ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 29.-For
years Representative l.. A. Lydiard

Minnesota and suffered. Then he be-
gan to ascend the social scale and
finally became elected representative.
One Of the first official acts was to
introduce bill which will force cooks
in boarding houses and restaurants
to pass an examination and secure a
license. Cooks not having the official
document may be prosecuted for NAL
practice. Being drunk for more than
six continuous months ID sufficient
ground for revoking the license Per-
sons having a grievance against any
cook may lay it before the board,
which has the authority to call the
alleged culinary offender before it,

SPORTING REVIEW
BY HAL SHERIDAN
written for the United Press.

Written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, March 20.--New
Workers who play the races telephon-
ed their bets to police headquarters
the other day and were sore birds
when the ponies they picked as win
ners failed to fatten their bank rolls.
In its crusade against betting the
police department has gone in the
pooly room business-at least that's
the way the betters have it doped. A
pair of detectives from headquarters
sat at phones in an office in William
street, got all the information from
betting headquarters and received
about fifty bets from clients who
stand well enough to bet markers"
Some of these bets were on win
ners, and it was the howl brought
out by the lucky ones which brought
out true facts. They are calling the
cops welchers.
When the days races ended the po-
lice had collected all the information
they wanted. The regular poor rooms
are down on the police lists and raids
galore were in prospect.
A few weeks back it looked like
efforts to interest women in boxing
hereabouts had failed. But the 9TH
er night, when 200 of the feminine
fans gathered at Sixty-ninth regi-
ment armory to witness a boxing

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 1z-..
AT FRISCO is DEDICATED

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.-
With former Governor John X. Tener,
president of the National league, act
ing as orator and master of ceremon-
les, the Pennsylvania state building
on the Panama Pacific exposition
grounds was dedicated here today.
The most formal evnt to take place
at the Pennsylvania building will be
held on Sept. 4, the anniversary of
the first meeting of the Cincinnati
congress. For that occasion Cover
nor Braumbaugh and other state dig
nitaries will be present.

no authority in the matter, he con-
sidered the Importance of the secret
such, that he loaned all of the power
and influence of his office to its main
tenance.
The president and the three minis
ters then called in the president of
the budget commission, NJ. Paul Del
ombre and the secretary, Camille
Krantz. They told these two that the
future of France depended on the
budget commission making the ap-
preparations desired without even
asking to what end they were to be
spent. The president and secretary
of the commission alone were told the
real secret of the "Soixante-quinze"
and they pledged their cooperation.
They induced the budget commits
sion to make the initial appropria-
ton of S6,00O,OOO under title that
would give no indication of the real
scope. This item still had to be
sanctioned by parliament, but the
budget commission, the president Of
the republic and the three ministers
maneuvered in such way that the
item was passed without debate and
S6,OOO,0OO was appropriated for the
perfecting and manufacture of can
non, the existence of which had not
been even dreamed of by a single one
of the 900 deputies who passed the
appropriation.
Since then, similar tactics have
been followed at every annual ses-
sion of parliament. Without ever
daring to share the secret even with
the members of parliament the high
er governmental authorities of
France continue the securing of ap-
under various titles not
only until the perfection of the gun
and its manufacture in huge numbers
was insured, but until France was
equipped with the gigantic boundaries
and special machinery necessary to
meet any emergency-such as the
present which might arise.
That eventually the secret leaked
out and the Germans learned it, is
not admitted to be fact. But before
that time, the secrecy and mystery in
which it was shrouded by half dozen
of the highest men of France, has
permitted Of its development to de-
gree of perfection which the Ger
mans are still long ways from hav-
ing been able to attain. And in the
meantime, the gun is admitted al
ready to have saved France and on
its continued efficacy all France is
counting for the return to the home
land Of Alsace and Larraine and com
plete ultimate victory in the present
war.

HOOK WORM DISEASE
is PROBED IN TEXAS
United Press.

United Press.
DALLAS, Tex, March 20.-A three
years fight against he hookworm dis
ease is nearing completion today un-
der the auspices of the state hook
worm commission. During this per-
iod the commission has examined con-
ditions in an area of $4,000 square
miles inhabited by 100000 people.
Microscopic examinations to the
number of nearly $4,000 have been
made and perhaps $4,000 treatments
have been dispensed. Among chill
dren examined the number infected
was over 35 per cent.
The hookworm disease is popularity
known for its effect of laziness. DR..
%. II. Judkins of the state hookworm
commission, who said it would take
one or two generations to eradicate
the disease in Texas, also declared:
There is no doubt but what Texas
suffers an economic loss every year
because of this disease. For instance
if 1000 heads of families in any Civ
en- county are suffering from dis
case that reducs their earning capac-
ity from 10 to 20 per cent, 1t is not
hard to see where the county and
state are losing because of decreased
production. 1t is easy to see also,
that the state is squandering money
by employing teachers to teach chill
dren whose efficiency is reduced on
an average Of 25 per cent"

WAR NEWS FEATURES
lBy VIM. P. Simms.l

PARIS, March Shy Mail to
New ork.)-Should France issue
victorious from the present war, her
succe wiN have been due, more than
any other thing, to her "Soixante-
quinze" her famous rapid fire, ex-
plosive shell rs milimeter cannon.
This fact is now incontestably rec
ognized in technical military circles
the world over. The wonderful su-
periority of the instrument of de-
struction over all rivals was first dem.
gustrated in the two recent Balkan
vars. Used by most of the Balkan
states it wrough terrible destruction
against the Turks equipped with artil-
lery Of German manufacture. In the
present war, this superiority has so
manifested itself every day for the
past seven months that the "Soixante-
quinzc" has been elevated in the
French public mind to a place of wor-
ship almost alongside that accorded
to Joan of Arc.
popularity-if not of actual worship
the government has just made pub
lie for the first time a little of the
history of how the secret of the dis
covery and development of this most
perfected instrument of modern war
fare-and also the most deadly-was
kept for years from the world at
large. 1t has about it elements of
secrecy and mystery that alone would
make successful many novel or
play.
It was in 1897, that the highest
technical and military men of France
finally decided that all of the genius
of the country should be employed in
perfecting the "Soixante- -quinze." Ex-
periments had then been in progress
for seven years and had reached
point where it was certain that the
model then decided upon offered
greater opportunities for development
than any other.
At once, however, those in on the
secret were confronted with the prob
lens of being able to secure the i'm
meuse appropriations necessary with
out arousing the suspicion of rival
military countries which would at once
exhaust every possible resource Of
espionage to secure the secrets Of the
gun. Any debate in parliament or
even the appearance in the list Of ap-
preparation of large sums for the
specific purpose of perfecting the
"Soixante-quinze" would have tipped
off the entire world. The money
needed was not only for the actual
perfecting of the new gun but for the
creating of all the special machinery
necessary for its construction in great
numbers.
So important was secrecy consid-
cred that II was decided not only
