Boon for the Undersized.

From the Cincinnati Times Star.
No longer will visitors to the great
zoo in the city of Rome be confronted
by the sign Children half price" That
legend, familiar practically the world
over. is to disappear in the Eternal city
and perhaps elsewhere If the example of
the zoo authorities is initiated.
1t is argued that a chile who visits a
geological garden is able to see quite as
much as an adult, if only given the op-
portunity. 1t is not a question of age but
purely one of height Therefore instead
of fixing an age limit. the Roman zoo
has fixed a height limit. so that persons
of any age who are lacking in stature
Will receive the benefit OF the reduced
rates.
This novel plan would surely be re-
garded as a boon to the understood If the
limit of height We're not placed so low.
But as that limit has been fixed at about
forty-four inches, very few adults can
hope to profit by the changed system.
There is however, the germ of an eN-
cellent idea in this Roman notion When
it is considered how much that is inter-
esting undersized persons fail to see be-
cause crowd of tall men and women
obstruct the view, ii seems no more than
fair that there should be some pecuniarv
compensation for the loss Forty-four
inches. Of course. Is limit ridiculously
low. 1t merely places burden upon the
large child without helping the small
adult at all. But if a reasonable height
limit We're established. greater fairness
and equality than now exist would be
assured.

Lucy Fry of Culpeper.

To the Editor of The Star:
In your issue of Sunday September
~, is an article regarding an aged
negro woman living at Culpeper, Va, I'm
which it is stated that she was born
June 20, 1890 l make the following
literal quotations: Lucy Fry, born
June 20, 1890. the records prove it, and
there isn't the slightest reason for
skepticism Residents of Gull
peper county who lived during the
civil war know all about her history
and can vouch for this account. Also
Interested in perhaps the oldest woman
in America as one who has lived among
them, they have traced her record and
verified every fact" If she were to
make the claim that she was born June
20, $50, L trust that 1 am too much of
a gentleman to dispute the lady's word,
but for my own satisfaction and to con-
vince some of my friends who are from
Missouri, ] will ask one or two ques-
tions:
First. will you kindly give the name
and address of some person who knows
something about "the records" men,
toned?
Second are there existing records of
vital statistics in Culpeper county
which show the dates of birth of even
slaves. as far back as the year 1870?
Third. should there even be a pub
lie record of the birth of a slave child
at that date named "Frys Lucy" or
Lucy Fry" would not the chances be
ten to one that il related i'm any way
to the present Lucy it was her grand
mother? ROE REISINGER
