Editorial Correspondence
POUGHKEEPSIE, New York, June 10. Commencement
exercises theoretically are for the honor and glory of the sweet
girl graduates. But after observing them for three days this
theory like many others must be thrown into the ash can. Com
mencement exercises are exclusively for the honor, glory, and
pleasure of the proud and bouncing parents. They get all the
fun there is to get out of these things, while the sweet girl
graduates, get nothing but grief, hard work, and nervous pros
tration. And as they file up, in their sombre, black caps and
gowns to get their final papers, believe you mo they look like
it. Of course the aforesaid caps and gowns are partially respon
sible. For with the possible exception of the habiliments of
inmates of our penal institutions, no garb could be more unbe
coming. A graduate of the famous Vassar Daisy chain, the
members being chosen like bathing beauties for pulchritude
alone will look like a discarded cull from last year's apple
crop, when rigged out in one of these impossible costumes.
There apparently being an unwritten law against resorting to
"make-up," on such a solemn occasion, added to the fact that
the girls have just completed their final examinations, and have
been working night and day, to secure necessary tickets for
their families and friends, and keep them from getting lost in
the shuffle, makes the final spectacle truly a depressing one,
as far as the graduates are concerned.
' e .
In short, it is a terrible ordeal for the sweet girl graduates,
but a Roman holiday for papa, mama and particularly the
children. Fr the latter, unlike their older sisters, have no
responsibility, and no rules to observe or if there arc rules,
there is no one about to enforce them. They can jump in the
gym swimming pool, pick flowers about the campus, or if so
inclined, play tag up and down the chapel aisle. Certainly big
sisters can't attend to them, and
picking out from two or three hundred, the one graduate, they
produced and still bears their name.
This indeed is the chief parental pursuit, and has all the
intriguing qualities of a treasure hunt, a living cross word
puzzle, and the picking out of the guilty party in a line of
suspects, or just as no girl looks well in a cap and gown, so all
look very much alike. Unless the daughter in question happens
to be very fat, or very tall, or a dwarf in short something very
far above or below the average, as the Class of 1934 comes up
the chapel aisle, it takes sharper eyes than usually blink behind
a pair of bi-focals, to readily identify them.
But usually it is done even
and at least one visiting grandpa, who through all the cere
monies extending for three days,
that they saw the young lady they had come thousands of miles
to see,' although the grandpa at
the right one in the baccalaureate pcerade.
It is all very amusing this parental business. To illustrate
we shall pick out the proud parent from Now York City, who
sat at the end of the pew directly opposite to the one we occu
pied. It was hot and muggy, so he wore a white linen suit, car
ried in one hand a large and expensive Panama hat, and to see
better, pushed his horn rimmed spectacles on the caves of his
arid and prespiring forehead. When the organ pealed out the
opening bars of the grand march, and the girls started up the
aisle from the entrance, he like all the others, arose and faced
the oncoming phalanx. As pair after pair passed by ho scanned
each face carefully, and to tell the truth somewhat disapprov
ingly,. Fie was very stern, and didn't seem to like what he saw.
As the procession continued his expression of disapproval, be
came one of open hostility. He actually glared. Then for a
moment he wrinkled his forehead sufficiently to bring the
glasses down on bis nose, but apparently they were clouded by
the moisture, and he plainly showed his irritation, by grabbing
them off, wiping them hurriedly, and placing them high up on
his forehead again. During this process one couplo had passed
by without the proper. inspection, and he was furiously glancing
at their backs, with an expression
Realizing this was wasting

bobbed on slowly. Then suddenly a complete transformation.
His eyes woro far down the lino, but needless to say they were
good eyes.
"There she was"--no doubt,
expression vanished as suddenly and completely, as if some
invisible hand had snatched off one mask to replace it at once
with another.
Did "papa" smile and did he
consort, and did four eyes instead of two, beam effulgently
and affectionately upon a certain
bing under its tasseled cap, as it
smiles, telephatio messages of
nowhere else, until the littlo lady had passed on, and only her
sombroly draped back was visible.
Ah what relief, the march was not half over, but for
him, not only was the march over, but everything for that par
ticular performance was over. He folded up his program where
long before he had picked out his daughter's name, put it in
his coat pocket, wiped his glasses, replaced them, turned back
to face the chnncel again, squared his shoulders, and assumed
an expression of extreme boredom. From then on he exhibited
all the signs of uneasiness and irritation, displayed by a small
boy, compelled to attend a morning church service, against his
will.

Speaking of the famous Daisy chain. This appears to be
THE big event at Vassar, which is rather strange. For it is a
very vast, magnificent and highly INTEIXKCTUAL institu
tion, yet as above mentioned, girls only mako the Daisy Chain
because they arc beautiful (or more nearly so than their fel
low classmates). Tim members of the Senior class ehooso the
elect of the Daisy Cliain from the members of the Sophomore
class, after a duly appointed committee makes the necessary
inspection. In its social importance, tho day of selection only
surpasses Tap day at Yale, when the selections for tho seuior
societies arc made, and those who are NOT tapped have been
known to faint, and even quit college the day after.

