Professor Neal attributes this to the longer porlod of infancy In men. Women mature more rapidly, he points out, but when men become developed completely they benefit by the increased preparation of tho long adolescence. Thus men adults attain more. He sees another factor in women's lack of necessity for competition. From this point of view, they "have suffered from too much protection." In biology, he explains, It is shown that protected animals, those that do not have to reiy on their own prowess to meet ndverse conditions, fall to reach the high state of de velopment attained by those forging ahead single-handed and flgh'.jug past obstacles. 4 4 4 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 4 CONTRACT HELD 4 CROPPING INVALID WHERE ALIEN 4 CANNOT OWN 4 4 4 4 ♦ 4 ♦ Those Ineligible to Citizenship Can ♦ not Have Hhares In Corporation ♦ Dealing in Lands 4 4 4 Washington.

William McCoovey, well known in Crescent City, was at the mouth of Blue Creek, emptying into the Klamath about 18 miles from the mouth, a distance of 38 miles from Crescent City on Friday. He was just preparing to eat a lunch when a man, with his face well beared, ap proached him and asked if the large river were the Trinity, and as to whether there was much travel up and down the river. While talking, the supposed bandit coughed -and stepped back. Immediately a shot was fired from the mountain side, going through McCoovey's hat, gras- Ing the scalp. He was stunned by the impact, the bearded man, it is believed, striking him over the head with a revolver butt at the same time. When McCoovey regained con- sclousness, he found that his watch, $30 and provisions were stolen. He described the man who talked to him as answering the descriptions of one of the train robbers, being short and heavy. Sheriff Brocn and detectives went to the scene of tbo holdup to search for clues. GEN. JOSEF HALLER Tucson, Aris., Nov. 19.—(A.
