Since long before the time of Lae- sar songs hhve been sung of arms and the man, but the girl and the gun has not seemed so fitting a combina- tion. Somehow the Amazons have never been very enthusiastically re- celved by the general public, elther in literature or fact. Nevertheless, It is being daily proved that girls can shoot and shoot exceedingly straight. For the last two years rifle shooting has been one of the most popular sports indulged in by the girls of Central High School. The sport was organized and conducted by Miss Hart, faculty director, and Katherine Edmonston, student manager for 1920. Since that time almost three- hurdred girls have made use of the school range, and many of them have attained a high degree of efficlency in_marksmanship. The season. which closed this month, has been a wonderful one for the girle' rifie club. Sophia Wald- man was manager, and proved an ex- ceptionally capable one. In a series of informal matches with rifle teams from Eastern, Western and Business high schools, the Central girls won all the matches. Technical High School dld not have a team prepared to accept the challenge offered by the Central girls, as this is the firs{ year Tech has been in the shooting game. Katharine Edmonston, now a student at George Washington University and herself accredited as the best girl marksman in the city, coached the team for these interscholastic matches. Last fall she was recognized as the District of Columbia champion of the Winchester Junior Rifle Corps. The crowning success of this year for Central's team was the winning of the Astor cup, which is supposed to represent the champlonship of the military academies and high schools of the United States. Girls had never enter#d this match before. Under the wondertul coaching of Walter Stokes, champlon rifle shot of the world, ten Central_girls shot for their school jFive of them made perfect scores. Thoey tigd for first place With three prominent boys' teams, two from military acadgmies arld one from a loeal high school. But, well as the girls did In this first stage of the match, in the shooting oft of the tie they did infinitely better, for they broke the world's record for a high school team of ten members by mak- ing eight “possibles,” and dropping only three points out of 2,000. The Army officers who witnessed this feat could hardly believe that girls could shoot so well, especially under the strain of match-shooting. The ten girls on this team, who won their Cs this year are: Sophla Waldman, manager; Edna Kilpatrick captain; Sallle Burklin, Ruth son, Margaret Unbaugh, Thelma Winkjer, Sylvia Carrigan, Esther Monohan, Helen Stokes and Lois Thompson. The first six on the list graduated this past week, but the |last four are prominent members of next fall's senior class, and are count- ed on to help lead the team to bril- ilant victories next year. Margaret Unbaugh won the trophy for the best marksmanship of the team. For the coming season the team will be under the captaincy of Lols Thompson and the managership of Margaret Somerville. Backs Modern Gitls, But Raps Cosmetics The statements on the “flapper,” as made in thg letter by Katherine J. Poindexter of Central High School 4nd printed on this page last Sunday, have elicited some rather interesting remarks frofh a Washington ° boy, John Taylor, of 1785 F street” Mr. Taylor says: “Your conception of the so-called, is correct. seem to be the most comfortable that can be designed and yet conform to the present standards of convefition. 1 do not personally approve of the use of rouge as a beautifier, as it was invented primarily for theatrical use and does not look well when used even moderately. “I speak for my sex when I say that boys do not caré for girls who use cosmeties over much.

The girls of Western High School have certainly covered themselves with glory In athletic activities dur- ing the past year.

The scores in the sports were 80 close that the senlors and sophomores tied for the silver cup which was offered for the first time Dr. Valeria H. Parker Has Won High Position. Not so long ago medicine was looked upon rather askance as a pro- fession for women.

The field is broadening con- sfantly in variety and scope. To many people a doctor of medi- cine may do one of two things—han- dle a general practice or develop abilitles as a surgeon or specialist on some particular part of the com- plex human anatomy. A concrete example of what a wom- an physician may do in developing new and valuable branches of the medical profession is that of Dr. Valeria Hopkins Parker, executive secretary of the United States Inter- departmental Social Hygiene Board. Dr. Parker grew up in Chicago and attended the Hyde Park High School. She then took an academic course at the College of Oxford, Ohio, fol- DR. VALERIA H. PARKER, lowed by a course in medicine at the Hering Homeopathic Medical College of Chicago, which later became amal- gamated with anotheg college of that clty. During the next three years, Dr. Parker made five trips abroad with patients, and spent two interesting years with patients in Davos, Switzer- land, which she considers by far. the best place for tubercular patients to receive treatment, both from a point of view of climatic conditions and because of the excellently developed sanitary condition of the colony. Following her return to_the United States, she married Mr. Parker and spent -Several years in Greenwich, Conn. In 1915 her little son died. She then went to Hartford, Conn, with her small daughter, to live with her parents and _became executive secre- tary of the Conedticut Social Hygiene Assoclation. This position she held The clothes|until 1920. During the war she was also director of a department of*the Connecticut state council of defense and held the first state police com- mission ever given fo 2 woman, when she &cted as superintendent of seven atate police women. Dr. Parker was the first secretary of the board of directors of the Cohnecticut' state farm for women and was personally largely responsible for the enacting of the law for establishment of that Institution. . In the spring of 1919 she was ab- pointed chairman of the social hy- giene committee of the Naticnal Leaguo of Women Voters, resigting that post to accept her present posi- tion in federal service, July 1, 1921. In 1920, Dr. Parker was in New York, acting as assistant educational ¢ the American Soclal Hy- glene Afociation. She also held the posts of director of the social morality dopartment of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and chairman ‘of the racial health committee, National Congress of Mtohers and Parent- Teacher Assoclations. For some years she was chairman of the Health com- ittée of the National Federation of omen’s Clubs.

