A year ago the Triangle A. c.,
the only independent junior girls
organization in the city. died sad
death because the athletic facilities
were not in accord with the de-
sires of the members.
The girls wanted a gymnasium
for basketball games, regular dips
In the pool. bowling teams. hikes,
roller skating. hockey and horse
back riding. In other words, they
wanted to do the things that the
senior organizations in the city
were doing. They could hold their
own with any number of the senior
athletes IN the city when 1t came
to athletic prowess, but when it
came to measuring up N a finan-
ciaI way, the school kids were just
naturally out of the running.
Things could not be run on such
large scale and the club dis
banded.
Since then, the members have
all drifted apart, but tonight they
will meet together again to lis
ten to q very pleasing plan, pre-
scented to them by Miss "Peg"
Cole, president OF the MetrOpOli-
tan A. G. These young athletes
now have q chance to get all the
things for which they hoped
vainly year ago.
The Metropolitan A c., is willing
to don. the red knickers and pull
the Santa Claus" act If the girls
will only hang their stockings up
at the NJ. A. c. fireplace. It is
the desire of the NJ. A c. to give
these girls that which would other
wise be out of the question for
them to have. and in doing so
assure themselves Of brilliant
future by having these promising
and already recognized basketball
and track stars carry the Metro
colors to victories.

 The Prcsbytcry, by its action yes- tcrday, is following q precedent set by the Presbyterian General Assem- ply in refusing 10 allow Dr. Harry Emerson I'osdick, Baptist, to preach in Presbyterian churches unless he conformed to Presbyterian doctrine.
 The Newark examining committee admitted Mir. Clee in February by a three to one vote and was sustained by the Prcsbytery 2l to 17. The mi nority appealed to the New Jersey synod which automatically held up Mr. Clee's installation to the Second Presbyterian church last Sunday.
 Friends of Mir. Cleo say there is little chance that MT, Clce will change his earlier attitude on doc. trinal question.

OLD "DADDY L0NGLEGS"
REVERSES INSECT HABITS
Lives as Grub During Summer, But
Becomes Active Adult in Zero
Weather.

Summer Is the season of greatest
activity of most insects, but the crane
fly, familiar by the name Of daddy
longlegs, reverses the usual ha bit of
insects by living in Summer as a
grub or larva under decaying leaves
and becoming an active adult in the
coolest part of the year. From
december to March, even when the
weather is below zero, is the favorite
season for the crane fly. A sudden
fall in temperature accompanied by
snow often occasions the appearance
of large numbers of these wingless
insects which may be seen walking
rapidly across the surface of the
snow.
The scorpion fly, resembling a
young grasshOper in appearance.
which, strangely enough. belongs to
an entirely different group of insects.
has similar habits to the crane fly.
Crane flies in the mature stage are
very sensitive to warmth and II con-
fined to a warm room or even If held
in the palm of the hand for few
minutes they will die. Although
many people are afraid to touch them
the adult crane flies are perfectly
harmless, but in their larval stage
they are fearful pests. The larva
of the flies live just below the sur
face of the ground during the warmer
months of the year and are very
destructive to the tender roots of
plants and grasses. Acres of grass
are destroyed every year by these
larva and sometimes parks are so
infested with them that shrubs and
grasses alike suffer greatly, If not
entirely destroyed. by their presence.

Capt. Cochrane was assigned in the
Spring Of 1921 to take the Bear on her

stations Of the North, and he has
been conducting her farewell voyages
since then. But now plans are com

would be placed in the salmon carny-

pride was not to be lowered to that
extent. She will become training

There have been many stories told

Near his humble home stood a giant
oak tree, which he called his silent
