FACULTY TO CONTROL
ATHLETICS AT c. v. j.
Reorganization Plan Agreed on Last
Spring Becomes Operative
Next Week.

The plan adopted last spring for the re-
organization of athletics at George Wash
ington University is to be put into effect
with the opening of the collegiate year
Wednesday.
Athletics last year were under the gen
eral supervision of Prof. Leslie Cleveland
McNemar OF the department of political
science. who came forward as the savior
Of sports just as their death knell was
being sounded. Prof. McNemar personally
guaranteed the financial success of all ath-
letic undertakings for the year. and sue
ceeded in arousing an intense interest in
sports and paved the way for good
season this year.
Faculty Committee to Rule.
All student activities this year. includ-
ing athletics. will be under the supervision
of faculty committee of nine, one from
each of the nine departments of the uni
versity. Prof. Everett Fraser. dean of
the law school, is chairman, and Prof.
McNemar is. secretary. AS all depart
ments are represented on the committee
it is believed there will be greater CO.
operation this year than ever before
A basket ball team will be organized
and track meet is planned. The Rifle
Club will continue its activities. Several
of the classes probably will organize in
dividual foot ball and base ball teams.
The Interfraternity Association again will
form a bowling league. and it is possible
a tennis tournament will be arranged.
In December a referendum vote among
the students is to be taken to ascertain
what per cent desire the board of trus-
tees to impose an annual tax for the
maintenance of athletics. Two referen-
dums Of this kind were taken last year,
and about 80 per cent of those who
voted favored such tax. AS only
about one-third of the total number of
enrolled students voted, the referen-
dunn was not considered of sufficient
sweep to justify immediate action.

Just collie dog with the gentle. ex-

deal of gray about his muzzle. Folks
in Buckner. Mo-, say that they can no.
tice the gray the last three weeks or
SO but they may be mistaken in that.
Pete, being only a dog. is not expect
ed to know the depths of emotion that
persons feel. He is not supposed to
understand about death and sorrow and
utter loneliness and that sort of thing.
He was smart dog, people said, and
had been a faithful companion to his
master. William Hudspeth, who lived
on farm near Buckner.
But when Mr.. Hudspeth died three
weeks ago, everyone forgot about Pete.
There were so many things to be
looked after that the grief-stricken
family left him to his own devices.
Beyond Dogs Understanding.
1t had been strange day for Pete.
Early in the morning the people who
came to the house had routed him out
of his place in front of the door where
he had lain during the two weeks his
master was In bed
They wouldn't let him in where his
master was, not even in the house, al
though he tried to get in several times.
And then finally they brought his mas
ter out in a big box and everybody
went down the road with him. Pete
went along. of course.
They went on across the railroad
tracks and up the rock road
He stopped with the rest of them at
the place where the white stones stood
about in the grass and watched them
all go over to big hole in the ground
But his master wasn't amongst them.
Perhaps he wasn't in the big box after
all. He'd probably stopped in town as
he always did, and Pete. foolish dog.
hadn't noticed it,. 1t was much more
likely than that his master was in that
box they were putting down in the
hole.
So Pete started back. The loungers
on the bank steps called to him as he
stopped there but he paid no attention
to them. They watched him trot on

BAD MANNERS IN SOME SHOPS
Story Concerning the Amusing Su-
perclliousness of Saleswomen In
Big Establishments.

An amusing discussion took place
the other day in the dressing room
of fashionable restaurant. Three
women we're laughing over the gran

Walnut street shop. The shop was
Offering reduced rates. and one of

Mrs. X mimicked the grande maniere

Slipped on over a frilly petticoat of
silk. or one of plated crepe de chine,
an embroidered coat of light-colored
china silk is pretty enough to put one
in good humor in the early morning
hours. Here is pictured a contribu-
ton from the Orient that is a thing
OF beauty and a Joy as long as it
lasts.
The coat is cut like kimono, on the
simplest of lines. 1t is somewhat longer
than a three-quarter length, and is
slashed up at each side to depth of
about eight inches at the bottom.
There is a shaped band of silk about
the neck and down the front opening.
The fastening is made with frogs of
silk cord that match the silk in color.
In the picture coat is shown made
In lovely shade of grayish blue silk
and lined with white silk of the same
kind. The color makes the best of
backgrounds for the long sprays of
flowers. and leaves that wander over
the surface of the coat. The chrysan-
themum. shaded from pink to white. is

are in soft gray green.

road to the farm.
Waiting in Cemetery.
The sexton, working late that night,
heard a whining among the graves.
When he came to the newest one he
found Pete. The dog lay on the grass
at the side of the headstone and would
not come away when he sexton left.
The next morning he was still there.
Since then Pete has never missed
a day at the graveyard When he
turns in from the road he goes straight
to the Hudspeth lot and stays there for
hours at a time. The sexton has no.
ticed his restlessness. He haunts
around among the stones only to re-
turn to his masters grave. Finally
he goes back to town and makes once
more the round of the stores.
Sometimes he goes out to the farm
then. Sometimes he goes back to the
graveyard and the sexton finds him in
the morning whining at the mound of
earth. Always he has a restless,
troubled air as ne searches for some
one who cannot be found.
And there he sits at his masters
grave.

fashionable women of Paris have
learned many things of which they
were In complete ignorance. They
know now what social endeavor
means. and they understand the spirit
which prompted American women to
establish social settlements and to at
tempt to help those who seemed pow

When this war Is over social set
Element work in Paris will be upon a
firm foundation, the stones Of 1t be-

ago hardly knew what social endeavor

There is only one woman's club in the
whole city of Paris, and that is lit
tie more than what might be called
a Tea club" An American woman
who is the president of a woman's
club In the city of Washington came
to Paris recently. The French women
of high estate asked her to tell them
all about woman's club life in Amer
lea, the so-called social uplift. and the
general plan Of American women to do
good in the communities in which they
dwell
The women of Paris were told what
they wanted to know. They showed
deep interest in the effort of American
women to make life easy, to do some
thing for the mothers, and to make
the way of the working girl easier.
1t is perhaps almost startling to say
that the women of Paris are show
ing an interest in woman suffrage.
Thirteen months ago society wom-
an of Paris would have been held al
most an anarchist If she had ex-
pressed a desire to know of woman's
suffrage with view of possible con-
version to a belief in it. When this
war Is over there can be no doubt that
woman's clubs will be founded. In

berships and that into their work will
be thrown spirit of devotion.

From eight o'clock every morning
until five o'clock in the afternoon the

tunity to earn their daily bread At
FIVE O'Clock the society women go back
home to enjoy the only relaxation OF
the day. To a considerable extent.
Paris has taken over the English Gus

the city drink tea at five o'clock. and
