Prostitution of Genius?

A New York newspaper announced recently, in type suitably large, that Gertrude Atherton would report for Il the Carman murder trial. Mrs. Ather- ton is called "the famous novelist, and appended to the announcement IS a list of her more successful works including Patience Sparhawk and Her Times" ''His Fortunate Grace, American Wives and English Illus bands," "The Conqueror," "Rulers of Kings" "A Daughter of the Vine" "The Violent Runaways," Ancestors ,' "Tower of Ivory," and "The Gorgeous Isle" Some, if not most of these books, are familiar to American readers. Mrs. Atherton's name is prominent among the authors who have been able to "put over" one or more "best sell ers," and any newspaper should feel pride in obtaining her services as a re- porter. The hard working "sob squad will of course continue to do the heavy work, but Mrs. Atherton will be ex- pected to impart that individualistic touch which all successful authors are supposed to have.
 Perhaps there is no better place in the world to study the play of human emotions than in courtroom where there is a sensational murder trial go- ing on and successful novelist should be able to turn out some extremely in- teresting "copy" in recording her inn pressions of it, but there are a great many people who don't relish the idea of their favorite author descending to report murder trial for newspaper. They think, whether rightly or not, that such work is beneath her dignity and should be left to people who make a business of it and seldom omit any of the ghastly details.
 It may be only matter of opinion, after all. The newspaper which has ob- tained Mrs. Atherton's services has shown great enterprise, but some highly successful authors are the poor est kind of reporters and even this particular paper will doubtless have a few of it's tried and trusty veterans on hand to make up for any deficiencies in Mrs. Atherton's "high-brow' per formance.

ANTI-FAT ELECTRIC CHAIR
From the New York Sun.

The main man at the electric hospital of the Electrical exposition at the Grand Central palace proclaimed last night that hereafter when track athletes, prize fight erns. jockeys and others want to reduce they will not have to stop eating, run long miles clad in heavy woolen garments and all the while abstain from liquids All they will have to do now, the lecturer said, will be to go to the electric chair.
 It isn't the regular electric chair; it Is only new contrivance for taking the fat off by means of certain kinds of cur rents. The lecturer was careful to say athletes" but all the while he was look ing out of the corner of his eyes at some women a little inclined to stoutness. who were hanging on his words, and at one or two fat men who were asking where they could take the treatment.
 The new fat reducer which is said to be effective. looks like an ordinary arm chair with some electrodes attached to 1t. and the wires convey currents of the fara- die and galvanic variety over the body. Technically speaking, the man explained, weight is reduced primarily through the synchronous contraction of the muscula- ture and secondarily, through the electro chemical action of the faradic current passing through the tissues"
 This did not faze the stout persons and they were last seen writing down ad- dresses.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-10-23
Another Impractical Plan

The suggestion made by Capt. John c. Cheny, chief clerk of the depart ment of agriculture, that banks and merchants throughout the state refuse to advance money to farmers except under the agreement that they will plant no cotton next year is favored by the state superintendent of banks, Alex E. Walker. Like other plans that have been put forward for relieving the cotton situation this is impracti- cal. It is well meant but it will not work. It is somewhat in line with the idea that the legislatures in the cotton states should pass laws restricting the cotton acreage.
 Banks and merchants must be left free to act as they think best. It is likely that some merchants in making advances to farmers will have it un- derstood that the cotton acreage will be reduced, and some of the banks may lend money with similar agreements or with the understanding that the borrower will raise no cotton at all, but there can be no formal action that would put into effect "no cotton" agreement.
 In view of the present cotton situa- tion the world may feel assured of a small crop next year. Many farmers are prepared to hold all or part of their crop and those who are not will, when pressed, sell at whatever dis tresssd cotton" will bring. The farmer

get good lift. At any rate, the Birmingham district will share well in the new activities.

