noted RUSSIAN
HAD To PAINT
SIGNS
Artist Is Finally Rescued IN
New York, However, After
Many Adventures.

: NEW YORK, June 1S--A kindly
providence has rescued Eugene
Daunkel, creator Of the murals on
the walls OF the Imperial Opera
House in Petrograd, from painting
underwear signs on the billboards OF
New York.
Daunkel. officer in the ragged
army of Gen. Denilkine during the
futile effort to rout the Bolshevist
horde, arrived in the United States
ten days ago. With him came his
wife and a ten-year-old son.
They had drifted across Europe
until they had reached Athens and
scraped up enough money to come
to the United States.
The Russian soldierartist started
to find job. He saw on every side
great signs that some one must
have painted. So he applied at the
agencies where men are employed
for such work.
At first, impatient with his in.
ability to speak English, they turned
him down. And then he was told
he would get tryout.
But here the Russian Refugee Re
lief Society stepped in. An exhibit
ton was arranged at the Interna-
tional Institute, 121 Twenty-first
street. of sketches and oil paintings.
These are vivid things, with all
the color and mysticism OF the
East. Some are little works from
the Arabian Nights" 'One is a
gruesome portrayal of the execution
Of a maiden representing Russia.
Another is sketch Of Nine. Voro-
nozoff, a Russian singer.
Meanwhile Daunkel is working In
the art shop of Fifth avenue
dealer. It is possible he may make
good there. It is possible the ex-
hibition may attract orders for
portraits.
It is still possible that Daunkel
may be forced to paint the ladies
and gentlemen who stare down from
the corset and underwear advertise
ments that line the sidewalks Of
New York.

life and my greatest delight has
been in watching her develop"
Miss McCaleb said that feminine
education has not undergone any
radical changes during the first
few decades, nor has there been
any marked tendency to different
ate 1t from the work offered in
mems institutions. The required
courses for freshmen today are
about the same as they were
twenty years ago.
"Our girls have made good in
every form Of work they have at
tempted" Miss McCaleb declared.
"As opportunities come, they
adapt themselves to the new de-
mands. During recent years a
number have gone into merchan-
dising and training for executive
positions in department stores. The
past two years has seen a marked
return to the teaching profession
because Of the increase in salaries"
Though college-trained girls may
mary later than those who have
not had the advantages Of higher
education, they are much more
likely to make matrimony a success,
Miss McCaleb declared.

servation / have become convinced
that the college woman who marries
Is almost certain to be a happy
wife," the retiring dean stated.
"She Is old enough to know her
own mind, her judgment is so well
trained that she is far less likely
to make a mistake, the lessons in
efficiency that she has learned in
the class room serve her extremely
well in the home, and the fact that
she is practically always able to
earn a good living for herself elimi-
mates the likelihood Of marriage
merely for support.
Divorces among our alumnae. are
almost negligible, the proportion
being very far below the statistics
for the general population. Nor do
our graduates demand impossible
financial standards. Many of them
are doing their own work and TAX
ing complete personal care Of their
children. That they are genuinely
fond Of children is proved by the
fact that those with none Of their
own very frequently adopt them"
Referring to statistics published
some time ago, which showed that
so per cent of the graduates of
women's colleges remain unwcd,
Miss McCaleb stated that she is
very much inclined to doubt their
accuracy.
ut is quite possible that they
were drawn from records several
years old from which recent mar
riageS were omitted" Miss McCaleb
said. wedding announcements are
usually printed in the class bulle.

have made no efofrt to collaborate

from my personal acquaintance with
more than 5000 graduates, that an
overwhelming proportion of them
are happily married."

DISCOVERY Of

BUTTE, Mont, June 1S.-Butte
police today were trying to un-
ravel the mystery surrounding
discovery Of the skeleton Of a
woman in a lonely spot on the top
of the Continental Divide, six
miles east Of this city.
Clothing Remnants Found.
Remnants of clothing found with
the bones contained no marks by
which Identification might be made.

tanned a fully loaded revolver. A
note found close to the skeleton

If by chance I'm found. please
leave my body in this spot. Do
not take me out Of the mountains.

Police were following a theory
that the bones were those OF Mrs.
Doris Lacasse, who disappeared
more than two years ago. They
were also trying to locate C.. C.
Skidmore, who was taken into GUS
tody following the finding of Mrs.
Lacasse's trunk in his possession
shortly after the woman disap-
peared.
Police Suspect Murder.
Skidmore claimed at that time
that Mrs. Lacasse had turned her
trunk over to him as security for
a loan.
Despite the fact that the note
found near the woman's bones indi-
Gated suicide, police declared today
that they believe the woman was
murdered at some distant place.

