CIGARETTE SMOKING AMONG
ROfS.

An article on this subject, which ap-
peared in the November number OF the
American Magazine, is well-worth
reading by parents and by those having
growing boys under their charge, and
we regret that the Gazette has not
space for the article in full. Below,
however, is summary of the points
the writer makes:
Fifteen per cent of y year old boys
smoke; 20 per cent of those IS years;
3S per cent of those II years; % per
cent OF those Is years; 81 per cent OF
those 16 years and Il per cent Of those
II years old.
The relative standing of the smokers
and non-smokers for these ages is as
follows: II yeas So per cent for non.
smokers, 70 per cent for smokers; Il
years so per cent for non smokers, u
per cent for smokers; II years 50 per
cent for non-smokers. 70 per cent for
smokers: 15 years 81 per cent for non
smokers, IS per cent for smokers; Ii
years ST per cent for non-smokers, IS
per cent for smokers; II years S5per
cent for non-Smokers, 6S per cent for
smokers.
The writer also found that the boys
at the bottom Of the class were almost
always smokers that they were gen
orally older than the average OF their
class; possessing less self-control, less
honest in their work, and usually very
troublesome. -
To be sure there are other habits
among boys which tend to make them
Inefficient and dull" but the writer
found that the boys possessing these
habits were generally smokers, and he
says smoking is likely To put boy
in such y condition that other and
worse habits will be taken up, on ac-
count of weakened moral stamina. "
By means OF physical measurements
he found the smoker below the
average in size for his age;
that smoking is likely TO slant
something, most probably the mind, or
perhaps the body only, or sometimes
both mind and body, rs is the most
usual case" lIo also found that if a
boy did not smoke until of age he was
never likely TO smoke TO excess.
That the writer is qualified TO speak
is shown by the fact that he is physi-
cal director in two schools, gymnasium
director in third, and 4 man who has
taken an active part in athletics Of ali
schools with which he has been con-
nected and that the averages above are
based on personal observations OF more
than five hundred boys.
The seriousness OF this is beyond
question. Virginia has laws for the
prohibition Of the sale OF tobacco and
liquor to minors, but it is, we fear, OBJ
served more in the breach than in its
observance or enforcement.

KOREAN GATHERING
DENOUNCES JAPAN
Representatives of 10000 Ma

Meet at San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.-Eighty
Koreans, gathered in the general Of
fees of the Korean National associa-
tion, and representing 10000 country
men throughout Mexico, Hawaii, China
and the eastern ports of Russia, passed
resolutions tonight firmly repudiating
the cession of the sovereignty of the
Korean empire to Japan and denounc-
ing what they term the "tYrannical
compulsion" in the methods employed
by the Japanese in acquiring the king
dom of Korea.
After a severe arraignment of the
Japanese government for what they
regard as utter disregard of treaties
existing between Korea and Japan, the
usurpation of the rights of Koreans
and the establishment by treachery
and force of arms of a government
universally detested and distrusted by
the whole people Of Korea,'' the reso-
luttons conclude with this pledge:
I'VE, the true sons Of Korea, do de-
termine never to give up our strug-
gle for the liberty and independence
of our dear old Korea until such time
as we shall regain them, and that we
appeal to the justice of the nations
and of Almighty God, to punish this
monstrous crime of a nation without
honor and without faith"
S. Y. Whang, president of the asso-
citation, presided at the meeting.

INSPECTOR DESCRIBES
D|SMANTLING OF CARS
Yard EmpIoye Gives Details of
Methods Employed to De-
fraud Illinois Central

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Fred c. Barbett,
yard inspector of the Ostermann Manu-
featuring company one of the concerns
charged with grating in Illinois Cen
tral railroad car repair contracts, today
on the witness stand described in detail
methods he said were used to defraud
the railroad.
Barbett said Illinois Central cars-"in
strings" of from ten to fourteen-Were
switched into the yards of the Otser-
mann plant at the close of the working
day. Then at night, he said, Henry c.
Ostermann, president of the Ostermann
company, frequently directed the dis
mantling of the cars. Air hose, angle
cocks, brake shoes. bolts and various
other equipment were stripped from the
cars, Barbett testified. Water was then
applied to the various parts where the
equipment had been removed, so that
rust would form anG make the equip
ment appear old.
The equipment taken from the cars
was kept by the Ostermann company,
said Barbett, to make repairs. In this
way the railroad was paying at least
twice for much of it's car equipment.
Barbett also said some of the Illinois
Central car inspectors were receiving
pay checks from the Ostermann COM
pany, and that he had seen various llll-
nois Central officials, including Frank
B. Hartman, former general manager,
visit Ostermanns Office In the shop

BIG TIMBER, Mont, Aug. 30.-Com-
pany c of the Montana national guard
has gone to the scene of a large forest
fire on Boulder reserve, twelve miles
distant, in the Contact national forest.
The forest supervisor there secured
fifteen men to aid him, but the force
was wholly inadequate to cope with
the flames, and the militia was ordered
out by Governor Norris.
Many sheep are ranged upon the
reserve. If the damp weather con-
tinues the soldiers have hopes of
bringing the fire under control within
the next few days.
The fire situation is vastly improved
as a result of the general rain. The
fire in the Nez Perce reserve in Idaho
is out. All the fires in the Bitter Root
mountains south of Missoula are also
out. The fires above Clinton are dead

An extensive pack outfit was dis
patched from Plains, Mont, today to
go up Thompson river to the head Of
Vermillion creek, to subdue the fire
there, and it is believed the rain which
has fallen in the last two days will
make this comparatively easy.

from the death roll, and he is reported

WEATHER BUREAU CHIEF
SCOFFS AT RAINMAKERS
Willis Moore Declares Cannon
Shots Will Not Avail

WASHINGTON, Aug. S0.-Willis L.
Moore, chief of the weather bureau, is
more than skeptical Of the power of
explosives to cause rain.
Declaring that efforts to produce rain
by bombarding the skies would cncour-
age charlatans and would be denounced
by all eminent scientists, Mr.. Moore
has submitted an opinion to Adjutant
General Ainsworth regarding the fire
situation in Idaho and Montana.
He says extensive experiments con-
Quoted by the department of agriculture
have conclusively demonstrated that
rainfall cannot be created by explo-
sives. Rain is produced only by a
marked increase in the vapor contents
of the aid or by a decided lowering OF
the temperature. and men cannot ope-
rate on a scale to stimulate these con-
ditions.
Mai. Gen. Leonard Woods action in
refusing the request of Senator Piles
and Representative Humphreys OF
washington to have 141 guns in Puget
sound fired in the hope Of producing
rain has been approved by the presi-
dent. A dispatch to this effect was re-
ceived from Mr.. Taft by General Wood
