SELF-PR0TECTI0N HER AIN
College Girl Proves She Has Mind
by Care She Takes to Hide
the Fact.

1t is time for the college girl to
meet the charges heaped against her
She is called frivolous, empty-headed
and her appearance is considered
wrong in every detail Now she Is
driven to confess that 1t Is all done
for self-protectlon, writes Olga Owens
in Judge.
With mind as valuable as hers
the college girl Is not safe. In these
days of constant holdups and rob
berries, ruthless bandits are waiting at
every turn. How can she 90 abroad
proclalmlng to the world the vast
wealth Of knowledge that is hers2 OBJ
viously, she must disguise it.
Suppose she let's her hair grow
Pinned up on head already enlarged
by so much learning, she becomes so
conspicuous that she falls prey to the
first intellectual crook. SO she hobs
it. Suppose she wears long skirts. or
even n modest collegiate gown. Would
1t be surprising II some dark night she
Is held up, and at the point of pistol
made to reclte the whole of Homer's
"Iliad" to some desperate college pro-
fessor? SO to be doubly sure, she rolls
her stockings. Education Is con-
splcuous thing, and If the student ap-
plies little powder now and then to
cover up Its shining light upon her
face, she should not be condemned.
The desperate age In which we live
has made all this necessary.
SO 1t Is with admiration and pity
that we should regard her, bravely
adopting the latest styles, without
complaint. Not even the reformer
wears his pocketbook where 1t can be
seen. The college girl proves that she
has mind by hiding 1t.

FRIDAY

with hubby may mean more to his
happiness than the frenzled busting
of an immaculate house."
Another week passed as usual, to
the red letter day. They did not no
tice that Ma was dressed for the street,
an unusual thing at noon, on Satur-
day. She lowered about them, rest
less, unbusy fingers fairly aching to
tackle the dinner dishes. Jim, ST.,
put on his coat, fused a bit with the
clothes brush, mumbled careless
good-by and was off. He had not even
asked her to go along, and she sat
staring at the closed door, hot tears
Of disappointment trickling down her
cheeks. She had dreamed of what he
would say when she replied to his u.s.
ual question, "Sure I'll go; wait till l
get my hat" He hadn't even given
her q chance.
She wanted to sulk, and then she
thought Of the boylsh lonesomeness Of
her big, bashful husband and she
hurriedly slipped on her things, gave
whimsical glance at the dinner
dishes piled high, and set out.
Following the crowd, she landed at
the field and bought her ticket. She
had no idea which were considered
the best seats, but again she followed
the crowd out to the bleachers. She
tripped along as though always accus-
toned to this sort of thing, when, In
reality, her heart was pounding Wild
ly and she wanted only to sink into
corner somewhere. She glanced up
into the sea of faces. A man arose
suddenly, eyes wide, unbelleving rec
ognition. turning presently into In
credulous delight, MARY" he called
softly.
Unbounded relief shot through her,
and she smillngly wendell her way up
to his side.
She settled herself as though born
to football game, and smiled quiz
zically up into his astonished eyes,
Dozens Of pretty things, years unsaid
surged to his lips, but he only re-
marked eagerly as the players ran
confidently across the field: "There is
JImsey, Mary. He's in fine trim to-
day. Watch him practice, and he's
right there with the goods"
Mary smiled happily. Hes always
there with the goods" she repeated
softly. She knew nothing Of touch
downs, end runs, shifts and the what
not Of football game, but she did
know that she was not to be "penal-
ized' in the future, because she had
decided to play the game In the pres
ent." The game was on.

SUCCESS OF SILENT NINE"
BY Its Use Alrplane Passengers Are
Enabled Freely to Converse
With Each Other

A silent airplane engine has at last
been inyented.
In recent test the denfening roar
of the engine and exhaust was COM
pletely eliminated when fitted with
the "Sllent Nine" as the new lnven-
ton Is called.
Passengers will now be able to con-
verse with ease while In the air, and
not be forced to shoilt at the top of
their voices
The "Silent Nine" is very simple in
construction and in principle, says
London Answers. 1t consists of an
expansion chamber fitted to the end
of long exhaust pipe, and arranged
In such way that the gases from
the engine are cooled Immediately
they leave the red-hot exhaust hole
This Is the secret Of engine silence.
The inventor is Major Grant, the
superintendent Of the Croydon air
drome depot.
One "Silent Nine" can be sold at n
profit for less than f10 $500 and
already there is a great demand for It..

except, perhaps, an occasional movie.
And then the game was on, and for
the time being Crane, ST., forgot his
domestic troubles. The teams were
well matched, and fought gamely
through three scoreless quarters. The
final quarter started with a flourish,
and the visiting team plowed
through the local team for touch
down. They failed to kick the goal.
The score was six to nothing, and only
seven minutes left to play.
One, two three downs and then,
suddenly, out Of an apparently solid
mass, slid the slim figure Of Jim Crane.
The crowd arose to its feet as though
by signal. The visitors seemed dazed
at the turn Of affairs. One made n
frenzled grab at the boy, but 1t only
served to wrench his shoulder. The
ball remained coddled against his side.
Amid wild burst Of applause, Jlmsey
carried the ball back Of the line. One
moment remained in which the ball
was kicked over successfully, and the
score stood 7 to in favor Of the home
team. The whistle pealed shrllly.
They bore Jim home on stalwart
shoulders. Jim, Sr., heard them talk
Ing about his son all the way home,
but he alone, with a heart bursting
with pride, had no one to conflde In.
The supper table was merely an
alteration party composed Of Betty's
friends. One gay young miss turned
suddenly to Mrs. Crane and inquired
how she had liked the game Mrs.
Crane had laughed carelessly: "0h, I
never go, dear; too many things to do
at home"
The young lady In question stared
as only the modern young person can.
"You don't go? Why, mother never
misses game. Bert is only sub,
and Is seldom used, but ma says she
wants to be there when he does play.
She knows all about the game, and
can tell me a few things, believe me-"
Later on, when the family had dis
persed for the evening, Mrs. Crane
sat down and began, not to work on
the ever present embroidery, but to
think. She recalled an editorial she
had recently read. One sentence stood
out clearly: "To attend a ball game

VIRTUE MATTER OF LOCALITY
Standards Differ According to Wheth-

the Country.