Diplomatic Circles
Inclined to Believe
"SOunding Out" PROPOSAL

The State Department declined to
comment today on reports from
London that Great Britain was
sounding out" the United States
with respect to possible American
arbitration in the reparations dis
pute.
In diplomatic circles, however,
the reports were generally credited,
for 1T is known that for the last
six months there have been con-
slant interchanges of views between
London and Washington on the
reparations controversy.
The American Government here
tofore has resolutely set it's face
against any proposals looking to
American mediation in the Ruhr.
This policy was necessitated, Of
ficials said, by the hard boiled"
attitude of France.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June
1S.-"I do not believe that girls
should be clustered like nuns"
Miss Ella McCaleb, retiring dean
of one Of Americas most exclusive
schools for girls, Vassar College,
said today upon retiring from her
position after thirty-eight years
connection with the school. In
closing her career as an educator
the Vassar dean gave The Wash
ington Times her conclusions on
how modern girls should be reared.
Against Segregation.
"I think it is a mistake to place
their daughters in a woman's insti-
tuition and then send them to a
girls camp in summer" Miss Nc
Caleb continued. 1.-THE girls need
healthy normal association with
young men and It is up to their
families to see that during vaca-
tions II Is provided.
"In this age of apartment houses
and much training it is probably
harder for parents to create such
associations for their daughters. It
is their duty, however, to make the
effort, because girls in women's col
leges need the broadening effects
of masculine friendships. Though
one of the chief advantages. of such
colleges is the freedom from distra-
tons common to co-educational in
situations, the masculine element
should not be ruled out Of their
lives altogether.
Freedom Permitted.
Here at Vassar the chaperonage
requirements have been very much
relaxed during the past twenty
years. Then student received her
callers very stiffly in the drawing
room, now she is free to go on
walks with them or to get up group
picnics for boys and girls. There
are also certain approved inns near
the campus where she may go to
tea or dinner unchaperoned.
Despite all the criticism that
has been leveled at her, I have
tremendous faith in the modern

shows greater talent for academic
work than her predecessors and
accomplishes more because Of her

there seems TO be no doubt that Mr..
Tanney met his death by freezing.
William H. Tanney was a veteran
prospector and homesteader Of this
county and was very well known to
Gunnison county people. He had al
ways taken an active interest in the
affairs Of the county and in 1922 was
on the Democratic primary ticket for
commissioner against w. H. Whalen,
and received almost the solid vote Of
his home section. Judge Tanney for
years always called in Gunnison at

acting on Ehe jury and rs witness on

was q justice of the peace of the
North Fork for years.
As far as can be learned, he had

Editor ws-Champion:-
In the issue Of the Gunuison Empire
Of December sixth, was published Q
letter from State Budget and Effici-
eney Commissioner Ex-senator Harr,
Casaday, in which are set forth the
latter's charges against somebody con-
nected with the Colorado State Nor
NAL School for the period of 1922
approximately.
In reply to these comparatively de-
finite charges, ! beg to state few
facts, not SO much in self defense as
in defense of the men and women who
at that time constituted the Board of
Normal School Trustees.
In the fall Of 1919 the Colorado
State Normal School ut Gunnison
seemed to be passing thru the final
stages Of its existence and just about
to collapse. The enrolment for the
first quarter was less than sixty stud
ents; and with only the original Nor
NAL School building to accommodate
both the high school and the college
students, the prospects were meagre
for increasing the enrolment SO that
the school might be permitted 10 live
Everything was dark and discourage
ing. The president of the school, J.
H. Kelley, had resigned to take a
more promising appointment; the en-
rollment had been steadily decreasing
since 1916; the citizens Of the other
Western Slope towns held the Gunni-
son institution in contempt and felt
little disposition TO try to save It.
The Board Of Trustees met in July
1919 and let the contract for such
part of Central Hall rs the slowly
accumulating building fund seemed to
make possible. Il Is not likely that
any members Of the board quite realix-
ed the situation; and It Is quite inn

D, { R. 6, REORGANIZATION
OF GREAT MOMENT HERE

Northern Colorado to link the Grande
with the Burlington have availed no.
thing.
Speculation Immediately rises as to
the head men Of the Grande in case
the above consolidation goes through.
At present It is operated under a re-
ceiver in the U. S. courts, Judge J.
Foster Symss in authority and 7. E.
Beacon in charge. The policy of
these gentlemen has been a welcome
relief from former management, and
most people hope Mr.. Beacon will
continue as president. However, with
NJ. p. control, B. F. Bush, chairman Of
the Board of Directors Of that road
and Mr.. Baldwin, president, will un-
doubtedly have the say-so. A rail-
road man named Kelley, formerly
with the Grand Trunk and new to
Western roads, is said to be slated for
the presidency Of the Grande, while
James Russell will come back to a
position of importance. These prom
inent officials have been waiting
around railroad headquarters fol
some months, apparently marking
time for the situation to develop.
The recommendation of the special
committee on railroad consolidation of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
is. yet to make its report to Congress
and that may again change the COM
plexion of. the Rio Grande manage
ment. All these things are coming to
a head very shortly.
