“Wril in Water”
In some instances the elusive message
of the Water-spirit hn* bepn caught with
su« h accuracy by the poets that it seems
a clear case of verbal inspiration.
Many of the most haunting poems In
the English language were thus horn of
water; witness Shelley’s “Cloud," By
rons “Ocean," Arnold s “Dover Beach."
and Tennyson's "Break, Bieak, Break,"
“The Brook." and “Crossing the Bar."
not to mention “The Passing of Arthur,
whose closing scene, in which the barge
glides slowly over the water, makes an
ethereal ending, a spiritual (Umax, Ideal
ly fitting for sn Ideal King. . . .
The plenary inspiration of the Water
spirit is almost as unmistakable In sin
gle words of every language, as ety
mologists long ago discovered. Minne
haha, Shenandoah. Oscawann, Musketa
<iwlt, Thalatta. Weiden-Bach, or our
own word brook, could never have been
the names of rocks or mountains. Even
more striking th.in the water-conferred
music and limpidity of single words are
the poetic clarity and beauty of almost
ever figure of speech In which water is
the hssfs of the simile. The Bible Is
esepclally rich in tropes from this source
• “Thy Judgments are a great deep," and
sang David; and again, “All Thy waves
are gone over me," and “All my springs
are In Thee.”
Nearly all toe poets nnd prophets of
the Old Testament felt and made use of
this poetic and spiritual quality of wa
ter, nnd the New Testament, In a
heightened degree, continues in the say
ings of Christ, and his followers, the
the beautiful imagery which it inspired.

Opposed to Teaching of Sex
Hygiene
In the August, Woman’, Home
Companion a Texas schoo'. teacher
writes a letetr in which she explains
In part, as follows, why ahe is op
posed to the teaching of sex hygiene
in the public schools:
“IT a child should come to me with
a question I would answer him frank
ly, hut not before a class of mixed
■tudents. Instruction in sex hygiene
should come from the parent, or from
some mature friend.
‘‘While I am sure f hold the love
anil confidence of some of my pupils,
I am not sure I hold the confidence
of all to the extent that they would
appreciate my discussing delicate
subjects with them. I would not re
fuse a child Information, but It would
he given in confidence, and by no
means do I regard it my business to
Inform all my pupils in sex hygiene ”

HEIRESS SAYS MARRIAGE
TO POLICEMAN ILLEGAL
• MISS GIULIA MOROSINf.
New York.—Since told by her at' >ney on his return from Rome that
the divorce of her traffic-policeman husband from his first wife was
illegal and for that reason his nt arriage to her was likewise illegal,
Mrs. Giulia Morosini Werner has dropped the Werner from her name,
changed the Mrs. to Miss and quit worrying about separation proceed
ings. The heiress cast off her cave-man husband several weeks ago and
since that time Elmhurst, her Riverside estate. has beep guarded by

