COLLEGE GIRLS or THE PERIOD.

One type of new womanhood was subject
complimentary sense Of phrase they may be
inclined to resent, its representatives quilted
themselves like men" When Denbigh Hall. one
of the dormitories of Bryn Mawr College, took
fire the young women who lived in the building
exhibited neither the hysterical weakness that
was once thought the characteristic of their sex
in such contingencies nor the lack of practical
sense which is sometimes thought to distinguish
the student Instead of screaming and fainting
they promptly took their places in the fire br-
gade. which is one of the regular organizations
of the college, and proceeded to fight the flames
with such coolness and courage that the fire was
extinguished with loss OF life and no excessive
damage all things considerable property It
is a noteworthy fact. also. that while many of
the students lost their wardrobes, fifteen cand-
dates for the degree of PHI. y. succeeded in saw
ing their theses.
This story of feminine intropdty is in no way
impaired by the fact that the boys of Haycrford
College aided in putting out the fire. Though
the modern girl is sef-reliant there are times
when a man may be useful, and Haverford gal
lantry does not dim Bryn Mawr bravery The
damage TO the college building is covered by
insurance but il is feared that the fire may
make it more difficult for the institution to raise
the $4,000 which is still needed to make avail
able Mr.. Rockefellers offer of $250O00. There
should he such difficulty; a college that rears
young women of such pluck deserves well of the
philanthropists.

government entirely distinct from that main

Of all persons who have given careful study 10

islands have long been a political entity and
their inhabitants would not find il pleasant TO
be made mere appendage 10 Porto Rico and
ruled by n Spanish speaking legislature in
which their influence would be insignificant
Nor would there be- anything substantial
gained by consolidation. Possibly one or two
salaries of higher officials might be saved. but
at a considerable sacrifice in efficiency. Gov
ernor Hunt of Porto Rico is already sufficiently
occupied without burdening him with problems
Of a totally different character from those con
fronting him within his own proper sphere of

thority as a military governor his strength
might be equal TO the independent tasks. hut
he is only the head of the autonomous govern

SPEED AND STOPPING

The question Of the regulation of speed of au-

speed that is permitted to horses. namely
twelve miles an hour Motormen declare that
this rule spoils their pleasure and initiates

manufacturers ruefully assert that 1T is bad for

cles should be permitted to 90 much faster than
horses. because, so they say, they can he
stopped so much moro quickly. The statement
is made that motor car going at the rate of
seventeen miles an hour can be stopped within
twice its length.
1t may be that a car can he stopped so quick

pants could, and we are not sure that a well

through space al fat trajectory, at the rate Of
seventeen miles an hour would not prove about
as formidable a projectile the motor car It

ARE4D OF TIE ScREDrLE.

In a recent after dinner address Mayor Low
spoke of the vaStness of the rapid transit
work. His hearers were profoundly impressed
when he told them that from the excavations
already made the earth and rock dug our, if
piled up in the form of a cone, would cover
every inch of City Hall Park, including the
entire sites of all the buildings. and would
tower to a height in the air equal 10 the top Of
the tallest building near at hand II should not
he forgotten, TOO. that there are several cloud
kissing structures near City Hall Park.
The colossal task of preparation for the new
system of local railways has been pushed on
ward with swiftness and an energy which
provoke the admiration of every intelligent sru-
dent of the difficulties which have been on
countered. The progress already made, the
Mayor tells us gives assurance that this gi-
Eantc enterprise is kept ahead Of the schedule
mapped out in advance. and that rapid transit
underground will surely arrive on time. The
trains will start even earlier than the ap-
pointed date. and then New York will he far
