NO PERE MARQUETTE ACQUISITION.
z. B. Ledyard, of Michigan Central, Denies
New York Central Report

Detroit, Dec 3-"There IS absolutely founda-
ton for them" replied Henry 3. Ledyard, chair
man OF the Michigan Central Railway board OF
directors, to-day when asked about ruInors that
the Pere Marquette system might be taken into
the New York Central the first OF the year
THE Pere Marquette Is e competing line OF the
Michigan Central IN every important Michigan
town. and such combination would be illegal, to
begin with. Besides II IS not likely that, after
my thirty years work in bringing the Michigan
Central up 10 its present condition, the system
would be charged with the task OF equally de-

the Pere Marquette board is entirely personal and

FEEL AMERICAN PANIC.
Partisan Hotels Have Balances on
Wrong Side of Ledger.

Partisan Hotels Have Balances on
Wrong Side of Ledger.
Paris hotels largely dependent on
American trade are undergoing the
hardest times in years. Hotels which
before the money furry in the United
States were charging triple rates and
turning persons away are now unable
to pay expenses. Five dollar rooms are
offered at 81 and less.
The manager of a hotel near Place de
lEtoile said recently he had three
guests he knew were unable to pay
their bills, but he was keeping them
for the sake of appearances. In anoth-
er ltra-fashionabie hostelry near Place
Vendome there are only forty-three
guests. They have the entire staff
awaiting their orders and the manager
has given instructions that they have
everything they wish and that particu-
lar care be taken that none leaves.
"While we chiefly miss customers
from the United States" said the man.
ager of a large hotel, visitors from
other countries also arc scarce. The
American stringency evidently had a
bad effect on the moneyed class all over
the world. The less expensive hotels
continue to do a normal business, but
high-priced places, not only in Paris
but in the south Of France, are doing
little business"

''Oh, yes" returned Ella. Hire one

work and women.

For the first time in its History the
United States Supreme Court has re-
Gently been called upon TO decide the
right of a State TO regulate the work
ing hours of adult women. A law OF
Oregon limits these hours to ten in one
day i'm factories, mechanical establish
ments and laundries. Curt Miller, a
laundryman, attacked the constitution
atty Of this law, which was, however,
upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court in
1906. The decision of the Federal SUI
preme Court. to which the case was
appealed, will substantially determine
the constitutionality of all laws re-
stricting women's working hours in the
United States. Such laws have been
enacted In nineteen States. the earliest
in Massachusetts, in 1874, the latest
more than generation afterwards.
Thes. laws are not the result of an
ephemeral public within, but deliber-
ate public purpose. One of the leading
members of the Boston bar, Mr.. Louis
d. Brandeis, generously volunteered
his services as associate counsel in ar
guing at Washington this Oregon case.
Mr.. Brandeis also submitted a brief
which is of extraordinary interest. in
that it brings before the court the ac-
tual facts at issue in this case-that is,
the effects, physical, moral and econom-
ic, of regulating women's working
hours The Outlooly

Here is a simple contrivance which

night place this roll down the center

it also separate the pillows. The chill

though one set of covers does for both.
The covers can be pinned to the roll
with large safety pins to keep them
from slipping. The roll prevents the
motions of one child from disturbing
the other, holds the covers in place.
and gives the little ones something soft
to ''snuggle up TO- Each child is prac-
tically alone in bed by itself.

Learn to Shake Hands.

One does not need to grasp the hand
in a death-like grip, but there is some
thing about a good handshake which is
the silent interpreter of welcome. A
person possessing a great deal of per-
sonal magnetism Inay just take your
hand in his and the cordial welcome is
recognized without even so much as the
slightest pressure of the fingers.
Others may have good grip, which is
more like a clutch. There is not set
rule for handshaking unless a person
bears in mind that handshaking must
be feeling expressed with the hands
and not the eye or voice. If only done
through a matter of form, there is no
earthly use of shaking hands at all.
Strong intuition serves a great many
persons, and to grasp a cold, clammy
hand, which lies like a piece of marble
in ones hand. is to make a big-hearted
person feel like he had come in contact
with the wrong party.
