caught 40 fine ones but only claims Z :

not reverse those figures at this dis
lance is absolutely honest
This is a great town for con-
traries. The training school girls
were bashful and didn't want great
crowd Of visitors the first few days.
So they hal the papers cordially in-'
yite everybody TO come and the ~
suit was that practically no visitors
have been present. There is a right
way and a wrong way to handle peo-
pie. A request not to come would
probably have raised row.
