LONG SKIRTS AGAIN
AT VASSAR? NEVER!
Twas Just a Joke When They
Appeared on Campus
for a Day.
EARS ARE COVERED TOO
And They'll Be Hidden From
View as Long as They
Are Elsewhere.
EARS ARE COVERED TOO

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
noccnt victim of unjust or absurd ru-
mors. Vassar College was really grossly
offended to-day by the circulation of a
perfectly ridiculous story that Vassar
and bring their ears out into the open.
Investigation on the campus quickly dis
closed the utter Stiffness of the rumor.
1t appears that member of the alum
nae happened to see Vassar girl who
merely happened to be wearing. for n
joke or something. one Of those curious
old fashioned garments that fell to the
anlSles-impossible, unhygienic affairs.
A students investigation is now for
ward to determine not merely the idcn-
tity Of the particular young woman
whose thoughtiessness (for 1t could have
been nothing more serious) was respon-
sible for the origin of the whole dis
tressng story.
Various surmises are offered to ac-
count for the apparent fact that the girl
In question was actually wearing skirt
which. truth demands, must honestly be
called long. 1t may have been in a
spirit of jest. Another guess is that
the skirt was to be cut down and that
1t was being "tried out" first. However,
II is recognized that the young woman's
conduct was indiscreet and the cause OF
talk which is manifestly annoying to
the students. The insinuation that Vas
sar girls are returning to the dust catch
ers and street sweepers of our grand
mothers day is Indignantly repelled. So
far as Vassar Is concerned, and Vassar
is always snMrtly up with the vogue
and apace with the mode, skirts will re-
main their present length. That was
agreeaby obvious yesterday as the
young women were on their way from
dormtories to the skating ponds.
The insinuation concerning ears an
noycd vassar considerably but was not
taken so seriously as the baseless story
about heightened skirts. 1t is a matter
of plain fact that nobody has seen
Vassar girls ears for two years, and
unless the style changes 1t Will be an
other two years before even the pinky
tip of a Vassar ear is disclosed to the
appreciative gaze of the world. Vas5ar
intends to keep its ears under cover
well hidden by the fluffy hair OF what
ever shade that falls to The right and
left or is tucked almost bobbedwise in
graceful puffs at each side of the head
one girl explained the whole episode
by saying that several of her college
mates appeared one afternoon recently
on the campus dressed in the style Of
the nneties, and that they attired them
selves thus absurdly to show certain
"old maids" what they would look like
IL compelled to dress regularly in the
abandoned. outlandish style.
"In the evening. by way of contrast,
she said, "the same girls put on their
most UP to date, ultra modern things.
short skirts, silk stockings. satin pumps
and all the rest. They desired by doing
this to emphasize how ugly and dis
agreeable the old fashioned clothing
was"

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF
TIMBER LAND URGED
Pulp and Paper Men Submit
Report by Committee.

Public ownership of timber lands was
favored in report submitted yesterday
TO the American Paper and Pulp Associ-
alton, meeting in the Waldorf, by the
committee of forest preservation. Sur
voys OF all forest lands, improved fire
pi otection and encouragement to owners
of forest lands who wish to grow timber
also were urged. The committee con-
sists OF Frank l.. Moore of Watertown,
ID A. Crocker, w. II. Haskell and r. S.
Kellogg of this city and c. II. Worcester
OF Chicago.
Ono of the recommendations was that
in case timber land owners show no dis
position to grow timber the lands should
be taken over by the Government and
made part OF the national forests. The
original forest area of S50,000.oo0 acres
has been reduced to 550,0OO,00o acres, it
was stated.
