Judge Lands made his findings
after Lewis Drill, St. Paul attorney,
who represented Miss Cox in her
breach Of promise suit against Ed
wards, and De Woody had testified
today. Drill, questioned by the court,
denied that any money had ever been
passed between him and any federal
official heer prior to or after the in
dictment of Edwards.
De Woody repeated previous de-
mails Of stories of the affidavit-mak-
ers that reflected on him.
'The court undertook this inves-
tigatiOn on his own behalf" said
Judge Lands. ''The result of the
hearing is to disprove utterly the
stories told in these affidavits.
Miss Cox has accounted for the
money she received in the breach of
promise action and her attorney has
denied that any money was paid to
federal officials. These circumstances
dispose Of the charge that not only
attacked these officials, but discred-
tied the case. Furthermore, the i'm
probability of Miss Cox having made
admissions to Hughes, Cummings
and Mrs. Berry that might have land

Obvious.
''In view of the peculiar contradic-
tons in statements of some of these
witnesses, it is the plain duty of the
district attorney to proceed further
and to determine whether the truth
is not available concerning the max
ing of these affidavits."
Judge Lands also denounced that
part of Hughes affidavits in which
he alleged Miss Cox made sneering
remarks about the St. Paul cIubwo-
men who aided her.

THE fox trot is running the one
 step a close race in the bid for
 popular favor. It came out of the sky or up from the earth last June, and starting badly handicapped, it is now, with the exception of the aforesaid rival, the most popular dance on the boards.
 The dancing public was beginning 10 crave for new dance. It was not weary of the satisfactory one-step, that is dance that is fresh every day, new every hour; but variety being the condiment of life. every one cried for new thriller, and thus the fox trot came into being.
 It may best be described as rapid fire one-step or the one-step gone mad. Either description fits it!
 But this newest form of the ''trot' must not be maligned. It is, when done by those who have learned the steps from professional, as grace full and charming as the hesitation. It has it's dangers, however,, for the distinguishing step of the dance is the amusing little "trot" which may degenerate into hop, skip and jump unless the dancer be wary.
 There are two things the dancer must keep well fin mind: first, that every trot step must be springy, and that every spring must not be jerky!
 The first eight steps of the trot
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-11-22

form long slow walk, backward for the girl, forward for the man. It is very like the long walk in the one step, only each step is held for two beats of the music. The girl goes backward with her right foot, the man forward with his left. At the change to the trots the whole body responds and each step, spring, is taken on the toes. The effect is exactly that of red fox making for his hole!
 This change must be made smooth ly and also the change from the trot to the serpentine. This step Is slower than the trot and resembles the grapevine of the tango, or the marcel wave of the one-step.
 or course, every experienced dancer introduces steps of his own in this dance. It may be as original as the One-step, which is but mix ture of all kinds of steps. One of the reasons why the trot and the one-step are not popular in Paris is because the dances are not absolute ly standardized. The French peo- pie are not fond of hit or miss danc- ing, they prefer one dance and do it perfectly than to dance dozen dances indifferently. It is, on the contrary, the originality and the pos abilities for individual effort in fox trot that make 1t so popular in this country. Given twelve dances, seven will be one-steps and five fox-trots ip the most popular bathrooms.

The ideal age for parenthood is between twen- tytive and thirty for woman, and be- tween thirty and thirtyhve for man.

 and the public in general as the abso- lute ideal of manhood. He is, If anything, too beautiful. Even the Apollo Belv1dere does not satisfy every American woman, as a well-known anecdote testifies.
 Many people would prefer as an ideal Cantain Scott, the heroic antarctic ex- plorer whose features combine with req sonable degree of comeliness an expres- sion of strong intelligence and determina- tion.

 Nevertheless Ted" Shawn is unques- tionably very fine physical specimen, and the conscientious eugenist must ap- prove of him as possible parent. We are informed that he has never had a serious illness in his life, and that every organ is in perfect condition.
 The perpetuation of physical beauty and health is one of the chief aims of eugenic science, being more important than any attempt to transmit special mental quail ties. investigation shows that children of fine physical development will, as rule, be of superior mental attainments, as men, tai ability Is usually associated with good physical stock, though not necessarily with great strength.
 It is a popular error that eugenic sci ence aims to perpetuate the special men, tai gifts of great men. Some people imag- inc that eugenic science applied to Will jam Shakespeare would have resulted in producing a long line of poets. Mental greatness arises from such a variety of causes that it is difficult to count on it's reproduction in offspring. The best we can hope Is that the descendants of a great man will show mental ability in some direction, but this result will only be attained if he and his descendants make suitable marriages.
 The first aim of eugenic. science, as ex- plained by Dr. c. B. Davenport, the head of the experiment station at Cold Spring Harbor. l.. l., is to eliminate physical de. fects, by preventing people from making marriages likely to perpetuate them. He therefore ascertains by investigation and experiment what defects are likely to be perpetuated when two parents suffer from

