oLD.FASHIoNED GIRLS GOOD
Those Who Find Their Way Into Ju'
Vonlle Court Are Dressed In
Latest style. I

Mrs. Virginia Murray, matron OF the
Juvenile Detention Home in Colum-
bus, is authority for the statement
that the old-fashioned girl doesn't find
her way into the juvenile court She
says that girls with the gingham
frock and hair tied with ribbons never
appear before the juvenile Judge, but
that nearly all of the girls appearing
before him are dressed In the latest
style.
A majority Of the girls appearing
In the juvenile court are .devotees OF
Dame Fashion. 1T 10 no uncommon
thing to see little girl of twelve or
fourteen dressed like a woman Of ma
turO years, In hobble skirt and decol'
lete gown" says Mrs. Murray, and
she adds, that I'VE have an awful
time in trying to get the girls to dis
card rats and 'puffs.'
Then this good woman who sees so
much Of waywardness, who comes into
direct contact with so many youthful
Incorrigibles, gives this splendid ad'
vice to mothers:
IT advise mothers to pay more at
tention to their daughters wardrobeS.
Picture hats, high-heeled shoes, open
work stockings and very low cut
dresses are articles to be tabooed.

FEARS
THE SAND FLY.
State Board Of Health Seeks InfCrma-
ton About Insect.
RECOGNIZED CAUSE OF PELLAGRA
EntomologIsts Making Thorough
Search Of state-SeveraI Cases
Of PeIlagra Believed TO Be
Caused by Files

topeka, Aug. 26.-The next crusade
that may be started in Kansas Will
be the swatting Of the sand fly, sup
posed to be the cause of pellagra.
Some time ago DR.. 8. ]. Crumbine,
secretary Of the Kansas state board
of health, had 8. J. Hunter, state ento-
mologist, start ON . hunt in Kansas
for sand flies. It Is understood here
that he has found two, but where Is
not known. Now report comes from
Ottawa that in swamps near there
larvae were found, which were for
warded to Mr.. Hunter. He incubated
them and is reported to have found
them true sand flies.
Secretary Crumbine Of the state
hoard of health is not in Topeka and
NO report from him on the matter
could be obtained. It Is known that
q thorough search 10 being made for
the insects. Four expert entomolo-
gists mounted on motorcycles are
making an exhaustive hunt through
out the state.
A few cases Of pellagra in Kansas
have been reported to the state board
of health and DR.. Crumbine has pro-
nounced some of them true pellagra.
He set about at once to discover the
cause. Scientists are now generally
agreed that the sand fly Is the dis
tributor of the disease.
Prof. B. B. Smythe, curator OF the
Goss pathological collection, was
asked to tell what sand fly looks
like.
"I'm not quite sure that l know,
he replied, as he delved into books.
II find here that black flies are men
toned and l think that Is the sand
fly. If it is have found them in
Kansas myself"
He later found q book written by
DR.. L. o. Howard, chief Of the bureau
Of entomology of the United States
department of agriculture, in which
DR.. Howard speaks Of them as black
flies, sand flies or buffalo gnats and
describes them as small black biting
insects, common in the north woods
and in the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys. They are blood-thirsty like
the mosquitoes and attack not only
human beings, but poultry and do
nestle animals. He says they are
found in the largest numbers on logs
or rocks in streams, where the log OF
rock causes a ripple.
1t is reported tnat one Of the sand
flies which DR.. Hunter found was
taken from the ear Of horse.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
CALAIS, July s. 1911.
Capt. Koepenick of the air duped
the people of Calais the other day. A
young man in leather overalls present
ed himself to the military authorities
and introduced himself as the airnan
Legagneux. He wished. he said, to in
spect the ground from which the aero
planes were to start for the race to
London. He explained that he had left
his aeroplane at Tourcoing. and that he
intended to go for it in a motor car and
return through the air to Calais at
night. Troops were ordered out to ring
the ground.
A number Of officials and air enthusi-
asts gave the supposed Legagneux a
luncheon. During the luncheon he men
toned that he had lost his pocketbook
as he was grounding at Tourcoing, and
he borrowed considerable sum of
money from everybody at table. Then
he went back to inspect the grounds,
and has not been seen since.
A huge crowd waited to see "Legag-
neux" fly into Calais, and 1t was not
until a telegram was received from the
real Legagneux that the people of Calais
many of whom had been up all night
realized that they had been dupsd.

