Grew, secretary of the American embassy, has been making regarding the deportation of Belgian laborers. The reply is expect- ed to follow much the same lines as that made to the Belgian protest through the Spanish Government, the substance of which was published in the North German. Gazette this morn- ing. The result of Secretary Grew’s con- ference with Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg on the subject probably will be that while the principle of using unem- ployed Belgians in Germany will be ad- hered to, pains will be taken to see that it is accurately applied. It is ex- plained that it has not always been pos- sible to prevent the measure being ap- plied to Belgians not of the unemployed classes, but that greater care is now be- ing exercised, and that with the use of Belgian lists it is thotight the meastre can be restricted solely to the classes which it is designed to affect.

The letter to Gen. von Bissing, after referring to the suffering already caused by the German occupation, says: “But now a new violence falls upon and tears apart our families. Hundreds thousands of peaceable citizens of all ages and conditions—a civil population— have been abruptly and brutally snatched from their firesides and de- ported into Germany.

Schwartz said that if the bill is passed and subsequently is reviewed by the courts, the city’s right to compel the observance of the original franchise, in- cluding a provision for a 5-cent fare between St. Louis and Granite City, will be determined.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Preliminaty work on the 1918 national defense pro- gram moved forward vesterday in both of Badger the naval and military committees Rear Admiral the the former and Quart?r- House with Fletcher, before the and of navy’s general board, master-General Sharpe again before the latter. The two Admirals told of the board's recommendation for an enormous in- crease in size and power and a smaller increase in speed for the battleships to be provided for at this session of Con- gress. Because of the tendency of Euro- pean navies to build even larger ships and guns, and because there is reason to believe that Japan a:ready has under construction a more powerful ship than has vet been planned for the United States, Admiral Badger said the board felt* it necessary that the American Navy follow a similar policy. He said the board had recommended gain bat- teries of twelve 16-inch guns, an in- crease of fifty per cent in gun power over 1917 ships, and a speed of 283 knots an hour. A statement Daniels indicates that the recommenda- tions of the board will be approved when the department's opinion is taid before the committee. The new dread- noughts will displace probably more than 40,000 tons as against the 32,000 for the California class and succeeding ships. yen. military issued by Secretary before .the that the recruiting Increase Sharpe brought out committee the fact army atill far behind in for the 1917 increment of the in strength already authorized. His statement was in line with that of Major-General Hugh L. Scott. Chief of Staff, in his annual report, made public yesterday. Gen. Scott declared that universal military training and service would be the only solution to the recruiting problem Universal service also came up at the naval committee hearing, admiral Radger saying that this was the ‘one grand answer’ to all problems of ob- taining crews for navy ships.

Wr ene LONDON, Dee. 9.—Lioyd George's cabinet will be non-partison and will meet the popular demand for a business government. It will not be a coalition cabinet in the sense of Asquith’s cd- because Asquith had the parties, including ministration, co-operation of all the Irish Nationalist§. The Liberal meeting at the Reform Club yesterday decided that the old Liberal leaders would constitute an op- position party in the House of Com- mons, although the opposition would be one of helpful criticism. A surprise was the announcement made by Viscount Grey in the Liberal conference that Arthur J. Balfour would succeed him in the Foreign Of- fice, with Lord Robert Cecil continuing as assistant. Lord Curzon, qualified by former service in the Foreign Office, and with a brilliant record as Indian vice- roy, had been thought assured of the honor. The choice of Balfour aroused instant protest from papers which rated him as one of the aged “wait and see’ echool. Law for the Exchequer. Bonar Law for Chancellor of the Ex- chequer is a popular selection, as he combines business aud political exper- ience. Equal approval is given to Lord Derby as head of the War Office, and Dr. Addison as the Minister of Muni- tions, but the proposal of Sir Edward Carson for the Admiralty finds less favor. Lord Curzon will have one of the highest posts and will be leader of the government in the House. Col. Winston Churchill apparently is to re- main ou. This nucleus, with a number of prac- tical business men in other positions, is considered to make a strong showing. Premier Lloyd-George’s program is for the re-organization of the country for war on a sweeping socialistic basis, and the general comment is that only a cabinet of supermen can accomplish and conduct such a revolution. In addition to the nationalization of shipping. mines and agriculture. drastic reforms in the drink problems and the temporary settlement of the chaos in Ireland are discussed as the major tasks confronting the new administration in the home field. Opinions of the Preaa. The expected appointment of Mr. Bal.- four and lard Robert Cecil to the foreign c*fice is welcomed in the Lon- don press, except by Lord Northcliffe's newspapers. Even the Post which as been bitter against the Asquith Gov- ernment, speaks of Balfour's stanch attitude throughout the recent crisis, but says there may be some doubts as to whether hie delicate methods in handling the affairs in the foreign of- fice will be able to counter the robust methods of the Germans.

