the college woman's longevity, accord-
ing to Dr. Dublin's statement. He
says:
"These favorable figures seem to be'
due to several important causes. First,
there Is the selective effect of the
secondary and, collegiate process.
Those physically unfit to pursue
studies usually drop from the rolls.
College women also come from a
superior home environment; the pre-
sumption is that for nearly all of'
-them economic and domestic circum-1
stances have been such as to conduce
to better health than the average.
These women, during their lives in -a
college environment, also benefit from
periodical examination and from pre-
scribed physical exercises much more
than women in the general population.
After graduation many of them enter
professional pursuits where the risk
of death is at a minimum. Not less
important is the favorable effect ofC
the whole of college education on the
right conduct of life."
Educators Will
Graduate First
Class This Year.
The School of Education which was'
founded in 1921 will graduate its first'
class this June. The department of
physical education of this school has'
26. students enrolled up to date, five
of which will be'graduated from the
first class this year.
Thatthe standards of this school'
mueasure.ip to thoseiof'other school1s'
in the University is evidenced by the
fact that more than 15 applications
;have been received from prominentl
people in the field of plysical educa-i

"Our trip was planned very careful-
ly from start to finish, and we foundJ
that it all worked out wonderfully
well," Miss Swingle said. "We start-I
ed from Ann Arbor, going straight
across Michigan to Chicago, and
then reaching the Yellowstone trail,
which we followed. We visited Yel-1
low stone park, taking the entire trip
through the park, and. started out
again, going south through Wyoming,
Denver, and Utah, and' hitting the,
Yellowstone trail again after making
a complete loup of over 1,000 miles."
"Perhaps the thing whch impress-
ed me most of all on our trip, was the
vast amount of waste lands which we
crossed in the west. We soon learn-
ed "that to the people of these, vast
stretches, every turn in the road
which boasted one house was a town,
land very lace which had three or
four houses, was a city.
"One day we started out to a place
which our road map indicated as a
town of cohsiderable size, bu, on
reaching it we found that a combina-
tion house and store set out in the
burning sands, with no trace of a
shade tree, was our destination.
"At Pendleton, Ariz., we were for-
tunate enough to be present at a big
roundup. In that part of the country
a roundup is a great deal like our
fairs. The 'Indians in their, native
garb and the white people in gala at-
tire come to the town for the big cele
bration. : We~ll organized sports aid
races in wfit'h the Indians and white

Of greatest interest to college women are those frocks that may
be worn under the spring coat on cold days and that are suitable
for wear to class on days when a wrap is runnecessary. Flan-
nels and jerseys fill such needs very adequately and are smart
for all spring class and sports wear. Models regularly priced
up to $29.75 will sell next week at $14.75.
