MANY WOMEN ARE
TAKING COURSE
in REAL ESTATE

That women are more and more
entering the field of redi estate
is indicated by the fact that firteeh
per cent of the students registered
for the correspondence course IN real
estate offered by the University OF
Southern California, 1906 Transpor-
tation building, Los Angeles.
"Women are exceptionally Keen
students,' says Mrs. Sara III. Van
Duscn, head Of the correspondence
study department. "Thelr interest
in details leads them to thorough

Then they go hide in what they call

INDUSTRIAL SUICIDE

There is to be federal action, apparently in
the hard coal strike. The operators and miners are to
be allowed TO fight themselves with the weapons
of debate and starvation.
That is fair enough, perhaps. AS far as the gen
eral public can see the two parties concerned were
about equally responsible for shutting down the mines
and have about equally good cases, and suffer about
equally from the strike, in loss of present wages and
dividends and protracted loss of good market
The two groups be allowed to fight il out in
TINS suicidal way because hard coal is not absolutely
essential There is an ample supply Of soft coal to
take It's place Many inconvenienced but there
Is no serious deprivation.
1t might be good thing if there were oftener a
perfectly good substitute available when particular
industry started civil Of its own regardless Of
publlc interest There would be fewer strikes and
ioeh-outs then They would all learn a lesson as the

SUZANNE CANNOT BE BLAMED

Suzanne Lenglen, noted French tennis star, has had enough of nothing but glory"
 Having functioned as amateur champion, giving us a great show of the game at Wimbledon, she has surprised the public by announcing she would turn professional.
 And she is entirely justified in such action.
 If Suzanne is not permitted 10 earn even a reasonable amount of money in spite of her great attain ments as a tennis star, then some thing is wrong with the system un- der which she has been operating, not with Suzanne.
 The circumstances differ consid- erably from the late turn to pro- fessionalism by Red Grange, foot ball star. Grange was in college at the time and deliberately threw overheard his education in favor of making football a business.
 In the case of Suzanne she throws nothing overheard except her status as an amateur player. But, having become a professional, she will now be compelled to keep her appointments with greater con- sistency than heretofore.
 Her declaration that she has ob- tained no money, not even indirect ly, as a result of her playing, will surprise many who thought q great amateur tennis player would be able to make a few fat fees, if only as "expense money"
 The claim of Suzanne that cer- tain other tennis amateurs of high rank will soon become professionals is an ominous hint that things are not as they ought to be in the sys- tenn under which amateur tennis has been conducted.
 The golf situation is better. Bob by Jones has obtained at least more than empty glory.

Meriden Woman Takento
 Hospital Following Crash

Meriden, Conn.,, Aug. 4 Pl-Fol- lowing an automobile crash here last night, Mrs. Fred Kiett, s5, of IT North First street, Meriden, was taken to the Meriden hospital. She was a passenger in a car driven by her husband which collided with another driven by Anthony Arri- goni, 20, of Durham, who was also injured. Mir. Klett escaped unhurt.
 The two cars came together al- most head on in Durham, as Arri- goni was coming out of his drive way into the main highway. Each was badly damaged, the Klett car overturning and throwing Mrs. Klett into the windshield, where she was pinned down in the wreckage.
 Mrs. Klett has several cuts about the head and face but the extent of her injuries could not be deter mined until an X-ray was taken. Arrigoni was taken to his hops, where it was reported he was suf- fering internal injuries. State police from Centerbrook barracks investi- gated the accident but no arrests were made.