PART OF PLAN: 10 RAISE STATE FUNDS Body it Created Would Have Power to Equalize Assessments Throughout Missouri. ——————————— TAX COMMISSION ] dorsed - by . The conference on taxation Planters Hotel yesterday, called by Gov.-elect Gardner to consider plans for raising additional revenue to'meet the requirements of the State Gov- ernment, agreed to recommend to the Legislature the creation of a Tax Commission with power to equalize taxes throughout the State. Many of the proposals for raising new revenue, suggested ty the Gov- ernor-elect, were opposed by meém-/ bers of the conference. Of those pro- poseai only the following were ac- cepted, and a committee was appoint- ed to investigate their constitution- ality before final recommendation is made to the Legislature: An increase in the collateral in- heritance tax from 5 to 7% per cent, A secured debt tax which will require the registry of bonds for - taxation. : A graduated inheritance tax. Submission to the people of a constitutional] amendment au- thorizing an income tax. Increase in the dramshop li- cense tax from $300 to $500 a year. A mortgage-recording tax. A tax on pool halls. A poll tax was strongly} many members of the conference. There was also opposition to a tax on moving picture shows and soft drinks. Gardner Assumes Responaibility. Some members of the conference, who are also members of the Legis- lature, showed such opposition to the tax measures proposed by Gardner that the Governor-elect declared that opposed by at the; Whether , would pay Judsen, Prof. Isidor Leeb of the University of Missouri and Cor- nelius Roach, Secretary of State. It was opposed by Attorney -General- elect F. W. McAllister and State Sena- tor John Morton of Richmond. Prof. Loeb and Judson expressed the opin- ion that under the present Constitu- tion the Legislature has power to create such a commission and confer upon it the power to supervise asvess- ments in‘evéery county and change any individual assessments made by local Assessors. McAllister said that al- though he had not studied the sut- ject exhaustively he did not think the Legislature had this power. There was considerable discussion gf the proposed mortgage recording tax, the principal question being as to the lender or the borrower the tax. It was finally agreed that ultimately the borrower would pay the tax, but E. K. Love of the St. Louis Real Estate Exchange, and others members of that body, be- lieved the interest rate would be .low- ered because the proposed bill con- templated exempting mortgages from any other personal property tax It was estimated by members of the Real Estate Exchange that such a tax would yield nearly $1,000,000 annu- ally, instead of the $300,000 given in Gardner’s estimate. Secretary of State Roach, who by vir- tue of his office is a member of the State Board of Equalization, declared that the State Board does not have power to raise all assessments to full cash value, but only to adjust assess- ments of counties as units according to whether they are assessed too high or too low in-.reference to other counties. Even if it had that power, he said, it would not have time, since all its mem- bers are burdened with extensive duties in connection with the conduct of their regular State offices. lor this reason Secretary Roach urged a special State Tax Commission and he thought it should be empowered to go into the counties and review the work of the local Assessors, raising the as- sessment’ wherever it had been returned too low. He advocated a tax on capital stock of corporations which he thought would produce $1,000,000 revenue a year, at the same time operating to squeeze the water out of the capitalization. He piso asserted the State is greatly in need of more revenue. ee ST.LOUIS POST-DISPATCH CLUBS JOIN IN’ NEW GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT Will Be Known as son Road Association — Fund Starts With $9500. The Federated Road Associations, for- mally organized at a meeting. at the Missouri Athletic Association last night, subscribed $950 as the nucleus of a fund which will be used to promote the build- ing of good county, State and national highways in Missouri and in those por- tions of Illinois which are tributary to St. Louis. Organizations represented at the meet- ing were the Business Men’s League, Associated Retailers, St. Louis Clearing House Association, Automobile Club of St. Louis and the Automobile Dealers’ and Manufacturers’ Association. It is expected that civic organizations in other cities and towns: in Missouf and Illinois will join in the movement. The plan is to concentrate the prevail- ing good roads sentiment into an organ- ized body which will supervise and pro- mote all movements for better high- Ways. A permanent secretary and a field staff of lecturers will be appointed At expert lawyer and an engineer will be retained to give their advice and services free to any county, farmers’ organization or commercia! body which has road problems to be solved. Membership in the Federated Road Associations has been fixed at $100 and it is expected that at least $25,000 will be raised. Subscribing organizations are entitled to one membership for each $100 con- tributed. On this basis the contributions made last night were: Autwmobile Club of St. Louis, $4000 for 40 memberships; As- sociated Retailers, $2500 for 2 member- ships: Business Men's League, $2000 for 20 memberships and the Automobile Dealers’ and Manufacturers’ Associa- tion, $1000\for 10 memberships. The following officers were elected: Daniel C. Nugent, president; Kdward M. Flesh, first vice president; Harry B.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Dec. 9.—Henry Clay Arbuttle, the 19-year-old youth who convinced business men here that he had discovered a wonderful new process for making dyes, has been brought back to Milwaukee to stand trial for the al- leged larceny of $8000 worth of platinum which, it is charged, he tried to sell in New York. He declares the charge is baseless, as he was employed by the Milwaukee company which was formed to back his experiments, at $10,000 a year, with a $10,000 bonus as soon as he perfected the process. To support nis contention that the charge of theft is fridiculous, he points to the fact that he was employed at a larger salary than the platinum represented, and that he was a third owner of the company. He ar extradition in New York. PUTS ST.

