will operate over the Shore Line route and two over the Skokie Valley route, it was pointed out by Mr. Thompson. Half-hourly service between downtown Waukegan and the Chicago Loop is furnished from . 3:25 a. m., to midnight under the new schedule. The three Chicago-Waukegan expresses will leave the main outbound Chicago Loop station, 223 S. Wabash avenue, at 3 :58 a. m., 4 :33 a. m., and 6 :13 a. m., the first two operating daily over the Shore Line route and the last one daily except Sunday over the Skokie Valley route. The WaukeganChicago locals will leave downtown Waukegan at 3 :25 a. m., and 3 :55 a. m., daily, operating over the Shore Line route.

The two additional limiteds operating between Chicago and Milwaukee will leave the Chicago Loop and downtown Milwaukee at 10:45 a. m., on Saturdays, both operating over the Skokie Valley route.

A like situation prevails in several other midwestern states and along the Pacific coast. A · severe outbreak prevails in the Orient. This announcement was made this week by Dr. Andy Hall, Illinois state health director, who described the situation as not alarming but of a nature that requires alertness on the part of the medical profession, health officers and the public. Prompt reporting of every case and rigid quarantine of patients are cardinal points in control measures. "More than 225 cases have been reported so far this year in Illinois, an increase of 35 percent over the corresponding period in 1928," said Dr. Hall. "Considerably greater numbers have been reported in both Michigan and Missouri. Nearly fifty patients have been discovered during the last few months among crews and passengers aboard vessels putting into California ports from China and the Philippine CARD Ol"" THANKS Islands while some 300 cases have deMr. James Allison and family wish to veloped in California.
