It took all summer to do this job, and I tended capstan at 75 cents a day. I worked each summer at this work till I was 14. In February. 188?.

FLOATING COLLEGE PLANNED FUR GIRLS Undergraduates From Seven Women's Colleges Behind . New Movement NEW YORK. Speeial.i - Col lege girls are to have a "Floating University" too. Excluded from ihe second round-the-world cruise of the S. S. Ityndam, the pioneer college afloat, they have urged and will get a college afloat of their own. Charles II. Phelps, Jr., President of the University Travel Association, sponsors of the unique educational institution on board the S. S. Ityndam, an nounced recently that almost a thousand enquiries and protests bad leen received from women's colleges all over the country, not ably from Vassar, Radcliffe, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Wellesley and Barnard and that the Assoc iation had begun to lay definite plans for a feminine "Floating University" to saU either in Febr uary or the following June. "When the S. S. Kyndam re turned from her pioneer cruise around the world to test the pos sibilities of combining regular classroom study with the educa tion of travel." -Mr. Phelps de clared here today, "we announced on the advice of both faculty and students that the cruise which is to set sail on September 20th will be for men only and limited to 3 75. Co-education had been proved inadvisable under cruise conditions and experience had shown that a smaller number of undergraduates would be wise from an edneational standpoint. "In the broad plan of the 'Floating- University' which we m lieved Would develop, we had al lotted a place for a woman's col lege. We did not feel, however, that the time was ripe to under take that phase of the work. We ( Ci.n t in icl on 7 J Flea Love Studied; Wins Doctor's Degree for Work TOKIO. -CAP.)

His Holiness Vassilios III is shorn of the political powers which the Ottoman sultans per mitted ,the patriarchs, but still holds full spiritual sway over his flock. Bent beneath his 75 years and 60 pounds 'of priceless historic robes magnificently embroidered in gold, Vassilios III conducts solemn mass for the several thou sand Greeks who still reside in Constantinople. At the Greek Easter, -the date of which does not coincide with that of the western church, a cere mony identical to thai which until 1453 was celebrated, yearly in the great church of St. Sophia, takes place in the smaller but also mag nificent church of St. George on the Golden Horn. After solemn mass, during which the -gospel is read in ten languages to symbol ize the universality of the church, the Patriarch gives out 'painted' Easter eggs this year t6 the number of 3(4,000 with his own hands to the Worshippers. , A painting in the patriarch's reception, salon commemorates the historic moment in May, 1453, when Sultan Mohammed the Conqueror, the new Moslem lord of the Christian Byzantine capi tal. gave to the pat riarch of the time and to all patriarchs to come, j the right of continued" leadership over their flocks, i The Conquer-! or and succeeding .saltans even made large yearly imoney,--grants ! to the patriarchs whose political Influence, was considerable until j the day of the Turkish republic. .In. the early 19th century.

(AP) Insects are drawn to flowers by both colqr v and odor, and once at them, are guidetr by form and such mark ings as stripes and dots. - ; That is one of the conclusions reached by Dr. Frances L. Long of the staff of the Carnegie In stitution of 5 Washington, after nine years of, investigation at Al pine Laboratory on Pike's Peak. Their study had its origin in the strange -behavior of a hawk moth, which, 50 years ago;. flew into the window of a scientist and was observed plunging its tongue repeatedly into flower designs woven in tapestry. Experiments undertaken at that time showed-that the hawk-moth vhich caused, them to be started Was not very intelligent, as insects go. It had been assumed that color was the thief attraction of flowers for insects, but a series of tests with artificial flowers and real blossoms, disclosed that few could be fooled by the counter feits, however, skillfully they might be arranged or scented. Drs. Clements and Long, in their study, undertook to deter mine what elements attracted in sects to flowers, the effect of competition among flowers j for insect visitors,, and the ability of the latter to adjust themselves ta new. conditions Bees rarely were, deceived by artificial flowers,' but such insects as did visit them dis closed a markted preference for blue, while red as the least pop ular color. Perfuming and ? fla voring them with honey decreased their attraction.- I "Insect vjsitofs," the scientists found,' "exhibit ; great differences in Ize and 'structure. In skill and industry, as well as its flower pre ference. Like people,, they i are largely controlled by habit and their potential intelligence is like wise often concealed by this fact."

In all . oar boyish play Peu1 Peu Mox . Mox held an important place.

Thtrs equipped, we went forth to ' battle and to conquer everything that offered resistance. ; Before starting bn the story let us Introduce the characters in volved. Peu Peu .Mox Mox was the reigning chief of , the Walla Walla tribe, , He early made the acquaintance of Kev, Jason Lee and placed - his young son in the mission school, where he left him four or five years. The mission people gave the boy the name of Elijah. After his.. jears, spent in the school the young man returned to his tribe. ;The old thief's wife was a Cayuse woman and a sister of Five Crows and Tawato, who were both chiefs, at different times. Archibald McKinlay was chief factor, under Dr. McLough lin. at the. Walla Walla fort at the time of the Incident portray ed. This was at a time when the Indians were vefy restless,, fear ing an influx of white people who would rob them of their lands. They had heard that Dr. Whitman was on the way from the eas't with hundreds of land grabbers. True, Dr. White and Rev. O. Hines had , recently been among 'them and partially pacified them and smok ed the, pipe of peace, with them, yet there was an undercurrent of sua-, picion that all was. not in the In terest of the Indian.
