Maternity hospital records in Boston
show that while boy babies born there
maintain the average height and
weight, girl babies are becoming taller
at birth and increasing in vitality. The
statistics do violence TO certain ac-
cepted notions OF race degeneration
due to women's alleged neglect of the
home for outside interests. whether
serious or frivolous. They have been
charged with abandoning their sacred
mission" for public life or for pleasure
and OF menacing the country's future
by their devotion to activities antag-
onistic tolaaternity. Yet neither their
addiction to bridge parties and hobble
skirts nor their pursuit Of careers,
nor yet whether they smoke cigarettes
and occupy themselves with club al
fairs. appears to have made any DIFF
ference. They have gone on their way
regardless, in spite Of reproof and ad.
monition, and point TO their healthier
and heartier children in proof of their
better understanding OF what Is good
for them. The fact will afford small
comfort to the reformers who have
made womans derelction Of domesic
duties their grave concern. But the in
creasing size and vitality OF girl ba-
bies may well excite masculine fore.

Streets Shooting and PllIagins.
Peking-A mutiny Of Yuan Shi-kai's
soldiers started in Peking causing a
reign of terror. Many of the natives
were killed or wounded, but all for

MOVE TG INVESTIGATE
GREAT TEXTILE STRIKE
Show Congressional Committee Chit
dren Injured in MIltS-Cav-
airy Disperse Crowds.

Lawrence Mass.-Three events of
importance marked the recent pro-
gross OF the textile workers strike.
First Mayor Scanlon made a re.
quest. which virtually amounts to a
demand. upon the mill owners to end
the strike, and pointed out the way
by which he thought it could be done.
Second, arrangements were COM
pleted for the sending OF a party of
textile workers to Washington to APP
pear before Congressional commit
tee, as suggested by Representative
Berger of Milwaukee.
Third, the Federal investigation into
the acts Of the local authorities and
the military in preventing the sending
Of strikers children to Philadelphia,
in possible violation Of the Interstate
Commerce law, began and it was an
nounced another Federal Investigation
into wage and living conditions would
be under way soon.
An inciI mt was the activity of
mounted troops in breaking up a gath.
ering of women strikers, in which no.
body was hurt.
The Mayor took a hand in the bat
tie between capital and labor by go.
ing to Boston TO consult William NJ.
Wood, President of the American
Woolen Company, and the treasurers
of the other mills at Lawrence TO re.
quest them to end the strike.
More than fifty men, women and
children comprised the party for
Washington. OF this number more
than half were children, the plan be-
ing to send two from each of the eigh-
teen nationaliues represented on the
strike committee. The children select
ed. all Of whom are over fourteen
years of age, are themselves mill
workers on strike. In some instances
they bear scars from injuries sustain
ed while ct work. Among the number
is a girl who had her scalp torn off
by machine. 1t is charged that
the mill owners recompensed them in
no way.

tire freight train, in which there were
thirty cars of woolen goods, consigned
to the American Woolen Company, the
corporation against which the strikers
are most bitter.
Through each stick of dynamite had
been run a piece Of wire. evidently
with the design that as soon as the
wheel wore away the paper the steel
trimmed wheel would strike the wire,
causing n spark. that would cause an
explosion.
BY miscalculation the person who
placed the dynamite failed to tie the
sticks close enough to the wheel.

out merit or utility. and. instead OF

also says that my proposal (Which as
nc rightly sees, Is merely a proposal TO

a nominal chance TO construe and
