When Professor Herman Churchill of

in the Adirondack mountains last week.

of the shooting and fishing in store for
him that he did not notice that the
bageageman at the Evanston station
gave him a check for the wrong trunk
That is why Miss Claudine Wilkinson

has the highest respect FOR Professor
Churchill as an authority on the dialect
of Chaucer and the development of
early English syntaX, she is much more
interested at the moment in his ability
TO rectify his mistake. so that she may
start for her vacation in northern Indi-
ana. This fact she has intimated to
proper authorities of the railroad and
the university, and between them the
wires have been kept hot in an effort
TO locate the innocent cause of the
trouble. As to said cause-in other
words, the prOfessor-if he has opened
the trunk he is probably by now very
embarrassed professor. At least Miss
Wilkinson would lead one to think SO
for she blushingly declines to state
what was in the trunk.

NEW SOCIETY TO OFFER

Austrian has no children, but she says
she has seen enough of the misery
of others to help those who have
babies under adverse conditions.
Charles Il. George, founder and vice
president Of the association, says that
there is an alarming increase in race
suicide statistics According to his
figures, marriage in this country
shows the appallingly small birth rate
Of about 26 per cent
The initiation fee to the society is
five dollars, with one dollar per month
dues for the first year. This amount
increases with time, but is never ex-
pected to go beyond three dollars
Then there is an annual assessment
OF two dollars.

persons this year, although their out

Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey on
the lines of the underriver tunnels
which are to be opened this year.
Brooklyn is getting by far the largest
share because transit facilities there
now are fairly good.
In all the new rapid transit suburbs

houses during the first threequarters

for the ashes of the kitten. Mr.. Hoes
has offered the relic to several ply
sicians. He has found that there is no
general demand for the ashes of kit
tens, so he has taken charge of the
urn himself and is using it as paper
weight.

chooses claim the residuary ashes
This. Mr.. Hoes is sure, the president
has no intention of doing. Mr.. Hoes
says he will keep the ashes If he is un
able to persuade anybody to accept
them.
Mr.. Hoes efforts to discover rela.

over a period of several months, but
have been fruitless. At this time there
is little more known about the woman
than was known when she was found
in her apartment after she had tried
to kill herself. She died In the Har

her estate to President Roosevelt,
