Demonstration Aids in Wip- :rag Out Delinquency. •' i ii i • *'*Kew York.--Ten cities In which three-year demonstrations of visiting teacher work have been completed under the auspices of the commonwealth fond program for the prevention of delinquency have determined to contlnoe jthe use of visiting teachers as a regular " feature of their public school systems. According to Howard W. Nudd, director of the nubile Educational association of New York city and chairman of the national committee on visiting teachers which has administered these demonstrations, the communities thus convinced of the value of the visiting teacher and planning to continue her eervices Include Burlington, Vt., Lincoln, Neb.; Richmond, Va.; Red Bank, N. J.; Kalamazoo, Mich.; Sioux City, Iowa; Bluefleld, W. Va.; Sioux Falls, 8. D.; Warren, Ohio, and Hutchinson, Kan. Meanwhfle, demonstrations are being continued by the national committee on •letting teachers in the following communities: Berkeley, CaL; Birmingham, Ala.; Boone county, Missouri; Butte, Mont.; Charlotte, N. C.; Chlskolm, Minn.; Coatesville, Pa.; Columbus, Ga.; Detroit, Mich.; Durham, N. <3.; Eugene, Ore.; Huron county, Ohio; Omaha, Neb.; Pocatello, Idaho; Racine, Wis.; - Rochester, Pa.; Rock Springs, Wyo.; San Diego, Cal.; Tuc- MW Ariz.; Tulsa, Okla. * ~ Appointed by ComnUttfiC K When the work 1* finished 1b these cities the thirty visiting teacher demonstrations under the commonwealth fund program will have been completed. Under the arrangements made for these demonstrations the visiting teachers were appointed by the national committee on visiting teachers subject to th« approval of the local authorities; in each case the national committee pays two-thirds of the salary for a three-year period and pro- Tides funds for certain additional expenses, while the remainder of the salary is paid by the local school board. Several hundred cities have made application for demonstrations under this plan, but the thirty communities provided for in the original grant from the commonwealth fund having been chosen, no further applications are now being considered. Including the visiting 'teachers appointed by the national committee for these demonstrations there are now altogether 186 visiting teachers in the United States working in 64 cities and 6 counties scattered through 34 states. These figures are given by Mr. Nudd In a chapter on the history, purpose and Scope of the visiting-teacher movement, which he contributes to "The Problem Child in School," a volume of" visiting teacher case narratives by Mary B. Sayies, Just published by the Joint Committee on Methods of Preventing Delinquency, Inc., of 60 East Forty-second street, New York city. Describing the visiting teacher as a specialist In the schools who devotes herself to the problems of unadjusted children, Mr. Nudd, in the article above referred to, points that "every teacher, every social worker, and many a parent is familiar with the problem child--the boy or gfrl whose school progress or whose reactions to norma) requirements point toward later inefficiency, delinquency, or some other fallare in personal or social adjustment What is the trouble with such children, and what can be done for them? How can the school obtain and utilize a knowledge of the forces that are affecting their success, and give them In fullest measure the benefits of their educational experience? Puzzles or pests at home, in school, or elsewhere, their personal welfare and the welfare of society require painstaking effort In their behalf. Tliey present at once the most baffling, the most urgent and the most interesting problems In the field of education." Finds Needs ef Children. Describing the methods of the visiting teacher in meeting these problems, which are both educational and social in nature, Mr. Nudd points out that this relatively new specialist, trained both as a teacher and social worker, "is specifically equipped not only to find out why things are not going right in the lives of these children but also to take bnck to the class teacher, the parent or the social agency which may help, the essential information needed to meet their individual limitations. As a result of the new facts she discovers the school is enabled to see what the actual situation is and to become aware of the real need of the child. It can often modify requirements to meet the newly seen limitations by changing the class, transferring the child to a special school, shifting emphasis from one phase of school work to another, adopting a new approach to the child or connecting his school work more closely with bis outside Interests.

