Presidents Daughter Extremely Popu-

President Taft's daughter Helen is
extremely fond of automobiling and
has been seen much on the streets Of
Washington recently in new machine
which her father purchased for her
when he returned from his tour. A
less level head than that possessed by
the new White House belle might have
been turned by the adulation she has
received since her fathers election to
the presidency. but all her acquaint-
ances agree that in her case her posi-
ton has made not the slightest change.
Miss Taft is genuinely popular and
would be favorite even If her father

In paper read before the annual
good roads convention, held recently
at Cleveland, O., Edward N. Hines,
chairman of the board of Wayne coun-
ty road commissioners, expressed his
views regarding concrete roads in the
following manner:
Concrete roads would meet the ideal
conditions of road building because Of
comparatively low first cost, durability,
low maintenance cost, ease of traction
and freedom from dust and mud.
The value OF concrete roads was
shown in recent experiment near
Detroit, Mich, where road was made
seventeen feet eight inches wide of
concrete, with shoulders on each side
of the natural soil, making the width
twenty-six feet over all at it's narrow
est point.

lief that it was the work of Leonardo
da Vinci, but no sooner was it placed
on exhibition than the world of art
was startled by a certain c. F. Cook
sey of Southampton, England. who
claimed that the wax bust was the
work of now octogenarian sculptor,
Richard Cookie Lucas. about the mid
die of the nineteenth century. The
work. Mr.. Cooksey declared, had been
exposed for long time in a garden.
This gave it the appearance of age, he
said, and it also accounted for the
damaged lower part Of the work.
An examination was thereupon had
of the bust. and it was claimed that in
the lower part there were found old
newspapers. Both DR.. Bode and EN-
peror William believe that the bust is
by Da Vinci. but many experts on such
matters do not agree with them.

The progressive potato growers in
Waushara county. Wis, have acted on
the advice Of a soil expert from the
experiment station at Madison and
have ordered carload of ground lime
stone to apply on their sandy soils as
an aid to growing clover for soil i'm
provement. The soils in question have
become sour, and the limestone is for
the purpose Of remedying this defect.
The clover is used in rotation with
the potatoes, and the growers are anx-
ious to get the largest possible growth
of this. Their plan of cooperative car
load ordering is one that sour soil fel-
lows in other sections might adopt
with profit.

The loss to the cattle raising inter-
ests of the country from tick fever is
placed at $4O,OO0,OOO. the malady be-
ing confined to few southern states
and being directly due to little blood
sucking tick about an eighth of an
inch long which in the process of ex-
tracing the blood of the animal at
tackled injects into its circulatory sys-
tenn a virulent microbe which feeds
upon the red blood cells and destroys
them, thus producing the disease
known as tick fever. The federal au-
thorities are doing all in their power
to reduce the losses from the disease,
having found the fever can be eradi-
Gated if the tick causing it can be de-
stroyed, and it is this phase of the
campaign which is at present occupy
ing their energies.

TETRAZZINI SINGS
 IN THE OPEN AIR

San Francisco, December A.-(Special.) Beneath a canopy of stars and before a crowd estimated at more than 100000 per- sons, Mime. Louisa Tetrazzini this even ing sang at Lotta's fountain, Third and Market streets, in the most remarkable Christmas celebration in the history of song.
 Standing on a high platform, while the crowd that surged around her for blocks in all directions stood in awed silence, the diva sang "The Last Rose of Sum- mer," followed by the waltz song from 'Romeo and Juliet"
 The reception given Mile. Tetrazzini was most remarkable. When she made her appearance on the platform shortly be- fore S3O p. m. mighty shout went up and it was several minutes before the demonstration subsided. Then a fanfare Of trumpets was the signal for all the men in the crowd to hold their hats dur ing the rendition of "The Last Rose of Summer"
 At the conclusion of the programme another demonstration was given the diva and 1t was not until she had left the platform and returned to the Palace hotel that there was any let up in the noise making.
 Though the crowd that gathered to par take of Tetrazzini's Christmas present to San Francisco was the greatest ever con- gregated in a gver space In San Fran cisco, there was little confusion and no serious accidents.

NOTHING HEARD
 FROM AVIATOR

London, December 24.-(Special.) .)-The last hope has been abandoned by the searchers who are sweeping the British coast and the North sea for Cecil s. Grace, the English aviator. who made the trip across the English channel as far as the Belgian frontier and has not been seen since he started to recross the channel from Calais to Dover.
 It was rumored tonight that the crew of a fishing boat had seen the aviator fall into the North sea, but telegrams sent to all points along the coasts of Belgium and Holland were all answered to the effect that there was no news of the airman. There is no confirmation of the report that an airship without a pas senger has been picked up in the North sea.
 There are some friends of Grace who find encouragement in the belief that he may have been picked up at sea by ves- gel outward bound to distant port, but this is considered unlikely. The most plausible theory of his disappearance 's that he lost his bearings in the fog and instead of approaching Dover, bore out over the Goodwin Islands, range of shoals at the southern end of the North sea.
 Ouicksands stretch for 10 miles along the coast about half mile from shore and 1t is there that it is feared Grace met his death.
 Every effort to find him has been made. Automobiles have traversed every foot of the coast and torped boats have ex- plored the water with wireless and searchlights.
 Grace, it Is believed, did not have a compass. He is said to have disregarded advice to take this precaution before starting.
 The case threatens to become the first enc in which the absolute disappearance of an aeroplane figures. The fact that the range of the aeroplanes up to the present time has been restricted almost to five or six-hour flights has made the complete disappearance of an aviator all most impossible.

done up in one package, or in two, but he was inclined to think they had all been sent under the same cover. In that case, he estimated the total value of the pack age might run to s400oo, or even S50,0OO. The prize score was to have received $10, coo and whatever the loss, he feared it would be irreparable. as he doubted if any duplicates were to be had.
 The two packages received at the Dam rosch home were all the driver had In his wagon when he stopped at a tenement d couple of blocks east in the same street, He was ten minutes in making a collec- tion. and when he left the tenement one of the packages was gone. The block in which the theft was committed houses a number of characters known to the police as "guerillas." It was only a few doors away that the Rizso and Longo boys re- gently restored to their parents. were held in captivity by kidnapers.

LORIMER CASE IS
 NOT YET FINISHED

Washington, December 24.-tSpecial)- Senators Cummins, Borah, Bristow, La Toilette, Beyeridge. Culberson, Rainer and probably others, are now mentioned as likely to jump into the fight In the Senate which is coming on the Lorimer case.
 Hitherto the name of Senator Cummins has not been mentioned in connection with the probable light
 It is now said that he will in all prob ability take a hand and that if a minori- ty report is made by Senator Beveridge or by Senator Frazier he will help back it up.
 A number of senators who are mildly regular who are sometimes denominated near insurgents" are uneasy over the situation. Several of them may be drawn into the fight against Lorimer. Should there be a serious split in the ranks of the regulars on this matter there is no telling what would happen.
 It Is already clear that most or all the insurgents are bent on attacking the majority report In the Lorimer case. That part of the democrats will do so and if now regulars begin to break away from Isorimer something like a panic may be stirred up among the senators on whose support he has been relying.

New York, December 24.-A package be- lieved to contain a $10,00o prize music score, addressed to George W. Chadwick, director of the New England Conserva- tory of Music In Boston, was stolen to- night from an express wagon standing in front of an uptown dwelling house.
 No motive Is assigned in the bare re- port made to the police.
