SOFT SOAP GIVEN TO GIRL
IN SOCIETY INITIATION
She Is Now in a Sanitarium With
Reasonable Prospect of Her
Ultimate Recovery.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn. April 12.-At a
special meeting of the board of education
last night an investigation was set afoot
concerning the hazing of Miss Lorraine
Clark. aged sixteen. by a high school
society, resulting in the serious illness
of the girl, who is now an inmate Of Lin
den Lodge Sanitarium at Brattleboro, VT.
It is believed that the investigation will
result in steps being taken to GUST all the
secret societies In high school. in which
case there will be a bitter fight in the
courts, as the fraternities and societies
are determined to resist.
Macaronl boiled in soft soap is the
tidbit which members of the Alpha Alpha
Society, into which Miss Clark was in
itiated a month ago, admit they forced
her to eat. Since that time her health
has rapidly declined and DR.. F. c. Halter,
the family physician, states that she is
suffering from stomach poisoning due to
the soda in the soft soap.
Deepest indignation was expressed by
the girls father over the affair.
"It was only about a week ago." he
said, that my wife and 1 discovered
what was the cause Of Loraine's illness.
since the initiation last month. She con-
fessed to us that she had been forced to
eat macaroni and soap, and had been
subjected to system Of mental and
Apache Indian blush.
'She is under the care of specialist
now and her recovery Is reasonably as
sured. but for a time things looked
mighty serious. | am determined to get
to the bottom of the affair and see to the
punishment of the offenders If every
secret society in high school has to be
rooted out"

That man lied about me before was

NEAR POSTAL PROFIT
Surplus in Another Year, Is
Hitchcock's Hope.
DEFICIT 100000 LESS
So, / Ii, 900, Made in Quarter Ending
December 81, Is Largest Sur
plus Ever Recorded.

Ii Postmaster General HitchcOcks es-
t1mates-based on the auditors state
ment Of postal receipts and expenditures
for the first half of the current fiscal
year and the preliminary returns for the
third quarter. ending March Glare we'll
founded, the postal deficit for the year,
the first complete fiscal year Of the Taft
administration, will be approximately
S10.00OO0O less than for the preceding 1s-
cal year.
According to the auditors returns. the
postal deficit for the first half Of the fs-
cal year ending December 81 was but
S4,O12,OoO, against $40 2s5. 900 for the
corresponding period of the preceding
year. or something more than 5000 600
less. The second quarter Of the fiscal year
ending December 81 showed an excess of
receipts over expenditures of $2.115, 900.
the largest surplus, it is said, ever re-
corded for any quarter in the history Of
the Post Office Department.
Another Profitable Quarter.
The Postmaster General expresses be-
lief that the final figures for the quarter
ended March 81 will also show surplus
close to $2,OO0,OO0.
ing June 80 next, in which will fall GER
tain heavy expenses of the service. is like
ly, Mr.. Hitchcock says. to show deficit
AS expenditures are now running he ex-
poets that d1.iclt to be exceptionally
small.
The Postmaste, General will not be sur
prised If the excess of expenditures over
receipts for the entire year falls as low
as S5,OOO,GOO which would mean, he says,
the wiping cut of over $12OOO,00O of def
cit in the period Of twelve months.
The officers of the department attribute
the extraordinary reduction shown In. the
rate of expenditure to certain radical re-
forms that were introduced at the opening
of the year in the methods of handling
the postal business.
Surplus Within Year, Maybe.
The work of reorganization, Mr.. Hitch
cock says. is still in progress. He be-
lieves that, with certain changes he has
recommended to Congress in some OF the
postal laws which now hamper the de-
partment, 1t will be possible in another
year to place the postal service on a self
sustaining basis.
In view of the large reduction already
made in the rate of postal expenditures"
said Mr.. Hitchcock. II am now firmly Of
opinion that a proper postage charge on
periodical matter would wipe out not
only the postal deficit, but would cause
a sufficient surplus Of receipts to war
rant one-cent letter postage"

SEEING TWO COMETS
Unusual Experience at the
Naval Observatory.
SIGHT JUST BEFORE DAWN
In a Few Days Halley's Comet Will
Be Visible to the Unaided Eye,
But for a Few Minutes.

Another comet has been added to
! the bag Of the Naval Observatory
This time it is comet 1910 A, which
was picked up by J. B. Epps, as
sistant to Prof Asaph Hall. Sunday
| morning. The astronomers were look
ing for the HALEY comet, which is
visible only a few minutes just be-
fore sunrise. when Mr.. Epps flushed the
other comet. The 1910 A comet was
first seen in South Africa January IL
and has been an object Of interest to
the man with the telescope ever since.
This pick gave the United States
observator-- the combined pleasure and
honor Of Observing both comets until
the sun faded each OF those celestial
wonders beyond the vision of telescope
search, that is, for the day.
An Object of Beauty.
Several weeks ago comet AZ 1910
was an object of beauty and the CEN
ter of attraction in the astronomical
world With head downward and
feathering tail erect, resembling
streak Of the milky way, it glim-
mered brilliantly in the evening heav-
ems. and finally faded in distant space
This comet, like those Of it's predeces-
sors. and celestial wonders that pass
through the solar system, reached peri
heIion from behind the sun. swept
around swiftly. passing perihilion only
about 100000 miles from the sun,
and went almost straight away from
the earth.
Comet A." 1910, being about thirty de-
grees distant from the position of Halley's
comet, it is probable that it's appearance
at the same time is merely an interesting
coincidence, though a tendency to follow
in the same path as that OF the great
comet of 1913 has been noticed in several
cometary visitors of the past century. AS
the motion of comet AZ is northeast Its
declining stages will remain an object of
telescope observation, possibly visible I'M
der favorable conditions to the naked eye
during the spring months, while Halley's
comet, too will hang In spectacular
splendor across the heavens.
Glimpse Of Halley's Comet.
In the course of a few days the HALEY
comet will be visible to the naked eye,
but it will be at very inconvenient hour
for observation and it will be possible to
see it for only few minutes. 1t rises a
little ahead of the sun, but the light OF
the sun begins to flood the sky before 1t
actually rises, so that the comet Is visible
not later than an hour before sunrise rms
leaves only a few minutes to inspect 1t
after it actually comes into the field or
view.
AS the heavenly bodies are arranged
now the comet rises about ten degrees
north of east. In an hour it is live de-
grees north of east, and in half an hour
more it is due east. Roughly speaking,
the way to find it is by looking down any
of the lettered streets to the east about
an hour and half before sunrise.
