Ventilated Headwear Is
Latest Edict From Paris

Ventilated headwear is top
note in the new collection Agnes
shows. Pie-shaped wedges are
cut out of black brims that lie low
and hug the hair. Half-hats that
reach back only to the ears are
finished the rest of the way with
flowing black wells.
A wide-brimmed black Panama,
cut in two lengthwise, joins to-
gether again with half a dozen
bows of black velvet baby ribbon.
All it's edges are also velvet-bound.
Agnes, too, makes much use of
ribbon. Birdlike bows perch on
the crowns of her sailor hats and
stand aloft on the "cut-away" fronts
of her off-the-face models.

he improved his control, the bat
tiers wouldn't gain more confidence.

he said. 81 never tried to hit a
batter in my life, but, after all,
getting out of the way of ball is
their business, not mine"
"What about Hubbell, what do
you think of him?"
81 guess he's the greatest pitcher
I've ever seen," he said. HE
must be the best. I know / never
saw a ball do the things he can
make it do"
Then some one asked him il he

How it was that the Dodgers did

COLLEGE is SUED
FOR $4,000 FUND
Failure to Teach Evangelical Re-
formed Principles as Will
REQUIRED Charged.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, February 6.-Pre-
liminary steps have been taken in Or
phans' Court to terminate a S150,000
trust fund for Ursinus College on the
ground that the institution has failed
to teach and maintain Evangelical
Reformed Church principles, but has
become non-sectarian.
The fund was provided in the will
of Robert Patterson, wealthy Philadel-
phia manufacturer who died nearly A
years ago. His will made this pro-
vision:
In the event of the failure of the
officers and faculty Of the college to
faithfully teach, maintain and carry
out Evangelical Reformed principles,
the trust shall absolutely end and in
such case all the money remaining
in custody Of the trustee shall be di-
vided among the heirs of my wife and
myself
A petition filed by Laura A. Lewis,
one of the Patterson heirs, contends
the Collegeville, Pa, institution is "be-
ing conducted on absolutely non-sec-
tartan and on-denominational lines"
Orphans Court directed the college
to file answer to the petition.

did not, he would not hesitate to run
again.
In criticizing some unnamed politi-

them "corns on the foot Of progress

Half q year before her Tooth BIRTH

Miss Thomas was descendant Of
a famous Maryland family and until
seven years ago lived at Cremona. q

in st. Marys County. She was born
there September 81, 1887, when Mar.
tin Van Buren had been President
Of the United States only six months.

Mechanicsville, Md. where Miss
Thomas was baptized and which she
attended almost every Sunday Of her
life until she moved to Washington,
funeral services will be held at 2:30

Metcaf, rector, officiating. Miss
Thomas went regularly to st. Johns
Episcopal Church in Georgetown after
she moved to Washington, the last
time being December 10, but she re-
tanned her connection with AL Faiths.
Followed Outdoor Life.
Miss Thomas, who weighed only
80 pounds at the time Of her death.
exhibited a remarkable sturdiness all
her life. She early became afiiicted
with a chronic bronchitis. and to
combat the ailment she decided to
follow the outdoor life. To this her
nieces attributed her longevity.
At Cremona in the Spring and
Summer she spent most Of the days
working in her flower garden, raking
gravel on her walks, exercising In the
fresh air at every opportunity.
In her youth. the Misses Mitchell

81 pounds. Her vigor, however. was
unabated by age.
She slept on the second floor Of
the red brick house on @ street, re-
firing each night between 8 and 8
o'clock and arising about noon. Alone
she descended the staircase leading
from her room to the dining room on
the first floor, where each day she
had luncheon and dinner with her
nieces and ate the very things they
did-meats, vegetables, salads, bread
and butter, dessert.
She was quite deaf and her sight
was somewhat affected. but not
enough to prevent her knitting wash
cloths and sewing. In the desk in
her room after her death was found

When she wasn't at her sewing. she
spent much time playing solitaire, and
