make them step a llttlo livelier along tho
wooden promenade and to give the fair sex
an excuse to resurrect furs and sweaters,
which had been put away during tho hot
pell of last week.
After the sun came out yesterday tho
chilling winds were not noticeable. Thero
wag a slight falling off In tho bathing
crowd In tho morning, but all those who
missed tho morning plunge took advantago
of a warm afternoon to Indulge. The tem
perature of tho water was such that the

'Is now In tho condition that It usually Is
, during September, that month being con
sidered tho best of the year for those who
like a bath in tho briny deep.
Strollers nil consulted tho huge weather
map, maintained by the Government at the
end of one of tho avenues, to see If there
was any possibility of weather disturbances
at a distance which might bring about the
old-time last-of-August storms, but the tele
graphic reports showed every prospect of
' continued fair weather for a week at least.
"Weather predictors, both amateur and pro
fessional, see no possibility of anything
but local 8torra8. which will bo of such
short duration that they will not mar the
pleasure of visitors.
Humors of a railroad strlkn have failed
to Impress the sanguine business men of
this resort, and every one hero Is making
tast preparations for tho entertainment of
a record-breaking crowd over Labor Day.
As yet not ono cancellation has been re
ceived for hotel reservations made for that
time. The week-end will bo tho last grand
rally of tho summer visitors, but tho season
will not be over for a month or more after
that date. Labor Day last year was almost
as big as Independence Day, and still
greater crowds are looked for this year1.
The extension of the season until October
Is assured by the number of social events
planned for the month of September. The
Chelsea Yacht Club has set dates for three
or four events every week during Fptem-
' ber. and many other affairs, dinners, dances,
bridge parties and muslcales, will be given
by leaders of society.
The bal masque of the Life Guards'
Beneficial Association was held last night
and drew an Immense crowd to one of the
1 piers. An effectual boost was given to this
I event by a. street and Boardwalk parade
by the members of the Beach Patrol (the
i efflclal title of the men who protect bath
ers), and cash prizes awarded for the best
masquerade suits brought out beautiful and
novel costumes.

BLAME FOIUBAD SPELLING
IS PLACED UPON PARENTS
Teachers Not Alone at Fault Because
Pupils Are Weak
Business men, exasperated by grown job
hunters who can't spell, are quick to blame
the public schools. They reason justly
that spelling la a cardinal accomplishment ;
ens can't get along without It; It lies at
the base of knowledge and, therefore, pub
Ho school graduates should have It. By
the same process of reasoning they ask
why the young people can't write a plain,
regular hand and why they can't add a
column of figures quickly. No one can
blame the business man. who supports the
schools, for his exasperation, but It Is only
fair to consider the case from the side of
the teacher also.
One of the chief reasons that many young
Seople are pool) spellers, poor writers and
1-lnformed on the things of every-day busi
ness Ufa Is because the parents look to the
schools to do all the teaching. The fact Is
, that a child can't learn to spell In school.
He may pore over a spelling lesson for an
bour and then be called upon to write or
recite the words from memory, but unless
he Is a reader outside of school hours, un
less he absorbs the spelling of words un
consciously by contact with the printed
page, he will never be a good speller. The
parents must realise how little actual at
tention their child gets even in the best
regulated schoolroom. In fairness to the
schools, It must be remembered that they
cannot educate a child; they can only give
hlnj a chance, the proper surroundings
and the leader for education. If the child
'ti U) get the education, he must do the
work himself.
To reaffirm the stand that school work
must be supplemented by home work and
coaching. It is only necessary to go Into
the experience of any well-educated person
'and ascertain whether he obtained his.
knowledge )n the schoolroom or for himself.
'Or take the example of a child who enters
i the first grade of the school already know
4ng the alphabet and the sounds of the Vari
ous letter and combinations. The records
of the children will sbov that one thus
quipped will adwXB more rapidly and
will become a better reader and speller than,
ceo who enters knowing nothing of letter.
'Parents should not consider it irluome to

