PRODIGEES FADE FAST;
SO WATCH CHILDREN

LONDON, Omitted Press) Just
now.following on the rise to fame Of
Daisy Ashford and various other
child prodigies, Sir Maurice Craig
has delivered a warning message to
those parents who seek to over
develop the minds Of their children
with a view to emulate those rare
ties.
Lecturing on 'The Healthy Mind-
at the Institute of Hygiene. Sir
Maurice declared that little Marina
duke might be able to paint pigs
before he is three. but he may not
have the intelligence to feed them
when he is thirty-three.
And If baby Etheldreda can play
heavenly music at the age Of five,
the chances are that she will play
like nothing on earth in later years
Intelligence" he said, "is far
more important than education.
which can be acquired at almost any
time. Intensive pressure in early
youth uses up energy which should
be spread over many years"
This, he added. could be observed
in all animal and vegetable life. The
quicker a thing develops the quicker
it dies.

COLLEGE MODERNISM
NOW ATTACKED

STONY BROOK. N. Y-Protests
against what was described as the
''infidel and evolutionary philosophy"
OF American colleges. voiced at the
Victorious Life Conference Of
Churches here today, was followed
by announcement that "the Stony
Brook Presbyterian Assembly would
establish next year a Christian
School for Boys in which the Bible
would be used as a textbook"
The attack on so-called modernism
in colleges was lead by Charles c..
Trumbull. of Philadelphia, editor Of
a religious paper, and the Rev. E. J.
Pace, Of Philadelphia, both of
whom declared the present day
trend in colleges tended to destroy
the faith of American youth.
The conference, composed OF sew
ersl hundred delegates representing
various denominations. also heard
protests against recognition by the
United States OF Afghanistan until
that country opens its gates to
American missionaries.

CAN YOU WEAR BLACK?

NEW YORK-Despite the perils
Of wearing black. which are pointed
out to every woman. this sombre hue
seems to be in the ascendency for
the coming fall and winter in the
softer materials and silks.
Every woman probably has been
told by some kind friend or relative
at some time in her life that she is
either too young or too old to wear
black.
Now that women never get old
the Fashion dictator has assumed
the responsibility OF forecasting a
black year, the first for some time.
The black vogue is. however, in
silks and the softer materials. which
are used in afternoon and evening
gowns.
Among the new frabics satin-faced
crepe bids fair to hold first place.
This is partly due to its good wear
ing qualities and partly to the soft
gracefulness of its draped lines. or
course, crepe de chine refuses to
give way an inch in the running.
A handsome and heavy silk crepe
which is popular this summer and
which is being shown in the ad-
vance styles for fall and winter is
Roshanara crepe.
One of Grauer Bros. most attrac-
tive afternoon gowns for the coming
season is this one of handsome satin
faced black canton crepe. The waist
is slightly bloused above a draped
belt
Pleated panels which hang longer
than the skirt at the sides, are at
tached to the gown by large fringe
cabochons and silk tassels.
The sleeve is unusual, being a
modified kimono set on with small
buttons Of the satin-faced crepe and
hnished-at the elbow with the fringe
cabochons.

nected, and it was ready in record

In spite of the optimism of Baron

Il is possible in Japan to get any

early date, but at the moment the
big navy crowd is in control, though
with a strong and apparently frow-
ing undercurrent among the leaders

As it win be necessary for force
to be used to bring Small into court
as long as he continues his present
attitude, it was apparent the situa-
tion would rest in that rather inde-
finite state untfl the Governor has
completed his term Of office, or is
willing TO submit to arrest.
Even II the sheriff or his deputies
should reach the Governor person
ally and read the warrant to him. the

and not go to court unless he were
forcibly taken.
Sheriff Mester, a huge man who
could probably pick the Governor up
with one hand and carry him into
court if he wished, said ne was sure
there would be no trouble.
Judge p. S. Smith is expected to
hand down his decision tomorrow
holding Small subject to arrest and
order the sheriff to take him into
custody The sheriff will probably
notify the Governor that he holds a
warrant for his arrest, and there the
matter Will drop, IL the Governor
doesn't change his mind and decide
to stand trial.
In the meantime Governor Small
was taking no chances. Burhes