No Special Taxation Devices. Under the Wisconsin plan it is not necessary for the State to resort to all sorts of taxation devices, as in Missouri, to raise revenue. By a fair assessment of all property a sufficient revenue is raised to meet the financial require- ments of the State, without resorting to the imposition of special taxes upon, various kinds of business. To illustrate: The brewing industry of Wisconsin is almost as large as the brewing industry in Missouri, yet Wis- consin does not impose any taxes upos the brewing industry, other than the di- rect property taxes, while Miggouri .e- rives a revenue of approximately %509,- 000 a year from beer inspection fees. Wis- consin does not have to depend upon the various kinds of inspection fees imposed in Missouri to provide State revenue Examination of the reports of the Wis consin Treasurer shows that with the exception of departmental and instit'.- tional receipts amounting to supproxi- mately $2,000,000 a year, all the revenue comes from direct taxation. While the Missouri University § is struggling along under an income of ap- proximately $1,000,000 a year, the Wis- consin University is spending in round numbers $3,000,000 a year. The Wisconsin University takes rank among the first universities of the United States. The college of agricul- ture of the Wisconsin University spent $610,951 last year, the expense of this department being larger than that of any other department of the university. Wisconsin is spending vast sums of money to scientificaNy educate its farm- ers. The university owns large experi- mental farms of all kinds. It has splen- didly equipped laboratories and bulld- ings. In addition to the money spent on the college of agriculture of the univer- sity, Wisconsin contributed last year $40,596 to county schools of agriculture and domestic economy, and $156,954 to county agricultural ‘societies. In addition to the $3,000,000 that Wis- consin spends on its university, it spent $772,000 on its normal schools for the training of teachers «uring the past year, and contributed to the counties, for public schools and/ other educational purposes, a total of $3,145,831. While the State was spending approxi- mately $8,000,000 for educational purposes, the counties of Wisconsin raised by tax- ation for school purposes $12,209,194. The entire disbursement for education in Wisconsin during the 13 months ending June 9%, 1916, was slightly in excess of $20,000,000: of which 40 per cent was dis- tributed b the State government. How the Farmer Benefits. While the Wisconsin farmer pays his fair share of taxes, he derives great benefits from the State Government. Wisconsin is not satisfied merely witn educating its rural population. For the fiscal year ending June 30, the State contributed $1,1%,483 to the coun- ties for building roads. Under State supervision there have been constPucted over 2000 miles of hard surfaced roads in Wisconsin The hard surfaced roads in ae sin, if laid down in Missouri, ae ar form seven complete, permanent roads 3 3 between St. Louis and Kansas City.

JOSEPH PULITZER. April 10, 1907. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Voluntary Increase of Wages. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. ° Many patrons of your paper found pleasure in reading of the voluntary increase in wages by the various Eastern companies to their employes, as announced in your issue of Nov. 29; First, because of its moral effect upon those directly affected, and also upon the public mind generally. Second, because of the community of interest manifested by such generous and voluntary acts. These companies knew of the struggles of their work people and the burdens they were striving to carry and closed not their eyes to the needs, but came to the front as men, practically putting their shoulder under the load. “Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of thése my brethren ye did it unto me.”’—John 25-40. The Standard Oil Co., in the increase of wages to their employes, shows by inference a minimum wage to unskilled workers. For instance, before the increase all unskilled workers were receiving $2.20 per day; they will now receive $2.50 per day. Another very desirable feature which will at- tract attention fs the action of the Miller Lock Co. of Philadelphia. While giving their work people & 10 per cent increase in wages, they also reduce -th@.number of hours per week from 55 to 50. . This: 7 “instance, as this company employs 1000 hands it * * will take 99 more hands to produce the same re- » .. sults per week than ft formerly did, granted that '-. each. person works at the same rate as formerly ~~ or before the reduction hours per week took ef- ; fest. | » % . 1 am 6ure the general public will not fail to ap- '. preciate the good news you have published, neither > will they underestimate the value of,such public- fie spirited mem, who have voluntarily accepted a share of responsibility for the well being of their . employes. ; For instance, people will begin to think that there are those who do care whether they live or t not. _ Again, it may be the means of awakening a © senee Of responsibility in others who‘up to the & *present have not yet realized how far they might .(b@ conBidered responsible in elation to the Sightened circumstances under which many of ' employes are merely existing. , be | ® must ask your indulgence, dedr editor, if an , appeal to St. Louis.

If in recapitulation we look East we . find the minimum wage to unskilled workers is » | $2.50 @ day, and looking further in the same direc- tea tion @ voluntary reduction of hours with an in- _ crease of wages. Can the heads of St. Louis firms or corpora- be tions close their eyes and ears to the expressions 4 % of interest shown by so many business concerns all other cities in the well-being of their work "} people? I.do not think so. I cannot but believe. on “that on reflection St. Louis will come to the front. ~*, Will those who are still paying from 16 to 18 cents / ~ per hour kindly reflect on this question after eat- ing a good dinner and ask themselves on the level: Is it possible for my work people to even exist on i. such wages? ; Finally, I do not consider it presumptuous to claim that. the minimum wage for the most menial _ kind of labor should be $2.50 per day. An emer- |) ®ency certainly exists, calling for immediate ac- ne tion, which should be taken without delay.