DR. WILSON, WOMAN
EXPLORER, RETURNS
Continued from race One
and a young man from tho museum expert
In the fine art of camp packing and cook
ing, this remarkable Philadelphia woman
undertakes work that might stump a com
prehensive scientific expedition. As the
result of her summer's labors, 900 valuable
specimens have been catalogued and much
potter', as Invaluable as tho data deduced
from It. has been brought back.
Doctor Wilson regards ns her most Im
portant find an anthropomorphic figure of
an Idol which has turquoise eyes and a tur
quoise heart. In addition, she has brought
back 21 burial urns, flutes made of the
bones of birds and animals.
But being a woman I was natually more
Interested In Doctor Wilson's unusual cour
age than In her unusual scientific discov
eries. "Of course you had firearms," I said to
her with fiat assurance.
"Of course, I did not," she replied, her
sunburned face crinkling with laughter.
"Often I was absolutely alone, when the
Indians would go back on Saturday and
Sunday to their village, 10 miles away, and
the young man who assists me would be at
Santa Fe. I was not In the least afraid
nor lonesome, except it seemed to me so
selfish to have the whole universe at my
feet with no ono with me to Bhare the Joy,
The nights there are magnificent. First
came a fine sunset, then gorgeous Btars,
becoming steadily brighter and brighter
and fading only as the moon rose. Our
camp, sheltered by great rock pines, was
exquisite in the moonlight."
The only lure capable of taking Doctor
Wilson away from the picturesque beauty
of her wild camp was the prospect of a
real bath. To achieve this luxury of civili
zation It was necessary to go 20 miles to
Santa Fe at the cost of I 12. It was worth
the trouble and the money, she declares,
Much excavation remains to be done at
Otowl, but the woman who spends her sum
mer finding out how the people of a thou
sand years ago lived and had their being
transfers her thoughts to teaching the com
ing generation when she gets back to Phila
delphia; and the problems of pedagogy, I
could see as I bid her good-by were al
ready taking precedence over the more
romantic ones of archeology.
MAYORS FORCE PRICES DOWN
Butchers Who Threaten Lockout of
Customers Brought to Terms
by Vigorous Measures
A "lockout" of their customers by the
butchers of Normandy Is one of the lateit
developments In the resistance of the au
thorities to 'the manipulation of war prices
of food.
Mayor L. J. Oursel, of Evreux, fixed a
limit for the butchers' retail prices, the
butchers resisted and declared that the
people should have no meat Mayor Oursel
opened a municipal ahop, selling at the same
maximum price that he had Imposed upon
the butchers, and his profits were so quick
and considerable that he had no need to
draw on the capital voted by the Municipal
Council to keep the enterprise going. He
la making so much money for charities that
the people of Evreux are beginning to un
derstand why there are so many butchers
21 for a population of lesa than 19,000.
"That la just the trouble," replied the
butchers. "We are so numerous that If
the Mayor's business were divided equally
among us we would all lose money,"
The Mayors of France generally, com
paratively unconsidered officials In ordinary
times, occupying themselves mostly with
marriages, have found their chance In this
struggle against dear living; they are com
ing out strong. Mayor Chariot, of Pavilion-aous-Bols.
a small suburb of Farts, consid
ering dictation contrary to democratic prin
ciples, rejected the plan of fixing prices and
resorted to competition. His municipal
store has brought the price of potatoes
down from a cents to 1H cents a pound;
beefsteak from 30 cents to 15 cents, and
alt from 4 cents to 2 cents.
Mayor Fauquet, of Bendy, another sub
urb of Paris, and the Mayor of Enghlen,
the popular watering resort, put an end to
exaggerated profits of dealers In the same
.way.

