CHILDREN ENTERED

For Honors in Forthcoming

Rivalry among mothers for pre-
ferred positions for their children in
the coming pageant. is found to be
one of the first stumbling blocks to
the managers responsible for the
coaching of 1000 participants by
October IL.
I'VE all admit your child is tho
prettiest. sweetest. dearest and most
beautiful. but please You know
every child can't have first place"
said Miss Ina G. Emery, in appealing
to an audience of parents at the
auditorium OF Woodward & Lothrop's
this morning to enter their children
with a spirit OF cooperation.
Approximately forty children were
enrolled this morning. bringing the
total enrolment to 25I. Rehearsals
will soon be under way, II was said.
The managers announced they had
secured the services of the best in
structors in Washington.
Among those announced arc Miss
Cora Shrcvc, dancing teacher. Percy

FIND ARM FLOATING
IN NIAGARA FALLS
0ismembered Organ Believed to
Be That of Daredevil Bar
rel Victim.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, July l3.-
The right arm of a man. tattooed
with a wreath and clasped hands and
with the words Forget Me Not, An
ME" was fshed out of the Niagara
river at the Canadian Maid of the
Mist landing late yesterday. The arm
is believed to be that of Charles G.
Stephens, whose attempt to go over
the falls in wooden barrel yester-
day proved fatal.
Walter ~. Stein, a United States
immigration officer, who first saw the
arm floating in the water, turned 1t
over to Coroner Thompson, who or
dered it embalmed. 1t has not yet
been definitely ascertained whether
or not stephens bore this mark.
Up to rfightfall Stephens body had
not been found. In the years gone by
the Niagara river has frequently
been the object of search for people
who have died in its waters. but per-
haps never before were people so in
tent as today in watching the
stream for the body of the dare
devil who dropped to death in his
barrel Sunday.
From the foot of the waterfall to
the outlet at Fort Niagara the stream
has been searched ever since day
light. II is more than probable that
the body will be found within a few
days on the Canadian side at the Maid
of the Mist landing, where the strange
currents make deposit of their dead
with surprising regularity.
More pieces of the barrel were
picked up on the lower river today,
including the end of the barrel in
which Stephens had built his seat. In
fact, practically all of the il-fated
barrel has now been found and has
entirely disappeared into the collec-
tions of souvenir hunters.
Undisturbed by the accident yes
terday, Bobbie Leach, who success
fully went over the Falls in a steel
barrel of his own design, nine years
ago, and who emphatically told
stephens that his wooden craft would
not survive the plunge, declared to
reporters that he might make another
attempt either this month or the next,
in the event of his being able to Sc
cure a steel barrel of the design in
which he made his dangerous 15S-foot
fall in 1911.

NOTED W0MANPLAY
PRODUCER ARRIVES
Nine. Rasimi, "Queen of Co..
ors," Declares Women of U.
S. Most Beautiful"

NEW YORK. July 13-After a days
delay in Quarantine because a num-
Der of passengers in the steerage
came from the typhus-infested zone
of Central Europe. the Cunard liner
Imperator, in from Southampton,
docked yesterday and discharged s63
first and second-class voyagers. The
steerage passengers, numbering 943.
were taken to Hoffman's Island for
inspection, and may be held in quar-
antine for five days.
Among the passengers was Madame
B. Rasimi. world famous woman the
atrical producer and manager Of
Paris, who operates the Theatre
Femina, a Partisan playhouse cater
ing exclusively to women, and who is
here on the invitation of Charles IS.
Dillingham; to consider establishing
similar amusement house in America.
Nine. Rasimi, who not only man.
ages and produces but also designed
the original architectural features Of
her women's theater and writes and
directs most of the performances
there, also manages the Theatre Ba-
Ta-Clan in Paris and the Lyons Thea
ter, in Lyons, France, and has gained
worldwide recognition as the queen
of Colors"
In justification of this soubriauet
she was dressed as she left the In
perator in a tastefully designed trav-
cling suit of new color--a unique
shade, between brown and oran~"-
which she said she had herself
originated and named "RouIiler."
American women she told report
ers, through her secretary, Pierre
Clavel, who acted as interpreter, are
beautiful because they understand the
use of colors. They know how to
dress to suit their own individual
points of beauty and study themselves
to learn what colors harmonic with
their personal requirements. They
are. for this reason, the most beauti-
full women in the world.
THE most beautiful women / have
known" she continued, ''are the busy
women-the women who do something
useful in life and like to work. Such
are women who care for their own
children-and get pleasure out of 't
not the kind of women who turn their
children over to nurse and see the
little ones once a week merely to kiss
them"
Madame Rasimi is herself an ardent
disciple of work and for this reason
has a man secretary. She works some
times fourteen hours a day in her
theatrical labors and declared that
women secretaries tired too easily to
keep pace with her.
