Mrs. Tilton described the incident as occurring at about 5:15 a.m.
“I was sitting in my room reading the Daily Trojan when I thought I heard someone on the steps. I looked out of my room and noticed A young man standing there. I immediately screamed for the girls, and then ran back into my room.’

Trojan Professor Predicts Doubling Of Present Volume
“That the present conflict in Europe is causing a definite shift in trade with South American countries and offers the United States a chance to double its present volume,” is the opinion of Dr. Clayton D. Carus, professor of foreign trade at SC.
“Trading countries must seek sales to pay for purchases in an approximate balance of commerce and the United States now has possibilities of doubling its markets in certain areas of South America,” said Dr. Carus when interviewed.
Dr. Carus believes that another factor greatly enhancing the United States’ chances of stimulating foreign trade with South America is the possibility of the cash-and-carry plan now before congress being passed.
The SC authority explained. “The Argentine's total trade with us is only one-seventh of her total; our imports in cattle hides for shoes is valued at about $5,000,000 yearly. As we manufacture about one-half of the world’s leather, the demand of soldiers in Europe for shoes Ls an example of the possible increase in hide purchases from the Argentine. Should we double our purchases in this industry we can sell them another $10,000,000 of cotton textiles and typewriters.”
