Prof. Franz B0as, a foremost anthro-
polOgist, contributes to the number an
article in which he answers the ques-
ton as to how far the undesirable traits
found In our negro population are due
to social surroundings and how far to
racial traits. He insists that there is
nothing to prove that RIGHTEOUSNESS,
shiftiess laZiness, or lack of initiative
are fundamental characteristics Of the
negro. On the contrary, Prof. Boas
finds that in his aboriginal home he
shows the traits Of a healthy primitive
people, with a considerable degree Of
personal initiative, a talent for organ
ization. an imaginative power technical
skill. and thrift.

The annual report of Gen. George B.
Davis. Judge Advocate General of the
Army, shows that Of the commissioned
officers tried during the last year by
General Court-Martial, 35 were con-
victed and Ii acquitted. Three cadets
and 1898 enlisted men were convicted,
while 1856 men were acquitted. The to-
tai number of trials before General
Court-Martia! OF $500 cases shows an
increase Of ISL cases over last year.
This increase is mainly due to the fact
that large number OF deserters has
been apprehended and brought to trial,
the number Of convictions for assertions
being 1.476 this year, an increase of
440. This gain is chiefly due to the In
crease Of the reward paid to all civil
officers for the apprehension Of desert
ers, inducing greater vigilance on their
part. The number Of men sentenced to
dishonOrable discharge was 2,529.

name of the Forthcoming publication from

Observer man about his book he said:
State biographical works in the past

the State great and lasting service if
he will place this book on an ideal plane

There is great need for such a work

NATIONAL ELECTION DAY.
WAY "a. the tuesday After the First
Monday In November,

Why It's the Tuesday After the First
Monday I'm November,
Why should the law prescribe "the
Tuesday next after the first Monday
In November Instead OF saying "the
first Tuesday," Like many other small
things this provision introduces an In
tercsting picture Of the past.
Although the constitution requires
the electors IN all the states to meet
and choose u president on the same
day, II was not until 1916 that law
was passed by congress providing that
the electors should be chosen on the
same day throughout the United
States When william Henry Harrison
was the Wing candidate. In lS40. New
York began to vote on the first Monday
in November. and the polls were kept
open until Wednesday night. Election
day IN Massachusetts, was the second
Monday. but before that day, In this
instance. enough states had voted TO dc.
eide the contest The National Intelli-
gencer Of that year records that several
thousand aged and inirm Wings La
Massachusetts did not bother TO 90 TO
the polls.
Delaware voted day later than
Massachusetts Illinois. Indiana and
Pennsylvania were among the early
voting states. Alabama was one Of the
last. This diversity. combined with
slow methods Of transmitting news,
left the election results in doubt for
many days.
The system was not satisfactory. The
states that voted early had an undue
influence on the result. Especially was
this ttue as communication became
more rapid, and by 1910 an enthusiastic
editor told how the news from Pitts
burg had been brought to New York In
thirty-hve hours. ''rhis," he added
significantly. 'is a sign of the times"
Congress accordingly decided to es'
tablish n uniform day. The original
bill named the first Tuesday In No

COTTON IN A FABRIC.
How 90 Tell ~ worsted or woOiei
Cloths Are Aduiterated.

How 90 Tell ~ worsted or wooien
Cloths Are Adulterated.
worsted cloths are less often aduiter-
ated than woolens and are more easily
detected. A cotton worsted is lie on
the face Of It, for the cotton stands out
with prominence. But often cotton
thread ~ twisted with worsted
thread. and to determine its presence
II is only necessary to take the twist
out OF the thread and then examine its
component parts.
Cotton, having long staple, can be
cardcd and combed with wool to be
spun into worsted yarn This Is done
to cheaper the cost Of production. Cot
ton is carded and spun with wool and
shoddy, not so much to cheaper the
yarn. for cotton is generally as expen-
sive as some shoddies, but Is intro
duced to give strength or spinning
qualities to the stock. In many cases
the shoddy is Of such short staple that
It would not stand the drawing In
spinning, and, rs II would make the
cost OF the yarn too high to put In
enough wool to give that lacking
strength, cotton is put in for this pur,
pose.
The percentage Of cotton in a fabric
can be determined in this manner;
Take small piece Of cloth and weigh
It. Now boil 1t for five minutes in .
per cent solution Of caustic soda. Take
out what Is left. and, II any, 1t is all
cotton. The wool will all be dissolved.
The percentage OF shoddy cannot be de-
termined except by experience.
A cloth or yarn with shoddy In 1t Is
easily detected by its feel. Cloth made
OF all new wool is softer feeling than
one containing shoddy, for the latter
has lost that new, soft, springy feel
peculiar to wool Wool and
