One of his latest exploits was at Dun
kirk, when he shot dead in the air the
aviator and the observer Of a German
aeroplane. He went out against this
machine alone, and as his machine was
the faster he was able to gain an ad-

fired with fatal precision.

RACE SUICIDE LAID
TO GIRLS COLLEGES
Coeducation Is Urged as the
More Desirable Course.

Pittsburgh. = Separate colleges for
women in the United States should be
abolished and coeducation substituted,
according to Professors Roswell John
son and Bertha J. Stutzmann of the
University Of Pittsburgh.
This conclusion is based on the
charge that women's colleges contrib
ute largely to race suicide among the
best elements Of the American popula-
ton. Ry
In support Of this contention the rec
ords of Wellesley college have been
analysed and the results published in
the Journal of Heredity, the organ of
the American Genetic association of
this city.
The investigators found that twenty
years after graduation fewer than one
half Of the girls have married These
have borne only one and one-half chill
dren each.
Taking all the students into account
and allowing enough time to elapse so
that it is probable they will bear no
more children, the investigators next
found that the Wellesley girls contrib
ute less than one child each to the
race-that is, they do not, even repro
duce their own number. And the hon.
or students, who from a eugenic point
of view are assumed to be the pick of
the lot, do only about a third as well
as this.
To maintain stationary population
the writer's say that every married wo-
man should bear four children. From
this point Of view they believe that the
women's colleges are Fastening the ex-
tinction Of the old American stock.
The colleges are blamed for failure
to give girls an opportunity to meet
young men and for failure to make
them DESTROYS or competent to be wives
and mothers. It is shown statistically
that the marriage rate Of "coeds' is
considerably better, and it Is remarked
that at Wellesley the students are for
hidden to receive men callers even on
Sunday, their only free day.
Viewed as to marriageability, the in
vestigators consider a woman most at
tractive during her college years, and
they declare it of vital Importance that
young men should be allowed to meet
her in that period

OYSTER FARMING; SUCCESSFUL

Remarkable Returns From First Prac.
teal Experiment In Louisiana. -
New Orleans. = Remarkable returns
have resulted from the first practical
"oyster farming experiment the Loui-
siana state conservation commission
has undertaken in making use of the
heretofore unused water bottoms of
the state.
Sample shells from the bottom of
Silver lake, in Terrebonne parish, have
arrived at the Office Of the conservation
commission. and, although planted nine
months ago, clusters Of oysters, some
Of them of marketable size, from eight
to fourteen In number, were growing
on each. These shells were the old or
"shucked" shells that were planted on
the bottom Of Sister lake, or Lake
Caillau. as it Is sometimes called, to
provide clutch for the young oyster
or "spat."
This lake, having a water bottom of
800 acres, has the proper salinity Of
water for the growing Of oysters, but
lacked the necessary hard bottom or
other solids for the oyster "spat" to
attach itself and therefore prohibited
any experiment in the growing of the
bivalves. -- ..
Last year it was decided to sow the
bottom Of the lake with the old oyster
shells, and on May 8, 1914, the commits
sion distributed 10,4S8 barrels of old
shells over the lakes bottom. Results
were at once apparent, for by June 5
1t was found that 'spat'' from the seed
oysters sowed in the lake had attached
and were in all stages Of development.
Inspector J. Labat worked under the
direction Of Frank T. Payne The in
vestigat1ons showed that the oysters
were growing at rapid rate.
In March, or nine months after the
clutch" was planted, the inspectors
tonged up clusters from various parts
of the lake and sent these to the COM
mission for examination. The oysters
were remarkably rich in flavor and of
the priced salty taste.

GALL|P0L| GUARDS
TURKISH PENINSULA
Was Once a Beautiful City,
but Has Gone to Decay,

Wash1ngton.-'"The city of Gallipoli,
toward which the allied forces are
fighting, guards the neck Of the CALI
poll peninsula, where the peninsula
joins the mainland, near the elbow
formed by the Dardanelles strait and
the Sea of Marmora," begins bulletin
issued by the National Geographic SO
ciety. The description of this key po-
s1t1on to the best protected Of all Of the
worlds water avenues, a position to
which the interest of all the nations is
now turned with much questioning,
continues:
"Gallipoi is the last bar that locks
the Dardanelles, and secures Marmora
sea as Turkish lake. 1t is a power
fully fortified city, it's defensive works
having been begun in modern style in
1873, when the Russians threatened to
take possession Of Constantinople. The
work of Strengthening this port has
been carried on at irregular intervals
since. When the Bulgarians were at
lacking the lines at Chatalja, the
Turks, who felt that they might expect
an endeavor to turn their tanks by
way Of GallipoH and Marmora sea,
worked feverishly upon the ports re-
doubts. While Gallipoli is not COM
parable in strength to the greatest fort
resses Of Europe, it, nevertheless, with
it's modern batteries and extensive out
works, forms proper conclusion to
the nightly fortified water lane lead
ing down to the Aegean sea.
''This city beautiful Of the Greeks
(Kallipolis) was the first point in En-
rope to be won and maintained by the
Ottoman hordes. It is today anything
but beautiful city. Its streets are
narrow, 1mmethodical and dirty, while
most Of its houses are overworn wood
en- structures, in which decay and un-
tidiness mix to an unpleasing picture.
There are few buildings of any archi-
tectural interest, though the great lead
en- domed bazaars appeal to the 1magi-
nation Of the westerner. Some few and
uncared for relics Of eastern empire
and Grecian times have been left to
normal decay by the Turks.
Until Turkish occupation and the
putting into effect Of the suspicious, in
tolerant and shortsighted policies of
exclusion and exclusiveness Of the
orient Gallipoli seemed destined, as a
well placed port upon one Of natures
natural avenues Of water trade, to be-
come one of the greatest of all the
commercial cities Of the near east.
Through the centuries Of Turkish rule
it has slept an almost dreamless sleep.
Today, with a population Of $4,000,
with few ambitions and little under
standing Of it's advantages, it has, how
ever, under the Young Turk regime,
given some evidence Of q reawaken.

Fracture Of Jaw In Ball Game BROUGHT
Bailey to Himself.
Toronto, Ont.--Purley Douglas Bal
ley, son Of Professor George Bailey of
Cazenovia, N. Y, who while suffering
from lapse of memory enlisted in the
Royal Canadian dragons here on
March II last under another name, has
recovered his memory. He walked
into police headquarters and was so
affected by what he heard Of the ef-
forts made to find him that he had to
be sent to the hospital barracks.
Bailey, who Is a graduate Of SYRIA
cuse university, received a shock from
lightning and fell forty feet while en-
gagged in tree surgery in Denver. He
disappeared while on his way to see q
Syracuse physician. Partial recovery
of his memory is believed to have re-
suited from the shock Of fractured
jaw received in baseball game at the
barracks several weeks ago. He has
no recollection of having enlisted and
1t Is said will be discharged. ..
