pered. Only the cook knew what the
chop suey was made of, and he could be
trusted not to tell. The question as to
Just what a chop suey is was brought
about by the collector of the port, who
assessed the article at 40 per cent ad
valorem duty. The collector held it
was a sauce, but this view was dis
puted by the importers of the stuff.
Voluminous testimony was taken and
merchants and manufacturers of chop
suey were brought here to testify as to
the edible properties of the dainty. Yes
terday the decision was announced and,
not being edible, chop suey in future
will be admitted to this country under
duty of only 20 per cent.

Owners of autos who venture in the
Mosquito state hereafter had better
take their bank rolls along with them.
The new auto law went into effect to-
day in New Jersey and under it the
man in the devil wagon will hardly be
able to call his soul his own. There
are many things that he must do, and
so many things that he may not do
that he is almost sure to commit some
violation of the act. If he runs
through the state without making him
self liable to arrest he will be set down
as a very clever man by those persons
who have made n close study of the
law. The penalties fixed for violation
of the new law are stringent Instead
of fines of $25 or $50, Violators will be
liable to fines ranging from $3.50 to $500.

these ancient receptacles were found
and one of them he presented to Grace

for the church grounds. 1t does not

PRISON BARS SEPARATE TWO
LOVERS
Juan Gonzales, the Sailor, Would
Take to Wife Carmen SAM
chez, but Statutes
Say No

To make happy two lovesick chill
dren and permit a proper elimination
of a transaction which thus far has
brought only sorrow and misery to
little Carmen Sanchez and Juan Con-
Zales, the superior court authorities
may allow the two Porto Ricans to
leave the country and HE to Mexico,
and there be married according to the
laws of that country.
The case of the youngsters is pitiable.
Carmen is but 1S years of age, but is
greatly matured. In her native land
the girls marry at the age of or 10
years, and by the age of 20 are begin
ming to grow old and ugly.
So little Carmen met Juan the sailor
and she loved him. He was is years
of age and also Porto Rican, and
the Youngsters were happy
But their love became too intimate.
it is said. and the boy was arrested
and sent to the county Jail and the
girl was given to the care of the matron
of the detention home, and both are
heartbroken.
Parents Desire Match
The girls parents are anxious that
she marry Juan, for he is considered a
desirable husband from the Porto
Ricans' viewpoint. Moreover, the girl
loves Juan and Juan loves Carmen,
and all want the couple to get married
and live happily ever after like good
little senors and senoritas should.
But the court thinks along well
defined line set down by the state law,
which forbids the marriage of a girl
under the age of Is years, and unless
the two young people are released and
allowed to cross the border to Mexico
and there be married among their own
people, where the people marry young,
grow old at an early age and wither
away when white people are in the
prime of life, serious trouble for both
of them may result.
The girl spends her time gazing
through the barred windows of the de-
tention home with dry eyes, and the
hate and passion of her southern nature
consuming the entire world of white
people. The condition of the youth is
pathetic. He says he is 1S years OF
age, but long years Of exposure to the
suns and storms of the tropics have
wrinkled his features until he looks
more like a monkey than man.

the waiter got 10 cents. In the res
taurant it also cost me 10 cents for the
waiter who brought my lunch. Just
before dinner l dropped into cafe for
a few minutes. There the waiter who
brought me 15 cents worth of whisky
received 10 cents for himself. Now, at
one of the Broadway restaurants up
town where l went for dinner 1 left %
cents on the table for the waiter. Just
before going to bed had a drink and
a club sandwich and for handing them
to me the waiter got 10 cents. That
night I had welsh rarebit dream on the
cheese in the sandwich and found out
that L had been blackmailed out of 80
cents during the day. l figured out
that this meant $27 every month, or
$32S.50 per year, or $3,2S5 in the last 10
years. Say, if 1 had saved that much in
the last ten years 1 would spend my

Invading Womens Rights
"Too much of a silly, salacious or
censorious sort is being printed about
womans summer raiment-about her
peek-aboo waists, her elbow sleeves
and her open-work stockings" says one
of the rainy daisies. 1T would seem

newspapers, an assumed necessity and

They infer that in summer the Amer

the elegancies. 1t is only just to re-
