Bulletin.
the mIDwINTER OUTING.

This is the time for the ~midwinter outing. A dash OF
summer in the midst of winter is an agreeable variation. 1t
makes for health and pleasure and stimulates vitality.
For the extended trip, Southern California, the fruit and
flower land of the Pacific Coast, offers unrivaled attractions.
For the fortnights trip, Florida. the summer garden OF
the Northern winter, bids you come and enjoy its genial sum
shine, its tropical scenes and its outdoor life.
For the ten days outing, Pinehurst, Camden, Aiken,
Augusta, Southern Pines and other popular resorts in the pine
belt of the Carolfnas and Georgia offer many inducements.
For the short trip-the weekend outing Atlantic City is
always attractive. The same breezes that deprsss the Their
mometer in summer seem to keep it up in winter. It offers
great hotels on the oceans edge, out-of-door life on land and
sea, and a climate full of snap but shorn of the winter
severity.
Before deciding on your nidwinter outing consult a
Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent and get a Pennsylvania
Railroad Winter Excursion Book. Whether you select Cali
fornia, Florida, the Carolinas, or Atlantic City, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad offers a comprehensive train service, reasonable
rates and ticketing arrangements, and the best facilities that

OPTION ON
FIRE SUPPLY
STATION
Buildings Committee II
Recommend Its Purchase
at $SS,OOO.

The public buildings committee OF
tive session last night the purchase
of a site for q reserve and supply fire
station that in time IA be converted
into a central fire station. The COM
mittee will recommend to the Common
Council the purchase Of a piece OF
ground 11S by 14o feet, located within
five minutes walk of the -Four Corners.
The purchase price is $4,000.
Alderman Michael j. MCGOWAN.
chairman of the committee, after a
ers, took an option on the property,
and the committee will make a further
inspection before the Council meets.
AS was told In the EVENING STAR
yesterday, this action by the commit
tee kills the prospect of a central fire
station with a place for the engines,
horses and chiefs apparatus. This
would cost several hundred thousand
dollars, and. in the opinion Of the pres
ent committee, would be a needless ex-
penditure Of money, as there are a
sufficient number of engine houses in
the centre OF the city at the present
time.
The committee proposes to erect a
f1ve-story building, the cost of which is
not to exceed s35, 900, and the total Of
the land n the building will not ex-
coed h price of h site recommend
ed by last years building committee.
In a communication from Mrs. Lydia
Grimm, attention was called to an appar-
ent discrepancy in surveys. Accompany
ing the letter was q sketch which would
show, il correct. that a wall and fence of
tho First Precinct police station is par
TALLY erected on Mrs. Grimm's property.
A letter from Walter A. Kane, assistant
engineer OF the Board of Works. was read,
in which Mr.. Kan said that the city
property did not abut on Mrs. Grimm's.
Modified plans for a new truck house,
to be located on Ferry street between Brill
and Hawkins streets, in the Twelfth
Ward, were accepted. The appropriation
available for building the truck ous Is
$4,000, but John r. Ely, the architect,
said that he was of the opinion that the
building would be erected for less money.

HARDNESS OF ARTERIES
FIXES P%OLICEMAN'S AGE.
Novel Method Adopted in Chicago to
Govern Retirements from
the Force.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Chicago policemen
are to be retired in the order OF the hard
ness Of their arteries.
1T has been determined beyond dispute
that Il man Is ~ old as his arteries said
Health Commissioner Evans. in explain
ing the plan on which the retiring board
will work. "Nvhile it Is a universal rule"
he added, that as a man grows older his
arteries harden, the process of hardening
does not move evenly with the years. The
arteries Of a man of so may be harder than
those OF another man Of Go. IT depends
on the way he has lived"
The machine for testing the arteries is
a hollow rubber a put around the
biceps Of the arm and connecting with a
rubber tube which runs TO a common
pump bulb in the hand. BY working the
bulb the person being examined forces
air into the band around the arm until
1t swells enough TO stop the pulse. A mer-
curry tandard attached indicates how
much pressure this takes.

