The whole trouble with this idea
about the domination of the theater
by the young girl is not so much in
the minds of the girls themselves as
it is the erroneous notions of their
elders as to what a young girl should
know. The best thinkers of today,
both men and women, say that the
young girl should be taught the truth
about life. Prejudice and mock mod:
esty must not be allowed to bind her
mind in ignorance and perhaps at last
break her heart.

A sensational attempt to kill Arthur
Rybitzki, daring San Francisco avi-

leave the ground in the aeroplane,
but the instant he tried to dip the
machine would have fallen apart.
The plane was tampered with in the
hangar of the Christofferson aviation

mechanician, L. S. Wallace, Saturday
afternoon. The hangar had been un-

ever. that there is suit over the
ownership of the machine.
