Evelyn Davis Marine, aged 81,
trained from babyhod as a gypsy and
ignorant of all except the dark life
of caravan and campfire, rags and
day is gypsy no more.
And neither Evelyn herself-pret-
ty, brilliant, with brain starving for
knowledge and soul thirsty for
beauty and refinement-nOr yet the
learned folk who are marvelling at
the girls quickness in learning, can
explain why this is so.
Something awoke in Evelyn's
heart. Something called, and she
obeyed. That is all anyone can tell.
Evelyn thought herself a gypsy
by birth. For Is years she lived with
the wanderers of Romany; spoke
their jargon, copied their customs,
cheat the conventional stay-at-
homes, the gypsies' proper prey.
Nobody told her that she was an
American girl of good family. No
bodyhinted that the gypsies had kid
mapped her from a convent in Butte,
year-old baby. She had no con
scious memory Of the gentle sisters
and soft-voiced priests of her infant
sleep.
She was married to a gypsy boy of
royal blood, lad of IL. By that
marriage she would some day become
Gypsy Quen.
Yet the morning dawned when she
awoke and dreamed to herself:
Forthwith she left the life of
vagabondia and turned to the ways
of her ancestors. Some say it was
the "cal1 of the blood" Others
ascribe it to the training of those
first three years. The old dispute
between inheritance and environment
is revived in Evelyn's case.
She ran away from the gypsies.
Clad in her gaudy rags and trim
ket,s with sun-browned skin and
dark locks to complete the make
up, she appeared in the office of
Miss Theresa Rich, probation Off
Ger Of Oakland, Cal, and said:
''I do not want to be a gypsy any
more. I want to find good home

Fall Hats Out of Luck;
Wilson EtiCkS to Straw

Lest the president think st. Louis
behind the times in matters of sar-
torical elegance, members of the
chamber Of commerce who greeted
him in that city were instructed be-
forehand as to the manner Of their
appearance when the chief executive
arrived.
Straw hats, it was decreed, were
taboo, and each member was in
structed to wear a fall hat" When
their welcoming ranks were assem-
bled at the station. it was discover
ed that all had obeyed, save one.
The mtscreant was Edward f. Col
ira, Democratic national committee
man for Missouri, who Haunted a
straw hat before the indignant
eyes Of his fellows.
Criticism of this conduct was
growing warmer and warmer when
the president appeared at the door
of his private car.

Soldier PopuIarizeS
Vans With Iowa PeODIe

That a big new market for Geor-
gia sweet potatoes is ready to be
developed in the state Of Iowa as
the result of Iowa soldiers. eating
sweet potatoes at Camp Gordon and
other southeastern environments was
the interesting and welcome news
received Friday by L. B. Jackson,
director of the Georgia market bu-
reau, in letter from Arthur D.
Lowe, a service man who has re-
turned to his home in Sioux City,
Iowa, and resumed business as head
of the firm of Lowe-Lynum COM
pany, commission merchants.
Mr.. Lowe spent six months at
Camp Gordon. He ate frequently
and learned to like Georgia yam po-
placed on the army and navy ra-
ton list by the war department at
the instance of the Georgia state
bureau of markets, the object OF
Director Jackson being to get them
introduced to soldiers from all parts
Of the country who were in training
in the southeastern cantonments.
On returning to his home IN Sioux
City Mr.. Lowe introduced Georgia
yams to his friends. and to his com
mission merchant trade. They in
stantly scored a big hit. Now ne 1E
or more. He writes Director Jack
son on two main points.
l. To get in touch with large
producers of sweet potatoes.
2. To ascertain whether sweet
potatoes can be cured in such a
way as to prevent them from spoil
ing in shipment.
On both of these points Director
Jackson has satisfied him. When
dried in drying houses now being
built all over south Georgia the
sweet potato will keep in sound CON
dition almost indefinitely, and Di-
rector Jackson has furnished Mr..
Lowe list Of the names of many
large producers.

Even Fish Are Tagged Out
In This Wisconsin lake

Even the fish are wearing identi-
fication tags these days. Out in
Lake Mendoza near Madison, Wis,
800 fish are swimming gaily around
their Watery haunts with small tags
on them. They were placed there by
Prof. A. S. Pearse, of the zoology de-
partment of the University of Wis.,
consin, who is carrying on a series
Of Investigations for the United
States bureau of fisheries.
Pickerel, perch, carp, gar and bass
are included among the 800 fish
About 1000 fish were tagged two
years ago, but so few were returned
that it was thought that the tags
placed on fins were lost. A new tag
to be placed on the gill was therefore
devised. A few scales of each tag
ged fisch are preserved because the
fish's age may be determined from
the rings on the scales.
DR.. Pearse has gathered much in
formation in the last five years con-
corning the habitats, foods, habits
and best growing conditions Of fresh
water fish.

were confined in the city jail.
They were later released when no

Mysterious Explosion
AT Sea Reported bV Crew

A mysterious explosion at sea
about 500 miles east of New York,
on August p, was reported to the
navy department by the steamship
Mercauke, Of Rotterdam.
At $3.50 a. m. the crew of the
Mercauke saw a great red glare
flashing up to the northward. Five
minutes later a loud explosion was
heard and masses of glowing ma
terial showed above the horizon,
much like huge rocket.
Captain Smith, of the Mercauke,
estimated the distance of his YES
sci from the scene at about eleven
miles. The course of the MercauFa
was altered and she cruised to-
ward the mystery, but no wreckage
was seen.
The navy department has no
knowledge of any vessel long over
due which might have blown up.
One theory advanced was that a
tramp steamer might have been
blown up.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Countless

here today in what probably was the

AS the parade passed st. Patricks

and General Pershing iismounted
and crossed to the reviewing stang
where Cardinal MERCER sat with
other church dignitaries. The cheer

soldier clasped hands with the Bel

Leen given a trenen lOuS reCept)oT
on mis- first arrival at the review

arose as he stood up to greet the
American commander made his 1'eV'
ious welcome seem feeble.
Before leaving for Baltimore, the
cardinal issued the following signed
statement:
"The American army won the
war. General Pershing is genial
leader. To him our respect. To him
our universal gratitude.
