president of Bryn Mawr college. spoke
on The University Education of WO-
man I'm the United States" She de
Tended university work for women
from the assertion that it overtaxes
their physical strength and renders
them unfit for matrimony.
Miss Thomas alleged that more men
break down from OveTwOrk in Amer
lean universities than women. Univer-
sity women, she added, do not lose the
inclination to marry, and their fam
lilies are larger than other women. Wo-
men must throw their entire influence
in favor of unrestricted co-education.

MAN FROM AMBUSH
Victim Lived to- Say He Did Not

WaS.

Des Moines, Iowa, June 1S.-Harry
Allen, a 14-year-old farmer boy, who
lived near Kingston, was shot down
and killed by a man in ambush yes
terday. Who the murderer is and
what his motive was are mysteries.
The lad had been plowing and was
walking in the highway toward home
Without uttering a word, the man
arose from the bushes at the road
side and fired a revolver at the sur
prised yOungster. The boy lived long
enough to say he did not know who
fired the shot.
Officers have a theory that the boy
was killed by stranger who was seen
in the neighborhood the day before,
and against whom the lad may have
possessed discriminating information.
