CUCUMBER SALAD.

Cucumbers of medium size should
be treated the same as the tomatoes
and placed on ice for an hour or
two.
About fifteen minutes before serv-
ing the cucumbers should be lifted
out and held on dry cloth; also the
tomato, to drain while the dressing
is prepared.
The dressing should be made of
one part of the best vinegar to two
parts of salad oil, half teaspoonful
of freshly made mustard may be
added to each three tablespoonful
of the oil and vinegar and table,
spoonful of poppy seed.
These should be mixed thoroughly.
The cucumbers and tomatoes should
then be laid in layers in the salad
bowl and the dressing poured over
them, the bowl having, if one wishes,
been rubbed with onion or garlic

For morning wear we see the
short, pleated skirt and a short coat,
all in tussore, with perhaps piping
in striped or spotted fabrics. These
are smart and neat and will be seen
later on abroad, invariably accompan-
led by a hat trimmed with wide
wings, which still continues the rage
in the world of millinery. We note,
too, that some of the short corselet

4 FAR REACHING MEASURE
GOVERNMENT WOULD scRUn
NIzE ISSUES OF STOCK.
Dill Introduced In Senate Designed to
Stop Of the Abuses Of Spec
ulatoFs,

Washington, Dec. 10.-A far.reach
Ing bill for the regulation of the fu
ture issues of securities by transpor
tation companies and telegraph and
telephone companies engaged in inter.
state commerce was introduced in the
senate Wednesday by Mr.. Dolliver,
one Of the authors of the railroad rate
laws. 1t is said that the measure rep.
resents the administration view. He
explained the provisions of the bill as
follows:
THE measure 10 designed to subject
the future issues Of stocks and bonds
BY transportation companies, tele-
phone and telegraph companies, en-.
gagged in interstate commerce, to the
scrutiny Of the government Of the
United States. 1t is drawn on the
theory that these corporations should
be so organized that there should be
Just and reasonable relation between
their assets and their liabilities. It is
Intended to prevent over-capitalization,
stock watering, bond manipulation and
all similar abuses. The effect of 1t
will be to give stability to the exist |
ing volume of railway securities and |
at the same time to 50 guard future
issues as to give normal values to
stocks and bonds.
THE bill is applicable to all cor.
porations which are subject to existing
laws for the regulation Of interstate
commerce and. In addition, to tele-
phone and telegraph companies en-
Saged in interstate commerce.
1T is undertaken In the bill to make
standard Of legality. by which the
Talidity Of stock and bond issues may
70 adjudged. These features Of the
i'll have been drawn without any In
ention to hinder or embarrass legiti-
nate enterprise, either of railroad
uilding or railroad consolidation"

Are Selling By Weight.

A number of grocers Of the stat,
have placed signs in their windows
stating that they will sell potatoes,
onions, etc.. BY weight. This is in
accordance with the pure food law.
ln several cities Of the state recently
the inspectors have arrested men for
selling potatoes and other staple
articles under weight. The usual
method Is to ill peck sack, IL that
amount is wanted, and send it out
without weighing. This is not al
lowed under the pure food law, and
the inspectors are seeing that the law
is being strictly enforced in this re.

NO WEIGHTS, NO MEASURES
Whist Has Become Of Dickinson
County Standards?

I An attempt Is to DO made by th
state sealer Of weights and measures
who Is Chancellor Strong Of the Uni
versity Of Kansas at Lawrence, to es
tablish state department OF publ,
inspection and testing Of weights and
measures.
He has addressed letter contain
ing questions looking to that end to
all the county clerks in the state.
County Clerk King Of Dickinson cOun-
ty got bis today and returned it with
his answers. It is not generally
known, perhaps, but every comfy is
compelled by law to keep in the pos
session Of its county clerk an APP
proved set Of weights and measures
but Dickinson's psraphernalia seems
to have strayed good deal since it
was bought years ago. Nobody
around the court house knows where
any OF the material is. When Mr..
King took office he looked up the law
and asked where the measures were
but everybody laughed at him and be
gave it up. He has never had a call
or them. Mr.. King thinks the

CARJCATURISG DIGNITARIES.

The caricaturing of high officials even the
head of the state, of which complaint, some
times well founded and sometimes i'll founded,
has often been made in this country, and for
the regulation Of which legislation has been
sought is evidently one of those matters which
they do not order better in France. On the
contrary. the grievance seems TO be particularly
serious there and to involve features which are
really ominouS.
Mr. GervaiS, a prominent member of the
Chamber of Deputies. complains not that he
and his colleagues caricatured, but that
the President of the republic is grossly bur
lesqued and pctorially or dramatically lam
pooned apparently with malicious intent to
make him seem ridiculous or contemplate or
worse, and that this is done publicly, with in
dications of popular approval. In London, he
points out, when picture Of the sovereign is
presented on the screen at a music hall it is
always respectful likeness and is treated
with loyal respect But in Paris picture of
the President when thus presented is usually
most offensive caricature, deliberately calcu-
lated to provoke derision. 1t may be added
that at circ1ses in France clowns often
dressed rp to: represent the President, and his
likeness and name are commonly used for ad-
vertisng PURPOSES often in most undignified
if not positively insulting manner And all
such pictorial lampoonings are greeted by the
Yet, strange to say. the people generally have
high respect for the President, and there is
law strictly forbidding such caricatures of him.
Why, then, do they not resent the outrage
which is done TO their own sentiments, and
why do they not enforce the law? Because,
probably, of an exaggerated fear of being
thought TO take things too seriously and of be-
ing regarded purtanical That seems to
be the only explanation. Nevertheless, Mr..
Gervais says, the abuse, if unchecked, must
have an evil effect upon France in the eyes Of
the world Strangers who have not the French
temperament will not appreciate the French
reasons for liberation of such practices, and
will conclude that the people have scant respect
for their chosen chief of state. The matter is
10 doubt difficult and delicate to deal
with by legislation and through police action.
But it ought TO be possible to regulate it
through the operation of public taste and self
respect.
New-York tribune., 1908-07-27

causes the range Of given transmtter Is ex-
tremeIy variable While Admiral Sperry was
on the way from San Francisco to Honolulu
the attempt TO distinguish messages supposed
to have been sent from his ship when only
thousand miles from Hawaii was highly unsat-
sfactory. Only when the distance had been
cut down at least one-half did every letter and
word become unmstakable. 1t will be noted
that the Point Iona operator opened commu-
ncation with the Connecticut just after mid
night, when the parayzing influence OF day
light was at minimum but there is no GER
tainty that the feat could be duplicated at the
same hour if systematic efforts were made for
the next six months.
Though Americas requirements may In some
respects differ from those OF England this
dom of following the example here outlined.
On the Atlantic Coast teere are several navy
yards at which wireless messages are eI-
changed with ships. Possibly the number OF
stations should be enlarged but the most OBJ
vious need seems TO be an Increase In the
range of their transmitters. The Pacific Coast
is not quite so well off. There is gap Of only
about six hundred miles between Puget Sound
and San Francisco. ANY break In 1t may
hardly be necessary but'two or three 1udicious-
ly distributed stations in Alaska, and one near
Magdalena Bay. If Mexico's consent could be
obtained to its establishment could hardly fail
to prove advantageous in time, especially IL
1t were feasible to send messages from those
places to a distance of eight hundred or one
thousand miles at any hour OF the day.
