CAMDEN, N. 1.-THE body of a
baby with the appearance of the IA
bled mermaid from the hips down is
in a local undertaking establishment
where physicians and medical experts
have viewed it with great curiosity.
Large sums of money have been OF
fered by professors OF Jefferson Med
ical college, Philadelphia, and the Uni,
iversity of Pennsylvania Medical
school who wish to acquire the little
nymph-like infant for study and ana
tomical purposes.
The head of the child is normal and
perfectly proportional and so are the
hands and arms. Outwardly the up
per body is not unusual, but x-ray
photographs taken at the Cooper hos
pital revealed the infant had no spine
and no ribs or hip bone
Physicians who examined the. body
said there was 10 evidence OF sex.

Being Implicated in II Killings.

Suspected of being the AK murderer
who took toll of II lives in 20 at
tacks, Sam Lucia is in Jail at Birm-
ingham, Ala, where the killings oc-
Cured, Lucia's past life is under close
examination to determine his connec-
ton, if any, with the killings, which
were directed mostly against Italian
owners of small stores.
The theory lof blackmail and re-
venge has been advanced for the II
killings, and Lucia, police say, has a
record in New Orleans, La, as a
criminal. Lucia also is suspected OF
being a member of national gang
of kidnappers, authorities declared.
Lucia however, says that he has
been in the United States only two
years and that he cannot speak Eng
lish. He says that the Lucia who has
a police record in New Orleans is an

QUICK four wheel brakes reduce
to a minimum the skidding danger
every driver encounters on wet pave

The, action of the simple yet positive

was long heart-breaking task, Whlch
1 had to struggle through alone over
coming habits which might easily
have been kept from becoming habits
if 1 had been guided wisely in my
childhood"
Many parents seem to overlook or
underestimate the importance OF the
first appearance of undesirable tend
encies in their children which can be
overcome, if properly treated while
children are still young.

RURAL CARRIER EXAMINATION

The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an exami-
nation to be held at Lewes, Del, on
April 18th, 1923, to fill the position OF
rural carrier at Milton and vacancies
that may later occur on rural routes
from that post Office. The salary of
rural carrier on a standard daily Wag7
on route of "a miles is $1,000 per an
mum. with an additional $50 per mile
Der annum for each mile or major
fraction thereof in excess of "a miles.
The salary on motor routes range
from $2,45O to $4,000 per annum, ac-
cording to length.
Both men and women, if qualified,
may enter this examination, but ap-
pointing officers have the legal right
to specify the sex desired in request
ing certification of eligibles. Women
will not be considered for rural car
rier appointment unless they are the
widows of U. S. soldiers, sailors, or
marines, or the wives of U. S. soldiers,
sailors, or marines who are physical
ly disqualified for examination by rea-
son of injuries received in the line OF
military duty. Form 1877 and appli-
cation blanks may be obtained from
the offices mentioned above or from
the United States Civil Service Com
mission at Washington D. G. Applica-
tions should be forwarded to the Com
mission at Washington, D. c., at the
earliest practicable date.

effort to help himself in putting on
his wraps, who sticks out his feet for
someone to put on his rubbers, is en-
couraged to try and do these things
for himself, not only by the teachers
but most of all by the sight OF the
more independent children delightedly
accomplishing the task of slipping on
rubbers, putting on coats and strug-
Cling successfully with slippery but
tons.
But perhaps the games help most to
develop unselfishness. Early in life one
needs to learn to share-to be good
loser-to relinquish smilingly to
someone else, and for five days week
kindergarten offers a splendid oppor-
tunity.
I ma large group of children, where
each has equal rights, the selfish child
comes to see the need of respecting
those rights, which he does by walt
ing his turn and sharing with others.
And so the pictures, songs, stories,
games and handwOrk open up to MN
the world about him and lead him
from selfshness, out of himself, to I'M
selfishness.
The cost of properly training our
future citizens is much less than the
loss which results from ignorance and
crime, the products of neglect. me
unreasonable years of early child
hood are of especial value to every
child. Our United States Commis-
sioner of Education recently said, Il
strongly urge the parents of little chill
dren residing in communities in which
there are no kindergartens to request
their School Boards to establlsh
them" If your school has no kinder
garten, write for information to the

Women of West Expected to Present Some Unique
levels to Mrs. Harding During her

II is a happy coincidence which
places two former friends and asso-
ciates in the profession OF journalism
as the official hosts who will welcome
the President Of the United States
into British Columbia and Alaska.
The governor general of the province
of British Columbia is at present in
England, and il remains uncertain
whether Lord Byng of Vilmy will
make the trip from his camp beyond
Banff for the brief period of the
presidential visit. So that the honors
of the welcome will devolve on Mr.:
Wilfrid {. Nichol, the lieutenant gov
ernor. who is. incidentally, the long
time proprietor and publisher of the
Vancouver Daily frovince. Mir
Nichols, like all enterprising news
paper publishers of the Dominion, has
made many trips to the United States.
and about twelve years ago he visited
Marion and met the genial publisher
of its Daily Star. In Alaska, Gov.
Scott &. Bone, 50 many years in
Washing ton. will be the host of the
President and engineer his tour. AS
the President loves of all things to
east aside the mantle of state and
get into the old familiar togs of
newspaperdom, he Will snatch some
part even of his short visit to British
Columbia to talk shop with the lcu-
tenant governor OF British Column Il.
while the Alaskan trip will offer
many chances 10 travel Ddck Iue
years with Gov. Bone. No less than
5000 American born residents of VAN
couver will gather to shout for the
President OF their former country,
and a large number have been in
cluded in the general reception at
the state house.
Before Mrs. Harding returns to the
White House she will. if the precedent
set by the women OF Utah is followed
possess some interesting pieces Of
jewelry, made from various gems and
metals local to the states through
which the presidential party will
pass. California. FOR instance, and
especially Los Angeles, where the

this before she departs from that sec
