Mile Laval, just brought to trial on

mischievous missives. The rivalry of
two young women in a love affair is
supposed to have started the trouble.
The anonymous letters exposed the

SOLUTION OFFERED
FOR THE COMMUNITY
THEATER PROBLEM

Northampton, Mass. Dec. al
Something in the nature of a gentle-
mems agreement between motion pic
ture exhibitors n those interested
in the spoken drama is suggested as
a solution, of the community theater
problem by Samuel A.. Eliot, Jr.. as
sistant professor of English at Smith
college. Mr.. Eliot Is the author of
several one-act plays and a. active
in the community theater venture of
the Northampton Players, which at
tracted wide, attention a. few years
ago.
Expressing in a recent letter to the
Daily Hampshire Gazette a hope for
a revival OF a community repertory
company in Northampton, Mr.. Eliot
advanced the idea that a city of this
size-Northampton has a. population
OF 2~2,OO0--the amusement time OF
the municipal auditorium might
probably be divided equally between
the play and the movies.
1T seems CERTAIN he said, "that
the Academy of Music Is too large, OF
Northampton too small to support

Patronage Increases.
During the past year a million and

an increase OF nearly fifty, thousand
over the record established the year
before. This showed an increase OF
Approximately $4,000 over the visit
oB in .1915.''
Taking up in detail the several
parks, the report in part says:
Yellowstone park is reported ns
having had its most successful sea-
son. OF the 51.506 motorists coming in
their own cars. 10000 camped out in
the free public camp grounds with
their own equipment. The park trail
system was used by saddle horse par
ties more than ever before. Yellow
stone park probably offers the best
trout fishing in the country.
Sin spite of a severe winter the
park antelope herd was. the only one
to suffer much loss. This loss is re-
ported as having been largely made
up by births of KIDS during the sum-
MGR. The buffalo herd is increasing
so RAPIDLY that legislation is needed
authorizing the disposition of surplus
buffalo in order to keep the herd
within the winter feeding capacity OF
the hay ranch.
Travel into Yosemite park passed
the 100000 mark in spite OF the poor
! condition of the park roads. 1t would
seem that the time has now come

Jerseys College for Women

The New Jersey College for Women
is preparing TO graduate its first
class. Forty-two young women will
finish their courses. Strange to say,
New Jersey up to four years ago
had no college for women. Even Rut-

stricted to mon. Girls who wished a
collegiate education were obliged to

About ten years ago the Federated
Women's Club started campaign to
interest the state, and in April. 1913,
the trustees Of the State University
Of New Jersey passed d resolution to
establish college for women as
department of the university. A
building adjoining the State College
of Agriculture was leased, and fifty
four girls were at Cncc enrolled.
With q Bible and dictionary for
equipment the work was begun.
Much may be done with packing
boxes. as every woman knows.
The original college building waa
unhcated and under its lcaky ROOF

we're few fights with submarines

from $4,000 TO 400 900 men but many
of these lads never even pulled tho

navy was never modified It was never
organized The Administration never
permitted the navy to prepare for war.

The testimony at the Senate invest
cation proved all this The officers o.
the navy were powerless from 1913 to
1917. The statement that "the navy
was ready from stem to stern" was an
soIutely false.
FROM the day war was declared until
the armistice we had no fleet ready for
battle. Our ships were never brought
together. They were scattered over the
two oceans and from the Adriatjc to
the North Sea. The battle feet was
divided into three squadrons. II. was
