Horse mist as to the future OF both
Vehicles branches of the vehicle industry.
Popular In his address at the recent an

Washington, he said Any one who believes that the
carriage building industry of this country is the de-
cline is certainly not acquainted with the figures re-
ported by governmental and other statstcans. That
branches grades and styles of construction have
been injured by the advent of the automobile has not
been disputed but there were 1,500 900 horse drawn
spring vehicles built in the United States this year
The number of automobiles built in 1908 is estimated at
80 000 and the whole number of those in running con-
dition in the United States probably not than
IT'S, 900. How many on the scrap heap is another
matter In 1897 there 13 500, 900 horses in the
country, and their average value $37 EACH Ten
years later the number Of horses had increased to TO-
6OO 000 with average value of $95 each and today
there 23 648 600 horses, together with 424O 900
mules in the country, and the number Of horse drawn
vehicles built this year is twenty per cent greater than
in 1908."

Money may cover multitude of faults in human
being but there comes time when money ceases
to be virtue Such instance this witnessed
in San Francisco few weeks ago
Jewish when couple of Jewish ladies
Ladies were refused membership in Sc
Snubbed lect musical club among the Anglo
Saxons of that city. The
bershp of the club at present is 300 and among
them are twenty-five Jewish ladies' but the board of d
rectors recently made rule that Jewish la
dies would be admitted into the club unless
of the twenty five for some reason dropped out and all
Jewish applicants simply put on the waiting list
The Jewish ladies demanded why this DONE but
the Anglo refused to give any reasons but de-
clared the rules would be lived up to and fierce social
row broke out which may be carried into business cir
cles Here is case of drawing a racial line
that has more money per capita than any other in
the whole world It is to be regretted that
class of human beings thinks the members of it's class
are mentally superior to another and make unpleasant
feelings on account of it, but they do and there is
use losing any sleep good feelings it. There is
always plenty Of opportunity of making yourself happy
within Yourself and this is applicable to both Jew and

that this uncouth old will again be beaten and a