From the New York POST
A German professor has written a book
entitled Great Men Its origin was in
the inquiry of Japanese student, who
asked him how he knew which OF his pu
nils were going to do him credit. Said the
INGENIOUS oriental: 1T is q most practical
question. for our government and many
others are spending large sums in help
ing lads to get a thoroughly good educa-
tion. II is q sort Of state investment, for
IL is expected that those who are given
such advantages shall be useful to their
country. and the state would like to be
when 1t educates youth free of charge.
The seed fell on good ground. The pro-
lessor pondered, and the result is his
book. His conclusion Is that those OF his
Scientific world were those who were diff
cult to induce to follow definite courses OF
instruction Sir William Ramsay agrees
with him. but adds a point. "a charac-
teristic Of men OF genius" he thinks.
an early age. appears to be that they are
extreme In their temperaments." Most
of US. that Is to say. are neither very
sanguine nor very phlegmatic. but men OF
genius are excessively one or the other.
1t will be at once urged against this
that many students who are disinclined
to follow definite courses OF instruction
do not turn out to be geniuses. and that
every one who has acuaintances who.
without any pretensions to being talented.
are undeniably extreme In their tempera-
ments. Doubtless the learned investigators
would reply that such persons merely IL
lustrate the defects In our present sys-
TENS Of education. which fail to give indi-
viduals who are endowed with the infalli-
Bile signs Of genius the training necessary

CONTROLLER BAY NO HARBOR.
Counsel for Alaska Syndicate SCOTS
at "Dick-to-Dick" Letter.

SALEM, Ore, July 17.-According to
John A. Carson, special counsel for the
Alaska syndicate and author of the let
ter to Capt. d. H. Jarvis regarding the
Morrisey account which was included in
the charges made by Delegate Wicker
sham against Attorney General Wicker
sham, the alleged "Dick-to-Dick' letter
which Miss Abbott asserts she discovered
In the Interior Department records. is
'rankest nonsense"
1.-THE letter is a farce" said Mr.. Car
son last night. because the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate has no reason to
wish to secure harbor at Controller bay.
There is no suitable harbor there Con-
troller bay. or Natalla bay. is a road
stead rather than a harbor."
Carson says that a vessel cannot enter
it even in July, and that, without doubt.
it is the worst place in the world to To-
cate harbor. especially such harbor as
would be necessary for a railroad ter
minal.
Il do not deny" Carson continued.
that the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS syndicate
attempted to build a road from Controller
bay. The coal fields are near that bay.
and further back are copper mines owned
by the Guggenheims."
Carson said that engineers were sent to
Alaska to determine a route for rail
road, and against his advice to start 1t
from Controller bay. More than $3.50.
600 was spent, he said, before the project
was abandoned.
THE syndicate later" Carson continued.
bought out rights Of way belonging to
Michael ]. Heney, which ran inland from
Cordeva, where there is a good harbor.
The road is now constructed into the
Bonanza copper mines and that Is the
only road the syndicate wants.

So said Sir James Pliney Whitney, prime

Sir James expressed great admiration

President himself had furnished three
reasons for rejecting the agreement.
These, he said. are:
THAT Canada has now come to the
parting of the ways: that she must
either seek to bind herself more closely
to the mother country, Or here Sir
James smiled and declined to finish the
sentence. Secondly. the United States
would never get another opportunity to
negative the effort to knit more closely
the relations OF Canada and England !:
and thirdly. the American farmer would
sell more produce with reciprocity than
