IIOII SORORITY GIRLS DO BETTER WORK "Members of Greek Letter Societies As a Rule Are Poor Students.

LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. 17. Fraternity and sorority circles of the University of Nebraska, were given a disagreeable shock by a statement authorized by Chancellor Samuel Avery, in which It 1b declared that the percentage of delinquencies Is considerably less among the barbarians than among those connected with the Greek letter societies. In other words, Chancellor Avery says the statistics show that nonmemberghip in the fraternities and sonorities appears to be an element of progress and proof of better scholarship. The report made by the chancellor at this time deals more particularly .with the sororities, and is submitted f by Professor Engbcrg, chairman of the delinquency committee, whose figures gave the non-members of the societies the honors by nearly 2 per cent. The figures show that out of the eleven sororities there are four whose' percentage of delinquency is a trifle less than the average for nonsorority women, while Beven have a worse average record than the barbs. If these averages continue for this year, and the prospective member has her choice of the eleven sororities, provided she is determined to cease being a barbarian, she will have four choices of a sorority better than the nonsorority average, and seven ehanices to join a sorority with a poorer record than the one shown by the ' barbs. A table giving the statistics has ' been posted so that all may read, and , Chancellor Avery, in commenting on the figures, suggests that it will be well for all to study them carefully. The consensus of opinion among the faculty members and others interested in university life is that on the whole the fraternity men and sorority women are poorer students than the nonfraternity folk, and the publication of the figures, it is believed, may In time do away with many of the evils connected with the fraternity system. To escape. being held up to the public gaze twice a year, it is argued, the members of these societies will have to get down to work for better records. "When they do that," said one faculty member, " there will not be much time let for the miscellaneous foolishness that has brought odium on the whole fraternity system. "The new administration policy of state universities." remarked another member of the university family, "necessarily results in a critical attitude toward fraternities and sororities. These organizations must cease to, be what they are or the conflict will, without much doubt, result in the extermination of such Organizations." Nebraska sorority girls will not officially express an opinion on the now 'burning question whether or not cabs should be used by university men in taking the girls to and from formal dances. At an informal meeting of representative sororities the girls reIterated their desire for extreme simplicity in all social functions, but they decided the cab question was a matter to be settled by individual girls, or at most be the individual sororities involved. No intr-sorority action will be attempted. In emphasizing their desire for social simplicity, the girls determined to continue the policy adopted last year. This allows each sorority to hold one formal party each year. At these dances there are to be no decorations whatever, no suppers and nothing else which may be dispensed with while keeping the identity of the POSTUH A Rich Palatable Nourishing Food Drink .that has taken the place of coffee and tea in thousands up- ' on thousands of homes.

Zemo Makes Astonishing Eczema Cures

"WE PROVE IT." Every day ZEMO gives relief and cures men, women and children in every city and town in America whose skins are on fire with torturing ECZEMA rashes and other itching, burning, scaly, and crusted skin and scalp humors. ZEMO and ZEMO (ANTISEPTIC) SOAP, two refined preparations will give you such quick relief that you will feel like a new person. We give you three reasons why we recommend and endorse ZEMO and ZEM'O SOAP for all skin and scalp eruptions. 1st. They are clean, scientific preparations that give universal satisfaction and are pleasant and agreeable to use at all times. 2nd. They are not experiments, but are proven cures for every form of skin or scalp affections whether on infants or grown persons. 3rd. They work on a new principle. They do not glaze over the surface but they penetrate to the seat of the trouble and draw the germ life from underneath the skin and destroy it. In this way a complete cure is effected in any case of SKIN OR SCALP ERUPTION'. Endorsed and sold in Richmond by the Fine Drug Store. hops as formal affairs. The girls expressed it as their desire that the senior and junior promenades, the only two general university formals of the year, should be just as formal as it is possible to make them. The anti-cab agitations was started by a rumor that Lincoln hackmen were planning to boost the charge for cab service. Despite denials on the cab owners' part, the fraternity men aroused themselves and sem to have the support of the sorority girls. DISH WASHING MADE EASY. This is a factor in home life which is most important, as dishes frequently permit of the accumulation of dirt and grease which are health destroyers, if not properly removed. The snow white suds of Hewitt's Easy Task Soap enters every crevice and is a thorough cleanser, providing the sweet, wholesome and clean effect to the china and glassware which gives a charm and zest to the meal. Hewitt's Easy Task soap accomplishes all this because it does its own work and leaves no traces behind. It is clean, pure and effective, and costs no more than the "cheap" kinds. RAFTS OF GNAT EGGS. Their Floating Illustrates a Curious Property of Water. Many simple experiments show that the surface of water possesses a property which causes it to resist the passage of bodies either from above or below. This Is true not only of soapy water, but of the cleanest and purest water as welL A sheet of fine gauze tends to float because, its weight being widely distributed, each of the numerous separate wires Is resisted by the surface film so that the water cannot readily pass through the meshes. Insects and plants utilize this fact In many interesting ways. Some water plants whose leaves float on the water have a very simple contrivance to keep the upper surfaces of the leaves dry. This consists of a great number of minute hairs covering the tops of the leaves. Water cannot penetrate among these hairs even when the leaves are forced down beneath the surface. The little rafts of eggs that gnats set affoat on the water are kept from sinking and from being upset through this same principle. The tiny eggs have their points all upward, and they are glued together so closely that, while there is open space all around the point of each egg, yet the width of these spaces is so slight that water rannot readily pass through. You may again and again upset such an egg raft, but it will right Itself every time, and the upper surface will remain dry. ARMS OF THE MEDICI. The Gilded Globes That Mark the Pawnbroker's Shop. Few persons seeing the signs of the vast wealth of our avuncular relatives in most thoroughfares in Loudon pause to consider their origin. Of course it is the balls of gold to which we refer. Not only may they be taken as indications of wealth, but as a sign that pledges are received. But the balls do not Indicate what they really are. Tbey ase the arms of the Medici family. Whoever has visited Florence will recall the three balls alternated with the red lilies. But how comes it that the decorations of the Tuscan palace have found their way to London and elsewhere? Tbe explanation is not difficult if we give the subject a moment's thought The first gold changers to settle in London, as In Paris, were the Florentines or Lombards. They chose Lombard street as the place where they would carry on their business. These early settlers are perpetuated today by the bankers. In the early days the Inhabitants counted among their number some of the Medici family, and to inspire confidence tbey exhibited their family Arms, to which they had a perfect right. Tbe family of Medici Is extinct today, but their arms survive them, the present users thinking tbe respectability of tbe origin too great to ba dispensed with. London Globe.

