nv hundred or more students of the
University of Pennsylvania are I'worktng
their way through college," according to
in announcement of the Young Men's
Chrlitlan Association of the University.
a majority of these have received their
I-positions through the association, which
(.maintains a Btuaen employment uimu.

There are about BO men at the unlver
ilty this year who last year succeeded in
taming their tuition, board and other ex
panses. Tho remalnlnc members of this
student army of workers usually have
some means, but are compelled to earn
part of their expenses wnuo ai scnooi.
There arn many ways through which
the student working his way through col
lme can earn money. Waiting on tablo
Is perhaps tho best way for a man to
h.ln hlmseir. since u Rives mm n. sieaay
tncome and a change from mental work.
AltnOfls an me uvhiuiiik uuudco uu

versity aie "rrianned" y these student
waiters. Clerking In stores, ushering, de
livering papers, telephone operator,
steward, salesman, canvasser, office clerk,
went, leading boys' clubB, lecturing, tu
toring and stenography are some of tho
different occupations In which these stu
dent workers earn their money.
stenography and typewriting present a
popular and prosperous line of work. The
growing realization among students and
faculty of the labor-saving nnture of both
stenography nnd typewriting is opening
up greater opportunities each year for
the student who Is well equipped In this
line.
Reporting for Philadelphia newspapers
offers one of the best opportunities to
the student worker. There are half a
'dozen students who get good checks each
.week for acting as correspondents at the
.University for these newspapers and
) "covering" the University events and
Franklin Field. Several of the students,
!ho are of a literary and creative ten
dency, make good money writing moving

it was a member of the varsity baseball
.team last year, earned a nice sum weekly
for the short baseball stories which he

various sections or mo cuy. unucr mis

was a successful cabaret singer in one
of the cafes downtown, while several of
the members of the orchestras of tho
tmraires in ino ccmrai part 01 me cuy
are students at the university during the
source at revenue for several students.
J who, previous to entering college, worked
in this line.
In one of the largest hotels of this city,
a senior in the Wharton School has been
acting as night telephone operator for
the past two years. He goes on duty
at J o'clock every night and then snatched
his "forty winks" while working at the
big switchboard at night. A big bell
rings and wakes him up when he Is
needed at the board.
TUTORING EXTINCT.
Tutoring by students Is dying out as a
profitable business at the University.
There are still some scattered opportu
nities In this field, but, as a general rule,
there Is very little tutoring at the Uni
versity, owing to the realization on the
part of the students that second-hand
study is expensive and of little real as
sistance and permanent value.
One Held which Is still practically mo
nopolized by the student worker Is that
of "suplng" In the big theatrical pro
ductions which come to town during the
theatrical season. The students make the
test "supers," as they very readily grasp
what Is necessary to be done by them
Dd "Internret" their nri with th ,n.
fthuslaim of seasoned artists.
Despite the fact that they are kept
busy at their monoy-maklng, quite a
; wet number of these student workers
rank very hleh. hoth in nthiti- nH
Ji stholastlcally, at the University. Several
members of the various varsity teams last
year were part of this student army of
workers, while each year the men -who
rank very high and win honors In their
, class work contain representatives of this
tme body.

widow, who killed herself and her three
little children by turning on the gas In
the bedrpom where they were sleeping at

Mrs. Annie Craig. 202S South Cleveland

tified that on the morning of October 12
at about S o'clock her curiosity was
aroused by the unusual fact that the
Hagar home was unopened and tho chil
dren were not playing out, as was their
custom.
After calling for 15 minutes over the
back fence and receiving no answer, she
went around to the front door and pulled
the bell repeatedly. There was ho re
sponse. Then she noticed that the front
window was stuffed with rags. Upon
forcing this two children, boarders of
Mrs. Hagar, were discovered sleeping un
harmed. Upstairs the mother and her
three babies were dead in the room where
the gas was turned on.
Qulntus Frenchman, a cousin of Mrs.
Hagar's husband, who lives In Hellers

