VASSAR GIRLS DRESS DOLLS
Students at Famous College Revive
Old Custom for the Benefit of
Neighborhood Child en-.

People who have been brought up
to believe that college girls are in
eyftably of masculine type might be
interested to know that the students
at Vassar college are at present in the
midst OF u embarrassing contest Nor
is this contest Il new event at Vassar.
Every year shortly before Thanksgiv-
ing GOO dolls are bought by the Chris
tan association and distributed
among the students, to be dressed in
time for Christmas for the children of
the surrounding neighborhood. AT an
appointed time the dolls are assem-
bled by their respective owners and
placed row o. row for inspection.
The best-dressed doll is selected and
her owner rewarded with u prize.
This custom has been observed at
Vassar for many years. For the last
two years, however, it has been omit
ted, owing to the exigencieS of war
work. But now that those services
are not needed the work has been
taken up again with an added inter
est and enthusiasm.

Only Way City of ST. Louis Can Get

The two-tOn bell which hangs in

bell would be very dangerous. there

The only time in recent years that
the bell has been rung was the day of

tons. They fired him with new en-
thusiasm for his city, and they init
mated that a gang of professional
land-gamblers was soon to perpetrate
an enormous theft, leaving the public
holding the sack. Still, there must be
a middle course somewhere.
At any rate, he could use Conward's
story about the land sale. That was
news-legitimate news. OF course, it
might be a faxed sale-faked for its
news value-but reporters are not paid
for being detectives. The Evening Call
carried a statement of COnward's sale,
and Gil that statement was hung a col
umn story on the growing prosperity
Of the city and its assured future, ow-
ing to its exceptional climate and
natural resources, combined with its
commanding position on transpOrta-
ton routes, both east and west and

PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL
Fact Shown in Dollars and Cents by
Figures Compiled by Bureau of
Education.

The value of staying at school is
stated in dollars and cents in figures
recently compiled by the bureau OF
education and distributed to boys and
girls throughout the country by the
chiIdren's bureau.
From a study of Il large number
of actual cases it has been found that
at twenty-five years of age the boy
who remained in school until he was
eighteen had received $1,000 more sal
airy than the boy who left school at
fourteen, and that the better-educated
youth was then receiving more than
5000 a year more in pay.
'This is equivalent to an investment
of $4,000 at > per cent" the state
ment said. "Can a boy increase his
capital as fast in any other way?
'fFrom this time on the salary OF
the better-educated boy viii rise still
more rapidly. while the earnings of the
boy who left school at fourteen will
increase but little"

forever hoping TO get something for
nothing, are now glad to buy the lots
at five hundred to ten thousand dollars
each, and by the time they've bought
it up the gang moves on. It's the
smoOthest game in the world, and
every community will fall for it at
least twice. Well, they're here.
"Of course, it's little different in
this case, because there really is some
thing in the way of natural advantages
to support it. It's not all hot air.
Now, Dave, I've been dipping in a
little already, and it struck me we
might work together on this deal.
Your paper has considerable weight,
and if that weight falls the right way
you won't find me stingy. For instance,
an item that this property''-he pro-

to keep you so long, but perhaps you
can catch the press yet" And with
one of his friendly mannerisms Con-
ward departed.

quandary. He was discouraged with
his salary, or. rather, with the lack of
prospect of any increase in his salary.

Omen Hearts Keen Young.

The mind acts upon the body, and
keeps it young. Those who grumble
at everything, who nurse resentments,
and who let their troubles sour them,
look, and actually grow, old, sooner
than the cOntented and kindly. It is
a very beautiful thing to see those
who have met many storms in life,
but who have turned their troubles
into sympathy. and kept an open heart
for all about them. And even when the
hair turns grey, and the first youth
passes. they possess that boon to
themselves and those whose life
touches theirs-a young mind.
