ELINOR CLYN
 AR0USES IRE
 ENGLISH GIRLS

LONDON, Nov 1-Elinor Glyn IS in a fair way to become the object or considerable criticism from English women, if she isn't made the object of open warfare.
 All this foreboding trouble mounts up as the result of statement by the noted writer that English women are less beautiful than their American sisters.
 CT do not think. the English women look as attractive as they did," Mrs. Glyn stated on her return from Amer ica. "Somehow their heads do not seem to match their bodies. Perhaps it is owing to games.
 And so many young women seem to affect a sort of stoop. No doubt it looks very charming while they are on the right side of twenty-five, but I am afraid they will be very bad shape by the time they are forty. "Then the hands of many of these otherwise elegant young women! It may seem a trivial thing to mention, but I have been struck by the number whose hands are sort of aggressive red.
 q see distinctly pretty faces-more beautiful than in any other country and lovely complexions, but hands that are absolutely uncared for. In matters like these English girls do not seem to be so 'soignees' as are American. You never see an Amer ican girl with anything but the most beautiful white hands and carefully kept nails.
 "But I must say that English girls are not so much painted as are those of other countries"
 Having made this courageous state ment, Elinor Glyn is now sitting back waiting for the resultant explosion Of feminine wrath. The dark war clouds are gathering, and before long Elinor will undoubtedly have to face the wrath of her sex, and they say there is no wrath like that of a woman scorned.
 At least Mrs. Glyn will be forced to admit that her English sisters are faced with greater difficulties than are American women. Climatic condi- tions, for instance, make it impossible

PREACHING TRAMPS RETURN

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The preach ing pilgrims have returned to New York, giving evidence that the cold and snow of winter are not far off out in the districts where the soapbox Demostheneses left the torch of truth during the languid summer months.
 The preaching pilgrims, take note are the lads who seek to right the wrongs of the world through oratory They make the open street their church and a soapbox their pupit In summer months they seek the highways and byways of rustic re gions. In winter they shout their gos pei from the curbstones of the great cities.
 The soapboxes of the new season al ready have been set up in New York City, and the winter flood of oratory has been let loose.

MANY STUDENTS
 ARE SELF SUPPORTING

EUGENE, Ore, Nov. 1.-Over 60 per cent of the students attending the University of Oregon this year are self-supporting, according to a re- port made by the University Y. M. c. A. employment bureau. The re- port states that the number of men students working this year is greater than last year, many students having come to the campus during the latter part of August, over a month before the commencement of the fall term of the university, in order to take positions that were open at that time.
 Mrs. Charlotte R. Donnelly, secre- tary of the employment bureau, said that approximately four hundred let ters were sent out to the business men of Eugene, before the university opened it's fall term, asking them to cooperate with the bureau in secur- ing employment for students. She says that the response to these letters was good.
 "The aim of the bureau is tn fur nish men experienced and qualified to do the work to which they are as signed" said Mrs. Donnelly. "If the work done by students sent out by us is reported back to the bureau as hay ing been performed unsatisfactorily, we see that it is made right at once.' Many girls are also given work through the bureau, said Mrs. Don nelly. Plans have been made among the students for an association Of working girls. Frequent meetings will be held at which educational and entertainment programs will be pre- scented.

BLUE FOX TO WESTWARD

Captain A. B. Somerville is ex- hibting fine blue fox pelt as a specimen of the fox raised in the far North on Attu Island, says the Ketchikan Chronicle. He accounts for the thickness of the skin and the darker blue color by the fact that in that part of the country there is always a heavy fog. Captain Somer vile has sold his skins to Lampson Sons, London, for a good many years, and upon his request they returned this skin to him so that fur farmers of Southeastern Alaska might have an opportunity of seeing a specimen of the blue fox raised in another section of Alaska. This arrived on the Jefferson yesterday and was insured for $275 by Lamp son Sons.

NOT UP T0STANDARD
Individual Exploits Of Sensa-
tionaI Nature Were Fre-
quent During Season.

In n general sense. fielding was not
OF the high character that obtained
during many past seasons. However.
individual exploits OF the most sensa-
tlonal description were so frequent as
to be almost commonplace. These
brilliant fcats were greeted with gen
erous approval and they served to on
set the defects In play that were evil
dent 10 all students of the game.
The champions tied in fielding per-
ccntage with Chicago, with the fine
average of .975. In fact, New York
was first for excepting ono outfield
position the daily performances, In

good to excellent. The White Sox in
their second year OF rebuilding were
much better in the field. but still lack
skill in several places. Detroit owes
it's third place position TO the tre-
mendous Improvement attained I'm two
infield positions. while Philadelphia
and 81. Louis displayed stars In sta
tions that had been guarded in medic
ere fashion I'm recent previous years.
Taking tho various positions In de-
tail IL may be said that the most brill
liant work was done around first base
The catching also was most excellent
but the work of the outfieldcrs as a
whole was not equal to that OF some
formN years. though individuals here
and there displayed amazing skill
