When the Allan liner California,
which arrived in New York last week
sailed from Glasgow there were in
the first cabin seven lone Scotch
women. They did not know each
other, but before the ship had been
out day they were all acquainted
and within another twenty-four hours
they had formed the brides club, for
the confessions, which followed
acquaintanceship proved that all
seven we're coming to America for the
purpose of being married. In each
case the bridegroom-to-be was a
Scotchman, who had been in America
for some time and who had finally so
placed himself as to be able not only
to furnish home for his Scotch
sweetheart, but to send her the money
to travel to the new country in first
class stateroom. The weddings will
all take place soon and each member
of the club has agreed to write the
full details to all the other members.

DR.. N. M. Owensby, chief physician
at Bay View insane asylum, Balti-
more, believes he has found cure
for one of the most pitiable forms of
insanity -dementia praecox- through
the medium of the surgeons knife.
Dementia praecox destroys, as it pro-
ceeds. the human qualities of resis-
tance, thought and speech, and event.
ually reduces the victim to the condi-
tion of a mere beast. Should the
application of the knife prove success
full DR.. Owensby will have conferred
a lasting blessing upon the world at
large. +

Cases of bubonic plague still con-
tinue to be reported from Pacific
coast towns and yet the government
encourages the filthy Hindoos who are
responsible for the disease by afford
ing them protection instead of driving
them out of the country. 1t has been
proven that the disease originates
with these dirty heathens. To them
dirt is sacred-their creed forbids
them to wash the grimy accumulation
of years from their malodorous
bodies. They live in foul novels
infested with rats-the greatest dis
seminators of the disease known.
And it is also against their creed to
kill these rats. The sooner America
passes laws to prohibit Hindoos from
landing in this country the better.
Compared with such scum the Chinese
and Japs are gentlemen.

A Place Where There's No Christina


The Christmas hater may be made
happy. He can have his wish and
go somewhere where there isn't any
Christmas. He will not have to die
to do it either, but he will have to be
a good sailor in order to fully enjoy
his paradise, which is not on earth.

Is in the direction of the Orient. AS
the days pass and he comes nearer
and nearer the 25th of the month he
may begin to feel uneasy and think
himself the victim of joke. Even as
late as bedtime on December "a he
may feel resentful over what he fears
is a wild goose sail. He may fall
asleep thinking of the disagreeable
things he will do next day just be-
cause it will be Christmas, but he will
be disappointed, for when he wakes
in the morning he will find it the 26th
of December. The 25th is not and has
not been. It seems to have passed
in the night. It is gone completely
but where? An experienced naviga-
tor explains the lapse thus:
SIN just about the middle of the
Pacific ocean is the one hundred and
eightieth degree of longitude, and when
that imaginary line is reached the
westward traveller drops one day out
of his calendar for the year. That
line crosses the antipodes, or point
on the earth's surface which is pre-
cise]y opposite to Greenwich, Eng
land, the place at which by common
consent of all nations the counting
of time begins. At monday, when
the sun is directly overhead at Green
wich, at other points to the westward
the time will be earlier by one hour
for each Is degrees of longitude, so
that when 100 degrees is reached it
will be midnight.
''Twleve hours have thus been
gained, and the other tw]eve would
be added if the journey around the
globe were completed. So by uni
versal agreement tie 25th of Decem-
Der would be dropped by all naviga-
tors reaching the fatal line on the
previous day, and travellers would be
cheated out of their Christmas at the
only place on the earth's surface
where such thing could happea.''

The federal supreme court has
affirmed the decision of the circuit
court of appeals which ruled that the
practice of ticket scalping is Illegal.
This puts ticket brokers permanently
out of business, and it is good thing
for both the railroads and the public.
Tickets purchased from these scalpers
could never be depended upon and the
buyer had no protection.

There is such a thing as carrying
anti-railroad legislation too far. For
instance, down in Alabama the legis-
lature has passed laws which deny
railroads the right to appeal to the
courts in order to determine the con-
stitutiona1ity of statute and to pre-
vent an interstate railroad from
enforcing rights which it may be
entitled to in the federal courts.
Commenting upon this legislation the
Memphis Commercial Appeal has this
to say:
''Will this sort of thing do
the south any good? We would: like
to see every track in the south paral.
leled.. Our business needs it. What
railroad will undertake it in the face
of this bitter hatred? If the Alabama
idea should spread to Tennessee and
other southern states railroad devel.
opment would cease, first-class service
would yield to second-class service,
and the handling of our crops and
products would be greatly embar.
rassed. The result would be that
prices would drop, that many mills
and mines would be idle, that thou.
sands of railroad men would be
dropped, that many manufacturing
plants would shut down, and thai
every branch Of business. would be
seriously affected"
