Maj. Dapray Reports at Mary
land Agricultural
College.
Special Correspondence of The Star.


HYATTSVILLE, Md. January IA, 1912.
Maj. John A. Dapray, L. S. A, retired.
recently detailed as professor of military
science and tactics at the Maryland Agri-
cultural College. reported yesterday to
Acting President Thomas H. Spence. Maj.

of the faculty at a meeting held in the
engineering building.
The College Park Telephone Company,
consisting of patrons of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company, met
last night at the experiment station to
consider the proposition of the telephone
company to remove the exchange from
Hyattsville to Berwyn. The telephone
company claims that the HyattSVllie eN-
change is too heavily loaded to give the
College Park people proper service. ana
PROPOSES to transfer the lines to the Der
wyn exchange After considerable dis
cussion it was agreed to accept the com
panv's proposition. The removal of the
exchange means that calls between Hy-
attsyjlle and College Park through the
Berwyn exchange will cost the subserib-
erS - cents.
Director Harry J. Patterson resigned
as agent of the agricultural college ana
station syndicate, and Prof. Thomas -
Symons was elected to fiji the vacancy.
The experiment station owns practically
all of the wires in College Park used by
the telephone company.
The annual short course session at the
January g. and. despite the recent disas-
trous fire at the college, is being attended
by more than the average number OF
students.

Are Made by the Girls.

In the meantime, while the discussion
is going on as to whether the collarette
will prove popular, some Of the prettiest
and brightest girls are said to be wear
ing these new and convenient collarettes.
The girls make them themselves.
No one seems to doubt the fact that
the new supplement to wOman's dress is
useful; opinion as to it's beauty is about
evenly divided. But against all stands
the old psychological fact that seems an
ever-present obstruction in the pathway
of hurnans-it is something that hasn't
been done before.
If the new style carries-and lively
effort will be made to have it carried
the girls OF Business High School prooa-
bly, will have the honor of setting a use
full style that may be adopted by the
girls of other high schools

Invention Fills a Want.

The chief reason of being of the new
Business High School fashion is the fact
that girls clothes generally are not pro-
vided with pockets. Having none. the
girls often leave their money in their
desks or lockers, with the result that nu-
merous thefts have been reported from
time to time In not only the Business
but other high schools of this city. Then,
again, some of the girls make a practice
OF carrying pens with unprotected points,
resulting occasionally in slight injuries.
A third reason is that other girls do not
carry either pencils or pens because they
have no pockets and are continually bor-
rowing them from their classroom teach.
erS
AS an outcome of these varied faults.
as they are viewed by several teachers,
the pocket collarette was evolved. 1t is
said to do away with them.
When the collarette made its first ap
pearance it sprang into immediate favor
with several Of the teachers. Particularly
the man teachers. and several of the
girls. Others, however. Immediately
declared against it-pOssibly because it
had not been designed by a famed
modiste of Paris.
One teacher, who last year had IS ap-
propriated from her desk, declared she
would rather lose another eight than to
wear one of the new collarettes.
