when questioned, "and naturally a

And what is the conclusion?
Can a girl successfully vamp her
way through college?
ut takes clever girl--a mighty
clever girl to put it across" the
university men agree. In fact, they
believe that if the coed studied her

Fair Co-eds Vamp Way
Through College Classes
Unhappy Professors Seek Preventives to Wiles of
Maidens Whose Prim Dress and Demeanor of
Class Room Are Transformed to Butterfly
Attire for Gay Night Whirls

Men have spent 1000 years in try.
ing to protect their hearts from the
Cleopatra-Salome style of vampire.
College professors assert that the
coed "vamp" seeking high grades
is more up-to-date and dangerous
than the breaker of the film
stories.
We think Cleopatra's methods
were crude. The college girl trying
to secure a diploma without study
has reduced "vamping" to an exact
science.
Your modern vamp disdains to use
such clumsy weapons as the lip stick,
the eyebrow pencil or the daring
hose" SO much talked about by re-
formers. Her method is much more
effective.
Sleekly- Cornbed Hair.
She wears the primmest OF sailor
hats, loW-heeled shoes and simply
cut dresses. Were it not for a naive
smudge of powder accentuating all
adorable retrouse nose her face
would be innocent of all cosmetics.
Her hair, sleekly combed back. ex-
poses the tiniest tip of the unfash-
ionable ear. Then-those glasses.
Almost invariably she wears tortoise
she'll glasses.
"A professor must carefully and
continually guard against being un-
duly influenced by the young lady
members of his classes" says DR.. F.
X. Kruger, Joslyn professor of po-
litical and social sciences at the Uni
versity of Omaha.
The professors know that the
vamp exists. Countless books OF
psychology have classified her, and
prescribed preventives for her
wiles. But professors are on ly hu-
man, and are subject to human in
fluences.
The Butterfly Student
In any college class you can find
a hashily dressed girl writing daint-
lily scented pink and lavender notes,
behind half open book. Her hair
is done up in the latest and most
bizzare style, and her clothing is
modelled after the latest revealing
gowns planned by the sensational
Paris designers.
She's the student.

my classes from whom | expected

all that. But | found that she was a
student, and knew her lessons every
day.
Sometimes girls of great brain
capacity will seem inattentive in
class. 1t is usually because they
have completed the lesson before the
slower students finish"
Appearances Deceitful.
"Appearances are deceitful," as
cording to the professor. The prim
looking young person seeming ly pay
ing the deepest attention to the pro-
fessor, may be thinking of some cpl
sode in her butterfly social life.
Feigned attention is easily secured.
The girl who does her lessons outside
of class, and thoroughly reviews the
subject, may be bored by class recita-
tons, or too tired to concentrate.
Faculty and students admit that the
coed-"My Lady of Classroom I'm
pressions," with the wide-eyed atten-
tive class-attitude, wins. Although
she may flip out a naughty powder
puff outside the school, and have
engagements seven evenings and
three afternoons in a week, she Sc
cures the attention of professors and
puts it over" on some of them.
The modern weapons for "vamp-
ing" are not silver armlets or dia-
mond tiaras, but tortoise shell
glasses. No one who has ever faced
battery of eight pairs of double
size Predetermined glasses, half
masking face angelic in its devotion
to the subject at hand, can fail to ap-
preciate the effectiveness of the new
weapon.
Outside of school the vamp may
discard all her 'battle attire" and
become a social butterfly. say Uni

Oysters Are Now Blamed
For Deaths From Typhoid

Paris, May 2S.-Oysters not only
are responsible for a very large per-

Drs, Courtois-Suffit and Bourgeois.
In study ranging over a period of

Unless the Irish LEADER Claim

drawn Llayd George SAYS
There Can Be No Conference

London, Sept. 19.-David Lloyd
George, the British premier, in a
telegram sent yesterday to Eamon De
Valera declared that unless the Irish
leaders claim to the right to meet
the British representatives as the
head of an independent, sovereign
state is withdrawn, conference with
the Sim Fein delegates is impossible.
The text of his telegram follows:
4 have received your telegram of
last night and observe it does not
modify the claim that your delegates
should meet us as representatives of
sovereign and independent state.
You made no such condition in
advance when you came to see me in
July. l invited you then to meet me,
in the words of my letter, as the chos-
en- leader of the great majority in
southern Ireland and you accepted
the invitation.
From the very outset of our con-
yersations 1 told you that we have
looked to Ireland to owe allegiance
10 the throne, and to make her fu-
ture as a member of the British COM
nionwealth That was the basis OF
our proposals, and we cannot alter it
"The status you now claim for
your delegates is in effect a repu-
I; diation of that basis. l am prepared
! to meet your delegates, as l met you
in July, in the capacity of the chosen
spokesmen for your people to discuss
the association of Ireland with the
British commonwealth.
| my colleagues and l cannot meet
them as representatives of severe
| ign and independent state without
disloyalty on our part to the throne
and the empire. l must therefore re-
peat that unless the second para.
graph of your letter of the 18th is
withdrawn, a conference between us
| is impossible"
