s Aside from his methods let me call
Iattention that the question is not
whether sports are desirable, not wheth-
Ter certain sports are more desirable
fEthan others; but whether there IS a
law regulating or prohibiting certain
forms of sport. 1t is a question of law.
II To an unprejudiced person, to one

Through which to crawl, to one whose
sense of Justice has not been warped
Through ''legal'' activities, it would
seem that the law on the matter of

intends that such exhibitions as were
billed for Saturday evening week ago
shall not be conducted in the Territories
of the u. S. That the executive officers
have seen fit to interpret the law to
Ut the occasion and persons concerned
IS extremely deplorable. That Old Pro
Bono Pub. dares to further encourage
such disregard of the law is Indicative
|snf how little regard he has for law,
how little the spirit of true sportsmen-
ship has entered into his being.
M / sympathize very little with MessIs.

IF they be bad laws, their enforcement
will cause their repeal. If they be good
laws the American community is en-
titled to the benefit to be derived from

The Couture

Present coiffures reveal infinite pa

and the effect is simple and artless in
the extreme. No more of your round
bullet heads, encircled with regular
and almost metallic waves achieved
by the systematic passage of hot
iron mathematically balanced, and
surmounted by geometrical coil of
precise proportions and definite out
line-all this is now thought provin-
cial, prim, graceless, not to say de-
mode. Instead, the hair is bundled,
rolled, twisted and Topped with the
appearance of carelessness and indefi-
mite intention, high drawn here,
dropping there, now sweeping in a
smooth, long fiat stretch of shining
lock, then breaking into a witching
tendril or fascinating curl. The iron
crumples up this little spot, or bit
of brilliantine smooths out that, after
the couture is almost completed, as
the exigencies Of the hair ornament

their hair alike, save that 1t Is done

Miss Eleanor Curtis ("Marguerite
Blanc'), in her clever little sketch OF
"The Graceful Art" declares for the

modern ballet is Greek art. The first
masters of modern dancing argued
that what is satisfyingly beautiful in
marble must be doubly so in flesh and
blood and set to music; so they stud

this: That he would put on his over

Loss in Labor Power.

Probably no reader has the least
idea what is the total amount of inn
prlsonment to which offenders in this
country are sentenced every year.
The figures are remarkable. In round
numbers $50 people receive sentences
of 1900 years penal servitude, and
$4,000 people receive sentences of
$500 years Imprisonment. That is
a total of 10000 years. What a
big loss this is to this country! Not
only have all these people to be fed,
clothed, housed, guarded, but they
are practically idle--or, at least. their
work is of little value. The great
majority of them are in the prime of
working life, age from twenty to
sixty.-London Answers.

Corsets Good For Women.

DR.. L. E. Landrone, whose plan to
improve the human race by applying
Luther Burbank's plant theories to
the training of children has attracted
much attention, now commends the
modern corset. In an address before
the members of the Women's Literary
Club he declared that the stays were
good for the reason that the torso
muscles have been weakened for CEN
turtles through the generous support
of the corset until now the average
female form could not stand without
Its help.
The speaker said that the body was
composed of chemical fluids at the
mercy of the emotions. Anger, ha-
tired and. sorrow poisons the fluids of
the body, while love, cheerfulness and
happiness serve as eliminators of the
motive fatigue poisons.
