DUELING FEVER SPREADS
Frenchmen Indulge In Daily Chal-

Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Oct. 22.-Maybe it is the cold,
bright weather stirring ones martial
ardor: maybe it is the opening of the
shooting season, or maybe something
entirely different, but the air has been
full lately of talk of duels. 1t was
even thought for while that two du-
elists would be imported from England
when Lord Kimberley challenged MY.
Sapwell. But that conflict has been
averted and the differences between
Parisians have also been happily set
tied. arbitration scoring notable victo-
ries.
M. Pierre Weber, resenting some re-
marks of M. Alphonse Franck, man
ager of the Theatre du Gymnase, con-
cerning M. Veber's appreciation or his
MANAGEMENT in The Herald, sent sec
onds to NJ Franck, who appointed M.
Henry Bernstein and M. lie Bargy to
act for HIM The seconds met and de-
cided that there was no cause for
duel. both principals agreeing to re-
tract the remarks complained of.
Following upon an article by M. Guy
de Cassagnac, M. Charles Maurras
sent seconds to the writer with instruc-
tiOns to demand an apology or arrange
a duel. M. de Cassagnac's seconds
rointed out that the article in ques-
tion was in reply to an article pub
lisbed by M. Maurras in the Gazette
dc France, to which their principal
took objection.
on behalf of M. Maurras 1t was sta
ted that the article was not intended
to he offensive, and a reconciliation
was thereupon arranged.

"DRY WINTER" PROPHECY
MAY NOT BE FULFILLED
RAINY SEASON OPENS SEVERAL
WEEKS IN ADVANCE
Indications Are Hopeful That Rain
maker Is Mistaken In His Belief
That Present Year Will be Dry,
Except for Artificial Precipitation

Hatfields prophecy that the coming
winter is going to be the "dryest wet
season" Southern California has yet
experienced, fails to give promise Of
being fulfilled. For. already some weeks
before the regular opening period or
the wet season, Los Angeles has re-
ceived a visit from the elements, which
last year Hatfield clearly demonstrated
lie manipulated, when he, for the insig-
nificant sum of$1000. caused precipita-
ton of some eighteen inches. What
may have been the cause of this pre-
mature visit of Hatf1eld's subjects we
can only conjecture. 1t may be that
some one maliciously "doped" his dope
Sheets" or it may be that some one
geared up the wheel works of Hat
fields machinery, however, the fact fact
remains that there was a precipitation
of eight one-hundredths of an inch of
rain Saturday night
Hatfield has been sojourning in the
vicinity of Riverside for the past few
weeks, and it may be that in his abb
sence, his liquid subjects became a
little uneasy, fearing that he might
forget himself and remain away little
overtime, and in dwelling upon this
thought and of their last years bril-
liant record, became a little too am
bilious and came around ahead of
scheduled time. This, according to the
official rainmaker Franklin, is the case,
as there was absolutely no premonition
of the occurrences of Saturday night.
With the start made SO far, it ap-
pears that Hatfield very likely will
keep up his last years record. Accurate
figuring shows that he will have given
US the standard measure of eighteen
inches in a few days less than last
vear's time However Mr. Franklin
is slightly skeptical about this point,
he only says:
"I am unable to say that there will
be a succession of showers from this
time on, yet it is to be expected that
Saturdays sprinkle will be followed by
more of them as the month advances.
Well see though"

TOO MUCH MARRYING
Mount Holyoke Professor Says College
Is Not the Place to Fix Girl
for Welded Life
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BOSTON, Oct. 22.--Miss Kate Gordon.
A. NJ, Phi. D., professor OF psychology
in Mount Holyoke college, openly ana
emphatically takes issue with the Pres
ident and other advocates OF 'antl-race
suicide" and declares that there is al
together too much marrying and CIV
ing in marriage, and that I'VE must
remember that reproduction of children
is too often a vain repetition. MISS
Gordon's views were advanced In lee
ture before the New England Associa-
tion OF Colleges and preparatory
Schools, and her utterances were openly
approved by a number of other teach
ers, among them being Prof Herbert
e. Mills of Vassar, who declared that
he heartily approved every statement
made by her.
The first surprise in Miss Gordons
lecture came when she said that the
college is not the place to fit a girl for
married life. 1.-The welded state" she
said. "is an occupation, just as much
as is civil engineering, and the college
Is a place to cultivate character and
judgment. Although 1t will be true al
ways that the greater number or
women will elect the domestic career,
yet I cannot but think that the super
lative fascination of that estate mas
been by recent writer's and thinkers
trife overworked. Sentiment aside for
moment, Is not matrimony the most
precarious business in the world?
"The matrimonial returns, not to
mention the vagaries of affection, are
notoriously disproportionate to a
woman's efficiency. If 1t be the busi-
ness of a domestic woman to rear
large family of children, we must ac-
knowledge that her reward in worldly
goods is inversely proportional to her
success: for with every additional child
the same income must be made to reach
further.
Are we not likely to fall into the
fallacy of supposing there is something
intrinsically desirable in a mere guam
tity of human beings? AS Jane Austen
says: "A family of ten children will
always be called a fine family. where
there are heads and arms and legs
enough for the number We must re-
member that reproduction Is too often
vain repetition. Why repeat until
we have something worth while? In
deed, 1 would almost say that a woman
has no business to be a mother until
she can demonstrate her ability to be
something else.
"a woman's education, like a mans
education, should fit her to make an
intelligent choice of a life occupation.
We should have more respect for mat
rimony as a vocation If we knew that
it never was the only possible resource
Of any woman. Moreover there are
many married women for whom it
would be a valuable experience to know
the meaning of a hard days work. A
woman's estimate of her husband may
be considerably altered when she comes
to appreciate the effort by which he
supports her."

