have RETURNED HOME

Cities and Take Train.

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Knudson Of La
Crosse, Wis, who have been attending
the big conference of the United Nor

left for their homes this morning.
Many years ago Mr.. Knudson was a
citizen of Fargo and Moorhead and was
a carpenter by occupation. He has a
large number of relatives still residing
in the two cities and had very pleasant
visits with them. He is now OF the
big contractors Of La Crosse, and re-

nearly $4,000.
Il find Fargo, yes, and Moorhead,
too, greatly changed for the better
said he. Il would hardly know the
place from my last visit here, and ]
Fargo of my first visit. Everywhere
there is the sign Of Improvement and
you have q city here that any state
could be proud of.
II want to say that the manrier In
which Fargo took a r. OF the confer
nee and looked after the welfare OF
the delegates would reflect credit on 3
town three times as large. In fact, the
conference was better handled, so the
delegates all say, than ever before, and
we are all pleased. Mrs. Knudson and
myself had a most delightful time dur
ing our visit here and will long remem
Der 1t. We hope to pay this section a
visit again nex year, for we didn't get
more than half way around among III

A small percentage OF men and worn-
en- haye no fondness for dogs. still
q smaller percentage Of men ave no
hesitancy IN plotting the death Of a dog
lon what they consider general
principles"
There would seem to be need Of q
more thorough comprehension OF the
rights Of dogs-and Of the people who
own dogs. 1t is quite plain that Ffdo
and Spot are far too often the victims
Of prejudice and ignorance. or Of nat
uraI "~cussedness." Not only must a
license fee be paid, but frequently dogs
on the street must be muzzled when
they are not led. Beyond all this there
is the daily story of valuable dogs
having been poisoned.
When the city accepts a license fee
from the owner Of q dog-it may be
presumed tina both the dog and the
owner are entitled to some OF
RAStSSLous "A Lew ShupiS EutSS ooS@a@
to suffice to prevent any confusion or
misunderstanding. Dangerous dogs
should not be at liberty under my cir
cumstances. Dogs that develop mo-
mentary periods of ugliness should be
kept confined, or sent to the country.
But there remains a large class of
dogs-a good SO per cent Of the total
number that are we'll behaved and do
cile, and good-natured. They may be
somewhat Objectionable to those who
are ~ot og-fanciers-on the ground
that they take up room on the side
walks, or bark al night. But so long
as the city countenances the presence
Of dogs by accepting license fees from
their owners-there must be some
more genuine objection to the animal
in question than those enumerated.
The public hears a great deal shout
the need Of protection for the children
from dogs. Very surely the children
should be afforded the most watchful
protection. But is it not pertinent to
suggest that something should also be
said about the right of the dog and the
owner of the dog? Should not dogs
have protection from ugly-tempered,
u~nreasoning and prejudiced individuals
who believe that no sort of treat
ment is too severe for a gentle beast
whose record, in the main, is that OF
the companion Of c~hildren-and the
faithful friend Of men?

THE cHILD's uTU E.

One child out of every seven in the
United States between the ages of 10
and II is not in school.
In other words, every seventh child
is not having an opportunity to become
a useful citizen.
Out Of that neglected one-seventh OF
the nations youth-the penitentiaries
and jails and aImshouses and asyiurns
will recruit most of their inmates.
Can any nation-which wastes such
a large percentage of Its most valuable
asset-lay claim to eficiency of gov
eminent?
Can a society which permits it's
children to grow up in ignorance lay
claim to civilization? .
The conservation Of human life, of
human effort, Of human energy, OF hui
man ability-should claim the attention
of every right-minded, thinking man
and woman.
Neglected children mean wrecked
lives, the waste of latent powers and a
burden to efficient individuals.
Economically it is a bad proposition
to allow children to grow up in igno-
rance, Laying aside all humane con-
siderations-the community which pro-
duces illiterate citizens is making a
fatal blunder. The taxpayer-who
thinks only in terms of dollars-should
be as deeply interested as the social
worker in lighting illiteracy.

GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
TO pARKEN THE HAIR AND RE-
STORE GRAY AND FADED HAIR
TO IT'S NATURAL COLOR.

1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although 1t
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a sage tea. and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are
beginning to appreciate the wisdom of
our grandmothers In using sage tea
for their hair and are fast Following
suit.
The present generation has the adj
vantage of the past in that it can get
a ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. AS a scalp tonic and color restor-
er this preparation Is vastly superior
to the ordinary Sage tea, made by
our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty OF the hair
depends on a healthy condition OF the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff
germs which rob the hair of its life,
color and lustre, makes the scalp clean
and healthy. gives the hair strength,
color and beauty, and makes it grow.