New York.--A small spool of steel wire will preserve for future generations the epochal events of history. This is the way Harold Westman, twenty-three-year-old student and inventor of Mamaroneck, N. Y., views a device he has perfected to reproduce voice and other sounds by means of s vibrating wlrte. "If this idea had been worked out sooner," he said, "we could now hear the Sermon on the Mount, Patrick Henry's speech for liberty or death, Lincoln's address at Gettysburg--every ballot in the 1924 Democratic national convention. With those opportunities gone, however, every important event of the future can he preserved, Westnum declares. * Better Than Phonegraph. The steel wire method reproduces sound more clearly than the phonograph, be claims, and can be preserved indefinitely, whereas phonograph records are comparatively short lived. "If a great speech Is made It can be recorded on a spool of this wire and be reproduced perfectly a thousand years from now," the young Inventor said. Westman was shown the claim of Dr. Curt Stille, German Inventor, thnt he had perfected a similar device. The Stille announcement was carried in an exclusive International News Service dispatch of August 3. "I perfected my invention several months ago, and gave it a final trial July 9," Westman said. "Idelle Patterson, well known New York singer, will verify this. "In the final test I asked her to sing a number of arias that are most difficult to reproduce, clearly by any method. She sang for forty minutes and then listened to the results--the reproduction of her own voice. "She paid me and my invention 11 minimum ^. I1!"'v* . ii'i•J ii.i n'i- in '•iiiji in Hi mi The materfamillas has finally regained her place tn the son and the age of discretion need ho longer cloak Its wisdom In the garb of the Ingenue. That Is one of the Interesting messages of the Paris openings, and It will be received with varied emotions by the youth of yesterday, writes a Paris fashion correspondent in the New Yprk Herald-Tribune. Many a slender dowager and numerous matrons not so thin who ever live and relive-the days of "naughty** four -will not be eager to forsake the styles which linked them still with the Irrepressibles and which, under the decree of Fashion, dimmed the esthetic eye and silenced the critical tongue. The new models, while they by no means lack In the charm of youthfulness, Incorporate enough of the more stately themes to gratify the heart of the mature woman of cultured tastes and no the compliment of saying the reproduction was perfect* "I made no public annoQn^mChV of the test, because I dont clalnt much credit for It," the inventor eon* tinued. "^Doctor Stille was apparently behind me by three or four weeks, but both of us were 25 years behln<j Poulsen, the Swedish inventor." Poulsen, according to Weetman* perfected the electro-magnetic metfkS od of voice reproduction a quarter of a century ago, and devices using hi4* principle were used In dictaphone work In Europe. The sounds war# clear but faint * Aided by Radio. "The trouble was," he said, "that" the amplifier or 'loud speaker,' hid not been developed then as It hat* since radio. The loud speaker If the one thing Doctor Stille and I have that Poulsen didn't" Westman said he wanted to give full credit to Poulsen and some credit to himself for being ahead of Doctor Stille with the application of the amplifier to the old process. To substantiate the claim be exhibited a number of photographs made by the International Newsreel company of New York during the test with Mme. Patterson. These photographs, taken July 9, show the device In operation. The principle of the "wire method" of sound regulation as explained by the young Inventor is this: The wire is unreeled from the spool as the sound enters* the microphone. The sound waves, magnified by the microphone, cguse the wire to vibrate. While vibrating the wire is magnetized, the degree of msgnetizatloif depending upon the length of vibration. When the magnetized wire runs through the reproducing end of the apparatus, bits of steel attract the magnetized wire, causing It to vibrate exactly as in the first process. This vibration reproduces the sound waves that first entered the microphone, and they are Increased to audibility in the loud speaker. The advantages of this proceM are Several, according fo Westman. jg.i I y," **>11 • < ' 'J-;n»"'» 1J "jrn ito. inn iy m>i'ntri.yr <n«imj<i _ \ r'°\i iijijruii ^ v'*": • \ ..

