Unfortunately they do not realize that they go to col- lege for educational training, and In connection with their responsibilitiss the college authorities are not going to intentionally contribute to their delin- quency. The trouble has developed from an order issued by the faculty putting a stop to junior week and fraternity house parties. Had these been proper- ly conducted there is no reason to sup- nose that they would have been banmned, but when it came to the attention of the faculty, that s were openly drinking from flasks and smoking ~f- garettes on the danca floors it was be- lieved time to act and do it in such a manner as to end such affairs hence- forth, The students regard it as an interfer- ence With their affairs, and so it is in- sofar as they are connected with the in- stitution, and there is no question but what the faculty has done the right thing’ for the good of the college, the good of the students and the good ot those bidden to such parties. .It is an insistence upon discipline which is far within the bounds of reason and it re- flects mo credit upon those who are threatening to strike in order to have the order removd A NEIGHBOR'S EXAMPLE.

Because of the large amount of good which It is believed to have accomplish- ed already by its Investigation, and the aced which has been shown to exist for s continuance, thera will be a feeling that the right thing is belng urged when the finanes committes of the New Tork State senats has agresd to report tavorably upon the resolution exténding ihte Ifie of the Lotkwood committee. Quite as determined efforts have been made to stop the investigation as the committes has made Por the ending of snfust conditions, and while a faverable report - isn't sxmctly the samé as the sassage of the resolution thers are good reasonk for belleving that it will go shrough. Public sentiment is unques- vonably favorably dlsposed to the Work which this committes has done and it realizes that its task has not been rompleted.

Rhode Tsland has its lowlands which serve as Ureeding nlaces for the mosquito and they to be encountered in great number. Cities and towns have recog- nized the value of dratnage and not a little experimentation has been done with the oiling of the surfaces of marshes, catchbasins and ponds whera there ls stagnant water, and seemingly the legislators belleve that the state should have a hand in the good work. This same attitude was taken In this state at the last session of the general assembly bul With the demands fof many other things which appéared to be so much more needed and a desire to keen down expenditures this project was unfavorably reported along with many others. It fs not improbable, however. under more favorable condi- tlons that the good example set by our relghbor to the east will be followed and good résults obtained. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Probably there are those charge it to prohibition. For your spring vacation there isn't anything that will quite ecompare, for the baseball enthusiast, with a trip around the tralning camps. A. J. Balfour shows that there are those Who are willing to render a ser- vice for England without being handed 4 peerage In case of success. Those Who leave money te carry on the fight against cancer may be con- tributing to a long fight but toward a cause which if uccessful will be a great relief .to humanity. The purpose of shipping liquor from Canada to Cuba on such small vessels that they aré obliged to stop at nearly every port in this country for supplies is ®0 apparent that not ®ven ths pro- hibition authorities are being fooled. That play#ul trick of shosting at her brother Ave times and putting him on the hospital dangestous list, may have been, as the Now York girl of 18 claims, for thé purposs of scaring him, but it indicatés a freedom with firearms that Invites qulck death.

