Unique Announcement.

On Tuesday afternoon, about
twenty-five guests assembled at the
home of Miss Salie Parker, where
they had been invited for an after
noon of social enjoy ment, but they
little knew what awaited them, nor
the pleasant surprise which would
soon be theirs. Everywhere were
the colors white and gold giving
evidence that something unusual
was taking place.
After most cordial greetings from
the hostess. each one was very gra-
ciously served with fruit punch by
Misses Marie Key and Rosela Par
kes, whence they were seated at
tables where a contest was conduct
ed, naming the various articles of
girls trousseau in iumbled letters.
On the souvenirs was the name of
her honoree and her tiance, these
also in jumbled letters o. gold.
While seated, as the econtest
closed, most delightful refreshments
were served, salad course, follow
ed by banana ice cream and angel
food cake, On which in orange let
ters was placed a significant date,
June Il, 1914. Mints were also
served in orange baskets on each
table.
AS this very pleasant feature of
the afternoon closed, all were sum-
moned to the parlor, where the
prizes for most successful guesses
were awarded. The first prize was
won by Mrs. J. R. Tompkins and
the BOBBY prize by Mrs. G. E. May.
AS Mrs. Tompkins received hers,
she read the following announce
ment which was the climax to
which all the afternoon entertain
ment tended.

CONCERNING TAIL OF DOG
Varying Theories as to Whether Gus
tomary Appendage Is or Is
Not Hereditary.

Edmund Perrier, the director Of Lhl
Paris Museum of Natural History, pub.
fishes the results of experiments made
by Philip de Vilmorin on the transmits
sion Of hereditary characteristics in
dogs. He says: various breeds OF
dogs are without tails, such as Breton
spaniels, Hungarian sheep dogs and
various toy dogs"
M. de Vilmorln speculated as to
whether this characteristic was hered.
itary. He had observed hundreds OF
dogs made by 27 crosses between dogs
OF different breeds. "The results
showed that the characteristic of
having no tail was dominant I'm the
descendants OF these dogs. 1t, there.
fore, appeared that dogs totally lack.
Ing tails were hybrids, while those
having long tails were pure breed"
In crossing among themselves tail
less dogs, M. de Vilmorin found rs pei
cent without tails. These researches,
NJ. Perrier said, conformed to the law
OF Mendel on hybrids and helped to
clear the complex problem Of heredity.

A SUM NAhI on ARGUMENTS
AGAINST Sen HYGIENE.

a great variety Of objections to the
teaching Of sex hygiene in the public
schools, has come from almost every
class OF thinkers one critic Of sex by
giene SAYS: "The delineatiou of the
symptoms Of diseases resulting from
the social evil, the vivid portrayal OF
the ravages of diseases on mind and
body, Will never protect the boy and
girl in the hour OF temptation
The opinion Of the medical profes
sion on this question is interestingly
set forth In the following abstract from
an editorial IN Medical Brief:h "Edu-
cation, of itself has never been known
to influence morality, and we have no
reason TO suppose that 1t ever viii.
After all in spite Of the sneer OF the
skeptic, and with full appreciation of
the benefits of sheer enlightenment, IL
| is to the moral appeal that we must
| look for this achievement All of the
broader knowledge TO which we are ad.
mitting the public on the subject of
sexual relations will count but little in
the fight against sex evils, If we do
not build upon that broader knowlede
proportionately broader and higher
ideals of life and conduct
An editorial writer in a well known
California newspaper opposes the pro-
posal 10 teach sex hygiene, because in
his opinion public instruction would be
| injurious to the principles Of the NOR
ality it pretended 10 subserye, Anoth-
er critic has well said that knowledge
| Is no preventive OF wrong doing; 1t Of
! ten leads, through suggestions, To evil
one OF the most i'm mpOrtant arguments
against the teaching Of sex hygiene in
the public schools Is that any law per-
mitLing such instruction is unconstitu-
| tlonal ami is an infringement OF the IN
divldual liberties Of citizens. The
teaching of sectarian religion in the
| public schools has been forbidden by
the courts as unconstitutional, Com
| pulsory medical instruction and exam
ination Of school children is believed
to be equally unconstitutional. 1t is
ably pointed out by one critic that the
public schools Of this country were not
established as experimental stations in
which sectarian theorists might work
out their particular notions as to the
moral education Of children. 1t was
not intended by the founders Of the
public school system TO convert the
| SCDOOl lUlO CllDlthl ltboidlOlg lol
children. The public school is not
maintained 10y the taxation OF all the
people for the PRONUNCIATION of any sec
tartan theory or practice IN either re-
lgion or medicine. The teaching OF
sex hygiene is uudeniably sectarlan,
and unfortunately II Is at best an ex-
| pertinent. 1t is small wonder, then,
that citizens all over the country have
risen in indignant protest against an
experiment upon their children, the
moral and physical outcome OF which is
/ SO dubious. DR.. George Nj. Gould of
Denver says on this subject: I'VE are
prone TO forget that we are dealing
with human beings whose hone and
fears are played upon by every word
and { las subtly as the most wonderful
musical instrument Is touched by the
fingers Of the master performer

CITY WINS SECOND TAX CASE.

The city has won again in the RelsS
assessment matter The facts have
been outlined in the papers several
times The Reiss company seeks to
have the coal unloading apparatus for
merly at the upper coal dock assessed
as personally SO as to use it AS AN in
come tax Offset. The subsequent ac-
cidental destruction of the property
does not affect the case. Ia 1913 the
company lost similar suit, they said,
to the imperfect record of the Board
of Equalization proceedings kept by
the city clerk. This year the company
had stenographer present and had q
complete record made and when the
board refused to change the assessment
to personally they sued out writ
of certiorari. The Coal Company
relied upon lease of the coal dock
premises which be longs tothe
500 Line. The lease they claimed
gave them the right to remove the
structures and that in consequence
and as matter of law the structures
are personal property. The court ir
deciding the matter went largely
npon the ground that this lease does
not provide for an unqualified right
Off emoyal OF the company
structures. The classification by the
city as pc "sonalty is upheld and the rs.
sessment stands.
Mantowoc is the only city among
The many where the company has
cocks that stood pat and refused to ac-
cede to their demands and thus saved
nearly $1,000 in taxes. The case will
now doubtless 20 to the supreme
court. The 1913 case may also 90 up.
