cago Woman's band, of which he is honorary president, and to which he devotes half his time. The band Is composed of 160 girls. and is twice the size, Mir Peck says of the next largest girls band in existence.
 Fifty-four years ago Mr. Peck aided in founding the Chicago Press club, and since then has helped found five other of the city's most prominent clubs. For seven terms he was president of the Chicago board of education. He caused the erection of the first Confederate monument north of the Mason and Dixon line, and in 1896 took the first Illinois regiment of 1000 men south. and marched with, them through the streets of all the prominent south ern cities.
 He was the United states com missioner general of the Worlds fair in Paris, headed the finance committee of the Worlds fair in this city. and when the fair went to St. Louis his intercession with Speaker Cannon in Congress, his friends say. is generally accounted as the Jcter- mining factor in gaining St. Louis a $5,000,000 appropriation.
 A decoration was conferred on him by Emperor Wilhelm of Germany, and he has distinction as the only civilian American to rank as grlud officer of the Legion q Honneur of France, the rank which was lately conferred on General Pershing.

association, that most famous of sci- entific Bodies, which for generations has held annual meetings to discuss recent research, invention, discovery, and new theories formulated by sci entists throughout the world. Until closed against women as are those of the Athenaeum and one or two other London clubs. Some years ago the first woman was invited to ex- press her opinion on educational and economic questions in the sectional discussions. But this year. for the first time. nine women specialists are addressing the association in full convention.
 These women. chosen for their outstanding ability, come from vari- ous departments of scientific en- deavor. Miss E. Jebb, one of the most brilliant economists Cambridge university has ever turned out. Is reading paper on The Cost of Liv- ing, and Sliding Scales" Mrs. Bar bara Wooton, who has made an ex- haustive study of the principles of regulating wages and providing against unemployment in accordance with industrial capacity, is speaking on "Self-Supporting Industries" pr. Mary T. Rankin. who took a prom inent place on the committee ap- pointed by the government to tnves- tgate the position of women in in- dustry. Is speaking on "Elements of Compulsory Arbitration in Recent h. dustrial Legislation"
 Miss F. l.. Stevenson, C.B.E., pri- vate secretary to the prime minister, Is speaking on The Economic The ory of Public Expenditure" sub ject on which Mir. Lloyd George him. self will have to speak very soon, and with authority, if he hopes to stay in power.
 Capture Three Discourses
 In the section of psychology three discourses have been captured by women. Miss M. McFarlane, whose recent publications have created such 8 a,storm in the feminist world, espe- cially when she said there were many things vol n cannot do as we'll as men, will eak on Sex Differences in Tests et Constructive Ability" Color Thii!king,p which has been engaging the attention of eminent psychologists now for some time. in connection with business efficiency. is to be treated by Miss Bickersteth who is the most prominent authority on the subject. An Estimation of Vocational Fitness Among Mental Detectives" Is the title of Miss E. L. G. Ross address.
 Women have always specialized in botany and geology in English schools so it is less of a novelty for Miss Margaret Murray, a well-known explorer. to be down for paper on recent excavations in Malta, in the anthropological section; while three other women are to read papers be- fore the special sections on Plant Life" Sex and Growth Features in Racial Analysis" and Plant Senst- bility.'

WATCHES CHICAGO. GROW FROM 15,OOO ID THREE MILLION
Ferdinand Peck, 73, Began Public Career at IT When He Rode in Carriage
 With Lincoln
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 17.-From a population of 15.ooO to s.O0o,OOO Fer ,dinand W. Peck, Chicagos oldest resident native, has watched Chicago grow. He was born 73 years igo His father before him could tell an even better story for he watched Chicago grow nfrom a handful of frontiersmen, bare 40, to the mil lion and a half Chicago had in 71.
 While his fathers life In Fort Dearborn was more narrowing, Fer dinand Peck has had the more re- markable career. His father, with S9 others. In 1880, repulsed 400 In- dians, near where the new double. deck Michigan avenue bridge stands He died two weeks following the great Chicago fire.
 Ferdinand Peck opened his Career in the public eye at the age of IT, when he rode in the carriage with Lincoln at his secon inaugural. From that day to this MT. Peck has been one of the most befriended and befriending patrons of the press this country holds. Few men, his friends say have held the number of public and quasi-public positions that have come to Mir. Peck.
 Most important of all his accom- plishmments. MT. Peck counts his work in organizing. financing and completing the auditorium, which houses the Chicago opera. This was done largely unaided. MT. Peck said. He had President Cleveland to lay the cornerstone, and President liar rison to dedicate the finished build ing. All the officials of Canada and governors of 14 states attended the dedication.

