NEW ENGLAND IS
 STIRRED BY BOOK

WELLESLEY, Mass, March g. Professor Vida Dutton Scudder, of the Wellesley college faculty, has just completed a book on Social ism and Character" which is being widely discussed in New England literary circles. Miss Scudder, who is professor of English, gave BCs- tons 400 a decided shock some years ago, when she was said to have de clared that she felt like blowing up some of the fashionable Boston ave nues with a bomb in order to arouse needs of the poor about them.
 Miss Scudder's book is, she writes, from the point of view of a class conscious revolutionary Socialist. The book shows the probable eff feet of Socialism on individual char acter and incidentally urges the training of character in certain di- rections as preparation for Social ism.
 Miss Scudder writes in her book as follows:
 Socialism is now making itself felt in every Anglo-Saxon country, not merely an academic theory, but as a political force. Associations enlisting the joint support of high finance and high ideals are formed against it; local victories in the United States increase with each election. Shall this Socialism re- main purely political or shall it's rich moral possibilities be fostered and utilized?
 The word Socialism, moreover, shows to the writer, not with the delicate rose pink so pleasantly pop ular, but with deep uncompromis- ing red
 He who joins the Socialist move ment feels himself member of a mdrChlng host or comrades, ana as they advance against the forts of folly there's music in the air, Love and pity are stronger than in the past ages, but their bewildered feet are habitually tangled in mazes of red tape.
 Sweet charity is with us still. But the joy has died out of her eyes. She no longer dances, but treads gingerly like a modern lady in a hobble skirt, nervous, self-dis- trustful, conscientious and little discouraged"

WAIST LINE DROPS

LONDON, Feb. 29 Women are informed by dictators of fashion that the waist line is to be changed this year and put back where it used to be-
 We are abandoning the straight, flat, high-waisted figure said a Bond street corsetiere, for a more natural shape.
 The new corset is long and high, the extension in length being chief ly upwards, and this stands to the elimination of the entirely flat fig ure. The waist line is more nor nal and the remainder of the figure is straight except a slight curve at the back.
 There is no cause for alarm that the much-dreaded hustle will ever come back. Women of today are too sensible to adopt such a form distorting fashion"

ST. LOUIS, March | - For the first time in the history of heavier than-air flying, a man leaped from an aeroplane al Jefferson Barracks this afternoon and descended 1.500
 feet to the earth in parachute. The man was Captain Albert Der

 wildly and surrounding the man. lifted him from the ground and half

 Berry and Pilot Jannus left the kinloch aviation field in the after
 noon in a two-passenger biplane. Be
 heath the machine, in specially
 constructed case, was a large para chute, similar to those with which aeronauts leap.
 The soldiers were astonished to see Berry slip down under the aero plane. It took them several sec
 onds to divine that he had climbed to a trapeze bar attached to a | parachute.

through with decision in his fight with Frankie Burns. Coulon has held the belt for a long time now and il will not be long now before he will probably have to put the ex before his title.
 NEW YORK, March At appears almost certain that Al Palzer will be the man to fight Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship title. PalZer. prltege of Tom O Rourke, has made rapid strides in puglism and by next fall, when he will probably fight Johnson, ought to be at the pinnacle of physical condition.
 ORourke. keenly alive to the great possibilities if PalZer whips the ne gro, is giving personal attention to the training and development of the young Western farmer, and is leav- ing nothing undone to make him a perfect fighting machine.
 Palzer's most important fight, and the one that will show to O'Rourke a chance to whip Johnson will be with English Champion Bombardier Wells. They have been matched for a twenty-round battle at San Francisco on July 4. If Palzer whips the Briton decisively Johnson will be challenged immediately and there is no doubt about the negro accepting.
 The purse will be of such propor- tions that he cannot afford to ig- nore it, and aside from the monetary

 Mandot came back strongly in the fourth, clipping Moore in the face and nose and raising a large bump over the left eye which was almost closed al the end of the fight.
 Moore caught Mandot on the jaw twice in the fifth with swinging back hand blows that were stag sering. Both missed swings and fell just before the bell.

months tour OF the country, speak
ing in Washington, Detroit, Cincin-

Since his arrival in America last
October. Father Vaughn. by his lee
turss has done more to stir up a
universal discussion Of Socialism
than has any other man in recent
years So great was the attention
he attracted in New York that i'm
mense thronss. not only Of Catholics,
but non-Catholics, sought attend
ance wherever he made an address.
st. Patrick's Cathedral was not large
enough to accommodate his au-
diences. The metropolitan press
paid him glowing tribute, charac-
teri2ing his work rs the strongest
and most logical attack on Socialism
ever made inathis country.
Besides Socialism. Father Vaughn
also spoke on Joan OF Arc" Char
| ity," THE Present Day Unrest and
Its Causes" and other timely sub
jects His lectures on Catholieity
attracted wide attention and during
his few weeks in New York he was
| instrumental in bringing many peo-
pie into the Church, among whom
were Mrs w. Taft. sister-in-law or
| the President, and Mrs, William
Post, sister of Mrs Frederick Van

He had not intended originally to
discuss Socialism while here, but
was importunad 10 do so by Cardi-
nal Farley. He refused at all times
