Children To Be Weighed
Weekly TO See if They Are
Getting Enough to Eat

New York, Dec. 26.-AH sorts Of
schemes have been devised to detect
undertaking in the school children of
New York. The latest and perhaps
the most practical of them has just
been put in operation in the Little
Vienna" section of the city, where the
pupils are being weighed on the city's
scales. 1t has been explained by teach.
ers that the mere asking of a child if
he or she is hungry is not satisfactory
as most healthy children are firmly
convinced that they do not get enough
to eat Another difficulty encountered
is that often when a pupil is asked,
Did you have any breakfast" he win
shake his head because breakfast
CHANGED not to be the name of the
morning meal at his home where "cOf-
fee" OF some foreign word is used to
designate the early meal. Under the
new system of weighing each child it
is hoped that the problem of learning
If the children attending school are
being properly fed will be solved. If
weekly weighings show a child to be
gaining weight it will be evident that
the child is not being starved or poorly
fed: on the other hand if the child
does not gain or lose weight it will be
taken as an indication that something
is wrong.

There had been three days of rain,

TREATY RIGHTS
IN TAKING INHERITANCE TAX
Collateral Law Held to Conflict With
Agreement With Great 6ritain-can
Not Be Taxed in Larger Amount
Than Residents Of stats-Must Pay
Back $685..

Des Moines, Nov. 30.-The Iowa SUI
preme court late yesterday ruled that
the Iowa collateral Inheritance law
conflicts with the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain, in a
decision given in the case of Mary
Ann McKeown VS.. w. C. Brown, state
treasurer. The court rules that the
state treasurer must pay to the appel
lee the sum of s7.S53.s9. the value OF
the estate Of James Murray, of Frank
lin county, less per cent tax.
There were many issues involved in
this case. The collateral inheritance
law provides that residents of foreign
countries who become collateral heirs
to Iowa estates shall pay 20 per cent
tax to the state. Iowa citizens are
required to pay but 8 per cent tax
The supreme court in the Mckeown
case rules that as the treaty with
Great Britain forbids discriminating
against British subjects, the tax In
the Murray estate must be reduced to
5 per cent.
Not in Conflict.
This ruling does not conflict with
the ruling given few months ago
that subjects Of Denmark may be as
sessed 20 per cent on collateral in
heritances. the court says. In the
treaty with Denmark no mention is
made OF Succession duties" while
the treaty with Great Britain does
make specific mention of it, the 'opin-
ion asserts.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 30.-As Janitor
Francis Wilson at the police station
walked into the big Jail on the island,
at $40 Saturday evening. he found one
of the prisoners hanging on a belt
which had been tied to the bars which
separate the outer corridor from the
section cells for bad criminals. The
man who committed suicide by hang
ing himself on his belt was Henry A.
Stewart, a painter from Scion, Iowa.
Stewart had been arrested at $3.50

The suicide has mother living at

that she met Stewart about a month
ago for the first time. Stewart worked
as painter in Scion. Miss Tichys
parents reside on farm near Solon-

up the money on the ground that Il

The supreme court says the evidence
shows that she appeared In time and
that the state treasurer must produce

case an attempt is being made to
