value to our young men in training
them for citizenship, leadership and

Each member pledged herself to a
"never-ceasing fight against the pac-
fist, dcfeatist and radical individ-
uals and groups and to Support
the constitution of the United States
in all its provisions and principles
in order that we may hand down to
our children this priceless heritage

posterity"

Scholars Choose
to Carry Dynamite
to Their Classes

Washington, March ll.--LN Just
over the shock Of last weeks tragedy
when student killed himself with
revolver while his mother taught
an English class in the same build
ing, officials and students Of Central
high school have been thrown into
another state of excitement by a
group of five scholars who chose to
carry dynamite to their classes in
stead Of the usual pocket trifles.
Parents Of the youths, all fresh
men around IA years of age. as well
as school officials, and the other
1896 students attending Central,
were greatly relieved today, however,
when they learned that all of the
dynamite, claimed to have been found
during an exploration into the woods,
had been confiscated by police.
The last stick of the explosive was
recovered last night when q single
policeman raided the headquarters of
the group in a deserted frame build
ing. Anvil w. Miller, principal Of the
school, has conducted an investiga.
tion, but aside from notifying the
boys parents, he said he would take
no other action.
Police are conducting an inquiry
to determine how the dynamite came
to be buried under an old log in the
woods.

New Clothes Appeal
to Oriental Women

Tokyo, March l4.-(R-The kim

gether by Japanese women. but West
ern garb is becoming more popular
each year in the Orient, says Madame
Morban, a French modiste, employed
by the largest department store in
Tokyo to design modern gowns for
the native ladies.
"Shoes and short skirts were not
invented with an eye to the present
style Of Japanese architecture" cx-
plains Madame Morvan. 'The tiny
houses where one must sit upon the
floor on cushions make short skirts
impossible. The kimono is the only
serviceablc garment under the cir
cumstances. But the japanese are
building foreign style houses and the
more of these that are constructed the
more foreign style dresses will be
seen in Tokyo"
No Evening Dress Demand
Madame Morvan was surprised at
first to find there was no demand in
Tokyo for evening dresses, until she
learned that dancing was more or less
taboo in Japan and there was little
occasion for them. She has found
that afternoon and street dresses are
the most popular.
