SOCIETY STUDIES
CHILDREN'S PLAY
Finds "Ring of Roses Their
FavOrite Game.

London. Oct. 29-Since the workings Of
a child's mind are to most grown-ups
mysterious and unfathomable, there Is a
body in England called the Child Study So
ciety. which seeks 10 penetrate these mys-
teries. The association has been conduct
ing an inquiry during the last two years
10 ascertain what games and what toys
English children like best and why.
Nine thousand forms have been dis
tributed TO school children between three
and thirteen years OF age. and the re-
suits are now announced Both with
girls and boys ring OF roses" was an
easy first favoTite among games between
the ages Of three and six A common
reason for this preference was Because
I Ike 10 fan down"
After that, skipping for girls came
next. but tne boys were strong for cTfck-
ct and football and horses In spite Of
rumors TO the contrary the dolls remain
the favOrite toy with English girls Sec
ond in popularity came a dolls carriage
and third, a dolls house Boys. u
seems, are much more liberal in their
tastes, and go in for engines. horses
bells, and magic lanterns. Books are
hardly ever mentioned
The reasons given by the children were
often quaint one child volunteered the
statement that games take ones mind
of unpleasant thoughts and duties %
Others gave reasons such as keeps chill
dren from worrying their parents" or
keeps me In at night" Up To the age
of ten love Of power was the prevailing
sentiment. and reasons for preferring
one toy over another took the form Of
an answer such as Il like TO make il

SERBS MEET RULER.
Place Petition for Liberty to EN-
perOr Franz Josef.

Vienna. oct 29-As the Emperor Fran
els Joseph drove through the gates Of the
Hofburg in Vienna the other day six
peasants dressed IN picturesque Slav cos
tune knelt down in the roadway and lift
ed their hands in supplication They We're
Austrian Serbs and they had a petition
to present
They represented $1,000 peasants living
on the frontier of Croatia, descended from
the military colOnists who were settled
there long ago to form a barrier against
Servian raids When in the eos his So
called borderland was united with Croa-
tia the inhabitants obtained a promise
of the ownership Of the soil they had oc-
cupied on kind of feudal tenure on the
payment OF a number Of lnstallments
These payments We're completed years
ago, but the big landlords ana the com
munal authorities nevertheless claimed TO
retain the ownership OF the land and a
long lawsuit followed
In 1908 the highest court decided in the
peasants favor. but the judgment was
never made effective. Then the peasant
sent a deputation to ask for an audience
with the Emperor. but as this also suf-
fered great delay the men adopted the
primitive method Of holding up the En-
peror's carriage. Francis Joseph, who is
very popular with the rural population
Immediately ordered an inquiry into the

FORTS ON RIVER SCHELDT.
Europe Aroused by strengthening of
Strategic Point.

Berlin Oct 29-The Notifications Of
the estuary OF the River ScheIdt on the
Dutch-Belgian frontier might play an
important part in war between the
great European powers. Some, therefore,
see the hand of the German Emperor in
the project recently made public in Hol-
land Of strong Notifications to be erected
at Flushing, where the Scheidt empties
itself into the North Sea. The eXpendi-
lures foreseen by the Dutch govern
ment for river Notifications amount to
$40 0c00C0. a sum which the Dutch gov
eminent would hardly Doe willing 10
spend except under pressure
Public opinion in Belgium is somewhat
preoccupied with this plan, as one OF its
consequences would be to isolate Ant
werp IN the event OF war. The Relgians
have always reckoned that Antwerp, the
Belgian commercial metropolis. could al
ways be within the friendly reach of the
British fleet should a European war
break out and should German troops
invade Belgium: but with a double range
Of fortihcauons on the Scheldt Antwerp
would be at the mercy Of any continental
invader.

CROWD PREVENTS
CZAR'S SHOPPING
Ruler Flees from Curious
Ones in Frankfort.

