was defeated by a 89 25 score.
Lester E. Baird, son of Mr, and Mre,
William Baird, of State College, is
prineipal of a second grade Hish
school in Buckingham, pear Doyles
town, Bucks county. He finds the
people there very gsociably inclined,
and spesks well of the entire commu-
nity.
It appears the irjury sustained by
Mre. G. O. Benner was due directly to
a fall on a polished portion of a walk
gotten in that condition by boys sod
girls having a geod time sliding. At-
# tention to the danger resulting fom
these sliding places was called by this
paper some time ago, and it woald sp-
pear that it is high time to heed.
“Ope Girls Experience” will be

Not ip a long time were there as
many cooing lads and lassies in a pub-
lic gathering as there were in Grange
Arcadia on the occasion of the presen-
tation of the home talent plays by the
young people of the Methodist church.
All local nts were represented, and
all were fair and hapdsome. Ministers
who were present are aiready wateh-
ing for opportunities to come in con-
hop2 of making appointments to be at
home or come to a given point to say
words that mean so much.
The movement to further restrict the
killing of bear and deer is heartily ine
dorsed by the Reporter. The mobilis
ing of a large number of hunters and
the stationing of the crack markmen
immune to, “buck” fever at well
‘known crossings while the remainder
wirtaally rake a vast territory ls not
giving game a reasonable chance to es-
cape. Itis known that prior to the
closing of the game season the individ
ual who kills is kept a secret—and
why? The evading of the present law
permitting the killing of but ene deer
and one bear in one reason is an easy
matter, and it is because the suathoris
ties feel that hunters are pot vearly all
on the square when gunning that the
faw will be drawn tighter. The limit
of deer to be taken by one camp ss
well ss the limit of one to the man
will in a measure help to straighten
out the crooks who please to call them

MOST SHOPLIFTERS ARE MEN
Suits of Clothes and Even Rugs Often
Stolen, According to Private
Police Officer.
“There's one theory 1 want to ex-
plode,” ssid the chief of a department
store force in New York, “and that
regards the idea popularly accepted
that the modern shoplifter is a wom-
an. Do you know that there are five
men shoplifters and sneak thieves to
every woman shoplifter? In the un-
derworld these men are known as
‘moll-buzzers,” because they ‘buzz’
around the ‘mollies,’ or store girls
“The woman shoplifter isn't taking
the chances she did formerly. Her
method of stealing is pretty well
known by this time. You see, it's im-
possible to watch every counter in
the store. My method is to specialize
on the counters which hold jewelry,
leather goods, stockings, silks, gloves
and even rugs. Can you imagine some-
one stealing a big rug? Well, lots are
stolen.
“I have found out that most
lifters coming under my thumb wera
victims of drugs. This is rarticularly
true of the men. Exalted by the In-
fluence of the drug, they come in here
and actually pick up things in full
view of the salesgirl and walks off
with them. Why, the other day a man
tried to get away with a suit of
clothes. Yes, sir, walked ‘up to the
suit counter, selected what he liked
picked it up and away he went. You
should hear the wonderful and {llum-
{nating excuses once the thief
caught. Sometimes we laugh for hours
to hear the manufactured tales.'—

GREEK WOMEN STILL DRUDGE
Modern Emancipation of the Sex Has
Not Yet Arrived in That
Country.
The position of women in modern
Greek life is semloriental, to say the
least. While the great ladies of Ath-
ens have an active social career,
reek women, generally speaking, have
no Individuality,
At parties the women generally sit
apart, while in the country they are
almost never to be found at table {tf
guests are present, and upon them
falls the greater portion of the labor of
the household.
Following the plow, harvesting and
work upon the roads are common em-
ployments for the Greek peasant
woman, Unmarried, her parents and
her brothers control her conduct, and
a husband means merely a change of
masters for whom she tolls while he
$ils al ease,
An improvement, however, is gradu-
ally developing. The Greek, much
more than some of his Balkan neigh-
bors, has outgrown the notion that
the sole occupation fit for a man is
warfare, Through schools, endowed
and under royal patronage; through
other enterprises, and especial
through the demands of modern busi
ness life, avenues for employ
ment and advancement are opening
for women, and in another generation
it is altogether likely that the wom.
en of Greece will be found with their
of the West, demanding oa
rights what they now regard as great
i G. H. in the Na
privileges. —

An Easier Job.
Harry Dickson tells of an old negro
mammy who was kept from starva-
on by the white women who gave
her occasional odd jobs to do. Mrs
Dickson, the writer's mother, had
found some housework for the oid
negresa, but after working a day or
two Mandy said she must quit.
“1 done have to go out collectin’ for
de missionary society.” she explained.
“But I have work for you to do,”
said Mrs. Dickson, “and you need all
the money you ean get.”
“1 know,” sald the old mammy, “but
I done haf to collect foh de missionary
ROC ety.”
“What do you get paid for collect:
ing?" asked Mrs. Dickson.
“I don’t get paid,” sald Mandy “I
only gets what 1 colleets." Green

Textile Testing.
A machine for testing the wear of
textiles has been brought to notice.
The cloth is clamped in a rigid jaw,
and passes over a rubber surface
formed by dull blades set in a cylin
der, the other end of the fabric being
clamped to a roller arranged to give
any desired tension by means of sus
pended weights, The cylinder—by
electric motor if desired--is given one
revolution forward and one backward
alternately, a counter recording the
two movements as one rub. The rel
ative quality of different samples of
gloth will be shown by giving each a
pertain number of rubs, perhaps two
hundred, or comparison can be made
with » standard sample that has had
the required wear,
