DESIGN IN SHIFTING BUREAU
Suggestion Of Sherlock Holmes Found
Useful by Girl Who Likes to Be
Well Dressed.

Apparently. the room was comfort
able but it had one insurmountable
drawback
There is only one place to keep the
bureau" said the tall girl: therefore
| cannot live here. | must have a
room large enough to permit hauling
the bureau around. Here 1t will have
to stand always so the light from the
window will strike my left side while
dress. That would be detrimental to
the small share of good looks now pos
sessed by my right side.
Sherlock Holmes put me on to the
necessity OF switching my looking
glass around every little while, il l
wish to preserve a uniformity Of good
looks. He pointed out that the side
Of the body that the light strikes most
directly while dressing will always be
best groomed. The hair will be curled
more artistically. the powder be laid
on more smoothly. and even the
clothes will be arranged more becom.
ingly. This being so. it stands to rva.
son that the side that gets most al
tention constantly is going to improve
in the same ratio that the neglected
side deteriorates, and that the person
who dresses for months before glass
that always stands in the same posi-
ton as regards the light is going to
get really lopsided so far as good
looks are concerned"
The top-hoor girl sighed reflectively.
81 wonder" she said IF that is the
reason my hair is so much thinner on
the right side. I'm going right straight
home and move my bureau"

GOOD JOKE ON THE OFFICERS,
Long and Stern Chase Of College Stu
dents That Ended in Something
of a Fiasco.

Once, in a college town, the rumor
that students were carrying concealed
weapons reached the ears of the local
police Their chief at once issued strin-
gent orders that the heinous practice
should be stopped.
In this particular college town the
students were no different from stu
dents the world over in other words,
they dearly loved to bother the police
to the best of their ability, So one day
a group of them nonchalantly passed a
policeman, and one of the students, in
so doing, put his hand to his hip peck
ct. Then, as if recollecting himself in
time, he hastily withdrew it and looked
sheepishly at the policeman.
What have you in that pocket?' the
latter asked sternly.
Instead of answering, the student
and all his companions, as if panic
stricken, started to run. Immediately
the policeman blew his whistle, sum-
moned several of his companions, and
started after the group. After a con-
siderable chase in the course Of which
the policemen were badly winded and
reused to a great pitch of anger, all
the students were cornered, and sum-
marily ordered to deliver up what
ever they had in their hip pockets.
Meekly they obeyed. Each one car
ried a corncob. The remarks Of
the policemen cannot possibly be re-
corded.

MUST SHOW CHANGES
TO BE REASONABLE
Needham Bill Places New Re-
quirementS Upon Railroads

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-Railroad
companies must show that changes IN
rates or rules and regulations proposed
by them are just and reasonable before
being able to put such changes in eff
feet, if the bill which has been intro
duced by Representative Needham of
California is enacted into law. The
Dill amends the act to regulate COM
merce so as to give the shippers every
opportunity to receive fair treatment
with regard to increases in rates.
BY its provisions the interstate COM
merce commission in its discretion may
issue an order continuing the existing &
rates and rules whenever changes are
proposed. until hearing has been held
and a decision rendered by the commits
sion.
The amendment gives the shippers
the right to file protest against any
proposed change within 80 days after
the notice of such change has been for
warded to the commission by the rail-
roads. The commission may then issue
continuing order until the lawful
ness and reasonableness of the pro-
posed change have been determined.
