BELIEVES DAUGHTER DEAD.
Father of Mccain Girl Says She Would
Have Written.


New York, Dec. 15.-Dismayed by
the futility of his search and the bar
renness of every clew reported to him.

Jessie Evelyn Mccain, the social
worker and teacher who has been
missing more than a week from her
Flatbush home, is convinced that she
Is dead and is spending most of his
time walking up and down the shore
front at Coney Island in the expecta-
ton of seeing the waves cast her body
on land
Although pictures of the girl will be
thrown on moving picture screens in
all of the eastern states in an effort to
find her, the father is not in the least
encouraged and doubts if these new
means of trying to find her will avail.
He is certain, he said, If his daughter
were alive that she would not remain
silent so long. He is positive that she
would have written. knowing how
much he and her mother worry.
Wendell Squires, the suitor of the
girl, who has kept up a continuous
search since she disappeared, said that
he is ready to marry Miss McCann If
she is found.

F. H. Eisele. Secretary Honesdale
Camp No. 1O6, U. S. Pa.
Dear Sir:
l am writing you to-day, as Secre-
tary of your Sportsmen's OrganiZa-
ton, and desire to call your attention
to matter that seems to us to be of
vital Importance to the welfare of
game, and, therefore, to all Sports
men. 1 refer to the feeding of our
wild game, especially birds, during
the Winter months. During the past
several years l have been collecting
data relative to the possibilities of
artificial game production and propa-
CATION; l have written to those in
authority in almost every State in
this Union; / have written to many
individuals; l have visited various
game farms, both public and private,
and while I am compelled to recog-
nize the fact that game of various
kinds can be produced upon the game
farms, am satisfied the cost of pro-
duction in this way far exceeds any
hope of return. / have collected
data that beyond question satisfies
me that neither the Ringneck pheas-
ant nor the Hungarian quail is a
"budder"; that is, can secure their
food from the tree tops as do our
native grouse, when the ground is
covered with ice and snow. am
convinced that these birds must be
cared for artifcially during the win
ter time if we hope to preserve them;
l am satisfied that in many ways
they are not to be compared with our
native birds--with our grouse or our
wild turkeys, or with our quail.
The Game Commission is satisfied
that far more good will come to the
state and to the Sportsmen through
the maintenance and care of our
native birds than can be secured in
any other way, and with that end in
view, / ask your organization to help
the officer in your district to locate
coveys of quail after the close of the
season, punches of wild turkeys or of
grouse, so that they may be fed dur
ing the coming storms of winter.
Our officer is instructed to get in
touch with your organization regard
ing this matter and / hope you will
understand that we are trying to help
you and that in turn you will do
what you can to help us help you
We will pay for feed, but the limit
ed funds at our command will not
justify the employment of agents to
feed the birds. This feeding, if pos
sible, must be done through organi-
cations. Kindly let this office hear
from you regarding this matter.
Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH KALBFUS,
Secretary, Game Commission.

ANOTHER NEEDLE VICTIM.

New York, Dec. 15.-The four doc
tors who examined Miss Elizabeth
Donnelly after she tainted on the
steps of the Lincoln hospital at Con-
cord avenue and East One Hundred

convinced that she was the victim of
a real attempt at poisoning by needle
jabbing, although no traces of any poi
son were discovered.
If there was any poison in the in
strument used by the well dressed
young man who followed Miss Donnel-

Woman's Beauty Age.
From London Tit Bits.


AT what age is a woman most beau
tiful?" has been the subject of a some
what spirited discussion in Partisan
art circles. NJ. Ferdinand Humbert. the
head of the School Of Fine Arts, owns
to two ideals. AS an artist his favorite
feminine type is between the ages of
eighteen and twenty-five-thet time of
RADIANT youth. AS a mere man, he
five to thirty-five years old are the most
fascinating and charming.
The veteran painter. Harpignies. is
not SO generous, for he sets the time
OF beauty at from sixteen to twenty
years-the age Of youthful simplicity
unmarried by the cares and anxieties
which years bring in their train. M.
Gabriel Terrier. on the other hand. &C
cords TO beauty lengthy reign. He
considers the woman of today is beauti-
full from the age of twenty-five to fifty,
for she has become mistress of the art
of how to make the best of herself
with the help of skilled dressmakers
and modistes
M. Barthalome, the famous sculptor
OF the beautiful Parthenon statues,
sets the time of beauty at between the
ages OF eighteen and twenty FIVE, but
with the reservation that there Is no
true beauty without goodness, and that
beauty Of face and form without beauty
OF soul has no appeal to him.
Jean Boucher, another famous
sculptor says that woman is at her
best between the ages of sixteen and
thirty. though from youth to old age
she Is adorable! What would appear
to be the most comforting opinion of
all, however. from the point Of view of
the fair sex. Is that expressed by the
famous portrait painter Francois
Flameing. "A woman's greatest
beauty may dawn at any time between
fifteen ha.
Let every man form his own opinion,
according to individual taste, as to
which of these years a woman is at her
best"

Reason for the Cityward Drift.

From the Baltimore American.
One branch of research work under
taken by a western university was in
form Of an Investigation of the causes
leading to the general movement or
young people of both sexes from the
farms to the cities. The investigation
was confined to sections of Minnesota
and was made by two college professors.
There was nothing new in the informa-
ton gathered. 1t is the same old story
that has been often repeated in connec-
ton with similar Investigations. The
railroads everywhere lead from the coun-
try to the town. The boys and girls get
a glimpse of the big town and are dazzled
with the life and movement. The farm
thereafter seems dull to them and,
sooner or later, they look for perma-
nent engagement in the CITY,
But there are some boys who stay in

them do, else the cities would soon be
overrun. In the study of the shift of
population from rural districts to urban

ing the past seventy-ive years. The do
ing of things with machinery that were
created the big factories. and the big fac
tories in turn have made the cities.
Farming also is now done largely by
machinery, but the city demand for the
man skilled in the handling of machinery
than is offered on the farm. When the
pay averages as high on the farms there
will be more general reciprocity in pop
ulation between the city and the country
