Berlin Savant Declares German Woms en Are Steadily Advancing in That Direction-Sunbeam So-
 ciety's Latest Fad

Berlin. August 22.-(SpeciaI) )-Wilhelm IT Is again in collision with the heavyweight sculptors and artists. He wants to spend $25o.oeo in restoring Sans souci park and terraces to the condition it was left in py It's founder Frederick the Great. The, sculptors and artists are angry; they de- clare that all Wilhelm's historical restora- tions have failed; and that this one will fail most of. all
 Wllbelm's main plan is to restore the imposing marble colonnade in the so- called deer park which was erected by knebelsdorff on lines borrowed from Yer sailles This colonnade consisted of num- erous columns of red Silesian marble, with White carrara capitals and bases: a pilas- ter of sandstone, and miscellaneous col- lection of statues.
 Frederick ordered the statues in bronze\ and then in fit of thrift reordered them Tn gilded lead. After his death the colon nade went to- ruin; and King Frederick Wilhelm II meanly carried off the columns to adorn a hall in His brand new palace 1t Heilligensee.
 Kaiser Wilhelm wants the whole thing made IS Frederick left it. including the gilded lead statues. This enrages the sculptors and artists for two reasons. f1rstly. they say, it is another case of patronage of the sham antique: whereas Wilhelm might better patronize brand new
 modern style' Berlin statues of ar tlnclal stone with pitted faces and broken noses. Secondly, the colonnade will be out or place and entirely un-Frederician. because the whole park has been changed

Sunburn Clubs Latest Fad


 "Sunburn clubs' are Berlin's latest so- cial achievement. They are confined to the prosperous West End, and come, say those who should know, from New port. Bar Harbor, Concord and other American bathing resorts
 A sunburn club is formed by men and maids of the prosperous class that can afford to take prolonged holidays by sea or on mountain, and who return home to prove their prosperity and leisure by looking like Red Blanket and Bear in the Hole.' The function of a sunburn club is to perpetuate and foster holiday acquaintances made by those summer men and summer girls. The qualifica- tions for a sunburn club membership Is to have made the acquaintance of an ex- isting member during the holidays and at no other time. On putting up can didate for membership you must specify where you made his or her acquaintance.
 Sunburn clubs deprecate flirting, CO., quetting, and other summer girl frivoli- ties. The statutes of the first sunbun club says that the friendships arc to be continued on a sporting, open-air, nom sex basis" Apparently this rule is being well kept, for the most prominent sum burn club founder. the son of q rich Westphalian manufacturer named Mier- isch. married a summer girl whose ac- quaintance he made in June on the sand dunes of Westerland, North sea coast resort

Bald Heads and Boards for Women

Oi. ddnS Frlendentha1, "privat do- cent and promising savant of Berlin university says that German women are steadily developing in the direction of bald heads and boards. This is also true of women in other countries where the reproductive faculty is be- Ing suppressed in favor of the intellec- tuaL That is, wherever women are ceaslng to become mothers and becom- Ing doctors, jurists and professors.
 European women are growing like men in figure; and the secondary sex ual qualities are disappearing. This is noticed only by doctors, for as indfvid- ual women change figure in a mannish direction they conceal artifcially what they instinctively realize to be de- feet
 Similarly the increase in the num-l Der of bald women is not suspected, be- cause women in vast numbers arc wearing false hair without fear of de- lection. Women are growing bald be- cause their new intellectual life ex- bands the brain and skull at an age when the skin has lost expansibility; and the resultant tension deprives the hair of nourishment.
 Women are becoming bearded as part of a general assimilation to the male type. Dr. Raphael clews, a hair spe- cialist, who has kept notes for 40 years confirms this. f'South German women of the educated class all tend to grow beards,'' he says. "It Is conceivable that the future may see superior Inca class of women with boards and a degraded, servile, illiterate class without beards."
 Dr. Friedentha1s conclusion is: "A future Eve with complete beard and a mirror-like bald head, symbol of the equal division of labor with man Is in the domain of the anatomically pos- bible"

Sir Courtenay Bennett, Sees Little Hope For World Peace.

Sir Courtenay Walter Bonnet, Brit ish Consul General in New York, was born hfty-nine years ago to-day the son of J.. Nicholas Bennett of Ford Park, Plymouth, England. Sir Cour- tenay achieved the honor of knight hood the first of this year, as the re- suit of nearly forty years spent in His 5 Majesty's consular service in many parts of the world As Brit ish Committeeman in New York he occupies one of the most important posts in the service, and business of vast commercial Importance is daily transacted in the State street build ing which flies the British flag. The New ork consulate also maintains an office for shipping seamen in South street.
 It was in Panama that Sir Courte- nay began his consular service, and from 1876 until 1882 he was acting consul the greater part of the time. It was at that period that M. de Les seps, the distinguished French en- gineer who constructed the Suez ca- nal was beginning the great project at Panam ma, which ended in the dis astrous failure of the French conn pany In 1883 MT. Bennett was ap- pointed consul Asat Guatemala. the quaint little capital of the Central American republic of that name.

