Cocktails in bath cafes were formerly two for a quarter They are now Is cents straight. Same way with cigars. Drug stores are charging men more for toilet articles The tailor who used to press a suit for 50 cents now asks 75 cents, and 35 cents instead of quarter for pressing trousers.

Mimic Warfare

The United States is so warlike that
it INDUCES in mimic warfare nearly
every year. About the time the hot
weather strikes us and the SILLY sea
son" is here, then there are battles
with blank cartridges and hostile
events with searchlights. It is anus
ing to an outsider to see how serious
the officers are in arranging the de-
tails of these battles" They were
not as serious during the Spanish war
or when we were using 100000 sol
diers to pacify the Filipinos. The at
tack of the navy upon the forts at the
eastern entrance of Long Island sound
a few years ago and the sham battles
at Manassas last year seemed to be
about the limit. but the attacks" on
Baltimore and Washington this year
capped the climax Of absurdity. Good
target practice, maneuvers of ships,
and the drilling of the soldiers is es-
sential and sensible, but these make
believe" fights between the navy and
the army and the sham battles be-
tween two commands of the army
seem to have carried us back to the
days of long ago.

He DEFENDS MEMS HATS
Believes In Them-DepIores Attacks or

the HeadRear.
''That little skit about the crusade
being made against the hat may
sound all right" said a man who be-
lieves in the habit Of wearing hats, ac-
cording to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, "but there is another side
to the question. The fact is that the
hat came into the life of human kind
to answer a great purpose from my
way of looking at it Put in simple
language the hat takes the place Of
hair on the head In many instances
just as the coat and the shirt have
taken the place of hair on the back
and shoulders of man. Hence the
friends of the hat, not without reason.
urge that to uncover the head may
bring on colds, neuralgia and rheuma-
tism, and know many men who can
not sit in their offices with barred
heads. Colds and catarrh, and things
Of that sort, 1t Is urged, are Of micro
bian origin and cannot come from the
scalp. Hence, they come from outside
sources during the unnecessary expos
ure Of the head.
"The argument is frequently made
that the hat causes the hair TO fall
out, that It injuries the scalp by heat
ing It to an abnormal degree. do
not believe any such thing. OF course.
there are instances where the hat
wearing habit may be, and Is, abused.
But it is not always safe to rise from
an isolated fact to a general PROPOSE
tton,' as a MisSissippian put a sound
rule OF logic. Ny own view Of the
matter is that the hat is not only a
good thing at this point In our history
and development, but that It is an abb
necessary article. The uncoy-
cred head could not now stand either
the heat Of summer or the cold OF
winter. 1t must be protected, Just as
we must protect other parts of the
body. Do you think for one moment
that we could stand to go around with
our limbs uncovered during either the
hot or the cold season without suffer.
Ing the consequences? Not much.
1--WE cannot put the hat aside at this
particular point in our history for
the same reason. The hat is
an artihciality, to be sure. So are
shoes, 50 Is the coat, the trousers we
wear, and every other kind OF apparel
known to our kind. But we have
grown into these things and need

Subway Builder Tells How He Brought
Surety Men to Time.

Subway Builder Tells How He Brought
Surety Men to Time.
IN order to qualify for the subway
contract had to furnish a bond Of
$6,0OO.OO0." said John B. Mcdonald.
II hadn't S6,OO0,00O, OF course, but a
number Of surety companies had been
very kind to me and had talked the
matter over, and it was understood
that they had sufficient confidence IN
me to furnish the required bond. But
just then the newspapers began to
print alarmist articles. They were
sure that there were going to be houses
caving In and all kinds OF disaster.
The public took alarm and the idea
spread like wildfire-an idea Of sus-
picion and fear and distrust / could
feel 1t In the airl''
And really think he did shudder
this time, and know that his brows
came down over his eyes.
Il could feel 1t in the air, and /
knew that the panic had affected the
gentlemen Of the surety companies.
They had entered into no engagements
with me and made no promises, and
all they had to do was to reconsider
their former attitude.
"And so they held a meeting one
day, and that was to settle the mat
ter finally. If they backed out 1t
meant no subway contract for me.
Il was sitting In Mr.. Belmont's office
with my mind on that meeting, and l
tell you felt blue. Suddenly / got
up and took my hat.
Where are you goingT asked Mr..
Belmont.
"'I'm going to that meeting / said.
"'All right said Mr.. Belmont.
II walked into the meeting, and
there they were, the gentlemen Of the
surety companies, sitting around talk
ing and considering very earnestly.
They were pleased to see me, and we
had talk, and they asked me lot Of
question WE'LL" he explained, 1.-THE
kind Of questions that-er- musicians,
or-Or architects might ask"
He paid the tribute of a chuckle to
the learned lore Of a pack of surety
men on the points Of subway construc-
ton, and went on:
well, after I had answered a few
question: saw that there was only
one thing to be done, so l said:
And now, gentlemen, / want to
thank you very mucn for the encour-
agement you have given me by your
offer to stand by me, but 1 ind that /
viii not have to avail myself Of your
kindness.
THAT startled them, and right away
they began to reassure me Of their
anxiety to furnish the bond.
II had won the day, but for a mo
ment' again he shrugged his shout
ders involuntarily-"ah, that was the
critical moment Of the whole AFFAIR. If
they had thrown me down at that mo-
ment there'd have been no subway for
mew-New York World.

TREATMENT
GUARANTEED CHINESE BY GOVERN
MENT OF UNITED STATES.
Members Of Exempt Glass shall Be
Treated cOurteOusly, Says the PresI-
dent-lnstant DlsmissaI Promised
for Any Consular otieiaI Who Humi-
Hates celestiaIs Holding Certificates.


BY direction Of President Roosevelt
action has been taken by the admins
tration which not only will facilitate
the landing in this country Of Chinese
of the exempt classes. but will also
eliminate from the emigration bureau
such administrative features as have
been the subject Of criticism BY Chi
nese. It is the declared Intention
Of the president to see that Chinese
merchants, travellers, students and
others Of the exempt classes shall
have the same courtesy shown them
by officers Of the immigration bureau
as is accorded to citizens Of the most
favored nations.
Representations have been made to
the president that in view Of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to many
Chinese seeking landing in the Unit
ed States, the commercial guilds Of
China have determined to institute
boycott on American manufacturers.
The representations, backed by the
authority Of the American Asiatic So
ciety and commercial bodies through
out the country, induced the president
to make an investigation Of the situa-
ton with view Of remedying the
evils complained Of if they were found
to exist. The subject was discussed
thoroughly with Secretary Metcalf Of
the department OF commerce and la
Dor, who has supervision Of the immi-
grafton bureau.
q 10 r.oc,,It - A., g.....s.~. -
have been issued to the diplomatic
and consular representatives of the
United States in Cnlna by the presi-
dent himself that they must look close
ly to the performance Of their duties
under the exclusion law and see to it
that members Of the exempt classes
coming to this country are provided
with proper certificates. These certi-
icates will be accepted at any port OF
the United States and will guarantee
the bearer against any harsh or dis
courteous treatment. Such treatment,
indeed, will be the cause Of instant dis
missal Of the OFFENDING officials, who
ever he may be.
In addition to the presidents order
Secretary Metcalf has issued instrue-
tions to the immigration of1cers,
which it is believed will remedy the
difficulty heretofore complained Of by
the Chinese government and individ-
uals. It is anticipated that the prompt
action taken by the government to
meet the objections by the Chinese
will eliminate the possibility Of seri-
GUS trade difficulties between China
and the manufacturers of this country.