Alleged Julian Zachry Struck
Former Wife, Wrenched Child
From Her and Fled From Hotel
Attorney C. E. Dunbar, for Mrs. Zachy, Yesterday Filed Pe
tition in Superior Court Here Asking for Permanent Cus
today of Child, Frances. Hearing Before Judge Hammond
Monday.
A petition of Mary TV. Zachry vs.
Julian J. Zachry, In which the di
vorced mother asks for the permanent
custody of Frances, one of the chi! •
dren; that she not be required by
the court to deliver even temporarily
the possession of the child to Its
father. Julian Zachry, as she has been
required to do by law. and that he be
punished for his deliberate violation
of the court's order, was filed yester
day In the superior court here by C. E.
Dunbar, attorney for the plaintiff.
The petition will be heard by Judge
Hammond Monday morning at 9
o'clock, In chambers.
What Petition Alleges.
The petition sets out that since suit
against Julian Zachry, brought in the
fall of last year by Mrs. Zachry for
divorce, alimony and the custody of
her child Frances, was decided by
Judge Hammond, the child, according
to the court's order, was to remain
with the mother and the father, al
ternately, a month each, every month
expiring on the 25th. It further al
leges that on the 25th of May, 1914,
Ihe mother gave the child to the
father to remain until June 25th; that
on June 25th the father failed to re
turn the child to Its mother and thus
violated the court's order, and kept it
until July sth; that on July 20th the
father called at the home of his di
vorced wife in Atlanta and asked for
Frances, saying that he wanted to
carry her to the business center of tfce
city for the purpose of buying some
clothes for her; that he did so and
that the mother followed, fearing th it
the father might carry out a threat
made over the phone the night before,
that he Intended to take the child
away with him.
The petition then goes on to sav
that he carried Frames to his room
at the Piedmont Hotel, here reiterat
ing his iormer threat; that she then
phoned for an attorney. W. S. Colburn,
and that as soon as his presence In
the lobby of Ihe hotel was made known
by phone message to the room. Mr*.
Zachary, who was holding her child
in her arms, was struck by Zachry
cN I jiJj
I J,
a heav y blow on the chest, knocking
her over against a piece of furniture
in the room, when he then wrenched
the child from the arms of Its mother
ami ran away.
Last Glimpse of Him.
I’pon recovering from th# blow, ac
cording to the petition. Mrs. Zachry
followed to the hotel lobby, where she
arrived Just In time to see Zachry,
with the child, leave the entrance of
the hotel In a cab. and that since that
time she has seen neither. The peti
tion states that Mrs. Zachry believes
that Zachry went to his home in Har
lem, Ga„ for she received a letter from
him on the 24th, dated the day pre
vious. asking her to send him Frances'
clothes
The case for some time has eagerly
hem watched here by the friends of
both parties and this latest develop
ment will cause an added Interest, for
If the court upholds the petitioner It
will mean that the mother will gain
the permanent custody of b#r child.
How to Remove Fruit Stains
In the “Exchange" department of
the Womans' Home Companion—a de
partment devoted to household sug
gestions made by contributors out of
tbelr practical experience—appear the
following euggestions as to the best
ways of removing fruit stains The
first ta contributed by a New York
woman and the second by an lowa
woman:
"Whenever I find a fruit stain on
tablecloths or napkins. I wet It with
a little camphor. If this is done before
the stain has been wet with water
the stain will entirely disappear when
the articles are laundered.
"To remove fruit stains from table
linen easily and surely, simply mois
ten the stain with pure glycerin before
sending clothes to the laundry. Twen
ty-five cents' worth of glycerin will
probably last the ordinary family a
year or more, at least."
Ministers would mset with more suc
cess If they knew as much about this
world ss they think they know about
the next.
Prepare to Assemble Great International
Fleet and Dispatch Through Panama\
Canal to Panama-Pacific Exposition
Washington.—As a result of a con
ference between the secretaries of
state, war and navy, a tentative pro
gram has been prpared for th as
semblage In Hampton Roads and dis
patch to San Francisco by way of tho
Panama Canal for the great interna
tional fleet w'hich has been lnvalted
ty # act of congress to participate in
the celebration of the completion of
the Panama Canal and the opening of
tho Panama-Pacific International Ex
position. Copies of this program nave
just been completed and dispatched
to the various powers for presentation
to the governments to which they are
accredited.
Subject to slight changes, this is the
official program:
February 10-15. 1015—Foreign ships
rendezvous at Hampton oßads.
February 20—The president will pro
ceed to Hampton Roads and there
review the combined fleet, after which
the fleet will proceed to the Isthmus
of Panama.
March s—The president, on a battle
ship will depart for the Panama
Canal.
March 10—The president arrives at
Colon.
March 12—The president and fleet
pass through the canal.
March 13—Ceremonies at Balboa or
Panama.
March 13 —The president sails for
San Francisco on a battleship.
March 14—The fleet leaves Balboa,
proceeding to San Francisco. *
March 23—The president arrives at
San Francisco.
Invitation.
The original invitations to the
maritime powers to send vessels to
participate in these great events —the
opening of the Panama Canal and the
Sar. Francisco exposition—were sent
in September last. So far, favorable
responses have been received from
twelve countries, viz: Argentine Re
public, Austria-Hungary, Cuba,
France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy,
Japan, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and
Spain. It is certain that this does
not by any means represent the total
number of naval participants for it is
known that other governments are
simply awaiting the further develop
ment of plans for these celebrations to
signify their intention to participate.
J heir decision will be hastened oy
another circular note which the state
department has just dispatched to
American embassies and legations
abroad. This circular asks for a reply
to three questions; first, the number
of ships which the country will send;
second, their size, and third, their
steaming radius. Much depends upon
the answers to these questions. Re
garding the first, it is neither expected
nor desired that there shall he a
wholesale gathering of the navies of
the world in Hampton Roads. The
idea i., expected that the greater naval
powers will be more numerously rep
resented than teh smaller states Italy
already has unofficially signifies an
intention to send a complete squadron
of three fine cruisers under command
of an admiral, and it may he that this
offer will mark the proportion of rep
resentation of the other navies. The
speed requirements of the long cruise
from Hampton Roads to the Golden
Gate will be rother severe, so much
so, indeed as to bar from participa
tion in the great voyage any of me
little gunboats which form the only
strength of some *f the small states
In Pair*.
The second question relating to the
size of the vessels is important as in
dicating the possibility of passing
them in pairs or even triplets through
the great locks of the Panama Canal
and thereby saving valuable time. Alsi
H w-11l assist the naval commander of
the international fleet in arranging'nls
itinerary by informing him of the
THEN AND NOW
One hundred and twenty-four
years ago today George Washington
signed the Congressional Act which
established the United States Reve
nue Cutter Service.
It thus became the first maritime
force of the American Republic.
Fifteen months later there were ten
revenue cutters afloat, officered by
veterans of the old Continental Navy.
These vessels constituted the only
armed force afloat belonging to the
United States for the following 6 years.
Their duties were to patrol the coast,
extending in those days from Maine
to Georgia, to prevent smuggling, and
to enforce the few maritime laws ex
isting in the United States. Organized
under the Treasury Department, it
remained in the discretion of the
President to send them to war under
the Navy. Fighting French privateers
in 1798, the revenue cutters captured
eighteen of the twenty-two prizes
taken by the United States. In tne
war of 1812 they captured the first
prize ship, and fought gallantly
throughout the war. They fought in
the Mexican War; one of the cutters
accompanied the naval expedition
against Paraguay in 1858. During the
Civil War. they fought with the Navy
and helped to maintain the blockade
of Southern ports. In the Spanish-
Amerlcan War, a revenue cutter ac
companied Dewey into Manila Bay,
while the crew of another won Con
gressional medals for its spectacular
rescue of Ensign Bagley s helpless tor
pedo boat at Cardenas, Cuba.
17 Perfect Babies Out of 100,-

