WOMAN'S CLUB SHOW
Vaudeville of Dozen Good Features
Nets $50 for Civic Service

Rain interfered with the attendance
but still there was a fairly large audi
ence present in the Town Hall Monday
night to enjoy the vaudeville staged un-
der direction of the Womans Club
The net proceeds were $4,000 and will
be used for community service. A
farce, Joint Owners in Spain was
the central feature of the show, and in
this farce Mrs, L. J. Hathaway was the
central figure. Her makeup as a
troublesome woman inmate of an old
ladies home, and her acting of the part
were especially good. The Others in
the cast included Mrs. d. L. Robinson,
who successfully carried one of the
principal roles, and Miss Rodriguez
and Mrs Ryland who acted minor
parts.
The most popular musical feature
Of the evening was the singing of a
Norwegian love song-"I come on the
skii"- and some southern melodies by
Mrs. Luther l. Bonney. Always a
pleasing singer, Mrs. Bonney has given
her voice additional charm by training
the past winter and has a repertoire
of good and new songs. Prof H. P.
w. de Visme and Mrs. Emilio Donati
were especially pleasing, also 1t was
possibly the last public appearance of
Mrs. Donati here for she plans to sail
on the Goth of this month for Italy to
join her husband in Rome, after having
spent the winter in Middlebury and
given generously of her talents in local
entertainments Miss Florence Trudo,
ten-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jerry c. Trudo of South street sang
Bubbles" and another song with much
and deserved approval from the audi
ence, while Miss Clara Wisell was also
applauded for her vocal solo. Piano
duets by Mrs John H. Stewart and
Mrs Charles Cady, singing by the Col
lege Quartette, readings by Mrs l. n
Bartlett and a Cake Walk by Jesse
Baldwin and Frederika Platt completed
the program After the regular show,
however, little Miss Flora Donati gave
A charming dance in front of the drop
curtain Miss Irene Burns, Miss Hilda
Woodruff and Miss Rena Dumas were
piano accompanies of the evening.

SHOREHAM GIRL
ON KAISER'S FARM

Miss Mary Gralfam, former resi-
dent of Shoreham, but who has been
a missionary in Turkey for the past
ten years, now has the distinction of
being i'll charge of a farm near Sivas
Turkey, which was once owned by
the former German Emperor and which
is now operated by the Near East Re
lief for the benefit of Armenian chill
dren. Miss Gralfam has charge of 500
destitute waits, the victims of Turkish
barbarity. There are about 700 acres
in the farm and hundreds of blooded
cattle roam the hills, while the rich
valleys grow fine tobacco in great
abundance. 1t was a place which once
attracted the eye of William of Hohen-
zollern and his recent ownership of it
is identified by deeds on file at Con
stantinople. During the war the EN-
peror had the farm operated by care
taker and staff of peasants but when
Germany was defeated the caretakers
had the estate turned over to Miss
Graffam in recognition of her helpful
service as a missionary in that section.
Miss Graffam is a sister of Mr. c.
H. Partridge who formerly lived in
Shoreham and who is also a missionary
in Turkey.

MIDD HIGH SCHOOL
WON 7 GAMES

The Middlebury High School bas
ket-tossers brought their season to a
successful close Tuesday night, wher
they easily trimmed the Alumni team
The High School aggregation enjoyed
their best season, winning seven out
of total of ten games played. Vic
tories are held over Bristol twice, Proc
tor twice, Brandon, the Alumni and the
College Freshmen; the team lost to
Brandon and to Cathedral High of
Burlington.
The local team proved to be a fast,
hard working crew, showing flashes in
their games OF having an organized
passing and clever team The teams
were tested mainly through the results
of the accurate passing and shooting,
showing the effects of training to de
velop team work.
The men who played deserve great
credit for their work on the court
Foremost in the ranks was Capt. Cal
houn whose defensive game proved
serious handicap to Midds opponents.
He was nicely supported by Tulley and
Burns, the latter proving good at for
ward Taylor at forward and center
was a tower of strength on the of
fensive, his playing being of first class
calibre. Stanton Eddy and Ralph
Eddy also showed class and together
with Baldwin and Smith, filled in
handsomely. The first team was not
sharply defined, as all the men on the
squad played equally well, team work
being the big idea
The season just ended marks Mid
dlebury Highs entry as a basketball
center among Vermont teams and with
this past year as background, the out
look for a good team next year is
bright
The scores OF the games played are
as fOllOWS.

