THEfTENANTLESS HEART.

When young she believed in the God

And her thoughts were filled with
Love and Romance.
She read Romeo and Juliet, Abelard
and HelOiee,
And used every art In her efforts to
please.
But Sir Galihad and Prince Charm
Ing or an eligible lover
seemed to pereistently avoid her and
keep under cover.
The one faithful male devoted TO her
more every day
Was Old Father Time, to whom she
couldn't say nay.
Until finally he got her with thin
silver crown,
Although his constant attention caused
her, to frOwn,
She bObbed her hair In rebellion and
painted her cheeks,
But Time placed her In the Museum
OF Freaks.
30 she lived and she died, DursuinR

She might have been happy with

Wander through life, with o vacant

Educational Officials Here

Immoral living among young
college girls and boys in Boston,
together with habitual orgies Of
drinking and gambling, found to
exist by an intercollegiate COM
mittee consisting of students and
faculty members from five lead
ing colleges in the Boston dis
trict, today caused heads Of
Washington's educational institu-
tons to launch private investiga-
tions with the view Of satisfying
themselves that no such condi-
tions are prevalent in this city.
Some Vice Admitted.
While all Of the officials in the
seals of learning in the National
Capital are firm In the belief that
no such startling vice conditions
can be found to exist among the
student body here, as is the case
Of Boston, 1t is also generally adj

there Is no drinking at any of

say about the Boston reports:

Educational LEADERS from more

America, in the Capital for the

Notices Explain
To Tourists Plan
For Protection of
Maine Corn Area

Notices have been printed by the
Department of Agriculture to be
presented to automobilists entering
the State at the Maine-New Hamp-
shire line, explaining the regulations
adopted by Federal and State au-
thorities for the control and exclu-
sion of the European corn borer.
These notices give the tourists the
following information as to why they
are detained:
1.-THE European corn borer, a dan
gerous and destructive insect pest,
has obtained firm foothold in some
parts of New England, particularly
eastern Massachusetts, and is grad
uallv spreading towards the canning
area in Maine, where we believe the
finest sweet corn in the world is
packed.
I'm order to retard the spread of
the insect into Maine in so far as
may be possible. we have deemed II
necessary to prohibit the entry of all
corn and dahlias, originating in the
infested area outside of the State,
since these products are known to
be the most dangerous carriers OF
infestation, and in order to make
this quarantine effective we must
momentarily detain and inspect all
vehicles entering the State from the
direction of the heavily infested ter
ritory. We are attempting to make
your delay as brief and of as little
inconvenience as possible and the
cooperation given us by the travel
ling public in this and former sea-
sons is greatly appreciated.
"The Department of Agriculture
proffers its services in any capacity