Frances Bethel, the senlor tennis representative, won the first and third games, thus placing 1922's name on the cup. She also has the distinction of being the first girl to win as many as six Ws for star work in sports She received a W with a star and bar to indicate the unusual number of sports in which she individually has proved proficient. Other girls to receive several of the much-coveted letters were: Griffith, who won five and also ha the distinction of winning first place in track; Edith Buckler, Wilmoth Doyle and Louise Barnes, each of whom won four. Numerous girls won three Ws, & larger group won two, and it was a great compliment to the abilities of Miss Belle Meyers, hysical cuiture director, to note thé ong list of girls In ali four years who attained sufficient prowess In at least one sport to receive a W at this assembly. The championship cup was present- ed to Helen Newman as the repre- sentative girl of the senjor class. She has the distinction of being vike pres- ident of her class, as well as presi- dent of the Girls' W Club during her final year at the school.* One of the most interesting fea- tures of the program was the award- ing of a special honor to Nancy We son, who is still suffering from a serious complication of broken bones receqved in the terrible Knicker- bocker accident. Previous to her ac- cident Nancy was a brilliant track star and also played on the hockey team. Owing to her absence from school necessitated by her accident, Nancy was unable to graduate with her class this year, but will do so next year. She has demonstrated to an admirable degree the real sporting spirit, which is the “ideal of every ambltious school for its students. s — e e By the Associated Press. BERLIN, June 3.—FErnest Tol- ler, Bavaria's revolutionary poet, who is serving a fortress sentsnce for participation in the Munich bolshevist uprising of 1919, has suddenly become the central figure in a controversy in which the lit- erary aristocracy of Germany is pitted against the Bavariaa law. Toller, who is twenty-nine years ol4d, is one of the most talented of the younger set of German poSt- revolutionary writers. He is the author of several prolstarian plays, written during his incarcer- ation, which have been favorably received in Berlin and elsewhere. He expressed a desire to be per- mitted to witness a rehearsal of his latest play, which will be pro- duced in Reinhardt's theatrical arena this summer. Toller is w'll- ing to submit to any police ragula- tions the Bavarian authcerities might impose in connectica with his trip to Berlin and return for the privilege of witnessing the produaction. His petition found immediate support in the ranks of prominent dramatists, actors and journalists, who addressed a remarkable ap- 1 to the minister of justice in ich Toller is designated s a Bpecial Dispaich to The Star.

Open warfare by open discussion will mean the preventiop of many {needless deaths from cahcer, Mrs. | Joseph Leiter, secretary of the local committee of the Ameriean Soclety for the Control of Cancer, declared in & statement yesterday, In which she gave & brief discussion of the disease to be vigorously attacked this sum- mer and fall throughout the United Btates. During the war, Mrs. Lelter pointed out, the United States Jost about 80,000 goldiers, and during the same period 180,000 persons died of cancer in this country. Cancer is now kill- ing one out of every ten persons over forty years of age, she added ‘Many of these deaths are preven able,” continued the statement, “since cancer is frequently curable, if recog- nized and properly treated in its earl #tages. Cancer begins as a smafi local growth Which ean often be tirely removed by competent surgical trcaiment, or, in_certain _external forms, by using radium, X-ray or other methods.

It is not certain even that a tendency to the disease is inherited. Cancer is so frequent that simply by laws of chance there may be many eases in some familles and this gives rise to much neediess worry about in- heriting the diseas “The beginning of cancer is usually painless. For this reason its in- sldious onset s frequently overlooked and is too easily neglected. When danger signals are observed com- | petent medical advice should be ob- tained at once. ‘Every persisting lump in the breast is a warning sign. All such lumps are by no means cancer, but even innocent tumors of the breast may turn into cancer if neglected. Sore Danger Signal. “Any sore that does not heal, par- tlcularly about the mouth, lips or tongue, is a danger signal.
