X-Bay Curls.
This discovery of another remari
abl? property of the X-rays was an
nounced last night by the chairman
of the education committee of the
London county council.
Many_ children in the council's
schools had been treated for scalp
troubles with X-rays, and it had beeu
noticed, he said, that amongst .the
beneficial. results of the treatment
was this-that it made their hair
curl.
The chairman even produced pho
tographs of curly-haired, children
whose curls.were the product of the
X-Hays, and these were handed for
inspection to the members.
If the curls so produced are at' aJl
permanent, this discovery will be
hailed. with delight by those ladies
who at present have to depend on
unsightly curl. papers and the dis
comfort of the hot curling tongs ro
produce a "natural wave" in the
hajr.
Li the future we may expect that
an X-ray apparatus will become part
of the equipment of every upto-date
ladies' hairdresser, and that with tlie
fashionable lady the X-ray wave will
supercede the Marcel' wave. .
Yet, despite this, the parents of
the children treated in the council's
scLccb ...'j inclined to think the
treatment injurious, said the chair
man last night. In fact, it had prov
ed generally beneficial.

Seams bf quartz, containing i^ore

CROSS IN THE 41ST
Great Contest of Little Fellows.
Round After Round the Honors
Were Even.
San Francisco.-Dick Hyland knock
ed out Leach Cross in the forty-first
round of their forty-five round fight
Saturday at tho Colina arena.'
Betting at the ringside on the
match was even. Some wagers were
made at ten td nine, however, with
Cross favorite. The weather was
cold and foggy and the attendance
light.
Among the well known fighters
introduced in the ring were Young
Corbett, Billy Papke, Johnny Frayne,
and several lesser lights. The crowd
yelled for Stanley Ketchel, but he
failed to respond.
At the end of the fifth round both
men were fresh, as no considerable
damage had been done by either. Hon
ors were slightly in favor of Cross.
The latter's footwork was good and
his blows were delivered with a cal- j
culation to do damage. After taking
two vicious left uppercuts in the Jaw,
Cross came back with two straight

. During ?the next five rounds honors
were about even with Cross using
straight rights and lefts and Hyland,
occasionally landing hard swings. Hy-1
land planted two hard lefts in Cross'
stomach, but ike Easterner, by fast [
and clever footwork, managed to avoid )
many of his opponent's leads.
Tho end of tho fifteenth round saw
Cross worried and Hyland decidedly
in the lead for the first time during
the fight. The .trelIth, after a s^y
ave assault in whici Hyland took con
siderable punishment. Cross went to
the floor for three seconds under a
straight right. Hyiand's face was
badly damaired. but he was landing
damaging puiches at every oppor
tunity.
In tho twenty-first round a left up
percut to the jaw sent Cross to the
floor, but only for an dnstant. . Round
after round Cross kept backing away,
trying to force Hyland to cover. But
Hyland, always foxy, never gave the
opening Cross was looking for.
In the twenty-third round Hyland)
swung two punishing lefts to the jaw,
In the next round Cross, still going j
away, dazed the Californian with a!
right chop on the jaw. Round twenty
five was a rapid exchange of vicious
blows, with Cross somewhat distress
ed.
In tho fortieth Hyland pushed his
clinging opponent away, and Cross
surprised the spectators by swinging
two hard lefts to the jaw. In the
forty-first Cross came up fighting, but
was sent to the rones with a hard
right to the Jaw. He dropped to the
floor, and remained for the count Of
pine. He agjlu &!*-erred to the cen

the jaw apparently an invulnerable
point, suddenly changed his tactics,
and sent a. terrific right in Cross'
stomach. He dropped to the mat al
most lifeless and was counted fout.

KLAUS IS OUTPOINTED

Klaus Greatly Handicapped by Having

when he -faced Hugo Kelly, of Chica

Italian, but as.dt was, he consented to

worse beating than he handed his op
ponent in their six-round contest Just
what led George Engel, who is Klaus'
manager, to agree to clean breaks
was 'more than anyone could fathom,
but lt undoubtedly was a big mistake
on his part
Klaus never b?fore fought at that
style, and was entirely lost. Everyone
present could see that lt was new to
the local fighter, as he forgot himself
on'many occasions and'hit Tn clinches. .
Kelly,, however, was right at home,
and landed rights and lefts in quick
succession to Klaus' face and body.

Frank was not ?nly handicapped at
the strange style of fighting, but he
still showed the effects of his illness
which' had caused the battle to be
postponed until last night, the original
date being last Wednesday. When
he entered the ring .he was extreme
ly pale, and could harly speak owing
to a sore throat
K?lly was not only much taller
than . Klaas, hut appeared to have a
few pounds the better In weight. His
height combined with his cleverness,
enabled him to carry off the honors
of the evening.
Klaus would sail in with head
down and. attempt to plant right and
left to Kelly's head, 'but nearly every
time the Windy City mitt-wielder
would step back and uppercut with
both hands. While Tais blows cut
Klaus a ?good deal they never slowed
him up ?Jid every second of the six
rounds the local artist was forcing the
fighting, not even breaking ground
when Kelly would start a rally, which
he did, cn more than one occasion.
Kelly showed that he did not hold
Klaus cheaply and fought a careful
battle throughout, timing nearly every
blow and watching every movement of
his opponent
It was not until the third round that
the two ?got going right, the Hi st and
second hising taken up in feeling each
other out. The second round did not

their mark failed to do any damage to
the rugged "Elast Pittsburger.
. Klaus used his right to advantage
and more than once jolted Hugo with
a hard one to the head.. Kelly's stom
ach was not any too strong and when
Klaus would send'in a lift or right to
that part of hl? anatomy, the visitor
would take on a; distressed look.
Owing to the mies under which

