COLLEGE N GIRLS.

A college education for women, however dub
iously our grandparents may have looked on the need
and practicabiIity of such a'venture. is accepted by
fingers in the mind Of any of us the suspicion that for
girls a college education is not all to the good, We may
find some assurance TO the contrary in the opinions of
a woman educator who has made a study of what the
college girl of today reads, and who brings from this
survey q reassuring message.
The college girl who fell an easy prey TO popular
authors and matinee idols, who was presented to US on
the stage and in novels very much burlesqued as a
bundle of giggles wound round with strings Of fem
mine college slang, as incoherent as it was unintelli-
gible. this girl is becoming. IL she isn't already. ex-

FINISHING PROFITEERS.

For a long time now there has been much talk
about profteering in the necessities Of life. and there
have been demands that the %profteers he severely
punishd. When officials try to meet these demands
they find themselves seriously handicapped. Many
persons are quick to make charges Of profteering but
they are not willing TO back M their charges by
becoming witnesses for the government.
The Lever Act. under which prosecutions against
~profteers are brought, is in itself a somewhat indifer-
ert statement Of the powers given TO officials to reg
ulate profits. Some federal judges dismiss cases that
appear 10 the public TO be plain instances Of prohteer-
ing.
The public refused to buy sugar at the maximum
price fixed by the holders Of sugar and the price fell
to a much lower level. Only the demands Of the can
ming season sustained the market at present prices,
The same treatment in other cases of exorbitant prices
might have a similar effect.
The remedy fer profteering IS In the public.s
hands any time It chooses to use It.

President Wilson today completed
his reply to the Supreme Councils
note in the dispute over the Adriatic
settlement, and placed 1t in the hands
of Acting Secretary Of State Polk
for transmission to Europe.
The Presidents answer is under
stood t6 be brief and to the point.
He started work on It this morning,
debating it to a stenographer. and
the completed document was taken
to the State Department shortly be-
fore noon, 1t was learned at the
White House.
Handled Reply By Himself.
Wilson handled the reply entirely
without outside advice, so far as could
be ascertained. The speed with which
he formulated it recalled the rapidly
of exchange Of notes preceding the ar
mistice. The supreme councils COM
munication, which is understood to
have invited suggestions for the
President on settlement of the Fiume
problem, was delivered to him only
last evening.
Tho President, 1t was reported, had
decided not to make public the corre-
spondence between himself and the
supreme council until after the Adri-
