Prof. zueblin, 49 Today, Urges Schools For
 Mothers and Fathers

Prof Charles Zueblin, the socio- Iogist and pub1icist who has recently attracted attention by his advocacy of training schools for instructing men and women in the science of father hood and motherhood was born in Pendleton, Ind, forty-nine years ago today. Prof. ZuebIin was educated at the University of Pennsylvania, Northw estern University, Yale and the University of Leipzig, Germany, and for many years was professor of sociology at the University of Chicago
 Prof. Zueb1in is a. stern critic of the present-day marriage customs fPre- vious to marriage" he declared in a recent lecture, "a young woman has been kept so busy that when the day of the wedding comes she is mental ly and spiritually unfit for the great moment of her life. Then we follow the ceremony by customs that are a relic of savagery and barbarism- The throwing of rice and old shoes gives every appearance of frivo1ity to this most important step in her life. In spite of this woman attains the posi- ton of rnatron with earnest and seri- ouss thought.
 .eIt is the nnisfortune of girls of the better class that they have not had to work; the girl who has had her breakfast served to her every day. who has been helped to dress. who has been sheltered from all domestic duties, is not fit for a wife or moth CT. People do not deserve to eat if they cannot prepare their own break fast at the table. The time is coming when women must make all their own clothes and their chiidren's and they will be beautiful
 The Boston sociologist holds that there should be training schools for fathercraft as well as schools of mothercraft. He declares that such educational institutions are necessary to teach men and women sex-hygiene and the science of rearing children. Mothercraft schools should teach, among other things, how to choose the particular kind of food best for each child. how to buy and cook foods, and how to begin the instruc- stion of children. Those who are irl- c1ined to sheer at scientific parent hood should remember, says Prof. zueb1in, the terrible infant mortality which prevailed in the tsgood old times,'-a mortality which has been decreased in recent years only by the application of scientific Knowledge to the subject of rearing children. z

Italians Celebrate
 Overthrow of Francis
 Joseph's Domination

Italians yesterday celebrated the fifty-sixth anniversary of the dec1ar- aticn of war by France against Aus tria=a conflict which marked the be- gining of the end of Francis Joseph's domination over Italy. It is the re- membranee of this war, which enabled the Italians to realize their dream of "a free and united country that is largely responsible for the general Italian sympathy for the cause of France in the struggle now being waged.
 Just as in this war, it was the arr rogant attitude of the Austrian dip- lonats which precipitated the conflict which proved so disastrous to the young emperor Francis Joseph. Fol- lowing the revolutions of 1848, which had confused all Europe, the contin- ent was at peace, and western Europe was, enjoying a brilliant prosperity. It was an era of almost unprecendente material progress The British crown had suggested scheme for general disarmament which was receiving fa- vorabfe consideration in nearly all countries.
 Then Austria threw her bombshen. The italian question was then the principal problem confronting Euro pean statesmen Count Cavour, the able premier Of Piedmont, the only free and constitutional state in Italy, 4l6tO Gdt&S4l ONaI1lcS5 gO4 l1l$5t AO11SIOSS of Paris to denounce the Austrian re- gin1e in Venice and Lombardy and the general Inisgovernfnent Of the south ern and central portions of the pen4 nsuIa. Napoleon H. sympathizedl with Cavour, and entered into a se- cret treaty which had for its object the overthrow of Austrian domination.
 At this juncture Austria addressed 3 gfosIy insulting uItimatun to Pied mont, demanding the disarmament of the Piednontese army within three ldays. Count Cavour made a tactfuI Austrian demand. The next day an Austrian army crossed the Ticino, and 1 the struggle was on.
 l On the third of May the French government declared war on Austria, \ and on the same day a French force Eentered Genoa, while Parma, follow
 ing the example of Florence, staged ] a bIoodIess revolution. Declaring that l he would free Italy from the Alps to 1 the Adriatic, Napoleon III. placed
 himself at the head of his army.
 France was aroused to tremendous
 enthusiasm for the Italian cause. [ The campaign was Whir1wind af- 1 fair. Although his force was inferior, l Gen. Forey defeated the Austrians at 1 IMontechello on May 20th. Two weeks later Marshall MacMahon routed 1 Francis Joseph's troops at Magenta, I where the Austrian losses were 25,OO0. 1 While the triumphant French and
 Italians were being greeted with wild enthusiasm in. Milan. the Austrians gave up Lonlbarady and concentrated at Solferino for a decisive battle. On
 June 24th ten hours battle was waged. and the Austrians left 3o,D0O men upon the field when they gave way

BRYAN CONSIDERING REPORTS DE ATTAC
 ON AMERICAN SHIP

: Washington, May 4. President Wilson had before him for consider atIon to-day preliminary reports from American Consul Stephens at Ply- mouth telling of the torpedoing of the American steamer Gulflight in the English Channel, resulting in the death Of her captain from heart fail- ure and the drowning of two Of her crew. These reports were submit ted to the President by Secretary Bryan who has directed Consul Ste phens and Ambassador Gerard at Ber- lin to make a thorough inquiry into the wreclxing of the steamer.
 Although state department officials who have looked into the legal phases of the matter based on the prelimin- ary reports are convinced that there was no excuse for the attack on the Gulf1ight, Secretary Bryan reiterated his statement that until the official facts in the case are in hand no de- cisIon would be reached as to the American governments policy or it's representations to Germany.