HIPLESS 'WOMAN IS 110 LOIIGERIII STYLE Latest Creations at Gotham Gown Show "Tail" Attached to Hobbles.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17. The "lineless lady" is going out of fashion! This is the latest news from the French capital. There is a gown show in town today, and every gorgeous costume, paraded back and forth on a living mod.!, tells the story. Even the hobble doesn't hobble as much as it did. It has extended itself a little and in its newer form it won't trip the wearer quite as impulsively as it did last spring. To replace the freakishness of the ultrahobble, however. Mile. Paris has evolved the tail, The tail is merely a loose end which flaps and flutters behind to the left. Many of the flaps flaunted today were of brocade, for that's one of the favored materials this season. And it must be on the left. Nobody knows why. To put it on the right would be a solecism. Another feature of the new gowns is that, while they are elegant and gorgeous, they are rather "subdued." Bursts of color are to be distinctly outre. Instead the modishly gowned will affect more quiet hues that cost just as much. All the noted costumers were represented by models in the show today, and all except one have "recreated" that aspect of the feminine figure about which so many poets have highed the waist-line. That's what leads the prophetic ones to promise that before spring there will be real hips again. There was the quaintest little polonaise a dawning hint of a Dolly Varden in French blue over a white satin skirt and bodice. The narrow black velvet that bordered it was tremendously demure and it was as flat at the back as it. could manage consistently. For the rest everything must reach the ground, it may even aspire to a train, but the train must never be straight. Amusements "Thy Neighbor's Wife." Daniel Frohman, who will present in this city at the Gennett theater Thursday night, October 19, "Thy Neighbor's Wife," a new American comedy with Arthur Byron, was responsible for the first appearance in New York of many of our best known stars, such as Maude Adams, Henrietta Crosman, Margaret Anglin, Mary Mannering and others. It is claimed he has used equally sound judgment in selecting Pamela Gaythorne for the leading role in "Thy Neighbor's Wife." While most of Miss Gaythorne's reputation has been gained in England, her performances last year in New York, where she played many of the leading roles at the New theater, make it certain that in a short time she will be one of America's most popular actresses. Miss Gaythorne has a delightful role to portray in "Thy Neighbor's Wife." She is a young married woman in the play and her home is next door, one of the twin cottages, to another young married couple. All is not harmony in these diminutive households. One husband is domesticated while the other is gay and likes to be with the "boys." One wife is a little home body, cooks well and keeps the home tidy, while the other wife cares little about the home and all for dress and appearance. Friction results between both husbands and wives and they all agree that they would be happier if each were married to the other. A sort of trial affair is arranged for a week and the husbands remove temporarily next door. They are made to sleep upon uncomfortable couches and the women, who really love their husbands and wish to win their love over again, completely disillusionizing them, and in the end each husband is quite satisfied to return to his own wife and home. Miss Gaythorne plays the frivolous wife with charm, grace and much cleverness, it is said. Mali bran's Generosity. Mallbran. the celebrated mezzo so prano, who was born at Paris in 190S and died at Manchester. England, in 1836. was beloved for her amiability, generousity and professional enthusiasm. Her benefactions amounted to such considerable sums that her friends were frequently obliged to Interfere for the purpose of regulating her finances.

