economic questions. has rderei search
ing government inquiry into the causes OF
the cont nual rise in the price OF iood-
sfuffs. The dearness of food has now be-
come such as to create public peril.
SAYS the minister in circular addressed
to the Italian director general or The STA
tistical department of the state.
AS the true causes are still imIerfecty

WINGED that sooner or later each nation
will be constrained to conduct on it's own
account q profound and systematic inves-
tigation. He calls upon Italy to lead the
way by an exhaustive collection of data
relative to the home movement n whole
sale and retail prices, the fluctuations on
the exchange and the recent history OF

COMETHING less than ten years ago
~ two young artists came to Washing
ton from northern New Cork state. one
found employment at the National Mu-
scum, the other at the Zoo, both in
scientific capacities which permitted them
20 continue their drawing at odd times.
Their first exhibition was held Informally
in Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Andrews studio,
and the first notice of their work appear
ed at the same time in The Star. They
were Charles Livingston Bull and Walter
King Stone, both of whom are now num-
bered among the foremost American Illus
traitors Mr.. Bull has made a speciality
of. animals. Mr.. Stone of landscapes. Both
now reside in New York. Quite a number
of Mr.. Stones drawings appear as illustra-

DEFENDER OF BLONDS.
Fair French Woman Takes
Issue With Scientist.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. December "A fair-haired
woman correspondent Of the Eclairepr de
Nice has made an energetic protest
against the dictum recently laid down by
a French savant on the intellectual and
physical superiority Of brunettes. The
scientist in question asserts that two gen.
erations hence fair women will be ex-
tinct and that the blond woman is a de-
generate type.
Dark women he adds. are usually more
robust and stronger physically and intel
lectually than their fair sisters. The
correspondent challenges these statements
and says that a true French blond is
gem. The letter is signed "A fair wom-
an who rides horses climbs trees and re-
ceives doctors only at her dinner table.

reconciled to the tale after passing the
first quarter of the book, written with
uniform sentence construction Of irksOme

self in the bad habit Of using frequent
French phrases differing only in orthog-
raphy and pronunciation from English
words which were better used in their
stead. Although family conditions, the
snobbishness of the moneyed English
gentlewoman and gentleman and the
pristine simplicity and vulgarity OF new
and undeveloped country are played
against one another In a crudely candid
style, the story. like most love tales. is
not without sufficient interest to prove
readable.
