PEAhY TALKS OF HIS GREAT DASH
 TO NORTH POLE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.)

 continued, q was informed by Whitney and Norton that the general proposal was that Norton should get up another party of sportsmen, and that this party who were to be Whitney's friends or relatives should pick him up. Whitney had no doubt as to this ship coming north and when the Roosevelt was sighted by Eskimos al Etah, August '. last Whitney started out at once in a sail boat for the Roosevelt under tn e impression that she was his ship.
 ''As a matter of fact, the party of sportsmen did not materalize. but the relief vessel Jeanie was sent north to bring Whitney back. On her arrival Whitney was transferred from the Roosc- welt to the Jeanie and he is now proh- ably engaged in hunting bear some where on the west side of Baffin Bay or Davis strait"
 Asked if Dr. Cook was aware that Whit ney expected a ship and what his req sons could be for not returning to the United States on that vessel if he wanted to go back, Commander Peary said he did not know. He explained that Whitney might have expected his ship at Etah about August }. If the Jeanie had re- turned at once after taking Whitney on board, the commander continued, she coulf have reached Sydney August 15 or 20, at least.
 Asked how pr. Cook made his way from Etah to South Greenland, Comma nder Peary replied that he probably travelled by dogs and sledges south and across Melville bay.
 Fascination for AL
 All the members of Commander Peary' s party agree that the far north has a mys- terious fascination fer them and they say they would like to go back.
 ProfasSOr McMillan declared today that the Eskimo language is not confined to A few hundred words, as he had been led to suppose. but that it probably con tained thousand VOTES at least. He be- lieves there is great field here for eth nologlsts to determine where the EsiSimos came from and he hopes to go north again to take up this study.
 Dr. Goodsell, another member of the expedition, is of the opinion that the Japanese and the Eskimos are of the same racial stock.
 The Eskimos of northern Greenland are the most northerly people of the world. They are called "Pearys tribe cen sus taken by Professor McMillan shows that their numbers are increasing. Some years ago they were threatened with extinction, but now they number 2lS. When the Roosevelt left their shores no member of the expedition would tell them that this was their last visit. but they seemed to understand this fact, inas- much as the pole had been reached, and gathered on the shore, they wept at her departure and waved signals as long as she was in sight
 The following dispatch was received to- day by Captain Bartlett of the Roose- welt, from Governor Williams of New foundland: U 'I transmit with pleasure the enclosed message from the Earl of Crewe, secre- tary of state for the colonies:
 T congratulate Captain Bartlett and his men on their safe return from the arduous enterprise in which they. as New foundlanders. have taken so important a part GREW E.

MAY SUTTON
Tells American Girls How To Be
 Healthy and Graceful.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal
 Don't drink coffee.
 Don't drink tea.
 Don't exercise too much.
 These three don'ts constitute the ad- vice of Miss May Sutton, champion woman tennis player of the world to girls who would so in seriously and systematically for athletics
 Eat what you want
 Take long walks.
 Get all the fresh air you can
 These are the three rules Miss Sutton laws down for girls who desire merely to be strong and healthy.
 The little champion recently appeared on courts in San Francisco in series or exhibition matches. II had been reported that she was not in the best Of health, but she gave no indication or having gone bacly' playing her strong game that made her worlds champion, win her same old dash and accuracy.
 At the close of the series Miss Sutton was aked to tell what system of train ing she had found most effective and what. in her opinion. is the best form of exercise and diet for the average American girls. In part she said
 "While I advocate hearty eating, l cannot say too much against the use of tea or coffee. They are nerve destroyers and no one can be healthy who persists in their use.
 ITO much exercise is as bad as too little. Walking is the best exercise there is Early each morning, after drinking a glass of hot water dressed in loose clothing, l walk for nearly an hour.
 Athletics should receive some atten- tion from every girl If her time pre- clldes the playing of tennis or golf she should take long walks in the open air, both before the morning and evening meal, throwing the head and shoulders back and taking long. deep draughts of that which money cannot buy but is in reach of the poor as well as the rich pure air
 Pure air and a moderate amount of exercise I cannot too strongly impress upon girls as being the only secret of health and grace. Medicine for that out-of-sorts feeling may cause girls to imagine they feel all right but what they really need 10 more fresh air and not quite so much sitting around the house in tight-ntting clothes as great many of them do."