Knowledge of Social Life-Warns

Boston, Mass. -? Professor George
Herbert Palmer, of Harvard, sixty
seven years old, twice wed and re
ported to be ^contemplating a third
venture in matrimony, his next bride
to be a Wellesley professor, has come
forward with the statement that a lit
tle flirting, properly conducted, of
course, is not only advisable, but
even imperative, for the average col-,
lege boy and girl.
"Flirting is the stirest road toward
the proper knowledge of social life,"
says the professor, who has the dis
tinction of being the oldest member
of the Harvard faculty,. and whose
second wife, Alice Freeman Palmer,
was president of Wellesley College
from 1881 to 1887.
j "I think the girls of Radcliffe and
the boys of Harvard devote too much
of their time to study. They actually
bury themselves In their books, and
the result is that when they get
through college they don't know a
thing about social life.
, "They Bhould mingle a little frivol
ity with their studies - In other
words, they should flirt a little. Were
I to advise the boys of Harvard or
the girls of Radcliffe, I would tell
them to go around and' see things
more than they do.
"I am always reminded of a girl
graduate of Radcliffe, who studied so
hard that she got the reputation Qf
being over-studious. She never went
anywhere. While the other girls

Monk, when called upon afterward to

imputation which had been cast upon
her. Notwithstanding that, she went
home, determined to die rather than
face her comrades in the exchange.
Before she drank the acid she wrote

the fact that she had bsen repri

was graduated with high honors, and
when I was bidding her good-bye I
told her that she had a task before
her.
"She thought I would say some
thing in regard to work, but, contrary
to her anticipations, I told her that
she would have to flirt good and hard
to make up for lost time, and ste said
that she would.
"Of course, it makes a good deal of
difference who does the flirting,
where and with whom. The time,
the place and the boy and girl have a
good deal to do with lt If all could
see the tired-out boys and girls that I
see, all would, I know, admit that a
little bit of flirting now and then
would be a real vacation for them.
"I have three lectures a week at
Radcliffe, and it. is surprising how
many young girls are letting the very
best part of their lives go by without
having the least blt of enjoyment.
There are many boys here at Harvard
who do not know what social life
means. They study from the time
they enter school until they graduate.
"Of course, there are some who do
nothing but fool away their time; I
do not mean to say that that is what
I uphold, for it is not. What I mean
is to mix things up a bit, sprinkle a

, WASHINGTON NOTES .
The Senate concluded its discus?
sion of the schedules of the tariff
bill Monday and is now ready for the
corporation and .income tax ques
tions. Senator Aldrich introduced a
resolution proposing an amendment to
collect the taxes' 'on incomes from
whatever source derived and without
apportionment among thc several
States.
An increase in the duty on struc
tural iron and steel valued at more
than 9-10 of a cent per, pound was
made by the Senate, the increase be
ing from 3-10 to 4-10 of.a cent per
pound. Cotton bagging was placed
onVthe free list.
Ineffectual' efforts were made to
place cotton ties, school books, bind
ing twine and salt on the free list
and Egyptian cotton on the dutiable
list.
'What is whiskey?" was discuss
ed in the Cabinet room of the "White
House. President Taft listening to
attorneys for rectifying distilleries
and blenders, who oppose the recent
decision of Solicitor General Bowers
as to what should be labeled 'imita
tion whiskey." The hearing will ba
continued.

After defeating Senator Tillman's
amendment for a tax of 10 cents a
pound on tea^ bv a vote pf 18 to 55,
thus concluding the schedules-jof the
tariff bill, the Senate took up the
income and corporation tax questions.
Senator Aldrich said he would sup
port the corporation tax amendment
.as a means of defeating the income
tax, expressing the opinion that the
tax would be repealed after two years
or the rate materially lowered. The
Democrats held that this position
was a subterfuge on Mr. Aldrich's
part to destroy the income tax. Sen
ator Flint, who will have ch?rge of
I the corporation tax amendment, spoke
in favor of it. Senator Cummins in
favor of the income tax; and Sen
ator Dixon in favor of an inheritance '
tax, although the latter said he would
vote for the corporation tax Senator
Flint said the corporation tax would
yield, in his opinion, a revenue of
$40,000,000 to $50,000.000 a year.
Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Yeagh made a call on national bank
depositories for a return to Treas
ury of government funds approximat
ing $25,000,000.
. . .
Income and corporation tax ques
tions were discussed Thursday in the
Senate. .Among those who spoke
were Senator Root, of New York,
who advocated the corporation and/
opposed the income tax; Senator
Borah, of Idaho, who took opposite
sides with Mr. Root; and Senators
Owen and Clapp, who favored the
income tax.
