Penrith Notes

Members of Noble Grange, No. 494,
at their regular meeting Saturday, Nov.
%, showed their appreciation Of good
Master by re-electing to that office L..
B. Alley. Brother Alley is a wide
awake young Granger and good pre-
siding officer, who rules with impair
TALLY and reprimands with justice.
We are glad to welcome the return
to Penrith of our old friends and neigh
bors, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Hoppe and
Miss Teeter, who left our midst few
months ago to make home in Canada.
Mr.. Hoppe says of Canada: Seasons
too short; too much frost. although the
soil is fine." Good soil cannot grow
crops where Jack Frost makes it a
point to visit every month. Mr.. Hoppe
says Penrith is good enough for him,
and so it goes. Moral, do not leave
Pend Oreille county to go to Canada
unless you have to.
w. L. Richard and wife returned
Friday, the 22nd, from Spokane, where
they attended the National Grange.
Mr.. R. reports very enjoyable and
profitable visit, and says that the order
is of far more import than he had i'm
agined, and there are certainly some
bright lights at the head. There was
an eight-day session, and during that
that time a large volume of business
was transacted. AS everybody was
busy, but little time was given over to
pleasure and sightseeing.

ADMIRAL MAHAN IN LONDON.
American Naval Officer on His Way
to the Continent.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

OF Inc star.
LONDON. December q, 1912.
For brief holiday period London is
sheltering the most distinguished ex-
ponent of the strategy Of naval warfare,
Admiral A. NJ. Mahan of the United
States Navy, who is passing through the
metropolis on his way to the continent
He is taking a rest cure and that is
why, in the seclusion of quiet family
hotel in the West End, he slrinks from
discussion on questions of naval policy
tall, lean man with high forehead
and beard turning gray. Admiral Mahan
looks more like a scholar than sea-
man.
Admiral Mahan has noted without sur
prise the attitude Of the military authori-
ties in the Balkans toward war CORE
spondents. He thinks it was inevitable
ents to send long messages by cable Civ
ing the disposition and strength of an
armys forces. Such information would
inevitably fall into the hands of the
opposing force and might materially af-
feet the issue.
When America was fighting Spain there
was no such restriction. and enterprising
American journalists sent such messages
as they pleased. If Spain had been an
alert power she would, says Admiral
Mahan. have been able to make use
of these messages to her own consider
able advantage.

leges in the United States are giving some
instruction in sex hygiene.
Talks to Parents.

An indirect method of reaching the
young is to give lectures to parents on
how to instruct children in sex hygiene.
Most of this work is done by voluntary
organizations. Womens clubs have COM
mittees on sex hygiene and public health
and, through these, secure lecturers.
Most of the lectures for the instruction
of parents in Washington have been given
under the auspices of the Woman's Clinic
and the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. The lectures given by the Woman's
Clinic have covered the following topics
% How to tell to children the story of
the renewal of life; CO hygiene of Adde'S
cence; CD sex education for the Adde'S
cent and az social hygiene and child
conservation.
Sex instruction for children should
never be singled out and treated as a
thing apart from other phenomena of
life. 1t must be given as an integral,
important and tnseparable part of nature
study. 1t must be graded to suit the
need of the age and development Of the
child. Only such sex truths should be
given children as will satisfy their netu-
raj curiosity, as will anticipate and in
hibit wrong sex ideas, as will lead to
healthful sex life and conduce to moral
conduct.

NEURALGIA CAUSES CRIME.
Suffering Father Kills Blind Son and
Then Commits Suicide.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, December ), 1912
Neuralgia was the cause of a terrible
domestic tragedy at Bromley-by- Bow
near this city.
\ middle .e-aged man named Harry
Agar of Fern road, Devons road, killed
his three-year-old son Cecil who was
blind with razor and then committed
suicide.
The only motive that can be found for
the crime is that Agar was in great pain,
owing to neuralgia. He went to a hospi-
tai yesterday morning and implOred the
authorities to extract his teeth but they
came to the conclusion that there would
be danger in removing them. Shortly
after his return home Agar went up
stairs to a bedroom, in which his three
year-Old son was lying.
Nothing apparently occurred to arouse
the suspicious of his wife and at dinner
time she sent another child to tell her
husband that the meal was ready. The
child came down hurriedly, saying, Dad
dy is dead
Neighbors We're called in and on going
upstairs they found the man and the
blind child lying dead with their .throats
cut. Near them was a blood stained ra-
ZOr.

She was a stylish young woman with
her face sealed under white veil that
was so pinned and reefed around big

she wanted to paste a red cross sticker

OF course there wasn't a sponge cup
around. OF course not. So after she had
investigated every shelf desk along the
corridor she made sudden dart at the
only person who wasn't bundle laden in
the crowd that was going and coming:

desperate case. and as you look as if you

There was nothing shy about her ad-

choice with a directness that caught the
attention of everybody around-eXcept

to notice the romance that was going on
