Weds Foster Father

Urged Her to Take Her

CHICAGO. Sept. 20.—“ When I be

the dying wish of my foster mother,
Mr. Worth’s first wife, was fulfilled.
Mr and Mrs. Worth reared me an
their daughter from the time 1 was

This was the statement made by
Mrs. Marjorie Payne Worth, aged
25. w’hen she told of her marriage to
William Worth, 44 years her senior,
which took place at Windsor Park,
where the bride has resided since the
death of her foster mother in July.
“I was devoted to my foster parents.
Mrs. Worth and I were like mother

4-YEJB-OLO BOY
15 MASTER OF
POLYSYLLABLES
Words Like "Spondylotherapy”
and “Polycotyledon” Baby
Talk of Youngster.
DETROIT, Sept. 20.—“ The boy with
the mirror brain” is what they call
4-year-old George Herbert VanVleet.
His exceptional mental activity dates
back to early babyhood.
At an age when the average young
ster’s vocabulary consists of a series
of sounds that no one but a doting
parent could by any stretch of th?
imagination construe as representing
even "googoo,” George was talking
distinctly, repeating words that would
stump many a grown-up.
By the time he was 16 months old
he astonished physicians who had
ben attracted by stories of his ability
when such simple words as spondylo
therapy, polycotyledon, mataptergold,
limnanthaceae rolled off his tongue as
easily as if they contained but on?
syllable.
To-day, just turned 4. there is not a
word in the Bnglish language that,
having heard once, he will not repeat,
with astonishing clearness of enun
ciation.
He has never been taught to read.
All letters look alike to him when
they axe coupled together.
"We have never crowded George in
the least,” said Mr. VanVleet, wh?n
the fear was expressed that such
precocity, if encouraged, might lead to
a mental breakdown in a short time.
"It is only necessary for him to hear
anything once. A statement settles
back In his brain to be brought forth
at will. We have never undertaken
to teach him to read, as we were
fearful of imposing too severe a
■train. How one small head man
ages to contain such a mass of de
tail is too much for me. I only know
that it does and ; a willing to et
someone else do the explaining.”
In other respects Georg© is an or
dinary, wideawake, fun-loving young
ster to whom life is one round of joy.
He is fond of the games common with
children of his age an t is popular
with his playmates. But when ill
these pall, he se ks relief in poring
over maps or in other ways acquir
ing a fund of information out of all
keeping with his years.
English Sparrows
Used to Halt Weevil
Feathered Gamins Are Welcomed in
Alfalfa Fields of Western
States.
MADISON, WIS., Sept. 20—The
English sparrow has found a claim to
usefulness. The most despised of
birds promises to be of service in
cheeking the spread of the alfalfa
w eevil.
The spread of this pest has threat
ened the destruction of the alfalfa
industry in Utah, Wyoming and
Southern Idaho and caused much
alarm among growers of the plant in
Wisconsin and other Middle Western
States.
That the seed Introduction theory
of spread is false has been definitely
proved by T. H Parks and James G.
Sanders, plant experts, respectively, to
.the Idaho Agricultural College and the
University of Wisconsin’s College of
Agriculture. Their investigations
have shown that the weevil feeds
upon leaves and stems of the plant,
but never upon the seed. On the
other hand, there is every possibility
of spread in the fact that the beetle
or Its eggs may be carried from dis
trict to district in the hay upon which
it feeds.
BOY SUDDENLY INSANE;
GREW TOO RAPIDLY
MARINETTE, WIS., Sept. 20.
Growing too rapidly is the principal
reason given for the sudedn insanity
of Ray Kennlson, the 15-year-old son
of the Rev. C. S. Kennison. The youth
stands nix feet two inches in height
and Is growing rapidly. The boy was
brought before Judge Davis, of the
County Court, who ordered him com
mitted to the Stale Hospital for the
Insane at Oshkosh. The father has
taken a pastorate in Missouri and has
moved to that State.

Japanese Strain in
Alaskan Indians
Head of Rodman Wanamaker Expe
dition Returns From Exploring
Trip to Neah Bay.
TACOMA, WASH.. Sept. 20.—After
studying Indian tribes at Neah Bay
and elsew’here, Dr. Joseph Dixon, head
of the Rodman Wanamaker expedi
tion, returned from Cape Flattery, at
the entrance to the Straits of Fuca.
Dr. Dixon is accompanied by his son
and Major McLaughlin, of the United
States Army. \
“Neah Bay Indians are a combina
tion of Russians, Japanese and Eski
mos,” said Dr. Dixon. "They are a
squatty, short type, and extremely in
teresting. From a viewpoint of char
acter study, they are valuable.”
This confirms the view advanced
twenty years ago by Judge James
Wickersham, now Alaska delegate in
Y’ongress. and by others since, that
Western Washington Siwash tribes
sprang from Japanese wafted across
the Pacific voluntarily or otherwise
by the current centuries
ago.
Doctor Calls Kissing
Fine, and Also Safe
Physician Disagrees With Theory
That Osculation Is in Any Way
Dangerous.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 20.—Kissing,
“as a general proposition,” was ap
proved to-day by Dr. J. F. Edwards,
head of the City Bureau of Infectious
Diseases.
"Kissing Is as old as the human
race.” said Dr. Edwards. "What harm
is there In it? It is not the puny
creature that sits around and spoons.
Usually the men anu women addicted
to this love affection are strong and
healthy.
"Weaklings do not have enough
energy to spoon. There is no special
danger in kissing "

Baby Is Killed by
Drinking Absinthe
Boy Finds Bottle and Gives It to
Child, Who Dies Soon After
Taking Dose.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—After finding
a nice-looking tattle yesterday, 5-
year-old Henry Kiosk! generously
g*ave it to 6-montli-old Eugene Rock
well, of No. 5125 Belmont avenue.
"Here's a bottle for baby," he said,
kindly.
The bottle contained absinthe, and
Baby Rockwell died a short time aft
er being taken to St. Ann’s Hospital.
The police traced the story of the
bottle and the Coroner was notified.
Five different grades of rice including DOMTNO were placed under the
magnifying glass and then photographed. No. 1 representes DOMINO,
while the others represent various inferior grades.
We believe that by serving only the best
quality of head rice to the consumer, in a
• sanitary 7 package, we can enormously in
crease the consumption by judicious
advertising.
For thia purpose we have planned
a broad campaign or
and invite the co-operation of the Trade
and the Consumer.