 Washington, September 17.-Spe- ciaD. Is the average American housewife a spendthrift? Govern ment agents today are studying this perplexing question.
 Their study is based on the fact that wars effects have stimulated greatly the progress of the coop erative movement abroad but all though prices have gone high in the United States and despite lowered wages. are continuing to rise after some recession, so that living costs have proved problem for wage earners, efforts to promote co-opera- tive enterprises have not been very successful. A careful study of CO., operative enterprises have not been very successful. A careful study of cooperation in the United States | just completed for the University of l Illinois, gives the lack of spirit Of thrift among American housewives as among the principal causes for the 1 faiure of co-operatives, and race prejudice as another.
 The family man whose income did not increase between 1916 and 1918 I was the department of agriculture | points out in an Analysis, lin bad way" What he needed and all the wives and children thought they ought to have became so costly that new system of living had to be adopted. Millions probably reduced the amount of meat in their diet. There was a definie lowering of the standard of living and a large num- Der have not yet gone back to the old schedule.
 New Price Level Likely
 What happened during the war was only an intensified manifestation or what has been going on for two or three decades, according to some highly interesting figures just worked out in another investigation by Prof. Paul H. Douglas of the Uni- versity of Chicago, which showed that the purchasing power of wages has dclined fairly steadily since the nineties But the war has been the great price changer Anything whose wholesale price did not double dur ing the war was looked upon as cheap and the department of agricul- ture now reaches, independently, much the same conclusion that was reached by the federal trade com mission during the war,-namely that

Papeete. Tahiti. August 14.-(By mail )-Who the people were who erected the massive walls, fortifica- tlons and platforms to be found on widely separated islands all through the South seas still remains a mys- tery.
 For the past IS months a repre- sentative of the British museum has been studying the massive stone structures on Easter island. He is now on his way to Rapa to investi- gate the megalithic remains on the slopes of the mountain there. The same race that erected the collossal statues on Easter island, he believes constructed the Rapa Qualifications.
 These great builders were a race of white men of Aryan stock. ac cording to Professor MacMillan Brown of New Zealand. who has written book in support of his contention.
 After emigrating across the steppes of Asia in the stone age, the New Zealand professor says these white men finally occupied the Japanese islands. But again they moved on, this time compelled by increasing pressure of Mongolian hordes .om- ing down from the high plateaus of the continent and they went out to find new habitations across the wide expanse of the Pacific.
 There they set up an island m- pire. with it's capital the great me galithic city, the walls of which still stand on the island of Ponape

in the Carolines. It was this white race, the professor maintains, that in the days of their undisputed ros- session of the South Sea islands erected these enduring monuments.
 Many centuries later came a dark skinned race from fndonesia, which conquered the inhabitants and anal gamating with them produced the Polynesian type of today.
 Professor MacMillan-B Browns ar- gument is not generally accepted as sound by the large number of ..tu- dents of Polynesian origin. but they have failed so far to offer a Con- vincing theory in it's place.

the course of the world war was much the same as that of the ciVIi war. If the parallel continues, we may expect never to return to the 1914 price level. but, since in 1873. prices had gone back to about the 1863 level, in 1926 we may have prices at about where they wefe in 1916. And ths will be the next price level for the new normal condition.
 Economic pressure which reduces the standard of living is the great promoter of cooperation, and even in the United States, oo-operatives
 increased in number and influence durng the war. There Is even now national organization of co-opera- tives. But they are not very pow erful yet, and apparently, in the view of the University of Illinois in- vestigators, are not likely to be- come so in the near future.
 Need Thrift Spirit
 Absence of spirit of thrift among the common people" is blamed for United States, in the summary of the investigation. There Is de-
 sire to emulate those more fortu- nate1y placed among the people Of this country, that is hardly existent in some of the European countries. A willingness to pay whaeyere is asked for an article is characteristic of Americans, but not of most Euro peans.
 The Polygolot or Heterogeneous character o the population has made cooperation difficult. National and racial prejudices have destroyed the good will so essential to successful cooperation, consequently much of our cooperation is found among dis tinct racial and national groups, such as the Films, the Russians, the Germans and the Jews"
 Ignorance of cooperative methods, interruptions managers. the isolation of cooperative enterprise, excessive extension of credit. attempts to sell at cost instead of at the marked price, competition of chain stores and lack of unified policy are also given as among the reasons why co-opera- tives do not prosper in the United States. In the view of investigators, the practical benefits of co-opera- ton are not so much concerned with the money saved as with the edu- cation of the working people in bus mess principles and policies and in awakening an intelligent interest Tn political and economic conditions.