Before opening a cocoanut place it in an oven a few minutes. The warmth makes opening comparatively easy. Don't ever pour hot grease down the sink drain, As soon as it strikes the cold pipes it will thicken and stop them up. When string is hung over a nail for future use it often becomes rav- eiled. Rolling it into a ball keeps it in proper and handy shape. ‘Wheh rinsing cut glasses that have had milk in them use cold water. Hot water makes them streaked and hard to wash clear. Use a little salt once a month while brushing the earpets and then go over them with a cloth wrung out of an equal solution of vinegar and water and you will find their color is freshened. If raisins or dates are cooked In Iess sugar will be required. Don’t throw away the worn phono- place of small-headed nails to keep pictures in place in their frames. To wash greasy pans pour a few drops of ammonia into a pan and half £ill the pan With hot water. A bot- tle of ammonia should always be kept on hand near the sink for such uses. Straw matting can be cleaned by using warm water and salt and then rubbing dry with a cloth to prevent it turning yellow. It is said that wrinkled silk may be rendered as beautiful as when new by sponging the surface with a weak solution of gum arabic or white glue, then iron on wrong side. WHEN WASHING DISHES Do not shirk dishwashing on the ground that it will injure your hands. The hottest water and strongest soap will do no harm if the proper prepara- tion and proper after-treatment are| used. Strong laundry soap or powerful soap powders make innumerable lit- tle cracks in sensitive hands. Grease in some form will correct this con- dition, but greasy water is injurious. Keep a large of cold cream near the kitchen sink with a nail brush and some absorbent cotton. Before | starting to wash the dishes rub cold | cream on the hands. Over this, if you like, dust some powdered French chalk, although this is not essential. After “the dishwashing wash the hands carefully with warm water and a mild soap. Brush and clean the nails carefully and wipe. Then rub cold cream over hands and nails, using like soap, wipe off all superfluous cream, to avoid soiling the hands quickly. A gentle friction may be us-| ed with the towel, but this Is not| advisable where there is a tenden-| cy to redness. REHETING Quite the best way to keep a meal | warm for a late comer is to put the| slices of meat, the veghtables and| potatoes in a flat pan and then put the pan in a larger basin of boiling water. Gravy should be warmed sep- arately just before the tray comes to the table. A KNIFE HINT It 1= often difficult even with al sharp knife, to cut raw meat. You! will find that the knife works easier| if heated. Dip the blade in hot wa- ter at intervals. HEALTH AND BEAUTY To shampoo our hair successfully use plenty of soap or shampoo pow- der. Soap the head thoroughly at least twice, rubbing the scalp well with the finger tips. and rinsing well between each lot of soap. Rinse with several lots of very hot water, and finish off with a cold water douche, to pre- vent catching cold. Nail-growth varies somewhat in different individuals and in different nails. It is more rapid in the young| and during the summer. According to| a careful observer, the increased rap- idity of growth in the summer is much more marked in the case of the of the left. Some have a terrible habit of hav-! ing their teeth pulled when the slight- est trouble occurs. Many doctors ar- gue unsuspectzd troubies behind ap- parently healthy teeth cause all sorts of disorders. No amount of work is too great if the tooth can be saved. The ideal method is to take care of the teeth so well that there will be very little trouble. There is a good sound reason why | the nails should be polished frequent- Iy. It no tonly gives them a fashion- able gloss, but makes them stronger and will preserve their youthful looks | all your life. A woman may grow old | in every other way but if she takes| good care of her nalls, they at least will always stay young. CARE OF HANDS The housewife whose hands are in and out of water and the office work- er whose hands become solled with! inks and carbon paper both should| give a little daily attention to these members, which, being useful, may al- so be extremely beautiful. Use good soap and soft, warm wa- ter. Lather the hands thoroughly and use a brush on the nails to remove the dirt that sometimes clings under the tips. Use pumice stone, sither powdered or in 'tablet form, or a little lemon Juice, to remove stains. Rinse the hands and partly dry them on a clean soft towel. Since either pumice or lemon is likely to jave a drying, rough- ening effect, pour a few drops of gly- cerine and rose water lotion on the moist palms, rub in thoroughly but gently. 1 COMFORT IN CORSETS To corset or not to corset her daughter is one of the problems of every mother, regardless of how she has settled the gquestion for herself.! Now that the physiclans, are, as a whole, In favor of corsets since they have been constructed to support and help the figure rather than compress it into fashionable lines, the wise mo- ther selects the girdle corset of to- day, which when worn with the bras- slere to hold the bust firmly, is al- together helpful as well as graceful. These girdle corsets are ideal for the still growing girl with figure still In the process of formation, the gar- ment, without being confining, still lending the needed support to the ab- domen and sufficient gentle constric- tion to the hips to prevent that flab« biness which, once acquired, is %o @if- ficult to eliminate. BUTTONS AS TRIMMING A new idea among the trimmings is the use of pear buttons in much the sAme way as beads were useéd during the past year. They are placed close ‘together in rows when small &t in © groups when large, and this ming lends itself particu- larly well to the cotton frock. Orna- manner of attractive ways, such as bias folds, cordings and ruchings. Cut work and raised embroitlery promise to be popular as well as the old-fashioned cross-stitch which has been noted on many tweed dresses, usually in bright wool colors. DICTATES OF FASHION Low-waisted blouse coats are. tak- ing on new lines with winged cape sleeves. A cape “model introduces a group of inverted tucks from whence the fullness reverts to cartridge pleats. American Broadtail is used just the same as duvetyn inlay trimming on cloth. Grosgrain ribbon bindings appear on the more severely tailored of the navy tricotines. \ Que braids of self materials are re- placing narrow belts on suits which prefer the waistline arrangement. Sleeves which are wrist length and cut in one with the dress are gaining in favor now that bloused and baggy effects are the vogue. Folded bands of colored crepe or of gold or silver cloth are worn in thej hair, the ends disappearing under the gide fullness. Colored combs of the Spanish va- riety and smaller rhinestone combs are worn for evening. For sports skirts the preference -is for woolens which have a fringe in- stead of hem. All white hats, in soft silk becom- ing draped, also black and white silk in combination. 2, ‘Wide metal ribbons are used for bandeaus for evening wear. TheSe al-! most cover the brow in front, taper- ing toward the ears and disappearing into the coiffure. Beaded headdresses encircle the forehead in handeau styvle, cross the top of the head from ear to ear. Pendant earring and sautoirs of pearls and diamonds are for evening. Coq fans having many swirls on a single stick are favorites. TAILORS' BUTTONHOLES The tailors’ buttonhole is made as follows: Cut the slit the length the button requires, with a small eyelet at the outer end. Reinforce the edges of 'the slit with the overcast stitch, using silk twist; then work the edges of the slit with the buttonhole stitch, worked close and even, using silk buttonhole twist. When the eye- let is reached, the stitches are appli- ed so that they radiate. Press the buttonholes under a’ dampened cloth, first basting the edges together. The blind loop is used instead of a buttonhole on sheer blouses and frocks The loop should be placed directly opposite the button. Knot the thread and bring your needle up through the material, take several stitches one over the other to form the bar tack. Working from left to right hold the thread down with the left thumb and insert the needle, eye foremost, under the bar and over the thread. Draw the thread up. letting the purl come to the lower edge of the loop. Repeat the stitches until the bar tack is covered and fasten on the wrong side.—The Designer.

