II believe in college education for
girls" said Admiral Erbin, at dinner at
jamestown, but the girl who comes out OF
college thinking that she knows a great
deal has not proflted by her four years
course. For, after all, 1t is but a snatter-
ing that a college education gives us.
Most girls know this. Many do not.
The latter sort carry themselves supercil-
iously. use big words, correct ignorant per-
sons grammar and fail TO make a good
marriage. In fact. they create bad i'm
preston everywhere.
Thus there was a girl, a Vassar GIRL
who got caught by the incoming tide out
on rock. The tide rose higher and higher
and the girl shrieked and screamed madly
for help.
Help came at last in the shape Of a
grizzled old shellback in a flat-bottomed
boat. The girl. as soon as she saw the
shellback, recovered her poise and said
in her most affected manner:
"'Ah. I knew some succor would come
if but continued calling indefatigably.'
The shellback scowled.
"'Wall, miss he said, If that's how ye
express yer gratitood, the suckerll be
burned if he don't row back without ye.

500 TOURISTS A
DAY IS RECORD
ARRIVALS EXCEED PREVIOUS
YEARS
September Total Is 16,47o-Hotel Men
Prepared for Unusual Rush-coI-/
onist Rates to Continue
for Months

According to railway officials and hotel
managers the influx of colonistS and tour
lists into Los Angeles is increasing. The
average number of arrivals is 500 a day.
Compared with previous years the open
ing of the present winter season is a
record breaker. Statistics of the various
railways show that there are twenty
seven more tourists arriving every day in
the month than came last fall.
During September a summary of daily
arrivals in this city and vicinity reached
a total of 16,47O A greater number is ex-
pected for the present month. Trainloads
of colonists have been pouring into Los
Angeles for the last ten days until the
railroads have been compelled to divide
their overland passenger trains into two
and sometimes three sections.
The colonist rates, of which the thou
sands are taking advantage, will continue
throughout October and possibly through
the earlier portion of November.
All the hotel managers of the city are
confident that the season will prove a
success, and have expressed themselves
as satisfied with the turn conditions have
taken SO far. Scores of fasteners have
secured apartments at the different hos
telries with a view of retaining them
indefinitely. Some have planned to spend
the entire season here, and the others
will be here at least for several months.
All the hotels, particularly the Lanker-
SHIN and the Van Nuys, have made elab-
crate preparations for the accommodation
of the tourists. The Van Nuys has en-
larged its lobby and installed new office
fixtures. The Lankershim has remodeled
about fifty of its rooms.
Before December $4,000 people will have
come, it is expected. The number may
reach 100000.