SAVED A BOY
FROM DROWNING

An act of heroism which escaped no.
tice when it occurred two weeks ago
today, but which is seemingly deserv-
ing of recognition by the Carnegie
Hero Fund commission, has now be-
come known
Wilbur Smith, the twelve year old
son of Mr. and Mrs Alva Smith, lanes
Barron, the IA year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. James Barron and John Car
rigan, the IA year old son of Frank P.
Carrigan, who lives in the Battell
Block, were playing with a raft in an
abandoned quarry near the Battell
farm, east OF the village, where the
village stone crusher is located Young
Smith was on the raft when he slipped
and fell off into the deep water of the
quarry pit. The quarry has an area
of several hundred square feet and
having been worked for many years it
is of great depth. The recent thaws
and rains had nearly filled the big hole
with water When Smith was pre-
cipitated into the water Barron was
first to see him and attempted to reach
him by getting out on a log. Barron
could not SWIM however, and he nearly
lost his own LIE before he gave up his
effort
Young Carrigan in the meantime &
to a good vantage point for dive and
three times he went into the icy water.
The first time he suffered so much from
the shock of cold, and had such diff
Guilty combating the broken ice cakes
that he had to withdraw In his sec
ond effort he nearly saved Smith when
he himself lost his breath and strengt
and had to let go. Seeing his chum go
down for the third time however, he
dived again for him and caught him
by the hair of the head and dragged
him to safety. The drowning boy
so delirious that he still called for help
long after Barron and Carrigan had
him safe on land. The two boys work
ed over him and got the water out of
his stomach and lungs and later car
red him to the Barron home on High
street where he was resuscitated and
warmly clothed

SKILLTNGS TAKES
BOOKS TO GERMANS

Professor Everett Skillings of Mid
dlebury College, who has been spend
ing furlough in England, is planning
to enter Germany temporarily to dis
tribute English and American books
and literature among the teachers of
English in the universities of that
country, according to an Associated
Press despatch. In letter recently re-
ceived the Professor explains his new
mission in his own words:
Cambridge, March Is
Il am in Cambridge in the interests
of new scheme las the English say
in connection with the Relief Work
of the Society of Friends. l have not
the time at my disposal now to enter
into details, but briefly it is what
someone has styled an intellectual
famine relief movement. | am seeing
some of the representative men in the
English and Scotch Universities and in
about two weeks go to Germany and
Vienna to the universities to make
preliminary arrangements for establish
ing loan libraries Ito university teach
ers of English works in philosophy
science, literature, etc, published since
the war The rate of exchange makes
these books prohibtive in Central
Europe. Lord Bryce, the American
and other prominent men
have given their approval and the re-
sponse thus far in Oxford and Cam
bridge has been remarkable and very
gratifying l shall be busy with the
preliminary arrangements till April %,

COLLEGE NEWSPAPER
ISSUE CONFISCATED

The Middlebury College Administra-
ton exercised its authority yesterday
in confscating an issue of "The Cam
pus", the weekly newspaper organ OF
the college and the student body, be-
cause the editor, Dwight L. Moody,
had included in its columns an editor
ial that Professor Charles B. Wright,
the faculty supervisor of the paper, had
directed him to omit.
The editorial was one dealing with
the so-called Lawrence controversy
the question as to whether the charge
made by DR. H. w. Lawrence that the
Trustees of the College forced his
recent resignation from the Middle
bury faculty is true or false The
Undergraduate Association, made up
of the men of the college, about a
month ago appointed a committee Of
eight to determine the facts and report
to the Association. The editorial which
Professor Wright directed should be
omitted from Yesterdays issue, and
which was nevertheless inserted, was
one which demanded an immediate re-
port from the investigating committee,
and set forth certain items of evidence
bearing on the case which it declared
should be made public in that report
Professor Wright as faculty supervs-
or of "The Campus" held that the
Lawrence controversy was in the hands
of a proper committee, regularly con-
stituted by the student body, and that
the editor of "The Campus" had no
call to declare in its columns either
when the committee should make its
report or what the report should con-
tain.