The walstless silhouette has been the principal difficulty of those who wer£ unable to resist the weight of advancing years and inept attempts to offset It by figures' no longer supple hsve been responsible for some unlovely and decidedly Inartistic effects. The Paris couture this season has boldly declared for the marked waistline and enough Varieties have been offered to satisfy the most difficult. Even the skirt length, mathematically as short as ever, frequently camouflages Its brevity by means of scallops or an uneven hemline. And If to these you add the usually long and often decorative sleeve, the high neckline and the emphasis upon ornate trimmings and bright colors--not, however, to the exclusion of black--it becomes apparent that smartness will not be the exclusive portion of the young for fall and winter. Suzanne Talbot demonstrates very dearly In her^ new collection that a great modiste can be a great dressmaker as well. Originality and a firstclass knowledge of her subject are distinguishing characteristics of every gown shown. Russian, medieval and Oriental influences are marked, with an especial leaning toward the Egyptian effects, of which Madame Talbot kas always been so fond. Skirts That Show Moderation. The line is full and fairly straight, with short skirts that still show moderation, for they more than cover the knee, being some sixteen inches off the ground. The hips are clearly defined either by a swathed belt or some drapery outlining the curves of the figure! Sleeves are either long and tight-fitting or they do not exist. Many of the coats have fanciful sleeves. For instance, que in black cloth trimmed with astrakhan has long bag sleeves that can hang straight down and cover the bands or be tucked up to form a full cuff. Another wrap, in,, white velvet embroidered in gold, has long pointed sleeves nearly reaching the ground, such as were worn by ladles during the days of the Crusaders. Beautiful hand-woven materials sre used for the attractive sports costumes that all show the two-piece jumper and skirt effects. Many of these are In two colors or two shades of the same color with large inlets either diamond shaped or triangular. Leather, gold foil, fiat fur and painted parchment are used as trimmings. A black velvet gown has s round yoke and gauntlet cuffs of fine gold foil. The dress Is cut In one piece behind and molded to the hips, while In front there is a twisted belt from which spring full gathers forming a graceful front panel to the skirt. A Higher Waistline. • higher waistline Is evidenced la a handsome evening gown of gold and black lame that Is as supple as the finest silk. It has a front apron of another lame in which red and green are mingled with the black and gold In a lovely floral design. This Is so cut as to suggest that the back Is forming a bolero, while the high waist Is further accentuated by cleverly Inserted plaits. Another notsble evening gown Is In white moussellne de sole. The fullness of the skirt is accentuated in front by the finest plaiting, while the hips are enveloped In a coat-of-mail arrangement of fine gold petal-shaped paillettes, giving a truly Egyptian line. An original raincoat Is of heavy black waterproofed crepe de chine with a capucine hood and wide cuffs of orange and beige plaid homespun, which also forms the lining. The dress under It has a charmingly simple Jumper of the black waterproof that also forms panels down the sides of the straight plaid skirt which has wide knife plaits In front The Miler Soeurs show a collection that is distinctly Parisian. This salon favors the moderately short skirt, which means some two or three inches longer than those worn In Paris last season. Godets are employed to make the skirts wider, and are cleverly Inserted in order to fetaln the general Impression of the etralght silhouette. Usually they appear only in the front, leaving the back plain and straight. The coat frock is the outstanding feature of the collection. Some are straight and button to below the hipline, where they are left open to show a plain slip underneath, while others have narrow godets In the front Buttons are a favorite trimming on such frocks and they always serve the practical purpose of actually buttoning a fastening. Incidentally, they are the exact color of the frock. Search for Wild Honey Costs Life Louisville. Ky.--A hunt for wild honey cost the life of Waiter Hall, fanner of New Albany, Ind. Tying an oily doth about his head for protection from bees, Hall thrust a torch into a ho!