SWARTHMORE COLLEGE GIRLS DEFEAT WELLESLEY IN MEASUREMENTS APPROXIMATING VENUS DE MILO'S 'rtS?' iSlvift 1?T ?jUfBiWSS h riavS2? SP-WySSflftftJlS-x H ?3 l'hoto by Gilbert Studio Mis3 Margaret Willetts, of Swarthmore College, is moro nearly lllyj the ."perfect standard" ascribed to tho measurements of the Venus tie Milo than any girl student nt cither her own collcgo or Wellesloy. Tho "Composite Venus" of Swarthmoro is closer to tho Venus requirements than tho "Composito Venus" of Wellesloy, which was recently heralded as being as near as is humanly possiblo to get to tho ideal. And One of Them Is as Nearly Like Standard of Perfection as It Is Possi ble to Be Venus do Mlio Is perfect. Welleslcy College's "Composito Venus" approxi mates the Venus de Milo. Hut Swarth moro College's "Composito Venus" not only defeats tho Wclleiley approximation of perfection In the asgiegate, but also contains an Individual who in weight, height, neck, waist and chest measure ments Is so nearly like tho VenuB de Milo measurements as to make the differ ences lnflnlstcslmal and negligible. Tho Vonus de Milo, as she stands In the Louvre, In fear and trembling lest a bomb from a Zeppelin annlhllato her perfections for all time nnd leavo only tho polo nnd spiritless copies In plaster to show what the world may lose, Is larger than life. Translated Into terms of flesh and blood, her measurements' aro held to bo tho matchless standard of femininity, although some consider her a llttlo too short, and thin persons con sider her a little too stout. Tho total measurements of all tho "Wel lesley girls were tal.cn and added up and divided by the number of girls to get an aerage. Then AVcllcsly crowed. Bo causo they had approximated tho Ideal. Tho samo has been done at Swarthmore, and now Swarthmoro can crow louder, for tho a'vorago of Swarthmoro co-eds' measurements Is nearer perfection than tho "Composito Venus" of Wellcsley. That is because Swarthmoro Is nearer Philadelphia than Wellesley. In Phila delphia live tho most beautiful girls In tho world. Tho reincarnation of the Venus do Milo lives In Philadelphia. But that Is a .digression. In Swarthmoro Collcgo Is to bo found not only a better aggregato Venus, but an nlmost exact duplication of tho Venus de Milo measurements In ono person. This young woman Is so little different In weight, height, neck, chest and waist measurements from the Venus In the Louvro that tho difference Is not worth talking about. Tor Instance, the Venus do Milo, were she flesh nnd blood, would be 5 feet 4 9 Inches In height, whereas this girl Is G feet 4 8 Inches In height, and tho difference Is less than tho thickness of the thinnest dancing pump Bole. To cap the climax. Miss Margaret 'Wil letts, who measures up so well to the Venus standard, actually looks a good Boy, Trolley Victim, Will Recover Oscar Dean, 6 years old, 720 North 3d street, who was struck by a trolley car In front of hla homo on January 2 and dragged for half a square, Is recoerlng at the Roosevelt Hospital. When the boy was picked up after tho accident It was believed ho could live only a few hours. Ills skull was fractured and several ribs broken. He spent most of yesterday sing ing songs he learned In school. Preacher Stricken on Way to Church The Hev, Charles E. Bettlcher, of Bev erly, N. J., was stricken with apoplexy at Swanson and Catharine streets yester day, while on his way to preach In tho Old Swedes Church, Swanson street and Washington avenue. He was removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital. No Improve, ment is reported In his condition this morning. Venus lO PENCIL At all dealers 17 different degrees for every known pur poae.

But above all, excelling Venus In a field she necr strovo to shine In, Miss Willetts is popular with girls. When it comes to good fellowship (or whatever the femlnlno equivalent of good fellowship Is) sho would bo content to fuse and sink her personality into the Composite Venus, Helltht Venus Swnrthmorr, Venus Welleftle Venua Hwnrthmoro be-ito Wel.en.ey.... nft in In, ft ft B 1 0 ft. 1.2 1.3 than the averago of both Wellesley and BwarthmoVe. 'for the average Is" not the'" normal not by a long shot. For exam ple, tho average pairs of eyes havo to bo assisted by spectacles, but tho normal pairs ot eyes need no spectacles; the average man Is weak, but tho normal man Is strong. Tho normal Is very rare, nnd at times does not exist except In theory; but the average Is by definition always hanging around, right in tho mlddlo of things, trjlng to drag the normal down to a lower lod. Tho absolutely astounding fact about the Swarthmoro Venus Is that sho has braln3. Not that Swarthmoro girls are not far abovo the average in brains, but no one ever asks of Venus If sho has brains. Ono asks about the Venus things that nro easily ascertainable, for Instance, the chest expansion. It must have been very Interesting that day they got the marble Venus In tho Louvre to expand her chest. How It was dons has never been pub lished, but nt any rate tho marble was not damaged when It took a full Inhala tion In Its marble lungs. But to get back to brains.

Said Miss Lillian Shaw, a graduato ' Sargent, ono of America's most famous physical training colleges, nnd now phjsl c.il training director for girls at Swarth more: "The attitude of tho Swarthmoro girl toward gymnasium work and athletics, I am sure. Is largely responsible for tho splendid physical condition of the young women. Tho girls all tnke their dally exerclso as part of the college work.
