Middle-class Boys the Best.

"What kind Of children are the
best stndents-children Of the
rich. the poor or the middle
class"
"The Bible says. 1t is the spirit
that mtirkencth. If the son Of a
rich man believes he has all that
he wants. that the purpose Of life
is 10 obtain houses, lands, bonds
and stocks, he will not make d
good student. If his parents show
him that property is not life. that
service is Of far more Importance

Or in science. or in literature, or in

which he does not possess. Studi-

right there-the want Of things.
THE desires and Deficiencies OF
poverty are many and visible. A
digger Of bitches is ambitious that
his son be something else. When
thc son thinks as his father, there
is hope for the boy. 1t is possible
for him to become a great man.
"The middle-class boy is be
tween riches and poverty. His po
sition is the best Of all, provided
he has the spirit. And his record
proves it. The country today il
ruled. in business, politics and thu
professions, by men who, as boys
were neither dangerously rich nol
slistressingly poor.

AVIATION IN NAVY

Washington, March 21-The Navy will be obliged to discover new aviation expert when Capt. Washing ton I. Chambers takes command of the battleship Louisiana, to which he has been assigned, late this spring.
 For more than a year, aviation pro- gress in the navy has been under the direction of Capt. Chambers. In his position as assistant to the Aide for Material. Capt. Chambers has been constantly in Washington and since his assignment to cooperate with the United States Aeronautical Reserve has been recognized as the authorized director of naval experiments in avia- tion. When he takes command of the Louisiana, however, he will be oblig- ed to go to sea, and will be unable to keep in touch with the aviation operations in the naval service.
 Capt. Chambers is an enthusiast on aviation, though he preserves a sane and conservative view of it's possibil- ities. He has directed the tests of flights from ships, and recently wrote a scientific sketch of the paths which aeronautical development in the navy would probably follow.
 Lieutenant Richard Wainwright now stationed at the Washington Navy Yard, will probably be chosen to sue ceed Capt. Chambers in the unofficial pest of aviation expert. Lieutenant Wainwright has been associated with Capt Chambers in planning and exc cutting aviation tests in the navy. It is hoped by these two officers that the day of the aviation division is not far distant.

ENGLAND WILL ACQUIESCE Iii This Country Should Absorb Lower California and Other Border
 SfafPS

Washington, March 21-That Great Britain would welcome the acquisition by the United States of Lower Cali fcrnia and the strip of States along fine northern border of Mexico is the view which has been unofficially made known to the Washington govern n1ent
 This intimation upon the part of the English government was made upon the return of a confidential agent of Gs~ ~a. Britain from a trip into Mex leo. With a view to the safeguard ing of English commercial interests in Mexico. he visited the entire country and sounded the attitude of the people toward the Diaz government. He re- turned to England recently, by way of Washington, to present his report.
 This report will declare it is under stood. that the country is honey comb ed with anti-Diaz activities. and the people universally discontented. They would welcome any change which would relieve labor conditions
 The English believe it is stated, that their investments in Mexico would be better safeguarded under American Influence than if left to the uncer- tainties of a people lacking iE patrio- fism. or faith in their government. for these reasons, Washington has boe1e aDurld. it b declareds that Great

 ON [. A. MOORE

Jr., two of them by the Savoy Trust Company of New York on notes given or indorsed by MT.

Moore.
 This property was purchased by MT. Moore about two years ago from MT. Woolley for about $S0,00O, a mortgage of $35,O0O being left with Mrs. Woolley. MT. Moore is still in Italy, where his family went about two weeks before the Carnegie Trust Company closed it's doors. They join ed MT. and Mrs. Charles A.

MRS. SHELDON DIES
One of First Women in the Country Interested in Equal Suffrage.

New Haven, March 21.-Abby Bar ker Sheldon, wife of ex-Judge Joseph Sheldon, died yesterday at her late home, 364 Mansfield street, of gen. eral breaking down of the system. Mrs. Sheldon was born in Syracuse, N. Y., in 1883. She was one of the first women in the United States in terested in the cause of womans S rights, and attended the first conven- tion of equal suffragists in this coun- try at Syracuse in 1858. Later. after her removal to New Haven, she was the founder of the first suffrage or ganization in this city. In connec- ton with her work in the cause she became an ardent friend of Lucy Stone Blackwell.
 At a time when woman's endeay- ors in the agricultural line were al- most unknown, Mrs. Sheldon man. aged the first fruit farm in the coun- try, an enterprise which elicited the admiration and approval of Horace Greeley.
 Mrs. Sheldon is survived by her husband, Judge Sheldon, and two daughters, Mrs. Frances Sheldon Bol- ton and Mrs. Eliza beth Sheldon Til- linghast, of Arcadia, R. I. The lat ter stumped the country for William Jennings Bryan when he first ran for President.

CHINESE HAIR
Not Gut from the Dead, Says Consul
 General at Hong Kong

Washington. March 2-Sensationa1 stories circulated in this country about the origin of human hair import ed from China have reached Consul General George B. Anderson at Hong kong, and his report on the subject has been made public.
 According to Anderson, shipments of human hair from Hongkong to the United States increased in value from s41. .sS0 in 1907 to s695,137 gold in 1910. were valued at s1, 100000.
 Much of the hair that formerly went out raw" is now Finished, he reports, and is sent to Paris, whence if is exported to the United States as French hair.
 .aThe origin of the hair shipped from Hongkong," says Anderson. ''and indeed from all China so far as in formation can be secured from the best sources here, is vastly different from that indicated by many stories pub lished broadcast the world oyer. The report that much of the hair ship ped was taken from the dead is not only untrue of the Chinese trade but ia inconsistent with Chinese views of the dead and with Chinese thought. The hair shipped abroad from this Empire Is combings from well-to-do maid in dressing her mistress hair simply saves and sells to barber the comblngs that were formerly thrown away. Barbers also obtain considerable hair from plying their trade. The vast mass of hair ship ped abroad and invoiced for the Uni ted States Is in the shape of little wads Or twistings. Seldom if ever are full heads of hair to be taken nor are queus used. It Is one of the strange facts of the trade that although thousands of Queus have been cut in Hongkong in the past several months some 15.ooo is the report-the hair has not been sold.
 "A local hair establishment operat- ed by an American expert is working hair into the most modern shape for the export trade. The hair is first combed into lengths. It is then wash ed in soda, soft soap. and ammonia, is dried, and then boiled for one day in plain water. It is again dried, and then treated to four or five chemi- calls. according to it's condition. to sterilize preserve and render it fit for use. It Is then bleached, washed again. and prepared in different colors and packed
