STATUE OF NORDICA MAY BE
FIRST OF WOMAN IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, July 20.-The friends
of the late Nine. Nordlca plan to erect
heroic statue of the diva in Central
Park, which will be the first statue
of a woman not only in the park, but
in the city.
Former Park Commissioner Slower is
much interested in the idea of having
a Nordica statue in the park. He
said yesterday: "At the time of the
dedication of the fountain in Bryant
Park, which is memorial to jose
phine Shaw Lowell, l had the matter
of statues of women investigated. I
learned that there is not single
statue of a woman in this city. In
my address on that occasion | COM
mented on that fact.
81 pointed out also that we have
erected just four monuments to
women here, one for each of the last
four centuries, and not one of them
is the effigy of the women memorial
lied. On a bowlder in the Bronx
there is tablet erected to the men,
DRY of Anne Hutchinson, of the sew
enteenth century; in the lower part of
Fourth avenue there is a tablet in
honor of Mary Lindley Murray, Of the
eighteenth century; in the Criminal
Courts building there is a bas-relief
of Rebecca Salome Foster, the .Tombs
Angel of the nineteenth century, and
in Bryant Park there is the monu-
ment to the memory of Mrs. Lowell"
Mr.. Slower said that there were
only two statues of women in the

United States. one in New Orleans
and the other in Hayerhill, Mass.
Park Commissioner Cabot Ward did
not show much enthusiasm on the
subject when asked about it yesterday.
He said he was not certain that the
erection of the statue would be per-
mitted in Central Park. The first he
had heard of the project, he said. was
when several newspaper reporters
called him up late yesterday after
noon.
II might have to turn this PROPOSE
ton down, said the park commission
er, for | don't know anything about
it. You know, we have all sorts of
propositions for buildings and monu-
ents in the park. don't know
what part of the park they want as
a location. The matter will be given
careful consideration IL it comes be-
fore me-"
The authors of the plan admit it is
in a purely tentative stage. A num-
Der of prominent musicians and music
lovers, however, have signified their
interest and their willingness to con-
tribute. Among these are said to be
David Bispham Daniel Frehman, Mrs.
Reginald De Koven, Frances Aida,
Ethel Barrymore, Mrs. Jason Walker.
Mrs. Charles Fl. Ditson, Mrs. George
j. Gould and Nine. Gadski.
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, it is I'M
derstood, will be asked to design the
statue, which is to be twice life size,
to be placed on pedestal as large as
the base of the obelisk.
The statue will probably represent
Nordica as Isolda or Brunhilde.

the first tiny mosquitoes appear
They are found clinging to the bot
tom of the gauze, ready to take fight

To the confusion of all feminists be
it recorded that male mosquitoes
never bite anybody. They live COM
paratiyely harmless, unsankuinary
life. Indeed, they follow the rule that
the good die young, passing away to
their reward in a few days, while the
females hang around making life mis-
cradle for as many people as possible
for two or three weeks.
And it is the maternal instinct in
the lady mosquitoes which eggs them
on to crime. 1t is precisely because
their eggs are more fertile when they
have taken blood that the females
are so voracious, so that they are
literally legged" on to their attacks.
There are. four different brands of

NEW YORK, July 20.-The theory
that. New York imports it's mosquitoes
from New Jersey, along with trusts
and clingstone peaches and other
bahes of existence, is exploded by DR..
Alvah H. Doty, former health officer
of the, port of New York, in a book
he has just written, THE Mosquito:
It's Relation to Disease, and Its Ex-
termination, which is published by
d. Appleton 6. Co.
1t has long been the plant of New
Workers that the high winds from
New Jersey watt over armies of mos
duitoes, which, under cover of dark
ness, creep upon the peacefully snooz-
ing citizens of Manhattan isle and
stab them. But DIR. Doty says that a.
mosquito can't travel so far. New
York is guilty of breeding and hatch-
ing it's own mosquitoes.
And the most available hateheries
arr the water tanks on New YORK
roofs. Any Doubling Thomas can

Man Who Would Sell
Home to Negroes Now
Said to Be Embezzler

RED BANK, July 20.-Ivar Bjorn-
stad, an insurance agent, is wanted
on a charge of alleged embezzlement.
His license was recently revoked by
the State insurance authorities. He's
the man who recently advertised his
house on Riverside drive along the
Shrewsbury river bank for sale to
negroes only. Riverside drive is a To-
cality of fine residences and estates
OF wealthy New Workers, and Born
stad's offer to sell the house to coll
ored family caused much excitement
and comment among the wealthy
residents of that neighborhood.
The charge against Bjornstad is
converting to his own use money
which he had collected as premiums
on fire insurance. The complaint was
made by Luther & Stapleton. of Red
Bank. Other losers are Theodore Still
we'll, of Everett: Fred Brown, Lewis
Chasey and Fritz Weberling. all of
whom had paid the agent premiums.
His collections. which he failed to
turn over, amount to several hundred
dollars. His whereabouts are un-
known.

after listening to the professor of
engineering. the professor of arch

Gospel contradicted itself and was in
other ways technically faulty.
DR.. Conwell denounced such in

on earth that knows so little as the
educated fool"
THE average member of the uni
Sersity faculty is so busily engrossed
IN every study except that of the
Bible that he can find no time to

continued DR.. Conwell, land there

instinct of mankind--that of relig-

for example. Coming from a staneh
Methodist family in Massachusetts,,
DIR. Conwell dropped from Christian

unbeliver, until the Civil War, in
which he was the colonel of a Mass

through the heroism and faith of a
small boy, who served him as camp
boy.