Her de- scription of the man corresponded with that given of the individual who had collected the money in BoiSselier's place. Evidence was also forthcoming that an interview had taken place be- tween the husband .and Montely on the 21st. When the investigation was in prog- ress the hotel proprietor related of a singular discovery he had just made of evidence of a tragedy in his hotel. A traveler calling himself Morel, he said, arriving at his house and had a large trunk taken to his room. He had afterward had the trunk taken to the Messageries, whence it was to be forwarded to Toulouse. The proprie- tor described the man Morel and the description exactly fitted that of Mon- tely. The procurer went at once to the hotel and secured full evidence of the crime. At once he dispatched the police to St. Germaine en Laye with a war- rant for Montely's arrest, which was served at his house on the morning of Nov, 2. He had removed his mus- tache the evening before. On his per- don was found a bank note for 1000 francs and 2000 francs in gold. He was taken to prison ai Orleans. Not- withstanding the proofs against him he denied his guilt and affirmed that he was not at Orleans on the morn- Ing of the 21st.

It was ascer- tained that after taking the room in the hotel he sent a message to Bois- selier expressing a wish to see him. They had been seen together at a cafe and the murdered man was not after ward seen alive. Notwithstanding all these over- whelming proofs, Montely persisted in denying everything. On the 26th of February 1843, he appeared before the Court of Assizes of Loiret, charged with murder. An immense crowd was attracted to the trial as everyone wish- ed to see the wretch who had mur- dered his friend in cold blood. In the course of the trial Montely declared that he would confess the whole truth. This is part of the con- fession: “I had loanad 300 francs to Boisseller, wh begged me to say noth- ing to his wife.

