Would Make Her Look Awful.
A lady-no names mentioned, thank
you-learned that the sort of Indian
robe she would be compelled to wear
would just make her look something
awful, don't you know. The lady in
question checked in at about goo
pounds and a set of Fairbanks scales
didn't so much as blush when it reg
isterd the returns. So the large and
patriotics lady talked the matter over
with other large and patriotic ladies.

was too late to change the program.
Announcements had been made
Things even worse happened 1t

members whose weights were far be-
low the 200 standard, were quietly en-

A woman in the white hope class
might attend a society function and
dress for the occasion and arouse no
comment. But when this woman
donned the loosefitting Indian gar

Now a few alterations are being
made in the plans, according to the
announcement from inner circles. The
Indian pageant will be staged. But
1t will be under strict and rigid regula-

ladies will wear-well, whatever the
dressmaker thinks ought to be worn,
you understand Maybe corsets or
some such things.
And then, above all. there will be
no pictures. No stree. Newer.

Proper care of the ''old man of the
school room,' the defective child,
came in for major portion of argu-
ment at the closing session this morn
ing of the third annual meeting of the
State Educational council in repre-
sentative hall. Miss Harriet Daniels
proposed a Special School
Of Opportunity for such children,
which not only gives the defective
child an opportunity to advance in
knowledge as he is capable but also
would provide the normal child no
drawback to continue with his studies
and not be held back by the defect
ives. Also this special school of OPP
portunity' could be pressed into ser
vice in coaching strange pupils in
studies they did not have in the
schools from which they came.

Submarine Noses Way Up Onto BcacI
Coming to Surface.

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 22.-The crew
of the United States Monitor Cheyenne
hoped to pull into deeper water today
the stranded United States Submarine
HIS, which grounded late yesterday on
a mud bank while rising to the sur
face from a cruise in San Diego BAY
The underwater craft was resting high
and dry on the bank and was not
damaged. Part of her crew was sent
to the Cheyenne and others were left
aboard to keep things shipshape dur
ing the night.
Alleged fault of the lighthouse serv-
ice to replace a buoy lost two years
ago was attributed by shipping men as
one OF the principal reasons for the
stranding.
The accident of the H-3 was her
second misfortune. Last fall she ran
ashore in a fog off Point Sur. Cali

five lives, occurred recently in the