On one day we have a gloomy manffesto from Comptroller Player, informing us that the city is on the verge of bankruptcy and that financially everything is going to the bow-wows. On almost the next day announcement is made that the city tax rate is to be reduced by 10 cents. ” “What ig the explanation of the startling shift’ It is, of course, political, not fiscal. Candidates and parties will have to go before the people at the spring election. Those in a position to do so wish to gain all the favor that might possibly ac- crue from a cut in the tax payments. The object 1s an unworthy. one. ‘Tt is the more to be condemned because ‘ft’ will be futile. The reduction will really amount to less than five per cent on the actual total of individual tax pay- ments, which in most cases will be too small to be appreciated, almost too small to be perceptible. The man who has been paying $10 in taxes on his ‘cottage or household effects will find that the sum he has to pay next year has been decreased by only 40 or 50 cents. It is not enough to make him grateful to Mayor Kiel or anybody else and if he understands how the reduction has been made possible he may be incensed. For, of course, any reduction in the rate would be unthinkable from the standpoint of sound city finance but for the accumulated arrears of the mill tax. The politicians have been itching to run their hands up to the elbow into this tempting ac- cumulation, but the almost universal desire, among Others, is that it should be reserved for some of the larger special purposes in city im- provements. For a satisfying disposition of this fund, the administration is going to be held to a strict ac-' countability. The 10 per cent cut in the tax rate deceives nobody and will be a source of weakness, not strength, in the election. == — — — ON QUOTING SCRIPTURE. That was a brilliant stroke by which Police Judge Hogan confounded a prisoner the other day, but may it not have been rather risky. Accused of being a fortune teller, a woman declared she Was a regularly ordained pastor of the Church of Divine Inspiration, founded upon the Bible. Asked to quote something from the Book of Books, she confessed her inability to remember a single pas- sage, whereupon the Judge fined her $200. ,Qne trembles to think what would have hap- pened ita certain old skinflint who once went ‘to’ the ‘penitentiary from Southeast Missouri for horse stealing had been in her place.

It was in the old “Black Hussar,” was it not, that the village With a population of reversible belligerent sentiment used to be shown? On the outskirts was a signboard which had a welcome to one army on,one side and an equally cordial welcome to the Opposing army on the other. At the bottom of the post was a clanking ratchet mechanism for turning the sign with the greatest possible rapidity, according as victory perched it- self on the banner of the one army or the other.

