WOMEN 0UTRANK
 MEN IN ONE LINE
Are Found to Be Expert as
 Photographers

Paris. Dec. $. tPl- Women are ,uuning men out of what males seemed to regard as safe territory, the study of ancient manuscripts and knowledge Of old customs, language and history.
 Ten young women and ten young men passed the examinations this year for admission to the Ecole Rationale des CharteS the govern
 nent school that trains paleogra- phers and keepers of archives. The
 women, however, outranked the
 men.
 Tn 9S years only two women have been admitted to the school. Gene
 vieve Acloque, now the Nicomtesse de Lire d'Espagny, was the first , one, in 1909. Ten years later Mademoiselle Ducaffy started the after-war invasion and each year | since there have been more women
 applicants.
 1 Maurice Prou, the head of the institution, admits he Is an old
 fashioned anti-feminist, shocked at modern manners and preferring the l pas to the present, as "befits one l who has lived his life decipherine
 ancient writings" He admits also ! that women excel the men in the ] erudite studies of the school. al- ! though he would prefer them tc ! leave him and his men students in ! npaCe

ANCIENT IDOLS IN OLD MEXICO
Hint at Remote MongOlian
 Invasion

Denver. Colo. Dec. s. P,-A trio ot Tarascan Indian idols, regarded as indicating that the first American inhabitants came from the orient, have been presented to the Colo rado Museum Of Natural History by Fred A Fair of Boulder, Colo. The idols were unearthed on the shores of Lake Chapala, Mexico.
 Believed to be older than the Egyptian pyramids, the idols are three of only few i'll existence. The TarasCans, progcnitors of the Toltecs Of Mexico, and one of the most ancient races Of men, Wor- shipped the statues as gods and the Moneolian features of the idols are considered evidence that the primitive American migrated from the east.
 An archaeologist entered into the ritual of one of the primitive tribes and married one of the Wo- ton of tombs in which the idols were buried, according to A. D. Hudson, trustee of the collection
 from which Fair purchased the
 idols. There are a. hundred odd pieces in the entire collection, nc two couples of which have an iden-
 tical pose and headdress Head dresses of widespread feathers On q female figure betoken a goddess or queen. according to fragments Of archaeological knowledge which experts have been able to supply to the collection. There are also burden bearers and turbaned
 priests or warriors, various types of women. some with babies in arms, and even grinning reptiles. The faces of all have the hawklike 1 silhouette of the Indian except for the two yellowed figures of slant ! eyed. flat faced dome-headed cast i belonging 10 the Mongollan.

v. GLAS(,OE
B|NGES
By r. d. Thomas

A clean hit was scored today for
Wee Willie Glascoe in the game of
promoting semi-pro baseball. Just
when the outlook seemed hopeless
for the leading teams of Washing
ton and vicinity, the little Shamrock
manager came to bat with healthy
idea and a lot of energy.
Thus was born the Disnnarva
Semi. Professional Baseball League,
which promises to make something
out of chaos. If 1t achieves nothing
else it will put a link or two Of
vertebrae in the otherwise spineless
structure to semi-pro ball in Wash
ington, Maryland and Virginia.
GlascOe's league will include
the Shamrock and KnickerbOck-
er teams Of Washington; the
DreadnaughtS, OF Alexandria;
Mt. Rainier, Of Prince Georges
county. Md, and the EastpOrt
and Severn clubs. from the
vicinity OF Annapolis.
sunday games will be played
starting May 1. The organization
win. be perfected at q meeting on
April 5.
With the exception OF the severn
club every. member of the league Is
warm rival OF every other. Thus
virtually every contest will bring to-
gether two teams fighting for vic
tory with spirit. Moreover, each OF
the six clubs has a numerous and
thoroughly loyal following. That as
sures financial success, the end for
which Glascoe has striven.
The, little Shamrock manager, In a
long career as business pilot of the
Shamrock team, has never failed to
show profit. The Shamrocks prob
ably have divided more shekels than
any other team in Washington. Glas-
coe got busy with his league idea
when it appeared that sandlot and
semi.pro baseball was to do perfect
flop financially. The league viii re-
vive interest, II not boom It.
For the first time in it's long
history the Dreadnaught club, of
Alexandria, will take part In or
gained competition. Heretofore
the Alexandrians have played
weII.nigh meaningless games,
contests i'm which nothing more
than victory for q day was at
stake. GIascOe probably has
helped the Dradnaughts as much
as his league by effecting this.
change Of Big ID policy.
The. Dreadnaughts very likely
would have played every club in
the league. anyway. Now the games
will be Of championship import
ance, which should make them quite
lucrative compared with the exhibi.
tions that have been the order In
Alexandria.
The trick name Of. the new league,
it seems, fails of its purpose. dis.
marva" is supposed to be an abbres
Walton of District Of Columbia,
Maryland and Virginia. It sounds
more like the name of a fancy
cigarette and unless it is explained
frequently through the summer 1t
will be confusing to q portion OF the
public.
With a name like that the league
runs the risk of being mistaken
for an advertisement. ''Tri-State"
would seem to be more to the
point, though trite.

,One-Armed Pitcher
Gives Promise

Boston University has a one
armed pitcher who gives promise
of being as famous in the col

He is Francis Burns, of Charles
town. This is Burns first year
on the squad. Although he
lacks the ability to GUST Don

is enough to warrant his reten-
ton on the squad. He is being