It is claimed that finger print identi1ca- ton was not the discovery of Alphonse Bertillon, who originated the "Bertillon system" The London police are said to have tried the plan first, having adopted it from a similar plan used in India. The
 original Bertillon system, which was
 known as "Bertillonage," was tried by Scotland Yard and later discarded as im-
 practicable. The finger print system was so carefully developed by the London po- lice that Bertillon recognized it's value and incorporated 1t into his own system, giv-
 ing due credit to his English contempor-
 aries. Bertillon's painstaking research,
 conducted through number of years. has
 contributed great deal of important data
 to the science of identification. The pho
 tosraph plays an important part in Ber-
 tillon's system. A process of elimina
 tion discards all unessential measure
 ments. Distinguishing marks such as
 scars, moles, deformities and other per
 manent pecuiarities are noted and 10 finger
 prints of each subject are recorded. The
 measurements finally adopted by Bertil-
 lon as essential are: The length of the head from the back to the front; the breadth of the head; the horizontal span of the arms, extending from finger-tip to fnger-tip; the height, when sitting, from chair to top of head; the length of the middle finger; the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger; the length of the left foot. Also the color of thN eyes and hair recorded, along with two photographs of the subject The con formity of the outer ear has more recently been incorporated into the Bertillon sys- tenn.

 A grateful southland is paying them . just tribute today, as it has dotted Dixie with monuments attesting their sterling worth in the past. But the veteran of the Confectionery needs no monument, other than a record of his valiant acts, to keep his memory cherished! The whole civ ilized world now honors the southern soldier, whose daring faithfulness and suf- fering have no parallel in all history.
 The south rejoices in these men of many a gloriously fought field, not alone for their heroism and loyalty, but for the ex- ample and inspiration they furnish to their decendents through all the years to come God bless you, old veterans! When the last call of taps is sounded may you be found sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust" and be as one who draws the mantle of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams"

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The less a wife costs a man the dearer
 she is to him.
 The reason a woman knows that hat
 would make her look 10 years younger is
 because she can't afford to buy it.
 No man is as good or as bad as his wife thinks he is.
 It doesn't hurt to tell the truth once in while A lot of working girls who are " caring s10 gowns obtained on the dollar down and -catch- me -for-the- plan look a whole lot classier than a lot of the prin- cesses who are wearing $100 gowns that are paid for.
 l never could see the kind of. charity that consists of spending s6 to have an investigator investigate the case of q poor woman who is trying to feed five children so the investigator can give hor an order for 30 cents worth of groceries and a lecture on the sin of wastefulness. Judging from some of the animals women marry you would think it was a felony to be an old maid. Electricity is great stuff. But father always had few nickels in his pocket in the old days when mother used to go around the house and gather up the lamps and take them to the kitchen and fill them and clean the globes. Women rave over handmade lingerie l But a man doesn't care how it is made
 as long as the right girl is wearing it. l The old-fashioned woman who used to I line them out in the back yard every
 wash day now has a daughter who Lats 1 .250 on her school ball team. It would help some if lot of the girls
 psed less powder on their noses and more
 soap behind their ears. The fellow who gets on street car with a bottle of cheap perfume souset, over his clothes has no business kicking because the man sitting beside him is ! carrying home a package of limburger cheese.
 If you want to find out how much faith your wife has in you go home some night
 with few hairpins in your coat pocket.

THE DIME IN TAP

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 We are told that on the Island of Yap, recently occupied by the Japanese, the common or ordinary dime Is as large as grindstone, being 20 inches in diameter. The only way these dimes can be made 8 circulating medium is to roll lem around to the point you desire to spend money
 Men who are used to carrying lot of dimes around in their pockets can be ex- pected to balk at the Yap dimes
 Nothing is said about the Tap quarter, but we can imagine that the Tap dollar looks as big as the balanace wheel of a 100-h. p. engine.
 The Tap dime, while possessing some points of little poular value, has a strong purchasing power. It will buy chicken, or a gross of eggs, or a dozen pints of plantation wine, or two years suhscrip- tion to the Yap Yowler. It won't buy a shoe shine, however.
 There are no shoe sinners in Tap.
