GROWS WINGS ON INSECT.
California EntomOlogist Demon
strates That Life Can BE Reg
uInted by Chemicals.

Warren Z. Clark, the student as-
sistant in entomology at the Uniyer-
sity Of California, has done with land
forms of insect life almost what DR..
JACQUES Loeb, the eminent biologist
who recently took the chair of ply
siology at the university, has done
with marine forms Of insect life
demonstrated that with the aid of
powerful chemical solutions life and
growth can be regulated at the will,
saws a San Francisco report.
In series of experiments that Mr..
Clark has just concluded he has made
the discovery that the growth Of
wings on the "nectarophoro rosae
Linn" a species of aphis, is due to
chemical excitation alone, and not to
any causes that have formerly been
regarded as natural by the entomolo-
gists who have studied the growth
of the insect. In the past the rea-
sons for the growth Of these wings
have been assigned to a short food
supply. to starvation, and to the CON
ditions of the temperature, which
have forced the insect to grow wings
in order to protect itself from ex-
tinction.
Careful examination, however, OF
the ingredients of the insects food
supply has completely contradicted
these early theories and established
the important point that these ap-

IN THE PROFESSION.
But.Her Husband Was one who Man
fpuIated the Razor ON the Real
Professional Men.


When two women not Of the same
set meet on a social basis there IS not
that feeling Of en- rapportness that we
sometimes read about. A few days ago
a Second avenue bride was summoned
to her parlor by the maid, who pre-
sented a calling card printed in blue
ink, and up in one corner there was
q little pink dove, relates the Detroit
Free Press.
The caller proved to be a member
OF an organization with which the
bride was connected, one Of those asso-
Citations that send out visiting COM
mittees to prevent the members from
forgetting that the organization is on
earth. Apparently the chairman de-
cided who was to do certain calls by
drawing names out of hat, and the
result was not always satisfactory. In
this case it was evident that the chair
man had stubbed her toe.
The visitor was new at the business
and she displayed her awkwardness
at every turn. There was some prelim-
mary small talk, with the guest max
ing ali the leads and the hostess reg
ularly refusing to play trumps. The
bride answered Eyes" and mo-" and
secretly she was greatly amused.
Then the committeewoman plunged
"What business is your husband z"
she inquired, abruptly
"He is a professional man, law
yer" was the reply.
"How delightful" cooed the visitor,
In the tone that is recommended in the
rough and ready etiquette books.
"Yes," said the bride.
81 am sure we are going to be good
friends" continued the caller, "for my
husband, too, is professional man."
Woman's curiosity got the better OF
the hostess, and she asked:
"And what is his profession?"
"He is "a barber in one of the best
places on Gratiot avenue. 1t takes a
lot Of experience and very steady
hand to be good barber. He hopes
to have a shop of his own some day"
The bride smiled broadly, she could
not help it, and, encouraged by this,
her guest asked:
sand where did You work before you
were married."
The hostess this time laughed aloud,
and the caller concluded that she was
getting TO be quite conversational
ist.
81 did not work anywhere" replied
the bride 81 just went to school,
played golf, attended cooking school
meetings and did other little things
like that to improve my mind"
"Oh. my, how nice, said the visitor,
as she opened her eyes wider than be-
fore; and then she rubbed her lips
with a yellow-bordered handkerchief
that was scented with jockey club
horse liniment.
When she prepared to go she gave
her hostess an urgent invitation to re-
turn the call, as she said she felt sure
that they were going to like each other
awfully well. AS final bon mot she
remarked:
'You might tell your husband about
my husbands shop, and when they get
acquainted we four could have such
awfully good times"
The bride ordered the parlor aired.
Then she went upstairs to burn mos
quito sticks, in order to drive from
her clothing the smell of the liniment
that may be good for man or beast,
but is not popular with society tywomen

The Letters to Santa Claus Through
Courier Brought Answers.
More than one little heart was made
glad by the qualification Of fond hopes
for remembrance by Santa Claus this
year, through the agency Of the letters
written to good old Saint Nicholas
through the Courier. Most Of the little
missives were from children whose
parents could easily act as Santa Claus
and supply their wants, both real and
imaginary. But there were few writ
ten by little folks who are members
Of families which, for one reason and
another, have had a hard time to keep
the wolf from the door. and it was
these who were helped by several
largehearted readers of the paper.
Contributions Of money and wearing
apparel came to the Courier office on
Christmas eve and before. and helped
to make merry Christmas for more,
than one little girl or boy who other
wise would not have been remem-
bered.
Expresses His Thanks,

has not had his faith in Santa Claus
shaken in the least He is Iona Ray

his letter, which set forth the facts

him that Santa Claus would forget
him this year. However, b. had the
courage to write to Santa and when
the reply came he was oyerjoyed.
The following letter has been received
from him at the Courier office, adj

you a thousand times, and I hope you

NUMBER II.
Strike Declared at Coal Glen.

There has been some contension dur
Ing the past few days between the
operators and miners OF the Coal Glen
colleries. The trouble hinges on the
question OF an hours time which was
docked from the drivers days work
last Saturday and the men have raised
kick on what the superintendent con-
tends is according to the dictates OF the
labor scale. AS a resul: OF conference
with the miners committee and Super
intendent Blakeslee held Thursday
afternoon at which no settlement could
be reached the men decided to come out
on strike and remain out until the
matter is satisfactorily adjusted. Ac-
cording TO a statement made TO the
Record yesterday the drivers we're
docked an hours time which was spent
In waiting on coal cars to arrive at the
mine. The men claim that they are
entitled to full time as the suspension
caused In waiting on "lats" was
matter wholly under the company's
control and that the employees are not
responsible for time lost in this manner
when they are on hand to perform the
days work. II is also stated that the
drivers refused to work when the fans
we're not in operation and for this Of
Tense they we're docked one hours time.
The trouble has grown out OF minor
grievance but as both sides have as
sumed decided stand in the matter
there is no telling just what proportions
will result from the suspension.
Several OF the Union officials have
been in the valley during the week and
meetings we're held for the purpose OF
discussing the situation. The valley is
strongly organized and the men claim
they will stand out for what they claim
is right. The order to strike was made
at the instance of unanimous decision
OF the local Union. All the Coal Glen
colleries are idle to-day, and there is
no probability OF settlement in view.
The shutdown affects about 800 men,

MSlaYes Of PASSIONS. I"

Last night "Slaves Of Passion" was

company. The play is genuine thriller
and yet 1t contains lines and scenes OF
the highest dramatic excellence 1t
tells vivid heart story Of love, hatred
and jealousy, disclosing the extremes of
human desires and passions. Some Of
the startling incidents are, the attack
by mad wolf, the attempt TO blow up

Den Scene, where "Jack" and "NelP'
are surrounded by murderous lot OF
ruf1ians and engage In thrilling fight
for life, and the great climax In the last
act, where Jack" discovers who the
real assassin is and the angry mob. The
comedy is rich and plenty, the dialogue
crisp but clean and the whole teaches a
good moral lesson to the young and old.
Allan Villair as Jack" was the ideal,
picturesque hero, who fears nothing