BLEACHED BLONDE HAS
SOMBRE OUTLOOK NOW
Disappearance of Peroxide, Due
to tho War, Causes "Goldy
Locks" Much Anxiety
"M'ree," said the girl behind the eoun
ter, "1 don't know what we're goln' to
do. My hair Is sure to get dark again,
and I'll look like a fright. So will you."
"Mr. Blank." the secretary advised,
"we're on the last of the barium perox
ide and I can't see where we'll get any
more."
Chemical manufacturer and counter girt
turned pale, for they knew that there
wolild be no more peroxide of hydrogen,
hydrogen dioxide, nor H203 on the drug
store shelves. They're all the samo thing,
and any one, druggists will assure you, is
unequaled for turning dark hair to shin
ing yellow gold.
Already the first wan, tawny strands
have appeared on the heads of younr
women and their older sisters. Thus far
they have depended securely on an In
exhaustible supply of peroxide. But the
war, great agont In leveling of rank and
pride, has Invaded the home and attacked
Goldy Locks and Goldy Locks' mother.
Besides being the staple liquid for turn
ing dark hair light, and white hair
golden, peroxide of hydrogen has been
made the base of all hair bleaches. It
will bo useless to turn to manufacturers
of hair beautlflers. They ore all In the
same boat. Without the peroxide even
the most Ingenious Is adrift
The shortage has only lately come to
light, but the supply of barium peroxide,
from which the bleach Is made, has al
ready run. out In many manufacturing
plants.
In others there Is only a little
left
"It's the war," said Harry B. French,
of Smith, Kline. French Company, 42S
Arch street "Most of the barium per
oxide comes from Germany and England.
Of course, the Germans are untable to
export It, and tho English don't want
to. Our supply is exhausted. We have
stopped making peroxide of hydrogen.
Eventually It will be made from air, but
that may not be for a year or more. Un
til England releases the barium I can
not ee any relief In sight"
Another manufacturer was more opti
mistic. "It Is true that the sources of barium
peroxide are closed, but I have heard that
barium sulphate, the base of the peroxide,
has been mined In this country. It Is
even said that some manufacturers are
at work to locate this supply and work
It. That Is all In the future, however."
Meanwhile, the bleached blonde Is pass

STRIKE PARALYZES
TROLLEY THAFF1C
ATWILKES-BARRE
Public Taken Unawares When
Entire Force of Motormen
and Conductors Quit
Their Jobs
ARBITRATION A FAILURE
WILKE3-BARRE. Pa.. Oct .-Trolley
trafna in Wilkes-Barre and the Wyoming
Valley was completely tied up early to
day when the motormen and conductors
of the Wllkes-Barre Railway Company
unexpectedly called a strike.
The public had no notice and thousands
of people started for their places of em
ployment to find that no trolley cars were
running and that the unexpected strike
order had not given jitney owners time
to prepare to reap a harvest. Thousands
failed to reach their places of employ
ment The strike marks the complete failure
of mediation and arbitration In this con
troversy. The agreement of the men ex
pired last January. Higher wages were
demanded and In April negotiations with
the company were declared off and a
atrlko order was enforced. Federal
mediators arrived and brought both sides
together and at the end of 10 days the
strike was declared off.
Later a board of arbitration was named,
and Dr. John Price Jackson, of the State
Bureau of Labor, was made chairman of
thin board. An award was made by this
board giving the men a sliding wage
scale. It was accepted by the company,
but the men appealed, declaring that the
board had no power to fix anything but
a flat rate wage scale. Doctor Jackson
reconvened the board the company's
arbiter, however, refusing to attend and
admitted that the board had erred. His
action annulled the award and left the
men and company at tho point where
negotiations were broken off In April..
General Manager Thomas A. Wright re
fused to meet the national officers of the
union, but agreed to confer with his em
ployes. The men Insisted on their officials
being recognized. A meeting of the car
men was called for 1:30 o'clock this morn
ing, and three hours later a strike was
called and every man quit his Job.
