MRS. VINCENT AT

Wife of President of State Uni.
versity Says Work for Relief
of Belgians Must Continue.

Mrs. George E. Vincent, wife of
President Vincent of the University
of Minnesota, is the guest of Mrs.
Otto A. Poirier, 307 Spruce street,
Virginia, today on her first visit to the

lighted with irginia and the Range,
and says she finds it quite equal to
the glowing descriptions of it given
by her husband, who has several
times visited the Iron country as the
guest Of the Range Alumni as
sociation of the University.
Mrs. Vincent's visit to the Range is
for the purpose of arousing new in
terest in the work Of Belgian relief
here. To all with whom she has dis
cussed the subject today she has en-
phasized that the need for putting the
work for Belgian relief on q perma-
nent basis is imperative in the inter-
est of humanity. Mrs. Vincent has
travelled widely in Europe and has
many friends in all the war zones
with whom she is still in conmunica-
ton. The letters she receives from
them convince her that the actual
situation is, if anything, much more
deplorable than it is generally under
stood to be. She was a member Of a
party on tour Of the continent when
the war broke out and with others ws
detained by the Russian authoritie-
at St. Petersburg. Her trunks are
still in the city Of Moscow.
At Eveleth this Afternoon.
Mrs. Vincent is addressing a meet
ing at Eveleth this afternoon. Tonight
she will be the guest of honor at an
informal reception at the Virginia
public library, when she will give a
short address on the need of perma-
nent relief work for the stricken BEL
gians. The general public is con-
daily invited to attend the reception.

Come Oh, Margie. let's go over

hardly seen them since before Dad

Eliene raised her head in surprise as

which Harry answered apologetically
by saying, when they get into their
little pajamas and are divested oi

Just then the baby in Eliene's arms
caught sight OF Dick and held out his
hand to him.

A frequent mistake is that OF hav-

her hair done at the hairdressers at

The only thing a hairdresser does
is TO make your head look like one
