Berlin, June 19 - Charles F. Hughes book. The Essentials of Democracy deserves the highest praise of all those interested in a
 better understanding between the United States and Germany after the unhappy period of misreprese entatiOns about the aims and views of both countries on both sides" comments the German Nationalist paper. .EDie Zait," in a long editorial on the pub lication of the American statesman's lectures held before American stu- dents and edited by the former Ann bassador here. David J. Hill.
 Any American wanting to tell the German nation something about the dem ocracy of his own country runs the risk of being widely distrusted by the German reader after the unpleas- ant experience the German people had had with Wilson, who, through the medium of his fourteen points, prom ised to deliver the world and lead it to true freedom, but who. as a matter of fact, brought the most deplorable slavery to one of the most fiourishing nations of the old Continent'' says the editorial. But here in Hughes we find and admire a man. a real per sonality of special structure-a man who not blindfoldedIy fights for the political ideals of his own country Just because he happens to be the of his nation, but a man who deduced his theories from downright eXperiencee.
 Ut is a pleasure to observe that he does not boast of being a prophet of a new democratic ideal form of state which could easily be realized, but one who admits that the paths lead- | ing to real democracy are very 1 thOrny ones.

 Paodngfu, China, June 1e.- Thousands of Chinese women and girls who live in constant fear of to buy their daily food by making the hair nets which gratify the wh3m and fancy of Milady in America.
 Golden, raven. henna hair nets are anything but duxuuies or fads of but terfly fappers in China. Over here they stand for food and even shelter, and if tho pretty American society girl could see the little Chinese girls who are making the nets she is wear ing her heard would reach out in sym pathy to them,
 According to statistics China ex- ported ha1r nets amounting to ten million dollars last year These nets were made by thousands of women in their homes in the villages and cities. principally of Northern China.
 Hair is very cheap in China. One dollar will buy enought hair to keep fifty girls at work making hair nets for a month. At Anping, a village fifty miles south of Paot.ngfu, hair is one of the features of market day, which is held in the city temple every five days,
 Rarbers-who add a mice bit to their incomes by saving all combings of custon1ers-se1 the raw hadr. In and out the great throng of people to the fair. they wind their way call ing. Strong, long hair-sold cheap today"
 Hair Is Distributed.
 Perhaps a representative of a hair net company will buy all they offer This hair is distributed to the women who are working under contract for him. Often one man will have Q ter ritory covering several villages.
 The hair nets are not made in the ia actOr-es but in the home, although the repairing and going over of the nets before shipping is usually done in factories.
 cotton short coats ad trousers, are seen sitting on the doorsteps work ing away, making nets, In tiny dark rooms where the family eats, sleeps and worships wr1nkled, bent grand mothers with bound feet are occu- pied making nets In the sunny Courtyard of a large Chinese home making nets sit around tables rapid 1 iy tying the knots, while babt tes | clutch at their trousers-or sit in | their laps
 The women receive two cents a l net and are able to make about ten | nets a day if the worker is fast.
 A few years go China sent all her tleached or dyed, but many hair net | companies have opened their own | bleaching and dyeing works, with | very satisfa ctory results.
 During the famine last year thou | sands of women and girls were kept 1 from starving to death or being sold | into slavery by making hair nets. | The Red Cross representatives, mis- sionaries and other famine relief l workers opened many hair net mak- ing centers as famine relief |

taking of the photograph in London last summer, prior to the death of the young girls mother last autumn, has been most Interestingly retold in a scientific arti- cle published by Dr. Cushman in the American Journal of Psychical Research and more recently issued by him pri- vately in pamphlet form, and entitled An Evidential Case of Spirit Photography.
 Dr. Cushman, who IS one of the lead ing American authorities in chemistry, has now taken his place among the most active investigators of psychical phe- nomena. This week at his home in Washington, D. C., Miss Eva Bessinet of Toledo, Ohio, the "materializing'' me- dium who last Saturday night at a se- ance given for Sir Arthur. caused the spirits of Sir Ernest Shackleton, as well as the son and parents of Sir Arthur and Lady Conan Doyle to appear, is giv- ing under Dr. Cushman's direction, a series of most successful sittings.
 In order that every step of the cir cumstances surrounding the taking of the spirit photograph of his daughter might be made clear, Dr. Cushman has given the story of the taking of the pie ture in every detail in his published pamphlet.

The selectmen have found difficulty in termining just how and where at the town hall property to build these stations and have them as they should be. One plan is to build a little addition at the south erly side, near the eastern end of the town hall building. This would partly close the south drive around the build ing, but this drive is little used and this after all might rot be great inconven- fence as measured against the public ben eft to be derived through the comfort stations

Charged with having attempted to pro- cure an abortion, Eric Welcher, 29, was being held at the police station Friday, while his wife, Mrs. Ora Welcher, was lowering between life and death at her home at Connecticut Mills Village.
 Welcher was taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Charles B. Aver, upon di- rection of Coroner Arthur c. Bill. Mrs. Welcher has been desperately ill and patient at the Day Kimball hospital for nearly two weeks past, but her life being despaired of, she has been brought back to her home. Friday afternoon her con dition was regarded as extremely critical, with practically no hope for her recovery.
 Coroner Bill has been in touch with the case almost since the time that Mrs, Welcher became seriously i'll and was removed to the hospital He has had different interviews with the young wo- man, who is 24, and 1t was upon infor nation that she has given that Coroner Bill has caused the arrest of her hus- band.
 Thursday night Coroner Bill obtained from Mrs Welcher information that is regarded as her ante-mortem statement and following the obtaining of this Vel rher who is a mill operative, was taken Into custody and during Friday was be- ng held without bail A hearing will be given him in the town court this (Satur- day) morning, MT. Bill said Friday aft ernoon and the amount of his bail will be fixed. If he is not able to furnish it he will be transferred to Brooklyn jail In case of Mrs Welcher's death the charge pending against him will be changed to 6 far more serious one murder in the first degree, for, it was pointed out Friday by Coroner Bill, that my death caused by the use of a poison constitutes murder in the first degree, if the poison can be shown to have been administered with criminal intent
 It appears from Mrs Welcher's state ments to Coroner Bill that the use of bi- chloride of mercury tablets unwittingly and wrongly used by her at her husband s suggestion are responsible for her being at deaths door. The Welchers have one child.
