A few light and widely scattered

continued unbroken.
In the great irrigated districts the

P. Hofer informs the News that
the item in last weeks issue which
stated that Swiss girls are permitted
to marry at twelve years of age and
boys at fourteen, was huge mistake.
He states that eighteen and twenty
are the ages at which they can mar
ry. Mr.. Hofer lived in Switzerland
until he was thirty-five years old,
and therefore ought to know a good
deal about the customs Of that coun-
try. He has many interesting things
to tell about his scenic native land.
and keeps in touch with his old home
by taking daily paper published in
his home town. He learns from this
newspaper that there are many Am
orleans visiting the Alps region at
the present time, and recently there
were some fatalities among them
while climbing the mountains.

GOOD BRAINS IN JAlLS
Criminals Show a High Average OF
Intelligence,

COnvicts in penitentiaries show a
higher average of Intelligence than
the general population, DR.. Herman
Adler Of Cleveland Foundations Just
ice survey told members Of the Cleve-
land Academy Of Medicine at a re-
cent meeting.
Reporters, men returned to the pen
itentiary time after time, show a high
er average intelligence than those
who learn their lessons the first time,
Doctor Adler said.
Criminals who are caught and con-
victed are not necessarily those least
intelligent, but those with an antago-
nizing personality, Doctor Adler ex-
planned. An engaging personality is
the most frequent cause Of miscar-
riages Of Justice. he added.
Ten million people in the United
States are classed as feeble-minded,
that Is, they would be confined II
brought into court or q mental clinic,
he said.
These conclusions were derived from
q tabulatiOn Of mental tests Of 1,7OO,-
600 men in the draft army and 1000
convicts in the Illinois state peniten-
tiary. The tests In turn were con-
f1rmed by examination Of selected
groups picked according to military
qualifications before the tests were
made.

few sections wheat has been damaged
by rust, resulting in diminished yield
of grain. In the dry farm sections
The long continued heat and drought
are affecting vegetation adversely,
and the crops not yet matured are at
standstill. In these sections the
yields Of grain and hay have been
more or less reduced by these unfav
orab!e conditions. Dry farm pastures
and meadows are parched. The range
is drying rapidly in most localities,
but feed continues ample and stock
are in good, thrifty condition.
Harvesting of grain and alfalfa is
being pushed and the work is going
forward under most favorable wealth
er conditions. The hay crop is ex-
| ceptionally heavy and the quality IS
all that could be desired. Corn, po-
tatoes, beets, apples and pruncs are
all doing we'll and coming to mat'lr-
ity in fine shape.

Plan War on Hair Seals.

Hunting hair seals by airplane and
destroying them by machine-gun fire
has been seriously proposed to the
Canadian fisheries department by fish
ermen, says report from Vancouver.
B. G. The scheme proposed and tried
last spring of trapping the salmon-de-
stroying hair seals at the mouth of
the Fraser river by means of set lines
and short laterals armed with strong
hooks brought measure of success,
but was not entirely victory over the
wise mammalia of the ocean. The
new proposal Is to come down on
them from the unsupported heights,
as they bask on the sandbarS In thou
sands, and pour stream of bullets
into them.

Original GaIoshes,

The fashionable galoshes that are
now Tapping about the ankles of
pretty girls were first introduced in
America about 1880 in Boston. The
galOshes or boots were as ugly and
clumsy as they are today, but were
even more popular. They required
peculiar care, as the manufacturers
had little knowledge of the use of
rubber gum. In winter they froze
hard and stiff, and had to be thawed
out before they could be worn. and
care had to be taken not to. thaw
them too well, or they would run into
sticky mass. In the summer they
got sticky and shapeless unless kept
on ice and taken out during a rain
storm only. No one who was anyone
thought his or her toilet complete
without pair. They had to be
watched carefully, for once they start.
ed to rot the smell was terrible, and
It was necessary to take them out and
bury them.

University of Idaho, Moscow
Have you a job for a student?'
This question is being asked by
faculty and business mems commit

they get through with the stores
they are going to tackle the residence

FREEDOM MUST BE BOUGHT
And the Price to Be Paid 10 Complete
Mastery Of All Passions and
Appetltes.

Freedom Is not a gift, but an at.
tainment. It does not characterize
the state Of nature, but flowers from
the growth Of personality and civiliza-
ton.
Action issues from character and
there Is inner discord and the feel
Ing Of restraint until the individual
Is happy and satisfied in his act and
attitude.
A divided will marks incomplete
personality, and 1t Is not free will.
Every man must win his own free
dom. He must desire it enough to
pay its price, and its price is the mas
terry Of passions and appetites.
As man gains mastery over his
own powers and desires he is free.
Resolutions are good, because they
witness to the sense Of incomplete self
mastery and to the vision Of greater
self-control and freedom that are pos
sible.-Minneapolls Journal.

J.P. KENNEDY QUITS
RACING COMMISSION
Resignation May Mean a Split
Between the Maryland and
New York Authorities.