ING CERTIFICATES.

One day last week a mar Who had
evidently passed the half century mark
some eight or ten years ago, walked
YEARLY into this Office.
He hesitated a moment, glanced
around to make sure that he was in
the right place. and then timidiy asked
TO see the Bible which The Forum is
presenting to its readers.
After turning over a few pages his
face frightened and he asked if he
might sit down a while and look 1t
over.
Nothing more was heard of him for
an hour, when he reappeared at the
desk fairly heaming.
Wen, WE'LL he said owho would
have thought that the great book OF
books could be Illustrated. Why, ]
haven't looked in a Bible before for
nearly fifty years and these pictures
recall the days when my older sister
took me by the hand and led me to
Sunday school"
He drew a deep breath, but it seem
ed to be q sigh of relief.
Yes" he continued, Il had pictures
In my mind then; the pictures OF
childhood's imagination, and these IL
lustrations seem to portray the growth
and development Of those child
dreams"
Gently he fondIed the limp leather
volume before him.
II want this Bible he said, as he
presented six worn certificates, Tive

to be ashamed to admit that I really

SW|NDLED OUT Of $3.50
Police Believe Mrs. Ida |. VIII
Iiams Is Second Victim of
Confidence Men.

Ida l.. Williams, colored, residing at
2121 Florida avenue northwest. told the
police last night of parting with $3.50 to
an unidentified negro at 18th and H
streets northwest, yesterday about noon.
The man, she said, told a story of having
found a pocketbook containing a large
sum of money, and her dealings with him,
she says, ended in the man getting her
money. A second man, she stated, ap-
peared and told her he had been robbed
OF 500 by the man with whom she had
been talking.
The police think the second man was
g. companion Of the one who actually got
the money. Mrs. Williams was on her
way to bank when she was swtndled.
She identified two pictures in the gallery
at police headquarters as likenesses OF
the two men she met yesterday
Believed to Be Same Men.
1t is thought by the police that the
men are the individuals who last Sat
urday obtained SIT from Josephine
Mitchell at 18th and F streets under false
pretenses.
Josephine, who resides at 432 l. street

EFFORT TO CLEAR TITLE

The Attorney General today filed in
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia, through the Office Of the
United States attorney for the District of
Columbia, the first of the suits to be
brought under the act approved April q,
1912, providing for the protection of the
interests of the United States in lands
on the Potomac river, Eastern branch
and Rock creek.
The suit is in the form Of bill in
equity, as required by the law, and
affects land along the Anacostia river
between the navy yard wall and the
Pennsylvania Avenue bridge. There
are the unusual number of 298 de-
PENDANTS specifically named in the bill,
besides a large number OF unknown
defendants, it being the purpose to
bring before the court all the dormant
claims affecting this portion of the
shore of the Anacostia river within the
original city OF Washington.
In this class are the claims OF the
Young heirs and the Walker heirs. The
descendants Of William Young, sr.
and Of George Walker are now very
numerous and reside. in many portions OF
the United States as well as in Great
Britain and Australia. The Walker heirs
are chiefly located in England, but there
are several persons interested in the
Walker claims in the United States. and
others in Australia and other British pos
sessions While many of the Young
heirs are resident in the District Of
Columbia and in adjacent parts of Vir-
ginia and Maryland, the most of these
heirs are scattered from Arkansas to
Ohio.
The tenor of the bill follows the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the United
ing the ownership by the United States
Of Water street bounding the city OF
Washington and of the appurtenant
rights on the river side of the street.
Denial is made that the United States
has ever conveyed any rights in or adj
jacent to Water street on the river side,
and the United States prays that its title
may be quoted by the court and declared
to be absolute and paramount.
The choice of the locality for the first
Of the series Of suits to be brought was
directed by the fact that two consider
able public improvements have been au-
thorized in this locality. which are OBJ
structed by claims of title adverse to the
United States. The construction of the
branch track to the navy yard has been
INSTRUCTED by adverse claims of title
| made by private persons. and the pro-
posed improvement OF the Anacostia
river at this point, which Is soon to be
undertaken, cannot be successfully car
ried on while the title of the United
States to the land involved is clouded by
adverse claims.
Owing to the immediate necessity for the
public use of the. land, efforts will be
made to bring the case to a hearing in
| the near future.
Stuart Mcnamara. special assistant tc
| the Attorney General, will have charge
| Of the proceedings under the direction OF
Attorney General Wickersham.
