Daughter of San Francisco CeIes-
tiaI Is Student of Law at the
State University,

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20.-An-
nette Kellerman has a rival, and a
formidable one. for the title of the
worlds most perfect physical wom-
an" And strangely enough, the rival
is not of Caucasion blood. She is a
pure Chinese girl. but everything that
a Chinese girl is not supposed to be.
The popular idea of the Chinese
woman, with bandaged feet and
stunted growth, Of seclusion amount
ing almost to slavery, must undergo a
change, for here in California there
is a young Chinese woman who is
physically perfect according to Occi-
dental standards, who is studying law
and who is an ardent upholder of
equal suffrage.
She is Miss ZamIock Lowe, daugh-
ter of a prominent merchant Of San
Francisco, and is the only woman of
her race who is enrolled in the law
course at the University of California,
She is not very tall, just feet 80
inches, to be exact to a decimal, but
with lovely symmetry conforming to
her height" the staid statistics Of
measurement tell of a figure fem
ininely perfect.
Nature, in her sudden leap from the
confines of aeons Of tradition, was not
unaided by Miss Lowe Not that fig
ural perfection was her object, indeed,
for the healthy body that would best
serve her brain was her desire, and
to this end she has undertaken gym
nastic work and a careful diet that
includes the best and simplest Of Chi
nese and American foods
Mrs. NJ. MCGEE, physical culture in
structress at the university, discov-
cred Miss loves perfection of meas
urements IN the ordinary course Of
taking initial measurements Of those
entered in the class.
The height first struck her atten-
ton, it being close TO that Of Annette
Kallerman, the Australian swimmer
whose measurements are perfect
Then Mrs. MCGEE noticed other fig
ures corresponding and on checking
up she announced Miss Lowe to be
equally perfect in figure with Miss
Kellerman.

By the time he was ls months old

English SparrOws
Used to Halt Weevil
Feathered Gan1ins Are Welcomed in
Alfalfa Fields of Western
States.

MADISON, WIS, Sept 2o.-The
English sparrow has found a claim TO
usefulness. The most despised Of
birds promises to be of service in
checking the spread of the alfalfa
weevu.
The spread Of this pest has threat
ened the destruction of the alfalfa
industry in Utah. Wyoming and
Southern Idaho and caused much
alarm among growers Of the plant in
Wisconsin and other Middle Western
States
That the seed introduction theory
Of spread IS false has been definitely
proved by T. H. Parks and James C.
Sanders, plant experts, respectively, to
the Idaho Agricultural College and the
University Of Wisconsin's College of
Agriculture Their investigations
have shown that the weevil feeds
upon leaves and stems of the plant,
but never upon the seed. On the
other hand, there is every possibility
Of spread in the fact that the beetle
or its eggs may be carried from dis
trict to district in the hay upon which
ii feeds.

at from 25 cents to so cents for each
pig. Upon the payment Of that much
hard cash the State Is practically
willing to guarantee to the farmer
that he viii get the market price for
the pig when it is old enough to mar
ket, and the market price for an ordi-
nary pig al the present time is from

premium payment is very light. and.

once during the life of the pig.
When the State completes the
spending OF some $4,000 this fall il
may be able to reduce the premiums

then be even less.