Sixty nstronomera from tho most cele

continent met at SwnrUimore today for tlio
nineteenth annunl session of tho Amer can
Astronomical Society. Before the meetings
close Saturday nnnounccments of the latest
ndvanccs In the sclenco, discoveries of now
stars nnd comets and astronomical
phenomena will have been given to the
world. It Is tho society's custom to with
hold publication of the results of research
until tho annual meetings.
SPROUL WELCOMED THEM
State Senator William C. Sproul wel
comed tho delegates on behalf of Swarth
more. nnd his address was responded to by
Prof. E. C. Pickering, of Harvard. Doctor
Pickering remarked the Increasing Interest
In tho sclenco of astronomy and said the
public must be getting very much Interested
If one Judgea only from tnc gifts in tho form
of foundations and laboratories wealthy
men aro making.
A stir was caused by the entrance of
Prof. Susan J. Cunningham. She was the
teacher of Senator Sproul when he studied
mathematics and astronomy at Swarthmoro
and she made a little speech, telling of her
disappointment because he didn't amount
to more In a scientific way, but she felt a
bit of pride that he had become a success
ful man. Sho said he always gave some of
the credit for it to her and added that ho
had done something for nstronomy in a
material way by giving tho Sproul labor
atoryeven If he himself had not become a
great astronomer.
FrofosBor Cunningham made n lilt
Important announcements are expected to
come from the sesBlon, which opened In
Swarthmoro this morning. A discussion re
volved about tho nebular fields and tho
hypothesis that their contact with the
earth would be destructive.
The delegates, among whom are di
rectors of all tho important observatories
In this country, Canada nnd Mexico, nr
rived late last night and this morning for
the first session, which opened In the Sproul
observatory at 10 o'clock.
This followed a meeting of the council of
the society, at which plans for the conven
tion were discussed. Registration of the
visitors continued throughout the morning.
There will be a reception tonight at the
home of Prof John A. Miller, director of
tho Sproul observatory. After the recep
tion, If atmospheric conditions are favor
able, tho delegates will be offered the use
of the Sproul telescope, one of the largest
and best in the East.
WOMEN IN TROUSERS
ONE OUTCOME OF WAR
Masculine Dress Becoming More
Frequent Among Female
Workers in Britain
The wholesale withdrawal of men from
the commercial and Industrial ranks has
resulted In a huge substitution of female
labor for the purpose of maintaining the
Industrial output of the country. Many
hundreds of women are training to become
milkers and dairy hands. In Scotland and
Northumberland this Bort of work la being
regularly undertaken by women, while In
Devonshire nnd other countries milking Is
being done even by young girls before they
go to school.
"Women are at the lathe. In overalls and
cap. In the powder shed, working 12-hour
shifts on the motor busses or fashioning
metal, timber and leather, carting, driving
and distributing. Before the war it used
to be said that eery Jack had his trade.
The same can now be said of every Jill.
"Women in trousers are' becoming more
and more numerous, writes a London corre
spondent to the New York Sun. They are
donning them In greater numbers every
day. In order to cope with work where the
skirt is fqund to be a hindrance. They do
not dislike the change and It cannot be
said to detract In any way from their
native grace or carriage.
Napoleon, It seems, was a great believer
In arraying women In masculine, attire In
time of war. "Dress does not make the
man," says the proverb; but Napoleon
found that It made the women, and that
putting her Into trousers made a world of
difference to her work and strength.
Reliable EngllBh opinion Is Inclined to
encourage women to adopt masculine at
tire for what, after all, ought to be man's
work, convinced that so dressed woman will
give as good an account of herself as her
absent mate. Many thousands of women
and girls are serving the nation as muni
tion workers. The ministry of munitions
consider every case thoroughly, placing
the workers not only according to Industrial
fitness and home locality, but also with
thought for the lives women have previously
led and are likely to lead after the war.
Many of the women engaged In munition
work are art students, musicians, era
broldresses girl who had been engaged In
the fine arts and hope to be again. Once
drafted Into a factory, the worker are
specially looked after by the ministry as
to hours, accommodation and rate of pay
ment The wages are 15 a week as a mini
mum, and fit workers are soon able to
earn $15 to $29 a week by piecework.
The ministry pf munitions has estab
lished nearly 10 free training centers where
learners are prepared for the lighter varie
ties of munitions work. In the newly organ
ized air department. In the various Gov
ernment offices. In banks, insurance offices
and commercial establishment thousand of
young women are now .struggling with
stacks of official book. ledgers and official
documents.
ALL BUT 20 RESCUED
FROM LOST U. S. SHIP
Continued from rate One
p. m. yesterday, Is believed safe, but there
Is no word from her, .
Tho gunboat Castlne, which narrowly
escaped tho fato of tho Memphis, Is at sea
with all her boats but ono lost and her
steering gear disabled, Pond reported. The
ship, howover, Is under control.
The suddenness with which tho sea
struck the MemphlB vtns emphasized. Tho
water wna absolutely smooth until after 3
o'clock. A little more than an hour later
tho vessel was literally hurled on the rocks.
REPORT FROM POND.
The text of Pond's- latest dispatch fol
lows: "All hands off Memphis. Captain Beach
was the lost to leave tho ship. When storm
struck steam was up and main engines
working, but main steam lino burst. Cause
unknown. Those near too seriously Injured
to be questioned. Two officers Injured, but
will recover. Ono enlisted man dead, five
very seriously injured, flvo seriously In
jured, 67 slightly Injured, mostly In
engineer force. Several men missing,
probably drowned. Completo muster nnd
report expected this n. m. No other cas
ualties among officers."
The Memphis, formerly tho crulsor Ten
nessee, has had a unique career for nn
American warship, Her name only recently
was changed. She was launched In Decem
ber, 1904. She displaced 14,500 tons and
had horsepower of 27,370. Captain E. L.
Reach commanded her.
Two "International Incidents" marked her
eventful career. Ono came when ono of
her launches was fired on by a Turkish
fort at Smyrna while carrying Armenians
to Egypt. After explanations tho Turk
commander "expressed regrets." Tho other
occurred when members of tho Interna
tional High Commission decided suddenly,
while near a Peruvian port, not to disem
bark desplto all plan3 being arranged for
a banquet to the party. Plague reported
at the port caused tho change of plan.
The namo Tennessee was changed to
Memphis when the ship was ordered Into
tho cruiser class. Only battleships bear
the names of Stnte3. Cruisers aro named
after cities.
MEMPHIS, BUILT BY CRAMPS,
WAS ONCE LARGEST BATTLER
Launched in 1904 Put in Cruiser Class
in 1914
The cruiser Memphis was launched at
Cramps' shlpynrd on tho morning of Decem
ber 3, 1904, under tho name Tennessee.
Her namo was changed In 1914, when she
was put In the cruiser class. At the time
of tho launching she was tho largest ship
of any type In the Navy. She was 602
feet long and had a beam of 72 feet 10
Inches and a draft of 25 feet Her dis
placement was 14,500 tons. Her speed was
22.16 knots an hour, developing 27,370
horsepower. Sho carried 25 wardroom
otneers, 14 junior officers, 10 warrant
officers, 34 chief petty officers, 806 men
and 64 marines.
Her armament consisted of four 10-lnch
rifles, 16 6-Inch rapid firing guns. 22 3-Inch
rapid firing guns all of 60 calibre. The
vessel had four 21-Inch submerged torpedo
tubes. The Memphis was a sister ship of
tho Montana, North Carolina and "Wash
ington. She was delivered to the Govern
ment July 11, 1906, under the command ot
Captain A. G. Bailey.