HIGH GRADE FROM
NEVADA PACKARD
SAMPLES OF SPECIMEN ORE
ARE PLACED ON DISPLAY
AT LOVELOCK

In the First National bank there
has been on exhibition for the past
week the finest specimen ever )ro-
duced in the Rochester district, says
the Lovelock Review-Miner. 1t
comes from the property of the Ne
vada Packard Mines company and
was found in an enriched shoot in
the 9O-foot ore body from which
that company has shipped so many
cars of high grade ore during the
past few months.
The block of ore is an altered
rhyolite and weighs approximately
lao pounds and is literally filled
with horn and ruby silver. 1t as
says 1900 ounces in silver and
$500 in gold to the ton. At the
present price of silver the valua-
ton would be almost $3.50 to the
ton.
1t is the intention of the company
to ship the speciment to Reno, where
it will be placed for a short time in
the window of the brokerage office
of Will F. Heffernan & Co.. and
then turned over to Prof. Jones,
who is gathering the mineral ex-
hibit for the university and who will
send it to San Francisco with other
minerals being collected in the state
for the exposition.
The impression is rapidly forming
that a genuine mine boom is due
at Rochester and the exhibition of
this ore will have the effect of ST
lencing all criticism as to the value
and extent of ore bodies in the dis
trict. The management of the Pack
ard have withdrawn all treasury
stock from sale, thus indicating that
they either value their stock higher
than the prevailing price, or intend
to build the mill which they pro-
pose erecting from ore production
and keep the treasury intact and
with any amount of ore of the rich
ness of the specimen they will have
no difficulty in financing a mill or
any other proposition connected with
the mine.
Mr.. Margrave. secretary of the
company, has just returned from a
business trip to San Francisco and
states that there is inquiry being
made among the Bush street brok-
erage fraternity for properties at
Rochester whose stock will stand
listing. He states that "the Pack
ard is the most active unlisted stock
in the market and prices are advanc-
ing steadily.'

WORK

Having exhausted its treasury in
charity work, the Goldfield Woman's
club, by it's president, Mrs. Charles

of the camp for donations of shoes,
clothing or money for distribution
among needy families and unemploy-
ed men. Mrs. James H. Parks, vice
president of the club, who resides on
Columbia street, opposite the Gold
field hotel, will receive and distrib-
ute donations.
In consequence of the influx of
idle miners to Goldfield, due to the
circulation of the news as to recent
developments at depth in the Jumbo
Extension and other mines, the re-
quests for aid received by the club
this year have far exceeded those of

nurse BACK FROM FRONT TELLS
OF CONDITIONS PREVAILING There

LONDON, Eng, December 9.-The
throwing of 100000 wounded
French soldiers and thousands of
Belgian and French refugees into
northern France has led to /: terri
BILE condition there, declares Mrs.
Harry Floyd, wIIe OF a widely known
English artist, who has returned
here temporarily from service in
French hospitals. Suspension of in
dustries and the difficulty in OBJ
tanning supplies from abroad has
made the problem of sustaining life
a serious one. she says.
Hotels and other buildings have
been taken by the government for
hospitals in all the towns and vii
lagos of northern France and ade-
quate furniture has been provided
for most of these said Mrs. Floyd.
But the crying need is surgical in
struments, anaesthetics, antiseptics
and all sorts of hospital supplies
and clothing for invalids brought
from the battlefield wearing only
the tatters of uniforms.
"At Limoges, which is not a large
place, 10000 wounded and 10000
refugees arrived in a single day in
October. In many of the govern
ment hospitals it has been necessary
to put the beds so close together
there is not even a passageway be-
tween them, and the patients must
be moved over each other. At Am
ems. Calais and other towns near the
fighting line conditions are much
the same.
II was at Houlgate for many
weeks assisting there in a hospital
which accommodated $50 patients.
We exhausted our ~antiseptics. At
times we we're without ether. / even
saw nurses rewashing old dressings
because there were no new bandag-
es to use on wounds. All the anti
tetanic serum was exhausted and it
is not possible to obtain more in
France, as it's manufacture has been
exhausted. Great Britain has for
hidden the expectation of this serum
as it reuires all it manufactures and
the United States is the only source
from which we can now obtain 1t
for use in French hospitals. This
serum is especially necessary, as
much of the territory over which
the troop are now fighting has been
heavily MANFRED for centuries. Con-
seauently all wounds instantly be-
come infected and tetanus is very
general.
