Modern Science Overturns
 Many Old Time Theories

New York. Jan. 14 P(-Modern scientific investigation and inter pretation are completely overturn- ing" many notions hitherto firmly held as to the structure of the ma terial universe, in the belief of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University.
 An instance of this, Dr. Butler said yesterday. is a recent contri- button by Professor Michael I. Pu- pin of Columbia. Dr. Butler in speaking of Professor Pupin's con- tribution at a dinner of the Phi Delta Kappa honorary fraternity last night, said it was an entirely new theory of light and the uni verse. Although Dr. Butler did not dwell on the theory. he said it was most extraordinary" and when he had heard it he felt as though the curtain was going up on new as- pect of the universe"
 Commenting today on published reports of his remarks, many of which interpreted the Pupin theory as one on life" Dr. Butler said he had spoken ''of the beauty and novelty Of Professor Lupin's exposi- tion and in particular of what pro- lessor then said as to the possibility of new theory of light; that was all there was to it."

San Francisco, Jan. 14.-Modern college youths. when thinking in terms of matrimony, prefer old fashioned girls. The flapper may be a satisfactory good time com- panion," but as a prospective wife she is only seven per center"
 This, at least, was demonstrated yesterday in a vote of 2S4 male stu- dents of the University of Santa Clara, south of here.
 In a questionnaire distributed by a student publication, the men were asked to state their preferences of types of girls for marriage purposes. The tabulation showed 2S4 students out of 300 filled out the blanks, with the following results:
 Preference expressed for fappers. per sent: for medium hammered girls" IS per cent; for old-fashioned girls, 64 per cent; undecided, IA per cent.
 Some of the student comments written in on their ballots follow:
 T hope to marry some one as like my mother as possible"
 "An old-fashioned girl. I have her all picked out. All I need is my college diploma and some money"
 "A flapper-there are no more old-fashioned girls"
 If old-fashioned means sensible and level-headed, though bobbed, certainly"
 If there is an old-fashioned girl to be found, I'll marry her"
 T hope to marry a fapper, 1. e. a nuEse."

WEST POINTERS
 NOW MAY SMOKE
Ban Is Lifted and 'Sneaking a
 Puff" Isn't Necessary

Washington. Jan. 14.-Cadets at the United States military academy now are permitted to smoke openly and need no longer be hypocritical about 1t. This was disclosed yester- day before the house committee on military affairs by Brig. Gen. Merch B. Stewart, superintendent of the academy.
 Gen. Stewart told the committee he lifted the ban to relieve cadets of the embarrassment of having to tell their feminine visitors they had no cigarettes to offer them between dances and on other occasions.
 Cadets are now permitted to smoke within the doors of their bar racks or in the halls of the barracks and in other buildings of the acad- emy," said the general. Tn addition I have permitted them to smoke on the balcony of Cullom Hall, over looking the Hudson river, where they go with the young ladies be- tween dances.
 Many of. the ladies smoke. In fact, they expect the cadets to fur nish them cigarettes, although the cadets were not permitted to smoke with them. As matter of fact, they had been doing it for years sur reptitiously. and I prefer to permit tharn +o do it opeO1yf'
 Gen. Stewart also told the con- mittee that in order to reduce the number of cadets busted" on ac- count of deficiency in study some of the rough spots are> being removed | from the West Point course.

 FINALLY KILLS SELF
Jackson, Michican, Man Suicide After Fighting Off Police
 Posse,

Jackson, Mich, Jan. 4.-CPl-Be- sieged by a score of deputy sheriffs, state police and local officers who fired more than 1000 rounds of am- munitio9 into his home. Howard Konkle, railroad shopman, killed himself last night after withstanding the siege for more than two hours.
 The officers were attempting to arrest Konkle for shooting his wife, May, 35, and neighbor Orville Case, both of whom are in a hospital severely wounded. Konkle's home, a small place at Vandercook Lake south of here. was riddled with bull lets and saturated with tear gas, when the besiegers, failing to get a response to their firing, rushed the place. They found konkle dead with q bullet wound through his heart. Powder burns on his shirt indicated the wound was self-infiicted.
 The shooting of Mrs. Konkle fol- lowed a quarrel. While the quarrel was in progress, Case arrived and was brought into the argument.