Mccarthy Gies Views.

Fergus w. Mccarthy, the wellknown attorney, who has attended every impor tant convention held for the past 20 years. gave out the following interview on his return from the anti-amendment conven- ton held in Montgomery:
 q am just back from the convention held in Montgomery In my opinion np abler more patriotic body of men has ever met In Alabama. It was certainly the most intellectual and representative Q body that has met in our state since the constitutional convention Of 1S1o, when our state was redeemed from earpetbng Y misgovernment. On the stage were such leaders as eX-Governors Cobb. Oats and Jellxs and John B. Knox, president of the last constitutional convention. A notice able thing about the convention was tho part played by such prominent temper ance leaders as Frank Moody and Charles Henderson. Both prohibitionists and anti prohibitionists have joined forces to defeat this useless, political movement of en- grafting police regulation upon our con- sttution.
 T think that the committees appointed were composed of ablo, strong and pa triotic men. I am especially pleased with the appointment of J. Lee Long as chair man of the campaign committee. He is a good organizer, as shown by this mag nifcent convention, and no man would lead the fight more fearlessly than he,
 "There were scores of other prominent leaders who have fought the battles Of de . mocracy since the war, and who will lend their abilites to the defeat of this amend ment."

by the use to which these creatures are put in

they serve in the conduct of very simple and

This test is based upon the fact that, when the
fever has lasted for about two weeks, a certain
substance called aggutinin, is engendered in
the blood of the patient which causes the bac-
terra to adhere together. A rabbit or guinea
pig, selected as the victim to science, is injected
with typhoid bacteria, develops the disease and
in due time yields agglutinin. When it is de-
sired to ascertain if patient is suffering from

this morning. when fire was discovered in
the basement. The flames were extin-
guished after about $500 damage had re-
suited.
According to Leo Simmons. 1927 Bel
mont street, owner of the apartment, the
janitor told him he had placed a guam
tity of waste paper near the furnace for
the purpose of burning it. He was called
upstairs shortly afterward.
Some time later colored woman who
happened to go to the basement discov-
cred the place full of smoke She ran up
stairs and informed the janitor. He
sounded an alarm from box S1S.
When the firemen reached the scene
the flames had spread through the base
ment and had burned their way through
the flooring to the apartment of Charles
Becker, where considerable damage was
done. Another apartment was also
slightly damaged before the firemen could
extinguish the blaze.
After sounding the alarm the janitor
ran back to the apartment and notified
the fiat dwellers of the danger. Smoke
ascending to the upper floors by way Of
the dumb waiter shaft had already ex-
cited alarm.
Two women on the second floor were
taken down a ladder by firemen. Other
women on the fourth floor reached the
ground by way of the fire escape. All
others in the house got out of the build

FRENCH POSITION ON TARIFF
CUSTOMS OFFICIALS HERE AD-
VIsED ONLY BY RUMOR.
Understood the Maximum Rate Will
Be Applied to American
Products November l.

Customs officials Of the Treasury know
nothing of the reported intention of
France to apply the maximum tariff rate
of that country to iInportations from the
United States. All they know is that the
Payne tariff bill provided maximum and
minimum rates of tariff, and that this fea-
ture of the bill goes into effect March 81
next. 1t will be impossible to retaliate on
France before that time. should that coun-
try start tariff war upon the manufac-
tured and other products of the United
States. Frances proposition, as unof-
ficially understood by the customs officials,
is to begin the imposition of maximum
rates November 1.
The customs administration of the
Treasury has no authority to apply the
maximum or minimum rate of duty upon
the goods of foreign countries coming to
the United States. They can only act
upon the orders Of the President of the
United States. who is made the person to
determine what rate should be made The
tariff commission recently appointed by
the President was created for the purpose
Of aiding the President in determining
what he should do at any time as to the
alleged discrimination of foreign countries
against the products Of the United States.
