LEARNS WHY BALD
MEN GO TO SLEEP
Engineering Student Makes
DISCOVERY of Value to
Ministers.

Iowa City. Ia. Mich. 2.-Ministers all
over the world should hail with delight
the discovery of Ralph Eyre, of Osce-
ola, a senior electrical engineering stu
dent. Mr.. Eyre has made a great dis
coVery. He has proved, to his own
satisfaction at least, why bald headed
men go to sleep in church. He says the
paid mans roubles all are caused by
defective methods of church lighting.
"A glaring light before the eyes is
sure to produce drowsiness," MI. Eyre
reasoned. Men with bald heads and
negligible eyesbrows are less protected
from glaring lights than others who
are blessed with a full head of hair.
Women who wear hats more or less
resembling parasols in church, Of
course, have little trouble in keeping
awake"

GRAFT AND SOCIAL
VICE TWIN EVILS
INQUIRY REVEALS

Boston. Mch. 2.-"The financial
profit of the business of prostitution
is the principal reason for It's existence.
No other form Of criminal offense so
fragrant and open and so harmful to
the community would be tolerated for
a day in this state"
These declarations are made in the
report submitted to the legislature to-
day by a commission appointed last
year, which has conducted a detailed
investigation in 70 Massachusetts cities
and towns.
The report say that millions of dol
lars are invested in establishments
utilized for immoral purposes and that
prostitution in all its ramifications con
stitutes a vast business extending all
over the state"
The report emphasizes the dangers
of unregulated lodging houses, public
dance halls n recreation parks.
The commission has found wide
spread evidence of Il strong public SEN
t1ment against the continuance of the
conditions it has found to exist and ex-
presses the conviction that this evil
Is susceptible of successful attack and
treatment"

successful treatment of a portion Of
this class. The recognition of feeble
minded girls at an early age in the
public schools and proper provision for
their protection would prevent much of
the observed immortality among young
girls and the resulting temptations to
boys.
while the officials in no city in the
state have openly adopted the policy
of segregation and toleration," says the
report. yet it is a fact that in certain
cities there are streets where the bust
ness is conducted in much the same
way as ii segregation was the accepted
official policy.
I'm the larger cities the most fragrant
expression of commercialized prostitu-
ton is in connection with certain cafes
and saloons. These places are nor
mously profitable. The police take the
position that they have no right to in
terfere if the letter of the laws is OBJ
served, but it is difficult to under
stand why these immoral cafes and
saloons are tolerated"

BRIEF RESUME OF STATUS

Washington. March 2-Off1cials here
with such interest today the
report Of Captain Sanders, of the Texas
Rangers, saying Clemente Vergara, an
American citizen reported hanged, had
really been kidnapped and shot by
Huerta's federals.
While Consul Garrett had been Or
dered to mak AN extended inquiry and
vigorous representations demanding re-
paration be made to the Huerta gov
eminent at Mexico City; there was little
official information today on the YER
CARA killing, which has admittedly
stirred the Washington government
just as much as the recent execution
of William S. Benton, a British subject
at Juarez
The inquiry into the Benton case was
planned to begin in earnest today or
tomorrow with the departure Of q
special train from Juarez for Chihua-
hua furnished by Villa, bearing repre-
sentatives of England n the United
States. In Chihuahua, American Con-
sui Letcher will join the investigators.
Opinion is divided here on whether
Benton's body after being buried nearly
two weeks in a tropical climate would
show If his wounds were inflicted by a
pistol or a firing squad. While no sat-
isfactory answer has been made to the
American governments request for the
surrender Of the body to the widow,

the evidence Of a medical examination

That General Carranza was rapidly
getting into touch with the situation at
Juarez and Chihuahua and would ex-
ert his influence to clear up the Benton
case, was the informal assurance which
reached here today.
1t was also supposed that Carranza
would gain compliance to the American
demand for the body
Officials had before them today Gov
ernor Colquitt's telegram asking
whether the United States recognized
any constituted government in northern
Mexico, with whom he could arrange
for the extradition Of those whom he
believed responsible for he death Of
Vergara.
Charge O'Shaughnessy reported to-
day that he had made representations
concerning Vergara's death and that
the Huerta government had promised
a full and detailed explanation Of the
killing.
The charge did not refer in his dis
patches to the memorandum published
yesterday asking the United States to
revoke permission to the constitution
alists to buy arms In the United States.
SO far there Is no official knowledge Of
any resumption by the Huerta govern
ment of diplomatic exchanges With
