MORE STATISTICS

Life: When Roger Babson, the
statistical college professor, attends
a class day, he probably carries home
with him an impression like the fol-
lowing:
Twenty-Five per cent of the visit
ing alumni are there because they
are doing well in business and want
to tell about it.
Twenty per cent who are not do
ing so well had new summer suits to
wear and no better place to wear
them.
Fifteen per cent wanted to get
drunk with old classmates whom they
wouldn't cross the street to see on
the other 364 days of the year.
Ten per cent are ex-athletes visit
ing the scene of their former triun1-
phs.
Another 10 per cent had no sales
resistance to the follow-up letters
from the alumni secretary.
Eight per cent are insincere senti-
mentalists who (a) wish they were
in college again-for about five min
utes; (b) want to feel sorry for the
graduating class.
Six per cent are still in the bond
business and must keep up acquaint-
ances.
Three per cent had nothing better
to do and wanted to tell their STEM
ographers they were "going up tc
college for the day."
Two per cent are professional alu.
mni waiting to bully the president.

Mrs. Knapp reiterated the assertion of previous statements that she had advanced money to Mrs. Ninde for travelling. and that therefore when the vouchers were cashed, the money properly belonged to the secretary of state.
 Mrs. Ninde testified however. that she had not authorized Mrs. Knapp to cash the vouchers. Mrs. Knapp mentioned in her affidavit that two newspaper reporters interview ing her on the day that charges were first published saw Mrs. Ninde questioned regarding this point, and heard her admit authorizing Mrs. Knapp to cash the vouchers.

Knapp, former secretary of state, believes sinister influences" were primarily responsible for the pres ent investigation into her conduct of the 1925 state census. was gi"en here today In brief informal state ment from her counsel, Alexander Otis.
 After the completion of her defense,' he told newspapermen, she will be prepared to make an at tack and to give such information as she has regarding sinister infiu- ences that brought this situation to pass"
 The exact nature of Mrs. Knopp's promised disclosures Mir. Otis pre- ferred not to make known at this time. It was assumed, however, that they would cover the whole background and history of the cen sus inquiry, now under way at AL bany. disregarding no persons whom she believes connected with the in Nestigation, either directly or in directly.
 Tn the meantime. Mrs. Knapp will continue to make public affidavits setting forth her defense against the charges Of the Cities Census Com lnittee, Inc, that she wasted state money on the enumeration and failed properly to administer 1t. The second affidavit, given out last night, contained her defense against allegations that she had employed relatives who did no work on the census, and that she had cashed expense vouchers made out to her private secretary, Mrs. Lucia Y. Ninde, and had failed to turn the money over to the secretary.
 Out of nearly 5000 appoint ments,' said Mrs. Knapp in reply to the first charge, "I named seven persons to various positions who were more or less family connec- lions. As l had very little acquain- tance with the great body of em- ployes and was forced to aqut them on recommendation. 1 do not re gard that l did anything improper, but claim that I did that which is praseworthy. in naming 10 certain positions of trust people who were close 10 me-

THE NATIONAI-.La Locandiera. /"

THE NATIONAI-'La LOcandiera."
Last night at the National Theater
the New York Civic Repertory
Theater Co. presented la LOGAN
tiiera," comedy translated and
adapted from the Italian of Carlo
Goldoni.
This play. the second in the group
or three plays to be given by this
excellent company, is truly a de-
iightful little comedy. Not burdened
with a heavy plot, nor overly long,
IT pleased a good-sized audience last
might.
With Miss La Gallienne as the
Mistress OF the Inn, as the title
reads in English, presiding over her
little hotel somewhere in Italy,
sometime in the eighteenth century,,
and with the two principal guests at
the hostelry in love with her, an
amusing situation is presented TO
begin with.
The marquis and the count are the
two who have completely fallen for
the charms OF their hostess, while
the third guest. the cavalier. is a
woman-hater Mistress Mirandolina
therefor sets out to charm this
gentleman and add him to her already
large list of suitors.
pursuit of the gentleman and her
final flight from his too ardent love
making to the arms of her waiter,
long in love with her. give ample
opportunity for fine and subtle
comedy. Two actresses, late arrivals
at the inn, and eXcellently played by
Josephine Hutchison and Beatrice
de Neergaard, keep the marquis and
count engaged while Mirandolina
practices her wiles on the cavalier.
Miss La Gallienne in the part Of
Mirandolina proves her ability as
an actress with a splendid and well
restrained yet thoroughly vital per-
,formance. Egon Brecher as the
cavalier was fine and his work was
outstanding. Sayre Crawley as the
marquis and Paul Leysaac as the
count handled their parts in an ar
tistic and worthy manner.
The play, in three acts and several
scenes, is well staged. The scenes,
with old Venetian furniture, were
artistic and beautiful and the Co.'S
tUming was equally good. -..----- IL.
