Worn and weary as the result of a long succession of family troubles, Mrs. May C. Johnston, at her country home, “The Crags,’ on the Meramec River, near Fern Glen, anxiously awaits the slightest word of news concerning her husband, Rowjand L. Johnston, former Prosecuting Attorney. of St. Louis Coun- ty, who. is if as critical condition at the Baptist ~ Hospital, Garrison and Franklin avenues. To a Post-Dispatch reporter who called on Mrs. Johnston at “The Crags,” she refused to discuss the mysterious arrest and release of Miss Mildred Kurtenacker, whose imprisonment at Clayton, Thurs- day afternoon, was followed Friday by a $100,000 damage suit against those said to have caused the arrest. “You might talk to me till dooms- day,” she said pleasantly, ‘“‘but I would not say anything about this affair.” Anticipates Surprise. Her son, Lyle T. Johnston, 14 years old, commented briefly on the case. “IT believe it was wrong for Miss Kur- tenacker to have been put into a cell with negresses,’’ he said. ‘I hope she gets what’s coming to her. Everybody will be fooled when the truth about this affair comes te ght.’’ Mrs. Johnston, who is a blonde of medium height and slight figure, was neatly dressei in a gown of white lawn. She appeared extremely nervous, this condition being due, she said, to the many telephone calls received. “T answer everyone of them,’’ she said, ‘“‘in the hope of finding ‘out some- thing about my husband’s condition.”’ Mrs. Johnston's suit for separate maintenance, filed June 27 at Clayton, has been withdrawn by her attorney, T. J. Rowe, at her request. She did not ®. te prosecute»th¢ case, ‘ while her husband@is so itt, ie Said. Johnston’s’ hervous breakdawn came a short time after this suit was filed. He now is in such a condition that no one but his physician and nurses can talk to him, it was said at the hospital. Dr. Charles G. Chaddock of 3706 Del- mar boulevard, who is attending John- ston at the hospital, told a Post-Dis- patch: reporter the patient’s condition seemed to be slightly improved. “He can see no one, however,’’ Dr. Chaddock said, “because of questions about the affair he might become ex- cited and would be unable to talk co herently, and, if interviewed, might say something he did not mean.” ~ When asked the nature of Johnston's illness, Dr. Chaddock said: “I have nothing to say about that.”’ Miss Kurtenacker’s whereabouts at présent can not be ascertained. She spent all of Friday at the office suite occupied jointly by Johnston, George Bb. Webster and William J. Grodzki, lawyers, on the fourth floor of the Lig- gett Building, but reporters were not permitted to talk to her. Webster said her physician had forbidden her to re- ceive newspaper men. She could not be found later at an address on Russell av- enue, where Webster said he understood she resided. GENERALLY FAIR AND RISING TEMPERATURE THE TEMPERATURES.

e MRS ELIZABETH SCHIELD aid DAUGHTER MYRTLE eae Judge Will Reduce to 12 Months Sentence of Man Who Stole — to Feed Family.

The death of Mrs. Elizabeth Schield of bichloride of mercury poisoning has caused. justice to be tempered with ercy. in. the- case _ of. her hus- band, William Sehield, jn: jail. at Clay ton under a 10-year . sentence” for highway robbery. Following a. plea for clemency by missionary workers Saturday Judge Wurdeman of the St. Louis County Circuit Court announced that. early next week he will commute Schield’s sentence from 10 years in the penniten- tiary to one year in jail. Judge Wurdeman said he believed that if Schield were forced to serve a, long penitentiary sentence under existing cir- cumstances the loss of his wife and the hopelessness of his position would cause him to become a confirmed criminal. Schield fell ina faint at noon Satur- day when he looked on his dead wife’s, face #®an undertaking establishment at Pendleton avenue and the Suburban tracks. He was taken back to jail at Clayton when revived. Schield wept when the Rev. W. M. Langtry broke the news of his wife’s death to him Saturday. On .an order issued by Judge Wurdeman, Schield, under guard of two deputy sheriffs, was permitted to go to an undertaking es- tablishment to see his wife's body. An inquest into the death of Mrs. Schields was held by the Coroner of &t. Louis Saturday.’ Mrs. Schields dicd pro- testing that she had taken the poison by mistake, and not with «he intention of killing herself. The Coroner, after hearing the evi- dence of witnesses, was unable to de- termine whether Mrs. Schields took the poison accidentally or intentionally, and so rendered a verdict. The Rev. T. A. Fanning of 441A West Belle place, an Episcopal Hospital mis- sionary, told a Post-Dispatch reporter that he was at Mrs. Schield’s home, 6123, Easton avenue, a few minutes before she took the poison. He said she had a blinding headache, and that in her conversation with him she gave no inti- mation of a destre to end-her Hfe. He saav three bottles of medicine on a shelf, he said, and it would have been easy for her to get the wrong bottle. The minister said that no money was available for the funeral expenses, amounting to $100. The funeral was held Saturday from the Watkins undertaking. parlors at Pendleton avenue gnd»Syb-. urban tracks. Fanning has obtained, letters and cer- tificates from persons for whom Schields ! worked at different .times,,. testifying to his good character. He was charged with robbing Miss Rose Stjlle, cashier of a grocery company, the afternoon of May 20. He said his wife and child were starving, and that he committed the robbery to get money’ to buy food ‘for them. The news'of Mrs. Schields’ death was broken to the imprisoned husband | | Saturday morning.

John Jarzonbeck, 19 years old, residing at Tenth street and Cass avenue, was run down and dangerously injured by an automobile at. Eleventh street and Cass avenue shortly before noon Sat- urday. The driver immediately in- creased his speed and rushed west on Cass avenue, leaving his victim helpless in the street. Half an hour later, through the quick work of M. J. Slattery, telephone boy at the Dayton Street Police Station, Pa- trolman Theodore Etienne of that sta- tion, at the end of an exciting chase, arrested a man whose. automobile bore the number which witnegses said was on the car that struck Jarzonbeck. Jarzonbeck is at the city hospital. His scalp is badly torn and the physi- cians say he probably has a fracture of the skull. He could give no in- formation concerning the accident ex- cept that he was struck as he crossed Cass avenue. Witnesses Took License Number. Witnesses told the police the auto- mobile bore the license number 10,960; and the police of all the stations were notified to be on the lookout for a car with this number. Just as Slattery fin- ished taking the message for his station, he saw:a machine rush south on Jef- ferson avenue and turn west into Day- ton street in front of the police station. Slattery ran to the door and saw that the car had license tag No. 10,96. He called to Etienne, who was in the office, and instructed him to overtake the auto- mobile and arrest the driver. Etienne ran on foot to Garrison ave- nue, where. he impressed another auto- mobile -into. service. This car broke down after going a block, and the po- liceman’ proceeded on foot again. The automohile he was following had smal) tires: and, in passing from freshly sprinkled.streets to dry ones, it left a trail the policeman easily followed. Caught in Another Aute.