JAPANESE MAY ASK

Tokio. May 4.-Minister of Justice Ozaki is quoted by the newspapers as having announced that the cabinet had decided to send an uItimatum to China urging her to reconsider the decision to make no further conces- sions to Japan. It is explained in ofncial circles that Japan has no de- sire to resort to force, but that Chi ma must be made to realize this country. is determined upon the ac- ceptance of it's program for solidify- ing the peace Of the Orient

COLON CITIZENS PLAN
 RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD

Colon, May 4,-Plans for rebuilding the large section Of the city which was burned over in the disastrous fire of April 30. were discussed yesterday at a meeting attended by President Porras and Secretary of Foreign Af- fairs E,rnesto Lefevre together with the principal merchants and land lease holders. The chief question, discussed was whether the new struc- lures should be of reinforced concrete rather than of wood as was the case before the conf1agration-
 The commercial outlook in Colon is so gloomy that it is feared that many whose buildings were destroyed will lack money with which to rebuild with concrete.

APRIL ESTABLISHES
 MANY RECORDS FOR MONTH OF SHOWERS
Rainfall Slight and TemPera- ture Makes Remarkable
 Fluctuations.

Joining in the carnival of making 1915 the most memorable year in the history of the world, April went back on it's famous speciality of April show CTS during last month, in the neigh borhood of Bridgeport. and disap- pointed a popu1ace. umbrella manu- facturers and sundry vegetation by achieving a. record
 It broke another record for sudden f1uctuation of temperature. On two successive days, at a, time within an hour each day. the temperature drop ped 20 degrees. It was the hottest April known.
 The maximum temperature for the month was 93 degrees, as against the greatest height reached by the ther- mometer in 1896 when it climbed to 90 Fahrenheit. This extreme point was recorded on April 25 and 27, and by a remarkable coincidence it will be noted that it attained this level at 5.2b o'clock on the first date and 6.25 on the second date, when in twen- ty minutes time on both occasions it descended rapidly. On the 25th it reached a minimum of AT or 46 de- grees difference in less than 20 min utes. The mean temperature for the month 52. is higher than any record in 4S years, which has remained 46.6.
 These figures have been prepared by Cooperative Meteorological Ob- server William. Jennings for the Unit ed States government and are accur- ate in every respect.
 ssi As observed. above the greatest daily range was 46 degrees. on April 25, while the least daily range oc- cured on April 30. with a variance of only. five degrees in the mer- cury.
 The total precipitation for the month was 1.8S inches, making the month of showers look sick as against previous records, as 1t is just 2.13 inches below the normal for thai period. The greatest rainfall in any period of 24 hours occurred April 8 when 50 inches fell Snow fell dur ing the month to the depth Of 6.4 in cIles.

Modern Ideas of Fame

One of the interesting events of 1915 will be the ballota.to be taken between July 1 and October I, for new names for the Hall of Fame at New fork university. This year Pat rick Henry, Samuel Adams, John c. Calhoun, Daniel Boone. and many other famous heroes of the past will again appear in this poSthun1ous electi ioneering, each with ardent par tisans New electors for the 1915 bal Ioting are now announced
 This election is interesting as it re- veaIs different peoples ideas as to what. constitutes fame. Years ago great military and naval commanders would have predominated. Today a marked change can be seen, in that place than fighters
 This growing tendency to dignity the position of the writer is seen in many ways. The well-known annual volume Who's Who's has always given a conspicuous place to author ship. not merely of books. but to dis tinguished magazine and newspaper writers. Many people have found places in this publication, who in their own home community are quiet and almost obscure people, yet who reach millions of people through the magnetism and sweep of the printed page.
 In previous generations authors were a down trodden folk Often they could subsist only by the charity of men of wealth, who prided them selves on supporting the fine arts.
 Today the successful author can not complain of obscurity. He is highly paid and feted. So much flat tery is given many bright young writ CTS that they conceive the idea tEst they need only open their mouths and the world will listen. They forget that hard work is the price of con tinued success, and often lapse into obscurity. The number of promising literary careers of young newspaper men who are wrecked by premature social adu1ation is almost inconceiv- able. The men and women whose names will finally go into the Hall of Fame summed popularity, and toiIed and suffered for their crowns,

The Bureau of the Census has just
issued volume that will surprise
some of the theoretical and imagin-
airy statisticians. 1t is bound vol
ume OF 2S5 pages, devoted to the "In-
dian Population in the United States
and Alaska 1910" Contrary to the
general impression, the Indian popu-
lation is increasing, rather than di-
minishing, though the increase doubt
less represents gradual diminuition
of pure Indian blood. In 1890 the u
nited States census showed an Indian
population of 24S, 253, which in 1910
had increased to 265, 1888. In 1890 the
Indian population of Wisconsin was
$3.50, and in 1910 it had increased to
10, lao. The present Indian popula-
ton of Wisconsin is undoubtedly the
largest that ever occupied this terri
tory. The early Indian population,
when white settlement began here,
was, from the best estimates that can
now be made, taking the figures made
by the Jesuites and others, including
our early government agents and A
merican traders, very much below the
present figure. The Indian popula-
tion of Wisconsin is little understood
by the average white citizen, so it is
worth giving in the present anthem
tie form Wisconsin ranks eighth in
the order named by Oklahoma, Ari-
IONA, New Mexico, South Dakota,
California. Washington and Montana.
Flftyeight of Wiseonsin's II counties
contain Indian inhabitants. Twenty
seven Indian tribes are represented
in this state, some OF them, however,
like the kickapoo and the Sauks and
Foxes. have but one representative
each left among us. The principal
part of our Indian population is repre-
scented by five tribes, viz. Chippewa,
200; Menominee, 1850; Oneida,
2,l07; Winnebago, 1855: Stockbridge,
500 This volume goes into the racial
characteristics of the Indians, mari
tai relations, illiteraey, school attend
ance, and occupations, so it is Of
great value to students who want a
basis of fact for their theories of In
dian conditions.
