WORLD mLfcj fW" fWW IMJW J. III.) Ill IIPH.H ai. -- - . " r Xr ' ; .' i4 J NEW TORK, Aug. 9. (Special.) Hot weather ha.8 driven thousands to the Atlantic resorts. Bailey's Beach is one of the exclusive spots for the rich. Newport Beach is popular and great crowds are seen daily promenading: on the boardwalk and en Joying the pleasures of sand and surf. Canoe tilting contests form one of the diversions at Larchmont Manor, N. Y. The sport proves great fun for persons who can swim. C. S. Pietro has done an excellent bust of the late J. P. Morgan for the Italian town of Ascoll Piceno, to which Mr. Morgan returned a stolen cope of great antiquity and value which he had bought as a collector after it had passed through various hands. So pleased was the Morgan family with the bust that it commissioned Mr. Pietro to do two replicas which will be . placed, one in Mr. Morgan's office and the other in the Morgan library. Those who think Newport "cottages" put on a great deal of style may be interested in seeing what the mother of August Belmont did in the way of dis play. An open carriage, drawn by four horses with postilions, very like the carriages used by royalty on state oc casions, was the outfit with which Mrs. PARENTS' EDUCATIONAL BUREAU IS DEFENDED Work of New Institution la Not Overlapping Field of Other Organizations of Similar Nature Already Established, Says Officer. BY BERTHA TAYLOR VOORHOST. THE law of supply and demand ap plies alike to material and men tal needs; where the demand be comes insistent a supply of some sort is usually created. The source and na ture of the supply is frequently ques tioned and criticised, even though the need is self-evident, for there are al ways a few who fall to see the good in the very best of movements. The need of practical education and the disseminating among parents that most necessary of all knowledge, how to prepare for, bear and rear their offspring, has been duly recognized, and for some three months past the Parents' Educational Bureau. 551 Courthouse, has been meeting the de mand with supplies of literature, dem onstrations by practical nurses, scien tific examination of babies by physi cians who specialize in children's dis eases, free consultations, talks to mothers and exhibits of complete equipment for the nursery, including model wardrobes, simple and practical. "But why," it has been asked, "should the Parents' Educational Bureau be given valuable space in the County Courthouse?" "Why should the Mothers' Congress conduct this bu reau?" "Is it not overlapping the work of the Juvenile Court, the Social Hygiene Society, the Eugenic Associa tion, the Health Board, the People's Institute and various other established organizations?" For the enlightenment of the few who seemingly desire to be shown "why." It may be well to give a brief sketch of the apparent need which suggested the establishment of the bureau. Eugenics Department Popular. In co-operation with the eugenics department of the State Fair at Salem last year, the Oregon Congress of Mothers installed an exhibit and a ma ternity section, which so appealed to parents from all parts of the state that a special request was made by O. M. Plummer. of the Union Stock yards, well known as the "father of eugenics in Oregon," and by others who had been impressed by the eager demand of the throngs who visited EVENTS ARE BROUGHT NEARER BY THE CAMERA Great Crowds May Be Seen Daily Promenading on the Boardwalk Italian Sculptor Has Done Excellent Bust of the Late J. P. Morgan. Belmont dazzled the eyes of the New porters of another generation when she went for a drive. The' battleship "Iouisiana" is the warsh'p on which Ambassador Wilson came from Mexico for his consuKation with the President. She is of 16,000 tons displacement and was built in 1903. The Count and Countess Lonyay are now in Brussels in connection with the claim of the Countess Ionyay who was Princess Stephanie, daughter of the late King Leopold, of Belgium, and the Princess Louise, another daughter, for the entire Congo property left by their father, valued at $14,000,000. The Prin cesses have decided to appeal to the Court of Cassation against the judg ment of the Court of Appeals, which dismissed, on April 2, their claim