FEBRUARY BUSINESS
WAS LIGHTEST IN YEARS

Desk Sergeant Andrew Etzel says
the month just passed has been the
dullest one in police circles of any in
several years, and Andy ought to
know. The month was not only a
short one, but the average amount of
business each day was light. Accord
ing to the report of Chief Dennis Nc
Carthy there were but % arrests
made during the month of February,
II being city and six state cases.
There were 10 for disOrderly con-
duct, five each for disturbing the
peace and being drunk, and one each
for assault and battery, carrying con-
cealed weapons and as fugitive from
justice. There were 81 station dodgers
and "a meals were furnished prison
ers. The Jail bill was $3.50. Street
lights were reported out for a total
of 591 hours. There were 10 wagon
and "A ambulance calls.

of the eight cities, together with the
requirement that there are TO be an
equal number of holiday and Sunday
games in each city, makes the sched-
ule a puzZling undertaking.
The greatest difficulty is arranging
for the jump to Wheeling. Dayton is
the nearest town, and it is 211 miles.
In the Indiana cities some of the dis
tances are less than 100 miles. Ander-
son and Marion can travel by trolley
line, so that railroad facilities and
connections cut little figure.
There will be 40 games, each city
having 20 on it's own grounds. Some
of the schedules that will be submit
ted provide for off days; others have
continuous playing. The point which
will count most with the directors,
however, will be in the saving of mile
age.

withheld from the press till copies
could be furnished to all the. cities in
the circuit.
The main features of the schedule
were made public at the time of its
adoption and were duly noted in The
Argus. 1t provides for the same num-
Der of games as that of last season,
1876, but the season will run a few
days longer owing to: the greater
number of open dates that have been
left. This was done to do away as
far as possible with the double-head-
erS that were so common last season.
League is Compact.
The substitution of Joliet and Du-
buque for Terre Haute and Evansville
gives a much more compact league
and makes it possible to reduce the
mileage travelled by the teams con-
siderably, the average this year being
about $500. 1t is also necessary to di-
vide the league differently from the
manner of last season and Rock Isl
and is in the south half of the circuit
in company with Joliet. Decatur and
Bloomington, instead of in the north
half as last year.
The season opens May 1 and closes
Sept. Is. Rock Island opens at Deca-.
tur, Joliet at Bloomington, Cedar
Rapids at Davenport, and Dubuque at
Rockford. May the opening will
take place in the other towns, with
Bloomington at Rock Island, Decatur
at Joliet, Rockford at Dubuque, and
Davenport at Cedar Rapids.
Rock Island has 10 Sundays at home
and two holidays, Memorial day and
Labor day, two games being played
on each. Davenport has 10 Sundays
at home and one holiday, July 4. The
Rock Island and Davenport teams are
pitted together for the games of July
and Memorial day and for six Sum
days during the season, but it is 50
arranged that they will have few
games at home at the same time and
no Sunday games.

EVOLUTION OF THE RAZOR AND BEARD.

If any writer on the history of civil.
zation should ever undertake to write
history of the beard, he will have
to record the fact that majority of
the peoples were beardless.
Just as the savages carefully remove
every bit Of hair from their faces,
either by shaving or by pulling the
hairs out by their roots, the civilized ma
lions considered it the proper thing
to be beardless. The ancient Egyp-
tians, Greeks and Romans looked With
contempt upon the barbarians, who al
lowed their hair and boards to grow
unrestrained and believed that only
perfectly smooth face was proper
and dignifed for an educated man.
Only in rare cases an Egyptian would
allow two tufts of hair to grow on
his chin, and the Greeks and Romans
were SO radical in their duties on the
subject that they even had their eye
brows shaved off, considering them
superfuous and contrary to their ideas
of beauty. The Egyptians removed
the hair from their faces with the same
primitive stone knives which the KAT
frs of South Africa use to the present
day. The Greeks used sickle shaped
knives, sometimes made of precious
metals, for the same purpose. Opin-
ions on the beard question were divid-
ed in Europe during the Middle Ages.
While peasants and men Of science
kept their faces smooth, tradesmen,
soldiers and patricians considered it
matter of pride to wear fine long
bea,ds.
During and after the Thirty Years
war. when the much criticised custom
Of following fashions was transplanted
from France to Germany and other
countries, the boards were reduced to
minimum. Only a narrow strip I'M
der the nose was permitted to remain,
which strangely contrasted with the
bushy perulles which the men used to
put upon their closely shaven heads

