VALPARAISO
The Glass Rush.

Members of the aw class of the Uni
versity, which took part in the notori-
Jus class rush of last Thursday even
ing. are very wroth as the result of
stories of the affair, which have ap-
peared in various newspapers alleging
that these articles were untrue and
put the class in a bad light before the
people.
Comparison of the article particular
ly complained of with the facts in the
case after further investigation fail,
however. to reveal any serious discrep-
encies. 1t seems to be true that the
name of the person most seriously in
jured was incorrectly reported, it also
appears that he is not a scientific"
as at first reported, but a law student.
Nevertheless the fact remains hat he
failed to regain consciousness for a
long time after the injury. The num-
Der of physicians reported as attend
ing him may not have been given with
absolute accuracy, still the fact re-
mains that an ambulance was called,
whether it was used or not, and, but
for prompt and stringent measures, the
young man might not have escaped
with his life.
Other participants in the affair, while
disclaiming in LOUD tones the serious
ness of the rush, nevertheless bear
such injuries as badly damaged eyes,
sprained backs and the like, which,
while not preventing absolutely their
attendance at classes, nevertheless
have seriously incapacitated them, ac-
cording to their own statements, from
any great physical activity.
The classroom in the law building
gave evidence of the trivial" charac-
ter Of the affair, with doors broken
from their hinges, chairs and other
furniture ~dismantled, and the gener-
al appearance of a cattle shed, from
which recently been driven a drove
Of Texas steers.
In justice" to the participants. how
ever, we print at their reuest a state
ment of the affair, prepared by them,
with the sincere hope that young men
of sufficient ambition and mental at
tainments who desire a college educa-
ton may not in the future forget
their gentlemanly conduct and the de-
sire to preserve the good name of a
well-known institution Of learning as
to make such a statement necessary
by such deplorable conduct

SUIT FOR A REPLEVIN
Jacob Ladivoch Brings Ac-
ton in Judge Towns
ley's Court.

Replevin proceedings were instituted
yesterday afternoon in Justice H. A.
Townships court, in Gary, by Jacob
Ladovich, a saloonkeeper, for a harness
which he had loaned to Joseph Mueller
and of whom he says that he sold it.
Mueller is a baker. whose place of
business is at Fifteenth avenue and
Jefferson street, whom Ladovich had
befriended when he was i%nfinancial
straits. Among the other good samari-
tan acts which he claims he performed
in behalf of Mueller was that of sup
plying him with a harness. and he
thinks that It comes with bad grace
that Mueller should sell it. However,
Mueller believes he acted in the right
and will let the court decide on the
merits of the case.

KILL THE FLY.
Prevent Disease by Adopting sani-
-

Prevent Disease by Adopting Sani-
tary Conditions at Once.
Every housekeeper should join the
crusade to eliminate the domestic
fly and every endeavor should be
made to stamp out the evil at once
and thus prevent disease.
Since flies are bred in garbage, de-
caying matter, etc, it is recommend,
ed that stringent regulations be
adopted requiring the prompt remov,
al or treatment of such refuse.
All stable manure, garbage and de,
caying matter should be removed
every four TO seven days.
How to Get 'Em.
Rules for Preventing the Breeding
of Flies-Do not allow decaying ma.
terial of any sort to accumulate on
or near your premises. All refuse
which tends in any way to fermen.

per waste and vegetable matter,
should be disposed of or covered
with lime or kerosene oil.
Keep jail receptacles for garbage

eases Carried by Flies-Screen all
food for sale or use. Screen all
kitchen and dining room doors and
windows. If there is no dirt and
filth, there will be sno flies.

WORKING GIRLS AS WIVES.

College education seems to insure
reduction of progeny among college
bred fathers and mothers. Not two
thirds of the men graduates have
children. Not so per cent of the girl
graduates ever wed. Those who be-
come wives seldom or never bring
large families of children into the
world.
In this dilemma President Mary E.
Woodley, head of Mt Holyoke Col
lege, a Massachusetts institution, ac-
knowledged to be one of the leading
girls colleges of the English-speak-
ing world, comes to the rescue with
the admission that working girls make
better wives than college graduates
Or girls reared in idleness.
The working girl appreciates the
difference between housework at her
own convenience and toll for a fixed
number of hours at six days a week
in store, Office or factory under orders
from someone else. The college grad
uate or the girl reared in idleness
condemns her husband to life in
apartment hotels and boarding houses
because she thinks housework a bur
den.
The working girl wife is seldom seen
in the Divorce Court. She does not
taunt her husband with his made
quate income or moan because she
has fewer dresses than her father
used to provide. She leaves recrim-
ination and divorce to wives who
read novels and primped while their
mothers did the housework.
The business girl makes house
keeping business and her home is
success. She is helpmate and not
a drawback, and the man who weds
her may well consider himself in luck.
Such is Miss Wooleys high opinion
of the large class of young women to
whom We must look for the mothers
of the next observation-disclosures

Things to Remember.

