Growth From Sugar.

That English and American girls just
reaching Womanhood and the next gen.
Grafton in it's early teens are unusually
tall, standing a head or more above
their mothers, has been remarked on
over and over again and been made
the subject Of learned disquisitions, yet
no generally accepted cause has been
given for the fact up to this time.
Now comes a London physician Of
note and says that it is simply case
Of heightened sweetness. By "sweet-
ness" in this particular case the nature
Of the young ladies is not referred to-,
but their diet. In fact, statistics of re-
cent years show that Americans and
Britons Of both sexes are increasing in
height and weight. Why? The physi-
clan referred to says it is sugar. ..
Great Britain and America are the
sugar eating nations of the world and
have quadrupled their saccharine con-
sumption in the last score Of years.
This Is now the best explanation of
an accepted fact, and it will have to
stand until better one comes along.

A German Criminal Catcher.

Herr Eugen Fass has hit upon an
elaborate method of alarming the in
habitants Of a town whenever any
great crime has been committed in or
der to prevent the escape Of the crimi-
nal. His idea is to erect in all the most
public parts Of the town booths con-
tanning table, writing materials, tele-
phone and electric bells and in front a
large board for the display Of notices.
AS soon as crime is committed bell
Is set ringing, which calls the nearest
policeman, who is Informed telephon-
ically Of the details, and these he
promptly writes down and places them
on the display board so that he who
runs may read. Thus within a few
minutes Of the preparation of q crime
public hue and cry is raised which it
is hoped may end speedily in the cap
ture Of the criminal.

The Oldest Locomotive,

The London Engineer reports that
the oldest locomotive in the world, one
built by George Stephenson for the
Hetton colliery, near Durham, in 1922,
has just been retired from service.
Stephenson had constructed his first
locomotive, My Lord, for the Killings
worth colliery in 1914. The Hetton
railway, laid out by Stephenson, was
the longest railroad which had up to
that time been constructed in that por-
ton of the north of England. It was
eight miles in length, extending from
Hetton colliery, few miles west of
the city of Durham, to the shipping
staithes on the river Wear at Sunder-
land, crossing in it's course Warden
Law, one of the highest hills in the
county of Durham. The Hetton line
was opened on Nov. IS, 1922, or nearly
three years previous to "the first pub
lie railway" the Stockton and OAR
ington, and on this date five Of Ste
phenson's locomotives were at work,
the engine just retired after nearly
eighty years Of continuous service be-
ing one Of them.

Reorganixins the L. A. w.

BY vote of the executive committee
Of the League of American Wheelmen
the once powerful New Jersey division
Of the organization was recently abol-
ished. For two years the state officers
did little, If anything, for the league:
hence the drastic procedure of the ma.
tional officials. At their meeting dur
ing the Atlantic City meet the national
officials decided that strenuous policy
was necessary to retnvig0rate the or
ganization, and the wiping out Of tht
New Jersey division is the first move
in that direction.
1t is believed to foreshadow a gen.
eral shakeup Of the league. In other
states in which apathetic officers retain
titles, but perform no service, it is ex-
pected that the ak will also fall and
their affairs be taken over by the ma
tional officials until aggressive men ART
found in the several districts.

RICHEST ROYAL FAMILY,
Russian ReigninE House Said to
Have the Distinctions.

Russian Reigning House Said to
Have the Distinction.
The Russian reigning house has, it is
said, greater wealth than that Of any
other royal family In the world. In the
Rev. II. N. Hutchinson's Living Rul-
ers of Mankind" it Is said that the min
imum revenue the czar derives from
the crown and state domains Is esti-
mated at $7,5OO,0OO year. More than
forty members of the imperial family
not in the direct line of succession
draw revenues from landed estates set
aside for that purpose by the Emperor
Paul |. TO these estates is given the
name of the imperial appanag es. They
cover an area of 100000 acres, larger
than Scotland, and the total income
derived from them is $1O,0OO.O0O. Be
fore the emancipation of the serfs $780,
900 peasants We're attached to these
vast estates and were in a sense the
property of their owners.
Another item Of the vast wealth Of
the imperial family. we are further
told, is the quantity Of jewels it's mem
bers possess.
The Russians love gems. Serfs have
toiled to fashion these wondrous jew
els; emirs and shahs, the vassals Of
the car, have laid them at his feet.
The English ambassadors daughter
said, laughing, that when Alexander
III. presented the various grand duch-
esses, ladies of the imperial family,
with most costly jewels on the occasion
of his coronation they thought nothing
of the gifts, but tossed them carelessly
in a drawer. To ladies so plentifully
supplied with pearls and diamonds a
fresh necklace or tiara was a thing of
small account

Big Auto Race In America,

New York automobiles believe it
to be not impossible that next year s
race for the international cup won by
S. F. Edge, an Englishman, on the
course Of the Paris-Vienna contest,
may be run in this country. British
autom obilists, great though their pride
is in it's possession, are finding the
championship trophy somewhat of a
white elephant. The laws of the Unit
ed Kingdom are very stringent against
speeding or the highways. British
chauffeurs also express little hope that
special legislation can be obtained to
permit the running of the race in Great
Britain, as is their privilege as holders
Of the cup.
In the face of this hopeless condition
of affairs and the Discrimination Of
Englishmen to hand over the conduct
Of next years championship race to
any Of the continental countries, the
United States has been suggested re-
peatedly in the British automobile press
and by leading racing men. including
s. F. Edge, the cup holder, himself, as
an available place for next years con-
test. The Englishmen assume that the
necessary permission can be obtained
from our government and state authori-
ties as matter of national pride.
They declare that Anglo-Saxons
should run the race and, in view of the
home situation, seem not unwilling to
hand over the contest to their cousins
across the sea. In all these suggestions
the probability is mentioned that the
support Of American automobiles in
the way of entries and of American
manufacturers in the way of special
speeding creations would add greatly
to the importance of the contest should
it be held in this country.

saying that their horses will be so well