Berlin. Oct 29-The Gar Of Russia had
= lively day at Frankfort recently when
he stopped there with his host. the Grand
Duke OF Hesse. The two royalties
mnehed al hotel and then started TO
motor 10 some shops
They had only gone a few yards when
some street urchins detected the identity
OF the Car. and their shouts attracted
crowd, which besieged a jewelry shop In
the Kaiserstrasse. where the Car sought
refuge from the curiosity seekers. Find
ing 1t impossible TO leave by the front
door. the grand duke signaled the chauf-
feur 10 drive around by the rear door.
The Gar and his party thus succeeded
in escaping by the back entrance before
the crowd could execute the hanking
movement, and they drove away at top
speed 70 another quarter Of the town.
Later IN order 10 make the people be-
lieve that he had already left Frankfort
the Gar remained an hour in a china
shop but the news OF his presence had
become common property. and a crowd
OF many hundreds took possession of the
street facing the shop Half dozen
secret service men attempted 10 clear q
way through which the Car could reach
his car, but the curiosity OF the people
was Unsuitable and they refused 10 move
Finally the grand duke. whose patience
was thoroughly exhausted, shouted. an
grily.
Enough at this II is time TO put an
end 10 this nuisance
Then the Car and his companions. sur
rounded by detectives, pushed their way
by main force into the car and sped
away with all possible haste II Is not
likely that the Car will ever care 10 do
any shopping in Frankfort again

BERT0N AFFAIR QUASHED.
Magistrate Holds There Is No Case
Against Woman

Paris. Oct. 29.-The local Brittany mag
istrate who has been investigating the
peculiar BertOn aflair decided to-day that
there was no cause for trial. Some time
ago discharged servants OF Mime. Pierre
Francis Samuel Berton, wife of the au-
thor Of 'Zaza." wrote to the police charg-
Ing that they had often seen her put a
white powder on plates served to her
daughter-in-law Nine Claude Berton.
whose maiden name was Caroline Hamil-
ton Phipps. and whose father is a physi.
elan AT Seattle. Wash.
They also stated that the elder Nine
Berton had given her daughter-in-Iaw
some soup. which was left untouched
and when il was fed 10 dog the animal
became violently sick. When the younger
Mime. Berton left the villa during the alb
sence Of her mother-in-law the servants
told their stories to the police.
Claude Berton compelled his wife 10 re-
turn 20 his fathers home, but it was said
at the time that they confirmed the
stories told by the servants. She declined
however, TO make any charge against
her mother-in-law. The prominence of
the parties and the repetition OF the
stories by the servants compelled an in
vestigation. The magistrates decision
means that there is no evidence on which
TO make charges against the elder Nine
Berton.

KAISER RECEIVES
DOCTORS DEGREE
Ruler Gets High Honor from
Berlin University.

Berlin. Oct. 29.-The comforting on the
Kaiser OF an honorary doctors degree by
Berlin University reminds a writer In a
German paper that the title has fallen
from its high estate in early times. In
the universities OF the twelfth century
at Bologna. Paris, and Orleans, which
were the forerunners OF the German uni
versities. the doctor. whether of law,
science. or theology, had rank. consider
alton, and privileges which are TAR from
being conceded TO him now.
In the Middle Ages he was on a footing
with the knight and took precedence OF
the local aristOcracy, though lacking the
title of nobility. He always wore his
hood and gown and was addressed as
maxine reveTendus, nOhilissimus, ex-
perientissimus, and so on. He paid no
taxes, could not be troubled by the quar-
teTmaster, and had the privilege OF hav-
ing his testimony taken in his own house.
During the examination for his degree
he was treated with wine and food and
after the degree was conferred the event
was celebrated by a long drawn-out ban
quet Gradually the nimbus around the
doctors head faded, and at the time OF
the Reformation Luther, himself a doc
tor. complains of the change that had
taken Place. To-day the doctor OF law,
science. or theology has less consider
alton than a colonel or judge.
