Leaders in the ranks of the imper

ROOM IS ABANDONED
At the High School - Not
Enough Air for 1t.

rs result of the discovery OF DR..
King that Room No IS at the high
school, originally designed as a locker
half the amount of fresh air per pupi.
of the minimum requirement. that
room was abandoned today for class
work and the class moved into Room
No 50. What will be done with the
Room No. IS is not known. Principal
|. K. Neff said that an fort might
be made TO secure more fresh air for
the room SO that it might be used for
class room but DR.. King declares
this cannot be done.
According TO Prof. Neff the room
was provided with desks and used for
classwork solely for convenience. BY
allowing Miss Edna Johnson to have
that room for her classes, every teach
er in the English department could
have a room throughout the day and
not be interrupted by having other
classes recite in their room.
There is plenty of room in the build
ing. said Prof Neff by having the
classes recite alternately in the class
rooms but as it is found more conyen
lent for each teacher to have their
own room, this policy was pursued in
the English department by giving Miss
johnson Room No. IS.
Principal Neff declared that he had
knowledge that the air in that room
was not aS good as in others but that
he did not know that it was below the
standard.

ENGLISH EARL WON
LONG WALK WAGER

Ottawa, Ont, March 2.-After walk
ing at the rate of thirty-seven miles a
day along railroad tracks, the Earl of
Perry, aid-de-camp to Earl Gray, gov
ernor general of Canada and for years
member of the British Pertinent,
walked into Ottawa from Montreal,
thus completing the last stage of a
journey from New York, where he was
usher at the wedding of Lord Decies
to Miss Gould.
The long walk was the result of a
wager made in Montreal. Earl Percy
started from that city before o'clock
Saturday morning and covered the
1111a miles to Ottawa in three days.
His course most of the way was ov-
er an exposed stretch of railway track.
The Earl was lightly attired, sworn
ing to wear an overcoat. To add to
his difficulties there was a complica-
ton at Plantagenet, one of the places
where warm clothing and fresh boots
had been left for him. The man in
whose charge the articles had been
placed declined to believe that the
rough looking person who applied for
the new clothing was real Earl and
refused to give up the articles of ap-
parel Undaunted, however, the no.
bleman shrugged his shoulders and

INSURGENCY seen
IN SPRING STYLES
Young Men, Particularly Col.
legians, Resent Dictum of
Conservative TailOrS.

The insurgent movement, so popu-
lar in all brands of politics, has mani.
tested itself i'm sartorial circles and "A
number OF gentlemen, nine of whom
are credited with the ability TO make
a man." have conceded that they will
have to build two sorts of clothes this
spring.
In the realm of mems styles the
younger or college set are the insur-
gents. During the winter they have
made 1t clear that they would not be
bound by the regulations, issued last
fall. and calculated to do away with
full coats and peg-top trousers.
Cuffs on the Trousers.
So this spring the tailors will com
promise by eliminating fancy cuffs
and braids. but they will build the
coats full in the chest form fitting al
the waist and with a spring over the
hips. Also they will make trousers
decidedly peg-topped and these will
have the regulation cuff at the bottom
For the business men. however a
more conservative style will be urged
For them the careful tailor will pre-
scribe trousers OF narrow dimensions
and close fitting coats. The English
walking coat and two and three but
ton sacks with long. wide lapels and
soft rolls will be favorites.
Favorite colors.
Tans and light browns will be the
leading shades in fabrics this spring
Tailors are showing number oil
clothes OF these styles. that they say
are absolutely new. Blues. particular
ly with white and bronze hair lines
also will be very good. These will be
used both for regular suits and to be
worn with white flannel trousers
Whether many white flannel trousers
will be worn in Richmond is too early
to say, but tailors are prepared to sup
ply them.
Fancy waistcoats are also to be more
popular than ever. These will follow
the suit fabrics and will run to tar
and brown.
Grays Always Good.
Grays are always good-no within Of
fashion keeps them long in the back
ground-and they will be particularly
favored for spring overcoatas this
year. Not SO many men wear spring
topcoats as use to do SO, but those
who do will have them made moder
ately long. and square, with general
box effect. Tans will also be affected
for overcoating.
In all sorts of clothing the day OF
padded shoulders has gone. More and
more the lines of the figure are be
ing followed. Most of the fabrics
shown are solid, or with fine lines
and checks. Advance showings indi
cate that ii will be modest spring.

senting the property owners on West
Main street, who are protesting
against the widening of the street

Chicago, March Edward Dunno,

will contest the result of the election
which made Carter Harrison the
choice OF the party. Friends of the
defeated candidate. who is a former
mayor, asserted that they believe Har-
rison's majority was SO slight that
the correct count would show that
Dunno had been elected
Should he decide not to contest, on
the other hand, Dunno likely will run
independently at the April elections
and in that event. the Sight would be