Beneficiary of Murder, in Auto Short Distance Away. By Leased Wire From the New York; Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 20.—Wher District murder he found he had on these charges: : That Herman Rosenthal was murdered on the night before he was to have substantiated charges of grafting against Police Lieutenant Becker by a gang of East Side thugs procured for that pur- pose by Jack Rose, the gambler, who had intimate relations with Becker and who had been put under -pressure by Becker to see that Rosenthal’s mouth wae stopped. That the gain from Rosenthal’s death was greatest to one man, and to that man Rose owed a great obligation. That Rose was a leading spirit in ‘‘get- ting’ Rosenthal, but that he had ar- ranged his plans so he would not be present at the actual crime. Murderers Hired With Money. That members of the Jack Zelig gang of gun men and black-jackers were se- lected for the job at the usual market rates for such work which is said to be $2000, This epitomizes the attitude of the Dis- trict Attorney and of the police, and it is the ground on which the investiga- tion is proceeding and upon which the prosecution is to rest. Developments have changed. the situa- tion from theories and beliefs to actual proof and legal evidence which, with the addition of certain details now being obtained, brings the case weil on the road to indictments and trials for mur- der, even though the actual murderers are yet to be arrested. A remarkable coincidence was discov- ered as to Lieut. Becker’s and Jack Rose’s proximity to each other as weli as the murder scene shortly before the killing. Becker says he dropped Jack Sullivan from his automobile in Forty- second street, between Sixth avenue and Broadway, at 1:30 a. m. Rose says he, left’ his automobile ac Sixth avenue and Forty-second stréet to go to “Bridgey’’ Webber’s gambling rooms at 1:30. The gray::murder. car halted in. Forty-third street::across from the Metropole at T: 40. Rose Arranged Surrender, Rose surrendered at police héadquar- ters Thursday afternoon. Lieut. Beck- er and a detective with a warrant for his arrest had gone to Far Rockaway after him Wednesday night. Rose ob- jected to being arrested or to going to. headquarters with Becker and the de- tectives, so it was arranged that he Should appear there alone the next morning. Both Becker and Rose deny they had been to Far Rockaway or had seen each other. Threatening letters have begun to pour in upon Aaron Levy, lawyer for the murder-car chauffeurs, Lieut. Becker, District Attorney Whitman and others connected with the case. From William Shapiro,.driver of the ‘murder car,” District Attorney Whit- man and private detectives employed by him have learned that-after the shoot- ing the murderers loafed around the scene of the crime with no apparent: fear of arrest.. He said that after the men shot Rosenthal they put their guns in their pockets and stood around for a time. After a while, Shapiro says, they walked leisurely over to the car and got aboard. The chauffeur said he worked with the motor, hoping the po- lice would come, but that one of the murderers pointed a gun at him and said: ‘‘Quit monkeying and roll along.’”’ Shapiro said the car made only 15 miles an bour and he did not see any chase being made. to capture them.

This plan was decided on today after Senator Joseph M. Dixon, Col. Roose- velt’s, campaign manager, had arrived and. conferred with a number of Pro- gressive leaders, Frank W. Knox, for- mier Western manager ‘for Col. Roose- velt; who had been working for the “stub’’ ticket plan, at once announced he was in favor of whatever the for- mer President wanted, and Senator Dix- on made it plain that the Colonel de- sired a complete new ticket. “Nothing but a full new ticket will suit Col. Roosevelt,” Senator Dixon said. “He wants to make the whole fight in Michigan or none. People throughout the country are demanding a new party and *they shall have it.’’ The resolutions, which were not com- pleted until early this morning, were to be submitted to Senator Joseph M.

Secretary of State Assures Sen- ator Stone,, Consul Is Instructed to Watch Case. PRISONER AN EX-SOLDIER St. Louisan Charged With Mur- der in Honduras Subject of . High Praise From Comrade. The case of Courtlandt B. Van Sickler, former St. Lotisan, to which the at- tention of Missouri's two Senators and, through them, of the State Department, was called by the Post-Dispatch, is the subject of a letter from Secretary of State Knox to Senator Stone. A copy of the letter reached the Post-Dispatch Sat- urday. Van Sickler fs held in Truzille, Hon- durag, on a murder charge, and Las com- plaimed, tn letters to his St. atives, that he has no cot, pound weight is fastehed to his kle, that the Judge who is to has shown prejudice against him, that the acting United States consula agent has refused to call on him ~ . The matter was communicated by rate eSeS ees i : diplomatic authorities, Stone took the information by the Post-Dispatch to the State partment, and found that although crdimate officials of the department h ative to the case of Courtiandt B. Van Sickler, imprisoned at Tryxi:lo, Hon- duras, charged with murder. “In further confirmation of the com- munication by telephone between thia department and your office on July 16, I have the honor to inform you that from reports received by the department from the American Consul at Ceiba, Hon- duras, it appears Shaw, an American attorney, was killed by Mr. Van Sickler on June 6, 1912, following a quarrel between the two men, and that shortly after the deed was committed Mr. Van Sickler was placed in custody at Truxiilo. “According to information recaived by the department it appears that the local Judge ordered chains placed on the accused in order to prevent his escape, and that this official deemed this pre- caution absolutely necessary, owing to the insecurity of the local jail. “Under date of June 2%, 1912, a letter was received by the department from Mr. Van Sickler in which he complained of the fact that he was kept in chains and requested the department to make representations in his behalf to the Gov- ernment of Honduras. A copy of Mr. Van Sickler’s letter was transmitted by the department to the Consul at Celba with instructions to send a copy of this ommunication to the American Consular Agent at Truxillo and to direct him to investigate the citizenship of the 4a¢- cused (a matter regardug which the department was not advised), and, in case it should appear that he was an American citizen, to render him such assistance as the facts and circunm- stances of the case might warrant. “Mr. Van Sickler was advised by the department of the instructions to the Consul at Celba, calling atterition to the complaints which appear to have been made by Mr. Van Sickler against the Honduranean authorities and the acting Consular Agent at Truxilio and directing the Consul to investigate fully the present status of the case and to report to the department regarding the matter, and also to keep himeelf advised regarding the trial of the prisoner, ‘The Consul was also advised by the department that while the Honduranean authorities properly may and should take all necessary precautions t6 as- sure the accused's detention pendinx hie early trial for the crime char#ed. he should not, of course, be subjected to treatment which is cruel and uniec- essarily severe, “I have the honor to be, sir.

