TEACH CHILDREN
LIFE MYSTERIES

Urging that children in the highe"
grades of the public schools be in
structed in the physiology and by
gtene of sex, in order that the future
Of the human race be safeguarded
through knowledge, rather than suffer
further through ignorance, DR.. w. q.
Hobby closed a series of six lectures
on sex problems at the Y. NJ. c. A.
last night.
DR.. Hobby arraigned the double
standard of morals, denouncing the
lnfairness of a system which permits
che course of conduct for a man and
another for woman. He argued that
the single standard could only be
made possible through the education
Of the coming generation on matters
from knowledge of which, hitherto,
they have been carefully shielded.
The series of lectures by DR.. Hobby,
six in number, had large average
attendance and in the opinion of those
VITO attended them supplied invalid
able information.

.SPRECKELS HEIRS
STILL FIGHTING

According to the following news
article in the Call. the Honolulu real
estate men on the way to San Fran
cisco. in rivalry for the purchase of
valuable Spreckels property here, may
on arrival find they are on a wild
goose chase:
The recent decision of the state Su-
prcme Court overriding Probate Judge
Coney and holding that the will Of
Claus Spreckels was valid is not to
end the legal battle over the late sugar
nagnate's $5,OOO,OOO estate.
The will ignores two of the children,
John d. and A. B. Spreckels, on the
ground that the father provided for
them during his lifetime, and gives the
estate to the other children, Rudolph
and C. A. Spreckels and Mrs Emma
Ferris Of London.
Recently Judge Coffey entered in his
court minute record ordering the
dis tribution of the estate IS though
Claus Spreckels had died intestate, OF
equally among the five children. The
battle will be continued over this min
ute record, and no matter what dis
position of the case is made before
Coffey one or the other side will take
an appeal to the Supreme Court.
This minute record IVES the after
math of the application of the attor
neys of the three favored children fol
a final distribution of the estate under
the Coffey decision that the will was
invalid. They had previously asked
for a partial distribution on the theory
that the will was legal. John D. ant
A. B. Spreckels opposed the action. Il
was on that latter and the two broth
ers' opposition that the lower court
ruled the will illegal.
John D. and A. B. Spreckels' attor
neys held that the other three children
are bound by their application for {
final distribution and the Coffey min
ute order in spite of the Supreme
Courts later action in UNFOLDING the
will

ARKANSAS MAN
ASKS FOR LAND

The fever for public land that has
seized so many local residents in its
grip has crossed the ocean and has
rapidly spread inland, even penetrat-
ing to the Utmost recesses of Arkan-
sas where it has reached the ArBan-
saw Egg Farm of Pettigrew, Arkan-
sas.
An employe of the egg farm, whose
name the acting governor did not
give out, has evidently been attacked
by the malady, for this morning Mr.
Mott-Smith opened a letter bearing the
Pettigrew postmark which besought
for instantaneous news regarding pub
lie lands in Hawaii.
The inquirer was especially anxious
to become a small farmer, as he had
been told that there was untold wealth
awaiting the farmer in a small way
who embarks in the islands and he
furthermore desired to obtain his land
without coming in person for it, as
he explained he wished to send his
application and after the drawing to
have a proxy choose his land.
The letter has been turned over tc
the land commissioner.
