84 STEAMER IN GRIP O LAKECE o ,Passgnger‘ Ship, Bearing Christmas Shoppers, Held - Fast Near Sandusky, Ohio. By the Associated Press. SANDUSKY, Ohio, December 20.— Crews of two vessels today fought to free the passenger ship Tourist from the grip of a Lake Erie ice jam while her 30 passengers, safe ashore after a ‘perilous tramp across crackling ice, ‘wondered whether they would be able to spend Christmas at their Kelleys Island omes. ‘The Tourist, which had brought 30 Christmas shoppers here, set out for Kelleys Island yesterday afternoon, but she had no more than made the turn into the lake channel when an ice floe, driven by s sudden northeast storm, shoved her into the shallow water of || Sandusky Bay. The Tourist struck bot- tom and ice piled up to her decks. Jam Prevents Rescue. The steamer Messenger, aided by the tug Gillan, was unable to approach closer than a quarter of a mile of the stranded Tourist. As the ice continued to pile up, Capt. John Gilbert ordered the Tourist passengers over the side. Lugging their Christmas purchases, Geneva University Grants Divinity Degree to Woman First for School Founded by John Calvin, Anti- Feminist. GENEVA (Special).—For the first time In the institution of learning that John Calvin founded his successors have advanced a woman on her way to the ministry of his church. The Uni- versity of Geneva has just nted the degree of “bachelor” of theology to Mile. Bard, daughter of a prominent Genevese family. Although Calvin's anti - feministic tendencies have been considerably mod- ified by his Established Church of the Republic of Geneva, there was a first considerable opposition to Mile. Bard’s ambitions. The influence of powerful relatives was necessary to secure her matriculation at the seminary, and the full exertion of -her admittedly high abilities was required to keep her there. Oddly enough, it has lately been the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, LANSBU faculty of theol that represented the university's llbe;hl'il side; something of a sister faculties. However, leadership of its dean, the Rev. Dr. Eugene Choisy, a well known scholar and a close friend of the late Dr. Charles Henry Brent, Protestant Epis- copal Bishop of the Diocese of Western New York. this faculty lately won a species of autonomy. Thereafter several woman students were admitted, and Mlle. Bard’s way was easier. She, nev- ertheless. had to pass, and did pass, brilliantly, an especially severe exami- naticn set the class of 34 students. Calvin's predestinarianism is rarely stressed by Geneva's theologians, and his doctrines of “the utter depravity of human nature” and of the civil arm as “the preserver of church purity” are not insisted upon. On the other hand, Mile. Bard’s thesis for the baccalaureate is. believed to have stood the test of the reformer’s idea of “knowledge and per- formance of Ged's will* as “the chief duty and purpose of man.” Ancient Vessel Unearthed. MORNINGTON, County Louth, Ire- land (#).—Preserved in sand for nearly 1,500 years, the oaken vessel in which St. Patrick sailed to Ireland in 432 A. D. is believed to have been found at Colp Harbor at the mouth of the Boyne. Archeoligists are studying the relic. ee Etz and See Better' SUGGESTING 2 EYEGLASSES| b they made their way across thin ice | jif to the Messenger, which brought them to port.

Unless the channel is blown clear of the Winter freeze, the passengers have just two ways to get back to Kelleys Island for Christmas.

The problem of surface transporta- tion may be solved by the stream-line trains suspended from an overhead rail track and driven by airplane propellers if the new system evolved by George Bennie of Edinburgh is found prac- ticable. A trial is to be made in Scot- land when wfl;fi full sized model has been completed. It is saild that speeds up to 100 miles an hour will be possible. At high speeds the stream-line cars will rise slightly, taking their weight from overhead ralls. A great consideration in favor of this kind of road construction is“that I it costs about one-third that of the track laid on the surface.