ON RESULT OF AUGUST PRIMARY Former Senator Collins Offers to véager $1000 on Cowherd Against the Field. BOLTE IS SECOND CHOICE Hank Weeke Offers Odds on Kiel for Sheriff and Slater for Administrator.

The St. Louis betting fraternity has turned its attention to the Augus and varied arf. mary election. The larg@ field of candidates is bri: sporting proclivities of wealthy politi- e'-as. Former State Senator John P. Collins is a:nong those who believe that VWill'am 8. Cowherd receive the Democratic nomination for Governor. $1°00 to bet at even money on ‘nst the field,’’ said Collins. “The Majcr men seem to ‘ike talk !ut that’s a cheap commodity. My judg- ment of the situation |: based on re- ports I have received from political frierds in all parts of the State. These reports lead me to believe that Cowherd will come to St. Louis with a substantial majority. But for these who think to the contrary I have plated $1000 on de- posit for a little wager and know where gfeveral thousand more can be had on the same terms.” Form: bookmakers who dabble now and then in the political game are ask- ing 3 to 2 on Cowherd but are willing to bet even money that Bolte will be the second man in the rc:e in St. Louis: Another popular bet is that vames A. Houchin will not carry a single bt. Louis ward. On the Republican side the odds are 5 to 1 that John C. swicKinley will be the Republican nominee for Governor. City Treasurer Leon Quick, who is running against him, is not thought to have any strength outside of St. Louis. Hank Wee2ke, Republic: 1 committes- man from the Eighteenth Ward, is of- fering $100 to $70 that Henry Kiel will be the Republican noOminc- for Sheriff. J» the race for Public Administrator, Frank M. Slater, chairman of the City Committee, is the Weeke favorite. Slater seems to have the backing of a majority of his fellow committeemen, In additie= to that of Charles (Cap) Troll ‘and Ha: + Troll, the present Adminis- trator. He has been a frequent visitor recently at Troll’s offices in the Se- curity Building. With the entry of Thomas B. Harvey into the Democratic contest for Circuit Attorney, John P. Leahy and E. J. Mc- Cullen are finding it difficult to make headway. McCullien is boasting that he has the support of 20 of the 28 members of the City Committee. An informal can- vas of the committee fails to show any such McCullen strength, politicians say. One of the Democratic leaders re- marked Saturday that it is about time for the party to get away from voting for candidates on sentimental grounds. Harvey's superior record as a Prose- cutor and Judge is acknowledged by his Democratic opponents. He has re- fused, however, to make a scramble for the nomination. The fact that he has gone to Port Huron, Mich., for a week has be:2n seized upon by McCullen to attack Har- Vey as the “absentee candidate.”’ But Harvey's friends say they are ready ‘for & showdown on the merits of their re- Spective ‘candidacies. McCullen wus graduated from a St. Louis law schouwl three years ago and is little known among members of the bar. Harvey has been practicing law in St. Louls 80 years.

WOMAN LOOKS FOR MOTOR CYCLE THIEF SHE OVERPOWERED Mrs. Frances Wilson Has Clew to Owner of Sky-Blue Ma- chine That Burglar Used.

A .sky-blue motor cycle and a mys- terlous tip given by a young woman whose name she will not divulge, jare the clews on which Mrs. Frances Wil- son, a music teacher, relies to capture @ young man whom she overpowered and prevented from robbing her Apart- ments at 1251 Blackstone avenue. Act- ing as her own detective, Mrs. Wilson started on the scent of the blue motor cycle Saturday. Mrs. Wilson told the police that she was in her apartments at 2:30 p m. Friday when a young man rode up to the curb on the blue motor cycle. She saw him alight. A few. minutes later she heard a step on the stairs. The next development was startling. The young man peeped into the room where Mrs. Wilson was reading. “O, excuse me,” he. said and started to retreat. Mrs. Wilson pursued him. As she went through the room in which she had first seen the man she noticed that her jewel case containing $1200 worth of gems was open, she says. She grappled with the motor cycle burglar. He tried to wrest himself from her grasp, but she held him tightly and overpowered him. Mrs. Wilson says the burglar was at her mercy, but no one responded to her cries for help. Regaining his strength the burglar threw Mrs. Wilson against a wall and ran down the stairs and escaped on Lis motor cycle. Fifteen minutes after the burglar sped away a young woman friend who lives in St. Louis County visited Mrs. Wilson. When told of the attempted burglary the young woman exclaimed: “Why, a young man who exactly an- swers that description has just moved next door to my. home. He has a blue motor cycle, too.” This is the clew Mrs. Wilson is fol- lowing. DEATH OF MAN TO BE INVESTIGATED Wife Thinks. Husband, Found Dying, Couldn’t Have Spent All His Money.

July 16, and 4.30 p. m., the same day, when he was found dying from car: bolic acid poisoning in a lot at Natural Bridge road and Cora avenue, is being investigated by the police. Mrs. Haegerly says that when her husband left home he seemed to be in a cheerful mood. He had somethin z more than $2 at the time, and Mrs, Haegerly gave him a $20 bill. At 4:30 P. m. the same day Patrolman Mc- Cann found Haegerly on the lot, dying. When searched at the hospital, Haeger- ly’s effects consisted of 28 cents and a few trinkets. Mrs. Haegerly believes her husband had no opportunity to spend all his money before the police- man found him.

TOKIO, July 2.—The Emperor's con- dition ‘at 8 o'clock this afternoon was so critical that the ministers of state were assembled at the palace and the announcement was made that.

The Prince was among the fitst to be officially notified by tele- graph of the Emperor's illness. It became known today that His Maj- esty was unconscious from his illness yesterday.

