and charged in all directions.
Those in the coach expressed sur
prise as they saw the secretary and

stampede that the feat required an ex-
pert knowledge of horscmanship for il

ACCIDENTS CLAIM MANY.
Twenty four Thousand Workmen Kill
ed Last Year.

Twenty four thousand American
workmcn were killed by industrial ac-
cidcnts last year, relates Washington

Three million were injured. OF
these 5000 were hurt so severely that
they never were able to go back to

Ten thousand were hurt every day.
ten of them permanently incapacitatcd
These figures are estimates Of the
bureau of labor statistics, United

figures cannot be had. for seven states
do not report accidents or fataltIeS
and others are SLOW about reporting.
But the skilled stati$ticians of the
labor department who have been
studying industrial accidents for years
can make very close estimate, just rs

WOMEN MADE TALLER
Sports Said to be Responsible for Ply
sica Development.

They're bigger. Dressmakcrs say
thing in it and now along comes cold,
calculating science to explain WIN
women weigh more than they ever did
before.
Women are no fatter say the pnysi-
cal culture experts, says the New York
tribune. They're simply larger and
here is the reason: The women o. to-
day are one and a half inches taller
as a class than 30 years ago. Their
chests are larger, their waist lines
have widened. Their muscles have
hardened. All this makes them weigh
more.
The changes, according to those
who have made n study Of the subject,
are simple enough to explain. Wo-
men, especially during the last 20
years or so, gradually have been con-
verted from the clinging vine to ro-
bust persons who are proud rather
than ashamed of the physical feats
they can accomplish. Participation in
sports has turned the trick.
"Time was" explained William
Hermann. a physical training expert,
when a woman thought vigorous use
of the body and its muscles was un-
lGdylikc All that has changed, of
course, and the gradual participation
of women in sports and various forms
of exercise actually has brought about
a change in her height and her figure.
The change in height is not simply
case of athletics having taught a wo-
man to stand straighter. 1t is an ac-
tual change that can be measured.
In commenting on the change in the
feminine physique several Philade'-
phia dlesSmaHcra said the change =
noticeable principally in higher
chest and larger waistline. But they
think that perhaps the change in
waistlne Is due more to the dictates
of Paris than any actual physical
change.
Mr.. Hermann, however, holds that
there has been actual shifting in the
figure lines.
"The old time hip measurement ! as
disappeared" he said. This. o.
course. does not actually mean that
the hip measurement has grown
smaller. but the waistline actually has
grown larger, and gives that appear
ancc. Chests have been built up be-

BOLIVIA RICH IN OIL
In Some Sections Natives Dip II Up
In Buckets

In some sections of Bolivia oil IS so
plentiful on the surface that the ma =
tives have long been accustomed to
bale it out of holes with buckets for
local use. These Accommodations are
the result of natural seepages which
are most evident in the country lying
to the west of the Santa Cruz Yacuiba
trail says Trade Commissioner W. j..
Schurz, OF the Department Of COM
mercc, in his handbook of the com =
try, which was released today by the
bureau Of foreign and domestic com
mercc.
The mining, industry forms the basis
OF the economic life of Bolivia to a
degree unknown in any other South
American republic, says Mr.. SchurZ.
In 1919, S7.SS per cent. of the total ex-
ports of Bolivia consisted Of minerals,
amounting 10 n total value OF 1864 p
CTS bolivianos, or $49,3OO,633 ut normal
exchange.
The annual per capita consumption of
foreign goods is between $l5 and 50"
and the inexperienced American ex-
portar can readily overestimate the
market, says the trade commissioner,
adding that only in n few lines, like
Gotten. ordinary hardware and such
fCodstuffs as rice, flour ard sugar is
the demand what might be expected
from the size Of TIC buying population.
The Germans have lOrg held 4
prominent place in Bolivian business.
Mr.. Schurz states. Some years ago
they had virtually sealed up the in
terror country by controlling the APP
proaches to that market The war and
the allied commercial activities caused
q setback. but signs now indicate
that German traders are recovering
their former importance.

The Story of

A four states
were added to the Union in that
year. In 1890 two more states
were admitted, the first of which
was Idaho, so that during these
two years the manufacturer
must have been kept busy turn
ing out new flags with the prop
er number Of stars.
Idaho is very mountainous and
the name Is derived from the
Shoshone Indian word meaning
"gem Of mountains"
The first white explorers were
undoubtedly Lewis and Clark on
their memorable trip in 1SO4-J.
Idaho was a part Of Oregon
territory, which was jointly oc-
cupied by British and Americans
until the Treaty Of 1916 definite
ly turned over to the United
States the country south Of the
10th parallel. In 1863 Idaho
was organized as q territory,
with an area three times the size
Of the present state, as 1t in
cluded Montana and part of
Wyoming. The next year Mon
tana was set off for a territory
by itself, and In 1868 Wyoming
was organized so that in 1890
when Idaho was admitted as
the forty-third state Of the Un-
ion, its area was reduced to 49,
SSS square miles. Even SO it
ranks as the eleventh state in
size.
The rapid settlement of Idaho
was due to the discovery Of gold,
the same cause which so rapidly
built up the adjacent states. 1t
was In 1882 that gold was found
at Occur d'Alene in the northern
part of the state, and miners I'M
mediately flocked to the state
in great numbers.
There was serious labor trou-
bic in the Occur d'Alene sec
tion In 1892 and again in 1899,
when martial law was estab-
lished until peace between the
miners and mine owners was-
effected.
Idaho is fifth from the end in
the list Of states according to
population, and accordingly has
but four presidential electors.
But the state is developing rap
idly.

BANKRUPTCY PETITION
FOR BAPTIST TEMPLE
Creditors File Action Against
Negro Church.

A crash that had been impending, and
which, according to reports had led TO
friction within the ranks, came yester-
day when a petition Of involuntary
bankruptcy was filed in the United
States District Court against the Bap-
tist Temple, negro congregation, at 159
West 132d street.
Two of the petitioning creditors are

to recoup this outlay. Thomas Metz
claimed s400 and Samuel Alexander 1915

POLICE HERE SEEKING
TO CHECK UP STORY
Inclined to Believe Christman
Is Romancing.

Though police We're checking up last
night on the alleged confession OF
George Christnan in Los Angeles that
he strangied girl named Leona May
field August II and threw her body into
a stagnant pool of water in New York
city, they had practically decided his
story was either romance or that II
had no connection with the murder OF
the young woman found on the out
skirts of Long Island City. Nor did a
careful search of the records of the
Missing Persons Bureau show a name
resembling the one given.
! Capt. Arthur Carey of the Homicide
Bureau wired several questions to Los
Angeles, which he asked the police there
! TO put to Christman in regard to details
OF the disposal of the body He said he
would wait fuller details before taking
any action. There is no reason for
haste 1t was pointed out, as Christman
Is serving a sentence for larceny.
| 1t was said by the police the body
| found October p was in too good con-
dition to have been there since August
| IL, and that the legs, found later in Van
Cortlandt Park, were wrapped in news
papers dated october 20.
! George Christman was arrested in
YonlSers in March, 1915, on a burglary
charge and after investigation was
| turned over TO the police of Amsterdam,
! n. Y, to face a charge OF robbery.
Christman told the Yonkers police he
was trying to get to Fort Lee. n. j.,
where he was to appear as a motion pic
! ture actor and produced a letter, ap-
parently signed by an army captain,
praising his fine war record. Detective
| George Ford put him through an exam
ination in military tactics. however. and
he failed. The Yonkers police believe
he Is the Los Angeles prisoner and have
sent finger prints and photographs to