We will say this. Vassar is full of beautiful girls, and if
they would only abandon the cap and gown, this fact would be
more generally acknowledged. The members of this year's Daisy
Chain, would have stirred the enthusiasms of the most blase
Hollywood director. And they wore pretty, becoming dresses,
and unlike the poor seniors, seemed to enjoy themselves. That
is all but perhaps one of them a little girl who happened to
bear the end of one chain, and found it a difficult thing to do.
Nothing surprising in this, the daisy chain weighs about 600
pounds which divided among 24 girls, makes the burden per
capita over 25 pounds. Moreover the daisies this year were late,
and most of them had to be picked from President Roosevelt's
Hyde Park estate, several miles north of the college. For some
reason which may or may not have anything to do with the
A. A. A., the Roosevelt daisies were full of strange insects and
a million or more mosquitoes. So between toting the end of a
GOO pound chain and fighting mosquitoes, and whatever types
of insect life habitate this section of the Hudson River valley,
tho pretty little girl in question didn't particularly enjoy the
afternoon. However, she made the Daisy Chain and that is
worth a lot of suffering, and puts her picture in the Vassar
archives for all time!

HOW TO DEAL WITH STINGS AND BITES
Mosquito bites may be relieved by
touching with aromatic spirits of
nmmonlR. or peroxide of hydrogen,
or lodln, or by
rubbing with a
bit of wet soap,
or by sponging
with a tepid so
lution of a hand
ful of saleratus
(sodium bicar
bonate) in a
quart of water.
Bedbug bites
ditto.
For relief of
the stings of
bees, ants and
wusps, immediate toucnlng of ' the
spot with peroxide, or the applica
tion of an emulsion made by mix
ing and shaking thoroughly together
one ounce of crude petroleum, two
teaspoonfula of water, a good pinch
or two of common soap powder or
chips, and forty grains of lodln.
Wood ticks lodge on the skin, In
sert proboscis and suck blood till
they become swollen to the size of
small peas. Do not brush them off
and leave the proboscis burled in the
skin. Apply oil of peppermint or
turpentine or tobacco juice and the
tick will loosen and fall off.
Jiggers are minute bright red
mites that attack the skin of berry
patch workers or persons who go
among tall weeds and grass late in
the summer. A warm salt water bath
as soon as possible after exposure,
or application of sulphur ointment
will kill the mites In the skin. Wear
gaiters and sprinkle flowers of sul
phur In the stockings before en
tering fields or berry patches.
A bite by the black widow spider
Is often a serious emergency and re
quires Immediate medical attention.
No succesful antidote or remedy has
been developed. The best treatment
Is Immediate Incision and sucking
the wound, together . with general
stimulants.
Rattlesnakes are the most com
mon venomous snakes In this coun
try. Bites by the other two venom
ous snakes of North America cop
perheads and moccasins, are com
paratively rare. Nine times out of
ten rattlesnake bite proves a minor
injury. The best treatment Is im
mediate injection of antlvenln int..-)
the tissues about the fang marks. If
no antlvenln is at hand the next
best treatment is immediate criss
cross incisions with a razor blade,
needle or piece of glass, to encour
age bleeding, then sucking the
wound, then application of a tight
bandage or tourniquet around the
limb above the bite. But this must
be loosened for half a minute every
five minutes. If the emergency kit
contains potassium permanganate,
either inject a wine colored solution
about the bite or rub some of the
powdered permanganate Into the
wound after sucking. The victim
must not run or otherwise exert
himself. Coffee or tea Is the best
stimulant. Aromatlo spirits of am
monia Is good too.- In no circum
stances should whiskey be given. The
antlvenln is effective against not
only the rattlesnake venom but also
against that of copperhead or moc
casin. i Dog bite, In my opinion, 'should
be treated as any other -round. X

those of rabies, then by all means

MRS. L. R. WYCOFP. of Sac City,

plets, increasing the total number of
her family to nine. 8he announces
that she Is proud of tbem, but at
the same time feels sorry for them
because they won't have the privi
leges they should.
Their lather works for the state
highway commission and earns $10 a
week, and what she means is that
on a salary of thla size they can't
give their children many of the so
called advantages.
TRUE enough.
Still, If they can give them
healtby bodies, good common sense
and willingness to work hard In or

under a email headline, this dispatch
from Madrid, In Spain:
"The Austrian Express today atruck
an auto bus near Fola de Oordon,
killing 18 persons and Injuring alx
critically and four slightly."
That la to say, ONE railroad acci
dent clalma more Uvea than the three
airplane accidents, but the three air
plane accidents get the big headlines.
The reason Is that the airplane la
new and spectacular, and the train
la old and familiar. It la the new
and spectacular that Impresses us.
SPEAKING of trains, you read a
while back of the record-breaking
run of the new Burlington atream
lined train from Denver to Chicago,
and were properly Impressed, in all
probability, by the speed attained.
The thing that was really impres
sive about the run, however, la the
fact, which haa been reported alnce
that time In the papers, that the
run waa made on $16 worth of fuel.
That means that these new light
weight, fuel-oll-drlven, streamlined
trains are going to be able to bring