Blames Women s Fas- hions for the Murder of Julia Connors GREELEY, Colo. July 20. R. G. STANLEY HALL, dD president of Clark Uni- versity, Worcester, Mass., in an interview here to- day, expressed his belief that the murder of little Julia Con- ners by Nathan Swartz in New York may be traced indirectly ‘to the style of women’s cloth- ing in vogue today. Said Dr. Hall: . “While this is an extreme case, to my way of thinking the reason given by Swartz opens up a wide field for careful study. The present-day fash- fons arouse in the minds of men, and particularly young boys, a feeling of sex consciousness,’ In the magazine section of tomorrow’s Sunday Post-Dis- patch a page, under the title, “Are Tight Skirts Making Girls of Today Immodest?” is devot- ed to a discussion by well- known St. Louis society and professional men and women of this question, raised recently by an editorial in “American Medicine,” a journal of recog- nized authority among the medical’ profession. Some of those interviewed take the view advanced by Dr. Hall; others hold that the fashions of today not only do not indicate a de cline of maidenly modesty, but are also the most sanitary and convenient women have worn since the Garden of Eden epi- sode.

Relatives of Israel Gottesmann of 912 North Ninth streeet, a wool mer- chant, who killed himself in a room at a Philadelphia’ hotel Friday, learned by dispatches Saturday that Gottesmann gave way to despair a few moments too soon. relative was the motive of his self: destruction. His death was discoverec when the debtor appeared at the ho- tel with the money to cancel the obligation. This information confirmed the sus- picions’ of Gottesmann’s relatives in St. Lowis when they were told by 4 Post-Dispatch reporter of his death. Gottesmann’s son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel J. Rovics, said they were convinced he had killed himself. He told them wher departing from St. Louis that he might: do so, and left papers, written in Hebrew, which were to be opened in case of his death, they said. Gottesmann told one of the clerks at Green’s Hotel, in Philadelphia, where he was stopping, Thursday afternoon, that he would be ruined unless he could col- lect the debt, the dispatches say. He had a talk with the debtor that night and seemed greatly depr essed. When the debtor called the nevt aft- ernoon: with the money, he found Got- tesman’s room locked. William Gladden. a house detective for the hotel, brok: the door down and found him dead. be- side him was an empty bottle which | contained had been dead only uin the noison.

Democratic Nominee for Vice-President Plans to Ward Off Day When State Must Take Control of Juveniles. ‘By Thomas R. Marshall, Governor of Indiana and Democratic Nominee for Vice-President. HE home, if a proper one, is the T place for the boy. There he can obtain mental and moral educa- tion, observe ideals and develop ideas. It rarely happens that a boy in a home deliberately goes wrong. It is perhaps necessary, however, that I should define a home. The grade of its material surroundings, if cleanly, counts but little. If it is a place where the father returns to eat and drink and sleep and swear it is not a home, no difference what other advantages it

The Boys’ Club seeks to take the boys off the street and away from the temptations of a great city. may possess. If the mother is anxious to get rid of the duties and responsibil- ities of motherhood, and stays only be- cause of.necessity and seeks every op- portunity to shift her children onto the Sunday school or the day school or the neighbors and is more interested in the big chappies who watch her along tne avenue than in the little chap who call her mother, then the pl&te she rules is not a home. It may be humble in its character, rented from week to week, narrow in its quarters and poorly furnished, but if it is = place where one man and one wom- an believe the greatest happiness on earth to be, if they realize that there opportunity exists to train up in the te .ets of our most holy faith a boy for useful « .izenship, if it is a place where mo sacrifice is too great, where hope smiles and love sweetens every duty, then that humble place is an American

_ home. Real Homes Not Increasing. NFORTUNATELY for the good of U the republic these homes are not in the numerically increasing ‘land. T:.> constant trend of population from the country to the city, the vast growth of manufacturing industries, the high cost of living and the cos: of high living, are putting the fathers and moth- e-3 of the land in bondage. Deprived of time and opportunity to look after their boys, they must needs let them grow wild. Under such cir- cumstances the boys turn to the street's and alleye and uninclosed commons of our great cities. Theoretically speaking, the family and the home have a right to their own doys; theoretically speaking, the family and the home are responsible for the nurture and training of these boys; and, theoretically speaking, it is nobody's tusiness whether they turn out well or fll; but here again conditions force our theories down. Another unfortunate condition of our present day civilization, induced largely by the influx to the cities of our popu- lation and the ever widening charm be- tween the immensely rich and the un- utterably poor, is the social life .in many of our churches today. We can- not say with truth that we Christians love each other to the extent that our churches are units of Christian social- ism and that the members, without re- gard to their social standing, their edu- - ational advantages or their material surroundings, meet upon a common !evel with a genuinely mutual feeling that al! are the children of the self-same God and that each is interested in the ma- f sedtal. social and religious welfare of » the other. Tt may be stated that almost univer- pally the Jew and the Roman Catholic ' @o look after thelr own, and many —~ ..churches in the various Protestant de- * &j numinations do as Well; but Protestant shurches there are, and in numbers too P ” ‘prent, where those of a certain grade '- tw woctety merely meet and go through

bility from the home and which lessens the zeal of the church is distinctly in- imical to the best interests of a people. We face the condition. We cannot let men g0 wrong because the home is not doing its duty. We cannot let pegple suffer because the church has not seized its opportunity. The state, which is the common parent of us all, must assume all these burdens and responsibilities and must be--an- swerable in sight of God and man for the attitude and conduct of .oncoming generations. It behooves, therefore, all thoughtful citizens to ascertain wheth- er some method may not be devised whereby, measureably, we can return to the original ideals and theories of the rearing and keeping of our citizen- ship. It Is Time for Concerted Action. T may not be needful but it is cer- | tainly advisable that men interested in humanity at large, and in the republic in particular, should band them- selves together and by formation of societies which are not a delegated au- thority of legislative power endeavor to correct these evils and both by precept and the church the inevitable gecessity of a return to first principles. As a starting point for the accom- plishment of these purposes, right-mind- ed men first turn their glances toward the boy and the boy’s condition in the great centers of population. The boy of today is as primeval as Cain and Abel. He is born not im- moral, but unmoral. He is a caveman. He is the sole survivor of the stone age. pte is sacred to him. He is born

and example impress upon the home] THOMAS R. MARSHALL without the pale of the law and he has not heard of the Gospel. He does not understand, in his natural state, why anything that is loose does not belong tc him, and he does not appreciate grass except as something. to walk upon. Very probably he lives under surround- ings where: there is either no time, no opportunity, or no desire to teach him the great laws of life. Now, the State is facing these condi- tions: .The Juvenile courts are crowded, the number of probation officers is con- stantly being increased, the reformatories and schools for incorrigible boys are be- ing taxed beyond capacity and petty of- fenses are growing more numerous all the while.

