The examination of children under 14 years of age who desire to work tinder the provisions of the new child labor law of the District of Columbia, seems to show that city girls are heal thier than city boys. Since June to, 1700 children have been examined and the Inspectors have had to reject 75" boys for physical disability, and only two girls, Though the number of applicants for permits Includes more boys than girls, the percentage of re rejections In the case of the boys has occasioned surprise. They are for the m-tat part fi'Und to be suffering from heart and lung troubles. It would be Interesting to know how many of them art cigarette smokers or have t!hr pernicious habits. New Tork Chrli-Un Advocat. Tork State Fruit Mon. Ithaca. N. T., Aug. 19. Members of the New Tork State Fruit Grow era' association assembled today the auditorium of the College of Agrl culture.

Anotlwr Ocean Record. New Tork, Aug. 1. Making 25 knots an hour from Liverpool, this trip, beating Ita previous record, the Lusltanla ! today tha fastest ship In tha world. Wireless dispatches from the ship say tfr has steamed 1202 miles up to r.oon. Many Prlnevllle peopto In the mountains camplrg have been utl! li ed as flrv !lfchtr by the rangers. They draw wag f0. th work, but .hey didr't t-. t .nirt irg for J. u, .. .;. -.... j. In all probability there will be con tinued discussion over existing laws covering length of time required by the statutes to advertise a special city election. The new charter ordinances will be given Its third and final read ing tonight at an adjourned meeting of the council and as it will undoubt-J edly pass, the question of date for the city election will Immediately come up. . The supreme court established a precedent In the Portland case recent ly, which shows that 10 days are all that are required to advertise a spe cial city eelctlon. But the question arises, If these 10 days are to be con sidered only after the ordinance call wi' hoeome operative. Unless an emergency Is declared, It will take 30 days before the charter ordinance is operative, hence 40 days before the special election. The city attorney Is now Juggling the question In all its phases and will likely be ready to re port definitely at tonight's meeting on the legal phases of the question. If plnns which the council has been working on of late, are carried out. the special election will be held with in a very short time. The matter of selecting Judges and clerks of election Will also come up tonight If the char ter passes. WHO WILL Did DIK! WATCH Mi NAM M Mm It la reported that a certain soft drink emporium near Mlnam will be carefully watched In the near future with a view of stopping the sale of In toxicating liquors. It may be the brain twister Is procured from some other source, but it is evident that Its true1 source will be ferreted out. Because one cook got on a protratced spree re cently, one of the railroad contractors lost 30 of his men. He does not pro pose that It happen again. Charles Vuiplllat has locked horns with the city offiicals, and to all ap pearances he will come out a victor In the conflict, The action was caused by the sfeet superintendent order Mr. Vurplllat to construct a sewer ditch beneath the sidewalk which he is about to build In fornt of his resi dence, corner First and Main. Resi dents on that street will remember that the spring freshets . Invariably form a torrent under the sidewalk on First street, and since the washouts last spring, the section of the ditch in front of the Vurplllat and Damon res idences has been filled with earth. Mr. Vurplllat Is about to construct a sidewalk, along with other Improve ment iu I,'.: nnd Immediately encountered an order from the ' city officials to build the ditch before he constructed the sidewalk. After tak ing legal advice he refused to obey the. orders, and to all appearances' his stand will be successful. While the city officials have not said so, it Is Intimated that they will build the ditch themselves.
