The son ot tho nobleman was
, brought (or tho third consecutive

i taken to the count's room on tlm
, fourth floor, where ho .was handed
by tho nurse to the outstretched
I arms of the count's mother,
' Peter was In a bad mood, and
not to bo trilled with, Io kicked
and squirmed v hen tho dowager
; attempted to caress him. Evidently
the toys on tho lloor that previous
ly had appeased his a-igcr held no
, fascination for him today. After
thirty minutes of cryin and frrt-
fulness the count decided to re
, move him to the beach.
I Tho dowager, the count, llttlo

' and went to the breakers leach,
where the former 51llllce.nl llogers,

not in sight.
A curious crowd followed at some
r distance.
I The party strolled to a spot whore
all were able to sit in the shade
i nnd have tho youngster play in the
' sand. Little Peter gurgled hap
', pily when freed from the arms of
!'. his protectors. The count leaned
? over and attempted to have the
youngster say, "Pa pa." The child
;.i refused to pay attention. The count
; tried It three or four times. Teter
Constanln kept on playing with out
' as much as a glance toward Ills
f father.
J Tho count turned away from the
j child with a sorrowful look-. The
j,' dowager countess seemed to cat eh
; tho disappointed expression on his
r fate and leaned over to reassure
f him.
The child and party came bark to
r tho hotel at 6 o'clock, where the
J voungster was bundled Into the
t Kogers's limousine and taken to his
mother.

It is learned that Bergdoll was
heavily armed when taken into
custody. He was summoned to the !
mayor's office last Friday and placed j
under arreit for preliminary ex- i

OF TODAY BETTE
Prof. Dodge of Connecticut U
gies Notes Improvement
Collogo students today are more
i eager to exemplify higher ideals
than those of a. generation or more
iago, according to Professor Richard
Hodge, dean of tho two year course
at the Connecticut Agricultural col
lege, n an address to tho members
iof tho New Hritaln Klwanis club at
tho Burrltt hotel today.
He said the college youths of to
day arc more honest, more frank
and are better fellows in a. social
i way with their loaders and in
structors than they were In days
Lgono by. The youths of today, he
explained, are prompted by great
idealism anel do not hesitate to
'bring out tho finer points of their
'nature. Ho said he has observed
Mess tendency to imphaslze the
roughe r part of a boy or girl nature
than in other yiars. in order to
cover the liner points.
A statement made by Professor
Dodge, which brought smiles when
given a contradictory emphasis by a
subsequent speaker, was when ho
.explained that his youth had lacked
lone of tho most important exper
licncos in his early days when his
parents managed to keep him from
(having a nickname. Ho said he did
jnot get a. nickname until he grew
up, and now he realizes that he
! missed something real In his youth,
j Ho spoke of the value of the cus
itom among civic clubs of members
calling each oilier by their nick
names and se.id it, is tho means by
'which men become closer attached
ito each other in a short, time.
The joke of the statement appear
ed when Miss Laura Wleble, indus
i trial secretary of the Y. W. C. A.,
i spoke a few minutes later, and not
! having heard Professor Dodge speak,
'said one of the good things about
'the Blue Triangle club is that It
i helps eliminate the possibility of
! girls giving each other nicknames,
i Professor Dodge declined to com-
mont upon the situation after the
meeting, but was very mucn amnseu.
Dr. Thomas J. Feeney was elected a
! '''t or to succeed Kben Putnam.