PICNIC CROWD KEPT ON BOAT ALL NIGHT Excursion Steamer Hits on Sand- bar in Middle of Hudson River. TARRYTOWN, N. Y., July 20.—Near- ly 500 picnic excursionists from the first and second reformed churches of this city spent the night in the middle of the l.udson River, on board the steam- er Is..bel, which was stranded on a sand bar off the Tarrytown lighthouse. Many of the passengers were women and children, for whom the night was anything, but a pleasant one, although they were in no danger. The stranding of the excursion boat wa: the climax of a series of misfor- tunes which befell the church picnic party. When the excursionists assem- bled at the pier the boat which they had chartered was nowhere in _ sight. After a long delay it was found in Brooklyn, where the captain had gone by mistake. Launches and tugs were sent out to the Isabel at daybreak to take off the passengers.

He broke into a private house at night and stole three $20 gold pieces and a costly gold watch. He had expected, be- fore the commission of the crime, that he would emerge from it with a sense of having been steeped in the dregs of degradation, cumbered by an appalling consciousness that he had gone wrong. But,. to his astonishment, he found himself facing the world brazenly after he had skulked from the shadow of the house he had invaded.

The progressive candidate : for business honors. Whatever may be their divergent political views, the ad- gressive candidate for business honors is the POST-DISPATCH. Here is the verdict of the convention of advertisers of this country that have been in session daily for the past six months of this year ending July 1st, as expressed in the columns of legitimate advertising carried by the five daily newspapers of Post-Dispatch Globe-Democrat ee a ek It will be observed that the POST-DISPATCH carried two- thirds of the tetal number of columns of paid advertising car- ried by all the other St. Louis newspapers—the Globe-Demo- crat, Republic, Times and Star added together.

The crime had not ‘been re- ported, for it was yet early in the day, but the detective instinctively knew the news of it weuld come later. And it did, and so Donald Lowrie, with the cards of legal vengeance stacked against him, “went up’ to San Quentin prison for 15 years to becbme No. 19,093. That was in 1901. Last year he was released, having cut his time one-third by good behavior. And now we have his own story of his prison life. It is a truly wonderful document. It might have been spoiled by an effort at fine writing, but there is nothing like this to mar ‘its appeal. It is a “plain, unvarnished tale,” as moving as a drama and as illuminating as a mathe- matical demonstration. Of course, his indictment of conditions that are peculiar to San Quentin—and let us hope many of them are unknown elsewhere—concern California humani- tarians chiefly, but as a story of crime and its consequences, it points a moral for the whole human face, and that is that treating a convict like a brute is not a good way to make a man of him. Prison life is so far removed from the experience of the average man that the details of it appeal to a large curious element. . Probably no other book ever -written has set down the annals of the convict so graphically and so im- pressively as they are recorded here. As, the publisher's announcement says: “Few novels could so absorb interest. It is human utterly. That is the reason. Not only is the atmosphere of the prison preserved, from the collosal sense of encagement and defenselessness, to the |smaller jealousies, exultations and dis- appointments; not only is there a suc- cession of characters emerging into the clearest individuality and genuineness— each with its distinctive contribution and separate value; but beyond the de- tails and through all the contrasted va- riety, there is the spell of complete drama—the drama of life. Here is the underworld in continuous” moving pic- tures, with the overworld watching.” (Mitchell Kinnerley). “THE LAST TRY.” HOSE of the reading public who L revel in romance will certainly welcome this last story from the pen of John Reed Scott, for romance it is, pure and simple. Friends made in previous tales of Mr. Scott we meet once more, for the charm- ecient

‘ing Princess Dehra, becoming Valeria in her own right, has married, on the opening of this story, Armand Dalberg, once a Major in the American Army, but later, ‘by right.of descent, Archduke of Valeria, and the day. fol- lowing the wedding has him proclaimed King, with equal rights. . But it is with the bitterness and hate af the Duke of Lotzen that this story deals, and when you know that in be- ing made Archduke of Valeria Armand has displaced this Duke as heir pre- sumptive in the line of succession, his constant vindi¢tiveness is not surprising. His business in life is to keep his eye, or the eye of some of his sympathizers, on the movement.of the King, and when that gentleman runs over to Amer- ica, incog, for a short stay, the Duke also is in America, and twice the King escapes sudden ’death very narrowly. Valuable papers disappear, and the Duke, certain that charges, with these papers missing, cannot be proved, makes his bluff, but his bluff is met and he is foiled. When all else falls he boldly kidnaps the Queen. This is his last try, for the King, aided by a woman, finds a secret passage to the castle where the Queen is held. With a few trusty followers he storms the place, fights the Duke single-handed and runs him through the heart. (Lippincott.) A GENTLE TRAGEDY. T is tragic to be a musical genius, | with a voice of gold, to be on the point of making one’s mark in grand opera, to fall in love with a sweet girl, and then to be beguiled to ruin by a siren. That was the sad fate of Mi- chael Doran, central figure in “Memory Corner,” by Tom Gallon. But it is well for the reader of the story of such an unfortunate genius to have the tale unfolded by a writer like Tom Gallon, who has a knack of setting forth a tragedy without its bitterness, offset- ting it with a foil of characters that are quaintly amusing. Gustave Vasserot, the huge, ugly pianist who. discovéred Michael Doran’s golden voice and planned to make a fortune by it; Mi- chael’s two spinster aunts, who are s0 easily deceived by Vasserot because they are so good-hearted, and others in the story whose quiet is disturbed by the meteoric career of the youth with