A Costly Perfume

Altar of Wang which rivals
the altar of roses as an exquisite per-
fume, and sells at $40 to $50 or more
a pound, is the product of an Asiatic
tree that reaches its highest develop
ment in the Philippine Islands. The
tree grows to height of sixty feet:
when three years old it begins bear
ing long greenish-yellow flowers, and
at the age of eight may produce year
ly 100 pounds of these flowers, bios
soming every month. The altar is OBJ
tanned by simple distillation of the
choicest petals with water, no chemi-
Gals being used. Besides it's value as
a perfume for hair and toilet waters.
the product is priced among the ma
tives as a medicine, being credited
with curing toothache and numerous
other pains.

therefore remodelled, and the one at
Glace Bay has been constructed On the
same line, so that a description OF one
will fit all three.
AS shown in the illustration, the
structure consisted of four square
wooden towers, which stand about 215
feet high Each one is cross braced
with steel wire rope, and all four are
connected with each other by diagonal
stays. Finally, to render the structure
still more rigid and wind-proof, stout
cables are run up over the tops Of each
pair Of towers on all sides, and secured
to anchorages in the earth.
From each of the four horizontal
bridges which connect the tops of the
towers are suspended fifty copper ca
bles. The cables are composed of seven
strands, an eighth of an inch in diam
eter, tightly twisted together. Out
wardly these cables look like single
wires at a short distance but in real
ity there are three hundred and fifty
wires on a side, or fourteen hundred in
all.
The fifty cables of each Of the four
groups converge as they go downward
and terminate in the operating room
of the station.

The Worlds Supply OF Coal.

AS a result of the recent coal strike,
considerable attention has been given
to a re-eXamination of the area Of the
coal lands Of the entire world. It
Is assumed that there will come a
time when the last pound of coal will
be taken from the ground, and the
question is: What will mankind do
for fuel when that time arrives? But
that question need not perplex us at
present. Experts estimate that the
coal fields of China, Japan, Great
Britain, Germany, Russia and India,
contain apparently three hundred and
three billion tons, which will last for
four hundred and fifty years at the
present rate Of consumption. The sup
ply in the United States and Canada,
added to that in other parts of the
world, would enable the human race
to rely on coal for fuel for a thousand
years. In ordinary times the United
States leads in the production of coal,
and previous to the strike was begin

Grants four children, the only one
with her when the end came was Mrs.
Sartoris. Gen. Frederick D. Grant
was in Texas, where he commands
department Of the United States army;
and Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., and Jesse
Grant were at their homes in San
Diego, Cal.
Few women whose husbands were
men of action have been so intimately
identified with the careers Of the lat
ter and have shared their experiences
to such an extent as did the woman
who united her fortunes with those
of an unknown army captain and lived
to see him the head of a nation, to
be greeted by the nations Of the world
and to enjoy with him the hospitality
extended by crowned heads. Her
father was a judge-Frederick Dent,
who occupied prominent place in the
political and social circles Of Missouri
at the time his daughter was born
January 26, 1926. Her brother was
classmate at West Point of Ulysses S.
Grant, and when Grant was sent to
Jefferson Barracks as a lieutenant he
carried letters of introduction to the
Dent plantation and there the roman
tic event Of his life occurred. The
daughter of Judge Dent had just re-
turned from an eight years stay at
n boarding school and the young Off
Ger found it pleasure to call often
where he could enjoy the girls COM
pany. Eventually they became en-
gagged but before the marriage could
take place there came the war with
Mexico. When the soldier returned,
with the title of captain, earned at
Chapultepec and in other battles, the
wedding took place, August %, 1913.
Mrs. Grant was with him at Sackets
Harbor and at Detroit, and when he
went to the front during the civil war
she joined him. She was with him
at vicksburg, which she called the
generals greatest battle, and else
where she heard the cannons booming
and saw the bullets fly.
The war over and Gen. Grant in
stalled in the White House, his wife
entertained on q magnificent scale.
When her husband went on his tour
of the world she accompanied him,
and sat at the tables of Kings, EN-
perors and Queens. After his return,
when the shadows gathered about him.
when physical and financial difficulties
darkened his days, her devotion in
creased and her confidence in his abil- |
ity to weather the storm never wav-
cred. After his death she made her
home in New York and Washington. |
She also spent some time in Canada, |
and once visited her granddaughter, |
the Countess CantacuZene. in Europe. |
The government gave her pension of |
s., 900 year. All her children survive. |