to this property. The Princess Stephania was first married to Archduke Rudolf, the only son of the Emperor of Austria, whose death has always been a mystery. She married Count Lonyay 1n 1900. The Count's full name and title is Eleraer, Count of Lonyay de Nagy Lonya. Of special interest to the people of this country is the present Mexican situation. Activity in the Juares dis trict witnesses many Mexican troops on the United 'States border. the eugenics section for literature and advice, that a permanent bureau be established. The requests became so Insistent that grave consideration was given to possible ways and means to carry out the proposed plan. A considerable sum was raised by the sale of small silk flags by members of the Mothers' Congress and Parent Teacher associations, which sum was augmented by individual subscriptions and voluntary district contributions. Application was first made for space in the City Hall, but space there was .t a premium, besides It was felt that :he work would eventually become slate-wide, and it seemed more lilting that the county should provide head quarters for the present. This makes possible co-operation with the Juve nile Court and with the District Attor ney, the latter having expressed a very positive opinion that much of the de linquency of the youth of today might be directly attributed to the laxity of parents. Both he and Judge Gatens have paid high tribute to the bureau, as has also Judge Cleeton and Judge Morrow and many of the County Court officials. Criticisms Are Answered. To review the work that has been accomplished by the bureau during its short existence would be well nigh im possible, first because much of it is of a very confidential nature, but further because of the volume and variety of detail involved. Those really Inter ested have conie and have gone away amazed, those critical have stayed away, so far, but they are urged to come and ascertain first-hand whether the bureau is really overlapping any of the various other methods for the uplifting of humanity, and even so. can we have too many such methods? True, there should be some system by which all these things can be accomplished wisely ana economically, but has any one tn public or private life set about devising a system for conducting movement until the germ takes life and growth begins? Are not all educa tional movements conceived and fos tered by private means and personal eriortT Take, for Instance, the school garden work in Portland and sro hnv that 'lilt: SU.UAI UKEliUfllAJJI, X'UKIlJVIH JJ, AUCiTJST 10, I " V M -.v.

All these things were initiated and supported privately before the public were con vinced that they were a necessity; but it is conceded now that they are a ne cessisty, and so, too. Is the Parents' Educational Bureau a necessity. Ask the mothers who have brought in their ailing babes and have received the ad vice needed; ask the parents who have wayward boys and girls. Yes, and ask the officers of the other organizations. The secretary of the Social Hygiene Society will tell you that the co-operation of the parents" bureau has meant much to them in their work; the direc tor of the People's Institute is more than pleased and proud of the work of the new organization; so, too, are all who have made investigation and un derstand the mother motive, the help fulness and the self-sacrifice of those who have put into practice the Golden Rule. Rave you bad a kindness shown? Pass it on. Twas not meant for you alone. Pass It on. Let It follow down the years. Let it dry another's tears. - 'Til the deed in heaven appears, Pass it on. Animal Rags for Nursery. Grass fiber rugs, with borders of stenciled animals, done in soft red, yel low, brown and green, which show at tractively against the light gray-green of the fiber, are sold for nursery mats or for rugs for children's rooms. They are so light, so easily cleaned, and so durable that they are ideal for use in C. r"rtvt i- " 1 i " x . - V4 TV. 1) LI ' 1 ' i r K STecK Troops W sl " rLrirl 3 "'' v' : '' . - It .

FRANCISCO, Aug. 9. (Special.) The department of livestock at the Panama-Pacific Exposition has been given 175,000 by the Exposition Company to be awarded, as cash prize in the livestock exhibit.