CITIZENS DEMAND
ACTION BY MAYOR
Continued from Tnse One
up In his efforts to find the sources of evil
there. ., ,.
Tho more facts lie discovers, he said, the
more he Is convinced that tho machinations
of unscrupulous politicians Is tho Insldtoiis
Influence responsible for the corruption of
policemen.
I have been In politics for years. I
know what things nro done, nnd that
knowlodgo Is guiding me now. But I
never dreamed that politics could lend
men to do such things as I have dis
covered have been dono In Philadel
phia. My mind Ib made up, nnd I am
going to teach policemen thnt they can
not take orders from tho outsldo nnd
expect to get away with It.
It Is unfortunate that wo cannot dis
miss a great many policemen from the
force. Thero aro some I would Uko to
get rid of now, but tho law lays dowi
rules which must be followed.
But I have determined upon one
method of punishment for men who
violate the law and the rules of tho
department nnd who Btlll nro nblo to
prevent us from getting tho ovldenco
upon them
They nro going Into exllo to "Siberia."
Men who persist In following tho guid
ance of politicians seeking toprotcct
lawbreakers will bo sent to the vory
ends of the city. Instead of tho beats
which they refuso to cover according
to orders they will find themselves sud
denly sent to patrol the fringes of
Philadelphia. I should not think It
would be very pleasant tor a man to
have to walk around several miles of
trce3 all night. It would be particu
larly unpleasant when, In the silence of
tho weo hours, his mind reverts to tho
nlco beat he left behind, where the
monotony was broken ovcry little while
by tho sight of a familiar face.

of casualties, having only Admiral Pond's
preliminary report fixing the total at "more