A contrast bright in optimistic cheer is found in the reception of the good news when it pene- trated to the great potato belt of the North. «© ‘Here, becausé of some secret of soil or climate, potatoes can be raised with less labor and in far greater yields than cereals and other crops. Very grim is the struggle for existence on the part of the occupants of the rude, unattractive rural dwellings, some mere tar-paper shacks, standing in the midat of brown clearings. . At this end of the potato’s cycle from producer “oO consumer, the price is ordinarily about 25 or 80 cents a bushel. In some disastrous years it falls as low as 5 cents. Seasons are recalled when thousands of unsalable bushels have been thrown out by the wayside, at the waste of the labor of cultivation and of hauling part of the crop to market. The receipt this year of 50 per cent more per peck than the maximum price per bushel of former years has had agreeable ef- fects recorded as follows: One poor man who bought a little farm for $1000 last spring, chiefly on credit, has cashed $1400 worth of drafts for his potato crop. Thirty mortgaged acres of wilted tops, thor- oughly devastated by the drouth, which were about to be plowed up by the Owner the first wee. in September have so far yielded him $1800 and he has a few hills yet to dig. After paying the entire purchase price of a newly-cleared farm one man has $1000 to the good from this season's potato crop. A crippled farmer managed to have a smal)! field planted with Potatoes last spring, Lut lacked the means to get them dug this fall. His generous neighbors, busy with harvesting thelr own crop, tanded togetner to dig his Potatoes, place a store tn his cellar and market the rest. The unfortunate was handed a draft for nearly $400, more monty than he has seen at one time in 20 years. After ruling at $1.50 for several weeks, the price is now $1.65 a bushel to the grower, Instances in which growers have received five times as much for their potato crop as the price at which their entire farms were valued prior to the present are said to number hundreds. Wisconsin and Michigan are racing to be the first to hang up in its Statehouse a varnished and formaldehyded sacred potato to match the sacred codfish of Boston Common. With prophetic in- stinct the Michigan fathers 75 years &go placed “Tuebor” on the State coat of arms. +> aney aie vy - THE BLACK-EYE CURE. Really there is not the slightest reason in the world why a chorus man should not make an epochal discovery. If a tinker could invent the steam engine and a tentmaker could write an im- mortal poem, why should the chorus man be de- nied a chance for deathless fame? One does not know, although, somehow, the world scarcely ex- pects it of him. What then shall be said for the St. Louis chorus man who, after all these years, has found a specific remedy for the artistic tem- perament? Found it, too, in one of those bursts of inspiration which are the hallmark of genius? Everybody knows what artistic temperament is. It is a kind of calamity that overtakes a man the first time he opens his weekly pay envelope and finds more than $50 in it. Actors, musicians, dancers, painters, writers, baseball players and cooks are especially susceptible, while hodcarriers and politicians are almost invariably immune, Its characteristic symptom is an irresistible im- pulse to do things for which they lock people up out in the City Sanitarium. One of our most popular theatrical stars had a seizure the other evening. He may have found a hair in the prandial goulash or perhaps somebody in the orchestra flatted a B-natural. At any rate, he put on a little storm and in the course of the irruption he found the chorus man in his pathway. The chorus man looked him over and then coolly whanged him in the eye. Observe the result. The temperamental fit passed as by magic. Before long the star and the chorus man were pumping each other’s hand and each was telling the other he was a topping sport and a deuced fine fellow. “Sometimes there is nothing,’ observed a pro- found French philosopher, ‘“‘so good for a poor young man, who has to make his own way in the world, as a sound kick, intelligently and efficient- ly placed.” Is it not to be assumed that there is nothing so salubrious for the artistic temperament as a well-timed right hook? “+ Oe Anything new? O yea! New taxes. THE GREAT AMERICAN GAME, By Charlotte Rumbold. The great American game is not baseball, but going on committees. Baseball is confined to one season, one sex and one age. Committees are of both sexes, begin with the nursery, and some- imes a committee manages the funeral and runs all the year. The American genius is not for pyramids, nor parthenons, nor peachblow porcelains, but for the organization of society. It is on our com- mittees that we learn the art of democracy which is to be our contribution to the ages. It is said that when three Americans have the same idea, the best known immediately becomes president, the wealthiest becomes treasurer, and the cleverest secretary. Just now throughout the whole State of Missouri, every tenth one is out for reform and is straining at the leash for Jef- .ferson City. Even the afternoon bridge players and the younger dancing set want-to be “kept in touch with”’—prison reform, the children’s code, workmen’s compensation, eight hours for women. A committee must be made up in a democratic manner. That is the essential point in a com- mittee’s makeup, its democracy. The combina- tion of a Fourth street banker and a labor leader ball marks any committee. If a Jewish rabbi, a Catholic priest, a professor of sociology and a suffragist can be added, that committee has front enough to do anything. Anybody could join that committee, even the most exclusive I. W. W. person. The question what to do with the representa- tive names that must be printed in the upper righthand column of the letterhead is always a delicate one. Second vice presidents is a tactful thing to call them, or advisory committee. They have to be put where they can’t interfere, of course, but you have to have them for their moral support. Sometimes the wife of a name will do— you might even get some work out of her. The treasurer makes up the finance committee by the usual Peter and Paul arrangement, of the men to whose pet reforms he himself has lately sent checks. Then when the secretary has or- ganized the publicity committee of one represen- tative from each newspaper and the department. store heavy advertisers, finally the one or two fanatics who are the mainspring of the whole re- form are permitted to get into action. Jefferson City is going to be crowded with the Don Quixotes this winter—and the Donnas. Some of them are coming home on their ‘ shields— especially if their reforms “win.” “Life, all golden and bloody,” is the plea of the idealist, but the extreme usefulness of the half-loaf is the talking point of the successful reform. ooo - ‘*‘THANKS FOR THE ADVICE.’’ From the ..ew York Telegram. To the honest citizens who advise us to boycott eggs for two veeks or months or so and see how the price will drop we can only say we doubt it. Speculators who bought ergs last April and May at 20 cents a dozen or less and rushed them into cold storage until the price touched 70 to 90 cents, under existing conditions will’ do the self-same thing next April and next November, Let us boycott eggs until next April, if you like. The fresh eggs will go into storage just the same, and we shall get the at least 10-month eges a little cheaper and much older and in in- stances nastier. We are advised to eat fish, skimmed milk, oleo- margarine, American cheese, dried beans and peas, rice, macaroni, hominy and oat meal. Why? Especially why beans?

I have one good time when the holiday season draws near, and I think it is lots of fun to do Christmas shopping. Why, I can just see the happy excite- ment that will be pictured on May’s face when she gets that bracelet I just purchased.’”’ At this point the speaker moved out of hearing. She was probably buying only for those she cared about. In Christmas giving the heart should dic- tate the gift. At this season many presents are made for services rendered during the year, but if these are not the result of real gratitude the gift had better be omitted. Then, again, the grat- itude may be real, but the means be lacking. In that case have the courage to omit the gift. Just so eliminate all compulsory gifts from your shopping list. Give out of the fullness of the heart. Sad to say, the concluding remarks of the first speaker show a prevalent cus- tom, but one that cannot be too strongly denounced. It is these selfish acts that detract so much from the pleasure of Ghristmas giving and destroy the true Yuletide spirit. If you cannot put the good will into every gift, omit your Christmas shopping this year. If you do select gifts, consider the taste and environment of the recipient, and if a thing isn't good enough for you, don't pass it on to another, and thereby add to the large band of cynics whose cry is: ‘‘Abolish Christmas gift making.’’ ee a ee - Sein -tiiete Fragments for | .

