It is the general belief of those who know conditions, that Mrs. Ava Astor will be abl to realize her ambition.

Slanif has made such Inroads Into the English of the colleso girls that drastic measures to prevent its employment are about to be inaug urated at Wellesley College. The un dergraduates. while deeply deploring: Its usage, are still Its chief offenders. To put a atop to the custom a fine of k nominal sum Is to be levied on all Wellesley girls who are caught using such objectionable ejaculations, the sum thus obtained to go to the stu dent government building fund. "My dear." is slang at Wellesley. Some might not object to that. Hut then there are "celebs." "dewdabs." "piffle." "bata,- "straight credit." "cuts the chunks." "peanut." "crushes." "el. -T. M-." "V.

A "crush" Is a person a girl may fall back upon when her gentleman friend Is out of town. A "pill and "peanut have the same meaning, namely, that of a person who Is not "on the square. A "scream" stands for anything that Is farcical. One Is "lsh dl dab" when she la dressed or "dolled" up. While slang may be much more ex pressive than the other language used by" young college women.

Dillon and Piitrolman Long, of the new "moral squad." arrested a woman early in the evening and charged her with that offense. lou didn't need to kis me before I got the beer for you. she said airily to Dillon when she was brought Into the police station. "I didn't know, but I thought It was all In the game," retorted Dillon, ap pealing to Captain lUley for moral support. The support was refused. "That was not necessary, Dillon," said Captain Riley. "There. I told yon so." retorted the woman. "Now, I m going to get a good lawyer and I am going to fight this case to a finish.

During tho prst month the Twin Falls Logging Company has shipped 400 carloads of logs from their ramps In the vicinity of Yacolt to Fellda.

Starting from a small beginning It has grown in favor and popularity until the demand for it often requires shipments In carload lots. It Is now on sale st almost every drup store and most country cros - road stores' In the I'nited States. There Is no question as to Its merits: In fact, the enormous sale on It has been brought about to a large extent by the personal recommendations of people who have been cured by It. When you use a remedy for a cough or cold and find It far superior to any other that you have ever tried, it Is natural that you should tell your friends of your good fortune. It has become th mothers' favorite for coughs, colds and I croup, as they found that it can always be depended upon, and that it contains no opium or other harmful drugs. Dur ing these years In which we have been making, selling and using this prepa ration we have never known of a single case of a cold resulting In pneumonia when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used, which leads us to believe that it Is a certain preventive of that disease. The. fact that It can be depended upon in every case has crowned It with the success It nJorav TRAGEDIES LINKED WITH LOVE OF GIRL Two Fiances of Miss Baier Are Dead; Repulsed Suitor Destroys Himself. VOICE AND BEAUTY CHARM Police Told Young Woman Had Per sistently Refused Attentions of Man Who Died With Eyes on Her Photograph. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J- May 5. (Special.) That three men who loved Miss Kdna Baier, 6aughter of a wealthy merchsnt here, have died, and a sis ter's death was hastened by worry over the first two deaths, is a coincidence of fatalities that has caused much Inter ested comment here. The third victim was Howard Fisher, of Perrysvllle, Mil., whose death re sulted from Inhaling illuminating gas. Fisher, who was 42 years old, came to Atlantic City on a visit a year ago and while attending services In the First Presbyterian Church first saw Miss Baler. She was leading the choir. He became Infatuated with her beauty and voice. Her friends say she never encouraged his attentions. In a few months he returned to his Maryland home but remained there only a short time. When he came back here some months ago he took an apartment at the Hotel Netperland. Ryes Last See Photograph. He and Miss Baler had been seen together only once or.twlce lately. He went out on the Boardwalk gallery today and had some pictures taken, then returned to his hotel. In his room he tore up all the photographs except one. across the back of which he wrote. "This Is all I could do." Then he sealed all the crevices In the room. Turning on both the gas Jets, he flung himself on his bed. Placing a picture of the girl he loved on a pillow near his head, he waited for death. When he was found at roon Ills eyes were still fixed on Miss Baler's photograph. The young woman was deeply shocked at the news of Fisher's death. Summoned to the office of Captsln of Detectives Whalen. she arrived In her father's motor car. She conferred with Whalen only a few minutes. She told him she hsd constantly refused Fisher's attentions. Two Letter Are Left. Twi. letters figure In the case. One was sent to Miss Baier by Fisher last night. Another, directed to her, was found on his bureau. The police refuse to divulge the contents of the missives. Out of regard for Miss Baier, no in quest will be held. Clarence Albertson. a prominent young lawyer of this city and Assistant County Prosecutor, blew out his brains a few days before he was to have made Miss Baler his wife. He was said to have gone insane while brooding over 111 health. His body was found In his finely appointed boathouse at Ventnor. That tragedy, the second In the young woman's life, occurred two years ago. Ftrat Death la Severe Shock. About six years before that. Miss Baler was engaged to be married to Benjamin Hann. son of iC. F. Hann. a former Councilman. A few weeks prior to the wedding day he became ill with pneumonia, and died. Miss Baler was then only 19 and tjie shock of her be trothed' death had a marked effect on her life. It was several years be fore she recovered her former gayety. Miss Baier is the daughter of J. Leon ard Baler, a wealthy merchant, and is granddaughter of James Henry Mason, millionaire realty broker. She Is closely Identified with church work and moves in the best circles of this city.
