 The champion boys and girls who will be entitled to the trip are being chosen by state agricultural colleges and will come largely from the rural districts where they were graded on excellence in work dono in the ac- tivities of the dairy calf clubs, pig clubs, home-making, garden, poultry, sewing and other clubs. The Chi cago, Rock Island and Pacific rail road offered q contribution equal to the cost of one round-trip from the champions home town to Chicago for those chosen in the states through which the road passes
 More than 600,000 boys and girls participated in the contests held last year, who, according to announce ment by stock show officials, pro- duced stock and farm crops valued at SS,650,000. Enrolment in the clubs this year will exceed TOO 900, ac- cording to compilations made by ex- tension department heads at the state institutions. The work is be- ing encouraged by the United States department of agriculture and is i considered one of the important phases of agricultural development now under way.
 The visiting youth will be given series of entertainments and will visit points of interest in the city. Among the features will be lunch con given by the Chicago board of trade. Secretary Wallace and the president of the American Bankers association will make addresses.

O O Q Health Will Aid Recovery.

Doctors gave Maas an excellent chance for recovery; he is a stalwart man in good health, who spends much of his time outdoors. During the winter he lives at the Hotel Asonia, in New York, and in summer main tains a villa at Asbury Park, N. J.
 Mrs. Leslie indicated that she and Maas are engaged and are soon 10 be married. He is vice president # the Maas & Waldstein Co.
 Officials of Stamford and Green wich are perplexed by the wide dis crepancy in the two stories, but Mrs. Leslie Is III from the excitement and Maas is not to be questioned for a time, at the urgent order of phy- sicians.
 No attempt was made to rob Mrs. Leslie, although she wore several thousand dollars worth of gems.
 Police are trying to reconstruct the incident along the theory that Maas and Mrs. Leslie some how interrupted a gang of bootleggers who had landed a consignment of rum on the Leslie property and were carrying it across to the New York road.

WILL REVISE SCHOOL HISTORIES
 HEIDELBERG, Oct. 6.--(By Asso-

ciated Press. .)-Germany is to have modern history based upon develop ments from the time of the French revolution to the outbreak of the World war. Criticisms from demo- cratic sources that present day in- struction in history was still subject to the old ideas of militarism, brought about the decision of the government to publish book more properly suited to teachers and instructors and school classes in the new reupblic of today. A prize for the accepted work has been offered by the minister of the interior, and Germany's best known professors of history have been appointed as judges.

HUNTING SE AS | N OPEN AT EXCLUSIVE
 RESORT IN ISLAND.
Millionaire And Woman Are Wounded By BootIeggers
 It Is Believed
By HARLAN $. MILLER


 SOUND BEACH, CONN, Oct. 13.-- The fashionable hunting season Is on, and millionaries are fair game along Long Island sound.
 On an ultra exclusive strip of real estate near Stamford, Milton A. Maas, millionaire manufacturer of bullet wounds across his chest after dinner with one of the loveliest widows of Connectlcut's gold coast.
 But unlike the unadorned tales of MT. Rowland, there were two diverg ing accounts of the shooting Fri day
 According to Mrs. Ida NJ. Leslie. the widow, whose estate fronts on the beach, the shooting came after dinner
 If the memory of Maas is more to be relied upon, it all happened be- fore he had dined.
 Like one of those psychology class tests when man rushes through the class room brandishing meerschaum pipe and the scholars record 49 diY- tinct impressions of the color of his necktie, there is little in common be- tween the two stories
 We had just finished dinner, MT. Maas and l, relates Mrs. Leslie, my two little poms began to bark for their regular evening stroll along the beach.
 MT, Maas didn't care to come. 80 l led them out on the porch, leav- ing him in the living room. It was about 7:30 o'clock.
 How Shooting Began.
 T had just stepped on the porch when two men jumped from the bushes alongside and seized me. frirr their arms, and screamed as loudly as l could, though they tried to clap their hands over my mouth.
 'In an instant MT. Maas came rush ing from the house. He had scarcely emerged from the door when third and fired twice. MT. Maas fell to the floor.
 Both men had been nervous and fumbling in their attack on me, and the man who did the shooting could scarcely aim, it seemed to me, bis hand shook so.
 ''Neighbors came running, and called the police, and took MT. Maas to the hospital. One bullet had gone through his abdomen and another lodged in his shoulder"
 Actually, Maas is not so seriously injured as Mrs. Leslie believes, as one of the bullets only crossed his wound, while the other penetrated his shoulder, more painfully than dangerously. Neither does his account of the excitement give him credit for the heroic dash to the widows res cue.
 T was in the hallway, had just reached Mrs. Leslie's home" said Maas at the hospital. T was to have dinner with her, after a visit to my brother-in-law, who is a broker, where I combined business with q social call.
 T was taking off my coat when l heard Mrs. Leslie scream, Two men ran into the entry way from the living room. They seemed stunned <. seeing me there. One of them opened fire. I dropped at the first shot. After that all was blank till l found myself on the way to the hos pital."