POLICE ARE PUZZLED
BY AN AUTO MYSTERY
TWO MEN ABANDON MACHINE
AND DISAPPEAR
Carrying satcheIs, They Drive at High
Speed to Avenue 21 and Manltou
Avenue and Board a Nearby Car.
Officers Now Investigating Case

Strange actions of two men, who
drove a Cadillac runabout at a furious
speed to Avenue Twenty-one and Man
itou avenue Saturday afternoon, took
two small satchels, abandoned the ma
chine, boarded a nearby car and dis
appeared, have interested the police
greatly and yesterday led to the be-
ginning of a thorough investigation.
1t was found shortly after the Of
ficers were detailed on the case that
the two men who are said to have
been suspicious looking characters,
passed through Pasadena earlier in
the day driving the car at mad speed.
One officer who was off duty got a
fair look at the men as they were
passing when near the city limits and
it may lead to their arrest
On the rear of the machine was the
number 356. which is the license num-
ber belonging to w. S. Kelly of Oak
land. The number is painted on a card
and leads to the belief that it had been
appropriated by the men who last
drove the machine and did not wish
to be recognized.
According to residents in the district
the men drove up to the curbing on
Avenue Twenty-one near Manitou
avenue. They were both dressed in
long auto coats, leather caps and
their faces were closely muffled. While
one man worked with the runabout
the other hastily arranged their few eff
fects The men and the machine both
had the appearance Of having trav-
eled some distance. 1t was found that
in leaving the machine the men ex-
tracted a small bolt which impaired
the machine temporarily. The auto
was taken to the city Jail where it
will be held until it's owner can be
found.
Telegraphic advices from Oakland do
not clear up the mystery of the car in
the least. Automobile 356 is registered
as belonging to Kelly, but he said that
the number on his car had been 354,
but the car was incorrectly numbered.
A short time ago he sold the car to q
Mrs. Dumouriez. However, he is un-
able to say whether she has changed
the number on the car.
Automobile license 354 belongs to
Barney Ransom OF Oakland. Ran
som was out in the city in his car

LONDON, Oct 22.-Secure as the

Great Britain's alliance with Japan,
a deaf ear being turned to any sug-
gestions of a yellow peril, nevertheless
Sir James Crichton-Browne, vice-pres-
ident of the Royal Institution of Great
Britain, chiefly well known as a spe-
cialist in mental diseases, brought the
question forward in a new and strik-
ing form the other day.
He was presiding at the reopening of
the Charing Cross Hospital Medical
school and was speaking on the sub
ject of inefflciency:
ut was indubitable," he said, that
there was a deplorable amount of de-
terioration among us, and that inefti-
cheney abounded in our educational
machinery our economic system, our
municipal administration and our
army, all were inefficient. An encour-
aging fact was that the dangers at
tending tine inefficiency were now be-
ing perceived and that mea1ures were
being taken to insure efficiency. This
must be attributed to the great object
lesson of the efficiency of the japan
ese in their great struggle with Rus
sia."
Il feel confident that the Japanese
brain will be found to be not inferior
to that of Englishmen in weight, in
proportion to body weight, In tineness
of folding and in depth of gray matter,
though doubtless with structural char
acteristics of it's own.
Should this prove to be so. and
should the Chinese brain be found t.
participate in the characteristics of
that of Japan, then the yellow peril is
rot mere bogy, but in some form
or other a possible contingency"

What Constitutes Genius.

When Paderewski. the world
famous pianist, was interviewed dur
ing his visit in New Orleans, he told
his interviewer that the sole reason
why he was a great success, was that
he had worked, and worked very
hard. He gave no credit whatever
TO his ancestry, nor 10 anything
which he had inherited, and he
stoutly denied that influential friends
had in any way been responsible for
his fame.
This is an old story, and practi
cally the same sentiment is given to
us by all men who have achieved
cmlnence in any particular calling.
Yet when we see the thousands flock
to hear the Polish player and see
them pay an exorbitant price for the
pleasure Of hearing the harmonies
which he has the power TO produce
we think him merely a favored son
Of fortune, a genius. We sigh and
indulge in lamentation because fate
has not given us talent also.
According to the story OF Padcr-
ewski, he was at first a miserable
player, and in his earlier efforts there
was nothing to show that he would
ever become the famous musician
that he is today. In the picture Of
the man we are apt to imagine the
face rather effeminate, and the man
ner in which be wears his hair is apt
to prejudice us somewhat, but those
who have met him personally say
that his is a character Of remarkable
and that he would probably +
have succeeded in any line Of work T
he might have undertaken ,
If we would but study the biog- p
Of great men, we would find ,
hat the genius which they have pos +
has consisted of nothing RI
more than the ability to do hard -,
work. ,

UnpopuIarity of Modern Warfare.

The details Of the war in the far
east arc gruesome at best, and the
world will be glad when the strug-
giles between Russia and japan
have been settled. 1t is unpleasant
to contemplate the misery Of the sick
and wounded Russian soldiers at
Port Arthur, and the suffering that
will be felt in the far away Russian
homes. II is sickening to think Of
the Japanese lives that were lost in
the attacks against the Russian
stronghold
In the past, war has furnished the
food for much romance and the gilt
ter of battle has even been made
attractive, but in the modern meth
DDS of warfare, there is little that
inspires. The war will cost much
and the spoils of victory will be
meagre in comparison. The Bible
says that there will ever be wars and
rumors of wars, but it. hardly seems
a part Of Gods plan that men should
engage in the scientific slaughter Of
one another.
