mercial competitions of nations, as wei
as to promote two of the chief objections
of goyernment-the public health anC
morals.
The value of this method of com
batting the growth of the liquor habit il
emphasized in the report. While &C
acknowledgement is made that the organi'
cation of associations of juvenile alb
stainers is useful, it is declared, the CHIEF
reliance should be placed on scientific
temperance education in the public
schools as a means Of Kidding the public
mind of errors about the effects of alco-
hol, and substituting the facts that the
science is declared to have evolved about
the use of the beverage, even when
taken in small doses.
WOULD MAKE TEACHERS LEARN EFFECTS.
In furtherance of the plan, Mrs.
Edith Smith Davis, of Milwaukee, Wis.
superintendent of the Worlds and Ma
tional Christian Temperance Union,
and one of the American delegates,
urged the necessity of getting to the
root of the matter by compelling the
curricula of normal schools and univer-
stiles to include such education. In
this way, Mrs. Davis contended, the
younger generation would be assured of
proper instruction on the subject.
Miss Cora F. Stoddard, of Boston,
another American delegate, and secre-
tary of the Scientific Temperance Fed
Grafton, also devoted to the same sub
iect her address, which was the first pa
per of the Congress. In it she dwelt
upon the important relations at such in
struction in the schools of national
progress. She put forward the benefit
derived by a number of countries
through the adoption of such plan as
proof that it should become universal.
The United States, according to the
report, made an unusually good show
ing in its exhibits. Germany also was
to the fore with particularly fine col
lection of colored charts showing the eff
feet of alcohol on the body, the family
and upon society. Especially effective,
it is said, were the stereopticon slides of
the National Temperance League of
Great Britain.
The relations of drunkenness to crime
was subject that received much atten-
ton at the Congress. The chief justice
of England, Lord Alyerstone, announced
that in his belief 80 per cent of the
crimes passing under his observation
were due to drink.

who presides at the Second District Pc
lice Court in that city, declared that o.
the cases passed upon by him, fully st
per cent of those convicted could charge
their degradation to the use of alcohol.
Lieut.. Col. McHardy, Of Edinburgh
Scotland, conceded with Judge Pollard,
as to the percentage Of crimes occurring
in the former Scotch capital.
Judge Pollard won the support of the
delegates from twenty-three countries
for the adoption of his plan to suspend
sentence in the case of every first Of
fender who is brought into court charged
with drunkenness. This involves such
first offenders signing pledge to alb
stain for one year. If the probationers
fail to live up to their pledge they may
be arrested and summarily ntenced.
The knowledge that one d nix may
mean a prison sentence, Jud Pollard
argued, kept many a man straight until
he had time to collect himself. The
penalty for failure to keep faith with
the court was not settled, several of the
delegates arguing in favor of various
degrees of punishment. The principle,
however, was regarded as admirable,
and 400 delegates urged its adoption by
the various governments of the world.

ALCOHOL BLOCKING PROGRESS
American Delegates to International
Congress Make Their Report.

Washington, November 7.-Alcohol
and alcoholism are two of the real and
substantial enemies of moral, artistic
and commercial progress of the human
race, according to the report OF the
United States delegates to the Twelfth
International congress on Alcoholism,
made public by the State Department
to-day. The delegates were appointed
by Secretary Knox, as one OF the first
official acts. The Congress was held
last July in London, and twenty-five
governments were represented, the dele
gates of each concurring in the general
finding that alcohol not only was I'M
necessary to human life and comfort,
but was nimical to BOTH
Three departments OF the United
States Government were represented by
delegates, the State, Navy and Treasury.
Twelve representatives went abroad, and
all of them unanimously signed the re-
port made public to-day, the finding OF
.s-,,h;ch is to condemn the drinking habit
rigorous to public health and morals
and subversiye of national, moral, CON-
mercial and military greatness.
According to the report, the interest
shown in the Congress was greater than
ever was known before. Because OF the
information evolved at the Congress, the
delegates accepted the invitation OF the
Oueen Of Holland to hold their next
meeting, two years hence, at The Hague,
in conjunction with the conference OF
the committee that is working for in
ternational peace.
BELIEVE IN TEACHING CHILDREN.
While the Congress urged the necessl-
ty of imposing the most rigorous re-
strictions on the sale and traffic In al
coholic LIQUORS, it regarded as equally
important the need of educating the
younger generation to true knowledge
Of what alcohol is and what its effects
upon the human system are. The dele
gates believe that the numerous recent
discoveries as to the harmfulness OF
drunkenness, and even of moderate"
drinking, also should be set before
children, in order that they may see the
danger of the practice. The American
delegates sum up this phase of their re-
port by saying:
Increased teaching as to its character
and influence should be provided, tocon-
serve industrial efficiency in the COM

The Spread OF Fashion.

English court, with regard to fash
ion, began regularly trucking to Paris
as early as the sixteenth century.
Modern fashion began in courts and
has gradually spread to the lowliest
homes until now even the poorest
struggling girls Of Paris, Berlin and
New York must follow 1t, even II 1t
is only in some cheap penny trumpery
imitation. A true aesthetic and sclen.
tifc fashion in clothing is among life's
most necessary cultures and blessings.
but modern madcap mimicry is as in.
furious as demoralizIng. Still It is no
worse than the insanities OF mans
fashions during the middle ages. In.
deed, there are foolish old men and
silly young fellows who are Just as
absurd about dress as any woman,
and can think and talk of little else.
Lots of ignorant. overdressed men sit
up and survey each other from head
TO foot after the manner OF worse