INTELLIGENCE CAN BE
GAGGED BY THE EYE.
Chicago Physician Says Habits and
Character Can Also Be Traced by
Photos of Retina.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. s2.-By photo
graphing the network of nerves at the
back of the eyes Of birds and animals,
as we'll as human beings, DR.. Casey
Wood, Of Chicago. declares the charac-
ter and habits Of the subject may be
accurately traced.
DR.. Wood, who is one of the foremost
ornithologists in tho world, has made
photographs by the aid OF a high-power
magnifying glass. His studies show that
mental ability may be gagged by these
pictures, for they show a marked
variation which accords with the habits
and intelligence of the subject.
DR.. Wood'came from Chicago to lee
ture before the American Ornithological
Union at the Academy of Natural
Sciences. On a screen he threw pictures
of the retina, taken by his process, OF
the eyes of the white man, the albino
and then of the African negro and oil
the chimpanzee. The pictures repre-
senting the negro and the chimpanzee
were similar to a marked degree, while
both differed greatly from the eyeballs
of the white man.

Mr.. Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal in
The cause of economic reform has been in nc
vfse abated by the panic which he and his
Lind did so much to bring on, is out with al
answer to President Mofett, of the Standard
Oil Company Of Indiana. The publication OF
this answer, it is officially given out, was de-
layed several weeks, 'fUr business reasons, >
because it was not deemed advisable to further
excite the public mind. which was profoundly
disturbed by the crisis. Now that the storm
clouds have rolled by, however, the Commits
sioner rushes again into the fray.
Our readers remember the chief points in
The defense of the STANDARD Oil Company, as
presented by President Moffett, were, ~ That
The rate of six cents on Oil from Whiting to
East st. Louis had been issued TO the Standard
Oil Company as the lawful rate by employees
of the Alton, () that the 1S-cent rate on file
with the Interstate Commerce Commission
was a class and not a commodity rate, never
being intended to apply to oil, ~ that oil was
shipped in large quantities between Whiting
and East st. Louis over the Chicago and East
ern Illinois at six and one-fourth cents per
the Interstate Commerce Commission as the
lawful rate, and a. that the 1S-cent rate on
oil was entirely out of proportion to lawful
rates on other commodities between these
points of a similar character and of greater
value. such, for example, as linseed oil. the
lawful rate on which was eight cents. Presi-
dent Noffett also stated that thousands of
tons Of freight had been sent by other shippers
DpbWcPIl l1eSB pOlDuS uuuSI SuDSbdllbldlly Ollc
same conditions as governed the shipments of
The Standard Oil Company.
This defense of the STANDARD OIL Company
was widely quoted and has undoubtedly exert
ed a powerful influence upon the public mind.
Naturally the Administration, which has
stakcd the success of its CAM aign against
the trusts upon the result of it's attack
upon this company, endeavors TO offset this
influence, and hence the new deliverance of
Commissioner Smith.
We naad la r1lv mint ont that his rahutta1
argument is extremely weak, although as
warrant. He answers the points made by
The STANDARD Oil Company had n traffic de-
six-cent rate had not been filed, icy no answer,
80 the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rate was

ing. but from BOLTON. which is described as
"A village of about ! 500 population Just put

IL has been for many years the point of origin
for this and similar secret rates" The JONI
missioner admits in describing bhis rate that
there was a note attached stating that the
rate could also be used from Whiting.
TIL press has quite generally hailed this
statement OF the Commissioner of Corpora
lions as a conclusive refutation of what is
evidently recognized as the strongest rebuttal
argument advanced by the Standard.
In fact, it is as weak and inconclusive as
the remainder of his argument. The lines of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois do not run
into Chicago. They terminate at BOLTON,
from which point entrance is made over the
