AirpIaneS Pass Here

Two aeroplanes of the type now be-
ing used by the government in carry
ing mail between Mineola, Philadel-
phia and Washington were seen over
this city about 1f45 o'clock this morn
ing. When the machines were first
sighted they appeared to be coming IN
the direction over the lower part OF
Staten Island thes same route that is
being used by the huge crafts that are
carrying the mail over here from Phil
adelphia and Mineola.
They passed to the southwest and
were soon lost to view. Both machines
were high in the air and were going
at rapid pace. When the first glimpse
OF them were seen over the city many
were seen to look skyward at the
street corners to gaze at them flying

Taboo Spiral Socks

The making of spiral socks for the
American Red Cross, to supply to the
soldiers and sailors mas been tabooed
The spiral sock is not wanted by the
American Red Cross and its making
must be discouraged. This is an edict
from Washington.
There are a number of reasons why
the ban has been placed upon the
making of this sock. First of all, the
spiral sock takes more wool than the
ordinary sock and is not shapely. 1t
does not fit the foot but slips down
under and over the instep, forming
ridges. Orthopoedic physicians in no
way recommend 1t,
lot of women in this city are
knitting these spiral socks, and the
local Red Cross chapter announces
that it is useless to knit them as they
cannot be accepted.

Jersey City Woman Dean
Of Rutgers Woman's College

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 23-Mrs.
william Shipman Douglass. of Jersey
City, a Barnard graduate and the
pioneer promoter of the Woman's
College for New Jersey, has been
chosen for the dean of the new
woman's College which is to be
opened in the John Carpenter resi-
dence, on George street. at the foot
Of Nichol avenue, September next.
Announcement to this effect was
made by President william H. 8.
Demarest, of Rutgers College. DR..
Demarest explained the purpose Of
the new woman's college and its re-
lation to Rutgers.
Mrs. Douglass is a very charming
woman and the choice Of the Rutgers
trustees is wise one. Mrs. Douglass
has business experience, executive
and academic ability. She is fine
public speaker and has a high stan
dard of womanly qualities. The new
dean has very winning personality.
She will take up her residence at the
college, giving up her home in Jersey
City.
subscriptions are being secured
for the first years maintenance and
also toward the purchase of the
Carpenter property, which has been
rented with an option of buying it.
Substantial sums are being received
from friends Of the college who are
Interested in it's establishment.
check for 81 900 was received yester-
day from a friend of the college, an
nouncement being made at the din
ner.
To Open in September
Looked forward to as the develop
ment of a new institution that will be
typical of New Jersey" the Rutgers
Woman's College is to be opened
early In September on the recently
acquired site of the John n. Carpen-
der estate, adjoining the college farm
at New Brunswick.
BY this move, however, Rutgers
will by no means be converted into
the usual co-educational college.
About a mile from the campus, the
woman's department will necessarily
be separated from the social life
there. And, while there will be no
pre-arranged policy as to the rela-
tions between the two branches of
the institution, President Demarest
explains their growth Is apt to be in
divergent directions.

Evening journal., 1918-10-09

The first reaction, IN general here,
was that OF disappointment that the
President had asked questions Of Ger
many instead OF making a flat-fo61ed
statement Of unconditional surrender"
or something equally strong. But,
overnight digestion OF the message
turned many mems views and there
was an inclination today among those,
who at FIRST complained. 10 share the
administration viewpoint that Germany
could now either make peace on strict
ly American terms or find herself in a
diplomatic difficulty before her own
people and the world as a tricky dealer
TIE feeling on the whole was that
President Wilson had shown absOlHte-
ly no signs OF weakness, but on the
other hand had given Germany de-
cidedly stiff jolt when he demanded
that there be complete withdrawal
from occupied territories before any
peace could be considered.
As seen in government quarters the
inquiry does these things:
First-Lays the ground work for
stiff rejection OF Germany's overtures
later II Germany fails TO meet the
Presidents terms frankly and squarely
Second-Makes Germany accept the
