BOSTON WANTS A DocToR.

1o..o. T,,anatch to New York World.
 One of the most curious and inter estine enterprises in which an Amer ican city has ever been engaged Tn IS the one now being conducted by 6os- ion. which has for its purpose the DOT rowing of a--doctor. Boston. liKe New york. has often borrowed money. And. like New York. she has borrow ed paintings from millionaires Tor nubiic art shows But what the Hub wants now is a doctor. There are several thousand doctors in Boston. many of them graduated from the medical schools of Harvard. Yale, and other great universities. But none of them apparently Is sufficiently quail fled bv experience for the problem Of the hour.
 This great. pressing problem Is tu- berculosis. Mayor Hubbard has gone to Washington to ask the government for the loan of an expert from the marine hospital service or some other Federal medical bureau. The names Suggested by the Mayor were pr. Heiser, now in charge of the health department of the Philippine Islands, Dr. Blue, who drove the bubonic plague out of San Francisco last year: pr. White. who cleaned up New Or leans of yellow fever; Dr. Cofer. who abolished the quarantine ana medi- cal systemm in the Hawaiian Islands.
 Boston. like New York, has had a great accession of foreign population in the last few years. and with the foreigners have come epidemics of contagious diseases. and more espec- ially a large increase in consumption and other diseases of poverty and overcrowding. When Boston finds the expert she wants he will be put. to work reorganizing the health depart ment. The Governor of Massachusetts has been asked to aid in the search for the much wanted expert. Tuber- culosis is costing Boston millions of dollars every year. A sanitary census is to be made. The city and the State are to agree on a joint plan of action in tuberculosis work. There is a movement afoot to have the State take entire control of the consumption problem. If this plan succeeds 1t will be up to the Empire State to watch and profit by the experiment. In New York State. New York city is practi- cally left to take care of itself fin the care and prevention of tuberculosis.

HAVE WOMEN CAPTURED.

There was q time not great many
 years ago when there were dozens.
 and even hundreds. of mining camps
 and COW camps west of the Mississippi
 where . woman was real curiosity.
 Even today there are places where
 they are by no means numerous. Tn
 Wyoming quite recently the men of

 lished to the world their great need
 of women. thereby precipitating

 "encroaching' on the west. The ratio of the sexes Is equalixing. Tn contern- plating the new census which the United States government is about to take one finds himself wondering if 1t will not show that the women have really "captured. the west. It seems quite probable that they have if their ratio of increase in the West has con- tinued during the decade between iso0 and 1910 as 1t did between the census periods of 1890 and 1900.
 | Between those two periods women gained most perceptibly in Idaho and | Colorado. In only one state did tho | men gain---and that state Is terrf- | tory, Arizona In all the others wom- en gained or held thsir own.

 to the showing of the last two cen- sus reports. This. however. has 1 plausible explanation. The propor-i I tion between the sexes. which was dis- turbed by the large number of men killed during the civil war, was right l ing itself while fewer men were feay- ing the east for the west.

New York, Nov. 5--t5pecial t--Aue- line Genee has made her debut as an actress in 'The Silver Star" Her first speaking role Is lost and found girl remarkably reticent. I counted her words.

"The Silver Star" 1s an extravaganza by Harry smith on the American plan, with. tomfoolery by cfowning comedians in the same gen eral way as. say, Mfr.

Gigantic Combination Forming in
Paris to Control Turkish and
Egyptian Cigarette Trade.

s.-Egyptian cigarettes are a
luxury which promise to become much
more costly in the near future. The
crop of leaf used in the preparation
Of these favorite weede will probably.
after next year, get into the hands of
a single group of "ccrnering" specula-
tors. One atom of comfort is that
they cannot touch this years crop.
News has been received from Turkey
that great tobacco combination, With
several millions of capital, is being
formed to control the Turkish and
Egyptian cigarette trade at the front,
and testimony from the home tobac-
conist confirms the rumor that a
really big deal is imminent. A
Partisan cigarette specialist said that
the trade had been unsettled for
some time by the reports, which were
undoubtedly true, and it was we'll
known that prominent Egyptian adj
vocate had been repeatedly in Paris
about tho matter Of late.