For baking avoid rancid butter and
shiny looking eggs-the latter are old
When sour milk is called for in a
recipe, it must be used with soda;
sweet milk calls for baking powder;
buscuits are best when made with
buttermilk and soda.
Lumpy sugar with clear Jumps in ii
should be sifted. The Jumps may be
added to cooked fruits.
One cup of flour means a level cup
ful of unsifted -four
Beat cake to stir air into it, from
the bottom up. 1t creates air cells
which makes the cake lighter.
The finest grained cakes are beaten
with a wooden spoon or by hand. 1t
feels to the bare hand as if hairs were
in the dough. This insures fine
grained cake.
Creased heavy paper can be placed
around the rim of cake pan, if there
is possibility of the cake falling over
the sides of the pan.
A cake that rises and bursts
through the top is baking too rapidly
1t will be coarse. 1t also indicates
too much -four.

F. e. L.: Consult your family ply
sician.
The Best Wife

The working girl has learned to
live on salary-she has learned to
make ends meet with that salary:
she has discovered the art of being
neat, the art of keeping her belt to-
gether, her hair smooth, her face and
hands clean; she has learned that.
Il she intends to make anything of
herself she must be pleasant and con-
siderate and alert.
She, above everything else, has
been taught to hide her emotions
she doesn't weep and wall and pout
She isn't grumpy and liable to tant-
runs and fits of melancholy.
Maybe the girls at home-the col
lege-bred girls, have these estimable
traits, too; maybe they have also
learned to master themselves.
Yet, no matter what can be said in
their favor-no matter how many ex-
cellent attributes they have, there is
no girl living who, from a practical
an economical, a worldly viewpoint,
makes such a splendid wife as the
business girl.
And three cheers for her!

A Womsn's Hint.

II you wish to write or sew and
have no convenient table in your tiny
hall bedroom, have a board of con-
venient size, pull out dresser drawer
place the board ON top, and you have
a table without having to remove
everything from the dresser. A heavy
board would be necessary and a leaf
from an extension table would be
just the proper thing and it could be
hidden in the closet when not in use
The girl who lives a hall bedroom
existence can think of more plans to
actually live in little room than a
man could plan on a ten-acre field
with a palatial residence.

Good Recipes.

Toasted pudding several
pieces of light bread, break them in
to small pieces and pour over the
bread the usual mixture for a bread
pudding. This consists of one quart
of new milk, three well beaten eggs,
tablespoonful OF butter, sugar to
sweeten, nutmeg and vanilla, and a
small pinch of salt. A smaller guam
tity can be made. 1t is quite an i'm
provement over the usual bread pud-
ding.
Homemade Charlotte Russe-Have
a glass ready, lined with slices of
sponge cake or lady cake. Dissolve
one-third box of galatine in one
half pint of rich, sweet cream; place
the saucepan in a vessel of hot water
mot boiling-and stir until it is dis
solved. Sweeten this with one-half
cupful Of white sugar. Put one and
one-half pints of rich cream in large
bowl, or both. Set in a pan of ice.
When well chilled, whip with an egg
beater. Add the beaten whites.of two
eggs, and whip again. Pour the dis
solved gelatine and milk into a
broad, shallow dish, stirring all the
time to prevent Jumps. When it is
nearly cold stir the whipped cream
in slowly; pour it into the dish over
the cake, and set aside ON ice to cool.
The cream can be whipped while the
gelatine is cooling. One-half pint of
whipped cream can be reserved to
frost the pudding.

WeGdinq Wells,

AS to the wedding veil, it's disposal
is a matter of taste. II worn over
the face, a separate short piece for
this purpose is pinned on at the front
of the coiffure, to be taken off at the
chancel rail by the maid of honor
or one of the bridesmaids, and not
put back again. Most brides in this
country wear the veil off the face.
The same rules as to dress apply at
home as if the bride is married at
church.
The bridesmaids usually wear hats,
but very pretty custom followed
much in Europe is the wear of a
tulle veil instead of a hat. This veil,
which is adjusted with a wreath of
flowers and of course worn back from
the face is always becoming. The
veil matches the gown in color, and
the flowers are the same as those in
the bouquet. The bridesmaids and
maid of honor both wear Gloves
From Vogue.
