YALE TEACHERS DAUGHTER
SNUBBED AT ANNAPOLIS
Was Treated as if She Was
q Servant

New Haven, Conn, April 3.-Prof
Henry A. Beers, of Yale, will ask the
navy department to investigate the
treatment of his daughter, Miss Cath
crime Beers, at the Annapolis Naval
Academy, if the facts are as represent
ed to him. H. A. Beers, Jr, arrived
home this evening and told his sister S
story to their father
Rear-Admiral William C. Gibson, re-
tired, formerly of the Brooklyn navy
yard, has offered his services in the
pressing of the demand for an investi-
cation. He is an old friend of the
family.
Prof. Beers tonight said:
my daughter is a graduate of Pratt
Institute in domestic science. She is d
friend of Mrs. Tarrant, who invited her
to be her companion and share her
household duties with her last summer.
My daughter has been with the Tar
rants as a member of the family since
then. Mrs. Tarrant has introduced her
into society at places they visited dur
ing the summer and has chaperoned
her to various society events in An
napOlis during the winter. l have writ
ten to Mrs Tarrant, and to my daugh-
ter, asking them to tell me the fac's
in the case"
Friends of Miss Beers are indignant
at the action of the Naval Academy in
refusing to allow her to attend social
functions at the academy on the ground
that she is doing homework when
acting as companion of Mrs. Tarrant,
ia lieutenant's wife.
Prof. Beers was deluged with calls
today from fellow members of the fac
ulty and members of New Haven So
ciety, who rendered their sympathy

FOR LOVE OF DAMSEL
man TAKES HIS LIFE
Kills Himself When Maiden
Tilted Him

Atlanta, Ca, April 3.-Charles Will
son, 20-year-old boy of prominent
family at Stockbridge, Ga, lies in {
dying condition; and his sweetheart
Miss Lois Gilbert, is heartbroken, be
cause she failed to realize that he
was speaking in earnest when he de-
clared to her that he was tired of liv-
ing and was going out to kill himself
The tragedy occurred not block
from the residence of S. F. Brown, d
well known citizen of Hapeville, Ca,
where Miss Gilbert had been visiting
several weeks, and where young Will
son had come to call on her several
times.
Last Saturday night she refused to
marry him and told him that it was the
last time, that he needn't ask her again
but that they could be good friends
if he wished.
A few minutes later, as she was
about to retire with no serious thought
of the boys rash words, Miss Gilbert
was startled by the sound of pistol
shot not far distant; and in great agi-
alton she alarmed the family, realizing
that her lover had meant what he
said.
They found him lying partly cons
cious on the sidewalk, and he was hur-
ried to the ATLANTA hospital, where but
slight hope is entertained for his re-
covery.

HANDSOME CUP IS GIVEN
TO MRS. M. 7. ELAN
Testimonial Of Esteem From
Friends

An interesting occasion. and ont
wherein tears expressive of gratitud,
and affection were mingled with word,
of sincerest congratulation, occurred
at Mrs. NJ. T. Elam's store yesterday
afternoon, the complete surprise thus
given the charming and much-loved
honoree adding greatly thereto.
AS Mrs Elan entered, returning
from luncheon, a half hundred friends
assembled by invitation arose. while
Mr. E. A Nisbet presented her a mag
nificent loving cup, the gift of five
houses with which she dealt.
Mrs. Elam's surprise can better DE
imagined than described, as with tears
of gratitude she listened OF the elo-
quent words of the speaker, so re-
plete with tenderness and sincere good
will, and received from his hands the
eXquisitely beautiful gift.
The loving cup, which stands twenty
inches upon its pedestal, is of solid
silver, gold lined, and one of the
handsomest that could be purchased
in New York 1t is beautifully in
scribed, and is an anniversary gift
from sincere good friends with whom
Mrs. Elan has long dealt.
The generous donors are John
Miles, New York; James G. Johnson,
New York Armstrong, Cater & Co. and
Dowell Holman & Co., Baltimore, and
Ernest L. Rhodes c., Atlanta
Mrs Elan has just presided at her
eighty-eighth millinery opening, and
the handsome gift thus commentaries
that event Many sincere congratula-
tions were showered upon her yester-
day and the wish expressed that the
century mark may be passed amid
surroundings quite as pleasant.
Nothing possessed by this dear,
sweet lady is more highly priced that
the handsome testimonial of esteem
given her yesterday.

DOES VANITY CAUSE
HIGH PRICE OF living?
This Is Claim Of Distinguish
ed Educator

Boston, Mass, April 3.-To a craze
for vanity, coupled with a dread of
mOnotony and to modern innovations,
Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, an instruct
ress in chemistry at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, lays the
blame for the high cost of living Her
observations are made in answer to the
question:: Does the increased cost
of living mark a social advanced"
She said:
when I went to housekeeping 35
years ago on the same spot and I'M
der the same conditions as now our
running expenses were about one-half
as much. From what direction has the
increase come? The snow pillow no
longer cleans our sidewalks; it must
be shOveled to the gutter. The post
man comes five times a day instead Of
twice. The telephone bill not only
costs $50 a year but doubles the gro
GERS delivery, and hence his charges
for it. 1t certainly doubles the steps
taken and the stairs assembled by some
one.
Hardwood floors means twice the
work of carpets. The cost of carpets.
The cost of guests is double, not be-
cause the food we used to set before
them was not good and sufficient, but
because we have not the moral cour-
age to give simpler entertainment.
I'VE could give the same things At
the same cost, but we pay so cents for
cream, instead of 40 cents, and we
have six courses instead of three, with
the corresponding number of dishes
to handle and double time to serve and
prepare and clean away
The more elaborate service, the
greater number of things, is in one
sense a social advance, as it is sup
posed to mean a gain in standing
ga perfect craze for variety has
taken possession of the world. Moth
ing is so much dreaded as monotOny.
This means restless, dissatisfied life.
The daily work is not monotony
so long as one does not wish to do
something else
Craze For Amusement Explored.
at is this craving for variety which
has doubled the living expenses of
most families. We all go in town two
or three times a day. We all go to
moving picture shows, to theatres, con-
erts; We go motoring, instead of quiet
ly reading, rearranging the pictures or
the furnialre, mending the curtains or
broken china. AS for sewing and car
pentering, who does it?
'fIt is because of the comic supple
ment that the man who sets up his
own stove or hoes his own garden is
made ridiculous.
What do we gain by it? Anything
valuable to mans real advance? Is So
ciety or the individual wiser in what
counts, or more learned, happier, bet
ter in any way? Does not each dollar
in excess mean a greater strain on
some nerve, a greater chance of mental
collapse?
What is the poor American to do in

II will be great BODYBUILDING

is well under way in every section
OF the city. The architects are head
over heels In work and there is no
sign of let-up for several months TO

! A feature of the BODYBUILDING ac-

popularity of the tile and stucco and
! the plaster and stucco types OF dwell

adaptability to artisGc designs are
two advantages that seem TO be quite
generally recognized by prospective
! home-builders. The result Is that u
larger number OF dwellings OF this
class will be erected in Detroit the
coming year than ever before.
Porter E. Tucker has just let con-
tracts for a handsome tile and stucco
residence and garage he will build
for himself on Longfellow-ave., near

While the past week was quieter
than any for some time in the matter
of large contracts, the number OF res
idence plans figured was larger than
ever and things are shaping them
selves for some lively doings the next
two or three weeks.
