By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 26.-Stu-
dents who include Latin in their school
curriculum show superiority over non
Latin students in other subjects. ii has
been found by the American Classical
League, which today made public the
third installment of it's report based on
an inquiry which was conducted over Il
period of several years. The margin OF
superiority of the Latin group of stu
dents included i'm the survey as whole
is about 3 per cent, the league finds.
OF this superiority, nine-tenths is due
ito something gained from the study
of Latin itself" says the report. The adj
ditional percentage of superiority is at
tributed to IA difference in natural
ability.
The study was based on records made
by 10000 students who took college en-
trance examinations before different
college yards. Andrew +. West, dean
of the graduate school OF Princeton
University and president Of the Amerl'
can. Classical League, made pubic the
report.

 I cannot tell you how terribly l felt. It seemed to me Leslie would never forgive me if by any happen stance her baby would be boy and she would feel that my child by an- other woman bore his fathers name and all the honor that would come to an eldest son.
 Some of the Constcrnation I felt must have shown in my face, for with trembling lips she asked: "Oh, Jack, aren't you gIad?'
 I looked at her in surprise, then realized what a big woman she vas. don't hclieYo she had even thought Of little Jack as anything but her own, own son, For just at that mo- mont the baby came nearer the door, we heard his little Wobbly steps and his fearful voice saying: T want my Muvycr, l want my Muvycr."

going to go back to Rejst in the Lado Enclave and try to get a group og giant eland.
 This was to be the first and last hunt on a huge scale that father and son would undertake together with out the assistance of an old-timer to handle their porters for them. Ker- init had learned quite lot of Kis- wahili ard was going to act as guide, hunter. photographer, man. ager and generally undertake all of Cunninghame's and Heller's duties.
 Next morning all the loads were taken down to the "Dal,' and after lunch the steamer headed up stream for Rejaf.
 The following day, Cunninghame returned on the Dal, having seen that Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit had got away safely from Rejaf. He was now free to devote himself to the packing of the trophies and to the arrangements for the paying off of the porters and their return to Kampala. The naturalists had been taking a well-earned rest, and had not as yet got seriously to work on their specimens.
 It took Cunnipghame six whole days, working many hours day and with my help, to arrange satisfac- torily for the breaking up of that small army of porters. There were 400 porters, the mules, the personal servants, cooks, skinners and so on to pay off and eed for their long journey back to Kampala and even Nairobi. In the intervals of this work, Cunninghame and were selling off all the stores and tents that were no longer required.

Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit, to- gether with their small safari, re. turned to Gondokoro on the after noon of February 26.
 CHAPTER xxx.
 Into the Sudan From Gondokoro
 Shortly after Colonel Roosevelts arrival in Gondokoro from Rejaf, he was called upon to say goodby to his large following of native serv- ants and porters.
 They left the same day for Karn- pala and Nairobi to return to their homes. AS they started forth from Gopdokoro, they cheered themselves hoarse and sang songs in praise of l the Bwana Mkubwa, Kingi va Amerik (The big chief, the king of America).
 That night Colonel Roosevelt asked Haddon and myself to dine on board the "Dal," Kermit had got the ships cook to remove his beard and cut his hair, and he appeared at dinner looking unusually spick and span. Colonel Roosevelt was in fine form. and told us about his hunt after the giant eland. He spoke most warmly of Kermit, and of his 1 excellent management of the "safari' and his wonderful powers of endurance in tracking.
 Kermit runs in the mid day heat" he asserted proudly, after his quarry when trailing them down, and never seems to tire. Once he is on the track of beast he wants, he will not let it alone until he has killed it."
 Consider what the two Roosevelts had achieved. Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit had shot close on 500 large mammals between them, in- Cluding giant eands. 2 hongo, II white Thino, 1 sitatunga, l7 lions, Il elephants, 10 buffalo. 1o ordinary rhino. hippos, giraffe. sable an telopos. 3 leopard, ' cheetah and a great number of antelope and ga zcle, and other animals too numer- Ous to count.
 Kermit. as think I have already stated, was boy in thousand. He took to the life Of a hunter as if he had been born one, He was 6 most likeabIe companion, and ever ready for playful joke or some daring feat. Few boys, receiving such attention and such feteing, could have come through the ordeal l hut l.
 He was just the same happy go- lucky Kermit al the end of the long expedition as the one who had gone 10 Africa a year previously, but he had filled ont and had more purpose in life. I cannot bestow higher praise on him than to say he was always just as modest and silent about his own great achievements in the field as he was expert in hunt , ing; and that is saying very great deal.
 On February 2S, the "Dal" started off down stream for the Sudan, il having been arranged that the Roosevclts should do little shoot. : ing in the Sudan and then reach - Khartoum on March IS. At Khar' toum Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethe , Roosevelt tMrs, Dcrby) were tc meet them.
 . The entire population of Condo V koro. or rather those wAo were no to i'll to do so. rowded to the bank , Of the Nile 10 wish him bon voyage = As the "Dal" drew away into mid stream and slowly turned it's boy '' toward the country Of the Sudan,

 You know he learned to walk after Leslie left for her fathers house. and Nora was so anxious to show him off that she placed him on the floor. He was so eager to reach his mother that his little legs doubled lip and he fell s1rawling. You could hear his yell a block.
 Leslie and I both made dive to pick him up. and our heads bumped together with such crack that she was almost knocked off her feet, and the kid cried harder than ever. For a moment I, too, was stunned, but at an exclamation from Mrs. Hamil- ton. found blood running down my face. Some Of it must have gotten into my eyes, for l really thought 1 was blinded.

The Kindly Plan Dicky Disclosed

 l think the astonishment l regis tered at Dicky's announcement, sat ished even his love of the dramatic.
 Mother going to North Carolina with Leila and Edith" l repeated slowly.
 Well, why not" he quorIed, patently enjoying the effect of the tiny handgrenado he had thrown.
 Why there isn't really any reason" I returned, except that l shouldn't think Leila would want anybody but her very own women kin around at this particular time.
 "Oh Leila won't mind Mother,' Dicky said comfortably. She isn't Lelas mother-in-law, you know, " he added with an insight that ] found a bit discorccrting, and therefore she'll not start to run the whole party as she would do with you or as Mrs. Durkee would with Leila. Mother will simply be q com- panion for Aunt Dora Paige during the exciting event and you know how much they like each othcr,"
 "Does Mother Know"
 I nodded asSentingly for Dicky and I often had smiled over the odd and strong friendship which had grown steadily between the two eld- erly women ever since their first meeting at the time of Leila's wed- ding to Alfred. Aunt Dora, an un- reconstructed daughter of the old regime in the south, and Mother Graham, an equally sturdy repre- sentative of the north, smothcred their preiudices, heroically refrained from any expression which might wound or displease the other, and enjoyed each others companionship immensely.
 Does Mother know she's going ~ I asked demureiy,
 Dicky grinned.
 Not yet, but soon," he iutoncd "Alf and I fixed it all up between us when I saw him yesterday, and Leilas going to call Mother up to- day and give the formal invitation I meant 10 have told you about il before, but l forgot it. I'm sur prised she hasn't teIephoned be- fore, but we'll probably get ring any minute now.'
 l looked at him wonderingly, and decided that he really had no idea Of the absurdity of his arrangement with Alfred. Luckily, both Auni Dora Paige and Edith Fairfax pos sess common sense IS well as a sense of humor, and Leila is < much in love with her husband thd' almost everything he says is gospe to her.
