STUDENT, MURDERED

Cleveland, O., Feb. 1.-THE bodies
Of Miss Louise Wolfe and Miss Mabel
Foote, Parma Heights High School
teachers, were found on Dean Road in
Parma township, few miles south of
here this morning. The two school
teachers had been beaten to death with
a stick Of timber.
The two school teachers were last
seen leaving the school building late
Wednesday afternoon. They walked
toward State Road across Dean Road
to board a trolley car for their homes
in Brooklyn. School children on their
way to school this morning found the
mutilated bodies lying in the road
way. A bloody plank lay nearby.
Part Of the women's clothing had been
torn from their bodies and there were
signs OF a desperate struggle IN the
snow. Police believe the teachers
were on their way to board a trolley
car for home when killed.
Miss Wolfe, who was 81 years old,
was the principal Of the high school.
teaching there the past three years.
She graduated from Ohio State Uni
versity and came 10 Cleveland in

schools Of Ohio when she was eight
years old and for several years after.
While in Berea she served as stem
ographsr to Professor Cook. who was
then editor Of The Citizen. It was
with great SORROW that the older Be-

Banana FslIscy.

II Is the popular idea that bananas
are far richer In nutriment than any
other sort Of fruit. and II has even
been said that one could maintain life
on bananas alone. Now. as a matter
Of fact. bananas are not so very much
more nourishing than any other fruit.
At the present price We have to pay
they are less valuable as a food. Ac-
c0rding TO a table on the comparative
cost OF total nutrients and energy In
fruits published a year ago-and
bananas are more expensive now than
then-you can get 1,467 calories OF
energy for ten cents when you buy
apples and only 429 when you buy ba-
nanas, and for ten cents you get al
most as much carbohydrates, or sugar.
In apples as In bananas. So much for
the banana fallacy.

ANTI.TOBACCO LEAGUE


In spite Of the cold and snow Sun
day afternoon, the attendance at the
Anti-Tobacco League was as large as
usual. The membership Is growing
steadily, and IL Is expected that the
roll will register one hundred before
long.
Sundays program was one Of the
most enjoyable that has been given
by the League. The original dialog
entitled "Uncle Bills Defense Of To-
bacco," given by Ed Congleton and
Burton Johnson. was very entertain.
ing and instructive. Congleton, as
Bill Brown, man Of about seventy
five years, defended tobacco with
every argument worthy Of mention
that has ever been invented by the
pro-tobacco people. Burton Johnson, as
a young man just back from college,
answered all of these arguments in a
most convincing way and gave con-
elusive proof that there was not one
valid argument in favor Of tobacco.
In addition to the dialog, Miss Mae
Locke gave an interesting poem on
tobacco.
The League is happy to welcome
Miss Thelma Riddle back to Berea
and to the League. Last year Miss
Riddle was one of the most enthusi.
astic League members, and after
leaving Berea last spring was sue
cessful in carrying out some splendid
anti-tobacco work in her home town
in Virginia.
The next meeting of the Anti-To-
bacco League will be held, Sunday
afternoon, March 6. Those who ex-
pect to ally themselves with this
movement, sometime, will profit great
ly by getting into it now and receiv-
ing the benefits which the League
affords its members. Visitors are al
ways welcome.

One Of the few specimens OF horn
books still in existence has the al
phabet In large and small letters, the
vowels and consonants. the Lords
Prayer and the Roman numerals. The
first line in horn books was always
known as the cross line. as a picture
Of the cross ended II, symbolic Of the
theory that the end Of learning Is piety.
The horn books were generally about
nine inches long and Ave inches wide.
One OF the reasons for their disappear
ance is that they formed handy weap-
ons In school-boy disputes, and even
oak boards break when brought into

In the Days Of Nero

In the Days OF Nero
When Nero was ruler Of the Ro-
man Empire in the middle Of the first
century, AID, he disgraced the throne
and made the Romans loathe his very
name. II was not only that Nero
had his half-brother, his mother and
his faithful councillors murdered; II
was not only that he was suspected Of
causing the great fire Of Rome. and
then laid the blame upon the Chris
tians, burning them as torches and
throwing them TO the wild beasts in
the arena; II was not only that re
wasted the governments money upon
the Golden House, colossal palace
luxurious beyond anything that Rome
had ever known; but, to cap the eli
max, Nero outraged Roman dignity
and disgraced the royal purple b.
giving vaudeville entertainments 10
show his skill in singing, playing the
Tyre, and dancing! At first he per
formed in Italy, where he received
cold response, except from his hired
applauders, and later in Greece, where
fawning subjects heaped praise and
honor upon him for his performance.
regardless Of its scanty merits. At
last the Roman Senate could endure
his follies no longer and accordingly
declared him a public enemy. where
upon Nero, like a coward, committed
suicide to escape from the hands Of
the soldiers sent against him.
After Nero
The death of Nero only made mat
tiers worse, for there was no legal
way provided for appointing a new
emperor, and so the throne was left
n prey to ambitious adventures. The
Senate was supposed to be the gov
erning power Of Rome, but II stood
in mortal terror Of the army and re-
NAMED inactive. During the year
following Nero's death three Roman
generals, one after another, were put
upon the throne by their respective
armies, only TO be killed by the next
army which came 10 seize the prize
Of the throne. Then at the close Of
this dark year Of revolution. the bluff
old general Vespasian, commander Of
the Roman legions in the east. was
made emperor by his soldiers. He
speedily brought an end TO the shame
full strife and restored order and good
government TO the great empire.
vespasian Before Becoming Emperor
Vespasian was very different from
Nero and the emperors before Nero.
They had been brought up in the cor
rupt imperial court, learning every
imaginable vice in their early youth
and devoting all their energies to
pleasure. Vespasian had been reared
in the Sabine hill-country. In a plain
family with plain, common ways and
decent, regular habits Of life. When
he grew to manhood, although he
held some high political Offices, he
found the life Of the camp far better
suited to his taste than the luxurious,
demoralizing life Of the great capital.
where extravaganza, vice, and pleas
ure ran riot. He served with credit
as a military officer in Germany. in
Britain, and in North Africa, and a.
the time Of Nero's death he was con-
Quoting a campaign in Palestine
against the Jews, who had broken out
in rebellion once more. Vespasian
was at this time sixty years old, a
trusty and tried general Of the fine
old Roman type.