In the great open spaces virtue is
more or less of local issue. The
man who gets drunk on q mountain
top offends nobody but himself. Here
In New York the neighbors hear about
IL.
All the tests of virtue are rigorous
for folk who live elbow to elbow with
nothing between them but partitions
Of little old last years wallpaper and
thin dab of plaster If the man In
the fiat next door, or the one under
meath, ever spoke Of us as a good man
1t would mean something. AS a mat
ter Of fact, he is not likely to do so,
because he thinks twelve o'clock is
late, and often annoys our guests by
rapping on the steampipes. However,
all this is irrelevant. II he gave us a
character It would be won In spite Of
the closest possible scrutiny. The
things which the neighbors think about
Farmer Jones are not half so impOr-
tant. He lives ten miles up the road
around the bend. At that distance
almost anybody might look good.
Perhaps he seems less amlable to
Mrs Jones, but nobody would think
Of asking a farmers wife for an
opinion about anything. Farmer Jones
Is under no necessity Of cultlvatlng man
ners, because he can be as rude as he
pleases, and 1t will pass for downright
native frankness. To his horses he Is
privileged to talk even more freely.
And speaking Of horses according to
our city standards, Farmer Jones
would very probably be set down, or
set up, as swindler In his commu-
nifty they merely laugh and call him
a shrewd man for horse tradlng.-TIey-

Playing the

1t was Saturday, the day of days to
the members of the Crane family. For
was not that the day when the local
high school team played football and
wasn't their Jim one of the stars on
said team? AS usual, Jim hurried of
directly after dinner to the athletic
field, with many admOnitions from
his mother not to get his neck broken,
and gay encouragement from his
father to "glve 'em couple of touch

through her dessert to join crowd

then Jim's father laid aside his news

Mrs. Crane, still In morning house

Where Becky Sharp Lived.

Careful students Of Thackeray have
been amused at the Identification Of
the house Of Becky Sharp with little
house near Shepherds market, little
house, with only one window on the
ground floor and an area. This Is
contrary to the generally accepted
house In Curzon street. II measures
four stories and BIT and, while It
is very narrow, as compared with Its
height, II has a certain distinction,
especially about the front door which
would no doubt, appeal to Becky. "A
very small, comfortable house in Cur
zOn street" was Thackeray's descrlp-
tion, and after that your true lover Of

Shrine Of Saint Anne at Quebec
 Afire, But Famous Statue Is Safe
Basilica Destroyed and Bremen Appear Unable to Save Monastery of the Redemptorist Fathers.

Quebec. March 2o.-Fire today de- stroyed the basilica of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, famous for it's shrine, but the statue of Ste. Anne, with the his torical relics 10 which miraculous cures have been ascribed, was saved.
 The flames which started in the sacrsty spread rapidly to the mon astery of the Redemptorist Fathers, to whose care the shrine had been en- trusted, and then to the basilica.
 Apparatus sent from this city to the grims in North America. was able To do little to check the blaze.
 Lose Over Million.
 Monastery officials estimated the property damage at $l,200,0O0. That greater toll of church relics was not taken was due to the heroic efforts of the brothers who risked their lives in saving what they could from the in- terior of the basilica.
 The fire, believed to have been started by a short circuit in the cleo tric wiring system of the sacristy in less than an hour drove the fathers from the building.
 A call for help dispatched to the Quebec fire department brought the chief of the brigade with an engine and a company of men on special train.
 Monastery Doomed.
 Meanwhile the flames spread to the l monastery and defied the efforts of n courageous little band of volunteer fire fighters.
 Seeing that the great basilca was in danger the brothers decided to re- move everything of value. Rev. Fath- CT Bruneau, at the risk of his life, sue ceeded in carrying out the precious relics and the statue of Ste. Anne. The flames soon attacked the bas ilica through the roof, which the fire l fighters could not reach with stream of water. Tn few moments the structure was ablaze from end to end Towers Collapse. Tn an incredibly short time. the tow 16o foot towers that comprised the facade of the cathedral crashed. The Quebeck f1remen on their ar rival did their utmost to save the structure, but they were handicapped by the fact that the local water works could not supply enough water for their engines.
 They were compelled to lay a line of hose three thousand feet long to the bank of the St. Lawrence, which was at low tide when the flames were at their height.
 The whole village for time was in terror. A time it seemed that de- Hruction faced the little community which lives for the most part from selling souvenirs 10 pilgrims during the summer. Just as the villagers had abandoned hope, the wind turned.
 The only part of the entire group of buildings connected with the bas. ilica which was saved was the old chapel which housed the shrine be- fore the church was erected. The statue of Ste. Anne will be removed to this chapel pending the reconstruc' ton of the basiica.
