NAssAU's HELL DEVIL" DIES
Famous Expressman, Who Predicted
Football Victory, Injured in Fall


Charles skillman. or Hell devil" Skill
man. as he was letter known 70 thou
sands OF Princeton University under
graduates, ono OF the traditional charac-
ters of that institution, is dead. He died
yesterday in the Mckinley Hospital. IN
Trenton, Of injuries received when he
fell down stairs in his home in Prince
ton the night before.
Hell devir' reached fame and the
hearts of the Princeton students when.
In a wild burst OF prophecy, he predicted
the score OF the Princeton-Yaie football
game in 1908.
An expressman by trade, slxillman al
ways experienced a feeling several days
before the annual gridiron clash of the
two university teams that made work
seem not only unnecessary but some
thing of sacrilege. II was not often he
was not thoroughly imbued with Prince
ton spirit, but Just before those games
he Just had to get little bit more. And
down at the Mass" with scores OF old
grads around him, was the place to do II.
on one OF these occasions, thoroughly
imbued with spirit OF one sort and an
other. including prophecy. he was unable
TO contain himself.
by all the claws of the tiger versus
the teeth of the bulldog Princeton will
lick Yale tomorrow by the score OF 1C
to s." he cried.
ITS an omen," shouted the grads
within hearing and backed II up hand
somely with the coin OF the realm
Princeton beat Yale the next day II
to G.
Flushed with the Joy of the feat which
even the years could not dampen, Hell
devil ventured predictions regularly in
subsequent years. 1t spoils the story tc
say he never hit II right again, but II did
not spoil his position in the affection OF
the Princeton students
He hit II once and that is all they care
to remember.

This neutrality-suspicious. against war

trys position in the international arena,
in the opinion Of John Grier Hibben,
president Of Princeton University and
friend of President Wilson, who today
granted an exclusive interview to a rep
resentative of the EVENING LEDGER. The
interview is remarkable in that Doctor
Hibben freely discussed a variety of
topics.
Doctor Hibben addressed the eighth an

schools at st. Luke's School, Wayne, yes

short time.

other things make for beauty and IL
lusion. Excellent costumes. a picturesque
Indian lover who dies to save the hero
ine, some clever use of rocky eminences.
and particularly three very tasteful in
teriors, sparingly decorated in the charm
ing way of those simpler times, all help
TO make the Continental's first offering
interesting on the pictorial side.
The story is a simple, STRAIGHTFORWARD
tale of love and villainy. with duels, pur-
suits, escapes and a few spectacular de-
tails, like hagpole climbing and dives
from high rocks, without which no movie
is now complete. Two features call for
special comment. One is the episode in
which the girls go to war disguised as
youths
This common enough incident of ro-
mantle plays naturally fails of reality in
the movies and supplies only comic relief.
The other episode is the Battle of Sara
tOga. Though the aim of the producer
was not to stage a scene which might be
called into comparison with such big spe-
cial films as THE Birth of a Nation
and THE Battle of Gettysburg" 1t is
really remarkably effective. A slight re-
arrangement of earlier episodes would
heighten the clash; but, as they stand.
the scaling of a cliff, an ambuscade from
a hilltop and fusillade across rock
trimmed lake, all make an admirable
background for the chief incident. Flos-
sizes climbing OF the fiagpole at the Brit
ish headquarters to wave the American
troops to victory.
May Ward makes an effective and
vivacious Colonial girl. Her support is
excellent, with the exception OF the
STACEY villainy of Olaf Skavian. Jack
Murray and William H. Cone call for
special commentator.

one Of the mysteries of hlmdom is why
me colonial period in American history
has been so little exploited. considering
Ms dramatic and picturesque qualities.
possibly the explanation is the cost Of

The latter trouble was solved for the
rroducers Of "a Continental Girl" when
they located their studio in Germantown

Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
can. forming acid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy
lumpy misery in the cnest, we belch
up gas. we eructate sour. food or
have heartburn, flatulence, water

of water before breakfast and drink
