NEW CANARD ABOUT
BIRTH OF BACON
London Record Office So Re-
CARDS Story He Was Son of
Queen Elizabeth.

London, Jan. ~.
The office Of records here regards as
n canard the story Of Frau Deventer Won
Kunow. who declared before the Shake
speare Research Society of Berlin that
Francis Bacon was the son OF Queen
Elizabeth and the Earl of Leicester. The
report OF her lecture states that her evil
dence is an original document hitherto
in the possession OF the record office in
London, and in facts which have been
jeaIously guarded by British authorities.
The alleged document purports to es-
tablish definitely that Lord Bacon was
the son of Queen Elizabeth, whose mar
rage is said to have taken place Jan.
81, 1861. The son was to have been de-
stroyed at birth. but Anne Bacon, wife
of Nicholas Bacon. then keeper OF the
Great Seal, begged for the childs life
and the Queen reluctantly consented on
the condition that they take an oath
never to reveal the child's origin.
The secret apparently was not kept as
maid Of honor was found to have:
spread the information. whereupon she
and sixteen others were executed.
The boy grew up under the name OF
Francis Bacon, being told OF his origin
when 16 years old by his foster parents.
The document referred to by Frau Won
Kunow Is said further to show that
the birth was registered only. with the
date and the notation "In London al
though after his death the words "in
the house of York" were added
Frau Won Kunow also cited a docu-
ment to prove tina. second son was
born of the same union and brought up
in the house OF Essex and that Francis
Bacon and the Earl Of Essex really were
brothers.
British authorities say that the docu-
ments are difficult to controvert in the
absence of any references. but add that
If the documents were ever in the record
office they would be there now and no
one has ever heard OF their existence.
The name OF Frau Won Kunow does not
appear on the list of holders of students
tickets since 1911. The record office
asserts that it is not concerned with con-
cealing historical truth in fact. the atti-
tude Of officials ~ quite the contrary.
and 1t IS inconceivable to them that the
documents, II they existed. should not
have been discovered long ago and dis

The day Of the anonymous letter
writer who vilfies his political and
social enemies with the assurance
that In ninety-nine cases out or q
hundred he will not be detected, is
about to end. Thanks TO years of re-
search by DR.. Locard, director of the
technical police laboratory in Lyons
system OF correlating up and down
strokes and handwriting by means of
mathematical diagrams has been per-
fected and will be made known soon
to police all over the world.
Those who have already investigated
this new idea assert that it is just as
great a stride along the liLes of Grim
inal detection as Bertillons finger print
Identification system or the plan by
which BertilIon's successor, d. Bayles
solves crimes merely by studying the
pores of various parts OF the body Of the
suspected criminal.
DR.. Locard's discovery is based on the
theory that no matter how hard an
anonymous letter writer tries to disguise
he left hand, there is always definite
character forma ton in the letters Ex-
perts have been called to testify in thou
sands of handwriting cases. but In
ncnrly all such Instances there has been
counter testimony by other handwriting
experts. with the result that none of the
Ntiicting testimony could be accepted

veal characteristic differences but clas-
stiles them numerically. BY comparison
OF suspected documents with the real or
faxed scribbling of their author identih-
cation Is Immediately possible.
What 4 boon this will be to the feel
inss OF husbands who are maliciously
informed in the morning mail that the
wife is unfaithful. 1t will no longer be
necessary to employ detectives Just
send the letter TO DR. Locard with sam
pies of letters written by half a dozen
Of your friends and those OF your wife
and you'll be. almost sure TO solve the
problem.
The laboratory work OF Dr. Bayles in
Paris along the lines OF pore comparison
is meeting with great success. Only A
fortnight ago the Paris police photo
graphed the imprint left on a dusty jew
elIy case by "A part Of the left forearm
OF n burglar. Without any other evil
dence than a suspicious record and the
peculiar position OF the pores the police
were able 10 force confession from the
suspect who admitted that his "busi-
ness' was no longer reasonably safe and
assured the detectives he would like
more honorable life when his sentence
ended As evidence OF good faith he re-
turned all the stolen jewels.
or course such research work is bene-
fcial to the police. but one Paris news
paper suggests that there is no longer
any need for Sherlock Holmes and other
supernormal detectives now that Locard,
Bayles and Bertillon have succeeded in
registering crime indications in every
conceivable fashion.

London. Jan. e2.
It looks as though u Is the turn OF the
dog breeders 20 get rich now. Never be-
fore has there been such n great de-
mand for pedigreed dogs In England,
and the result In that prices have shot
up until the selling OF really good dogs
for from $1,000 TO $4,000 is not un-
common. Such prices are paid for fox
terriers. PelsinEese. Aisatian wolf dogs,
bulldogs and Airedales, the breeds for
which there IL the greatest demand. A
first class fox terrier, however, fs worth
s2500 in England to-day.
Tho reason for all this. OF course. r.
the war, which caused an acute short
age In the English dog population. In
1915 there we're more than 10000 900
dogs IN England. But as the war pro-
gressed the feeding question became
such a grave problem that In 1917
breeding was virtually stopped and III.
dog population was reduced TO under
half the 1915 figure. IL was not until

resumed, so It can be confidently e1-
pected that dog prices will remain high

SUMMER HATS.

It is a little too early yet to tell exactly what our summer hats will be like, but from all indications they will be sensible and at the same time arts- tic. The exaggerated styles does not seem to be gaining favor, and so far no freak hats have appeared.
 This is always cheerful to contem- plate because there are so many wom- en who are extremely intelligent on all subjects but that of millinery. It is much more important to choose a hat than to choose a dress. Yet many womeR know what type of dress is becoming to them who do not know the sort of hat to buy.
 Here are a few general hints:-
 If you have a very long nose or a very small one, choose hats with mod erately wide brims When I say a small nose, I mean one that it is in significant A well shaped small nose will look best if the hat brim is short if a toque is worn.
 The small round turbans that cover the forehad are not becoming unless the hair is dressed quite far down over the ears. Hats with turned up brims should only be worn by very young women unless the brim turns up so sharply that the effect is ma ture rather tran youthful. Hats that turn sharply back from the face should only be worn by those with good profiles.
 A great many of the newest hats