—~—e Li i i eae ) HOSPITAL GUILT I8 PERSONAL. We must not inquire too closely into dissection

barbarous absence of any dissection room ethics at all has shocked the sensibilities of the com- munity, Nobody was to blame for the two recent hos- pital incidents which are made a subject of justi- fable popular protest, says the Hospital Board. The Mayor is satisfied with this verdict. As far as he is concerned, the matter is settled, he says. The Maggos boy, whose remains were subjected to surreptitious mutilation in the name of science’ was sent to the hospital from the Niedringhaus Memorial Mission. Mrs. Constance 8. Madison, mission matron, shows the fullness of the hos- pital data as to the identity of the child and the silliness of the excuse that the frightful blunder was due to an incorrect address. The usual blank, filled out. had been sent to the hospital with the child. Later two hospital employes ob- tained anew from the mission the name and ad- dress of parents, the name of the physician originally called in the case and the name of the Juvenile Court officer to whose official charge the little patient was committed. From the mis- sion daily inquiries were made about the child’s But nobody was responsible, says the Hospital Board, and the Mayor concurs. How very characteristic of hospital policy. That is what was eald all last summer when hos- ‘pital indignities to the living were repeatedly being brought to light. The municipal adminis- tration was not responsible for them. The board Was hot responsible for them. The Hospital Com- COL. ROOSEVELT STRIPPED. Two facts of the greatest significance are made clear as day by the report of the Stanley committee on the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. by the Steel Trust... 1. That the purpose of the financiers who cre- ated and manipulated the panic of 1907 was to obtain control of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. to the end that they might crush a danger- ous competitor of the United States Steel Corpo- ration and complete its monopoly of ore and coal resources and of the steel business. -2. That Theodore Roosevelt, then President, served as the willing instrument of their designs and protected them from prosecution for their unlawful acts. The power of the Government was surreptitiously used to encourage the com- mission of a crime under the anti-trust law and to give immunity to the offenders. Concerning Col. Roosevelt’s official part in this disgraceful transaction, the report says: If the merger was in violation of the law, it is equally clear that the President had no right to condone or encourage this violation or to prevent the Attorney-General from per- forming his duties, even though the prosper- ity of a dozen bankers in New York had de- pended upon it, much less the fatt of a single stock broker whose reckless, if not reprehen- sible, transactions had involved him im finan- cial disaster, The report links together facts showing that the panic was brought on at an opportune time when Broker Schley, the syndicate manager of T. C. & I. stock, was in extreme financial diffi- culties. He was hard pressed to force him to dispose of T. C. & I. securities. George W. Perkins, then in the Morgan firm and now principal political backer of Theodore Roosevelt, gave the monopolies a statement which caused a run on the Trust Company of America and nearly ruined that insolvent institution and its president, Oakleigh Thorne, in whose hands were securities of the T. C. & I. When under panic pressure the stocks and bonds of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. were brought within reach of the monopoly conspira- tors the next step was to get immunity from the President of the United States for violation of law in absorbing the company. Of the state- ment made by Messrs. Frick and Gary to Col. Roosevelt, upon which he granted them license to violate law, the report says: The same number of palpably inaccurate statements were probably never couched in the same number of words, before or since. If’ Col, Roosevelt did not know that the repre- sentations made to him by Messrs. Frick and Gary were false and wholly misleading, he could easily have informed himself. But accepting the pal- pable misrepresentations of trust magnates, the Colonel played into their hands. Col. Roosevelt can take either horn of the di- lemma; he was preposterously stupid®and credu- lous, or he deliberately abused the. power of the President to serve the unlawful ar oppressive purpose of unscrupulous monopolists. In seeking light on Col. Roosevelt’s motives, it is impossible to blink his friendliness to the Harvester Trust in protecting it from prosecution and his letter to Attorney-General Bonaparte re- ferring to the folly of driving away the influen- tial Morgan interests “which are so friendly to us.” This is the man who poses as the steward of the people and the enemy of the interests. This is the man who, having misused his power to promote monopoly and to protéct monopolists from the consequences of law-breakers, now has the audacity to lead a progressive movement to rescue the Government from organized greed and restore it to the people. And the movement he presumes to lead is sup- ported and financed by the monopolists he twist- ed the law to favor and protect. The Stanley report at least strips Col. Roose- velt of his last pretension as a foe to the plunder- bund.

Col. Roosevelt is convinced that Woodrow Wil- son was nominated by the bosses. This is neces- gary to the theory that everybody is boss-contk trolled except Me. THE CANAL TOLL PROBLEM. The advocates of the bill giving free use of the Panama Canal to American shipowners have come out in the open. They have thrown away the mask and told the truth, What they want is ship subsidies. They propose to take money away from many people and give it to a few people. They favor the unjust and un-Democratic doctrine that the public rev- enue may be a source of unearned private profit.—FROM THE ST. LOUIS REPUBIC. We favor the exemption from tolls of Amer- ican ships engaged in coastwise trade passing through the Panama Canal. We also favor leg- fjslation forbidding the use of the Panama Canal by ships owned or controlled by railroad earriers engaged in transportation competi- tive with the canal—FROM BALTIMORE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. — Certainly what the framers of the platform adopted at Baltimore wanted was not ship subsi- dies, They declared specifically against “bounties of subsidies from the public treasury” for the merchant marine, The many waterway and other civic bodies in the Mississippi Valley which wear no mask and whose attitude is similar to that taken at Baltimore recognize that the in- trigues of the Pacific railroads make the adjust- ment of canal tolls a far more complex problem than those who use the “subsidy” argument seem. to imagine.

