Carnegie Tech to
Adopt New System

The athletic plans of the Carnegie
Institute Of Technology will be crys-
talized ut a conference today. During
the past year, many expressions of dis
satisfaction with the old system, re-
suited III the adoption of some inoor
tant notifications in the general ath-
letlc policy, that were designed to as
sure a more vigorous and effective
pursuance of sports.
In this connection, it was decided,
to appoint graduate manager and a
director Of physical education, thus
emphasizing to greater extent, bota
inter collegiate and tpttra-IsollertEihs
athletics. The details, however, of
putting this plan into operation have
not YET been worked. This conference
was called with a view to completing
the formulation of these plans, in a
definite way. 1t is purposed, that the
devisions reached by this assemblage
will a saccurately as possible repre-
sent the sentiment OF all connected
with the Institution. To this end, in
vttutions have been sent to the heads
OF the Carnegie Clans in Akron, Buffa-
10, Chicago, Cleveland, Erie, Johns
town, Harrisburg, Detroit, New York,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and YounEs-
town. They will come to the school
to confer with the authorities and a
committee composed of representative
es from the faculty, the Varsity clan,
the Alumni Association, and the under
graduates.

$3.50 with increase CT 500 each year

diately. Anyone in the county is ell
gible.

Royal S. Copeland, New York Health
Commission when asked whether
the failure OF influenza 70 return this
winter was due to greater care, par
ticularly on the part OF women, in.

Women's Business.
Dorothy Mortimer, starring in
''Nightie Night" says DR.. Copeland
is right:
silk stockings, evening gowns, and
other women's fashions which have
been condemned from time to time
by so-called health experts, are no
more injurious to health than bobbed
hair or wrist watchesl
"Women's fashions ere women's
business. Women dress to be attrac-
tive, as they should. That's a WON.
ans business. Women will always
dress to make the best impression,
and Ii the style calls for silk stock
lngs and sleeveless gowns, you may
be sure they will wear them"
Thrown Into Ash Heap.
Commenting on the varying success
sion of women's styles tight corsets.
through high heels, which have come
under fire, from wells and cosmetics
to silk stockings, DIR. Copeland said:
During 80 years medical expert

regarding the dangers of women's
dSss thrown into the ash heap of dis
carded medical ideas. The city wom-
an with her silk stockings and flimsy
gown ordinarily lives longer than her
sister on the farm The dull monot-
ony of old-fashioned country life is
fatal to womankind. Insanity is far

CT the American Legion post at Hunt
inston. to stand patnloticaliy back OF
al men and measures aiming to up
bold Law and order. were presented
in the House Of Representatives to-
day by Congressman Harry C. Wood
yard.
Close to fifty leading West Virginia
Democrats were in Washington to at
tend tho national committee meet
ing Of their party, headed by Col.
John T McGraw OF Grafton, member
OF the committee from West Virginia.
All Of whom got to attend the twin
Jackson Day banquets, but some of
them dtdn't get seats at the fetsal
board. TCley heard the speaking, how
ever, and that was the main thing that
they ccme here for.
Governor John,n j. Cornwell was
present, and was one of the twelve
speakers on the program. Col. Clar-
once w. Watson did not put in an ap-
ipearance, however, which was great
disappointment to many of the lead
ers who had hoped that he would be
here and that some definite action
might be taken in conference, or a Sc
ries of conferences, looking to the
matter of getting out a candidate for
governor, e5 we'll as for the other
places on the state ticket, and the
congressional tickets. But there was
little, II anything done, along that
hne. There was an occasional men,
ton OF men who might be induced to
carry the party banner in West Vir-
GINA this 5ear, but it lacked interest
and serious purpose. If there was any,
thing that could, by q long stretch,
be termed serious talk along that line,
1t converged on the name of DR.. Cory
Hosg, Of Fayete county. He was once
state senator and in 1916 made a
creditable showing for the nomination
/, against John ]. Cornwell. other nam
es mentioned in the desultory gossip
were those of John B. Stephenson, of
Fairmont, and William c. McConaugh-
ey, both OF whom happen to be the
heads of large wholesale grocery bus
inesses. II -
Friends OF DR.. Hogg said that he is
IN no sense candidate for the nomin-
alton and probably didn't want it even
II 1t were promised him without any
trouble or expense. But they adtid
that they believed that he might be
prevailed on If drafted by the party.
Former Senator W. e. Chiffon and
his friends, who were we'll represent
ed at the gathering. as well as poll
ticians generally, were keenly inter
ested IN the answer made here by
Governor Cornwell to a question as
to whether or not he was candidate
for the three nominations with which
his name has, from time to time recent
ly, been associated by enthutlastic

ever been seen. In fact, in one scene,
that OF his escape from posse who

other story of re-run, Tom Moore,