Special Despatch to TIE New York HERALD
BALTIMORE, Nd, April 8.--Though the
racing at Bowie was spirited and pro-
lific of several close finishes. the chief
topic at the track was the sudden resig-
nation of Joseph P. Kennedy from the
State Racing Commission. Suggestion
that the right of licensing would be
taken over by the commission within a
very short time was revived, and there
was a general disposition to regard the
action as the first evidence of an i'm
pending split between the Marylanders
and the Jockey Club.
Mr.. Kennedy stated in his resignation
that he had lately acquired business in
terests that would prevent him from de-
voting sufficient time to racing, and
Stuart Oliver, chairman Of the commits
sion. later put at rest the r,lnor that he
had lately suffered a change OF opinion
and that he would advocate jockey Ii
censing by the State.
Gov. Ritchie let it be known that he
would appoint Mr. Kennedy's successor
as soon as possible. and there was much
activity in the two political camps as
we'll as among the racing interests to
further the virtues of candidates they
advocate. f.. Clay Timanus, the third
member of the commission, has repeat
edly advocated a complete divorce from
the Jockey Club so far as licensing is
concerned, SO that upon the opinions Of
the new member the future harmony OF
the local turf is based.
Mr.. Kennedy said he had hesitated to
resign, but finally decided to do SO after
the passage Of rules and regulations for
disbursement Of race track profits
which he advocated. The rules have
brought forth much criticism from the
racing interests, who are forbidden un-
der, them to dispose Of profits without
permission from the commission. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Kennedy's successor
will be appointed tonight.
Coltilett: was the BRIGHT star OF
racing, with his three victories and a
second which might have won had the
race been free OF rough riding He
piloted General Agramonte, Misdeal and
Mary Erb in their winning efforts.
The days nominal feature was re-
lieved of much of it's spectacular interest
when Buddy Ensor, astride Lads Love.
anticipated the start and stole a two
length lead at the barrier. With that
advantage he rated his mount on the
lead, and had no difficulty maintaining
it at the end over Smart Guy, which had
always been his closest attendant
throughout.

HANDBALL TITLE GOES
TO WILLIAM SAKMAN
Brooklynite Defeats Dan Shea
for Singles Championship.

William Sakman. the Trinity Club ath-
lete from Brooklyn. yesterday afternoon
was crowned the metropolitan indoor
singles handball champion when he de-
feated Dan Shea, the fireman athlete
from the Pastime A. c., on a New York
Athletic Club court in straight games
by 21-N, H-15. The largest crowd
which has yet witnessed a handball
match in this city crowded into the
little Winged Foot gallery and saw
Sakmen annex the title. The Brooklyn
ite Is part owner of the metropolitan
doubles championship and was runner
UP In the recent national singles cham
pionship, which was contested in De-
troit.
In winning the title Saainan displaced
'Cy" Regan OF the Annunciation Club as
cha mpion. Regan was eliminated in
the third round two weeks ago. The
Brooklyn contestant proved Sheas mas
ter at all stages OF the match and at
times had the Pastimc representative
bew!ldered with the speed and change
of pace. The match was an interesting
one. with Shea fighting every second
That Sakman was returned the victor
was due only TO his experience and
Shea's carelessness. Time and again
Shea missed easy strokes, resulting in
points for Sakman.

By CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.

The discussion at Albany last Thurs
day between Gov. Miller and delega-
ton of sporting writer's has had th0
effect of clearing the atmosphere and
thus enabling the devotees of various
forms of sport to breathe easier.
1T was quite evident from Gov. Miller's
attitude that he has no intention OF
taking drastic action against any OF the
leading sports.
Racing and baseball officials will be
permitted to take care OF their business
as in the past
Boxing will not be abolished, and the
only change will be q reorganization Of
the commission.
Wrestling will be placed under cons
troll. but the question as to that branch
OF sport being handled by the Boxing
Commission is yet to be settled.
So many misleading reports have been
disseminated as to the Governors in-
tentions in regard to sport that his pres
ent attitude will be a great relief to
patrons.
There Is but one measure before the
Legislature. and that Is the Simpson,
Brundage bill. which provides for
new boxing commission and for the con-
troll Of wrestling.
II is confidently predicted that this
measure will be passed before the close
of the session, and will be signed by the
Governor.
Shortly after the election of Gov.
Miller reports were circulated to the ef-
feet that he had caused to be prepared
a bill providing for the grouping Of all
sports under one commission. During
the discussion last Thursday he denied
that he had authorized any such meas
ure.
Coincident with the announcement that
Tex Rickard will to-day tell boxing pa
irons where they will have to go on July
in order to see the Dempsey Carpenter
battle comes the news that Carpenter
has reached Madrid and will give an exc
hibition there next Monday night.
Bull throwing is the popular pastime
in gay Madrid. and 1t is to be I,pned that
Georges will not endanger himself by en-
gaglng in combat with a bovine oppo-
nent. Georges will need all his strength
when he faces Dempsey, the Colorado OK.
Dempsey. by the way. is still ianguish-
ing before the camera in the far West.
and the question as to when he will be-
gin to train for his championship match
Is an open one.
Augie Rather, who has shown COM
mendab,e aggresslveness In his recent
bouts. will have chance to show his
skill against Kid Lewis next Wednesday
night at the Manhattan $. G.