.D0N0vAN,S VOTE ON k BATTLESHIPS AND SALARY INCREASES
Comment In Dispatch From Washington By Correspon- dent Of New Bri-
 tain Herald

Tisc,1ssing the recent votes of Con gressr1an Donovan against two MloaL- tIeships and in opposition to the sal ary increase of U. S. district attor- neys the Washington corresponoenL Of the New Britain Herald, 1ind.) comm enfs thusly:
 Congressman Donovan is certainly a "one-battleship man. as agalnsI 4 two battIeship program and propapiy would be still more radical in oppGsa- ton to big navy program.
 Reason for Vote.
 "A big navy did nets prevent war with Mexico,'' Congressman Donovan | cornrnented. when asked for his req sons for his vote sAlthough, you know the advocates of a big navy ar gued it is the best guarantee against war It is also fact that those ma lions which have small or no navies can borrow money at lower rates than those with big navies. It is also true that the nations with small or no navies have the biggest foreign trade, in proportion to their size. 1 1T believe it is also true that the efficiency and power of navy is to be measured by it's gun power, rafn- CT than by the number of it's ships. f Opposes High Salaries.
 Congressman Donovan has declared himself in strong opposition to high salaries for United States district atS torneys and lie raised his voice in the house the other days against an in crease in salaries of such federal or ficials. A general federal statutes codifcation bill was before the house and Congressman Bartlett of Georgia l n aade an effort to get a raise for the United States attorney in Georgia.
 Let us see who it is we are rais- ing the salary for, remarked dr. Donovan, after the discussion of the I>~r al members of the house. We might as we'll have . little truth. No one can deny tha this court is to the United States a petty court; that it bears the same relation as a petty court to a state.
 fCongressmen Are Tortured.
 s.The principal part of it's business is the trial of cases of infrin ge ments of the public acts. What are, they? take to fine a man who has failed to destroy the stamp on cigar box2 How much ability and brains does it take for the United States to seenre a conviction or fix the. penalty on some one who has not procured his special license for the sale, of whis- key? How much brains and ability in a lawyer does 1t take to punish some one for sending scurrilous mat ter through the mails on post card 2 As say, they are con1paratively small matters.

Son of His Fafher.

Horace Darwin, one of the distin- guished sons of the great Charles Darwin, was born sixty-three years ago to-day. The great naturalist and eyo1utionist married a cousin, Emma Wedgwood. and all of their sons gain ed wide fame in scientific pursuits. Sir George Howard Darwin, who died in 1912, was an astronomer and a professor at Cam bridge. Francis Darwin, who was born in 1848 was the assistant of his father, graduate in medicine, and the author of many books on botany and other sciences Major Leonard Darwin served in the Royal Engineers for several years, but retired in 1890 to devote his en- tire time to scientific pursuits. Horace Darwin, who was born on May 3, 1851, is an authority on aeronautics and the manufacture of scientific in : struments. All Of Darwin's sons were
 born before the naturalist became s- worldwide figure through the aE- thorship of his epochaI work, ssThe Origin ofSSpecies by Means of Natur- aI Selection, which was published in 1859, and which immediately made Charles Darwin the great leader Of evolutionary biology.

IS IT TECHNICALITY TO OVERTHROW THE LAWS THAT
 PROTECT THE BALLOT BON? ?

M A Cl1lFFOfID WlLSON,8 having WI been found in the midst of an utterly illegal election, called another one, and to con cealkthe modification which his blundering and deliberate carelessness had caused asserted that .sThe champion of the referendum" had appealed to 'stechnicalities,' and that therefore he, the mayor, would call another election.
 With the stupidity which has recently come to characterize official conduct in Bridge port, his honor, failed to perceive, and appar emily still fails to perceive the position in Which his statement places him.. s
 Believing, as he says, that legal election has taken place, and that a legal order was is sued, he calls another election, which may over- turn the result of the first
 If his first election was legal, as he claims to believe then his second election is illegal, be- cause, all his authority under the bonding act ended whenever first election was legally held.
 As a matter of fact there isn't the slightest doubt in the yorss mind but that the election was illegal. He has been so informed, by his city attorney, and that in the plainest language.
 The election was more than Illegal, it was criminal. son refers are many of them technica1ties for bidden by the penal law, and carry punish ment of fine and imprisonment.
 Illegal ballots were printed.
 An Illegal method of voting these ballots was arranged S4
 
 The ballots were marked, and handed mark ed to friends of big debt
 The voting places were not arranged ac- cording to law.
 No secrecy was provided s No voting booths were provided.
 Voters were compelled to mark their bal lots in the presence of the election officials and of political sheelers of the administration.
 With respect to the importance of marked ballots, it is only 3 few years ago that the en- was thrown into confusion because of i25 specks on as many ballots. f
 Everybody remembers the deadlock year
 But there never was time before in which at an electors meeting all the safeguards Of an election were bodily overthroWn.
 Nor can the mayor say that he had not been warned.
 e Something more than year ago he held a SIMILAR ELECTION and was then informed by, this newspaper that the manner of holding that election was wrong, dangerous, and full of threat
 |ofs law, and was no election. The result Of it was a mere expression of opinion.
 So much for the mayor and his claim that he has called new election because of tech nicalities..'
 which, parrot-likes reiterates the false cry Of .techniealities. Tn justice to their readers, and in Justice to- the truth these newspapers ought to assist his honor, by stating just what the .technicalties were, and by printing 8 statement of the puni nishment assigned to each Isstechnicality.
