HERE is PROOF
COLLEGE GIRLS
NOT SLACKERS

Baltimore, Md, November H.
Goucher college seniors have just
contrayerted to their own satisfac-
ton. the charge made by speakers
at the recent eugenist convention in
New York that the American college
girl is a slacker-that she is unwill-
ing to marry unless she can have
many comforts and Injuries.
referendum vote taken among
the lo3 seniors showed that they
were of the opinion that a couple
could marry safely and live in a
city on an income of s4s weekly.
One girl thought she could live
in comfort at about sl55 week.
while another, who evidently had
given the subject careful considera-
ton by making budget. said she
was willing to take chance at
$3.50. or $1,000 a year, II she had
child
Only six girls figured they would
need $4,000 a. year or over. twenty
four made estimates OF. $4,000. -Four
thought they might be able to strug-
gle along on $1,000.
One senior estimated 1t would cost
$4,000 a year in Washington or New
York but only $4,000, in middle west
ern cities. Another thought $1,000
would be needed IL she were the wire
of an army or navy officer.
Almost every one emphasized the
point that the success of the venture
would depend largely on economies
and good team work by husband ana
wife

ROCKS LARGERTHAN
SHIPS HURLED rom.
MOUTH OF VOLCANO
An American Correspondent,
Wrecked on Kamchatka
Shore, Sees and De-
ScribeS Eruption

Toxic. November 19.-Showers OF
rocks larger than ships were hurled
from raging volcano on KAN
chatka. where terrible and magnifi-
cent volcanic phenomenon occurred
in August, recalling the primitive
days OF the formation OF the earth.
After having been wrecked and
washed away on the shore of KAN
chatka. Frederick Mccormick, a we'll
known American newspaper corre-
spondent. witnessed the extraordi-
nary eruption.
In report to the Japan Adver-
tiser. Mr.. Mccormick says: ION ar
irving at Hakodate, in northern ia
pan, l heard from a fisherman of an
earthquake above Hokkaido and the
disappearance In the sea. September
s, of a part of the island of the
Kurile group. The earthquake ex-
tended from Hokkaido to the Aleu-
tians and was but a prolongation Of
the seismatic phenomena occurring
in Kamchatka, where l was wrecked
on the Kronotsky peninsula. Ten
udyS Ou InlltS 10 the SOulnt L
found myself at SemlachK. from
where l saw the magnificent erup-
ton of volcano Karimskaya. Above
a mountain ridge which lay between
we could see without the aid of
glasses the expulsion OF showers of
rocks, many of which must have
larger than ships, as they flew
through the sky in giant parabolas.
Only the flowcry crest of the erup-
ton was visible to us as 1t played
against the sky. The smoke col
umn. tilted southwark by the wind
reached upward thousands of feet,
and In two days the smoke cloud ex
tended 100 miles down the coast and
out to sea.
Then the wind shifted to the west
and the ship was sprinkled with vol
canic dust. There was a great roar
like the sound of an artillery battle,
and II was reported that the water
of Kronotsky bay had risen in tenn
perature 81 degrees. while magnetic
disturbances rendered the ships
compass unavoidable. Fearing a SUBJ
terranean sea wave. we put out IS
miles off the shore, and on Sep
TENDER recorded a, violent earth
quake which shook the ship. The
same was experienced at the Com
mandorsky Islands and Ust KAN
chatka.
There are few places where the
direct and positive force of nature
can be realized so intensely as in
this far away land. There are about
SO volcanoes in Kamchatka, of which
20 are active: there is no historian
to record their great doinss except
an astonished fisherman 1000 or
1.200 miles away. A geographical
expedition from Sweden intends to
announce next year the results of It's
scientific work in Kamchatka."

