KVICKER GIRL, HURT
IN WRECK, TO WALK
Child Subject of Court Fight
Over Right to Wear
Boomers to School.
~ The Associated Press.


LOUISVILLE, KY, March l2.-Vir-
GINA Allen, il, whose mother won the
right to send her to school in knicker-
bockers two years ago, after q court
night with Jacksonville Ind, school Of
f1cials, has been unable to wear play
clothes for many weeks, but has high
hopes of soon joining her playmates.
Virginia was seriously injured jan
uary IL when her fathers automobile
was struck by a freight train, fatally
injuring him and breaking her leg In
three places. Since then she has lain
in hospital bed in a plaster cast, worn
from ankle to chest.
It was a cause of great rejoicing for
Virginia when she was first permitted
to lie on her back this week. Before
then she had 10 stay on one side and
could see only one part Of the room
and out the window. Now she can see
In both directions.
Her physician says it win be only q
matter of time until she will be able
to sit in q wheel chair and then q little
more waiting until she can again put
on clothes and be as wen as ever. At
first she was certain she would be q
cripple, but hospital authorities have
assured her she will be entirely well
II she keeps patient.
Two years ago Virginias motner,
who had four other children 70 dreSs
for school, sent her to school In
sknickers," and Virginia was sent home
on the ground she was improperly clad
for school. The court fight that fol-
lowed, which Virginia's mother won by
proving she could not afford to dress
virginia in fine clothes, attracted Ma
tioai-wide attention.

PROSPERITY LOAN RACKET
 MAKES ITS APPEARANCE

LOS ANGELES, Sept. g. (P)- Police here are faced with the problem of breaking a prosperity loan racket. This new racket, arising from suggested prosperity loans to be made by the United States, is worked on the petition method.
 The only difference is that the persons circulating the petition charge SignerS 10 cents to put their signature on the dotted line This is where the profit comes in. Instead of being of a benefit to the person who signs the petition, the money goes to the person cir culating the petition, with a result that no good comes to the person who expended the dime.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

I am sixteen years of age,
don't smoke, drink or swear.
If I go out with a girl, which
I seldom do, 7 don't kiss her.
Because of this, girls won't go
out with me. I've got a repu-
tation of being dead" When
I'm with boys, I've got to lie
by saying that I go with girls
so that they won't make fun
of me.
But I'm going to wake up.
Girls have never given me a
chance; they've laughed at me
behind my back. I'm going to
play their game. Girls of this
sort I meet from now on are
going to be petted when they
want to, and afterwards I'm
going to make fools of them
if possible. Decent girls I shall
treat as they should be treated
right. My feelings toward
girls now is that I hate them.

are beautiful and make fools of

Iukewarm Love

Funny, isn't 1t. that the more
efficient, intelligent and bril-
liant women become, the less
seriously men seem to take
them.
Woman may be the weaker
vessel filled with curiosity.
But, woman is curious only
about the things that concern
her heart, her happiness and
her friends, while a man Is
curious about EVERYTHING,
from what makes the wheels go
round to why God made him
so wonderful.
Once, love was either the
essence Of romance and purity

For some dark and inexplic-
able reason. NO man ever
throws away a key. If he
could have them all buried with
him, doubtless it would make
him happy. Which is why
nothing intrigues a woman's
imagination quite so much as a
mans key-ring - that magic
sesame to all his present secrets
and dead dreams.
A mans idea Of packing q

Your Health

Plague Is probably not con.

of personal danger. Yet we are
living at the end Of one Of the
great plague epidemicS Of his

century had q great pandemic
Of plague swept the world. It
reached its height in the four

the Black Death.
Then it gradually subsided.
For over a hundred years it was
not heard of. It was supposed
to be a thing Of the past, like
sweating sickness.
Then, in 1871, it broke out in
China. thence travelled to India
and by trade routes to the
entire world. The pandemic
was at its height in 1907, when

Of the plague was called by
DR.. Osler "the most important
single fact" in the modern
study Of contagious diseases.
Kept in Bounds
In 1903 the California ground
squirrel became infected with
the disease and since then few
cases have occurred in the
United States every year.
Modern preventive medicine
has kept it within bounds and
usually confined it to seaport
towns.
Rats acquire the disease from
fleas. Humans are infected by
blea bites - from fleas that
have been living on infected
rats. Fleas can bite an in
fected human, sucking up his
blood and then bite another
human and inject the germ
into the later'S blood with the
bite.
Many other rodents can carry
the diSease-Squirrels, wood
chucks. prairie dogs, weaSels.
etc. The rat and the ground
squirrel are probably the only
ones dangerous to man.
Rats Are Menace
The existence Of rats and rat
colonies is always a potential
source of danger. A columnist
recently described an enormous
rat colony on Rikers Island.

mated that there were $4,000.
