TALL PEOPLE LIVE LONGEST
Cleveland Health Officer Says Germs

Cleveland O.-Health Officer Mar tin Friedrich. of this city advances a new germ theory that is certainly en eouraging to people who are tall.
 Blessed are the tall says Fried rich. for they shall live long. A six footer," he continued has more chance to escape disease germs than the little fellow Those built close to the ground must be on the lookout ,"
 Friedrich was perusing the physi clans mortality reports, and noticed prevalence of childrens diseases Out of 26 cases of cerebro-spinal men insitis. or spotted fever. reported te his department since January l. all of the victims have been children.
 T believe that most of the disease germs are close to the ground he said. We know that these germs are taken into the system through the nose in breathing. They find d breed ing place in the dirt of the streets and as they are stirred up by the pass ing pedestrians, they are drawn into the nose.
 The germs never reach any great altitude Most of them are falling toward the earth, and as the cbiI drea' noses are closer to the ground than those Of adults. they are more likely to inhale the diseasemakers. .a

SIDE BY SIDE.

Ever journeying across tNe desert sands and climbing the arid peaks and foothills of the far southwes! arc two caravans-one seemingly rugged and healthy, though afflicted with disease called goldomania, the other emacluted by the great w1ita plague.
 One is scarcely ,,ore optialistic than the other; one procession seeks a gilt tering yellow dust that mea is riches, the other a mere precious thing health. Though the trail may be long and the water holes lnfrequent; though the desert sun may be blister ing and the tongue swollen with thirst; though the mountains may be steep and the path lstrewn with cacti, there is the glittering substance in the sand little farther on for the argonaut; a lease of life at the horizon, when the red desert sun announces :he dawn of another day, for the white plague's victim.
 To many seeking their wonted vigor the hope that ever carries them on- ward is sometimes as futile as the race after the will-o'- '-the-wisp that lures the argonaut
 But the procession moves on and on the pilgrims can not leave the sands until the mountain air ard sun shine have healed the scars made by deaths chief ally
 The main trail of the weak-lunged leads from Pecos to Yuma. For more than 1000 miles prospeotor and plague ridden traverse its tortuous course. In the caravan seeking gold nearly all are poor. Tn the caravan exiled and fighting for health there are rich and poor, high and low, democratic and fraternal in their ills and expectancy.
 To some this hope is as uncertain of realization as the prospeetor's pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But many who have early joined the pill grims. after years of travel by day un- der the scorching sun and sleep by night in the pure air of the mountain top, end their allotted exile and return to the old home 1000 or more miles distant.
 But the ranks are soon recruited. And some there are who must travel along the great highway until the end.
 Oftentimes the bones of sprospector and plague-ridden are found bleaching in the canyon. The skeleton hand of one is outstretched up the hillside, where others reach the goal-and gold; the bony fingers of the other point home.

MODERN HANDICRAFTS. TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
By Lecturers at Associated
 Societies Meeting Last } Night.

Prof Frank Alvah Parsons of the New York Art school gave a very in- teresting lecture at the United church chapel last night, his subject being "The Relations of the Hanidcrafts to Modern Life" Prof. Parsons said in ] part: There is no more important phase of education than that which teaches the usefulness of the hands. Tine object of such training Is not pri- marily self enjoyment but social eff1- 1ciency The regular line of school stud- ies does not encourage this It can bet ter be obtained through the handicrafts and the modern home is the best place for this development. The boys and girls should be trained in a sense of harmony and the beautiful
 For the last fifteen years there has been a great desire for diversity. Those who have built homes wished for one room on the style prevailing in the time of Ramases II, a dining room in the style of Louis XV, a bedroom in the Elizabethan style for their guests and anything that was different for them selves. Who will say this is the Am erican or the New Haven ideal? Such an arrangement is rather a museum.
 We are on the verge of a new era. The ideal of the people of the middle ages was to fit themselves for the flu rure world. The modern idea is to fit ourselves to live in this world. If we keep ourselves busy enough in this world we will surely be fitted for the next.
 Since we are here for social efficiency we must fit ourselves to the circum- stances. We must feel the social pulse, uniting hand and head. Authorities have differed greatly as to the defni- tion of art but whatever has been said of it, art is the joy and pleasure ex- perienced by a human being whenever anything rare and beautiful Is present. ed to the senses. George D. Post, who is perhaps the greatest living Ameri- can architect, has said, Not until the American people have found that art is not a fad, can they live in the sense that other nations have lived"
 We are made up of body and mind and 1t is for us to find that oceupa- lIOU III WutIli We NSAl oSS@ N<AfANSS v NA selves. Many cooks and coachmen have been spoiled by the wrong sort of train ing. The boys and girls clubs of our cities are the centers in which our boys and girls should be given the right start"
 Superintendent of the public schools gave a short talk on the application of the handicrafts to the schools MT. Beede showed a large number of spec lmens of work done by pupils of the schools. He emphasized the practical nature of the work and the fact that training meant more than the money value of the actual product. He scout ed the idea that other studies suffered

DAUGHTER IS BEATEN
BY BRUTAL FATHER
Miss May Farrell of Berke-
ley Compelled to Flee
From Home

BERKELEY, Feb. PA pitiful
story of abuse at the hands of an un-
natural parent is told by Miss May Far
rell, an 1s-year-old girl, who has fed
from her home in Addison street to
shelter offered her by Mrs. Mary Lopez
at 1114 Francisco street after treat
ment from her father which has
aroused the girls friends to demand
his punishment.
James Farrell is declared to have
whipped his daughter. beating her for
more than an hour last night, because
the girl was unable to give him the
wages he believed she had been paid
by an Oakland business man, whom
she had served for three days of the
week as a clerk.
Miss Farrell became of age last
Wednesday and was hidden to go out
into the world and earn her living. She
secured a place in Oakland, and on Sat
urday Farrell demanded the girls
wages. She had no money and so told
him. Then, as she declares, her beat
ing began. Edward Giblon, a teamster
employed by the Contra Costa Con-
struction Company, heard the noise of
the affair and ran to the girls rescue.
He was unable to help her, even after
seeing her attempt to escape through
a window. which was forced down upon
her as she tried to jump through the
aperture.
After hours of distress the girl
escaped from the house and made her
way to the home of Mrs. Lopez, where
she is domiciled. Complaint to the au-
thorities is to be made to have the
father of the girl punished.
