HE Chicago Tribune publishes the
Il portrait of Chicago working girl
and declares that she is the most beauti-

The Sunday Call believes that Chicago
does not monopolize the beauty of the
United States
On this account we have challenged
The Tribune to a contest, the decision
of which is to be left to impartial
Judges, as to whether California cannot
produce a more beautiful woman than
the Chicago beauty.
We want your help.
We want you to help us find the most
beautiful woman in all California.
Send us the photograph of the most
beautiful California woman you know.
The honor of the State is at stake.

But we must have your help. The
ladies themselves cannot be expected to

will be published in The Sunday Call.
The woman adjudged by the jury to be
the most beautiful in California will be

 Held up at a revolver's muzzle, Mrs John J. Carroll was obliged to witness the ransacking of her tene- ment in Hartford yesterday after noon. Before her eyes three men tore open trunks and rihed wardrobes and clothing in their search for money. The gang posed as truckmen seeking the effects of Patrick Phelan. Mrs CarrolPs brother-in-law. They got $7O and drank up a bottle of whiskey. How they managed to disappear is one of the mysteries of the case.
 An OF clo' mans son who is fresh man at Trinity college has been roughly handled by sophomores and the fracas has had the whole college by the ears all week.

DR WALSH HERE
Learned Lecturer Talked 10 a Large Audience at NO!re Dame.

It is long time since Waterbury audience listened to so cultured a speaker as James J. Walsh, M D, Ph ID, IL D, of Fordham university who lectured at the Convent of Notre Dame last night under the auspices of the Alumnae association. His sub- ject was How Little Inheritance Counts in Life," and was treated in most original manner.
 He began by telling of inheritance in nature; how plants and trees re- produce their kind Then he spoke of animals. Here he gave results of ob- servations which he had made of diff ferent animals and insects which showed him to be a naturalist of no mean ability. He called the instincts Of animals which led them to provide for their young and to preserve their species their burden of inheritance. ," Then the learned doctor went on to speak of May. Talking as physician he dwelt on the influence of heredity in disease, how medical science has exploded many ideas in this regard and of the advancement in the diag- nosis and treatment of disease.
 In his remarks on the origin of life he was most interesting, talking as both scientist and philosopher. He repudiated Darwinism, and made the point that man alone of all the ami nal kingdom does not inherit the cul- ture of his forefathers but that each one must work out his own individ- ual physical and mental develop ment. He spoke of the many schools of thought of past centuries, showing how ideas of the origin of life had changed at different times in the worlds history, and said that many theories of the scientists are still in nebulous stage, and must not be talk en as true standards of thought.
 Doctor Walsh's lecture was certain ly a treat. His retelling of the old classic myths and legends was de- lightful and his easy converse tional style made him most entertaining speaker He may be induced to re- turn to Waterbury at an early date so that he may be heard by the gen. eral public.
 The Alumnae was present in large numbers and nearly all of the Catho- lie doctors and lawyers and business men of the city were present. the Celtic Medical society being especial ly well represented.
 Father James O'Brien, acting pas. tor of the Immaculate Conception church, introduced the speaker very cleverly. There was harp, violin and piano music before the lecture.
