IHE WlsHBoNE CRAZE.
Hiss Alice Roosevelt Starts New Fad
 Im Washfn EtOm.

Bliss Alice Roosevelt Starts New Fad
 In Washington
 Miss Alice Roosevelt carried luck in her hand on New Years day, and she has launched still another fad in Wash ington society, says the New York Telegrams correspondent.
 Instead of flowers, fan, lorgnette or dingle dangles on rope of pearls the daughter of the president sported a silver wishbone from the time of her appearance at the White House recep- ton New Years morning till the young peoples dinner at 8 o'clock, with which the gayeties of the day concluded.
 The wishbone >occasioned a vast amount of interest as well as amuse- ment among Miss Roosevelts friends. It was the one New Years gift that especially 4ppealed to the original young girl, and she explained, laugh ingly, that 1t was to bring her luck throughout the year. Last spring Miss Roosevelt set the style of carrying a gold tipped cane, and the girls of Wash ington adopted it without a murmur, appearing on the street and at bazaars with airy, fairy sticks that quite dag zled the youth of Washington. Now the wishbone craze has set in and Washington jewellers have booked a lot of orders for wishbones of silver, gold and jewel studded platinum.
 One attacke of legation begged to ex- change gorgeous diamond order that decorated his chest. for Miss Rooseyelt's wishbone New Years morning, but the latter declared she would not part with her lucky charm for the pink pearl atop of the Chinese minister's cap.
 And still another man-this time an American-tried to barter his gold set rabbits foot for the much coveted wishbone. Miss Roosevelt declared that rabbits feet could not be mentioned in the same breath with wishbones, 80 now the college man and the poker man and the all around sporty man will carry the rabbits feet back to the graveyard at the dark of the moon, bury them deep and turn up at the club with wishbones in their pockets.
 Miss Roosevelt's word is law in Washington society, and now that she has started the wishbone fad 1t is bound to boom.

Touched by Tube of It, They Are
 ParaIyzed and Soon Die.
 Dr. Roux of the Pasteur institute in Paris has been experimenting some interesting experiments showing the effect radium has on mice, says the New York Worlds correspondent. The little creatures become paralyzed the instant tube containing radium touches their bodies, and continued ap- plicati ton results in death.
 Dr. Denicz, who made the experi- ments, said:
 "We shut mice in a cage and sus- pended tube of eight centimeters above them. In fourteen hours the mice lost all their hair, which grew again few days afterward, but entire ly different in color. Twenty days later symptoms of paralysis appeared, and death followed shortly. An autopsy showed marked delation of the capil- laries."

NEW LABOR UNION BODY.
PubIic and Private Improvement
 Council It's Name.

Public and Private Improvement
 Council Its Name.
 Without any preliminary blast of trumpets a new central body, repre- senting 50,000 outside workers, was formed the other day at meeting of delegates of forty-two unions in hall in New York. Among the trades repre- scented were the foundation bricklayers, pipe calkers and tappers, stationary en- gineers, fremen, payers, bluestone cut ters, hammers, team drivers, rock drill- CTS, house shorers and movers, team sters, asphalt workers and truckmen. Matthew McConville of the Safety As sociaton of Engineers presided, and the meeting was behind closed doors says the New York Tribune.
 ItEwas decided to organize as the Pub lie and Private Improvement council, with Matthew McConville as temporary president and J. Noonan of the pavers' union as temporary secretary.
 The following announcement was made:
 "This council is composed of outside trades which are so allied that spe- cial central body was necessary. There has been tendency during the last three or four years, owing to the atl- vance in methods or work and ma- chinery, toward dividing work which used to be done by one man or set of men into several branches, which have by degrees become special trades. Some of these trades were not in existence when the first central bodies were formed. It therefore became necessary to form a central organization of the trades that they may cooperate to- gether more effectively"
 It was stated that the new body is not antagonistic to existing bodies. Some of it's unions are affiliated with the Board of Building Trades and oth- CT bodies, and the organization of the new body does not necessarily mean that its unions will give up former af- filiations, 1t was said.
