Various Questions

To the Editor Of N'on,dr's Page:
Dear Madam have several dues-
tions to ask YOU What can n girl take
up In the University OF Pennsylvania
besides doctor, lawyer and high school
teacher?
What Is the correct weight of n girl
fourteen years of age, sixty-one inches?
Is 1t harmful TO your hair IL you make
cdr puffs out of your own hair that has
already come out? I do not desire to try
those In u store, because ] don't think
they arc good for your hair. yet I'd
like to have my hair stand out n little.
ONE WHO HAS WRITTEN TO YOU
MANY TIMES BEFORE.
The women's department of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania gives the same
courses as the mems department, so that
n girl can take up any OF the sciences
that she happens to like or understand.
Your age has nothing to do with your
weight, as this depends entirely upon
your height and general build. A girl
of sixty.one inches, or five feet one,
should weigh 1906.
It does not harm your hair to wear
these ear puffs occasionally, but wearing

Dear Cynthia-T should like your

came acquainted with two girls who are
very close friends and who room and
work together. I called on them and

and also their friends got the idea that
I preferred Miss A. and 7 was ac-
Cord!ngly always thrown in her com
pany. | tried in various ways to make
known my preference without offending
either but did not succeed. I am now
temporarily away from my home town
and since leaving ] wrote Miss B.. ex-
her to help me correct the impression
that II was her friend Miss a.. that |
was Interested in. She replied that she
could not do what | asked-that no
gentleman would ask 1t; also would !
please not write to her again I am at
4 loss 70 understand her view of the
matter. for while my letter may have
been clumsy, my intentions were honest
and honorable. Please tell me what !

Your method was rather tactless. II
would have been better to have writ.

Tells Why He Renounces
 Right to Million Legacy

many less to serve God There are great opportunities to do good. but they are in mems hearts. not in my check book. A preacher in the name of Christ said this s1.o00.0O0 should have been turned to good. He thinks that Gods work is paid for in dollars. Gods work will never be done until men see that this theory is untrue"
 MT. Garlands statement was made from hls home here, a former inn of stage coach days. The young man. who is 22 years of age, is living at the house with his wife and infant daugh- ter as the guest of his mother. Mrs. Marie Tudor Green. who supplies them with a maid and keeps their larder full He plans to go to work eventually. he said. but a year at liar yard college. which he left to get mar ried, and preparatory schooling in this country and In England fitted him for no work ready at hand. and he said he thought 1t would be spring before he found anything. His wife Joined with him In his renunciation of the million Garland said. His mother. although not holding the same views, has told him to do what he thought right.
 In another house on the estate lives James A. Garland. I'll, d brother of Charles Garland. who has accepted his share of his fathers estate, made larger by the fact that the mother of tho boys abandoned her rights in order
 to marry Francis c. Green after the death of her first husband. At liar
 ward college is Hamilton Garland. a third son. who lacks several months of reaching his majority. His brother Charles said today that he understood Hamilton also was considering refusal to take his share when he became of age. Their ideas on the subject were somewhat similar. he said. although the influences of education and en- vironment were not identical.
 Garland indicated that his refusal to take the money was not based on any question attached to the origin of the Garland fortune, saying he did not know from what source 1t was derived, but he believed 1t came down from his ! grandfather.

M|NG0 COUNTY IS DECLARED UNDER
 MILITARY CONTROL
Commander Issues ProcIama- ton Forbidding Public As- sembIy Except In Regular
 Iy Organized Churches
By Associated Prcss

williamson w Va, November B. Mingo county, where strike of miners has been in progress since last July. vas today declared by Governor John J. Cornwell to be under military regulation.
 Col. Herman Hall, commanding the pro visional battalion of federal troops, which arrived here Sunday from Camp Sherman issued e proclamation in which he forbade public assembly, except such meetings as might be held in regularly organized churches. Colonel Halls rroc- lamation prohibited also parades or dem onstrations against the authorities and stipulated that no persons other than of- ficers of the law and military would oe permitted to carry firearms or be in possession of explosives.
 All places of business. shops and thea tres were permitted to remain open. it stipulated, but the people generally were adrnonished to comply carefully with the military regulations and to pre- serve good order.
 Governor Cornwelfs proclamation stated that Mingo county was in stat~ Of nsurrection and the citizens were en- joined and commanded to disperse and retire to their homes and submit to tho law and the regularly constituted au- thorties.
 ITO the end that the law shall be ro- spected and that disorder shall cease. I have called upon the government of the United States for assistance. and unth further notice, the county of Mingo will be under the direct charge of the com rnandirg general of the Fifth army corps area, who has full power and authority to establish peace and order In said county by such means as he may deem best in the interest of good government and the laws of the land" the governors procl clamation read.
 The military authorities have taken over the duties imposed upon them un- der the declaration of martial law, but the civil authorities continue in their capacities as advisory bodies. 1t is un- derstood.
 The troops have been distributed through hout the district to guard the mines at strategic points with Colonel Halls headquarters in the courthouse as Williamson.

By Associated Press

Buzzards Bay, Mass. November D. Charles Garland. the young man who has renounced his right to a million James A. Garland, who was wealthy clubman and yatchsman of Boston, to- day made formal statement of his reasons for rejecting the money. His statement, he said. was due to the fact that the many reports of his failure to accept the legacy had failed prop erly to present his position.
 '1 refuse to accept the money be- cause it is not mine" was young Gar lands summary of his action. "A system which starves thousands while hundreds are stuffed condemns itself. A system which leaves sick woman helpless and offers its services to a healthy man condemns itself. It is such a system that offers me 31,000.- O00," he continued.
 Tt is blind to the simplest truth known to every child. the truth that the hungry should be fed and the naked clothed I have had to choose between the loss of private property and the law which is written in every human heart I chose the one which I believe to be true.'
 Garland, who has stated that he re- rOunceu ms cldim lO tHe $i,VVu,VVu Dc- cause he thought Christ would have done the same. continued:
 T could do no good with the money. It is the man who gives food to the hun gry who does good. not the dollars given in exchange fer the food. would be happy to be the man If had the food to give. but I cannot lena myself to handling the money that Is not mine even though the good that might be done is possibly great
 Many people have written to tell him what could be done with the money, he said. They seem almost proud to point out the power that l have in my hands. but 1t is the most piuful thing they could point to. You cannot serve God and Mammon.' So many people ready to serve the dollar means SC
