TWO IMPORTANT BILLS.
Senator Beveridge to Introduce One
and McCumber the Other.


and McCumber the Other.
AS soon as Congress convenes it is
understood that Senator Beverage will
introduce the first bill to carry into
effect one of the recommendations Pres
ident Roosevelt has made several times
in his speeches and which he probably
will repeat i'm bis message measure
for the taxing of inheritances.
Details of the Indiana Senator's bill
have not been made public and may not
be given out before the eve of the ses-
sion. 1t is recognized that such a
measure as this, which is bound to pro-
woke criticism and constitutional argu-
ment, and probably constitutional quib-
blings, must be drawn with every pre-
caution possible.
Senator p. J. McCumber Of North
Dakota, who has been in Washington
for some time, and who has been in
frequent consultation with Mr. Roose-
Welt, already has drawn a bill to carry
out a second of the Presidents recon-
mendatiOns-a bill to provide for the
incorporation. controlled and governed,
of associations organized to carry on
business. enter into or become part Of
interstate commerce."
This McCumber measure provides
that an association for carrying on any
interstate commerce business may be
formed of any number of persons not
fewer than three, and that such persons
shall state in the articles of association
the business it is intended to conduct,
and shall submit the associations name
to the Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor for his approval The principal
place of business is to be given: the
time it is intended to continue in bust
ness must be stated, and the directors
names and residences must be set forth,
with the amount of capital stock of the
association and the shares into which
it Is to be divided.
Once a year the business body IL
censed by the government to carry on
interstate operations shall present a
full statement showing sits gross and
net earnings, all improvements or addi-
tons that have been made, the cost
thereof, the value of its assets, how the
moneys received by it have been eS-
pended and such other information con-
corning the conduct of its business as
may be required" Provision is made
for the annulment of a license, or, as
it is called in the bill, certificate"
when the requirements of the law have
not been met. The dissolution of cor.
poration, however, shall not abate any
action which may have been taken
against it. This McCumber bill is the
first of its kind of which the public has
knowledge,

Since woman is just now altogether
i'm the limelight-as far as print goes,
at any rate-idle eyes oft find the mis-
chief which our forefathers (and
mothers) allotted to idle hands. a GER
tain clever man, who runs ahead OF
most, of his fellows with what passes
for the torch of truth, makes the fol-
lowing interesting statements:
In man there is generally some of the
good of the child; in woman some of
the bad.
Conventionality is the woman's con-
science.
The men who love woman seldom
love women; those who love women sell
dom love woman.
The new woman in nutshell: She
loves men and hates man.

Detection Of Sewer Gas.

The American Analysis gives the
following test for the detection in an
apartment of sewer gas: Saturate
unglazed paper with a solution of one
troy ounce of pure acetate of lead in
eight fluid ounces of rain water; let
it partially dry, then expose in the
room suspected of containing sewer
gas. The presence of gas in any con-
siderable quantity soon blackens the
test paper.

If good piano receives proper care
its value increases with use. Il be-

placing a piano near the window, as
the varying temperatures which neces-

furious to the strings. BE careful, too
that you do not have one end OF the
instrument near a fire and the other
end near a window or door. When q
room has become very cold do not heat
it too quickly, but increase the heat
gradually.

to walk in the old way. The new man.
ner of progression is described in this

lifted and the toe is brought forward,
pointing downward; then the step is
taken. 1t will require some hours to be-

He never talked of his affairs with

Facfur for the Hat.

1t is one Of the fads of fall to have

The bandeau Is also the color of the
covering. the bandeau is likewise a close
match to the couture. This is par.
ticularly becoming fad, for it does away
with the sharp outline between the hat
and the hair.

swept upon the tracks in a deep cut near
~ mile long. The engineer could not
see the track when he entered the cut,

State are beginning TO fear for the bu-

many districts the young men are leaving

PLANTING OF TREES.
How to Avoid Monotony and Hideous
ness In Streets

How to Avoid Monotony and Hideous-
ness In Streets.
In the busy rush of life we are apt
to take the short cuts, writes Sid
Hare, landscape architect, in Park and
Cemetery, Chicago. Some wise mathe-
matician has told us that straight
line is the shortest distance between
two points, and man is therefore prone
to forget that nature makes very few
straight lines, almost invariably start
ing and ending with curve. A
straight city or town street with a
straight line of curb, a straight line
of trees or perhaps two, straight
sidewalk line and possibly another
straight line of trees, all paralleled by
fences and set to harmonic and en-
phasize this stiff departure from ma
ture, is hideous even if it is the short
est distance. But we have them, ard
what can we do to improve them!
How can we break up this mOnotonOus
sameness? A city or town block sur