Two hundred members of California. Commandery No. 1 with their wives and a well-formed drill team left last Fri day for Denver on a special Western Pacific train to attend the Triennial Conclave of all the Knights Templar of the United States. The California Commandery, under the leadership of William C. Hassler, commander, mounted on a white horse, will act as escort of the Grand Com mander of the United States and the rest of the commanders will be mounted on black horses, which are now being trained near Denver by a Colonel of the United States Army. These horses are from the famous En wosd Farm at Colorado Springs, and there is not a single white spot on any one of them. Three years ago the California Com mandery led the parade in Chicago and their coal black horses caused a con tinual round of applause along the en tire line of march. A touring car will be given to the commandery making the best appear ar.ee. and as California Commandery is yjt&Vg&i' ?-'A the only mounted commandery in the world, they should have little trouble In winning the prize. The drill team also acts as escort to the grand commander and will enter the competitive drill against nineteen teams from Eastern cities. The California boys expect to win again, as they have defeated all teams for nine consecutive conclaves. The trophy is a $3500 loving cup. Two carloads of California wines flowers, fruits, raisins, etc. will be car ried on the special train and given to the Eastern sir K.nignts. Fifteen thou sand souvenir boxes, inviting the Tem plars to the fair in also will be distributed. Spanking as a means of disciplining nusoanas wnu ao not aevoie enough at tention to their wives was suggested publicly from the Superior Court bench in San Francisco. It was Judge Buck who was speaking and the case was that of Julia A- against Joseph A. Hef fernar for divorce. Heffernar, who is a clerk, admitted on the stand that he had taken girls to dances since his mar riage in July, 1909. He also pleaded guilty to taking his half holidays in company other than his wife's and i frequenting moving-picture shows the neglect of the higher-priued the aters. to which alone his wife wouli consent to accompany liim. When he was all through with hi4 testimony Judge Buck read him a lec ture. "Did it ever occur to you," said thi court, "to take care of your chlldrei and let the wife go out? It doesn't ap pear that you have appreciated havinsj a good wife. You apparently do noi appreciate that you are a married mai and not a boy any longer and that yoi can't go out with the boys' every night Tour wife is entitled to go out as mucr as yourself. Moreover, you seem t expect her to stay at home like a hors tied in the stable. But I would cai your attention to the fact that you wife is a woman, not a horse. A mar-G ried man who takes girls to dance after his marriage deserves to be pil loried and also to be spanked. ' The judge refused to grant a divorce saying that he was in hope a recon ciliation could be effected. m m Kid Sullivan, formerly known as th4 kine- of the pickpockets, is once raorJ familiar sight on the streets. Hi comings and goings attract no atten tion. The newspapers and the polic pay no attention to him. It was no so In the days when he was the boorl companion of Chief Jerry Dinan. 1 was not so when Chief Seymour an nounced that Sullivan would no longe be allowed to stay in San Francisco Sullivan stayed and Seymour has los his Job as Chief. whether Sullivan has reformed Is no known. At all events, he does not seen to be regarded longer as an undesirabl. citizen. He owns a farm somewher. in the country and is fond of talkinj agriculture to anybody who will dis cuss that fascinating subject with him A change of considerable local im portance has been announced recentl; on the Chronicle. Charles de Youngi son of M. H. de Young, has been ele vated to the position of publisher o the Chronicle, while W. H. B. Fowler a Stanford graduate, who, for a num ber of years, has been the automobil editor of the paper, has become th business manager. The change doubtless means tha more and more General de Young wil drop out of the active working of th paper with which he has been identi fled so long. Charles de Ttoung wa Ihe business manager for several year and practically in control of the papeil even though he did not assume tn title. Gossirj in newspaper row is that th Seattle people who took over the Cai with a view to purchasing the pape are about to drop out of sight. It i said that they have had a hard row t hoe and have decided that they can a better elsewhere. It also is said tha John D. Spreckels is contemplatin taking control of his own paper one again. FIERY HAIR BRINGS FAME British Association to" Inspect 5 Red Heads in Burbage. LONDON, Aug. a. (Special.) Th red-haired children of Burbage ther. are about 50 of them in this Warwick shire village of 300 families are like ly to become more famous than eve in September, when the members o the British Association are to inspec them as an illustration to a pape which will be read by Major Hurst, wh iiv in th locality. When a red-haired baby is born li Burbage, comments a special corre spondent of the Express, the first thin: the proud mother says is, "Tell Majo Hurst there's another of 'em." Malor Hurst has studied the childre: of Burbage for heredity in eyes anl hair for years. His conclusions are a: follows: When both parents have red hair, al the children are red. When both parents have brown hair either all the children or most of therd are brown, ana a lew red. When one parent is brown and th other red, either all the children ar brown or about one-half are brown and one-half are red. The red-naired ones are no mor fiery tempered than the rest.
