THE OTHER SIDE OF TT.

Plenty and more has been said and
 written in criticism of girls of high
 school age today and their inability
 to do useful things-their disinclina-
 ton to study habits that will be of
 use in later life, All right; the
 critics are enjoying their day tre-
 mendously; do not deny them their
 pleasure.
 But the attention of such critics is called to a little news story Of yes- terday telling of the exhibition of sewing given by high school girls in the sewing room of the Vocational High school. There were over 2,0oo garments made by the young women of the various classes in the year just ending. And there were lot of house dresses among them. The work shows careful study as well as expert workmanship was done by the girls of the three classes in the High school and reflects much credit not only upon the instructress, Mrs. Idella K. Knapp, but upon the girls who gave their time and study to it.
 When so much criticism of the younger generation Is heard. the de- sire comes to emphasize the fact that, as in all other aspects of life, the workers, the less showy people. are often forgotten in criticism of the showy ones who are always in evil dence. The latter are considered to represent the whole class of young people, when they are but a small part of that class. The young peo- pie who have no thoughts except those pertaining to pleasure, are the ones who are seen most often and who are considered by the critical, types of the younger crowd as whole. They are not typical of that The ones who help at home unselfishly and who take their pleasures in a sensible way are In the ma ajority-but few stop to think of them while they see few of their bedecked sisters passing by. The generation is all right and | the fact should be emphasized in jus tice to that generation.

BLIND BUT ACCOMPLISHES
 SUCCESS IN HIGH SCHOOL
Hamden Girl. Sightless for Years, is Leader At Graduation--
 Wants to Be Teacher

New Haven, June 13.-Although
 she is entirely sightless, Viola Mary
 Jaenicke last night was graduated with other Hamden pupils of the eighth grade. And she was one of the high standing pupils of the Putnam avenue school, Whitneyville. Viola is
 10, the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Frederick Joenicke, of Quentin street, and never has had the advantage of good eyesight Nevertheless. she has finished her grammar school courte creditably and has also become pro- ficient musician.
 During most of her school life this girl has had to be taught to demon strate her ability orally because of her inability to see to write answers. In arithmetic she has had to do her sums 'in her head" and tell the re- suit to her teachers, which feat she Is said to perform with wonderful speed and exactness. At this study she is said by her teachers to excel many of her more fortunate school mates, But for her inability to trans cribe her thoughts she would have read one of the honor essays at last nights exercises.
 The girls sight failed early in her school life and since that time she has had to be led to and from school and last night 1t was necessary to guide her to the platform to receive her diploma.
 At the close of the last term of the school Viola had achieved an al- most perfect rating for the studies she was able to take writing and read- ing being the only ones she was not able to master with ease. She now Is ambitious to attend High school and later attempt the feat of becoming a teacher.

Police Raid Patrons
 Of Drinking Fountain

New York, June 1S.-East siaers promenading through parks In the vi- cinity of 2srd street were startled last night to see two patrol wagons clang up the street and unload squads of tluecoats who raided the vicinities of public drinking fountains.
 The police arrested 39 women and men who had purchased liquor from bootleggers and taken 1t to the park. All the drinkers arranged for seats near tho fountains from which few were able to lift themselves. Their method was to take 8 drink from a bottle and then dash to the fountain to put out the fire After three trips most of them couldn't get away from the fountains and didn't care.

FARMER purNAM's PHILOSOPHY

Dear Putnam:
/ have just read your article about
Red, my pet cockroach who departed
this life suddenly through an accident
for which was unfortunately, was re-
sponsible. thought you might be
interested in hearing something about
my experiences with this intelligent
insect. don't think he was very old.
Also / doubt the story about that At
Gibson cockroach being seventy-four
years old, II you have ever been in
Atchison you will understand why he
looked to be seventy-four, though he
might have been thirty years younger.
Now about Red. | hid to leave. the
homestead for two weeks one time
and just before left l opened up
new case of soda crackers. / always
tried to play square with Red and let
him have chance to eat without
having to steal, so set him up on the
cracker box and bid him goodbye.
Well when got back he was nowhere
sa Sieht hiut IL tit boA
wasn't empty!
Well sir. hunted high and low for
that bug and where do you think |
found him. Lying on his back with
legs sticking up at the side OF The
water pail. HIS was still alive and.
gasping for breath. He had evident
ly eaten the whole box OF crackers
without once stopping to drink and
when his mouth was finally SC parch-
ed that he had to hunt water. he lack.
ed the strength to climb the side OF
the slippery bucket.
I got some water down his thrca;
as quickly as could grab a teaspoon
and he revived Immediately. wish
you could have seen the tender look
that came into his hazel eyes. as
much as to say: Chuck old boy,
you've saved my life" He was Ger.
tainly smart for cockroach. even IL
he didn't have the age o5f the Atchi.
