This particular discussion dwindled
TO an out-and-Out argument which
generated some heat, about whether
women were as resourceful as men,
and II not why not. and If so why so.
The last straw was Walters assertion
that women are dependable on men in
emergencies, whereupon Lucille told

The reporters at the wreck were so
busy asking questions Of trainmen and

Walter as he scrubbed one last I'M
paper and thrust 1t into a pocket.
At the same time the whistle of the
relief train sounded and Lucille knew
she must get aboard or be left. She
was not far from the train, but In or

over some wreckage. In so doing she
slipped and fell to the ground, q sharp

II Walter Burrows had been three
minutes sooner he would have caught
the relief train. If Lucille Mccarthy
had been three minutes later she
would have missed IT.
AS 1t was. the Tribune had the start
OF the Star. A siX-cylinder. high
geared automobile overcame the han
dicap. however. and Lucille stepped Off
the train on one side Of the piled-up
ter jumped from the tonneau Of the
car on the other.
Then began the race to clean up on
the details and get them into the re-
spective newspaper offices. which were
fifteen miles from the scene Of the
wreck.
If Lucille Mccarthy had known that
Walter Burrows was her rival in this
skirmish for facts she would have
worked more feverishly than she did.
If he had known that he had to CON-
pete with woman-and this partic-
ular woman above all others-he
would have smiled grimly and put in
q few extra ticks.
For these two reporters, although
they were on rival afternoon papers,
were erstwhile sweethearts. 1t was
through him that she obtained her
place on the Tribune, simply because
she said she wouldn't have a man who
could do something she couldn't do,
and because she thought the work
would appeal to her, which it did.
Then came an argument one after
noon. 1t started with a discussion Of
social and economic problems of the
world in general. Reporters, in their
hours of relaxation, will discuss and
argue about anything, from the price

Tho girls division of the public

OF 100 met at the high school gym
nasium last night for a preliminary
practice in the events that will consti-

That rational athletics were not origin
ated merely for the boy was sufficiently
demonstrated last night, since the girls
entered into the competition with fully
as much vim as the boys did in their
tryouts two weeks ago.
Last nights performance was in the
nature Of tryout to give the indi-
vidual teams and the individuals an idea
Of their strength or weakness. Those
who fell short Of expectations will put
in some hard licks between now and the
date of the meet In the standing hop.