- $ low tree to smoke out the bees, He thA stuck his head in to Ijl see what progress the smoke was making. A draft sent the ~ flame from the torch - against his head covering and Ignited it. He dropped from the tree as his ^ clothing blazed, and for several V He died In a Louisville hospital. V SHOWS HIS BRAVERY iN FACE OF DEATH Velvet Is Favorite Trimming on Frocks Little original touches either In belts or collars are characteristic of this house. Miler Soeurs incline toward Jabot effect* this season and make them out of the ordinary by putting the buttons to work. A short Jabot buttons down the front of a black coat frock. In another Instance, a green crepe de chine dress, which has godets in the front of the skirt, is topped by s collar which is shaped like a coat collar and turns over In the back and ends In front In revers that are shaped with godets falling Into lines of a Jabot. Satin is as surprisingly popular here as everywhere and Its popularity Is likely to continue. Miler shows eeveral black satin frocks and favors black In most coat frocks. A black georgette crepe coat dress Is tucked from a short shoulder yoke and has plaits at the sides. It buttons down the front over m bow with long ends of beige chiffon edged with gold, which is attached at the neck to a black underslip. Another black coat dress is braided in soutache combined with embroidery, and still another In crepe "J Won't Cry" Says Dying Boy, Pinned Under Car. Jersey City, N. J.--Wadeslaw Kowalski, nine years old, was so busy playing at Grand and Washington streets that he did not see a surface car coming. He ran In front of the vehicle, was knocked down and caught under the forward trucks and dragged more than a hundred feet Fire truck No. 1, In command ef Capt. Joseph Fox, came on the run. The firemen put Jacks under the car and began to raise it off the boy's body. Wadeslaw was still conscious and as the trolley slowly began to rise he asked Captain Fox: "Will you get me out?" "We'll have you out of there I® bo time," 'said Captain Fox. "All right, mister, I wont cry,* said Wadeslaw, and a moment later a fireman lifted him In his arms and carried him to the curb. An ambulance with a doctor was on Its way, but before It reached there the boy died In the arms of the fireman, after the last rites of the Catholic church had been administered. Demented Girl Kept in Cage by Parents tm Angeles, Cal.--Two attendants in the psychopathic ward of the General hospital here are spending most of their time trying to keep clothes on twenty-three-year-old Josefa Saenz, Mexican girl, who was found demented, naked, and Imprisoned in a wooden cage In the cellar, ef her parents' home. The girl Is In good physical condition, Is exceptionally muscular, and shows no sign of III treatment, but She tears off clothes as fa6t as they are put on. For more than ten years Josefa had been kept In a cage, Mrs. Maria Saenz, the mother, said. They came here from El Paso a year and a half ago, carting the cage with them. Mm. Saenz declared.

He was picked up by State Trooper C. L. Fletcher of Waterloo and and turned over to the county agent, Miss Eva McCleary, who has communicated with Chicago. Davis had a pair of roller skates, overalls and $1.50 in money. He said he had earned money en route working for fa,rmers and was saving it to pay his fare home from Buffalo.

The higher neckline ia an established fact for fall. Judging by all the Indications on the fall frocks. Although it is still early to predict any prominent tendency, there la a reflection of the tailored note in the advanced styles. Laces and lace and net combinations will undoubtedly hold an ehdtaputed place in fashion and will be interpreted IB the light and dark ecru shades. Jabots are definitely pronounced for fall, detached or on collars, and usually of the medium and short lengths. The V neckline la developed by the nse of net and lace and frequently Is found with the pendant jabot Vestees are a very decided hint of the tailored style, and are made from lace and net and satin, crepe de chine and georgette combinations with Jabots, and roll and small tight collars. The demand for color on the costume is met on theee vestees either in solid color or severe color trimmings. The consensua of opinion aaams to be that scarfs will retain their favor this full owing to\tlie vogue for color. While colors are In the ascendant, so far as the fashions of the new season are concerned, nevertheless an occasional black gown proves that when handled with skill and discretion few combinations po&sess greater distinction and charm than black and white. Now that autumn is approaching attention is being given to the knitted costumes. One of the latest Is in black and white. The small geometrical pattern is carried out all over with the exception of white bands at collar, wrists and hem. With it is suggested black gloves with white stitching, and a black moire handbaf.
