DUDE IS NOW EXTINCT.
Golf Cap Killed Off Species and
 "Candy kid' Began Ills Reign.
From the Chicago Daily News

From the Chicago Daily News.
 What has become of the dude?
 He has departed down Oblivion avenue, the same route taken by the spinning wheel, the ordinary bicycle and the ca ble car In Chicago he is almost as abun dant today as the Digger Indian.
 There are no more dudes, young man." said a local merchant tailor the other day to a customer who objected to a sample of sartorial symphony as being "too dudish." "A man can dress as swell and be as radical as he pleases nowadays without getting dude thrown at him. The word is as dead as 'Ah, there, my sizep or as Twenty-threep soon will be. A young fellow is free to follow the fashions up to the limit provided he doesn't offend good taste"
 Back, back in the murky past the glory of the dude began to flicker. At that time he was fracturing hearts with a sample of smokestack millinery which now arouses a youthful pipe de plug" a ten-story collar and a tic incrusted with an infant headlight. He also dis played a cute cutaway with twin buttons to the rear, trousers that ne'er Tapped in the breeze and shoes that terminated in front like the recedng perspective of a railroad track. Also he nursed a. bash full little mustache and wiggled a cane.
 He started on his hike to Hasbeenville when the bicycle sport with re-echo- ing pancake cap and cacaphonious golf sto ockings, scorched above the horizon. He in turn was doomed to an asbestos finish by the "rah rah" person, the boy with horse-haired shoulders, elbow length jacket and untamed shoe laces.
 And now we have the 'candy kid"
 To begin at the top, the "kid' partly shields his pompadour with derbylet- a dwarfed derby with a thin pinch of ozone twixt the ourving brim and the crown. Sometimes he varies this with a fiat 'l,d,' the brim of which starts on an aerial sojourn at his forehead. On

Support of Measure
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s-President
Roosevelt is taking such a great in
terest in defenses on the Pacific coast
that he is having conferences with
congressman from that section as to
what is necessary. He has talked with
many senators and representative
from California. Oregon and Washing
ton. Today he advised on this subject
with Senator Flint and Representative
Humphrey of Washington.
Judg ging from what has taken place,
the president is simply bestirring the
Pacific coast members to activity In
getting appropriations for weak points
along the slope and in Hawaii san
Francisco is considered one of the best
defended cities of the world. and little
money will be needed there.
Senator Flint is particularly inter-
ested In San Pedro and San Diego. The
latter, he says, could be made one OF
the great harbors of the world by an
expenditure of.s150.Oo0 in dredging the
mouth of the harbor. The money would
give a so foot channel at San Diego
and thereby admit the largest battle
ships TO q great harhor. San Diego,
according to Senator Flint, needs de-
fenses.
Representative Humphrey talked
with the president about the needs of
Puget sound and Seattle The presi-
dent urged his visitors to work for
appropriations for the defense of
Hawaii.
