"The consequences suffered by the

incredible acts of violence, the nature

known.
1t is believed a new attempt by the
Germans to isolate Antwerp from the

in that vicinity is covered with wa.

the earthworks they constructed In
that vicinity have been increased and
rapid-fire guns posted to the south

1t is estimated Germany has sent
10000 additional troops into Belgium
indicating a determination on the part
of Germany to hold the line of com

CONDITIONS BAD, THEY SAY

Washington, Sept. 17.-The Easterk
railroads have formally petitioned the
interstate commerce commission for
rehcaring in the advanced rate case.
They want to put into effect per
cent increases. This was recently
denied by the commission.
The roads contend that they face a
serious condition, brought about by
diminishing revenues aggravated by
the European war.
Before submitting the appeal for a
rehearing the roads secured a letter
from President Wilson asking the
country to take more sympathetic
view toward them. No date for the
hearing has yet been set.

SEX TEACHING
BY HERBERT QUICK

Copyright, 1914, by the Newspaper
Enterprise Association.)
1 know a group of children who
came under the influence of parents
and teachers who were greatly inter
ested in life and it's problems.
They roamed the fields with these
children and studied plants.
They were brought at once into
contact with sex in plants. They saw
the pistils and stamens. They OBJ
served the wonderful processes by
which fertilization is accomplished.
They talked of the distribution of
pollen. They observed the insects
carrying the principle from plant to
plant, and they understood the mar
vel of the impregnation of kernel
of corn by the creeping up of the male
cell through the long silk to the germ
in the ear. They found that some
plants are self-fertilized and some
cross-fertilized. 1t was a most inter-
esting and inspiring thing for these
young minds.
They learned without knowledge
the same principle in birds and ami
mails.
They came to think of sex as a
thing universal and dominant in life.
1t came to their minds in the cool
breeze which blows across the up
lands of scientific thought. There
was nothing impure about it; it was
all elevating and ennobling.
But there was no concealment of
the facts of sex There was the
freest discussion They learned what
every boy and girl must learn; but
in the right way, not by the nasty
story, the sinister hint, the sly in |
uendo, the covert revelation which
poison the minds Of so many boys
and girls.
Few parents are capable of giving
such instruction as this; but that it is
the right sort of instruction there can
be no doubt. With these children,

London, Emanuel Barnet, known as

food was In his hands. The West end
hospices entertaining orthodox Jews
had always looked upon Barnet as a
solution Of delicate points Of dietetics.
Barnet was known to Petticoat