BIRTH OF A HYMN. How Dr. Bennett Cam to Writ Th Sweet By and By." The popular hymn. "The Sweet By and By." was written by Dr. S. Fillmore Bennett at Elkhorn, Wis., in 1867, especially for "The Signet Ring," a book of hymns of which he is said to have written more than a hundred. At that time Bennett was associated with J. P. Webster, the composer, who had an exceedingly melancholy disposition. One day Bennett remarked to Webster. "Well, what's the mat ter now?" "It's no matter," dolefully replied Webster. "It will be all right by an! by." Bennett at once seized his pen and wrote tbe immortal words of tbe song. Webster, bis gloom vanished, wrote out a few notes and played them on his violin, and these two, with N. H. Carswell and S. E. Bright, were singing tbe hymn within half an hour from the time Bennett began writing R. R. Crosby, who entered at tbe moment, exclaimed, "That hymn Is lm mortal 1" Bennett was born at Eden, N. Y., in 1836. He resigned his position as edi tor of the Independent at Elkhorn to enter the war between the states and at the end of bis service studied medi cine and engaged in tbe drug business at Elkhorn till he became associated with Webster in song writing. He died at Richmond, 111., In 1898. New York Tribune. On Being Calm. One of tbe finest things within reach of the average Individual Is calmness. It is also profitable. Calmness is tbe twin sister of comfort The man or woman who has formed the habit of calmness is apt to be comfortable when others are uncomfortable. Nor is It such a difficult matter to make this habit feel enough at home to become a member of the family! For calmness is about ninety per cent freedom from fear. As a rule, the person who Is not calm is afraid of something or somebody. Afraid of self, perhaps. And that is the most disconcerting sort of fear. ' The way to be calm is to be calm. - When tbe winds of adversity or disappointment or discouragement are seeking to ruffle your mental seas, keep remembering that there is no such a thing as a comfortable passage with the waves beating high. So. keep calm. Philadelphia North American. The financial troubles of the earl of Yarmouth, the marquis of Huntly and Lord Chelsea are not the only cases of needy aristocrats.

LAW IS EXPLAINED TO T0WNJ3FFICIALS Always One Holdover Attorney General, Honan Says in Explaining Act.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 17. Thomas M. Honan. attorney-general, has writ- ' ten a number of letters in the last two j weeks to explain to boards of trus- ! tees in incorporated towns the . purpose of the act of the recent general i assembly w hich curtails the tenure of ! office of approximately one-half the town trustees of the state. Under an act of 1909. town trustees elected that year were to hold office for four years from January, 1910. The act of 1911 contemplated that the trustees should thereafter be elected so as to have at least one holdover member on the board all the time, and to do so, cut in half the terms of about half the number in te state. The approach of November, the legal month for holding town elections, has found the greater number of the towns unprepared for an election. Under the 1909 act, had it not been amended, no election would be held this year. The new act provides that In towns where there is an even number of trustees the half who received the highest number of votes in the election of 1909 shall continue until January, 1914. Successors must be elected for those who received the lowest number of votes. Where there is an odd number of trustees, the majority who received the largest vote in 1909 shall hold over, and successors shall be elected for those receiving the lowest vote. The attorney-general holds that where a trustee has been appointed to fill out an unexpired term, his successor shall be elected, whether the man he succeeded did or did not receive among the highest number of votes two years ago. Further, the election of a successor to such an appointee shall not figure in the determination of the number to be elected on the basis of the majority vote. The new corrupt practices act passed by the last general assembly will have its first workout in the approaching elections. From Bartholomew county comes a report that the provisions of the act are preventing persons in a number of towns in that county from announcing candidacies for trusteeships. Many of them have declared the act makes politics too risky for them. A dispatch from Columbus, the county seat, says the incorporated towns in the county are meeting with difficulty in obtaining enough candidates to place on the tickets for the election. Finland, with its thousand lakes, is now considered attractive enough to be on the general tourist's list. Sore Throat Cure.

Kill BURNED BARN Brother Accepts Verdict of Bloodhounds.

FRANKLIN, Pa., Oct. 17. Lowry Hoffman, a prosperous farmer of Irwin township, waB charged with burning the barn of his brother Lewis a week ago. The structure was completely destroyed, together with its contents, including a horse worth $250 four cows and all the season's crops, the loss being $3,000, with only $1,000 insurance. It is the theory of the prosecution that Lowry burned the barn in revenge for the action of Carlisle Hoffman, a son of Lewis, in testifying against Lowry in a criminal suit Saturday afternoon. The principal evidence against Lowry is that two bloodhounds twice followed a scent from the door of the barn to Lowry's home, a mile distant. On the second trip Lowry came out of the house, and the dogs are alleged to have smelled him and stood stock still. Lowry sent word to the sheriff today that he would come into town and give bail for a hearing. A reign of lawlessness has prevailed in Irwin township, which is many miles inland, during the last few weeks. Two houses and a barn have been burned, two stores have been burglarized and an ice cream social broken up. BUSINESS CARES WEREJOO GREAT Walsh Compelled to Remain in Bed Physician Constantly Present.
