Students "Getting Even."
Ohio State university students are
finding a new and novel way of
getting even" with the Columbus
laundries for raising the laundry rates.
The retaliation on the part of the stu
dents consists Of sending their wash
ing back home" through the medium
of the parcel post The student whose
monthly allowance doesn't keep pace
with the rapid increase in Columbus
laundry rates finds the new policy
both economical and eXpedient. He
can send his washing home and have
it returned practically as quickly as
he can have it done at big steam
laundry here, and the postage cost is
almost inconsequential when COM
pared with the laundry tariff of Is
cents for shirt and cents for a cuff.
Laundry packages can be sent from
here to any part Of the state virtually
for from to 8 cents. Five cents car
ries one pound package and cents
a four pound package. Girls as we'll
as boys are adopting the new plan,
and it Is indicated that the system will
become universal unless the laundries
begin to descend in their charges.
Used Rubber Stamp to Forge.
Although unable to either read or
write, Jerry Norman has been
brought to the penitentiary to serve
term of one year for forgery. He was
convicted at Dayton several months
ago, but was released on probation
When the word came to the peniten-
tiary that Norman was up to his old
tricks again, the officials were inclined
to place no credence in the report, but
an investigation developed that it was
true. Norman was found to be using
rubber stamp to work his forgery
stunt. He was taken in charge by the
state parole officer and brought to the
penitentiary.
Unusual Proceeding.
So that deaf sister of the deceased
would know what was said by the Off
ciating ministers, stenographic re-
port was taken of every word uttered
at the funeral Of Caroline Read, 73,
which was held Monday afternoon.
The sister for whose benefit this was
done is Rosa Reed, who, with her sis
ter, were members of the Methodist
church more than so years. They
were inseparable. The proceeding was
most unusual one.
Tells of Captured Flag.

one when they captured our flag" said
