BOYS TAKE A BACK SEAT
Spelling Contests Held In New Orleans
Prove Girls Superior TO Their
Brothers.

The result OF the spelling contests
in the New Orleans public schools
again demonstrates the superior pro-
ficiency Of the girls. practically all OF
the victors being members Of the
gentler sex Last year the same thing
was true and the matter was quite
generally commented on In the press
and at gatherings where educational
subjects were discussed.
So far as our information goes there
have been no contests 10 determine
the pupils I'm other branches OF study.
but II would be interesting 20 know
II this feminine superiority is found
to exist in all studies. or II they are
confined only TO particular branches.
Doubtless this result is due In part 10
the fact that the female mind ripens
al an earlier age than Is the case with
the masculine mind. although there Is
little doubt that the feminine intel
lect along certain lines is more acute
than the masculine. which would seem
10 justify the conclusion that certain
branches of study are more readily
mastered by girls and women.
In view OF the growing number OF
young women that are going into 20
sitions as stenographers. typewritists
and other positions requiring an &C
curate knowledge OF spelling. this dem
onstrated proficiency is most crafty
ing. The public school administra-
ton Is to be commended upon the ef-
forts Il has made 10 improve the
spelling OF the public school pupils
and the triumphant girls to be con-
graduated upon their easy victory

These lawyers agreed in their opin-

ASKS FOR CLOSED
SEASON FOR BASS
Game Law Commissioner Seeks
to Protect Fish.
WANTS THE LAW REVISED
G. w. Miles Intends 20 Fill Lakes
Until the People OF the State
viii Take Interest in
the Work.


taking bass from the lakes of the
state. from April to May IS. is being
proposed by George w. Miles, recent
IL appointed state fish and game com
missioner TO succeed z. T. Sweeney.
Miles will go before the next legisla-
ture and ask for the enactment of a
law providing for such season,
basing his arguments on the fact that
under the present fish and game laws,
lake bass cannot multiply with sui
fcienu rapidity 10 met the demands of
the fishermen. Miles will not ask a
closed period for any other fish. His
recommendation for legislation in be-
half OF the bass will also include a
proposed amendment 10 the present
law limiting the number OF bass for
one days sport to IS instead of SO, as
is now allowed.
Il believe il of the greatest i'm
portance that there shall always be a
new crop OF fish coming on in the nat
ural way" said Mr. Miles. Then II
the old ones are taken more rapidly
than they ought TO be. or even by
unlawful means. there will be assur-
ance against depletion OF the waters
OF the state.
by the middle OF May the various
water plants have always grown up in
the shadows around the nests OF the
bass sufficiently to protect them
against the manner of fishing | just
mentioned. and Il we had a law that
would give the parent bass protection
until that time It would be sufficient.
although they do not finish brooding
until a somewhat later date. I hope
the next legislature will enact a law
making such closed season end pro
viding a penalty for having bass in
ones possession during that time.
10 not deem a closed season for other
fishes necessary at this time. If. under
such a law. anyone fishing for blue
gills or croppies should hook bass. Il
should be made his duty under the
law 10 return IL to the water as quick
~ and with as little injury TO the fish
as possible | believe the fish and
game department could easily enforce
such 4 law. and believe that all the
true sportsmen OF the state would help
us in its enforcement. In 1906 the
general assembly enacted a law ma
king a closed season for all fish I'm
all the lakes of the state. but this
proved so unpopular that IL was re-
pealed two years later. / will not ask
for a law which will prevent the farm
ers and sportsmen from fishing for
any kind OF fish during April and the
first half OF May except in the case
OF the lake bass.
With the law have proposed.
said Mr. Miles, Il believe that within
a few years can fill our lakes and
streams with fish until the good peo-
pie Of the state will take a kindlier in
te-est in the work of the fish and
game department And in this Office,
I shall try to see that the laws are
enforced in the spirit in which they
were intended. for the protection OF
our fish and game and not to swell the
funds OF the department by having
assessed as many fines as possible"

NEW THROUGH KATY TRAIN.
Fast Service Between Chicago and
Galveston Is Planned.

Fort Scott, Kan, July 15.-It has
ben learned here that the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railway company is
planning to install a new fast train
between Chicago and Galveston in the
near future and that the officers of
the company are now arranging the
details of the new service. The addi-
ton of this new train is of interest to
Fort Scott as it will go drought Fort
Scott and give the people of this city
additional service on that line
The new train according to the in
formation received in Fort Scott will
be run from Chicago on the Chicago
& Alton tracks to Roodhouse, I'LL, and
on the same company's tracks to Hig-
bee, Mo. At that point the train will
use the Katy tracks and will come
through Fort Scott and Parsons on its
way to the Gulf coast.
