Fress is making short stay here

Miss Fress has been in this coun-
try but four years and has the dis
tinction of being the only Egyptian
woman living in America. She has
been forced to give up her studies
at Columb ia university, where she
has been studying the past four
years. She has had a two-year

BOY "PLAYING HOCKEY"
GETS TWO WEEKS
TO SAVE HIMSELF

Refusing to go to school as re-
quired and making his case doubly
difficult by continual lying to teach
er. parents and court and attorneys.
Joseph Powicki. IA years old. has
trouble. Through the leniency of
the court he has been given two
weeks in which TO make good.
Leay Powicki. the boys father,
who was arraigned in city court Fri
day morning for failure 10 send his
child TO school, told the court that
he did not know of the absences of
his son. He said that he had sent
him regularly and that especially
after the filing of a previous charge
for similar offenses, he had been
careful TO instruct that Joseph go
TO school daily.
Difficulty was found by the court
when the case had been called about
week ago owing TO the fact that
the attorney for the defense re-
fused to accept the word of the
truant officer and demanded the
testimony of the teacher of the boy.
This formality was gone through
this morning, the teacher testifying
besides the fact that the boy had
been absent nearly 30 days. that he
was a persistent liar and could not
be trusted TO tell the truth under
any circumstances. The boy is sup
pose' 70 attend the vocational
school now situated in the old JEFF
ferson building.
Joseph promised the court that
he would be good if he were given a
chance He admitted having writ
ten at least two Of the excuses that
he had furnished the teacher and
, had signed himself and the other he
had his mother. who cannot read
English. sign for him. He said
that he would attend school regu-
larly and not PLAY truant as has
been his custom.