THE SUFFRAGETTE’S HATCHET. When the Irish lass goes after the vote she goes with a vim and an ax—or, pardon us, a hatchet, if the distinction seems worth preserving. To } be sure, the hatchet is the.more delicate weapon vy.) of the pair, but, at best, is only the female of the €x species, and perhaps more deadly than é . 4 ie by ’ s andj The transition from the comparatively harm- ‘ : | , more primitive but perguasivs hatchet as the weapon and symbol of suffrage is at once a long step backward and a great advance. It marks progress through retrogression to the Stone Age, its. characteristic implement of debate and the earliest parliamentary forms. The hatchet’s re- vival, so to term it, after a hundred centuries {or more, begets the wonder whether this issue of supremacy was ever tried out before, and prompts the question, Can right armed with a hatchet overcome might and brutal advantage in this modern age? 7 Is woman but harking back to a supremacy she once had fairly won, but surrendered through the forbearance of her affections? Have the ages of imposition hardened her heart as well as her head, and will she reassert her moral sway now that she has come back to first principles? The ballot is hers—from the hatchet to the gavel, aye, the very scepter, is only a step—if she but has the heart to cut her way generally after the fashion of the Dublin Joan who clave the Prime Minister.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE The Van Sickler Case. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I wish to thank you for your sterling article in Tuesday's issue of your paper in behalf of Mr, Courtland B. Van Bickler, the young American who has received such outrageous treatment in the jail at Truxillo, Honduras. I have known him for 20 years, this period cov- ering our later boyhood and early manhood, and always found him straightforward and honorable in all his actions, courteous and agreeable, and, I am sure from my knowledge of his character, that all he desires is decent treatment and a fair trial, which is the right of every citizen of our great country. 3 DON C. HAVENS, 5882 Clemens avenue. Complain Direct to Health Department. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch, Our Health Board is undoubtedly very active and farseeing in their good work of sanitation in certain cases, but there are some health-men- acing factories which operate year in and year out, emitting disgusting and unwholesome fumes and odors. Near the corner of Chouteau and Vir- ginia avenues is an institution of this sort, and its “stench” spreads for many squares around. Resi- dents of this locality have acquired a habit of holding their noses for such long intervals of time that I suggest we form an organization and dub it the “United Nose-Holders of St, Louis.” Can't something be done to suppress this nuisance? ED L. FRINK, Blocked Manholes Cause‘ Floods, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. | Hundreds of citizens and business men have suffered heavy losses from the two late thunder- storms, their basements being filled with water and in many cases their stores. In many instances the water came in from the outside and was not back water from the sewers. The manholes would not take the water fast enough, the cause being, I believe, the holes need cleaning out. I know many must be choked with all kinds of rubbish, caused by so much rain washing it off the streets. If this be the case, the Street Department ought to give the matter immediate attention. CITIZEN, Women Olaim Back Seats. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In regard to the back seats in street cars, A woman pays 5c for her ride as well as a man; she is entitled to any seat she chooses. The last seats should be for women as they are safer and easier to get off of. I suggest charging the street car hog 10c, then he can take his pick.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatck, I think that the point made by President Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners as to “progressiveness” is a good one. Senator Flynn of Pennsylvania, who poses as a progressive and is one of Roosevelt’s chief supporters, is charged with paying his miners in Nevada starvation wages. President Moyer said: “We would say to Mr. Flynn, if his mine at Silver Peak is not @ paying proposition, close it down, but don’t take part in establishing a reduced scale of wages in surrounding districts.” Is not this a very proper | test to put to a progressive? How would Roose- velt meet it? A REAL PROGRESSIVE. Promiscuous Sale of Poisons. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I want to make an earnest protest against the promiscuous sale and the pernicious use of rat and bug poisons. I have just lost a valuable silver terrier pup, which picked up some baited “Rough on Rats,” or bug poison which some irre- sponsible or’ wicked person had tossed into the street. It suffered awful agony and died be- fore we could comprehend what was the matter with it. I am astounded that our laws, or the non-en- forcement of our laws, which is the same thing in effect, permit deadly poisons to be sold to irresponsible and often diabolical persons,. who will take no thought about destroying in agonizs- irg, lingering pain, any of God's creatures. “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy,” is a sentiment not possessed by all, though increasingly sweeping over the earth, and the thoughtless and heartless should be alike restrained f | dumb anima

THE STRICKEN MOOSE.

——

—_— UNCLE JOE AS A PILGRIM. From Yoday’s New York World. On the pleasant shores of Cape May, where azure waves caress the silver sands and sea-green mermaids come to learn new charms from summer girls, Uncie Joe Cannon wandering far from the noisy halls of political dissension, met and foregathered with Edgar Page, venerable author of ‘‘Beulah Land.” The Statesman took the Poet by the hand and sang the hymn as a proof that he knew it, for it appears a mere allega- tion on his part was not convincing to the author. And now as a graceful ack- nowledgement of appreciation the Poet has written a new poem and dedicated it to the Statesman, giving it the ex- pressive title ‘‘Inasmuch.”’ The verse opens somewhat like ‘The Ancient Mariner,” telling how the Poet met a “Pilgrim.on his way upon a hot and weary day,” how he sought to en- courage him, how there came a smile upon the face of the Pilgrim, and how “he seemed to fix a steadier eye upon the mansion in the sky,’ how later on the Poet heard “‘his gladsome song float- ing the King’s Highway along,” and felt ‘how blest’ to lift the fallen up, or even bring the cooling cup.” It is to be hoped the former Speaker understands the illusions in the verse and does not mistake the reference to King’s Highway as an attempt to ad- vertise St. Louis, where there is a street by that name. The only one clear moral of the poem is that the Poet expects to be forgiven “‘inasmuch”’ as he did some- thing to induce Uncle Joe to fix that steadier eye upon a mansion in the sky. The expectation is not unreasonable, but the eye may have winked a little.

ATHENS IN 1912. From the Christian Herald. The street scenes of Athens are ex- tremely interesting to the new arrival. The women of the better class affect a funereal black, for the most part, at least, in thig year of our Lord 1912. What it may be next year I would not venture to predict. But there are enough ether people on'the streets to relieve the somber effect. The soldiers ar par- ticularly picturesque. Many of them wear the kilted and fluted white skirt that comes nearly to their knees, while their legs are incased in heavy white stockings or leggings reaching to their hips. This costume, which terminates in brown Turkish shppers, extravagantly turned up at the toe, which is sur- mounted by a big black ball of worsted, gives these sens of Mars a singularly unwartike, not to say ¢«ffeminate, aspect. But there arejother soldiers tn blue and butternut uniforms of the ordinary type, are birds of gorgeous plumage.