Dr. Fisk paused while I I always do, at any tribute to the sac- rificial tenderness of woman. And in the middle of_ this. pleasant glow Dr. isk broke in with his third because— “Because THEY EAT TOO MUCH. Women as much as men. They Should eat a third less,’’ continued the inexorable physician. ‘*‘Their bodies require less food.,’’ “Even when they glowed, as eat follow the sante oc- ! inquired anxiously. ‘‘Even “We need food repair the waste of the muscle ihe tiny little engines of the body. Women have less muscle than The fact creates woman's beauty. woman's beauty matter - of Oi tell Dr. Fisk his views of beauty were unfashionable, though I agree with them. But I wondered how sroadway would take him—Broadway with its cult of the human reedbird, per- haps, because it takes half a dozen reed- birds to make a meal. ‘“‘Manv women eat too much meat,” Dr. l’isk continued. ‘‘Meat, fish and eggs are the repair foods of the muscle cells r engines.

Experiment has established the ereater mental and physical vigar of vegetable eaters over meat eaters,’ Dr. Fisk said. “The woman who wants to keep young should ent lightly ana frequently. Heavy nieals are an error; a bad habit. Following the Gleams of Hope Prolongs Life. “Another Ganger to those whe want to keep young,’ continued Dr. Fisk, ‘is emotional waste. Women spend them- selves in Worry, in anger, !n all sorts of flurries of emotion that get them no- where except nearer old age.’”’ ‘Lack of emotion has never kept any- [f said. “Women who cease ‘upations?’’ then,”’ Dr. prirfcipally Fisk replied.

What is the right age marriage?” America Has Much to Learn in Mating the Young. “Mating in this country is conducted in a very haphazard and foolish man- ner,’’ Dr. Fisk answered. “It is left entirely to accident and propinquity. A young girl goes to a summer resort, meets a young man who proposes to her, and there, she is settled for life. We can learn a great deal from the older coun- tries about mating. In France marriages are arranged by the parents. Young men and women are brought together delib- erately because of their fitness to mate. This is true, too, of the English upper class, which has produced some of the greatest men. “The whole human race is too apt to mistake accumulated knowledge for progress. ‘There is no man living as great as Socrates, Archimedes, or, tak- ing the Egyptian civilization, some of ee oe a ee “And for — ne ee oe oe eee _ -_ ( RANCE, the mother of so many - things which contribute to modern progress, fairly may be credited with the first suggestion of the postage stamp in use today. J wr it was in 1653, during the joint regency of Anne of Austria and Mazarin, that the latter, made desperate constant thefts of valuable packages in the hands of mounted messengers, hit upon the de- vice of a sealed envelope bearing the Government stamp, the carriage of which, prepaid by the sender, was pro- tected by a special guard of couriers. Quickly the use of sealed and guarded envelopes, at first designed for the ex- clusive service of the nobility, spread to the wealthy middle class. Stamped postal ietter paper was used in 1818 by the Government of Sardinia, this being succeeded in 1820 by envelopes hearing the Government seal. Ten years passed before Charles Whiting, a Lon- don publisher, began to experiment with stamped wrappers for newspapers. And from this suggestion Sir Rowland Hill, creator of the penny post, derived his idea. of the modern postage stamp, of which he is justly regarded as the orig- inator; although for some years pre- viously James Chalmers, the famous printer of Edinburg, had made experi- mentally a stamp printed with ordinary tvpe and rendered adhesive by the use of gum. Hill, invention, by realizing the value of Chalmers’ brought the adhesive stamp gt ett agg lO eee ati et i em i att ati al Phonograph Records Are Played Automatically babes genkey for patent rights has been made by an Eastern inventor who has designed a phonograph that is capable of playing several disc records in succession without requiring the at- tention of an operator. The machine also will select special records and render them, or reproduce a single one as many times as is desired. Another feature of the apparatus is that records of different sizes with starting and ending grooves of various diameters, can be employed.

I believe American romances are left too much to chance. People are ashamed to plan them. Yet, eventually, I believe when the principles of eugenics are better understood the en- tire matter of mating: will be arranged by marriage bureaus in which young men and, women may be enrolled. “As for the age of mating, I hesitate to discuss it, because I don’t want to seem like an old fogy. Still, I believe wa are marrying too late: that men and women were happier when they started earlier and built up a life together. Twenty-one is not too early for a woman to mate and 25 for a man. Girls grow up earlier than young men and their prospect of life is longer. This is due, ur. doubtedly, to woman's more sheltered) conditions of existence and the fact that women lead cleaner lives, “The woman of 45 does not look older than the man of the same age,” Dr. PI"isk continued. ‘We have a different standard of appearance for her, that ‘s ajl. If a man is alert and vigorous at 45 we say he is a young man. Give him long hair (if it is long it looks grayer) and the kind of clothes women wear and he wan't appear younger than his wife. We are less exacting in the matter of com- plexions for men, And, by the way, all the things women do, face cream and massage, to keep their youth are very superficial. They will look much hetter if they will use soap and water on -their skins and stop eating too much. One of the things which the Life Extension In- stitute is trying to teach the public,”’ Dr. ‘isk concluded, “is the importance of an annual medical examination in pre- serving health and youth. The human body is a delicate and complex machine Which should be inspected by experts from time to time, to head off trouble. Yet we wait until some valve or tube is injured by oOverstrain or neglect. and then we send for the doctor.

