FROM Popular
For several years past the expenditure
by Americans travelling in Europe has
been nearly $4,000 90 annually. This is
not saying we did not get our moneys
worth at that. for quite the contrary is
true. Not one per cent of returning trav-
elers regret what 1t cost them to see the
works OF art, historical monuments. beau
tiful cities. and how the other nations live.
Even IL war should end within q month or
two. not many would care to Cross this
wear. The facilities of ocean travel to
other than European ports are either so
limited or Inadequate nat our chronic
travellers find themselves In q condition
OF ''all dressed up and no place to GO

stantly amazed ct the utter indifference

SEVEN PURDUE GOODS
IN COURT FOR HAZING
Mabel Rogers Seeks Damages
For Being Painted and
OuCked In Bathtub.
THEY THINK 1T BIG JOKE

Lafayette. Ind. S%pecial.--A legal bat
tie of unusual interest is promised this
CITY early in january, when seven Wo-
men students of Purdue university will
come into court as defendants in the
$1,000 damage suit brought against
them last April by Miss Mabel Rogers,
also a student. who charges that the
DEFENDANTS ruined her health while haz-
Ing her a year age.
The seven young women all come
from prominent families, and the in
stitution OF proceedings against them
caused great astonishment among the
1000 students at Purdue. The defend
ants are Miss Mary Clark, of ndian
apolis; Miss Ruth Cowen. of Chicago:
MISS Mary Sheridan. OF Terre Haute.
Ind; Miss Agnes Phillips. OF Monroe
vile, Ind; Miss May Blue of Star City.
Ind.
MISS Rogers is an orphan and comes
from Shoals. Ind. She is pretty but
frail. and often has been absent from
her studies through illness.
n facts which Miss Rogers ex-
poets to prove at the trial are found in
ner complaint, a voluminous affair con-
tanning fully a score of allegations of
the most sensational and damaging
nature.
Pounced On BY Seven, She Says.
n says the incident happened one
night last January in ladies' hall,
where she with the other students
had quarters. She was in her room
preparing her studies when there was
a knock on the door. She opened it
and without Il word of warning. she as
serts. n of the defendants rushed i'm
and dragged her out into the hall.
There she was met by six other young
girls and he seven pounced upon her.
Ihey first s%n,othered her screams
and then stripped her of her clothing.
One of the girls then ran, she alleges.
and secured a bottle of red ink and
painted her chest, face, back and neck.
When they had finished this diversion
they poured a bottle OF mucilage over
her back n stuck her with pins to
make her kneel.
After this treatment had been con-
tinued for some time. the girl goes
on to relate. they threw her into a tub
OF water and disappeared.
Il was i'll at the time" says Miss
Rogers. and I told my assailants this
e they attacked me. but they paid
no attention to my pleadings and treat
ed me as If l We're without feeling"
Innocent Hazing, Say Defendants.
The seven girl defendants take the
whole matter much less seriously than
does Miss Rogers. They brand the haz-
tngs as a trivial affair explaining that il
was customary for first year students
10 wait On the girls in the senior class.

he thought.
Ihen he remembered the feeling of
the little cold drops in the pantry. and
the red paint on the floor. he knew
what had caused them now: it was
the spatter of the paint as it struck the
floor.
But he was spotted and that was all
ne cared. and there he sat all day adj
miiring himself in the old mirror, think
ing not of eating. but only that he had
a spotted coat.