Washington, November 19.-Busi-
ness interests of the country already
have begun to adjust themselves to
the provisions of the new tax bill.
While they didn't get what they
wanted, apparently. they realize that
they have got the best they can rea-
sonably' expect and are shaping their
plans accordingly.
d The big element, uncertainty. is re-
showed. Industry knows now just
what it may expect in the way of tax
alton, and knowing that, is prepared
to shape its course accordingly. And
after all, the new tax measure does
reduce taxes. although not to the ex-
lend that the manufacturers and pro-
would. Also, so far as the maximum
surtax rate of so per cent is con-
cerned, that rate will not affect o
per cent of the corporations in the
country, anyhow, and the other 81
per cent are enabled to count, with
certainty. upon lower tax levies.
There is no reason, therefore, why
there should not be an acceleration of
Industry, now that the tax bill is out
of the way.

1t. has not been all health and art,
however. In addition to the milk

dustry. At about the same time, one
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers or
America, was guest of his union
in the Manhattan Opera house, where,
in speaking of his recent trip to Rus
STA, he said: Il have been asked to
give the personal thanks to you and
to every member of our organization

He added that the only stable gov
eminent in Europe today was in
soviet Russia. Comrade Hillman did
not. however, suggest that America
stop sending food to the glad and
care-free land of liberty, where life
is a semi-eternal strike.

where the proceedings will soon be-
gin to proceed. Incidentally it has
been rumored and not denied that Lou

gins with a Fan" This report has
been balanced by another rumor to
the effect that in her home town of
Melrose, Mass, Farrar's name was al

Recriminations, you see, have al

SLEEPING SICKNESS
VACCINE is TO BE
SOUGHT IN AFRICA

London, November 19.-An expedi-
ton formed by the Tropical Diseases
Prevention association will soon
leave to make the forst organized
attempt to investigate on the spot
the treatment of sleeping sickness,
as distinct from the question of the
mere transmission of cause of the
disease.
The expedition will be conducted
by four physicians and two veteri-
nary scientists and 1t is expected the
work will occupy two and half
years. 1t is sought to carry out the
work In different centers with the
sanction and support Of the govern
ments interested and 1t is hoped
that 1t will result in a general sys-
tenn Of vaccination whereby all indi-
viduals arriving in a danger zone
will be inoculated and so gradually

New York, November ls.-The state
of its sole is< the chief concern of
this town. Under the leadership OF
the longevity evangelists. banded to-
Sether as the American Public
Health association, New York is ex-
aiming its sole with renewed inter-

Nice little sharp pointed shoes with

every woman longs to see peepinS
from her own xtremities-have been
denounced with a fiery enthusiasm
which ought to shriveI their patent

Many dozen ills of the flesh may
apparently be traced to the dancing

ing boot has been responsible for

You know. You have been capable OF
murder yourself at the end of a high
heeled afternoon. And just as New
York has absorbed all this informal ton
along comes Elizabeth Doyle. Miss
Doyle is a trained nurse and she en-
tered the health exhibit as a confess
tsnt for the perfect feet honors. The
doctors in charge said they'd never
seen feet more nearly perfect than
Miss Doyle's and the catch comes in
the fact that Miss Doyle's IA ID
shoes were pumps with the highest
heels in town.
The Latest Slogan.
Living to be 100 is the newest
slogan. DIR. stephen Smith, who
founded the American Public Health
association half century ago, says
it's perfectly silly for peple die
before they reach the century mark.
Dr. Smith ought to know. for he is
80 years old himself and in vigorous
enough health. He does not smoke
or drink-not even tea or coffee
but lives principally on bread and
milk and walks one mile day. Any,
one who would like to live a century
on those terms is welcome to try it.
By the way, did somebody mention
race suicide? And surely there has
been some chatter this week about
tribute The sales tax which Leader
Mondell of the House said recently
might be utilized for that purpose, as
a sort of supertax, may not have to
be utilized.
Whether it will be revived depends
to some extent upon what comes out
of the arms conference. A big re-
duction in the naval and military ex-
penditures would leave free, for other
purposes, hundreds of millions now
going into the military establish
ment. Soldier bonus advocates are
turning to that possibility for relief
and as a way out of the enactment
of another revenue measure.
But whatever happens this seems
certain:
There will be no reduction for a
time from the tax rates provided by
the new revenue measure.