Hill's advocacy of the Chalmers stamp led to the usual pro- tracted series: of inquiries by succes- sive commissions, and {it was not until 1839 that Parliament passed an act auth- orizing the Treasury to fix the rates of postage on letters and regulate the mode ot their collection.

Why does gh> accept your flowers and compliments and protestations with « cynical shrug and refuse them with a tender sigh of sentimental regret? Why does she tempt you to kiss her—and then get furious if you do’ Why Goes she ‘take you up’ as though you were a joke—and ‘turn you down’ as though it were breaking her heart? Why’’—— “BECAUSE!” broke in the Widow, desperately, “because she has & sense of delicacy and a regard for artistic «ffect which a man seems to know noth- ing about? Simply because you must do something brutal, from breaking a dinner engagement to getting a divorce, why should you do it in a. crude. savage, obvious, cold-blooded way? Why not give a sugar-plum with your bitter dose of medicine and administer an anesthetic before using the scalpel’ Good heavens!

They are so obvious and awkward, and usually in so much of a hur- ry to finish off a love affair that has sagged in the middle, or to get out of an engagement that bores them, that they miss all the fine points of a graceful exit.

The Missouri Tigers will meet the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the foot- ball field next season. This much was decided at the meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference officials at Manhattan, Kas., yesterday. The casting of schedules for the various sports was not finished at yesterday's gathering of the officials. . Representatives of Missouri and Ne- braska agreed upon a contest to be played in Lincoln on Noy. 10, next. It will be the first time in many seasons that’ the two rivals have met on the gridiron. This contest should prove one of the big ones on the Valley schedule next vear. Both elevens made greai showings during the past season, with the Colum- bia team claiming the title and the Cornhuskers disputing the claim. So this contest next season should go a long way towards deciding the M. V. champion in football. The only other question decided yes- terday was to start the basket ball sea- son on Dec. 1 instead of Jan. 1, as has been the custom. Recommendation of the coaches to increase the number of basket ball and baseball tilts was re- .eived unfavorably and the o!d number P f e f ——— CARPENTIER HAS NOT A disconeerting feature of tle bout confronting Jerabek is that Torres is a boxer ‘of considerable experience anda success in the past four years, and his work during the past year indicates that he is going a bit better than he did in the previous three. Some of the Mexican’'s coritests during 1916 loom up conspicuously as follows: He met Art Magirl for elght rounds at Memphis, Tenn., and lost the decision only after a hard fight. Meeting Dick Wells for the second time, he won from him last, September, at Colorado Springs, Colo., in 15 rounds. Frank Barricau was outpointed in 10 rounds, and a 12-round bout with Mickey Sheridan at Kansas City was declared a draw, though news- paper critics thought Torres appeared to have won. One of the very best bouts ; won by Torres was over Johnny (‘‘Kid"’) Alberts at St. Joseph, Mo., Torres re- ceiving the decision at the end of lod rounds. Jerabek has been training hard for this match and is in good condition. He has been assisted by “Young” Denny, his conqueror, :1d this may help his boxing. The weight agreement is 150 pounds. Johnny Ecklund and Johnny Noye, both of St. Paul, meet in the semi-final of eight rounds at 126 pounds, while Sammy Sherman and Harry Leonard will a»pear in the preliminary bout of six rounds at 116 pounds.

The for- eign outlook made buyers cautious. The weekly business reviews were cheerful. Bradstreet’s said: “Consumption continues to overtax production, and in some respects even greater veloc- ity than heretofore is in evidence, numerous lines having all and more than they can handle. Yet there are a few halting signs, such, for in- stance, as less feverishness in pig iron, possibly due to the fact that prices are up all around, diminished oo of some food products that have bee subjected to boycotts, fomenibnints of warm weather retard- ing retail trade in seasonable mer- chandise, with intimations from the interior districts of the spring wheat Northwest that perhaps country dealers are temporarly overstocked. “But over and beyond such cross currents as have developed are evi- dences that holiday buying is of enormous proportions, that numerous industries are impeded by inability to get sufficient cars either for re- ceiving or sending out products, that jobbers as well as wholesale purvey- ore of staple merchandise are mak- ing record-breaking» sales: that wages aS well as dividends Kke@p go- ing up, and that investment securi- ties continue to be absorbed on a large. scale.”’ “7 bank cledrings, $6,979,578.- DETAILED REPORT OF DAY'S TRADING IN WALL STREET NEW YORK, Dec, 9.—Irreguiar changes today's opening resulted mainly from Poster selling of coppers and other issues re- cently under professional pressure.

Marine preferred, Central Leather and Continental (an were included among the few other ad- vances, Atlantic, Gulf West Sedition.

Wheat futures broke nearly -c 'n the first half-hour’s trading on the Merchants’ Exchange today, then re- covered ic of the loss when shorts endeavored to corner contracts. Trad2 Was largely professional, however, and sentiment bearish, owirig to al- lied reverses in the Balkans, light export business and submarine activi- ties. Growing tension between this country and Germany over the sub- marine question, and railroad embar- goes by Eastern railroads also oper- ated against the bulls. Liverpool cables were unchanged.

