MARBLES CAUSE BOYS To
BE BACKWARD IN school

Cambridge, Mass Fishing sinkers
and tops. marbles. tenpenny nails and
pieces of automobile skid chains and
all other heavy junk carried in the av-
erage boys pocket partially cause
him to be backward in his studies.
If this load Is removed from his
pockets the weight of stupidity will
probably be fallen off his mind, at
least this is one of the theories of DR..
Joel z. Goldthwaite. professor Of or
thopedic surgery at the harvard Med
ical school.
THE burden Of the pocket load the
boy carries around with him is often
made worse by the way the boy
stands" he states, "the more valu-
able the marbles and similar Juvenile
wealth, the more likely IL the boy to
keep his hands thrust into his pockets
to make sure his treasure is safe. The
posture. the weight Of clothing and all
the rest combine to affect the physi-
cal well-being OF the child"
From the bodily condition the men,
tai condition becomes inspired, in the
opinion of DR.. Goldthwaite. Hence
arises the "backwardness' In school

London. - A statement left by
Lord Cardigan. who led the famous
charge of the Light Brigade at Bala-
klava in the Crimean war, October
rs. 1854. now published for the first
time. throws the responsibility for the
heroic blunder on Lord Lucan, who
commanded the cavalry division.
Hitherto 1t has been believed that
Iucan's aide-de-camp, Captain No
Ian, gave the erroneous order.
Cardigan describes how Lucan or
dered him to attack the Russians in
the battery" Cardigan replied:
Certainly, Ny Lord. but allow me
TO point out that there is a battery
in front. a battery on each flank and
the ground is covered with Russian
riflemen."
Lucan answered: "I cannot help
that II Is Lord Raglan's positive or
der that the Light Brigade is to at
tack the enemy"
Cardigan continues: After ad-
vancing about eighty yards a shell
fell within reach OF my horses feet

across the front, returned with his

GEORGE GRAHAM RICE
REAL 'WALl|NGf0RD'

New York, March 16.-George Ran
dolph Chester, the creator of oval
lingford," never imagined anything
as spectacular as the career of
George Graham Rice, who is now
serving a sentence in Jail following
his conviction on the charge of US
ing the mails to defraud in the sale
of stocks.
Prior to his connection with the
brokerage firm of B. H. Schoftels &
Company, which led to his arrest, trial
and Imprisonment, Rice had made
and spent several fortunes.
His first 'pile" was amassed
through the sale of tips" on the
races. During the palmy days of the
sports of kings" in New York and
New Orleans. Rice's income from this
source was tremendous, and he made
and spent hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. At Garfield he cut a wide
swath. and many and ingenious were
his schemes for the disposal Of stocks
in the companies in which he was in
terested.
Now he admits that he has spent
his last dollar and is flat broke He
will be released from Jail in about
six months.

Evidently Nolan. seeing that ter
rible blunder had been made, rode
across the front of the brigade en-
deavoring with his sword to direct it
to make the flank movement Raglan
intended instead of the insane frontal
attack which Lucan ordered. Nolan
was instantly killed, but his stiffened
muscles kept him astride his horse
and he rode, dead man, through the
ranks with his sword uplifted.
This is the first time it was ever
mentioned that he was Screaming

QUEUE CUTTING DOES
NOT INCREASE SWITCHES
Cinnamon Keep Pigtails to Be Burie'
With: Little Hair Exported.

Washington. American women
will welcome with delight the official
announcement that the cutting
epidemic in China has in no wise
contributed to the supply sometimes
thought to be used by them as addi-
tions to their Growing glory" Con-
sul-General Anderson, at Hongkong,
reports to the Bureau of Manufac-
lures that the queues when cut are
preserved for burial with the owner
for no Celestial could hope to enter
the pearly gates minus this once essen
tial adornment.
Heretofore China has exported hu-
man hair to the value of $1,500,0 900
annually. The chief supply has come
from the barber shops where, in the
couse of shaving the heads of custom
ers, considerable long hair is acci-
dentally removed. Now that queues
are cut, however, Chinese BARRIERS
have no more long hair than Ameri-
can BARRIERS, and the supply is already
alarmingly short.
Very little of the Chinese product
has been used in the manufacture of
false hair, according to Anderson.
It's chief uses have been for the man
ufacture of hair-cloth and mattress
es. The hair of the average Chinese
Is far too coarse and stiff to be sat-
isfactorily used as a substitute for fe-
male hair, except in the cheapest OF
grades, and no considerable amount
of it has ever found it's way to the
heads of American women. In many
foreign countries are to be found itin-
Grant merchants who go about buying
human hair-paying for combings
and buying head Of hair from some
needy family whenever possible.

HEBREWS TONIGHT
BEGIN CELEBRATION
OF PUR|M FESTIVAL
Feast Is Signal for Merry
making and Rejoicing
in Church. .

Washington Hebrews will join with
their brethren in other parts OF the
world tonight and tomorrow in celebrat-
ing the feast of Purim. Like all other
Jewish holidays Purim begins at snnset,
and the first step OF its observance will
be service in the synagogue, but unlike
all others 1t is not a religious festival,
but simply commemorative of the de-
liverance of the Hebrews out of the
hands of their Persian prosecutors, and
the thwarting of the plots Of Haman.
Whatever there is of a religious ma
ture in the celebration of Purim may
be witnessed at the synagogue this
evening. where the Book Of Esther, the
"Megillah," will be read by the cantor.
The reading will be in English, and
appropriate music will be sung. While
the festival is commemorative and one
of merry making and rejoicing it is also
one of kindness to the poor.
No Hebrew is so poor that he does
not give to some more needy person on
the Feast of Purim, regardless of the
are given to children and to invalids,
and goodies" go to poor people who
could not otherwise have them. Even
the people who receive aims themselves
give to others VINO have been. forgotten.
In fact, Purim is sort of combina-
ton christmas and Fourth of July as
a public speaker recently called II. The
festival is founded on the Book of
Esther, of which one OF the learned
1sraelites said, 1T is the only book in
word God, but no Hebrew can read
1t without feeling that the hand of the
Father averted the calamity which was
In store for the children Of Israel"
