sophomore at the high school. tried TO
try out a new suit Of knickers to-day.
and tonight practically every girl in
the city knows that nothing but skirts
will be tolerated by the school system.
Miss Boyajian walked into the school
with a pair of the niftiest plaid knicker-
boekers that ever moved school prin-
cipal TO protest She was ushered al
most at once to the office OF Henry
Miller. principal. After Mr.. Miller had
recovered he told the girl that while
knickers were quite the thing on the
links the school was no putting green
and she'd better so home.
1t was learned from Prof. Bower that
Mr.. Miller was nothing if not discreet
in his talk on what may and may not
be worn in the classroom. He suggested.
Prof. Bowers explained, that IL wouldn't
be quite the thing for the boys to ap-
pear in tuxedo or clawhammer coats
nor for the girls to arrive in evening
gowns. Miss Boyajan said Certainly
not" and with that as a foundation Mr.
Miller has little difficulty in proving
that she would better swap comfort for

Dublin. March IL.
Many remarkable signs of the re-
ality marked the first st. Patr.ck's day
since Ireland took control of her own
affairs 1t was a national holiday and
services in Gaelic were held iii both
irish soldiers in Irish uniforms marched
to to worship. Many children. dressed
in the old Irish costumes, filled the
parks
Politics received a good share OF at
tention. especially the Collins meeting
in Skibbereen and De Vaiera's meet
ings in Waterford and Thnrles. Little
enthusiasm was manifest in the Re-
publican gatherings in Dublin. as the
sunshine sent most of the population
to Phoenix Park and to the sporting
contests.
Eamon de Valera, speaking at Water
ford, characterized the day as '.thc
saddest St Patrick's day for five
years" At Carrick on the SUR, en-
route to Thurles. he said that II the
treaty were accepted the Ilgnl TOT ITee-
dom would continue. and "the Irish
people. instead of fighting foreign sol
diers. would have to fight Irish soldiers
of an Irish Government set up by Irish
men,"
At Thurles a member of the Dali
Eireann administered an oath to the
crowd that the people should never con-
sent to be under the British King or
that Ireland should be a dominion of
the British Empire. but that the people
should in every way uphold the republic
of Ireland.
Mr.. Collins. at Skibbereen, sketched
the growing signs Of Irish control OF
their own affairs, since last St. Patrick s
day.

BAR EUROPE'S RABBLE,
SAYS LILLIAN RUSSELL
Home After Tour, She Urges
Less immigration.

Lillian Russell. who returned to the
United States yesterday after two
months passed in visiting the principal
cities of Europe. declared in the Ritz
Carlton last night that the United States
should declare a five year immigration
holiday She thinks such q suspension
of immigration is necessary in order to
protect American cities and towns
against an influx Of Europe's unde-
sirables.
Miss Russell. accompanied by her
husband. Alexander p. Moore. publisher
OF the Pittsburgh Leader, arrived on the
eAauitania. While in Europe. she said,
she made a special study Of the ques-
tion of immigration. which she considers
to be one Of the most serious problems
facing America. Data obtained from
American Ambassadors and Consuls, she
said. will be used in report she will
submit to the Secretary OF Labor.
Miss Russell found that only the
farmers Of Europe seem to be con-
tented. Those who are discontented
and who want to come TO America are
undesirables in their own countries. she
declared. II an immigration holiday
is not provided by Congress severe
physical tests should be imposed upon
immigrants, Miss Russell thought

France now only $1,000 persons are out
Of work.
Miss Russell bought no clothes while
abroad She thinks that the American
department stores. through their for
eign buyers, get the cream OF Partisan
creations, with the result that Americans
can buy better French goods here than
in France and buy them just as cheap
