Mrs. Hale and the burglar. The woman
says the man did not wear a mask and
90 far as she could notice did not have a
revolver. The intruder evidently gained
entrance with a skeleton key, as, when he
escaped the side door to the sitting room
was open. The door was locked as usual
Sunday evening.
Man Strikes Her with Fist
Mrs. Hale was struck by the mans fist
on the temple, shoulder and breast. The
blow on the temple left a dent that was
plainly visible Monday noon. The woman
Is being kept as quiet as possible.
Owing to the dim light In the house at
the time of the entrance and assault, Mrs.
Hale told the police she was unable to
give more than a vague description OF
the man. To the best Of her belief he was
six feet tall, wore good clothes and was
heavy built. BY the time she became fully
awake the mans back was turned.
Between two and three weeks ago, at II
o clock at night, the police station received
telephone call from the same address
saying a stranger was trying the doors
and windows and appeared to be acting in
a suspicious manner. Emergency officer
Baldwin was then detailed on a bicycle
but before he arrived the stranger had
fed. Al that time Mrs. Hale fired one
shot to scare the intruder.

this letter, the transfer Of Maxwell of The
Standard" from Shoe Lano to the busting
Daily Mail" Office and the noise made over II,
shows how intense is the rivalry between the
Harmsworth and Pearson interests. There
are unmistakable evidences that more than
one newspaper property has declined in value
and that increased circulation has not followed
either reduction of price the introduction Of
popular features. There is no constituency
so conservative in its habits as the readers OF
an English newspaper They dislike changes
Of method and prefer to have everything go on
in the old ways, to which they have become
accustomed: and for this reason 1t is perhaps
easier and more economical to command success
for new enterprise than to rework and make
over an English newspaper of established repu-
tation. This is at least Sir Alfred Harmsworths
opinion, and he is the most energetic and sue
cessful of the newspaper owners who are revo-
lutiontzing the English press. N. B.

ETHICS OF THE BULLDOG.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is II possible that at last the head OF col
lege has taken steps to diminish in some shght de-
gree the rowdiness of the cigarette smoking yelling
youths who attend our academic lnsVtulonsE
1t is certain that Chancellor Day OF Syracuse mas
taken a step in the right direction, as told IN The
Tribune, when he forbade the students at syracuse
to prowl any longer about the streets followed by
a lurching, ugly bulldog. In these days OF iallen
ideals when the militant spirit OF the DARK Ages
seems to be becoming rampant again, 1t Is ehcour-
aging to know that at least educator has cared
to discourage the possession Of such type OF
brute force and pugnacity as the bulldog.
1t is true that the bulldog represents an aIto-
gether too common ideal of decadent college
youth the ideal of superiority in the brutal con-
tests of the football field and the prize ring. true
he is the finest representative Of this deal-stupid
ferocious ugly and possessing only the virtue OF
courage common to the lowest Of creatures SO
surely as our youth devote their time to the socl-
ETY. Of bulldogs, so surely will they seek the en-
vironment natural to the owners Of such beasts
the society found in barrooms with their general
odor of sawdust stale beer cigarettes and all such
depravity Syracuse Is to be tulated in hay
ing a chancellor who has courage enough to take
such step to protect those precious minds and
souls intrusted to his care. WOMAN

Sir: read with pain the recent order Of Chan

on the argument that bulldogs not in line

oclasm. Bulldogs academic tradition, and
traditions should be sacred, most of ALL in uni
versities That point, however may be passed
over Dr. Day states IN cathedra manner
that bulldogs do not comport with the undergradu-
ate ideal. This fallacy should be challenged by
every lover of dogs and ideals. The merit Of a
bulldog does not lie in his face. his grace his mere
aesthetic appeal. His face is a horror. his grace
and his aesthetic appeal is about marked as
Calibans. Indeed, it is frequently said that the
ugIier bulldog is the more beautiful. bulldog,
