Suppressing the Reckless AutOist.

Individuals and communities need
not be sensitive about making IL fuss
over the reckless driving Of autOmO-
biles. Not only American cOmmuni-
ties In states where the danger to Or
binary travellers has increased Of late,
but the people and the authorities Of
England and continental countries,
have taken up seriously the question
Of regulating the speed Of automobiles
in the interest Of public safety.
In England there Is a demand for
some certain means Of control Of the
machine so that speed can and will be
adapted to varying conditions, as a
stretch of free road or crowded thor
oughfare. The drunken and the de-
liberatcly reck4ess driver Is abroad In
Europe as we'll as near the large cities
Of this country. Wherever the motor
car plague is Mt its worst there Is a
growing demand for a special public
automobile highway to which motors
shall be confined. AS soon as one such
speedway is seen to operate success
fully legislators will have the courage
to put up the bars wherever the evil
Is n pressing one.

Science must advance or else cease
to be interesting. Therefore DR.. Stiles
Is up to date when he puts the seat of
laziness just under the cuticle Of man
instead of in the bones. The trouble,
which, the doctor says, is real dis
ease, is due to worm that has the
sleeping habit. While the worm sleeps
the host who is entertaining him feels
like sleeping, too, and folks call him
lazy.
1t is a comfort to some people to
know just what ais them when they
don't feel right. The lazy person can
now give a scientific reason for the
spell that is on him and demand SYM
pathy as the victim Of a disease. All
the same, it will often be found that
the worm will quit making mischief
under the external application Of raw
hide or hickory skillfully laid on at the
right time. The patient may not be
thankful for this relief, but the doctor
shouldn't stop work for a trif1e like
that.

Fur Fashions.

Sable, mink and sealskin are the
three skins which will be made up into
the coetliest coat, bolero and half dol
man forms, while muskrat, pony skin
and mole dyed squirrel skin will be
seen In motor and long cloaks.
Fur trimmed dresses will not be fro
quently seen, but cloth trimmings on
furs, such as stitched bands Of cloth,
are to be used to define seams which
heretofore were preferably left unde-
fined, and silk braids Of a close fine
mesh will be employed for the same
purpose in connection with heavy SOU
tache and lace ornamental fastenings.
Wide revers Of sable or fox will be
used for the squirrel lined tweed coats,
and these, being usually meant for
practical warmth, are provided with
big storm collars, also lined with fur.
Scotch tweeds for motoring and long
cloth pedestrian cloaks will also have
fur in this way about the neck.

The Struggling Poor.

When the bishop of London deliver
ed his message to the millionaires of
New York city he out with the old
chestnut about the duty of the rich to
help the poor Such advice Is super
fuous in any great city. The charities
are so liberal and so easy to beat that
being poor is lucrative profession.
Men and women live year in and year
out without doing stroke Of work
simply by continuously posing as ON
the verge of starvation and desfera-
ton. To such an extent Is this evil
carried that liberal and indscriminate
giving is subsidy to pauperism.
OF advice to help the struggling poor
there cannot be too much. They are
not picturesque, do not live in the
slums. never thrust gaunt faces and
woebegone eyes before the prosperous
passerby. They are at work strug-
Cling to drive the wolf from the door.
1t is not charity in the ordinary sense
that these people should have, but help
In their struggles. To these and for
these the millionaire can give money
which will increase their earnings or
reduce the cost of living. They'll not
ask aid, and the spirit of Christs say
Ing for them is not the open pocket
book merely, but remembrance Of the
poor even to searching them out. They
are not far to seek in any city, and the
towns and villages have their quota.

Suggestions For Winter Hats.


The winter hats will be Of velvet
and short cut beaver and felt. The silk
covered hat will pass out before snow
flies
Made with soft flexible brims and
high stiff crowns, these hats will have
bandeaux, and most Of them are to be
worn back on the head so that the hair
will need to be carefully II not elabo-
rately dressed in the front.
Cockades Of coque feathers, ostrich
tips so stripped Of their individual
fronds that they are but ghosts Of
their former estate, goura feathers
with their delicate fan tips, long stiff
wings and large winding plumes will
all be in evidence, but not as mixed as
Of late on the large hats. Quilts and
wings will also be used on the small
toques and turbans as we'll as coQue
feathers.

Fake Liason and He
Leaves Her.

The abandonment case against Will
lam Juhl, the South Chicago express
man who was arrested some days ago
on complaint Of his wife, Ida, was be-
fore tho South Chicago municipal court
this morning. and the testimony Of Mrs.
Juhl revealed noriginal cause for the
abandonment Mrs. Juhl stated that
she had been married before and that
she admitted in response to her hus-
bands accusations that she had given
birth to a child during her widowhood,
whose father was a citizen Of East
Side She made the story so circum-
stantial that Williams believed it. and
accordingly declared he could not live
with her on account of her deception.
Mrs. Juhl further recited that the
story about the child was untrue, and
was told for the purpose OF 'jollying"
the Jealous William.
The decision in the abandonment
charge hinged on a point of law in
volving the legal definition of the term
abandonment" and it's correlation with
the term "desertion," and as the evil
dence showed that the defendant had
paid house rent for his wife and pro-
vided her with COAL a continuance was
granted the prosecution to permit the
presentation of decisions bearing on the
legal point involved.
