KILL STOCKING TAX.
Chicago Women on Warpath Against
Tariff.
Chicago. March 2.

Chicago. March 22.-"Kill the
stocking tax.
A country wide movement against
certain features OF the Payne tariff
bill, which will bewparticipated in by
more than two million women, is seen
in plans just launched here. Chicago
club women have determined to en-
list the National Federation of Wom-
ems clubs in an attack on the sched-
ule in its application to stockings and
stocking materials.
Features of the Payne bill which
retain the present high tariff on wool,
silk and cotton stuffs and even in
crease the tariff on cotton stockings
of every description are also being
discussed.
A special meeting of the Illinois
Federation of Women's clubs is to be
called Immediately for the purpose of
organizing an anti-stoc cking tax lobby.
Mrs Francis Everett, president of the
Illinois federation, announces that the
stocking tax situation will be brought
at once to the attention of the ma
tional organization.
''It is fortunate for us, too, that the
general council of the national fed
Grafton meets in San Antonio, Texas
next week" said Mrs. Everett. "Of
course. this matter will be brought
before that body as the most impor-
tant thing for consideration among a
thousand interests
1t is said that prices of all varieties
of stockings had been steadily in
creasing for the last twenty years and
that within the last three years values
have gone up by leaps and bounds.

GRILLS SCHOOL SYSTEM
Thinks Hours Should Be Lessened,
With More Manual Training.

Chicago, March 22.-Dr. Emil G..
Hirsch grills the public school system
and believes that two hours of study
and two hours of manual training is
better than six hours of study and
recitation. In a communication upon
the subject to his congre cation he
says:
'I plead for the utilitarian subjects,
and at the risk of being criticised by
every editor in town for my narrow
ness 1 assert that only one language
should be taught in the grades. Let
the cultural subjects be reserved for
the child when he is able to receive
culture.
1.-THE American school system was
founded on the idea that any man
could do anything and it was not
necessary to learn any one thing. 1t
is now necessary that child find out
what he can and cannot do. The
school should help him.

NO EFFECT ON MARKET.
Introduction of Tariff Bill Did Not
Weaken Stocks.

New York, March 22.-The intro
duction of the new tariff bill into the
special session of congress had but
little immediate effect on the stock
market 1t had been expected that
the proposed reduction of duties would
weaken stocks of many corporations
directly interested in the protective
duties on imports. But the profess
sional short selling previous to the
introduction of the bill more than bal
anced such selling as may have been
caused by it. The conviction that
many alterations will be made in the
bill before its final adoption disposes
operators in stocks to adopt a wait
ing attitude pending more definite
shaping of the proposed law. The
growing tide of the gold movement to
London attracted increased attention
as the week closed.