— - =~ —— Lal - HE feelings with which I ac- cepted orthington’s invita- tion were strangely mingled. He had declared himself un- alterably my enemy, for no ether reason than that I had won the woman he wanted to marry. She was absent from my side, at the sickbed of her father, and, being made aware of the situation, he asked me to come and spend a week at his house. He suggested that the visit might make the enforced absence of my wife more endurable, and the tone of his letter fn a general way seemed to indicate that he desired to renew the friendship which had formerly existed between us. I decided to visit him at his country house, which he called in bumor the Moated Grange, perhaps because there was netther rm nor ditch connected ‘with the estate. The absurdity of the name was ac- centuated by the extremely modern as- pect of the dwelling, which was con- structed in a ce with Worthing- ton's own peculiar notions. It was of Very moderate size, but provided with every possible end-of-the-century im- provement. Domestic architecture, in- deed, was always a fad of his, and I well remember that as a schoolboy he used to make plans on his state for the house he was going to build when he grew to be a man. Another notion of his was that he would have two smal! silver bars of appropriate shape and size to eool his tea—a beverage of which he was inordinately fond. That metal having a property of absorbing heat, he would use the bars alternately in his cup at meals. I may mention that the first thing I noticed on sitting down at the table with him, immediately after my arrival at the Moated Grange, was twe such silver bars, which he used for his tea. He was,a man who seldom, if ever, relinquished an idea, When he showed me to’ my bedroom he had some joking remarks to make about the peculiarities of the apartment, which was entered oddly enough, by 4 flight of six steps leading down from the landing. I do not know what it was that roused me, but some hours hater I became suddenly wide awake. Maybe it was 4 certain peculiar sensation of chill in the air that disturbed my slumber. I turn over, with the tntention of wooing re- luctant repose, when, being nearer to} the edge of the bed than I had sup- posed, my right arm fell outside. It plunged up to the elbow into ice-cold water. I was extremely startled and even alarmed. Hastily leaning over toward t other side of my souch, I stretched out my arm again. It was o illusion. The bed was surrounded by water up to the height of the mattress, or near- There were two of them and I tried them in succession; but I could hardly reach them, having nothing te stand Upon, and it was obvious that the shut- ters were securely barred, though the Sashes were lowered from the top, as if for ventilation. Some minutes of frantic effort convinced me that there was nething to be accomplished. It was now for the first time that 3 Suggestion of foul play came into my mind. The idea struck me like a thun- derbolt; it was indeed the only conceiv- able explanation of the _ situation. Wortington, who had sworn eternal enmity toward me, had not forgotten his vow. I Was at the mercy of a madman. I yelled and screamed in my despair. alternately cursing my treacherous host and calling upon him to have mercy and spare my life. : I suppose this must have continued for five minutes:or so, though it seemed hours to me, when I thought I heard a noise outside the door and HMstened. It was @ man’s footstep, and as it ap- proached I recognized it as Worthing- “What's the matter, old man?” he cried. “Got a nightmare?’ s ‘Have mercy, Worthington,” I cried. For God's sake, have mercy!" “It's a nightmare, sure enough,” I heard him mutter. ‘He's walking in his: sleep.”’ “Open the door!’’ I wafled. “How can I open it?’ he replied. “Thé catch is an the inside, just above the knob. Press it back with your thumb.” With trembling fingers I obeyed him; the door, released by the spring catch— one of Worthington’s freaks of in- genuity—flew open, and I fell outward, half-fainting. He eaught me in his arms. “Why, what’s the mat?’ he began, when, as he gazed down into the bril- liantly lighted room, an expression of the utmost astenishment came over his face. Then he began to swear with much elaborateness and emphasis. The situation began in some measure to dawn upon me, as he ran back to his ewn room and, returning with a pocket + flask, poured half of its contents down my throat. The fiery stuff nearly choked me, “You didn’t mean to murder. me, then?” I said, as soon as I could regain my breath. “Murder you!” he echoed. “Ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha!’’ I theught he would have a fit with laughing. After wrapping me in warm blankets, putting my feet in a tub of hot water, and making me swallow the rest of the whisky, he explained in a few words what had happened. “In putting up this house,” he said, “my notion was to build it around @& bathroom. That was my bathroom which you occupied tonight. I have two or three other tubs for winter use, but for summer I wanted a tank that my guests and I could swim in. -In winter, according to’ my idea, it was to be converted into a bedroom, thus provid- ing an extra chamber for guests. To shut off the water, carpet the floor and put in the necessary furniture was sim- ple enough. I confess that I thought it rather a clever notion. In some way, which I will find out about in the morn- ing, the valve shutting off the water must have opened, flooding the room, There is only one thing I cannot under- stand, and that is why you should have jumped to the conclusion that I had design upon your life.’’ “You swore everlasting enmity, know, Dick,’”’ I said, weakly. He laughed long and loud, like his old self. ‘I meant it, too,” he _ replied. “But changed circumstances have caused me to forgive the outrage you committed in cutting me out with a certain young lady. I am now engaged to be married to Miss Evelyn Gold- thwaite, whom I believe you know.”’ “I do, indeed, Dick,” I said. ‘‘She’s a charming girl, and I wish you all the; happiness you deserve.” (Copyright, the Short Story Pub, Co.)

I touched the upper one and instantly the room was flooded with light from eight or ten Edison bulbs, which were attached to a pair of chan- deliters overhead. e entire room was flooded with ‘water, which was already nearly high enough to overflow the bed.

Henry, in a mania of jealous rage, had Derham and Culpepper beheaded. Catherine relied on her mighty influence over her husband to save herself. She tore free from the guards who had been sent to arrest her and rushed shrieking In search of the King. But before she could find him she was recaptured and dragged to prigon. She never again saw Henry. A coun- cll of nobles condemned her to death. At dusk on Feb. 13, 1542, she was led to the place of execution and was be- headed.

PUTTING CLOTHES TO $ AKE the washtub way to health, T youth and beauty! That is the recommendation re- cently made by Dr. David Paulsen of Hillsboro, Mich., lecturing on ‘‘How to Postpone Your Own Funeral.” To iI- lustrate his contention Dr. Paulson had an array of washtubs on the lecture platform, and he himself bent ever them and went through the motions of washing out garments. He demon- atrated that there is a proper and an improper way to wash and emphasized the necessity of fresh air and deep breathing for the washerwoman. Not long ago Dr. Dudley 8. Sargent aise pointed out the beneficial results of washtub calisthenics. And there ig a great deal more truth and common sense than most people realize behind the theory advanced by these two em- | inent physicians. If you don't believe it, study the pic- tures which the Post-Dispatch reproduc- es with this article. Each represents a different stage in the process of wash- ing clothes and each stage involves a different set of body movements. museles of the shoulder, arm, hand, torso, back, pelvis and leg are brought into play at some point of the process, Moreover, because the strain is so wide ly distributed, there is no tendency/‘to exaggerated development of any ‘one part of the body. It is this exaggera- tion of certain muscles and _ tigsues which makes many artists and connois- seurs criticize the figure of the modern athletic girl. If she substituted wasl.- ing for rowing or tennis she would Goubtless attain an equal degree of strength and a considerably greater symmetry. N OW for the pictures.

Once upon a time this was done on stones by the edge of a river, but a washboard covered with corrugated ridges of metal is the usual modern enquipment.