A cheap quilt for a nursery or maid's bed may be contrived if two or three layers of blankets are stitched toketh- er and covered with gay cretonne or chintz in imitation of an eiderdown. The cover should be stitched down after the sanfe manner as a down quilt, and then the whole can be wash- ed together, A pair of old blankets which have lost their wolliness, and so are prac- tically smooth, are very useful to keep in an odd drawer for an emergency. A doctor frequently orders a rheu- matic subject to sleep between blan- kets during a severe attack, and the woolliness of new blankets is apt to prove irritating to a sensitive skin. DAINTY UNDERWARE Fine voiles with white ground. and satin stripes in color are used for lovely two and three-piece sets. One of the popular trimmings is binding all the edges with plain color seif- fabric. Sheer cotton crepes are more extensively used for spring and sum- mer undergarments than ever before sometimes trimmed in piping or bind- ings of fabric in contrasting color, sometimes with sampler stitch em- broidered or brier ‘stitching. The dainty woman will choose white or flesh colored undergarments in preference to the more vivid orchid, maize or blue shades that are offered for the sake of variety. EFFECTIVE COLORS Green will be exceedingly popular for the coming season and there are a number f vivid reds being disting- guished by the names of poinsetta and poppy. The henna shades continue to be favorites. n . SLEEVES The sleeve situation is more than diverting. Some of the new frocks have sleéves which sheAthe the arm from shoulder to waist and others swing clear of the arm, being attach- ed to an unbelievedly large armhole.

The large capital letter, habitually made with a flourish, is a betraval of egotism, conceit, affectation, pride and love of display. To get at the real im- portance of such a writer in the gen- era] scheme of the world you have only to take his own opinion of himself and reverse it, and you'll come pretty close to the real state of affairs. Still, you must be cautious In judging the -over-large, and even the ornam:, capital.

This mountain and a companion peak, Illiamna, are conspicuous land- marks for ships which steam up Cook Inlet. They are almost perfect cones and with their snow-covered caps serve very well as American versiont of the famous Fujivama of Japan. Re- doubt forms, so far as is now known, the landward end of the long chain of volcanoes which stretch to the southwestward along the Aleutan Ie- lands for more than 1200 miles, and which have been spouting fire at In- tervals for hundred$ of thousands of years. “Although Redoubt, passive for near- ly 20 years, is showing only clouds of those who have observed the volcanoes of the Alaskan chain are not reassured, for these volcanoes have have a disconcerting way of ‘blowing their heads off’ with little warning. Katmai, 200 miles to the south, which is one of the chain that had long been dormant, exploded suddenly in 1921, constituting one of the dozen greatest eruptions of historic times. A sclen- tific_expedition sent to the crater by the National Geographic Society found that two cubic miles of materjal had been blown from this previously pas- sive mountain. It was while making a study of Katmal that The Soclety’s expedition found that unique ‘natural phenomenon, ‘The Valley of Ten Thou- sand Smokes.’ Augustine Mountafn, in Cook Inlet less than 100 miles from Redoubt, and long noted for its per- fect cone, blew its top off suddenly in 1883 leaving only & agged stump. The whole Alaskan volcanic chain Is & unit of volcanic action, and it is always problematical where the next outburst will occur. “To scientists one of the significant features in connection with the exist- ence of the extensive volcanic region in Alaska is the fact that it fs situa- ed where in the future at least it will be easily accessible for study. And there is much room for the study of volcanoes. Although volcanism was probably one of the first of Nature's spectacular phenomena to thrill man it presents one of the few obvieus problems about which science has o satisfactqey hypothesis. Just whers the heat comes from which melts the tone, why it fs concentrated within defenite areas, from what depths the molten material rises and why it rises —these are some’'of the problems about | which there hax been much specula- tion but In regard to which few satis- factory theories exist. “Tell-tale fossils and types of roek show that the mountains of the Adgs- kan peninsula and the Aleutian Is- lands are older than either the Hima- Jayas or the Alps, systems which are prectically without volcanoes. It does not follow, that volcanic activity me- companies age. for the Appalachians among the oldest mountains of the earth, have no volcanoes.” Every man is more or less 4 goasip but he refuses to admit it To Gain Weight Lee & Osgood Co. gnarantees Bitro.
