DOOM OF THE SILK SKIRT
Clubwomen Protest Against It's An
noying Noise and Rustic.
[From the Chicago Chronicle.1


The day of the swishing silk skirt is
reaching its twilight speedily. That rus
tie so dear to the average woman's
heart has been pronounced "a detri-
ment and a nuisance by the more ad-
vanced members of the sex, and the
word has been passed around to taboo
it.
A prominent member of a woman's
club in Georgia at a recent convention
took the first step in the movement
against the silk petticoat when she de-
elared the skirts were a nuisance
You would agree with me-" she said,
IF you were to attend one of our
meetings. You can hardly hear what
is going on for the rustling skirts. At
our last convention, in the middle of our
most important discussion some be-
lated member would enter the hall and
sail up its entire length, the swish,
swish, swish of the rust1ing silken
skirts fairly drowning the voice of the
speaker. During my own address was
forced to stop entirely for three or four
minutes while the noisy, rustling silken
skirts were settled to the satisfaction of
the wearers.
Now, I ask you, Is it the thing for a
club that as organized for the higher
aims of womanhood to permit such friv-
olity among ats members2
AT an extra, meeting held by the of
hcers of our club we debated upon this
question and we decided that the only
thing sensible women could do was to
taboo silk petticoats entirely and insist
that women should cease to wear
them"

BOUNCER FOR ROOSEVELT.
Rough Rider From Arizona Wanted
to Be Executive Thrower-Out.

Albany, Jan. 23-''Happy Jack" Ari-

He was one of the most daring OF
Roosevelt's rough riders, and after his
colonel was inaugurated governor he
came to Albany to ''get a job" The
governor asked him what kind of
place he wanted. He replied at first
that he would like a clerkship in some

shots among the rough riders. When
ever he could not agree with a man,
the only argument he would give him
was fight.
Visions of some machine boss, an
argumentative senator or the head of

door of the executive chamber, assisted
by HAPPY jack as bouncer-Out, arose
before the governor, and he had to

When grip germs find their way into
the human body they begin at once the
work of undermining the health by de-

the very life of the body depends. With

flow of blood, and congestion and in
f1ammation begin their deadly task.
There are two results of grip which are
seldom absent, and which cause more
misery and suffering than all the other
after effects combined. They are nerv-
GUS prostration and heart disease. The
heart is called upon to make an extra
effort just at the time when its own
vitality is lowest. The result as heart

TOWN RENTS ITS MOTORS.
Remunerative Experiment Conducted
by the City of Bradford, England.


[From the NY. Commercial Advertiser
One obstacle to the more rapid adop-
ton of electric power, especially in the
case of small users everywhere, is I'M
doubtedly the want of capital to pur-
chase the necessary motor; but where
the power to purchase exists the buyer
often has little or no experience with
electrical matters to guide him in his
purchase, and if his means are limited
he will naturally be tempted to ven
ture on a cheap line with probably I'M
satisfactory results.
A solution of these difficulties, which
has been applied with excellent results
in Bradford, England, is the purchase of
good, reliable motors, and offering them
for hire by the owners of the electricity
supply undertakings, who, in this in
stance, are the municipality itself. Ac-
cording to the figures prepared by AL
fred H. Gibbings, the city electrical
engineer of Bradford, they have found
there that rental charge of 10 per
cent upon the initial cost of each mo-
tor was amply sufficient to yield ac-
ceptable returns, this charge being
made up of per cant for interest,
per cent for sinking fund, and per cent
for depreciation and contingent ex-

Discussion as to What Instinct

steps of the elevated the other day, when,

these self-supporting young women of
which at her instigation was organized
during the Worlds fair, and has since
received her friendly and financial sup
port. This one gracious act of a wo-
