- X-RAY IN SCHOOLS. Advocated As Best Way of Grading Y of Mental and Physical Con-
 ditfons-NIid-Wives Defended

Washington, Sept. 27-x-ray reg istration of the growth of school ehis- dren was a unique reform advocated today before the International Con- gress of Hygiene and Demography by Prof. Thomas N. Rotch, of Boston. To bet the best results in the grad ing of mental and physical conditions Of the individual. we should study 5nsm 6 Phgsiologically, d1gtaE said the Harf +hil dren may now be determined au- Tornatically- The bony structure oH 4he body progresses with comparative regularity. the development of the wrists being fair test of the entire Framework. We should take X-ray pfctures of the wrists of children to for school and labor Efforts of pa Tents to put their immature children at work is pernicious. and falsifcation pE their age may be determined scien- fsdcally.''
 5 sMid-wives were defended by Clara Ds Moves. Superintendent of Bellevue Hospital Training Schools at New York.
 r -tIn America, with characteristic dlsregard of our natural resources we have not protected and conserved our child Iife," said Miss Moves. "We have not recognized the midwife as necessary part of our social structure. Attempts have been made to eIinin- ate her, but always unsuccessfully. We have closed our eyes to her and let her alone, without education and without adequate laws for control and supervision Intelligent motherhood Is the panacea for the slaughter of the innocent. Fifty per cent. Of all births are attended by a class of un- trained and untaught mid-wives, who, as a rule. are densely ignorant and unspeakabIy dirty.
 We are thus neglecting the very fountain head Of the health and possible wealth of our nation. The midwife, for whom no opportunity Tor education has been provided can not bo expected to teach the Tnothers hat which she herself has never beer taught"
 "One-half of all children die from diseases of the digestive tract tuber- euIosis. pneumonia aEd other conta- Eious diseases said Dr. s. w. New mayer, of Philadelphia. Less than pne-half of maternity cases are at tended by physicians Visiting nur- zes are what we need, to teach moth PTS proper care of their children

Vacancies and HoIdsO Officials.
 The attorney general. in compliance with a request from the Secretary Of the State, has given an opinion on the right of an incumbent to hold office in the event of Q. deadlock occurring igf the election for that office. This happened at the last town election in Morris, in the office of town assessor. The opinion follows:
 'tAt the last town election MT. Elm mons ran for the office of assessor to succeed himself, and MT. Humphrey ran against him. Each received the same number of votes, so a tie result ed The moderator of the meeting ruled that Mir ElnaHnons held over, i'm asmuch as his successor had not been elected, and he has continued to do so. Chapter 173 of the Public Acts of hold office from the date Of his cleo ton and until his successor is duly elected and qualified and, in case of a. vacancy, 1t is made the dauty of the town to elect some person for the u1- expired term at the next annual meet ing. Now, is there such 8 vacancy in the office in question that the town may fill it at it's next annual Ineehngf I am of the opinion that there is a constructive vacancy, because the in cumbent has no legal right to continue in the cffice, but may be replaced by the election and qualification of a successor. By holding over an off, cer does not acquire the right to hold successor is duly elected and qalalified.' Of course, if the town does not see &tt to elect some one to succeed him, he may hold for the full terEn.''
 Has Little Foundation.
 The result today of the rumors of an insane woman resembling the miss ing Margaret .Considine Of Winsted being seen in the vicinity of Bakers vile, was that a committee of citizens was appointed to investigate the re- ports. The committee learned that two boys, George Pond and Clarence Pond, and Mrs. Georgia Roice, all say they have seen the wild woman within the last three weeks. A third boy, Harold Pond, says he saw her a year ago. All of the stories dif- fered in many respects and but little credit is given to them Charles Mo Kee, who, according ito the report cir cu1ated, had seen the strange woman, told the committee that he had never heard of the matter until approached by them. The same answer was given by Fred Ramstein and by his hired man. both of whom were reported as having seen the woman. The com rnittee decided that, until there was more certain evidence to work upon, the case would be dropped and tho project of searching the Bakersvil1e xUaods has been abandoned.

WINSTON CHURCHlLL'S PLANS

POLICE FORCE is INADEQUATE
ChurchilI's Determination Not to
Change His Plans With Regard to
Speaking at Belfast on Feb. g.
Causes Apprehension in England.

London, Jan. 25.-The determine.
ton of Winston Spencer Churchill
first lord of the admiralty, not to
change his decision to hold a meeting
in favor of home rule, at which he
and John +. Redmond, leader of the
Irish nationaliSts, are to speak at Bel
fast on Feb. 8, has caused the deepest
apprehension among moderate union.
lists regarding the consequences of the
Ulstermen's decision to prevent it at
all costs.
The English uniOnist press is urg.
ing Mr.. Churchill to cancel his visit,
pointing out that a fight between the
two parties on the day OF the demon.
stration in Belfast will not put an
end to the trouble.
Fears are expressed in some quar-.
ters that hostilities will be carried on
for weeks and perhapa months, not
only in Belfast, but throughout Ulster.
The prospects of a fight are prompt
ing many adherents of the national
lists as well as of the unionist cause
to visit Belfast and should riots oc-
cur there the police will be utterly
inadequate to cope with them.
Too Much Even for Troops.
Even the troops who have ben or
dered to the city will find it difficult
to restore order.
The meeting originally was arranged
by the master of Elibank, Alexander
w. c. o. Murray, liberal member of
parliament for Middletheran, Scot
land and parliamentary secretary to
the treasury. With him alone will
rest any change of the program. He
justities the calling of the meeting in
Belfast on the ground that Winston
Churchill intends to outline the home
rule proposals for Ireland, which the
government intends to introduce into
parliament Ireland he considers is
the proper place for that to be done.
1t is just possible that the home
| rule meeting may eventually be held
in Queenshall, which is situated in
the nationalist district of Belfast.
Even then, however. the unionists
may invade that quarter in order to
endeavor to prevent the demonstra.
ton.

HOW PACKER JUCCLE BOOKS
Make No Allowance for Hides, Yet
Clean Up Millions on Them.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Although no al
lowances We're made for hides in 1909
and during a part of 1910 in figuring
the test cost of beef, the books of the
National Packing company show that
in that period the corporation from
side sales had $3,66S, ,O50.67 The sales
by months were given by William f.
Weber general auditor of the Nation
al Packing company, who began his
fourth day on the witness stand in
the packers trial today.
The government contends that by
not allowing credits on hides in this
period the packers materially increas-
ed their test cost on beef and We're
enabled to raise the price to consum-
ers without showing an excessive prof
it on their books. Weber admitted
that the value of hides during this
period varied from to cents

neers' Demands.

New York, Jan. 25.-Locomotive en-.
gineers on all roads in the eastern ter
ritory have made demands for gen.
eral increase in wages, ranging from
10 to 25 per cent. The demands in
volve all roads east of Chicago and
north of the line of the Norfolk &
Western railway and of the Ohio
river.
The object is to standardize the
wage scale on all lines in this terri
tory as was done by the trainmen and
conductors in 1910.
The general managers association
has been asked to appoint commit
tee to negotiate with the engineers.
Railroad men who have discussed the
demands of the engineers believe the
time is inopportune and are inclined
to think that railroads will not grant
the demands.
