THE GIRL WITHOUT A MAN Stal-rinfe: Faye Gilmore The Greatest, Picture in Years. Miss Gray Receives Doolittle Award Bugrville, New York, May 20.- Miss Sybil Gray. teacher of Zoolosry at the University of Bugville, was awarded the Doolittle Prize at the annual banquet of the Associated Boilermakers, in New York last night. The presentation was made by Senator Jones of New York who commended Miss Gray on her until'- ing efforts in the field of science.

Miss Gray who has success- fully raised fishworms for the last ten years declares that after years of study she has found that fish- worms do not sim: as is commonly thought but produce a so-called rasp- imz' noise by rubbing certain bristles of their body against ihe small Deb- bles near the door of the burrows. Qualified persons admit that Miss Gray knows her fishworms, having: published a number of books on the relation of Hshworms to man.

Paris, France, May 20 tSpecialJ4- Cuba Roads in Good Condition Yesterday afternoon, Street Com- missioner Clinton Smith, hauled out the city tractor, tightened up a few bolts, gave the crank a turn and set about putting the side streets in a navigable condition. As a result of Clinton's tireless efforts, dust is once more following in the wake of the automobiles las they glide up from the by-roads on to the state high- roadsl. Ever since the heavy rains last fall the streets have been almost im- passable even to the rare buggies which now and then appear from no one knows where. Many citizens have voiced their opinion that never since the days of Marshall Yocum has the city of Cuba been so fortunate in its selection of a street commissioner. Yesterday, a number of pleased citizens approached Marshall Smith and rewarded him with a five pound box of cranberries. New Factory in Cuba Soon Tuesday morning, two men rep- resenting Donaldson Gumbo Co., were in Cuba looking over a pos- sible site for the new Gumbo fac- tory to be erected here. A suitable location was found near the school house, which incidentally will be of value to the students. The plans for the factory are the results of years of tireless efforts on the part of Mr. Donaldson. Ever since graduation from Cuba High School, Mr. Donaldson has devoted his spare time to the devolpment of Gumbo. It was while he was an energetic student at Cuba High that he first conceived the idea of a gum rejuvenator. Being a devoted chew- er of gum, he soon noticed that it lost its Havor after several hours of vigorous chewing. Accordingly he set about to devise a rejuvenator whereby the chewing length of the gum could be greatly lengthened. and Gumbo is the result. Hereafber when a student finds that the gum on which he has been vociferously chewing for the last hour has lost its tang, all he needs do is sprinkle a few drops of Gumbo on the chew and then resume his chewing with gusto. IGumbo comes in two oz. bottles which are exactly vest pocket sizej. New Editor For McCall's The many friends of Miss Matilda Beam who have been watching with interest her progress in the field of journalism will be glad to know that she has accepted the editorship of McCall's Magazine. Miss Beam s promotion comes as a result of years of labor in the magazine field. Upon graduating from Cuba Com- munity High School in the Class ol' '28, Miss Beam immediately accept- ed the editorship of the style sec- tion of McCall's. Thereafter her progress was merely a matter ol routine. ' Reverend Branson Lecture Touring Ookiblooi, East Africa, May 12 fSpecialJ-The Reverend Glasco Branson of the East Ookiblooi Mis- sionary Society delivered an inter- esting lecture on the salvation of skins, here last night before a large gathering of the shady brethren of the South Ookiblooi Church. This lectures which are being given by 1 was the third of a series of four' the Reverend on the relation of soap and water to the skin. The meeting came to a somewha' disturbing close when Reverend Branson reaching the climax of his speech mounted the table at his side and demanded fin those famous sou' stirring tonesl if any one present could inforrn him as lo the proper lcngth of a man's legs. The dis- turbing element appeared in the person of a dusky cherub who tim- idly voiced- Please Mister Parson. a man's legs should be long enough to reach from his body to the ground. ,New Dean of Women University of Illinois Champaign, Illinois, May 21. At the last, meeting of the board of trustees of the University of Illinois. Miss Arabclle Millard was elected Dean of Women to succeed Miss Collins who resigned last week. The appointment of Miss Millard, says the Champaign Jester, met with un- iversal approval from the women students. lUpon hearing the news of the selection a large delegation of women marched to Miss Millar-d's home to congratulate her and extend their good wishes.l . -'Q TQ ffl . l 1 l 1 I Mahlon Mowery, Champion U. S. hurdler, won a close heat in the finals of the 220 yd. hurdles from Carthiers of England. timef22.6 seconds. Paris, France, May 20 iSpecialJ- Another Olympic Meet has g0TlFf down in history, with the United States as in years past, again the winner. The U. S. athletes led Great Britain 1115 to 140. France came third with a total of 76 ponits. while Sweden followed fourth with 49. The most interesting event of the day was the 220 yd. hurdles. With the removal of Mowery, the out- standing American athlete, the hon- ors in this event had been generally conceded to Carthiers of Great Brit- ain. Mowery received a bad sprain yesterday while high-jumping against Olson of Sweden and was forced to retire from the day's ao- tivities. Olson was defeated in the finals, however, by Gimming of Ens- land. which brought the total of Great Britain points to 135 com- pared with the scant lead of 138 held by the United States. Realizing that if Carthiers won the hurdles. the meet would go to Great Britain. Mowery donned his track shoes and came limping on the track to make a one supreme effort to keep the lead he.d by the United States. His time greatly slowed by a marked limp, Mowery ran a poor second until the last 20 yards when he unloosed a desperate burst of speed which carried him to the taile a bare foot ahead of Carthiers. The winning of this event garnered the United States enough points to with- stand the winning ofithe two mile race by Great Britain. emerging vic- torious 145 to 140. Crofton High Wins Fast One from Dayton Dayton, Ohio.-After three-quart- ers of nerve-racking struggle, Coach Ted Black's Crofton High Basketeers linaliy emerged victorious over the locals 43 to 27 here last night. Arriving two hours late because of bad roads, the Crofton boys display- ed a style of ball that held the root- ers spellbound throughout the entire game. , However in the fourth quarter the local's defense broke and the visiting players sifted through at will. Much credit is due Coach Black for the favorable showing made by the team.
