wrong with the vessels ahead.

"The most intelligent girl in Indiana"
Miss Cecille Robinson, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Robinson, 41O S.
West ST., is much amused when she
hears the title.
Being as unassuming as she is re-
puted to be intelligent, she does not
see why all the fuss Is made over
her.
Miss Robinson earned the title when
she made the highest grades in the
State in a test conducted at all col
Ieges by the State board of education.
She was at Franklin College. She
took the test, in psychology, literature,
mathematics and history, including
the Simon-Binet intelligence tests, in
the summer of 1922, but only re-

For years sentiment over-ruled

She had not removed it since 1t was

Although her finger was inflamed by
the pressure of the too-small band,

the pain became too great to bear.
Only silver still is cherished in its
original form as an heirloom, John

But with jewels, style is winning