The Woman's Home Companion has
been conducting a series of Better
Babies contest throughout the United
States. Over 100,000 babies have
been examined and scored by physi
cians using ttvs standard score-card.

probability of the units to meet heavy
weather conditions.
No less important is the third ques
tion relating to tho coal endurance us
the vessels: the navy department must
be advised of the maximum distance
wnich each ship can make with full
bunkers of coal in order to plan for
fresh supplies at the proper point. It
is believed that if the navies repre
sented comprise only modern large
sized ships, it will be possible to mako
the run of 1,900 miles from Hampton
Roads to Colon without stop. In the
canal fresh supplies of coal will be
taken, hut even then it may impose a
severe strain upon the small vessels
to make the run from Balboa to San
Francisco, 2,189 miles, and some of
them may be obliged to put in for
coal at Pichilinque. the American coal
ing station in Lower California, or to
take fuel from colliers in Magdalena
Pay on the west coast of Mexico.
Some of the naval vesels of even the
larger European powers are very de
ficient, according to American stand
ards, in this matter of coal endur
ance. principally because they were
designed for home defense and short
cruises.
Floating Ice.
Because floating ice in Chesapeake
Bay some times makes it impossible
for days at a time to take on coal and
othe.- supplies, and in order to guard
..gainst delay in the execution of the
short and crowded program, the for
eign naval vessels have ben requested
Lc assemble several days at least n
advance of the date of Fbruary 10V
ranticned in the memorandum. Their’
commanding officers with their staffs
will be the guests of the United States
government as will he the special
naval representatives invited to at
tend. The presence of the latter will
relieve the diplomatic body in Wash
ington from th obligation to be pres
ent at Hampton Roads, which is for
tunate in view of the fact that they
are expected to attend the opening
ceremonies of the Panama-Pacific Ex
pociton at San Francisco, now fixed
for February 20, without possibility of
postponement. The foreign naval con
tingent will be brought tci Washing
ton on a passenger steamer especially
chartered for the purpose and their
stay in the national capital will nec
essarily he very short as they must
he in Hampton Roads again on the
anniversary of Washington’s birthday
when President Wilson will review
the fleet as it passes through the
Chesapeake capes bound for Colon.
The day after congress adjourns the
president will follow the fleet on one
of the great dreadnaughts now under
construction and expected to be com
plete about that time.
It is planned to divide the interna
tional fleet into four sections for the
passage through the Panama Canal
and as at least two of the average
sized warships can be accommodated
in the thousand-foot locks at one
time, the entire fleet could be locked
through in about two days The fjfc
tures of the parade through the c ine I
will be the old battleship Oregon on
the bridge of which will stand Admiral
Clark who commanded the ship in her
famous run around South America
during the Spanish-American waA
also Secretary Daniels and many otherV
notables and the inty launch Louise./
one of the first boats to be employed
by the French canal builders and
which has been by act of congress
made a gift to the French government
to commemorate the completion of th«
canal.
Very soon the officials here will
take up the arrangement of a program
for the exercises which are to take
place at Balboa to commemorate the
formal opening of the waterway, but
so far no attempt has been made to
outline them beyond the delivery of
an appropriate address by Prsl’dent
Wilson.
Today forty-three armed cutters,
tugs and launches, manned by 1,728
officers and enlisted men, are scour
ing the seas as Uncle Sam’s ' watch
dogs of the sea."
The majority are stationed along the
coast of the United States ready to
steam where duty calls. One may be
going to sea to blow up a derelict that
has become dangerous to navigation;
another searching a sbiip for smug
gled goods or examining her sailing
papers; while a third may be on the
way to suppress mutiny or piracy, or
to enforce neutrality laws of Ameri
can ports The revenue cutter offi
cer is empowered to enforce nearly
every law bearing upon the mari
time interests. They protect the sea!
fisheries of Alaska, and patrol tll/V
coast in search of vessels in
during fne winter months. Under a
recent regulation they patrol the
trans-Atlantic lane of travel to warn
all vessels of any nation of the dan
ger of floating icebergs, such as the
one that sank the Titantic. They
enforce quarantine .regulations; they
patrol the coast of* four Southern
States which were suffering under an
epidemic of yellow fever In 1905-
They penetrated to the Arctic regions
to bring succor to stranded whaling
ships. It was in 1897-9 that a cutter
raced through a thousand miles of ice
packs to rescue whalers frozen In at
Point Barrow before they starved to
death. For th' exploit Congress
passed a resolution of thinks.
