PRINCESS FALLS
 TO HER DEATH
 IN MAINE HILLS
Former Chicago Woman Catapults Down 1000
 Foot Cliff
(By Associated Press.) ]

KINEO, Maine, Sept. 14.-Princess Radziwill, formerly Miss Helen Simp- son of Chicago, was killed yesterday when she fell more than 1000 feet over a cliff on the north slope of Mount Kineo. Her body lodged in trees part way down and was recovered with diff fieulty.
 The princess had lest valuable ring on the mountain sometime previously. With her brother it is understood she was searching for it when the earth gave way on the edge of the cliff. / The princess, whose husband was Prince Ladislas Radziwill and whose home since the death of her husband had been made in Chicago, was be- lieved to have died almost instantly when she fell.
 It was said at the hotel today, where the family has ben stayieng, that the ring lost held a valuable diamond and that Princess Radziwill and her brother, Stanley B. Simpson, had gone to the mountain, nearly two miles from the hotel, to search for it. They were at a point just north of the cliff proper on Mount Kineo when she lost her footing.
 The cliff at that point is almost per pendicular and she fell approximately 1000 feet where her body was found lodged in a tree. It was necessary to lower her body to the shore of Moose head Lake, some 600 feet below the cliff. From there boat conveyed the body back to this village. The body will be accompanied from here to Bos- ton tomorrow morning. The Princess Radziwill was the daughter of Dr. E. K. Simpson of Chicago and was about 26 years old, it was said.

DR. STUART RAPS FALSE THEORIES
 IN UNIVERSITIES
Methodist Pastor Warns Against Pitfalls Of
 Immortality

Emphasizing the pitfalls of i'm morality" in great American universi- ties and the dangers of superman theories" Dr. George R. Stuart de- livered a message applicable to pros peetive college students at the First Methodist church Sunday night.
 Despite the precariousness of the modern structure of higher education and the tendency toward sham" and "hypocrisies" Dr. Stuart declared that a college course is worth the chance.
 After all," he stated. 'it is not so much the form of education as the man, and no matter how brilliant q person is, how well educated he has become, how many languages he speaks or how many arts he understands, il he is fundamentally immoral, he is hsaslekl fer the slnlnss II hss real basis of education, whether the man has ob. tained it from a university or the school of hard knocks, is morality.
 "There is no doubt but that the forms of modern education are chang ing. Modern education in the uniyersi- ties is taking on the coat of sham that is predOminating everywhere Tn thls age. The standards are constantly be- ing lowered on account of athletics. Stressing the physical rather than the mental in the student attitude of col lege is serving to lower the product of colleges and finally the type of men that populate the world.
 Although college may present dangers to the boy, they are not nearly so overpowering and weakening as those that attack the boy who is not in college. The college boy has many things to divert his mind, but the boy in business has not. There are dangers in college life, however, and they are breaking the home tie, making the student victim to gang spirit, wrong companionship, and the danger of sink ing to false superman theories of philosophy.
 "There is no use of abolishing col leges because they present dangers. The benefits, the real culture and appre- citation of the finer things of life, so overpower the bad results that college will never sink to an unimportant place in the world of American life"
