EXPLODES IDEA THAT PARSONS,
CHILDREN COME TO BAD ENDS

THE old legend once associated
in the popular mind concern
Ing the profiigate and ne'er-dc-
we'll ends supposed to overtake
preachers sons and deacons'
daughters is now nothing more
than an exploded myth.
Figures prove this. And Bishop
Edwin Holt Hughes of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church of Chicago,
who mustered the figures. rises
vigorously to proclaim to the
world that they do.
Disturbed by the "wisecrack-
ing" that has gone on unrefuted
Tor so many years regarding the
fate said to befall clergymen's
offspring, Bishop Hughes set
about seeing how much truth, III
any, there was in the saving.
Goes to the Books
He thumbed countless histories,
looked carefully through who's
Who" and consulted many other
standard reference works in his
research just ended
What he discovered should set
the question al rest
For after leaving their fathers
rectories. preachers children as
q general rule. with exceptions
only proving its general truth. do
ANYTHING else but hit the bright
lights.
They are builders and rank
high in success. In fact. they are
so successful that to be minis
ter's son is equal almost to being
willed the key to Fortunes door
and the password to eminence.
9 Gives a Few Names
Bishop Hughes does not mean
that all preachers children be-
come rich or that all attain fame.
But he SAYS that his findings lead
him tc. believe they have better
chance to obtain such rewards
than the children of other par
ents.
He cites the following sons of
who have gone after
worldly things and gotten them
In high measure-Edward II.

Frost and Humidity

The weather bureau says that
the occurrence Of frost is deter
mined by temperature and humid
ity. If the temperature of an OBJ
ject falls below the dewpoint for

dew will gather on it If its tempera-
ture Is above the freezing point, or
frost If its temperature is below
the freezing point. However, ex-
posed objects are not likely to cool
below the dewpoint when the sky is
clouded. Hence frost seldom oc-
ours on cloudy nights, and never in
great amount.

SCOTS Best Nouel

Which is SCOTS best novel? This
question was once discussed by Sir
William Fraser and Bulwer-Lytton.
They agreed each to write his
choice on a separate slip of paper
and compare. Sir William an
nounced that he knew in advance
they would agree. They both wrote
The Bride Of Lammermoor." Mark
Twain hated the novels Of Scott.
He regarded him as one of the
worlds worst writer's. Then some
one persuaded him to read "Quen-
tin Outward" and he was so cap
tivated that he declared Scott could
not have written it.-William Lyon
Phelps in Scribner's Magazine.

explaining one day to large fresh

Prior to the Itinerary ceremonies,
Viscount Cecil presented to Mr. Gibson
a memorandum proposing a treaty to
cover the points on which provisional
agreement had been reached, but 1t
had a glacial reception.
OF course, competitive building may
follow the Geneva failure, but it
seems unlikely. The conference for
consideration of what is to follow
the termination Gn 1856 of the Wash
ington treaty will be held in 1881,
which conference, it Is important to
France and Italy. There has been a
curious silence about the very i'm
portant effects on the Geneva con-
ference of the absence therefrom of
French and Italian delegates. 1t is to
be expected that the United States,
Britain and Japan will proceed mod
erately and discreetly with naval
construction up to 1881. Not incon.
ceivably a partial or complete agree
ment concerning auxiliary combatant
naval craft, to tide over the interval
at least, will be effected by direct
exchanges between the governments;
and possibly, though most improbably,
there will be another conference be-
fore 1881.
There are few dissentients from the
view that the late lamented conference
sadly lacked Of diplomatic preparation.
Most certainly the cruiser problem is
soluble on a reasonable basis. what

American needs in respect Of types.

Lessons Are Recalled.
At the bottom of all the Geneva
controversy lies the lesson of the
World War and of the Napoleonic
struggle behind that. Sea power won
both wars and saved Britain. But in
1908 we were so weak as to be at
the mercy Of sea power which used

trol. We are striving to set up a con.

countries. Such procedure, of course,
is not needed for the casual arrival,

The lead taken by such countries as
Germany in requiring no fee at all, or
Spain, which has substantially re.
