Are you wise to the fact that every
thing is changing in this old world of
ours, and that since the advent of fuss
wagons even the old-fashioned idea OF
courtship has been chased to the woods?
1t used to be that on Saturday even
ing the young gent would draw down
his six dollars worth of salary and chase
himself to the barber shop, where the
Dago lawn trimmer would put crimp
in his mustache and plaster his fore
head with three cents worth of hair
and dollars worth of axle-grease.
Then the young gent would go out
and spread 40 cents around among the
tradesmen for mess of water-lilies
and bag Of peanut brittle.
The lilies of the valley were to put
on the dlning.rom table so mother
would be pleased, and with the peanut
brittle he intended to fill in the weary
moments when he and his little geisha
girl were not making goo-goo eyes at
each other

these days are more emotional and
like to see their pictures in the news

Nowadays when a clever young man
goes to visit his sweetheart he hikes
over the streets in a benzine buggy,
and when he pulls the bell-rope at the
front door he has a rapid-fire revolver
in one pocket and bottle of carbollc

His intentions are honorable and he

POLICY HOLDERS
ASK FOR AID
From State Department in Forcing
German Companies to Pay
Frisco Losses.

Washington, D. c., Nov. S.-The pol
icy holders of San Francisco today ap'
pealed to the state department to aid
them in forcing settlement with three
German insurance companies and one
Austrian company that refused to
pay for any property destroyed by
fire and earthquake, which damage
aggregated about $l4,OO0,000.
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
took the matter up with Count Hatz'
field, the first secretary OF the Ger

some length. II is scarcely possible
that this government will make the
matter the subject for a formal de-
mand upon the German government.