American weakness was offset by firmness of holders. Cargo market unchanged, but ten- dency lower. It is expected that Aus- tralian shipments are becoming lor- ger as shown by Bradstreet's, and it is believed that America will shortly commence ta ship more freely, as re- serves there are liberal and tonnage question is being’ solved. Export prices are favorable tc buyers. Corn market opened easy, with American markets, but later advanced sharply.

Consumption,is liberal and ar- rivals limited Céntinent is absorb- ing freely. FURTHER BREAK RECORDED IN NEW YORK: COTTON NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—There was a re- newal of yesterday’s selling movement in the “otton market early today, and a further break in prices. The opening was easy at a decline of 36 points to an advance of 4 points. and overnight selling orders seemed to be absorbed by covering or a little trad- ing buying. The support, however, was by no means active, with sentiment around he ring still very much unsettled and the mar- ket quicklys weakened under. increasing liq- uidation. Stop orders were uncovered, and before the end of the first hour prices were $1.50 ner bale under last night's close, with Januar, selling around 18.70c and May 19.08. Over- night spot gdvices from the South showed no weakness in the intertor. but most of the leading spot markets were lower at the close last night, and long Ifnes which had been carried over yesterday's break heré, appeared to be coming on the market. Spot cotton quiet; middling uplands, 18.7&c. No sales.

Close attention was paid to gossip bearing on the account of At- lantic seabgard clearances and on the ag- gregate of world shipments. Openjng prices, which ranged from the same as yest arr et 8 finish to 4c lower, with Ae $1.74%&, and July at were followed by a sharp decline all abt and then something of a reaction. Corn developed firmness owing to scarcity of rural offerings. At first.. however, the market was heavy in sympathy with wheat. After opening unchanged to “ec lower, prices sagged a littie more, and then rose to above vesterday's close. Oats paralleled the action of corn. Buy- ing was mainly for shorts.

Empire Trust Company, New York, Transfer Agents. From a letter signed by Mr. G. T. Bishop, President of the Federal Dyestuff & Chethical Corpora- tion, original of which is on file, the following features are summarized : j The corporation owns 200 acres of land at Kingsport, Tennessee, a most desirable —— because of the low cost of raw materials and favorable labor conditions. On this property are ere : sted 29 buildings of modern fireproof construction, in which is installed apparatus and equipment for thr, “manufacture of dyestuffs and like materials and chemicals. It has its own inter-commumicating necting with the C.C.&O.R.R. - The dyestuff processes used by this corporation are standard and are successfully er:iptoyed: in Europe. Coal tar distillates are chemically combined with chlorine, with acids, and with alke/is in scientific pro- portions, producing a variety of dyestuffs, pharmaceutital preparations, etc. The chemical plant and acid plant are of standard design and construction and afe producing a high quality of chlorine gas, caustic soda, mono-chlor-benzol, di-chior-bengol, muriatic rome, nitric acid and chemicals used in the arts and industries. The corporation commenced the erection of its plant in November, 1915. The present daily capacity exceeds 50,000 pounds of products, on which estimated profit is in excess of $2,000,000 annually on that capacity. By the installation of additional apparatus and enlarging some departments, this pro- duction will soon be increased to more than 100,000 pounds daily, which shold largely increase the profits. j The corporation manufactures from raw materials its own “intermediates” bec products from which dyestuffs are made), thereby enjoying an advantage over any competitor in the United States, insuring its ability to compete succéssfully under all conditions, and Bt the permanency of its earning power.

ORE than 5000 years ago a learned Mi Assyrian remarked, ‘‘Faint heart ne’er won forelady.’’ Since that time the axiom has been clattering down the vista of ages gathering truth with every clatter and picking up sup- port with evgry vista. Many a man has been able to boitser up a faint heart with a strong breath, but times are changing. The camels are coming and faint-hearted swains of Aive future will have to choose between the lady and the blind tiger. The “will to conquer’’—that’s the thing. Everybody at the Peerless Depart- ment store knew that Tessie Magruder in Remnants and Jim Hammett in Fur- niture were engaged except Tessie and Jim; who had only reached Hope BSta- tien on the Path of True Love. Start- ling symptoms were discernible. Jim had quit smoking cigars and talked about home cooking and raising chick- ens (he expected to raise some boys as well.) Tessie showed her ailment by stu- diously avoiding Jim in the store and always calling him Mr. Hammett when in a crowd. To the payroll of the Peerless Jim and Yessic were a strange combination. Hammett had come to the city only a few months before from a country store wh he had served ice cream soda with one hand while wrapping a pair of shoes with the other. Tessie had been, born and alloWed to rear herself in’ that part of the city where grass was looked upon as the food eaten by . nge animal called cow and where you woke up eight people when you tufned on @ light in your room at night. But, as has been evidenced in the celebrated case of the restaurant patron who ordered ox-tail soup and beef tongue, extremes will meet and mix rather well at that. Hammett intro- duced himself to Tessie several weeks after his arrival by slipping on the f} and knocking her down. The fol- lowing conversation ensued: “Say, you flat-footed hick, where are your lamps-—in hock?’ “I’m so sorry. I beg I'm sorry, and’’— “Sorry, you boob! I should say you are.
