SAYS CRANE GIRL

Markham, Dean Of Poets, Dis
 puteS Authorship of Book

New York, Nov 14 (AP)--Doubts about the authorship of information ally famous poems credited to F year old Nathalia Crane of Brook lyn are now raised by Edwin Mark ham, honorary president of the Poetry Society of America and win ner of last years s2o0 Poetry Re view prize.
 Over his signature in the Brook yn Eagle Mir. Markham wrote yes ter,lav.
 nquestionably the whole thing in a general hoax fabricated, per haps, hy four young men and two young women while lingering over the wine and walnuts-all of them distinguished poets, with dexterous pens, and all determined to break the monotony of the hour with this delectable deception.
 Later MT. Markham in a state. ment 10 the New York World quail lied his views by saying:
 And yet it is entirely possible that Nathalia Crane has written these poems with her own mind am pen. In that case she Is the mos, extraordinary girl in America and wish her high good fortune on the path of the poetic life"
 Some doubters have bee ntryinE 10 locate William Rose Benet. who wrote the introduction to the first book but he could not be found to throw any light on the subject.
 Clarence r. Crane, Nathalda's father. said MT. Markham, an old man and dean of poets in the United States, has made an unprovoked at tack upon my daughter, treating her work as a jest and subiecting her 10 the whim of his opinion.
 If this is the way great poets are supposed 10 act and if this is the courtesy Of the craft. then l must conclude that the whole brood arc a pretty poor lot.
 Mir. Markham owes my daughter an apology"

Youth Asks Fathers to Become 'es ChQInS for Sons

The third annual Father and Son banquet under the auspices of the Mems cluL was held last evening at the Stanley Memorial church, Tho church dining rooms were taxed To their utmost capacity with the loo men and boys. At o'clock they took their places at the tables and blessing was asked by Rev. R. x. Gilman.
 George V. Hamlln, chairman Of the Mems club, acted as Postmaster and extended the welcome of the Mems club particularly to the boys. On behalf of the boys, Edward Tim brell responded thanking the Mems club for Its interest and pointing out that if the fathers really wanted their boys to be more like what they used 10 be or "chips off the old block" as some express 1t. they ought to spend more time with their boys so that the younger generation might have some means of knowing the sort of people their fathers are. He said that he was sure that the boys would welcome a closer association with their fathers if 1t could be brought about.
 Walter o. Cook, Scout executive Of New Britain, gave a short talk on scouting. He explained to the as- semblage the relation of scout ac- tivities to the church regardless of the denomination of the particular church to which the scout troop is attached, stating that in New Britain 9S per cent of the scout troops were attached to some church.
 The main speaker of the evening was Rev. Truman H. Woodward of the Federated church at Mapping. His theme was "Kindling Dead Stars" He explained that this was taken from Emerson's advice 10 young men "to hitch their wagons to star" Mir. Woodward told how most normay young men start out with fairly high ideals which through the years often become lowered until in mature life through stress Of circumstance and conditions unfavorabe to reaching those ideals they find that these

QUESTION NEED OF
 FUEL CONSERVATOR
Citizens Coal Co. Sees No Benefit
 Through Appointment

In an open letter addressed to the governors advisory fuel committee. the Citizens Coal Co.,, of this city. expresses a belief that therc is no need for fuel administrator here and that there is sufficient fuel in this city to avert a crisis through the winter months.
 Discussing the proposed appoint ment, the letter has the following Comment:-
 "We have no objection to the ap- pointment of q fuel administrator if it is deemed advisable by the governor but we can see no reason why an appointment should be made at the present time because no one can help the anthracite situation ox- cept the miners and the operate tors. It IS doubtful iu our minds if q fuel administrator could make any more strenuous endcavors to obtain substitutes than the local dealers are making every day"
 At| pSi'"N llSIl plIC'S lNl dHt lllh- cite have little bearing on the sit uation, in the opinion of the com pany, the following paragraph from the letter indicatcs:-
 with reference 10 statements in our local papers 10 the effect that dealers in New Britain are selling anthracite coal at $20.00 per ton, we feel that such instances are so few that the anthracite supply in the city is now practically exhaust ed, that this feature has no bearing on the general fuel situation and will right itself automatically"
 It is also suggested that the gov crnor's committee communicate with other local dealers to dctor- mino their ability to provide for the city's needs fer a period of months.

TOURISTSLIKE
SOUTH GEORGIA
Many Express Surprise at the Ma
ture of the Country-Especial-
ly Like the Pine Trees

BROWNSVILLE, Ga, Oct. - -
Many of the tourists passing through
here express surprise at the nature
of the country in this part of South
west Georgia. Instead of finding a
flat, sandy country as they had ex-
pected they have found it generally
rolling and in some places quite high
hills of red clay. The scenery they
have found varied and with a growth
of many kinds. They especially ad-
mire the tall pines, of which there
are still many left growing around
Townsville.
The Northern Winter residents
here never allow the pine trees on
their estates to be cut and conse-
quently there are probably more of
these splendid trees to be seen here
than almost anywhere else in this
section. The Whitney, Wade and
other estate near which some of the
highways pass, are especially noted
for the beauty of the pine forests on
them.

petent. Let US be generous and
accept the denials rather than the

illustrates a condition on the sea

These negroes were not hired be-
cause they were particularly good

Comanche loved the negro race.
They were hired because they were

The much-derided La Toilette law
is the only protection against the
consequences of this situation, and
it is an inadequate one. And yet, at
any moment, the safety of thousands
of valuable lives may depend on the
intelligence, courage, skill and
character of crews selected for none
of these qualities.
The cost of labor is the smallest
element in the operation of a ship,
but it is the one which arouses the
most excitement. If the price of
coal goes up, that is unfortunate,
but understandable. If the price of
labor goes up, that is ian outrage"
1t arouses real moral indignation,
and holy zeal to fight it to the ut
termost. The result is lower and
lower standard of competence in
crews. For passenger boats, at
least, better class of men should be
imperative.

California has one of the most
expensive schools systems in the
union.
And yet even that tremendous
cost is much less than what the
people of the state pay for tobac-
CO. The cost, last year, was for
tobacco $66,932,722, and for
schools $75,576,031. That was
81 .62 per capita for tobacco,
and only $3.50 for schools. For
all Injuries combined, the people
spent over a hundred dollars
apiece.
Eighteen dollars for schools is
a lot. But it is not enough for
tobacco, scarcely enough for
chewing gum, and nowhere near
enough for moving pictures, to
say nothing of automobiles OF

Add the chewing gum bills OF
the nation to the present cost of
schools and it would mean a good
