ROBINS AT UNIVERSITY
A series of the most wonderful
meetings ever held in a body of stu-
dents in the state of Oklahoma is go-
ing on this week at the State Univer-
sity. Raymond Robins, former gold
digger, politician, social worker in the
slums of Chicago, business man and
scientist, is spending a week among
the men of the Univerity preaching a|
more pure social life, a saner andi
more practical religion.
Robins is probably the best known
social reformer in the United States.

Berlin, Jan. 10.—Reports that spies,
hired by Germany's enemies, have
beer purchasing large quantities of
foodstuffs in Germany and destroying
them as part of the plan to "starve
Germany out" gained wide circulation
here today.
The authorities took prompt action.
The magistrate at Wilmersdorf, with
jurisdiction over a part of the munici-
pality of Berlin, announced drastic
regulations of the food supply within
his district in the future. To each
family he will issue a card, entitling
the holder to purchase food for his
family. The card must be presented
at grocery stores, bake shops and shop
keepers who sell food without being
fijst shown the food card will be fined.
The magistrate gave no reason for
his action but it was understood or-
ders issued by the authorities prompt-
ed it.
It is reported that similar steps will
be taken by other magistrates.
