SOCIAL PURITY
Is DISCUSSED

Burlington, Ia, October 1S.-Ignorance
of parents was ascribed as one of the
leading causes of social impurity by Mrs.
Mary e. Teats of Chicago, in delivering
a chief address today at the first annual
convention of correspondence schools of
gospel and scientific eugenics, held as a
preliminary meeting for the national
purity congress, which meets tomorrow.
Mrs. Teats declared immoral resorts and
dives could not be wiped out until parents
became better educated In the care and
direction of their children. She also as
serted that the publication of scandals
in place of reports of events of an up
lifting nature tended to keep morals on
a decline.
The Rev. Charles A. Morrell, superin-
tendent of the Purity farm of Stella,
Okla, urged the importance of instruct
ing boys about the duties and response
/, bilities of mairiagehood and parentage.

THE PANAMA CANAL
FORTIFICATIONS
Defenses Must Be Ready When
Canal Is Finished
BOARD STUDIES SUBJECT
Officers of the Army and Navy Make
Up Personnel of the Board and
They Will Handle the Matter
During the Winter
BOARD STUDIES SUBJECT

Washington, October 1S.-The impor-
1ant work of constructing Notifications
for the entrances to the Panama canal
will be given careful consideration by a
joint army and navy board during the
coming winter This board, the person
mel of which has been partly completed,
will visit the isthmus and make inves-
LEGATIONS of conditions so that Con-
gress may be prepared to act intelli-
gently as soon as it is decided that the
work of terrifying shall begin.
Colonel Cocktails, the chairman and
the chief engineer Of the canal COM
mission, has promised that the canal
shall be ready TO be opened by Janu-
airy 10, 1915, and the President and his
cabinet feel that the work of placing
that waterway in an impregnable posi-
ton should be finished or at least well
under way by the time the canal is
ready for practical uses.
The board will consist of Brig. Gen.
william L. Marshall chief of engineerst
Brig. Gen. william Crozier, chief of
ordnance Brig. Gen. Arthur Murray
chief of coast artillery; Brig. Gen. W.
W. Witherspoon, assistant chief of
staff; two naval officers yet to be
selected and possibly others
The general question of the FORTH
cations of the canal has been discussed
by the army and navy for years. 1t is
possible that if the report is made in
time Congress may at this session ap-
propriate money for the work. The
new board will have available consid-
cradle data on which to inaugurate
work, for in 1906 the national coast de-
Tense board. of which President Taft
was then at the head, made a thorough
examination into the whole subject of
fortifcations and recommended an ex-
penditure of $4,S27,S6S.
It may be found desirable by the
board to make changes found neces
sary as a result of developments in ma
tional defense.
The board in 1906 took the position
that while it might appear that the
ultimate defense of the canal must rest
with the navy. the fleet sh ould not be
tied so closely to ii as to lose its Of
fensive power.
The board recommended the install
1ation at the entrances, eight of the L.
inch guns, and so 12-inch mortars with
the necessary accessories.

skeleton of young woman partly COW
cred by shreds of linen which once were

ish bow of ribbon. The teeth were
well cared for, with several gold fll-
ings. 1t was evident that the victim
had been dead for about q year. The
skull was intact, showing no marks OF

tain whether 1t is case of suicide or

TREAT DISCUSSES
LESSONS OF PANIC

Boston, October 1s.-Makng probably
his last public appearance before his
retirement from the office of treasurer of
H. Treat of washington tonight addressed
the bank officers association in Ford
hall on National Clearing House and
Bank and the Currency Problem"
The meeting was presided over by For
mer Secretary of the Navy John D. Long
Treasurer Treat said among other
things:
1.-The lessons of the recent panic nave
emphasized the Importance OF having CO.
ordination among the banks of the coun-
try. This desire has taken shape more
particularly In the advocacy by import
ant financial interests of the establish
ment of a great central or clearing house
bank and that would provide resources
whereby the banks could have adequate
facilities for rediscountng their loans,
and thereby be afforded such banking ac-
Communications as business requires.
while l am an advocate of a CEN
trial or national clearing house bank, the
great benefit of which will be the oppor-
tunity for rediscounting loans that 1t Of
fers to other banks, l am still convinced
that the people would not accept any
currency that does not have the govern
ment guarantee behind IT.
THE extraordinary suggestion has been
put out that in order to prevent further
depreciation of the per cent bonds eX-
detrimental legislation authorizing the es-
Establishment of postal savings banks
should be enacted so that the money
savings of the people might absorb the
output of some seven hundred and thirty
millions of 2 per cent bonds and there
by safeguard the governments credit
Matters would have seemed to have
cached a deplorable state if the gov
eminent credit has to seek such form
of relief.
st am not so vigorously opposed to a
restricted experiment with postal saw
ings banks in such states as have not the
facilities for savings banks, but do not
!! deem it wise to embark on large scale
incumbering the administrative govern
ment with individual affairs which II
seems to me cannot be so developed and
conserved by public administration as by
individual direction and responsibility.
